We focus our offerings on Global 5000 and high-growth middle market firms and service over 20,000 customers through three principal business groups:

    divine Professional Services combines our knowledge of how to design and deploy software solutions with our expertise in technology, infrastructure, and marketing services and offers services for legacy systems integration, brand extension, call center automation, business process optimization, operational strategy consulting, SAP installation, supply chain and customer management, and technology infrastructure consulting.

Additionally, we have joined the alliance programs of key vendors such as BEA, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Computer Associates, Netscape, Oracle, and Sun/iPlanet to extend support to our mutual customers and introduce our solutions into new arenas. While these alliances add value to all of our constituencies, they also provide us and our partners with additional technical, marketing, and sales resources to expedite the development and delivery of complete e-business solutions.

        Our principal offices are located at 1301 N. Elston Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60622, telephone number (773) 394-6600.

All references to "we," "us," "our," and "divine" refer to divine, inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

divine History

        We were incorporated as divine interVentures, inc. on May 7, 1999 and commenced operations on June 30, 1999. We began by engaging in business-to-business e-commerce through a community of associated companies in which we invested. From September 30, 1999 to December 31, 2000, we acquired interests in 40 associated companies, established a total of 13 associated companies whose opportunities were consistent with our former business strategy, while further developing our operational procedures and capabilities.

3


        In February 2001, we announced our strategy to focus primarily on enterprise Web solutions, and changed our name to divine, inc. Since then, interests in our associated companies that provide Web-based technology, software, professional services, and managed applications are no longer reflected separately but have become integrated into our core business strategy and operating model as a fully integrated set of products and services. Our other associated companies, offering software and services focused on e-commerce and vertical markets, were included in our divine interVentures portfolio. As of December 31, 2001, we have completely written off our investments in the associated companies in our divine interVentures portfolio, other than amounts included in available-for-sale securities.

        We have executed a disciplined acquisition strategy enabling us to acquire market-leading technology, significant intellectual property, and world-class talent that round out our extended enterprise solutions. We have acquired companies providing professional services, Web-based technology, and managed services, positioning us to provide comprehensive solutions and a single point of accountability to our customers.

divine Strategy

        Our goal is to become the recognized leader in advanced enterprise Web solutions that offer global businesses the ability to improve collaboration, workflow, and business relationships through delivery of a powerful combination of technology, software, services and managed applications. As the flow of information becomes more liberated and complex, we believe that a new breed of provider must unite the skills and emerging technologies required to create the advanced enterprise Web solutions that allow companies to go beyond transaction processing. In order to reach this goal, we have adopted these key strategic objectives:

    Position divine as a technology owner and solutions integrator. We plan to differentiate ourselves by positioning divine as a technology owner and solutions integrator.
    Develop, acquire, and integrate offerings and solutions. We will continue to focus on developing, acquiring, and integrating additional innovative technologies and solutions that can be combined to offer a powerful and comprehensive set of integrated services, technologies, and hosting capabilities that advance and extend our customers' businesses to include external and internal business communities.
    Target a specific customer base. We plan to target customers who can benefit from greater collaboration, interaction, more efficient workflow, and better management of business relationships between their customers, employees, partners, suppliers, prospects, and sources of information. We believe these customers are primarily in the financial services, insurance, energy, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and telecommunications industries.
    Expand our relationships with existing customers. We currently offer solutions from one or more of our business groups to approximately 20,000 customers. By expanding our relationships with our current customers, we can increase our offerings to them and capitalize on cross-selling opportunities with their customers, suppliers, partners, and distributors.
    Support and complement our solutions through alliances with business partners. We will continue to establish strategic alliances that supply additional channels for our products, help us to build industry- specific solutions for our customers, and enable us to attract and retain customers who prefer to deal with large, stable solutions providers.

        We anticipate that the integration of these companies into our products and services offering will help us to deliver a combination of professional services, software services, and managed services to our

12



customers. Our business strategy includes the acquisition of other businesses that are complementary to ours, including other providers of enterprise software products or professional services.

Competition

        The market for our products and services is relatively new, intensely competitive, fragmented, quickly evolving, and subject to rapid technological change. We believe the primary competitive factors in our markets include breadth of offerings, price, flexibility, scalability, functionality, ease of use, ease of deployment, reputation, brand awareness, service, and support. We expect competition to continue to increase in the future.

        We will compete with a variety of companies in each product and solutions category, independently or on an integrated basis. Some of divine's competitors include:

    divine Professional Services. In the professional services space our competitors include Accenture, AnswerThink, CSC, Deloitte & Touche, and Sapient.

    divine Software Services. In the software services space our competitors include Art Technology Group (ATG), Interwoven, Documentum, and Vignette. We also compete with Concerto, Avaya, Stratasoft, SER Solutions, and SunDial in the CIM Telephony space; eRoom, Lotus, Intraspect, Jabber, and Placeware in the Collaboration space; EBSCO Subscription Services, Swets Blackwell, Screamingmedia, Dialog—NewsEdge, and Yellowbrix in the Information Services space; and Broadvision, Documentum, Interwoven, Stellent, and Vignette in the content management space.

    divine Managed Services. In the managed services space our competitors include Digex, Genuity, IBM, Loudcloud, Navisite, and Qwest Communications.

        We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us could hurt our business and financial results. Furthermore, many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, greater name recognition and a larger customer base than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products and solutions than we can. Also, larger companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Seibel, and Oracle may expand their product lines and bundle their products to discourage users from buying competing offerings. Additionally, many competitors have established and will likely continue to establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties in order to increase their market penetration.

Government Regulations and Legal Uncertainties

        Due to the Internet's popularity and increasing use, new laws and regulations may be adopted that could have an adverse effect on us. In particular, states may impose discriminatory, multiple, or special taxes on the Internet in the event the current moratorium on the application of these taxes, due to end on November 1, 2003, is not extended. If this moratorium ends, Federal taxes also may be imposed on the use of the Internet. These state and federal taxes could cause a decrease in the volume of e-commerce and, therefore, the demand for our products and services. The enactment of any additional laws or regulations, including international laws and regulations, could impede the growth of the Internet and e-commerce, which could decrease our revenue and place additional financial burdens on our business.

        Federal, state, or foreign agencies have also adopted, and may continue to adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of outbound call processing systems. These laws or regulations could limit the market for our products, or expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

13



Proprietary Rights

        We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our products and technology. We hold numerous United States and foreign patents covering processes and technologies used in telephony-based call management systems, such as inbound/outbound call blending, call progress analysis, and screen pops of the called person's account information. We also hold several patents that assert claims for certain aspects or uses of electronic commerce software, such as distributed commerce; secure, real-time payment using credit and debit cards over the Internet; and the use of "electronic shopping carts" and session identifiers. We have a number of pending domestic and foreign patent applications on innovations for which patents have not yet been issued and we continually assess our technology for potential patent filings.

        We require software licensees to enter into license agreements that impose certain restrictions on their use of our software. We have also taken steps to avoid disclosure of our trade secrets, including requiring those persons with access to our proprietary technology and information to enter into confidentiality agreements with us. In addition to our United States common law rights in our trademarks and service marks, we pursue the registration of our trademarks and service marks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and equivalent foreign agencies.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 3,600 employees. We believe that our relations with our employees are generally good.

Risk Factors

We have incurred significant losses in the past, and we expect to incur additional losses in the future.

        We incurred net losses of approximately $9,407,000 for the period from inception on May 7, 1999 through December 31, 1999, aproximately $470,319,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and approximately $369,824,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The majority of these losses in 1999 and 2000 were related to the consolidated operations of our associated companies and charges we took to reduce the carrying values of these associated companies. The majority of our loss in 2001, however, was related to the operation of our business and our operation of businesses we have acquired. We expect to incur additional losses for at least the next year. In addition, changes to our business strategy, operating plans, and product lines, and any restructuring activity, may cause us to incur additional expenses. Our financial results also will be affected by our operation of businesses that we may acquire in the future, some of which may have incurred substantial losses.

        Our operating plan depends on us achieving significant increases in revenue and cash receipts and significant decreases in expenses. There is a substantial risk, however, that our revenue and cash receipts will not grow at a sufficient rate, and that we will not be able to reduce our expenses to keep them in line with our revenue. If we are unable to meet our revenue and expense management goals, we will need to significantly reduce our workforce, sell certain of our assets, enter into strategic relationships or business combinations, discontinue some or all of our operations, or take other similar restructuring actions. While we expect that these actions would result in a reduction of recurring costs, they also may result in a reduction of recurring revenues and cash receipts. It is also likely that we would incur substantial non-recurring costs to implement one or more of these restructuring actions.

Our liquidity is limited.

        We have never generated positive cash flows from operations. Our current liquidity and capital resources are limited. To succeed, we must in the near term reduce our rate of cash consumption and

14



improve our cash position. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Our stockholders may be significantly diluted.

        We are exploring a number of alternatives to generate cash, including acquiring other entities that have substantial cash balances, selling certain assets, and new debt or equity financings. We do not currently have in place any agreements to provide us any of these sources of funds, and these sources of funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, if they are available to us at all. In addition, any of these transactions also could result in significant equity dilution to the holders of our common stock at the time of the transaction, or later. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, the liquidity, visibility, and price of our common stock may decrease.

        Since our initial public offering in July 2000, our common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq National Market. Shares of our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market if we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market, including the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. On February 14, 2002, we received a letter from Nasdaq informing us that, among other things, for the past 30 consecutive trading days, the price of our common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion in the Nasdaq National Market. In addition, the letter notified us that if the minimum bid price for our common stock had not closed above $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trading days before May 15, 2002, our common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, pending any appeals to Nasdaq that we may make. In the event that our common stock has not regained compliance with this minimum bid price requirement by May 15, 2002, we intend to appeal any delisting procedure and to submit to our stockholders a proposal to effect a reverse stock split through a share combination.

        If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq National Market, we would be forced to list our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, OTC Bulletin Board, or some other quotation medium, depending upon our ability to meet the specific listing requirements of those quotation systems. If this happens, an investor might find it more difficult to buy and sell, or to obtain accurate price quotations for, shares of our common stock. This lack of visibility and liquidity could further decrease the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting from the Nasdaq National Market might negatively impact our reputation and, as a consequence, our business.

We have been in business for only two years, have little operating history, and have a new business strategy that may continue to change, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business.

        We were formed in May 1999 and began operations as an Internet holding company engaged in business-to-business e-commerce through a community of associated companies. We announced a new strategy to focus on enterprise Web solutions in February 2001. Because we have only recently begun operating under this new business strategy, there is limited data upon which you can evaluate our prospects. As we continue to analyze business plans and internal operations in light of market developments, we may decide to make further substantial changes in our business plan and organization. These changes in business strategy may include moving into areas in which we have little or no experience. Furthermore, our future business strategy will depend on our ability to successfully acquire and integrate other businesses as we continue to seek to expand our portfolio of products and services. We are, and will remain for the foreseeable future, subject to risks, expenses, and uncertainties frequently encountered by young companies, and it will continue to be difficult to evaluate our business and its likelihood of success.

15



Our overall performance and quarterly operating results may fluctuate and will be affected by the revenues and expenses generated from the products and services of businesses we acquire and will be affected by fluctuations in the sales of these products and services.

        We expect the revenues of businesses we acquire to comprise a significant portion of our revenues in the future. In particular, we expect the revenues of RoweCom Inc., a provider of knowledge resources which we recently acquired, to represent a significant portion of our revenues because RoweCom historically has recognized as revenue its cost of the knowledge resource it sells plus the fee retained by RoweCom. Fluctuations in the revenues generated from our offering of customer interaction management ("CIM") solutions, content management, knowledge resources, and professional services will likely impact our overall performance, and risks relating to our CIM solutions, content management, knowledge resources, and professional services may affect our success as a whole.

        Moreover, our revenues and results of operations have varied substantially from quarter to quarter. We expect large fluctuations in our future quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including:

    the completion of acquisitions and the increased revenues and expenses associated with the acquired businesses;

    the success of, and costs associated with, acquisitions, joint ventures, or other strategic relationships;

    losses or charges incurred by associated companies that may include significant write-downs, write-offs, and impairment charges;

    the level of product and price competition;

    the length of our sales and implementation processes;

    the size and timing of individual transactions;

    seasonal trends;

    the mix of products and services sold;

    software defects and other product quality problems;

    the timing of new product introductions and enhancements by us and our competitors;

    customer order deferrals in anticipation of enhancements or new products to be offered by us and our competitors;

    changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

    customers' fiscal constraints; and

    general economic conditions.

        Because RoweCom's cash flow is seasonal in nature, RoweCom periodically will have to rely on financing from us or third parties to support its needs for working capital. RoweCom has an established practice of paying publishers 30 to 60 days before receipt of its customers' funds. Consequently, RoweCom anticipates making substantial additional expenditures in the fourth quarter of each year, while receiving the majority of its cash receipts relating to those purchases late in the first quarter of the following year. Given these seasonal cash flow imbalances, if RoweCom has an unexpected demand for liquid capital, or does not have financing available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, when needed, it could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition.

16



If we do not successfully implement our acquisition strategy or address the risks associated with acquisitions, our growth and ability to compete may be impaired.

        Our business strategy includes the acquisition of other businesses that are complementary to ours, including other providers of enterprise software products, professional services, or managed applications. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates available for sale at reasonable prices, consummate any acquisitions, or successfully integrate any acquired businesses into our operations. Acquisitions, including our recently completed acquisitions of eshare communications, Inc., Open Market, Inc., RoweCom Inc., Eprise Corporation, and Data Return Corporation, and our pending acquisition of Delano Technology Corporation, involve a number of special risks and challenges, including:

    diversion of management's attention;

    expenses incurred to effect the transactions;

    assimilation of the operations and personnel of acquired companies;

    inability to eliminate redundant expenses;

    incorporation of acquired products into existing product lines;

    adverse short-term effects on reported operating results;

    assumption of the liabilities of acquired companies;

    loss of acquired customers;

    adverse reaction by our customers, vendors, and the capital markets if we are unable to consummate announced acquisitions;

    possible loss of key employees; and

    difficulty of presenting a unified corporate image.

If we are unable to successfully implement our acquisition strategy or address the risks associated with acquisitions, our growth and ability to compete may be impaired.

        If we engage in future acquisitions, we might finance these acquisitions with available cash, the proceeds from possible debt financing, the issuance of additional equity securities (common or preferred stock), or a combination of the foregoing. We may not be able to arrange adequate financing on acceptable terms. If we proceed with one or more significant future acquisitions, we may use a substantial portion of our available cash to consummate the acquisitions. If we consummate one or more significant acquisitions by issuing additional equity securities, the market price of our common stock could decline and stockholders could suffer significant dilution. Furthermore, sellers may be reluctant to accept divine common stock as consideration at its recent price level and given its historical volatility, in which case our ability to complete further acquisitions could be significantly limited.

        For most of the businesses that we may acquire, we will likely have to record significant goodwill and other intangible assets, and generally accepted accounting principles may require us to recognize substantial amortization charges on the other intangible assets, reducing our future reportable earnings. We also will have to periodically test our goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. If we determine that the value of the goodwill and/or the intangible assets have been impaired, we will be required to recognize substantial charges that would adversely affect our operating results. In addition, these acquisitions could involve significant non-recurring acquisition-related charges, such as the write-off or write-down of software development costs or other intangible items.

17



Our failure to retain key personnel may negatively affect our business.

        Our success depends on our ability to retain senior executives and other key employees who are critical to the continued advancement, development, and support of our products and services and ongoing sales and marketing efforts. The loss of any key personnel or any significant group of employees could negatively affect our future business and prospects. If our management does not succeed in their roles, or we are not able to effectively allocate management responsibilities and cause our officers and senior managers to operate effectively as a group, our business could be negatively affected.

        Employee morale and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees may also be adversely affected by the decline and substantial fluctuation in the market price of our common stock since its initial public offering, as many of our employees hold options with exercise prices far greater than our recent stock price.

Revenues from our professional services division are difficult to predict because they are derived from project-based engagements.

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we derived approximately 77% of our revenues from professional services. Almost all of these revenues were from project-based client engagements, which vary in size and scope. As a result, the revenues of our professional services division are difficult to predict because a client that accounts for a significant portion of these revenues in one period may not generate a similar amount of revenues, if any, in subsequent periods. In addition, because many of our professional services engagements involve sequential stages, each of which may represent a separate contractual commitment, a client may choose not to retain us for subsequent stages of an engagement or for new professional services projects.

If we cannot keep our billable professionals engaged on client projects, our future revenues could decline and our operating results could be adversely affected.

        Virtually all the client contracts of our professional services division allow the client to terminate our services on relatively short notice and do not guarantee us any specific or minimum amount of business from the client. To the extent that any significant clients decrease their use of our professional services, delay an engagement, or terminate their relationship with us, the revenues of our professional services division could decline substantially and our overall operating results could be adversely affected to the extent we are unable to quickly redeploy our billable professionals to other client engagements.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us could hurt our business and financial results.

        The market for our products and services is intensely competitive, fragmented, and subject to rapid change. We compete with a variety of companies that provide software services, professional services, and managed services independently or on an integrated basis. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us could hurt our business and financial results. Furthermore, many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories; significantly greater financial, technical, product development, and marketing resources; greater name recognition; and a larger customer base than we do.

If we do not expand our customer base, we may never become profitable and our stock price will likely decline.

        The market for many of our products and services is newly emerging. As a result, we cannot accurately estimate the potential demand for them. We believe that market acceptance of many of our products and services will depend principally on our ability to:

    timely develop or acquire products and services that meet changing customer needs;

18


    effectively market our products and services;

    hire, train, and retain a sufficient number of qualified sales and marketing personnel;

    provide high-quality and reliable customer support for our products;

    distribute and price our products and services in a manner that is more appealing to customers than that of our competitors;

    develop a favorable reputation among our customers, potential customers, and participants in the software industry; and

    withstand downturns in general economic conditions or conditions that would slow corporate spending on software products and professional services.

Our inability to accomplish any of the foregoing may limit our ability to expand our customer base. If our customer base does not expand, we may never become profitable and our stock price will likely decline.

Our success depends upon the market for Internet services, which, along with the general economy, is experiencing a downturn.

        During late 2000 and 2001, and particularly since September 11, 2001, the market for Internet services and technology experienced a significant decline. This decline is at least partly attributable to funding difficulties experienced by many companies, a general economic slowdown, and instability in the financial markets. These developments have caused many of our current and potential customers and clients to cancel, reduce, and/or delay some projects. A prolonged economic slowdown or continued uncertainty about the future of the market for Internet services also will adversely affect our business and financial results. If demand for our products and services does not improve, increased competition for business may result in significant decreases in the prices we charge for our products and services. The market for our products and services may not improve in a timely manner or to the extent necessary to allow us to achieve and sustain profitability or viability in the near future.

Our success will depend upon the ability of our products to work with a large variety of hardware, software, database, and networking systems.

        The success of our products will depend on the ability of our products to integrate and be compatible with customer systems, particularly hardware systems, operating systems, and data sources, as well as or better than competing products. The success of our products will also depend on the ability of our existing products to work well with one another, with new products we develop, and with new software developed by third parties. We currently serve, and intend to continue to serve, a customer base with a wide variety of hardware, software, database, and networking systems. If we cannot support an increasing number of systems in the future, we might not gain broad market acceptance.

Customers will be less likely to accept our products if we are unable to introduce in a timely manner new software products and enhancements that meet industry requirements.

        The market for our software products is subject to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions, and evolving industry standards that may render our existing products and services obsolete. As a result, unforeseen changes in customer and technological requirements for application features, functions, and technologies could limit our ability to develop market share or could rapidly erode our position in those markets in which we have an established presence. Our growth and future operating results will depend in part upon our ability to develop and introduce new applications that anticipate, meet, or exceed technological advances in the marketplace, meet changing customer requirements, respond to competitive products, and achieve market acceptance.

19


        New products, platforms, and language support typically require long development and testing periods. New products or enhancements may not be released according to schedule or may contain defects when released. Either situation could result in adverse publicity, loss of sales, delay in market acceptance of our products, or customer claims against us, any of which could harm our business. Our product acquisition, development, and testing efforts have required, and are expected to continue to require, substantial investments. We may not possess sufficient resources to make these necessary investments.

        We also expect to develop and introduce new and enhanced versions of products as an integrated suite. In addition to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the development and introduction of new products, we will face significant challenges in developing and introducing new products and versions that work together effectively and allow customers to achieve the benefits of a broader product offering. We may not be able to identify or overcome these challenges.

If we cannot cross-sell the products and services of our acquired companies to our other customers, we will not achieve one of the expected benefits of our acquisitions.

        After we acquire a company, we intend to offer the products and services of that company to our existing customers and the customers of our other acquired companies, and to offer our products to the existing customers of the acquired company. One company's customers may not have an interest in the other companies' products and services. If we fail to cross market our products and services, we will not achieve one of the expected benefits of our acquisitions, and this failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our business may be adversely affected if there are defects in our software or we are unable to acquire third-party software or hardware that is error-free.

        Software products as complex as those that we offer may contain errors that could occur at any point in a product's life cycle. We have, in the past, discovered software errors in certain of our products and have experienced delays in shipment or implementation of products or services during the period required to correct these errors. Despite extensive testing by us and by our current and potential customers, errors in our software may be found in the future. This could result in a loss of, or delay in, market acceptance and sales; diversion of development resources; injury to our reputation; or increased service and warranty cost. In particular, the call center environment is characterized by a wide variety of standard and non-standard configurations that make pre-release testing for programming or compatibility errors very difficult and time consuming and will limit our ability to uncover all defects prior to shipment and installation at a customer's location. We also license certain software used in our products from third parties, and our products are designed to operate on certain hardware platforms manufactured by third parties. Third-party software or hardware may contain errors that we depend upon others to correct. These errors could cause problems with the installation and operation of our products, which could harm our business.

We may face potential liability to customers if our servers, systems, or products, or our customers' systems, fail.

        Our software, portal, and applications products and managed and professional services are often critical to the operation of our customers' businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. If one of our servers, systems, or products, or a customer's system, fails, the customer could make a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for that failure. The limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be enforceable in all instances and may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. Our insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims. In addition, the insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. If we experience one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage or result in changes in our insurance policies,

20



including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, our business and financial results could be hurt.

We could lose our competitive advantage if we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, and any related litigation could be costly and time consuming.

        We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights in our products and technology. These measures may not be adequate to protect our trade secrets and proprietary technology. As a result, unauthorized third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. We may not be able to detect all instances of infringement. Furthermore, we may be subject to additional risks as we enter into transactions in countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are poorly enforced. Legal protection of our rights may be ineffective in these countries. If we must engage in litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, either domestically or in other countries, we could face substantial costs and diversion of resources, regardless of the outcome of that litigation. Any future attempt by us to enforce our intellectual property rights might not be successful, might result in royalties that are less than the cost of such enforcement efforts, or might result in the loss of the intellectual property altogether. Even if we succeed in protecting our intellectual property, others may independently develop similar technologies or products that do not infringe on our intellectual property.

Other companies may claim that our products infringe their intellectual property rights, which could harm our business.

        Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights. We expect that the risk of infringement claims will rise as the number of products and competitors in our industry grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. To develop our services and products, we may need to acquire licenses for intellectual property to avoid infringement of a third party's product. These licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Former employers of our present and future employees may assert claims that these employees improperly disclosed confidential or proprietary information to us. Any such claims could be time-consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, cause product shipment delays, or require us to pay money damages or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of product infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to prevent online security breaches, which could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and expose us to liability.

        A party that is able to circumvent our security systems or the security systems of our customers could steal proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. Security breaches also could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. Our insurance policies have coverage limits and exclusions that may prevent reimbursement for losses caused by security breaches. Furthermore, our servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions. We may need to expend significant additional capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breaches. Despite these efforts, we may not be able to prevent all security breaches.

21



Restrictions relating to the privacy of Internet users and the collection and use of online data could limit the utility of the personalization functionality of our products and, therefore, the attractiveness of those products to customers.

        One of the principal features of the products of eshare communications, Inc., Open Market, Inc., Eprise Corporation, and Data Return Corporation, each of which we recently acquired, and Delano Technology Corporation, which we recently agreed to acquire, is the ability to develop and maintain profiles of online users to assist business managers in personalizing content and in displaying tailored commercial offers to specific online users. By limiting the ways that this feature can be used, proposed and existing legal restrictions on the collection and use of information relating to Internet users could materially and adversely impact eshare's, Open Market's, Eprise's, Data Return's, and Delano's products. For example, legislation has been proposed in some jurisdictions that would regulate the practice of placing small information files, or "cookies," on a user's hard drive to gather information. Likewise, regulation of the practice of online preference marketing is also under consideration in many jurisdictions. Moreover, legislation regulating online and offline data collection is already in place in the United States and elsewhere, including the European Union. Although regulatory and legislative efforts in this area are relatively new and still developing, they continue to gain attention, and continued regulation and legislation in this area could adversely affect the demand for eshare's, Open Market's, Eprise's, Data Return's, and Delano's products.

Our key personnel have entered into non-compete agreements that could prevent us from engaging in certain activities and acquiring interests in some companies.

        Andrew J. Filipowski, our chairman and chief executive officer; Michael P. Cullinane, our executive vice president, chief financial officer, and treasurer and a director; and Paul L. Humenansky, our president and chief operating officer and a director, have entered into consulting and non-compete agreements with PLATINUM technology International, inc., now a wholly owned subsidiary of Computer Associates International, Inc. These agreements prohibit Mr. Filipowski until June 29, 2007, and each of Messrs. Cullinane and Humenansky until June 29, 2004, from participating or engaging, directly or indirectly, in the development, manufacture, marketing, or distribution of any products or services offered by PLATINUM as of March 29, 1999, or any products or services offered by PLATINUM after that date in the development of which they had actively participated. PLATINUM was, as of March 29, 1999, and continues to be, engaged in the business of developing, marketing, and supporting software products for managing information technology infrastructures and providing related professional services. As of March 29, 1999, PLATINUM also offered products and services for the creation, deployment, and management of Web content. Under these agreements, Messrs. Filipowski, Cullinane, and Humenansky also are prohibited from soliciting, or assisting another person to solicit or attempt to solicit, persons or entities that were current customers of PLATINUM or its affiliates before the end of the respective consulting periods of Messrs. Filipowski, Cullinane, and Humenansky, unless the solicitation of these customers is for goods or services unrelated to any activity that competes with PLATINUM.

        To manage divine's business effectively in light of these agreements, divine has consulted with PLATINUM and Computer Associates before making any acquisition to confirm that a breach of these agreements would not result. These consulting and non-compete agreements could limit our business opportunities, which could impair our success.

Delays in sales and the implementation cycle for CIM solutions and managed applications could adversely affect us.

        If we experience delays in, or cancellations of, sales or implementations of CIM solutions and managed applications, our business and financial results could be hurt. To sell these products, we generally must provide a significant level of education to prospective customers regarding their use and benefits. In addition, prospective customers generally make a significant commitment of resources in

22



connection with the implementation of these products. For these and other reasons, the length of time between the date of initial contact with the potential customer and the installation and use of these solutions has generally been six months or more. Our implementation cycle could be lengthened in the future by delays over which we have little or no control, increases in the size and complexity of our installations, and the number of third-party systems with which our products must be integrated. In addition, any unexpected delays in individual implementations could generate negative publicity and expose us to liability claims from our customers.

Our strategy to expand our international operations is subject to many unique risks that may prevent us from maintaining or increasing our international revenues.

        A significant element of our business strategy is to expand our operations in international markets. For example, we expect our recent acquisitions of RoweCom, Open Market, eshare, and marchFIRST GmbH to significantly increase our international presence, as each of these companies generates a significant amount of its revenues outside the United States. This projected expansion will require significant management attention and financial resources. Because of the difficulty in penetrating new markets, we may not be able to maintain or increase international revenues. Our international operations are subject to a number of inherent risks, which will increase as the international operations expand, including:

    significant volatility in the level and timing of business;

    the impact of possible recessionary environments in economies outside the United States;

    changes in foreign legal and regulatory requirements;

    changes in tariffs;

    the costs of localizing products for foreign markets and integrating products with foreign system components;

    longer accounts receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;

    difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;

    reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;

    potentially adverse tax consequences;

    political and economic instability; and

    the higher cost of foreign service delivery.

        Although expenses incurred in foreign countries typically have been denominated in the local currencies, revenues generated by international sales typically have been paid in U.S. dollars, British pounds, or Euros. We could experience fluctuations in currency exchange rates in the future that would have a material adverse impact on our international operations.

        Our growth in operations will likely depend upon the successful development of direct and indirect sales channels.

        Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will greatly depend on our ability to recruit and train sufficient technical and direct sales personnel and to outsource effectively our customer-support functions. We also believe that our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to develop and maintain indirect sales channels, including VARs and distributors. Additionally, our investment of significant resources to develop these indirect sales channels could adversely affect our operating results if they do not generate sufficient additional revenues.

23



        If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified VARs and distributors, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Increased indirect sales also could adversely affect our average selling prices and result in lower gross margins because lower unit prices typically are charged on sales made through indirect channels. Sales of products through indirect channels will reduce our gross profits from our services because VARs and distributors provide these services.

        As indirect sales increase, our direct contact with our customer base will decrease, and we may have more difficulty accurately forecasting sales, evaluating customer satisfaction, and recognizing emerging customer requirements. In addition, VARs and distributors may develop, acquire, or market products competitive with our products. Our strategy of marketing products directly to customers and indirectly through VARs and distributors may result in distribution channel conflicts. Our direct sales efforts may compete with those of our indirect channels and, to the extent different VARs and distributors target the same customers, VARs and distributors may also come into conflict with each other. Any channel conflicts that develop may have a material adverse effect on our relationships with VARs and distributors or hurt our ability to attract new VARs and distributors.

The market price of our common stock may continue to be volatile, which could cause litigation against us and prevent our stockholders from reselling their shares at or above the prices at which they acquired them.

        From our initial public offering in July 2000 through the date of this report, the price per share of our common stock has ranged from a high of $12.44 to a low of $0.42. The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

    quarterly variations in operating results;

    volatility in the stock market;

    volatility in the general economy, including as a result of any additional terrorist attacks or responses to terrorist attacks;

    changes in interest rates;

    announcements of acquisitions, technological innovations, or new software, services, or products by us or our competitors; and

    changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts.

        In addition, there have been large fluctuations in the prices and trading volumes of securities of many technology, Internet, CRM, and CIM product and related professional-service companies. Broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our common stock. As a result, our stockholders may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock at or above the prices at which they were acquired. In the past, volatility in the market price of a company's securities has often led to securities class action litigation. This litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our attention and resources, which could harm our business. Declines in the market price of our common stock or failure of the market price to increase could also harm our ability to retain key employees, our access to capital, and other aspects of our business, which also could harm our business.

24



Our stockholder rights plan and provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws, and Delaware law could delay or deter tender offers or takeover attempts that may offer our stockholders a premium for their common stock.

        Our stockholder rights plan and provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws, and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if that transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders. These impediments include:

    the rights issued in connection with the stockholder rights plan that will substantially dilute the ownership of any person or group that acquires 15% or more of our common stock unless the rights are first cancelled or redeemed by our board of directors, in its discretion;

    the classification of our board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms;

    the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock with rights as it deems appropriate without stockholder approval;

    a requirement that special meetings of our board of directors may be called only by our chairman, president, or a majority of our board of directors;

    a prohibition against action by written consent of our stockholders;

    a requirement that our stockholders comply with advance-notice provisions to bring director nominations or other matters before meetings of our stockholders; and

    the adoption of a provision of Delaware law that prohibits us from entering into some business combinations with interested stockholders without the approval of our board of directors.

        The existence of the stockholder rights plan and these provisions may deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing prices. The potential inability of our stockholders to obtain a control premium could adversely affect the market price for our common stock.


ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

        Our corporate headquarters and principal operating facilities are currently located in approximately 126,000 square feet of leased space at 1301 N. Elston Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, which is rented under a lease with 8 years remaining. We also have administrative and other offices in approximately 76,000 square feet of office space in Lisle, Illinois, which is rented under a lease with nine years remaining, and an office for our professional services group in approximately 50,000 square feet of office space in Chicago, Illinois, which is rented under a lease with nine years remaining.

        We also have a number of other substantial offices that we have assumed in connection with our various business acquisitions. These offices include:

    approximately 120,000 square feet of office space in Burlington, Massachusetts, which is the former headquarters of Open Market, Inc. and is rented under a lease with eight years remaining;

    approximately 100,000 square feet of office space in Irving, Texas, which is the former headquarters of Data Return Corporation and is rented under a lease with approximately 65,000 square feet with one year remaining and approximately 35,000 square feet with four years remaining;

25


    approximately 100,000 square feet of office space in Norcross, Georgia, which is the former headquarters of eshare communications, Inc. and is rented under a lease with four years remaining; and

    approximately 78,000 square feet of office space in Framingham, Massachusetts, which is the former headquarters of Eprise Corporation and is rented under a lease with nine years remaining.

        We are also leasing space for operational, professional services group, sales, and support centers located throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

        Our offices are sufficient to meet our present needs, and we do not anticipate any difficulty in securing additional office space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us. We are also attempting to sublease or terminate various of the leases for offices of the businesses that we acquired as we consolidate and integrate our acquired business operations, eliminate redundancies, and reduce our workforce.


ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        We are a party to various claims and litigation that involve routine matters incidental to the operation of our business. In addition, we are a party to the following legal proceedings.

    El Universal On Line de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. v. Open Market, Inc.

        On September 14, 2001, Open Market, Inc., which we acquired on October 19, 2001, was served with a complaint filed on behalf of El Universal On Line de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. in the Middlesex County Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain Open Market software purchased by El Universal through a representative of Open Market did not perform as warranted or represented, that Open Market breached implied warranties on international sale of goods, and that it fraudulently induced El Universal to purchase the software. El Universal is claiming damages, including consequential damages for, among other things, loss of business, of approximately $5,000,000. We filed a motion to dismiss the case in October 2001. We are in the early stages of the litigation. We intend to defend the case vigorously.

    In re Open Market, Inc. Securities Litigation

        Six putative class actions were filed between June 14, 2000 and August 10, 2000, against Open Market and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. These actions, each filed on behalf of an alleged class of Open Market stockholders who purchased Open Market common stock between November 18, 1999 and April 18, 2000, allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In particular, they allege, among other things, that during the putative class period, the defendants sought to mislead the investing public by overstating Open Market's prospects and the quality of its products. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and other appropriate relief. On January 25, 2001, the court entered an order consolidating these actions into one action. This consolidated case is captioned: In re: Open Market Securities Litigation, C.A. No. 00-CV-11162. On April 13, 2001, the plaintiffs filed their consolidated class action complaint. On May 29, 2001, Open Market filed a motion seeking dismissal of all counts of the consolidated complaint. On August 3, 2001, the plaintiffs' filed their motion in opposition to the defendants' motion to dismiss. On September 7, 2001, the defendants filed their reply to the plaintiffs' opposition motion. On November 20, 2001, the court heard oral argument on the defendants' motion to dismiss. We are in the early stages of the litigation, but we believe Open Market and the other defendants have meritorious defenses against this suit. If the court denies the motion to dismiss, we intend to defend the case vigorously.

26


    International Marketing Corporation (IMC) v. Melita International Corporation (eshare communications, Inc.)

        IMC is a former customer of eshare communications, Inc., which we acquired on October 23, 2001. IMC purchased, from eshare, software and maintenance on a PhoneFrame network obtained from AT&T. In May 1999, IMC filed suit in Ontario, Canada against eshare and AT&T. This lawsuit alleges breach of contract, negligence, misrepresentation, and/or conspiracy, and claims damages of $10,000,000. Notwithstanding this claim, IMC recently offered to settle the case for $250,000. eshare declined the settlement offer, and discovery is scheduled to begin in the near future. We are in the early stages of the litigation, and intend to defend the case vigorously.

    Rifkin et al v. RoweCom

        On February 22, 2001, RoweCom Inc., which we acquired on November 6, 2001, was served with a lawsuit brought by two former employees and shareholders of RoweCom, David Rifkin and Julie Beckerman. In that case, the plaintiffs alleged that RoweCom had breached its employment agreements with the plaintiffs, resulting in constructive termination of their employment with RoweCom. In addition, the plaintiffs alleged that RoweCom failed to register certain securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission, causing the plaintiffs to be unable to sell their RoweCom stock at an advantageous price. The lawsuit seeks damages of $1,400,000. We are in the early stages of the litigation. RoweCom believes that the lawsuit is without merit and we intend to defend the case vigorously.

    In re RoweCom & Data Return Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation

        RoweCom and Data Return are each one of numerous companies that have been named as defendants by purchasers of securities in public offerings in certain purported class actions brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, In re: Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), On behalf of Plaintiff, et al. v. RoweCom Inc., et al., and On behalf of Plaintiff, et al. v. Data Return Corp., et al. The complaints also name one or more of each company's underwriters and certain officers and directors of each company in their respective initial public offerings. The complaints allege violations of the federal securities laws regarding statements in each company's initial public offering registration statement and prospectus concerning the underwriters' activities in connection with the underwriting of each company's common shares to the public. The actions seek rescission of the plaintiff's alleged purchases of common shares and other damages and costs associated with the litigation. Various plaintiffs have filed similar actions asserting virtually identical allegations against more than 100 other companies.

        We are in the early stages of this litigation, believe that we have meritorious defenses to these lawsuits, and will vigorously defend them.

    CyberGuard Corporation v. Data Return Corporation

        On November 2, 2001, CyberGuard Corporation filed a lawsuit against Data Return in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida alleging Data Return breached a Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by discontinuing the purchase of certain hardware and software firewalls. CyberGuard is seeking, among other remedies, damages of approximately $4,200,000. Data Return has responded that the firewalls never functioned properly and that it was not obligated to purchase malfunctioning equipment. We have denied all of CyberGuard's allegations and have moved to dismiss the complaint. We intend to defend the case vigorously.

27


    Electro Rent Corp. v. divine, inc.

        Electro Rent Corp filed suit against divine, inc. alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment and conversion in connection with certain leased equipment. Electro Rent is seeking, among other remedies, approximately $1,200,000. divine has recently answered the complaint. We intend to defend the case vigorously.

    Aero Fulfillment Services, Inc. v. Oracle Corporation. and divine/Whitman-Hart, inc.

        On December 1, 2001, Aero Fulfillment Services, Inc. ("Aero") filed suit against Oracle Corporation and divine/Whitman-Hart, Inc ("dWH") alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment/restitution, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty by dWH. Aero is seeking in excess of $1,500,000 in damages from dWH. dWH believes that these claims are without merit as the conduct at issue occurred prior to dWH's acquisition of certain of the assets of marchFIRST, Inc. and dWH did not assume responsibility for the liability attendant to such conduct.

        Aero has yet to effect service of process on dWH in this action. Representatives of Aero and dWH are currently engaged in settlement discussions, though no settlement has been reached. If a settlement cannot be reached and Aero effects service of process on dWH, we intend to vigorously defend this action.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

        We provide extended enterprise solutions for our base of over 20,000 customers. We offer Web-based software and technology that allows the critical business units and functional areas of our clients to operate in a more cohesive manner. We also offer the services necessary to deploy these software solutions and to integrate them with existing software and technical systems. Our product and service offerings allow us to provide a comprehensive solution for our clients. Additionally, we offer our customers a single point of accountability as our solutions extend across the enterprise. Our extended enterprise solution is comprised of the following key components:

    divine Professional Services combines our knowledge of how to design and deploy software solutions with our expertise in technology, infrastructure, and marketing services and offers services for legacy systems integration, brand extension, call center automation, business process optimization, operational strategy consulting, SAP installation, supply chain and customer management, and technology infrastructure consulting.

    divine Software Services deploys software solutions that focus on collaboration, workflow, and relationship and content management such as voice-based customer contact tools, auto-response applications, telephony webinars (Web-based seminars), secured messaging, team interaction, content acquisition, organization and management, content delivery, and training programs.

    divine Managed Services builds, hosts, manages, monitors, and secures clients' critical applications by offering design and engineering of managed hosting solutions; installation, configuration, and testing of hardware and software systems; ongoing maintenance, back-ups, and upgrades; performance and security monitoring; and technical support.

        We focus on Global 5000 and high-growth middle market firms, government agencies, and educational institutions. We expect that our revenues in future periods will be generated principally through our extended enterprise solutions.

        We began operations as divine interVentures, inc. on June 30, 1999, engaging in business-to-business e-commerce through a community of associated companies in which we invested. In 1999 and 2000, we acquired interests in 40 associated companies, established a total of 13 associated companies when we identified opportunities consistent with our former business strategy, and also further developed our operational procedures and capabilities.

        In February 2001, we announced our strategy to primarily focus on enterprise Web solutions and changed our name to divine, inc. Since that time, we have not reflected separately our interests in associated companies that provide solutions for the extended enterprise. Instead, the operations of these businesses are considered a part of our core business strategy. Our remaining associated companies, offering software and services focused on e-commerce and vertical markets, were included in our divine interVentures segment. As of December 31, 2001, we have completely written off our investments in the associated companies in our divine interVentures portfolio, other than amounts included in available-for-sale securities. We do not expect to invest additional funds into these companies in future periods.

        Through integrating the products and services of acquired companies into our infrastructure, we extend a broader array of offerings and delivers greater value to all our constituencies. We introduce combined product suites to gain financial and market leverage from incremental revenue and operational efficiencies of integration.

31



        Since January 2001, we have completed numerous acquisitions, including:

    March 2001, SageMaker—an enterprise information portal solutions company. This acquisition brings a key component to our existing enterprise information portal solution.

    November 2001, RoweCom, Inc.—a global provider of high-quality service and e-commerce solutions for purchasing and managing print and e-content knowledge resources.

    December 2001, Eprise Corporation—a supplier of content management solutions. This acquisition broadens our content management solution offerings, and positions us as one of the first companies to address the entire spectrum of content management and delivery needs. Eprise Participant Server's industry-leading capabilities for putting content contribution and management in the hands of business users, as well as its ease of implementation and

32


      deployment, extend our ability to supply content management solutions that fit any corporate need.

    December 2001, SoftMetric Inc.—a provider of telephone call center management software.

    January 2002, Data Return Corporation—a provider of advanced managed hosting services based on Microsoft technologies. Data Return provides these services to businesses seeking to outsource the deployment, maintenance, and support of their complex Web sites. Its services include providing, configuring, operating, and maintaining the hardware, software, and network technologies necessary to implement and support these Web sites.

Effect of Various Accounting Methods on the Consolidated Financial Statements

        As previously discussed, we have held ownership interests in many associated companies since our inception. Under our new strategic focus, our acquisitions are almost exclusively acquisitions of 100% of the stock of certain companies that fit our operating strategy. The following discussion regarding the principles of consolidations is meant to explain how we accounted for investments in associated companies focused on e-business and vertical markets, which accounted for the majority of our consolidated operations in 1999 and 2000. These companies were considered part of our divine interVentures portfolio throughout 2001. The significance of the operations of these associated companies on our consolidated operations decreased throughout 2001, and as of December 31, 2001, we had completely written off our investments in the associated companies in our divine interVentures portfolio, other than amounts included in available-for-sale securities.

    Consolidation

        Associated companies in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding voting power are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. Under this method, an associated company's results of operations are reflected within our consolidated statement of operations. Earnings or losses attributable to other stockholders of a consolidated associated company are identified as "minority interest" in our consolidated statement of operations. Minority interest adjusts our consolidated net results of operations to reflect only our share of the earnings or losses of a

33


consolidated associated company. As of December 31, 2001, we did not reflect any minority interest liability on our consolidated balance sheet. The results of operations of our consolidated associated companies are reflected in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date of the related company.

    Equity Method

        Associated companies in which we own 50% or less of the outstanding voting power, but over which we exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not we exercise significant influence with respect to an associated company depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among other things, representation on the associated company's board of directors, ownership percentage, and voting rights associated with our holdings in the associated company. Under the equity method of accounting, an associated company's results of operations are not reflected within our consolidated operating results. However, our share of the earnings or losses of that associated company is identified as "equity in losses of associated companies" in our consolidated statement of operations.

        The net effect of an associated company's results of operations on our results of operations is generally the same under either the consolidation method of accounting or the equity method of accounting, because, under each of these methods, only our share of the earnings or losses of an associated company is reflected in the net loss in our consolidated statement of operations. However, the presentation of the consolidation method differs dramatically from the equity method of accounting. The consolidation method presents associated company results in the applicable line items within our consolidated financial statements. In contrast, the equity method of accounting presents associated company results in a single category, "equity in losses of associated companies" within our consolidated statement of operations.

    Cost Method

        Associated companies not accounted for under either the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, our share of the earnings and losses of these companies is not included in our consolidated statements of operations unless earnings or losses are distributed.

        We record our ownership interest in equity securities of our associated companies accounted for under the cost method at the lesser of cost or fair value. Those cost method associated companies that have readily determinable fair values based on quoted market prices are classified in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

Deconsolidation

        In October 2000, Oilspot.com, Inc. ("Oilspot") repurchased an amount of its shares from us that reduced our ownership in Oilspot from 55.6% to 28.5%. As part of this transaction, the $1,500,000 note payable by us to Oilspot, and the related interest due, was cancelled. Immediately following that repurchase, we exchanged our remaining ownership interest in Oilspot for an ownership interest of 3.0% in FuelQuest, Inc. in connection with the acquisition of Oilspot by FuelQuest. Beginning in October 2000, we accounted for our investment in FuelQuest on the cost basis.

        In January 2001, we restructured our ownership interest in i-Street, Inc. (i-Street), such that our voting ownership in i-Street was reduced from 63.8% to 25.1%. Beginning in January 2001, we accounted for our interest in i-Street under the equity method.

Results of Operations

        We were formed in May 1999. The discussion below regarding our results of operations includes comparisons between the year ended December 31, 2001, the year ended December 31, 2000, and the period from May 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 1999 (period ended December 31, 1999). However, as of December 31, 1999, our business was in the very early stage and consisted mainly of a relatively small number of equity interests in business-to-business internet companies (associated companies). Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2000, our operations were derived almost exclusively from our ownership interests in these associated companies, many of which were in the early stages of devlopment. Throughout 2001, as we have acquired companies that fit into our strategy of providing extended enterprise solutions, these associated companies have accounted for a continuously decreasing portion of our operations. The changes in our core business since our inception significantly affect the comparability of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, the year ended December 31, 2000, and the period ended December 31, 1999, so as to make such a comparison almost meaningless.

    Year Ended December 31, 2001 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2000

    General

        Beginning in the first quarter of 2001, we segregated our operations into two operating segments. Our software, services, and hosting segment encompasses the operations surrounding our core strategy of delivering extended enterprise solutions. Our divine interVentures segment encompasses the operations of our remaining portfolio of associated companies, focusing primarily on e-commerce and vertical markets. Our operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 were considerably different than our operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. This is because, beginning in 2001, we changed our business strategy from being an Internet holding company actively engaged in business-to-business e-commerce through our community of associated companies to becoming a leader in Web-based solutions for the extended enterprise. Our operations during this period were significantly affected by our acquisitions in 2001, which have provided us with a larger customer base and an increased revenue stream. During the year ended December 31, 2000, our operations resulted primarily from our consolidated associated companies in the business-to-business e-commerce sector, many of which were in the early stages of development and generated significant losses with comparably low revenue. All of these consolidated associated companies have discontinued operations, have been sold, or are now included as part of our core business strategy. Additionally, we held investment interests in eight associated companies accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of December 31, 2001 which carried no book value on our consolidated balance sheet as of that date. Conversely, we held investment interests in 15 associated companies accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2000 that carried approximately $57,000,000 of book value on our consolidated balance sheet as of that date. This decrease in equity-method associated companies has led to decreases in our equity in losses of associated companies.

    Revenues

        We generated revenues totaling $199,598,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, which is an increase of $155,519,000 over revenues of $44,079,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 included $46,224,000 from the sale of products, all of which was generated by our software, services, and hosting segment. Product revenues included $26,567,000 from software sales contracts, $8,020,000 from sales of computer hardware, and $8,702,000 from sales of content. Revenues generated from sales of content, as well as $20,303,000 of the revenues generated from software sales contracts, was generated in the fourth quarter of 2001. The increase in these revenues in the fourth quarter reflects the impact on our revenues of significant acquisitions during the quarter, namely RoweCom (content) and eshare, Open Market, and Eprise (software sales

35


contracts). The total revenues also included $153,374,000 from the sale of services, generated almost exclusively by our software, services and hosting segment, which included $137,554,000 from the operations of divine/Whittman-Hart, $7,042,000 from managed services, and $3,712,000 from software implementation services. At December 31, 2001, we had deferred revenue of $303,663,000, of which $269,316,000 related to sales of content. This deferred revenue will result in a significant increase in our revenues recognized during 2002.

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, we generated revenues of $44,079,000. The total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 included $5,316,000 from the sale of products, including $2,267,000 related to on-line sales of retail goods and $2,787,000 related to software sales contracts. The total revenues also included $38,763,000 from the sale of services, including $9,646,000 from web design services, $6,396,000 from marketing and public relations services, $4,524,000 from software maintenance contracts, $4,446,000 from Web-based advertising, $3,492,000 from facilities management, $2,388,000 from hosting services, and $2,296,000 from inventory management services. Revenues of $8,605,000 were generated from transactions with our equity method associated companies for the year ended December 31, 2000.

    Cost of Revenues

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, our cost of revenues were $179,853,000, exclusive of $740,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation. This is an increase of $139,642,000 over the $40,211,000 (exclusive of $1,274,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation) cost of revenues we incurred for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 included $155,963,000 of direct costs of providing services, which consisted principally of $138,735,000 of salaries and benefits, $3,685,000 of rent and facilities services,$5,646,000 of travel costs, and $5,199,000 of office and computer supplies expense. Cost of revenues for 2001 also included $23,890,000 of direct costs of providing products. Of the direct costs of providing products, $19,106,000 was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2001. The increase in these costs in the fourth quarter reflects the impact on our cost of revenues of significant acquisitions during the quarter, namely RoweCom, eshare, Open Market, and Eprise. At December 31, 2001, we had deferred publisher costs of $238,522,000 related to sales of content. These deferred costs will result in a significant increase in our cost of revenues recognized during 2002.

        Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 included $35,941,000 of direct costs of providing services, consisting primarily of salaries and benefits, professional services, rent and facilities services, supplies expenses, and marketing expenses. Cost of revenues for 2000 also included $4,270,000 of direct costs of providing products.

    Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred selling, general, and administrative expenses of $176,649,000, exclusive of $8,613,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation. This represents an increase of $26,205,000 over the $150,444,000 (exclusive of $46,367,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation) of selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000. These expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 consisted primarily of $93,887,000 of employee benefits and related compensation, $12,143,000 of travel costs, $20,064,000 of facility costs, consisting primarily of rent expense, $12,120,000 of fees for professional services, including legal, consulting, and accounting, and $11,268,000 of depreciation expense.

        Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 consisted primarily of $73,606,000 of employee benefits and related compensation, $16,289,000 of marketing costs, $12,000,000 of travel costs, $9,820,000 of facility costs, consisting primarily of rent expense, and $9,752,000 of fees for professional services, including legal, consulting, and accounting.

36



    Research and Development Expenses

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred research and development expenses of $37,004,000 exclusive of $314,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation. This represents an increase of $24,968,000 over the $12,036,000 (exclusive of $428,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation) of research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000. These expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 consisted primarily of $27,636,000 of employee benefits and related compensation, $2,833,000 of professional fees, and $2,486,000 of facility costs. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 consisted primarily of $5,792,000 of employee benefits and related compensation, $2,677,000 of professional fees, and $1,779,000 of marketing expenses.

    Bad Debt Expense

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded bad debt expense of $23,379,000. This represents an increase of $17,193,000 over the $6,186,000 of bad debt expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2000. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 related mainly to accounts receivable of the publicly traded companies acquired by us in the fourth quarter of 2001, as well as uncollectible accounts receivable of divine/Whittman-Hart.

    Amortization of Intangible Assets

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred amortization expense of $16,091,000 on our goodwill and other intangible assets. This represents a decrease of $4,997,000 from the $21,088,000 of amortization expense recorded by us for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is mainly due to the fact that our goodwill and other intangible assets were significantly reduced in the last half of 2000 because of impairment charges.

    Acquired Technology—In-process Research and Development

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded in-process research and development charges of $13,741,000. Acquired in-process technology charges relate to acquisitions in which a portion of the purchase price was allocated to acquired in-process technology and expensed immediately because the technology acquired had not reached technological feasibility based on the status of design and development activities. No such charges were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2000.

    Impairment of Intangible and Other Assets

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded impairment charges of $37,864,000 related to intangible and other assets. This represents a decrease of $19,762,000 from the $57,626,000 of similar impairment charges recorded for the year ended December 31, 2001. These charges included, but were not limited to, write-offs of our goodwill and other intangible assets associated with our acquisitions of SageMaker and DataBites, and our acquisition of certain assets of marchFIRST. Also included in these impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2001 was our write-off of notes receivable from certain of our employees related to the exercise of stock options and costs associated with an agreement to shut down the operations of Emicom.

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded impairment charges of $57,626,000 for other than temporary declines in the carrying value of certain consolidated associated companies. These charges included, but were not limited to, write-offs of our investments in BeautyJungle, Brandango, and OfficePlanIt, each of which have ceased all meaningful operations.

37



    Impairment of Prepaid Co-location and Bandwidth Services

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded impairment charges of $25,000,000 on prepaid co-location and bandwidth services. This prepaid asset was originally recorded when we entered into an agreement with Level 3 Communications for the purchase of a minimum of $100,000,000 of co-location and bandwidth services over a four-year period. Of this amount, $25,000,000 would have been credited to us as consideration for Level 3's purchase of our common shares in a private placement concurrent with our IPO in July 2000. In August 2001, we agreed to repurchase the 5,555,555 shares of our Class A common stock owned by Level 3 in exchange for $5,555,555 and warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share. We also agreed to cancel our agreement relating to the purchase of $100,000,000 of co-location and bandwidth services and to eliminate our prepaid credit of $25,000,000.

    Impairment of Facilities

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded impairment charges of $12,022,000 related mainly to certain operating leases of divine/Whittman-Hart. These charges consisted of the net value of future cash payments to honor operating leases on facilities that we are no longer utilizing. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded an impairment charge of $10,961,000, including declines in the carrying value of property owned by us, improvements made to properties that we no longer consider recoverable and charges related to certain of our operating leases, consisting mainly of the net value of future cash payments to honor operating leases on facilities that we are no longer utilizing.

    Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred a non-cash expense of $10,200,000 related to the issuance, prior to our initial public offering (IPO), of shares of restricted stock and grants of options to employees, directors, and consultants under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan with exercise prices lower than the fair value of the class A common stock on the dates of grant. We also incurred a one-time charge of $132,000 related to the issuance of options to members of our advisory committee. Also for the year ended December 31, 2001, we recovered $665,000 of previously recognized compensation expense related to non-vested options of terminated employees, and we repurchased a total of 99,362 shares of restricted class A common stock that were previously owned by terminated employees.

        During September 2000, we reduced the exercise price of options granted, and restricted stock purchased, under our stock incentive plan prior to our IPO to $9.00 being the IPO price of our class A common stock, if the exercise price of such options or the purchase price of such restricted shares was greater than the IPO price, and if the holder agreed to the change. We also repurchased during September 2000, 3,820,735 shares of restricted class A common stock, issued upon exercise of options granted under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, at the respective exercise prices, which ranged from $4.50 to $9.00. Any consideration in excess of the exercise price, as adjusted, was refunded to these holders. As a result of the downward repricing of restricted shares and options, we recorded a one-time stock-based compensation charge of $3,209,000. Each of the holders of the repurchased restricted stock received a replacement option grant for the same number of shares with an exercise price of $9.00 per share. All of these replacement options are exercisable and vest as to 25% of the options on the first anniversary of the original option grant, and thereafter in equal monthly installments over the next three years. For those replacement options repriced downward, we will recognize stock-based compensation expense for any amount by which the fair value of our class A common stock exceeds $9.00 per share during the remaining vesting period. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we repurchased an additional 613,774 shares of restricted class A common stock from terminated employees.

38



        From January 1, 2000 through September 21, 2000, we incurred an additional non-cash expense of $5,896,000 related to our issuance to our employees of shares of common stock of our majority-owned associated companies that we established. Effective September 22, 2000, we repurchased these minority interests from our employees. These repurchases were made at the initial investment cost plus 8% for our executive officers and at two times the initial investment cost for the other employees that owned those shares. The aggregate purchase price for all of these shares was $93,000. As a result of these repurchases, we accelerated our recognition of the remaining $18,330,000 of stock-based compensation related to these shares.

    Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $8,932,000 and was earned from the investment of our available cash balances. This is a decrease of $6,651,000 from the $15,583,000 of interest income earned during the year ended December 31, 2000. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $3,681,000 and was incurred primarily from our long-term debt. This is an increase of $1,824,000 over the $1,857,000 of interest expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2000, which was incurred primarily from notes payable to associated companies.

    Other Expense, Net

        Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $4,135,000. This is an increase of $3,834,000 over the $301,000 of other expense for the year ended December 31, 2000. Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2001 consisted primarily of other than temporary declines in fair value of $14,711,000 and $4,181,000 in our available-for-sale investments in CMGI, and 360networks, respectively, offset by the sale of our investments in Farms.com, Ltd. and Sequoia Software Corporation, which resulted in realized gains of $7,225,000 and $6,611,000, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a gain on disposal of assets of $367,000 and other net gains of $554,000.

    Income Taxes

        We recorded no income tax provision or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Because we have no history of taxable income through December 31, 2001, the tax benefit associated with our net losses has been fully reserved. As of December 31, 2001 we had total net operating loss carryforwards of $116,546,000, of which $27,608,000 may be utilized by us to reduce future consolidated taxable income, if any. Of the total net operating loss carryforwards, $43,235,000 are attributable to majority-owned subsidiaries not includible in our consolidated tax group. Although each majority-owned subsidiary excluded from our consolidated tax group may utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to reduce separate future income taxes, if any, such carryforwards may not offset our consolidated taxable income, if any. Of the total net operating loss carryforwards, $45,703,000 relate to pre-acquisition net operating losses attributable to acquired companies. Our ability to utilize such pre-acquisition losses is substantially limited by current tax laws. In addition, our utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of prior ownership changes. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2019 through 2021.

        In assessing whether or not the deferred tax assets will be realized, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based upon our historical net operating losses and projections for future tax losses, we believe it is more likely than not that we will not realize the deferred tax assets. Thus, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2001.

39


    Minority Interest

        Minority interest of approximately $4,270,000 and $18,169,000 represents the non-controlling stockholders' share of our consolidated associated companies' net losses for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

    Net Gain on Stock Transactions of Associated Companies

        Net gain on stock transactions of associated companies of $667,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 relates to the net increase in the value of our investments in associated companies resulting from the issuance of stock by these companies to outside investors at prices higher than the value at which we have carried these investments and other stock transactions of these associated companies. The net gain for the year ended December 31, 2001 was attributable to issuances of stock by Outtask, which accounted for $199,000, and other associated companies, which accounted for $468,000. Net gain on stock transactions of associated companies of $4,375,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 was attributed mainly to issuances of stock by Launchworks, which accounted for $4,430,000 and closerlook, which accounted for $847,000. The gain was reduced by a loss of $1,011,000 resulting from the redemption of shares by Mercantec.

    Equity in Losses of Associated Companies

        Equity in losses of associated companies resulted from our minority ownership interests we account for, or accounted for, under the equity method. Equity in losses of associated companies includes our proportionate share of equity method associated companies' losses, which totaled $13,317,000 in net losses for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $53,627,000 in net losses for the year ended December 31, 2000. Equity in losses of associated companies also includes amortization of our net excess investment over the equity in the net assets of these associated companies, which totaled $6,287,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $36,994,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

    Impairment of Investment in Equity Method and Cost Method Associated Companies

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded impairment charges of $36,633,000 for other than temporary declines in the carrying values of certain equity and cost method associated companies. As of December 31, 2001, we have completely written off our investments in associated companies accounted for under the equity basis and cost basis of accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded impairment charges of $113,125,000 for other than temporary declines in the carrying values of certain equity and cost method associated companies. These charges included the write-down of our net investment in BidBuyBuild to $200,000, which was the value at which it was sold in October 2000, and the write-down of our net investment in iSalvage to $72,000. iSalvage has ceased all meaningful business operations. The impairment charges also included write-offs of our investments in CapacityWeb, Entrepower, PocketCard, and Whiplash, each of which has ceased all meaningful operations. In conjunction with the sale of BidBuyBuild, we also received a warrant to acquire 5% of the shares of BidBuyBuild with an exercise price of approximately $100,000. In addition, the carrying values of certain other equity and cost method associated companies were written down to their estimated fair values as of December 31, 2000.

    Extraordinary Gain

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, we reported an extraordinary gain of $12,032,000, which included $11,195,000 and $837,000, respectively, related to our acquisitions of the outstanding equity that we did not already own of Emicom and Latin Capital. These extraordinary gains represented the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the fair value of our consideration given in

40


conjunction with these acquisitions. We did not report an extraordinary gain for the year ended December 31, 2000.

    Year Ended December 31, 2000 vs. Period Ended December 31, 1999

    General

        During the year ended December 31, 2000, we acquired controlling majority voting interests in BeautyJungle.com, Inc., bid4real.com, inc., NetUnlimited, Oilspot.com, Inc., Panthera Productions LLC, Parlano, Inc., ViaChange.com, Inc., Web Design Group and Westbound Consulting, Inc., and made contributions to our wholly owned subsidiary, Skyscraper Management, L.L.C., through which we managed Skyscraper Ventures, L.P. as general partner, for total aggregate consideration of $68,043,000, including $5,000,000 in the form of promissory notes, all of which have since been paid. In addition, we issued a total of 10,000,000 shares of our series F preferred stock, with a fair value of $4.80 per share, in connection with our acquisition of Parlano. These shares were converted into 1,666,666 shares of class A common stock upon completion of our initial public offering. We also acquired significant minority ownership interests in 18 new associated companies, which we account for under the equity method of accounting, for total consideration of $216,388,000, including $75,971,000 in the form of promissory notes, all of which have since been paid. In addition, we issued a total of 3,000,000 shares of our series F preferred stock, with a fair value of $4.80 per share, which converted into 499,999 shares of class A common stock upon completion of our initial public offering, in connection with our acquisitions of two of the 18 equity method companies, closerlook and Perceptual Robotics. In April 2000, we made an additional investment in OpinionWare.com, Inc., an associated company since December 1999, that caused OpinionWare to become a consolidated associated company, whereas it was an equity method associated company prior to this additional investment. In August 2000, we made an additional investment in iFulfillment, Inc., an associated company since January 2000, that caused us to account for iFulfillment as a consolidated associated company instead of an equity method associated company.

        We generated revenues totaling $44,079,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, which is an increase of $43,042,000 over revenues of $1,037,000 for the period ended December 31, 1999.

This represents an increase of $142,482,000 over the $7,962,000 (exclusive of $740,000 of amortization of stock-based compensation) of selling, general, and administrative expenses for the period ended December 31, 1999.

42


    Amortization of Intangible Assets

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, we incurred amortization expense of $21,088,000 on our intangible assets. This represents an increase of $20,493,000 over the $595,000 of amortization expense for the period ended December 31, 1999. The increase was due to the substantial number of investments in associated companies that we made in 2000, and the related increase in amortizable intangible assets.

    Impairment of Intangible and Other Assets

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded impairment charges of $57,626,000 for other than temporary declines in the carrying values of certain intangible and other assets. These charges included, but were not limited to, write-offs of our goodwill and other intangible assets related to our investments in BeautyJungle, Brandango, and OfficePlanIt, each of which have ceased all meaningful operations.

        Additionally, we recorded an impairment charge of $10,961,000, including declines in the carrying value of property owned by us, improvements made to properties that we no longer consider recoverable and charges related to certain of our operating leases, consisting mainly of the net value of future cash payments to honor operating leases on facilities that we are no longer utilizing.

    Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, we incurred a non-cash expense of $28,489,000 related to the issuance, prior to our IPO, of shares of restricted stock and grants of options to employees, directors, and consultants under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan with exercise prices lower than the fair value of the class A common stock on the dates of grant. Also for the year ended December 31, 2000, we recovered $7,854,000 of previously recognized compensation expense related to options of terminated employees that had not vested.

        During September 2000, we reduced the exercise price of options granted, and restricted stock purchased, under our stock incentive plan prior to our IPO to $9.00 being the IPO price of our class A common stock, if the exercise price of such options or the purchase price of such restricted shares was greater than the IPO price, and if the holder agreed to the change. We also repurchased during September 2000, 3,820,735 shares of restricted class A common stock, issued upon exercise of options granted under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, at the respective exercise prices, which ranged from $4.50 to $9.00. Any consideration in excess of the exercise price, as adjusted, was refunded to these holders. As a result of the downward repricing of restricted shares and options, we recorded a one-time stock-based compensation charge of $3,209,000. Each of the holders of the repurchased restricted stock received a replacement option grant for the same number of shares with an exercise price of $9.00 per share. All of these replacement options are exercisable and vest as to 25% of the options on the first anniversary of the original option grant, and thereafter in equal monthly installments over the next three years. For those replacement options repriced downward, we will recognize stock-based compensation expense for any amount by which the fair value of our class A common stock exceeds $9.00 per share during the remaining vesting period. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we repurchased an additional 613,774 shares of restricted class A common stock from terminated employees.

        Each of the holders of the repurchased restricted stock received a replacement option grant for the same number of shares with an exercise price of $9.00 per share. All of these replacement options are exercisable and vest as to 25% of the options on the first anniversary of the original option grant, and thereafter in equal monthly installments over the next three years. For those replacement options repriced downward, we will recognize stock-based compensation expense in the future for any amount by which the fair value of our class A common stock exceeds $9.00 per share. After giving effect to

43



these changes, as of December 31, 2000, 15,430,225 shares of our class A common stock had been issued under our stock incentive plan, upon exercise of outstanding options or otherwise, at prices ranging from $1.19 to $13.50 per share, and we had outstanding options to purchase 6,559,649 shares of class A common stock under our stock incentive plan, with exercise prices ranging from $1.19 to $13.50 per share. The total unearned stock-based compensation related to the outstanding options and restricted stock at December 31, 2000 was $36,641,000.

        From January 1, 2000 through September 21, 2000, we incurred an additional non-cash expense of $5,896,000 related to our issuance to our employees of shares of common stock of our majority-owned associated companies that we established. Effective September 22, 2000, we repurchased these minority interests from our employees. These repurchases were made at the initial investment cost plus 8% for our executive officers and at two times the initial investment cost for the other employees that owned those shares. The aggregate purchase price for all of these shares was $93,000. As a result of these repurchases, we accelerated our recognition of the remaining $18,329,000 of stock-based compensation related to these shares.

        For the period ended December 31, 1999, we incurred a non-cash expense of $747,000 related to the issuance of shares of restricted stock and grants of options to employees and directors under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan with exercise prices lower than the fair value of the class A common stock on the dates of the grant. We did not recover any previously recognized compensation expense in 1999.

    Interest Income and Expense

        Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $15,583,000 and was earned from the investment of our available cash balances. This is an increase of $13,994,000 over the $1,589,000 of interest income earned during the period ended December 31, 1999. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $1,857,000 and was incurred primarily from notes payable to associated companies. This is an increase of $1,652,000 over the $205,000 of interest expense incurred during the period ended December 31, 1999, which was related primarily to borrowings under a previous line of credit.

    Other Expense

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $301,000. No other expenses were recorded for the period ended December 31, 1999.

    Income Taxes

        We recorded no income tax provision or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2000 or the period ended December 31, 1999. Because we have no history of taxable income through December 31, 2000, the tax benefit associated with our net losses was fully reserved.

        In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based upon our historical net operating losses and projections for future tax losses, we believe it is more likely than not that we will not realize the deferred tax assets. Thus, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2000.

    Minority Interest

        Minority interest of $18,169,000 and $51,000 represents the non-controlling stockholders' share of our consolidated associated companies' net losses for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the period ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

44


    Net Gain on Stock Transactions of Associated Companies

        Net gain on stock transactions of associated companies of $4,375,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 relates to the net increase in the value of our investments in associated companies resulting from the issuance of stock by these companies to outside investors at prices higher than the value at which we have carried these investments and other stock transactions of these associated companies. The gain was attributed mainly to issuances of stock by Launchworks, which accounted for $4,430,000 and closerlook, which accounted for $847,000. The gain was reduced by a loss of $1,011,000 resulting from the redemption of shares by Mercantec. Because none of our associated companies had any such stock transactions during the period ended December 31, 1999, we had no such gains or losses during that period.

    Equity in Losses of Associated Companies

        Equity in losses of associated companies resulted from our minority ownership interests we account for, or accounted for, under the equity method. Equity in losses of associated companies includes our proportionate share of equity method associated companies' losses, which totaled $53,627,000 in net losses for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $672,000 in net losses for the period ended December 31, 1999. Equity in losses of associated companies also includes amortization of our net excess investment over the equity in the net assets of these associated companies, which totaled $36,994,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $742,000 for the period ended December 31, 1999.

    Impairment of Investment in Equity Method and Cost Method Associated Companies

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded impairment charges of $113,125,000 for other than temporary declines in the carrying values of certain equity and cost method associated companies. These charges included the write-down of our net investment in BidBuyBuild to $200,000, which was the value at which it was sold in October 2000, and the write-down of our net investment in iSalvage to $72,000. iSalvage has ceased all meaningful business operations. The impairment charges also included write-offs of our investments in CapacityWeb, Entrepower, PocketCard, and Whiplash, each of which has ceased all meaningful operations. In conjunction with the sale of BidBuyBuild, we also received a warrant to acquire 5% of the shares of BidBuyBuild with an exercise price of $100,000. In addition, the carrying values of certain other equity and cost method associated companies were written down to their estimated fair values as of December 31, 2000.

Summary of Currently Expected Fixed Charges

        The following table summarizes the fixed charges as of December 31, 2001 that we currently expect to incur over the next four years for amortization of identifiable intangible assets and unearned stock-based compensation:

*
These unearned stock-based compensation charges do not reflect potential additional charges associated with options granted to employees which are accounted for under the variable method of accounting as well as options granted to consultants. The future value of these potential charges

45


    cannot be estimated at this time because the charges will be based on the future value of our stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        As of December 31, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash, and available-for-sale securities of $140,732,000, which represented a decrease of $126,348,000 from $267,080,000 as of December 31, 2000. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to net cash used in operating activities of $237,872,000, net cash provided in the acquisition, deconsolidation, and divestiture of ownership interests in associated companies of $86,348,000, cash used for capitalized acquisition costs of $16,830,000, cash provided by the sale of ownership interests in associated companies of $26,247,000, cash provided from the issuance of notes payable of $17,605,000, and cash used to acquire property and equipment of $11,781,000.

        In January 2001, we entered into a $25,000,000 line of credit with LaSalle Bank N.A. This line of credit is cash collateralized and is available for working capital financing and general corporate purposes other than permanent financing for acquisitions of interests in associated companies. As of December 31, 2001, we had established letters of credit of $16,360,000 against this line of credit. These letters of credit include $6,135,000 for assumed debt of RoweCom, $4,868,000 for a note payable to marchFIRST GmbH, and $5,357,000 as collateral for various real estate and equipment leases.

        As of December 31, 2001, we had current restricted cash of $32,566,000, which represented an increase of $30,423,000 from $2,143,000 as of December 31, 2000. Current restricted cash as of December 31, 2001 included $17,461,000 that secured the $16,360,000 in letters of credit from LaSalle Bank N.A. described above, $10,000,000 that collateralized $9,000,000 of loans payable by RoweCom to publishers, and $5,105,000 for other future RoweCom obligations to publishers.

        In May 2001, we received $13,174,000 for our 2,335,000 shares of Sequoia Software Corporation as part of the acquisition of Sequoia by Citrix Systems, Inc. At December 31, 2001, we had $3,686,000 in available-for-sale securities. This amount includes shares of Neoforma.com and CMGI.

        We examine all of the associated companies in our divine interVentures portfolio to assess their potential for financial success as part of our organization, whether on a stand-alone basis or otherwise. This examination includes consideration of each associated company's development of its business plans and objectives and progress toward achievement of its performance goals. As of December 31, 2001, we have completely written off our investments in the associated companies in our divine interVentures portfolio, other than amounts included in available-for-sale securities, and we do not expect to make additional investments in these associated companies.

        In connection with purchases of our shares of class A and class C common stock by private investors concurrent with our initial public offering in July 2000:

            (1)  we agreed under our Alliance Agreement with Microsoft to purchase $9,600,000 of software products, $4,700,000 of consulting services and $1,000,000 of product support services from Microsoft through January 2004, to expend $4,000,000 over four years to promote Microsoft solutions, to open an accelerator facility in Seattle, the cost for which would be determined as the size and scope of the accelerator was finalized, and to dedicate up to $50,000,000 in capital to projects and acquisitions in the Seattle area. As of December 31, 2001, we had purchased, or entered into binding agreements to purchase, a total of $4,084,000 of software products, $738,000 of consulting services, and $366,000 of product support services toward these obligations. In connection with our acquisition of HostOne in October 2001, we agreed with Microsoft that we would use our best efforts to amend the Alliance Agreement to provide, among other things: that we will commit to be a Microsoft .NET partner and develop products and services that are coordinated with Microsoft's products and its .NET strategy; that we will identify other

46


    opportunities to promote Microsoft products; and that Microsoft will promote our products and services.

            (2)  we entered into an agreement concerning the purchase of a minimum of $100,000,000 of co-location and bandwidth services from Level 3 over a four-year period, $25,000,000 of which would have been credited to us as consideration for Level 3's purchase of shares from us. In August 2001, we agreed to repurchase the 5,555,555 shares of our common stock owned by Level 3 in exchange for $5,555,555 and the issuance warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of our common stock. We paid the cash in two equal installments in August and December 2001, and issued the warrants in two equal installments in August 2001 and January 2002. Additionally, we agreed with Level 3 to cancel our commitment to purchase $100,000,000 of co-location and bandwidth services and to eliminate our prepaid credit of $25,000,000.

            (3)  we agreed to purchase a minimum of $5,000,000 of computer equipment and software, storage solutions, and professional services from Compaq over four years. As of December 31, 2001, we have purchased $1,890,000 of products and services from Compaq toward this obligation.

        In two separate transactions in April 2001, we acquired certain assets from marchFIRST, Inc., including, but not limited to, its former Whittman-Hart operations, its SAP software implementation practice, and its value-added reseller business. Additionally, we acquired accounts receivable with a face value of $102.8 million. The acquired business is held by our newly formed subsidiary, divine/Whittman-Hart, Inc. We paid to marchFIRST $12,500,000 in cash and divine/Whittman-Hart issued marchFIRST a promissory note. The note is a $57.5 million balloon note, due on April 12, 2006 but accelerated to the extent of 50% of free cash flow from divine/Whittman-Hart's operations and which is secured by the assets of divine/Whittman-Hart. We have the option to pay the note with cash or by issuing shares of our class A common stock. This note bears interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate of interest. In conjunction with our acquisition of marchFIRST assets, we also assumed $12.0 million of accrued compensation and benefit obligations for the employees transferred with the acquired businesses. marchFIRST also is eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $55.0 million in bonus payments, payable to the extent that 50% of free cash flow from divine/Whittman-Hart's operations during the next five years exceeds divine/Whittman-Hart's obligation under the promissory notes. We do not guarantee the promissory notes from divine/Whittman-Hart to marchFIRST, but the terms of the promissory notes restrict payments from divine/Whittman-Hart to us.

        In September 2001, through a wholly owned subsidiary, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of marchFIRST GmbH. For these assets we issued a note payable in the amount of 5,369,000 euros (approximately $4,894,000 at December 31, 2001), which is included within current notes payable in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2001. The note is due on September 1, 2002. We have the option to pay the note with cash or by issuing shares of our class A common stock.

        In connection with our acquisition of Synchrony Communications, Inc. in October 2001, we acquired debt with balances totalling of $1,761,000 as of December 31, 2001, of which $1,167,000 is due in twelve equal monthly installments in 2002 and $594,000 is due in three equal monthly installments during the first three months of 2003.

        Aleksander Szlam, who served as one of our directors in 2000, was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of eshare communications, Inc. while he served on our board of directors. In connection with our acquisition of eshare in October 2001, we entered into two separate stock repurchase arrangements with Mr. Szlam covering the shares of our common stock that Mr. Szlam received in the acquisition. These arrangements gave Mr. Szlam the right to sell back a portion of his shares to us at an agreed upon price (put option), while also giving us the right to buy back the same number of shares from Mr. Szlam at the same price (call option). In December 2001, the first buyback period, which covers 5,428,800 shares, was extended to be coterminous with the second buyback period.

47



The second buyback period is effective for the time period beginning six months after the merger (April 23, 2002) and ending 18 months after the merger (April 23, 2003), and covers 5,959,200 shares of our common stock. The agreed-upon purchase price for the related put and call options is $0.53 per share. This means that for one year beginning on April 23, 2002, Mr. Szlam has the right to sell to us, and we have a separate right to buy from Mr. Szlam, up to 11,388,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.53 per share.

        In conjunction with our acquisition of RoweCom Inc. in November 2001, we acquired current notes payable with balances totalling of $15,931,000 as of December 31, 2001. These balances consisted of loans from publishers of $9,000,000, of which $6,775,000 was paid on January 4, 2002 with the remainder due April 15, 2002, $5,775,000 in other debt due April 15, 2002, and the current portion of a loan of $1,156,000 due in four equal quarterly installments from March 31, 2002 to December 31, 2002. In addition, we acquired other RoweCom long-term debt with balances of $5,046,000 as of December 31, 2001, which is due in quarterly installments from March 31, 2003 to September 30, 2006.

        In December 2001, we signed a revolving loan agreement for $20,000,000 with Fleet Capital Corporation. The loans under that agreement are collateralized by eligible accounts receivable balances of the domestic operations of RoweCom, and the loans are repaid from the net operating receipts of the domestic operations of RoweCom. The balance outstanding under that revolving loan agreement was $17,083,000 as of December 31, 2001 and is included within current notes payable in our consolidated balance sheets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we made payments of $17,083,000 on this loan agreement and we also borrowed $3,943,000, which represented the balance outstanding as of March 31, 2002. The payments resulted from RoweCom's domestic collections from customers being in excess of payments to publishers in 2002. The expiration date of this revolving loan agreement is April 15, 2002.

        In connection with our acquisition of RoweCom, we assumed a factoring arrangement previously in place between RoweCom's French subsidiary (RoweCom France) and a European factoring company. The arrangement allows the factoring company to purchase, without recourse, $55,000,000 of RoweCom France accounts receivable during the period October 1, 2001 to September 30, 2002. The factoring arrangement is structured so that we receive 90% of the face value of the accounts receivable upon sale to the factoring company, with the remaining 10% due to us upon the ultimate collection of the accounts receivable by the factoring company. Our cost for this arrangement is 0.37% of the face value of the sold accounts receivable, which is paid when the accounts receivable are transferred to the factoring company.

        The operations of RoweCom Inc. historically have resulted in cyclical cash flows throughout the year, with the fourth calendar quarter historically resulting in the highest required funding level by RoweCom. The seasonal fourth quarter funding requirements are due to the required publisher payments to publishers in excess of collections from customers.

        During January, February, and March 2002, we used net cash for operating activities of approximately $19 million, $30 million, and $17 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $1 million, $4 million, and $1 million, respectively, related to cash used for non-recurring operating activities, primarily severance of non-continuing employees and termination of contractual obligations of certain acquired companies. Cash activity during the first quarter of 2002 also included a net increase of approximately $7 million related to cash received from acquired companies and borrowings, partially offset by cash paid for acquisitions. The cash activity for the first quarter of 2002 excludes approximately $17 million of RoweCom's domestic collections in excess of publisher disbursements during January, February, and early March that were used for gross paydowns of the Fleet Capital Corporation revolving loan agreement as described above. Our cash flows from operating activities can vary significantly from month to month, depending on the timing of operating cash receipts and payments and other working capital changes, especially accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued

48



expenses, and other current assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2002, we had estimated cash and cash equivalents and available for sale securities of approximately $80 million, which included approximately $35 million of current restricted cash.

        Our operating plan depends on us achieving significant increases in revenue and cash receipts and significant decreases in expenses. We expect that our revenue and cash receipts will increase as we continue to integrate the product and service offerings of our acquired businesses, and we intend to decrease some of our operating costs, primarily through workforce and payroll reductions. Based on these forecasts, we believe that our existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and new cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements at least through December 31, 2002. There is a substantial risk, however, that our revenue and cash receipts will not grow at a sufficient rate, and that we will not be able to reduce our expenses to keep them in line with our revenue. If we are unable to meet our revenue and expense management goals, we will need to significantly reduce our workforce, sell certain of our assets, enter into strategic relationships or business combinations, discontinue some or all of our operations, or take other similar restructuring actions. While we expect that these actions would result in a reduction of recurring costs, they also may result in a reduction of recurring revenues and cash receipts. It is also likely that we would incur substantial non-recurring costs to implement one or more of these restructuring actions.

        We are also exploring a number of alternatives to generate cash, including acquiring other entities that have substantial cash balances, selling certain assets, and new debt or equity financings. We do not currently have in place any agreements to provide us any of these sources of funds, and these sources of funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, if they are available to us at all. In addition, any of these transactions also could result in significant equity dilution to the holders of our common stock at the time of the transaction, or later.

        Our outstanding contractual obligations, leasehold commitments, and outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2001 are set forth in the following tables. These amounts represent amounts due by us for the periods indicated under non-cancelable contracts, leases, and loan arrangements.

Amounts due as reflected in the table above assume a put by Mr. Szlam.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet in order to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to workforce in place may not be accounted for separately. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 142 beginning on January 1, 2002.

        In December 2001, the FASB staff issued Topic No. D-103, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for "Out-of-Pocket" Expenses Incurred (Topic D-103), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Topic D-103 requires that certain out-of-pocket expenses rebilled to customers be recorded as revenue versus an offset to the related expense. Comparative financial statements for prior periods must be conformed to this presentation. We currently record rebilled out-of-pocket expenses as an offset to the related expense and, accordingly, effective January 1, 2002, we will change our presentation to reflect rebilled expenses as revenue.

Significant Accounting Policies

        We prepare the consolidated financial statements of divine in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial results are as follows:

    Revenue Recognition

        Software transactions are accounted for in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements, such as software products, upgrades/enhancements, post-contract customer

50


support, installation and training to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The revenue allocated to software licenses where the separate service elements are not essential to functionality of the other elements is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. When the separate service elements are essential to the functionality of the other elements, software license revenues are recognized according to the contract accounting provisions outlined in SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Performance-Type Contracts, specifically the percentage-of-completion method. The revenue allocated to post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the support, and revenue allocated to service elements such as training, installation and customization is recognized as the services are performed.

        The majority of our software license arrangements include flexible contractual provisions that, among other things, allow customers to receive unspecified future software products. Under these arrangements, we recognize revenue attributable to the software products ratably over the term of the license arrangement commencing upon delivery of the currently available software products.

        Revenue from consulting services is provided under fixed price and time and materials contracts. For fixed price contracts, revenue is recorded on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of services rendered. Losses, if any, on fixed price contracts are recognized when the loss is determined. For time and materials contracts, revenue is recorded at contractually agreed upon rates as the costs are incurred.

        Revenue from equipment sales is recognized upon shipment.

        Revenue generated from subscription orders for third-party publications is recognized over the subscription period.

        Management fees are recognized as revenue over the period of the management service.

        Any significant increase in product failure rates or service quality, and the resulting credit returns or non-payments by customers, could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such events could materialize.

    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        We account for our acquisitions of consolidated companies under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Other intangible assets that are separable from goodwill and have determinable useful lives are valued separately and amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill represents mainly the excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses that are consolidated. Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets that do not have determinable useful lives and are not valued separately are not amortized pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis. Other identifiable intangible assets consist mainly of developed technology and are generally amortized over two to four years.

        On a continuous basis, but no less frequently than at the end of each quarterly reporting period, we evaluate the carrying value for financial statement purposes of our goodwill and other intangible assets. We account for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the reporting units of the underlying businesses when indications of impairment are present. Such indications of impairment include, but are not limited to, the actual performance of reporting units compared with budgeted performance, layoffs within reporting units and associated facilities impairment charges, if applicable, and market trends.

51



        Any significant deterioration of the actual or projected cash flows of certain of our businesses, significant changes in the strategic manner or use of our assets, or significant negative industry trends could result in future impairment charges of these businesses.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Equity Price Risk—At December 31, 2001, we had $3,686,000 of available-for-sale equity securities. These securities represent companies in the Internet and hi-tech sectors, both of which have experienced significant volatility, specifically in the last twenty one months. These investments are at risk in the event of a downturn in the public markets in general or a downturn in their specific sectors. However, these investments accounted for only 0.4% of our total assets at December 31, 2001.

        Interest Rate Risk—At December 31, 2001, we had $137,046,000 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. A decrease in market rates of interest would have no material effect on the value of these assets, as they are short-term financial instruments with a fair value approximating our cost basis. Cash equivalents consist mainly of money market accounts, short-term treasury bills, and commercial paper. The carrying values of other financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value as well because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value due to the variable rates at which the underlying notes bear interest.

        At December 31, 2001, we had $84,868,000 of notes payable and long-term debt carried at variable interest rates. A hypothetical 1% change in market rates of interest would not have a material effect on our net loss.

        Foreign Currency Exchange Risk—Our financial market risk includes risks associated with our acquisition of companies with operations outside the United States. This risk is mainly derived from our fourth quarter acquisitions of eshare, Open Market, Rowecom, and Eprise. Through December 31, 2001, we have recorded a $940,000 foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently engage in any activities for the purpose of hedging foreign currency.

        Impairment Risk—At December 31, 2001, we had goodwill and other intangible assets of $211,075,000 related almost exclusively to our acquisition of companies in the fourth quarter of 2001. We will assess the net realizable value of the assets acquired from these companies on a regular basis to determine if we have incurred any other than temporary decline in the value of our capital investment. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred $37,864,000 in impairment charges related mainly to the intangible and other assets associated with our investment in consolidated companies, mainly in our software, services, and hosting segment. None of these impairment charges related to the acquisitions that comprise our balance of goodwill and other intangible assets at December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we also incurred $36,633,000 of impairment charges related to our investment in equity-method and cost-method associated companies in our divine interVentures segment. We have no investments in equity- or cost-basis associated companies reflected on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. Finally, for the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded $25,000,000 of impairment expense related to the write-off of prepaid co-location and bandwidth services and $12,022,000 of impairment expense related to our future commitments under operating leases. We may incur additional impairment charges in future periods.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
divine, inc.:

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of divine, inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period from May 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of divine, inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period from May 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    (a) Description of Business

        divine interVentures, inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 7, 1999 and commenced operations on June 30, 1999. The Company began by engaging in business-to-business e-commerce through a community of associated companies in which it invested. From September 30, 1999 to December 31, 2000, the Company acquired interests in 40 associated companies and established a total of 13 associated companies whose opportunities were consistent with the Company's business strategy.

        In February 2001, the Company announced its strategy to focus primarily on extended enterprise solutions, and changed its name to divine, inc. Since then, interests in the Company's associated companies that provide products and/or services consistent with the Company's core business strategy are no longer reflected separately but have become integrated into the Company's core business strategy and operating model as a fully integrated set of products and services. The Company's other associated companies, offering software and services focused on e-commerce and vertical markets, have been included in the Company's divine interVentures segment since December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has completely written off its investments in the associated companies in the divine interVentures portfolio, other than amounts included in available-for-sale securities.

        divine is a service and software company focused on solutions for the extended enterprise. divine helps its clients maximize profits through better collaboration, interaction, and knowledge sharing throughout the entire value chain, including suppliers, partners, employees, and customers. The Company facilitates its customers' integration of advanced enterprise Web solutions with their business strategies and existing infrastructures by providing a combination of professional services, Web-based technology, and managed applications capabilities. The Company focuses its offerings on Global 5000 and high-growth middle market firms and services customers located mainly in the United States and throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

    (b) Principles of Consolidation

        As discussed above, the Company has held ownership interests in many associated companies since its inception. Under the Company's new strategic focus, the Company's acquisitions are almost exclusively acquisitions of 100% of the stock of certain companies that fit its operating strategy. The following discussion regarding the principles of consolidation is meant to explain how the Company accounted for investments in associated companies focused on e-business and vertical markets, which accounted for the majority of the Company's consolidated operations in 1999 and 2000. These companies were considered part of the Company's divine interVentures portfolio throughout 2001. The significance of the operations of these associated companies on the consolidated operations of the Company decreased throughout 2001, and as of December 31, 2001, the Company has completely written off its investments in the associated companies in its divine interVentures portfolio, other than amounts included in available-for-sale securities.

        Consolidation.    Associated companies in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding voting power are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. Under this method, an associated company's results of operations are reflected within the Company's consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date forward. Earnings or losses

62



attributable to other stockholders of a consolidated associated company are identified as "minority interest" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Minority interest adjusts the Company's consolidated net results of operations to reflect only its share of the earnings or losses of an associated company. Transactions between the Company and its consolidated associated companies are eliminated in consolidation.

        Equity Method.    Associated companies in which the Company owns 50% or less of the outstanding voting power, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an associated company depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among other things, representation on the associated company's board of directors, ownership percentage and voting rights associated with the Company's holdings in the associated company. If the Company owns at least 20%, but not more than 50%, of the outstanding voting power of an associated company, the Company accounts for its interests under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, associated companies' results of operations are not reflected within the Company's consolidated operating results. However, the Company's share of the earnings or losses of these associated companies, from the acquisition date forward, is identified as "equity in losses of associated companies" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

        The amount by which the Company's carrying value exceeds its share of the underlying net assets of associated companies accounted for under the equity method of accounting is amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, which the Company believes to be the minimum number of years for which the associated companies will be successfully implementing their business plans, based on various factors such as their revenue models and technology, and the industries in which they operate. This amortization adjusts the Company's share of the "equity in losses of associated companies" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

        Cost Method.    Associated companies not accounted for under either the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company's share of the earnings and losses of these companies is not included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

        The Company records its ownership interest in equity securities of its associated companies accounted for under the cost method at cost, unless the securities have readily determinable fair values based on quoted market prices, in which case these interests would be accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

    (c) Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 2001 are invested principally in money market accounts, short-term treasury bills, and commercial paper.

    (d) Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts with various banks. The total domestic cash balances of the Company are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 per depositor, per bank. In addition, a significant portion of the cash held by

63


the Company in domestic brokerage accounts at December 31, 2001 is protected with coverage provided through commercial insurers. The Company had uninsured cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2001 of $103,653,000.

    (e) Financial Instruments

        Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepaid expenses, deferred publisher costs, accounts payable, publisher payables, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and notes payable are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt is carried at cost which approximates fair value due to the variable rates at which the underlying notes bear interest.

    (f) Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are generally forty years for buildings, twelve years for machinery and equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures, and three years for computer equipment and software. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the assets.

    (g) Software Development Costs

        Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development, including coding and testing activities necessary to establish technological feasibility, are classified as research and development costs, and expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility has been determined, material costs incurred in the construction phase of software development, including coding and testing, and product quality assurance, are to be capitalized. To date, no software development costs have been capitalized as technological feasibility has been achieved substantially concurrent with the general release of the Company's software products.

    (h) Software Developed for Internal Use

        The Company expenses costs related to the development of software for internal use. Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, does not materially affect the Company.

    (i) Web Site Development Costs

        The Company expenses costs incurred for web site development. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs, does not materially affect the Company.

    (j) Revenue Recognition

        Software transactions are accounted for in accordance with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended. SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements, such as software products, upgrades/enhancements, post-contract customer support, installation and training to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The revenue allocated to software licenses where the separate service elements are not essential to functionality of the other elements is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and

64


collectibility is probable. When the separate service elements are essential to the functionality of the other elements, software license revenues are recognized according to the contract accounting provisions outlined in SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Performance-Type Contracts, specifically the percentage-of-completion method. The revenue allocated to post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the support, and revenue allocated to service elements such as training, installation and customization is recognized as the services are performed.

        The majority of the Company's software license arrangements include flexible contractual provisions that, among other things, allow customers to receive unspecified future software products. Under these arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue attributable to the software products ratably over the term of the license arrangement commencing upon delivery of the currently available software products.

        Revenue from consulting services is provided under fixed price and time and materials contracts. For fixed price contracts, revenue is recorded on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of services rendered. Losses, if any, on fixed price contracts are recognized when the loss is determined. For time and materials contracts, revenue is recorded at contractually agreed upon rates as the costs are incurred.

        Revenue from equipment sales is recognized upon shipment.

        Revenue generated from subscription orders for third-party publications is recognized over the subscription period.

        Management fees are recognized as revenue over the period of the management service.

    (k) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        The Company accounts for its acquisitions of consolidated companies under the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Other intangible assets that are separable from goodwill and have determinable useful lives are valued separately and amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill represents mainly the excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses that are consolidated. Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets that do not have determinable useful lives and are not valued separately are not amortized pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis. Other identifiable intangible assets consist mainly of developed technology and are generally amortized over two to four years.

        Prior to its adoption of SFAS No. 141 on July 1, 2001, the Company accounted for its acquisitions and the related amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations (APB No. 16). Under APB No. 16, the Company amortized all of its goodwill and other intangible assets over two or three years. The Company continued to amortize, through December 31, 2001, its remaining goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from business combinations occurring prior to July 1, 2001.

        For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded amortization expense of $12,757,000, $51,640,000, and $1,121,000, respectively, related to goodwill and certain intangible assets, as well as net excess investment over the equity in net assets of equity-method associated companies, that are no longer being amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Had the Company not recorded these amortization expenses, net loss before extraordinary gain would have been $369,099,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Net loss

65



applicable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period ended December 31, 1999 would have been $357,067,000, $476,542,000, and $4,806,000, respectively. Net loss per share applicable to common stockholders would have been $(1.99), $(7.07), and $(4.19), respectively.

    (l) Impairment Valuation

        On a continuous basis, but no less frequently than at the end of each quarterly reporting period, the Company evaluates the carrying value for financial statement purposes of its goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company accounts for the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the reporting units of the underlying businesses when indications of impairment are present. Such indications of impairment include, but are not limited to, the actual performance of reporting units compared with budgeted performance, layoffs within reporting units and associated facilities impairment charges, if applicable, and market trends.

    (m) Gain or Loss on Issuance of Stock by Associated Companies

        Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 84, at the time an associated company accounted for under the consolidation or equity method issues its stock at a price different from the associated company's book value per share, the Company's share of the associated company's net equity changes. If at that time, the associated company is not a newly formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the associated company's ability to continue in existence, the Company records the change in its share of the associated company's net equity as a gain or loss in its consolidated statements of operations. Otherwise, the Company records the change in its share of the associated company's net equity as an increase or decrease in its additional paid-in capital.

    (n) Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    (o) Stock Options

        SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost of stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the option exercise price and is charged to operations over the vesting period. Income tax benefits attributable to stock options exercised are credited to additional paid-in capital.

66


    (p) Net Loss Per Share

        Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and convertible preferred stock is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share only when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities have not been included in the shares used to compute net loss per share.

        Had the Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2001, the weighted average number of shares outstanding would have potentially been diluted by 29,553,095 common equivalent shares, assuming the exercise of all outstanding stock options and by 1,707,634 common equivalent shares, assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants.

        Had the Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2000, the weighted average number of shares outstanding would have potentially been diluted by 41,631,000 common equivalent shares, assuming the conversion of preferred stock from the date of issuance of that preferred stock. All preferred stock of the Company was converted into common stock upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering on July 18, 2000. Had the Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2000, the weighted average number of shares outstanding would have potentially been further diluted by 3,189,000 common equivalent shares, assuming the exercise of stock options.

        Had the Company reported net income for the period ended December 31, 1999, the weighted average number of shares outstanding would have potentially been diluted by 14,992,500 common equivalent shares, assuming the conversion of preferred stock and an additional 619,000 common stock equivalent shares, assuming the exercise of stock options.

    (q) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Excluding net income (loss), the Company's source of comprehensive income (loss) is from net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on its available-for-sale securities and from net gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

    (r) Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    (s) Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentations.

67


    (t) Foreign Currency Translation

        Since the Company does business in foreign countries, fluctuations in exchange rates of various foreign currencies affect the Company's financial position and results of operations. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. The revenue and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the reporting period. The gains or losses that result from translation are shown in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet.

Other acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2001 have also been excluded because their effects would be immaterial. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the

        The value of stock issued as consideration in these acquisitions was determined based on the average closing market price of divine's common shares on the measurement date and the three trading days before and after the measurement date. The measurement date is generally the date on which the terms of the acquisition are agreed to and announced, unless the number of shares or the amount of other consideration is subsequently changed as a result of further negotiations or a revised acquisition agreement, or if the number of shares or the amount of other consideration to be issued could change pursuant to a formula in the initial acquisition agreement. In these cases, the measurement date is the first date on which the number of acquirer shares and the amount of other consideration become fixed.

        In the case of any dividend paid in stock, holders of class A common stock will be entitled to receive the same percentage dividend payable in shares of class A common stock that the holders of class C common stock receive payable in shares of class C common stock.

        Except as described above, the relative powers, preferences and participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the class A common stock and class C common stock are identical in all respects.

        Several of the Company's equity method associated companies owned a total of 1,319,592 and 1,986,259 shares of the Company's class A common stock at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

84



        In February 2001, the Company's board of directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one Right on each outstanding share of class A common stock. The dividend was payable to shareholders of record on February 23, 2001.

        Initially, no separate certificates were issued for the Rights; rather, the Rights are evidenced by the certificates for class A common stock and trade automatically with the class A common stock. The Rights are not exercisable unless a person or group has acquired, or announces the intent to acquire, 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (or 20% or more if such a person or group owned 10% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock at the time of adoption of the Rights Plan). Thereafter, separate Rights certificates will be distributed and each Right will entitle its holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at $15.00 per Right. The Rights are redeemable by the Company's board of directors, for $0.001 per Right, at any time prior to the exercisability of the Rights.

        In the event a person or group acquires 15% (20% in certain circumstances) or more of the Company's class A common stock, each shareholder, other than the acquiror, is entitled to purchase, for the exercise price of the Rights, the number of shares of the Company's common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Rights. In addition, the Company's board of directors may then exchange the Rights for class A common stock at a ratio of one share of class A common stock per Right. Also, if the Rights have become exercisable and the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination, or 50% or more of its assets, cash flow, or earning power are sold, each Right will entitle the holder to purchase, at the exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company that, at the time of the transaction, will have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

        The Rights will expire on January 31, 2011 unless extended by the Company's board of directors.

All references to common shares and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split on a retroactive basis, exclusive of fractional shares. All fractional common shares resulting from the Company's reverse stock split were redeemed by the Company at a price per share of $9.00, being the Company's initial public offering price for its class A common stock.

(13) Initial Public Offering and Private Equity Placements

In calculating the fair value of these assets, the Company considered the undiscounted cash flows of the underlying businesses as well as other factors, such as the actual operating performance of the underlying businesses compared to budgeted performance, and layoffs and facilities impairment charges associated with the underlying businesses. The impairment charges related to intangible and other assets also included the write-off of $3,070,000 of notes receivable from employees for the exercise of stock options and $3,000,000 of costs associated with an agreement to shut down the operations of Emicom, as well as net impairment recoveries of $767,000.

        The Company recognized an impairment charge on prepaid co-location and bandwidth services of $25,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. This prepaid asset was originally recorded when the Company entered into an agreement concerning the purchase of a minimum of $100,000,000 of co-location and bandwidth services from Level 3 Communications over a four-year period. Of this amount, $25,000,000 would have been credited as payment by Level 3 for its purchase of the Company's class C common shares, which have since been converted to the Company's class A common shares, concurrent with the Company's IPO in July 2000. In August 2001, the Company agreed to repurchase the 5,555,555 Company shares owned by Level 3 for $5,555,555 and warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of the Company's class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share. Per the agreement, the Company paid $2,800,000 and issued 1,100,000 warrants in September 2001. The remaining $2,800,000 was paid in December 2001 and the remaining 1,100,000 warrants were issued in January 2002. A condition of the repurchase agreement was that the

86



Company's commitment to purchase $100,000,000 of co-location and bandwidth services was nullified and the Company's prepaid credit of $25,000,000 was eliminated.

        Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $12,022,000 during 2001 related mainly to certain operating leases of divine/Whittman-Hart. These charges consist of the value of future cash payments to honor operating leases on facilities that the Company is no longer utilizing.

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded impairment charges of $57,626,000 for other than temporary declines in carrying value of certain consolidated associated companies. These charges included, but were not limited to, write-offs of the Company's investments in BeautyJungle, Brandango, FiNetrics, and OfficePlanIt, each of which have ceased all meaningful operations. Of the total impairment charges, $39,162,000 was related to goodwill and other intangible assets recognized by the Company upon the acquisition of consolidated associated companies, $15,413,000 was related to fixed assets of consolidated associated companies, and $3,051,000 was related to other assets of consolidated companies.

        The Company also recorded impairment charges of $113,125,000 during 2000 for other than temporary declines in the carrying value of certain equity and cost method associated companies. These charges included the write-down of the Company's net investment in BidBuyBuild to $200,000, which was the value at which it was sold in October 2000, and the write-down of the Company's net investment in iSalvage to $72,000. iSalvage has since ceased all meaningful operations and the Company received $238,000 in 2001 from the liquidation of its assets. These impairment charges also included write-offs of the Company's investments in CapacityWeb, Entrepower, PocketCard and Whiplash, each of which have ceased all meaningful operations. In addition, certain other associated companies' carrying values were written down to their estimated fair values.

        Additionally, the Company recorded a facilities impairment charge during 2000 of $10,961,000, including declines in the carrying value of property owned by the Company, improvements made to properties that the Company no longer considered recoverable and charges related to certain of the Company's operating leases. Of this amount, $5,263,000 represented a liability equal to the net value of future cash payments to honor operating leases on facilities that the Company was no longer utilizing.

(17) Other Expense, net

        Other expense, net of $4,135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 consisted primarily of other than temporary declines of $14,711,000 and $4,181,000 in the Company's available-for-sale investments in CMGI and 360networks, respectively, offset by the sale of the Company's investments in Farms.com, Ltd. and Sequoia Software Corporation, which resulted in realized gains of $7,225,000 and $6,611,000, respectively.

        No provision for Federal or state income taxes has been recorded as the Company incurred a net operating loss during the periods presented. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since management believes that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. No income tax benefit has been recorded for the periods presented because of the valuation allowance. Because the 2000 financial results of certain majority-owned subsidiaries that were acquired in 2001 were not reflected in the Company's results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2000, these majority-owned subsidiaries' net operating loss carryforwards were not included in the Company's deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2000. Accordingly, the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2001 has been adjusted to include these net operating loss carryforwards.

        At December 31, 2001 the Company had total net operating loss carryforwards of $116,546,000, of which $27,608,000 may be utilized by the Company to reduce future consolidated taxable income, if any. Of the total net operating loss carryforwards, $43,235,000 are attributable to majority-owned subsidiaries not includible in the Company's consolidated tax group. Although each majority-owned subsidiary excluded from the Company's consolidated tax group may utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to reduce separate future income taxes, if any, such carryforwards may not offset the Company's consolidated taxable income, if any. Of the total net operating loss carryforwards, $45,703,000 relate to pre-acquisition net operating losses attributable to acquired companies. Our ability to utilize such pre-acquisition losses is substantially limited by current tax laws. In addition, the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited pursuant to Internal Revenue Code

90



Section 382 as a result of prior ownership changes. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2019 through 2021.

(20) Ownership Interest in Platinum Venture Partners I, L.P. and Platinum Venture Partners II, L.P.

        On August 4, 1999, the Company became the general partner of Platinum Venture Partners I, L.P. (PVP I) and Platinum Venture Partners II, L.P. (PVP II) pursuant to a vote by the limited partners of PVP I and PVP II, after Platinum Venture Partners, Inc. withdrew as general partner. The Company provides strategic and operations support to the portfolio companies of PVP I and PVP II. These services are generally provided by divine, inc., the Company's employees, members of its board of directors, and outside consultants. The costs related to employees are paid by the Company and are reflected by the Company in cost of revenues on the consolidated statements of operations.

        The Company has made no contribution to, and has no interest in the profits and losses of, PVP I and PVP II. As the general partner of PVP I, the Company's only source of income is an annual management fee, payable in advance in quarterly installments commencing on October 1, 1999, of 21/2% of the fair market value of the partnership, adjusted annually, by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average during the preceding calendar year. As the general partner of PVP II, the Company's only source of income is an annual management fee, payable in advance in quarterly installments commencing on October 1, 1999, of 21/2% of the aggregate partner commitments, adjusted annually, by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average during the preceding calendar year. Beginning on January 1, 2001, the Company's annual management fee as general partner of PVP II began to be payable in advance in quarterly installments of 21/2% of the fair market value of the partnership, adjusted annually, by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average during the preceding calendar year.

        Under the terms of the PVP I and PVP II Agreements of Limited Partnership (the Agreements), the Company may be removed as the general partner of PVP I and PVP II upon the written request of those limited partners which have at least two-thirds of the total limited partner interests as defined in the Agreements. The Company accounts for its general partnership interests in PVP I and PVP II under the equity method of accounting because it has influence over the operating and financial policies of the partnerships. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the period ended December 31, 1999, the Company received $588,000, $815,000, and $275,000, respectively, in management fees from PVP I and PVP II.

(21) Employee Benefit Plans

    Stock Options and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        The Company, under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan), which was adopted on October 1, 1999 and amended on January 29, 2000 and October 18, 2000, reserved 10,833,333 shares of common stock for issuance. The maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan automatically increases on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2001, by a number of shares of class A common stock equal to the lesser of (1) 10% of the total number of shares of class A common stock then outstanding, assuming for that purpose the conversion into class A common stock of all then outstanding convertible securities, or (2) 50,000,000 shares. The Company, under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2001, reserved 29,000,000 shares of class A common stock for issuance.

91



        The stock is reserved for employees, directors, and consultants. The Company applies APB 25 for employees and directors and SFAS No. 123 for all consultants in accounting for the Plan.

        For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company granted stock options to purchase shares of class A common stock to employees, directors and consultants at a weighted average exercise price of $1.97. The Company recorded unearned stock-based compensation of $221,000 in connection with the options granted for the Eprise merger. This amount is amortized over the vesting period of the applicable options. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company amortized $9,535,000, net of recoveries of $665,000 of unearned stock-based compensation related to stock options. In addition the Company also incurred a one time charge of $132,000 related to the issuance of options to members of its advisory committee. As a result of employee terminations, the Company recovered $10,673,000 of unearned stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2001.

        For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company granted stock options to purchase shares of class A common stock to employees, directors and consultants at a weighted average exercise price of $7.55. In January 2000, the Company also sold 116,665 restricted shares of class A common stock to its employees at a price of $4.50 per share. These restricted shares reduce the otherwise available shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded unearned stock-based compensation of $82,048,000 in connection with these options. This amount is amortized over the vesting period of the applicable options, generally four years in the case of options granted to employees and consultants and one year in the case of options granted to non-employee directors. The Company amortized $20,635,000, net of recoveries of $7,854,000, of unearned stock-based compensation related to stock options during the year ended December 31, 2000. As a result of employee terminations, the Company recovered $51,434,000 of unearned stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2000.

        During September 2000, the Company reduced the exercise price of options granted, and restricted stock purchased, under the Plan prior to its IPO to $9.00, being the IPO price of the Company's class A common stock, if the exercise price of such options or restricted shares was greater than the IPO price and if the holder agreed to the change. Also during September 2000, the Company repurchased 3,820,735 shares of restricted class A common stock, issued upon exercise of options granted under the Plan, at prices ranging from $4.50 to $9.00, which represented the lower of the respective exercise price or fair market value on the date of repurchase. Any consideration in excess of the exercise price, as adjusted, was refunded to these holders. As a result of these repurchases, the Company recorded a one-time stock-based compensation charge of $3,209,000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company repurchased an additional 613,774 shares of restricted class A common stock from terminated employees.

        During 1999, the Company granted stock options to purchase shares of class A common stock to employees and directors at a weighted average exercise price of $4.50, which were granted at less than the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant. For the period from May 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 1999, the Company recorded unearned stock-based compensation of $27,408,000 in connection with these options. This amount is amortized over the vesting period of the applicable options, generally four years in the case of options granted to employees and one year in the case of options granted to non-employee directors. The Company amortized $747,000 of unearned stock-based compensation for the period ended December 31, 1999.

        Had compensation costs for the Plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss applicable to common stockholders and net loss per share applicable to common

stockholders would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the period ended December 31, 1999:

        Generally, options issued under the Plan have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant, have a legal life of ten years, and typically vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period beginning one year from the date of grant. The characteristics of options granted in conjunction with acquisitions are driven by the underlying merger agreements. Prior to June 27, 2000, options under the Plan were exercisable immediately, subject to repurchase rights held by the Company, which lapse over the vesting period.

        The fair value of the stock option grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for stock option grants in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 167%, 123%, and 0%; risk-free interest rate of 4.62%, 5.14%, and 6.42%; and an expected life of four years.

        In January 2000, the Company adopted its 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Purchase Plan), under which a total of 4,166,666 shares of class A common stock were available for sale to its employees and employees of its majority-owned associated companies. Through the Purchase Plan, eligible employees can purchase class A common stock through payroll deductions and other cash contributions. The purchase price of each share of class A common stock under the Purchase Plan is equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Company's class A common stock on the first day of the plan period or (2) the fair market value on the date of purchase. Under the Purchase Plan, the Company sold 1,327,715 and 425,712 shares to employees in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

        During January 2000, the Company's employees acquired an average of 22.0% ownership interest in 13 associated companies, that the Company established in October and November 1999, for total consideration of $57,000. The Company recorded unearned stock-based compensation of $24,225,000, representing the excess of the fair value of the ownership interests over the consideration given by the Company's employees. The Company amortized $5,896,000 in connection with this acquisition of ownership through September 21, 2000. Effective September 22, 2000, the Company repurchased these minority interests. These repurchases were made at the initial investment cost plus 8% for the Company's executive officers and at two times the initial investment cost for the other employees that owned these shares. The aggregate purchase price for all of these interests was $93,000. As a result of these repurchases, the Company accelerated its recognition of the remaining $18,329,000 of stock-based compensation related to these shares.

        At December 31, 2001, the Company had $16,654,000 of unearned stock-based compensation. The Company expects to amortize this unearned stock-based compensation as follows: 2002—$8,270,000; 2003—$8,002,000; and 2004—$382,000.

    Incentive Program

        The Company maintains an incentive program (the Pool), whereby certain of the Company's employees are given bonuses in the event there is an appreciation in value of the Company's interest in any of its associated companies, when and if these associated companies experience a liquidity event. The portion of the divine, inc. appreciation that is credited to the Pool is adjusted as deemed necessary by the Company's management. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company allocated to the Pool 126,497 of the Company's 2,462,267 shares of Sequoia Software Corporation (Sequoia). Sequoia,

94



which has been an associated company of the Company since November 1999, had an initial public offering in 2000. The Sequoia shares in the Pool were distributed to the Company's participating employees in February 2001.

    Deferred Savings Plan

        On January 1, 2000, the Company established a deferred savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan enables employees to reduce their taxable income by contributing up to 20% of their salary to the plan. The Company made a 3% discretionary contribution to the plan on behalf of each employee regardless of their contribution rate through December 31, 2001. The Company's contributions are 100% vested immediately upon contribution. The Company made discretionary contributions of $2,472,000 and $1,518,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company no longer makes contributions to the plan on behalf of its employees. The Company may or may not make similar contributions in the future.

The agreed-upon purchase price for the related put and call options is $0.53 per

96



share. As such, for one year beginning on April 23, 2002, Mr. Szlam has the right to sell to the Company, and the Company has a separate right to buy from Mr. Szlam, up to 11,388,000 divine shares at $0.53 per share.

        Additionally, Mr. Szlam is affiliated with Szlam Partners, L.P. and Melita House, Inc., who own the properties on which eshare's U.S. and United Kingdom headquarters, respectively, are located. In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of eshare, the Company purchased real estate options from both Szlam Partners and Melita House. Upon the closing of the eshare merger, the Company paid Szlam Partners $3,702,978 for a ten-year option to purchase eshare's property in the U.S. for $14,560,000 and paid Melita House $2,047,022 for a ten-year option to purchase eshare's property in the U.K. for £5,714,668 ($8,295,000 at December 31, 2001). Under these real estate option agreements, Szlam Partners and Melita House agreed not to raise the rental amounts due under, or otherwise adversely modify, the leases for these properties so long as the Company is not in default under the leases.

        FleetBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. (Robertson Stephens) was an underwriter of the Company's initial public offering. BancBoston Capital, Inc., an affiliate of Robertson Stephens, purchased 955,181 shares of the Company's class C convertible common stock for $8,597,000 in a private placement concurrent with the Company's initial public offering in July 2000.

        The Company's Chief Executive Officer owns 33.3% of Blackhawk, LLC (Blackhawk). In July 2000, the Company purchased from Blackhawk the real property on which to construct a planned office facility in Chicago, Illinois. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company paid Blackhawk $11,111,000, which included the purchase price and reimbursed costs for that real property and which also included $350,000 in payments for an option to lease or purchase that property. During the period from July 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, the Company paid Blackhawk $300,000 for an option to lease or purchase that property.

        The Company's Chief Executive officer owns 33.3% of Habitat-Kahney, LLC (Habitat). In January 2000, the Company entered into a ten-year facility lease with Habitat. The Company's rent under this lease is $730,080 per year, with an annual 2% increase.

        During January 2000, a subsidiary of the Company paid $1,815,000 to Platinum Entertainment, Inc. and paid $200,000 into an escrow account for certain licensing rights of Platinum Entertainment, Inc. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, its President and its Chief Financial Officer served as directors of Platinum Entertainment, Inc. during 2000.

(23) Segment Information

        The Company has two operating segments: the software, services and hosting segment and the divine interVentures segment. The software, services and hosting segment encompasses the operations surrounding the Company's core strategy of delivering extended enterprise solutions. The divine interVentures segment encompasses the operations of the Company's remaining portfolio of associated companies, focusing primarily on e-commerce and vertical markets. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income from operations. The Company does not allocate total assets to its segments; however, all of the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets are held within the software, services and hosting segment at December 31, 2001.

        Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This standard is based on a management approach, which

97



requires segmentation based upon the Company's internal organization and disclosure of revenue and operating loss based upon internal accounting methods. Segment results are as follows:

 
  Year ended December 31, 2001
 
 
  Software/
Services/Hosting

  divine
interVentures

  divine, inc.

  (in thousands)

Net loss applicable to common stockholders   $ (338,715 ) $ (31,109 ) $ (369,824 )
   
 
 
 

        Because the Company operated under only one segment during the year ended December 31, 2000 and the period ended December 31, 1999, segment information is not included for these periods.
