See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements." F-3 GLOBALNET FINANCIAL.COM, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (Unaudited) (1) FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements of GlobalNet Financial.com, Inc. (the "Company" or "GLBN") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents representing options, warrants and contingently issuable shares have not been included as they would be antidilutive. Certain amounts in 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. (2) FAILED ACQUISITION AND RELATED CHARGES On August 17, 2000, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Telescan, Inc. ("Telescan"), an Internet services provider to financial and publishing industries, as well as providing proprietary analytics and content to investors. During the due diligence period, the companies determined that each of their strategies would be best served if pursued separately. On September 25, 2000, the Company signed a termination agreement with Telescan. As part of the termination agreement, the Company entered into a share exchange in which 272,500 shares of the Company's stock held by Telescan, valued at $2.0 million, were exchanged for 545,000 shares of Telescan held by the Company, for which the Company recorded a realized loss of $7.4 million. In addition, the Company purchased 276,495 shares of its Common stock from Telescan at $6.00 per share, valued at $1.66 million, and would pay $250,000 to cover some of Telescan's expenses associated with the merger. The common stock the Company purchased from Telescan is shown as treasury stock as of September 30, 2000 and the Company recorded a liability of $1.91 million for the shares and expenses that was subsequently paid. In addition, the Company expensed $1.1 million of acquisition costs and wrote-off $923,000 of non-cash compensatory costs related to the failed acquisition in September 2000. (3) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES With the appointment of Tom Hodgson as the Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") on September 27, 2000, the Company set about a plan of restructuring the Company. As part of the restructuring plan, the former President and CEO remained Chairman of the Board of Directors, but as a non-employee director. In addition, several other positions in both the London and Los Angeles offices were terminated as the Company pursues a new operational structure to simplify the lines of business. As of September 30, 2000, the Company recorded approximately $1.4 million in restructuring charges related to termination payments to identified employees, as well as for executive leased office space in Los Angeles that the Company no longer needed. (4) BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company and its subsidiaries have three reportable segments. The Company operates Internet websites, broker/dealers, including an online trading company, and has a corporate administration function. The Company's Internet websites provide comprehensive, internet-based electronic publishing of unique financial content and services. The Company's broker/dealers segment consists of traditional and online securities sales, including equity securities, options and mutual funds as well as acting as placement agents in private placements, public offerings and providing financial advisory services. Information with respect to the Company's reportable segments follows:

(6) VALUATION OF SECURITIES Investments in companies that GLBN owns less than a 20% interest are reviewed for appropriate classification at the time of purchase and re-evaluated as of each balance sheet date. Investments held by GLBN as available-for-sale securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as "Accumulated other comprehensive income", a separate component of stockholders' equity. Unrealized gains and losses on securities held by the broker/dealers are recognized as operating income or loss in the statement of operations. Securities owned, which are listed on a national securities exchange, are valued at their last reported sales price. Securities which trade over-the-counter are valued at the "bid" price. Securities that do not have a readily ascertainable market value are valued at their estimated fair value as determined by management. Management considers fair value to be cost unless the value has deteriorated or where later investments have been concluded by a significant outside investor, then the investment is valued at the last per share sales price paid unless circumstances dictate a lower valuation. (7) ARIZONA TECHNICAL OFFICE SPIN OFF In June 2000, the Arizona technical office spun off from the Company and formed 24x7 Development.com, Inc. ("24x7"). The Company was given 5,000,000 shares in 24x7, valued at $67,803, representing the business assets given up. On July 31, 2000, 24x7 announced that it was merging with Digital Bridge, Inc. ("Digital Bridge"). As a result of the merger, the Company's shares in 24x7 converted to 2,000,000 shares of Digital Bridge at a value of $.94 per share for a realized gain of $1.8 million. The Company still used the services of 24x7 for its website maintenance for the period June through October 2000, while technical support for the Company transitioned to the Cyberwolf technical department in the United Kingdom. Through September 30, 2000, the Company paid 24x7 $600,000 in website maintenance costs, included in general and administrative expenses. (8) EQUITY INVESTMENTS On February 1, 2000, the Company contributed 2.5 million Canadian dollars or $1.7 million for its 50% equity interest in Canada Invest Holdings, a holding company which owns a registered securities dealer, Canada Direct, and a financial website company, Canada-iNvest.com. Canada-iNvest was created as a result of the joint venture agreement dated June 25, 1999 between the Company and National Bank Financial. In March 2000, the Company created Global EuroNet Group, Inc. ("GEN"), a digital commerce investment and operating company. The Company invested $3.2 million for 2,895,000 shares or approximately 25% of GEN. GEN raised additional $43.2 million in equity capital contributed by successful digital commerce, Internet, industrial and financial concerns and entrepreneurs from North America, the United Kingdom and Europe for which the Company recorded a gain against additional paid in capital of approximately $7.8 million on its 23.6% equity interest as of June 30, 2000. In January and March 2000, the Company contributed an additional $2.6 million (or 1.7 million British pounds) to GlobeNet Direct.com, Limited, a company offering online trading of United Kingdom securities through its platform, www.StockAcademy.com, in full consideration for the Company's 33.3% equity interest. In May 2000, the Company contributed an additional $1.0 million to MatchbookFX Holdings, Inc. (formerly MatchbookFX, LLC) and was issued shares of preferred stock that will be redeemed upon subsequent third party financing. On July 28, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement terminating any previous arrangements with Twice Sim, S.p.A. ("Twice Sim"), an affiliated partner in the Company's Italia-iNvest.com, S.p.A. equity investment. In accordance with such agreement, the Company gave a 10% beneficial interest in Canada Invest Holdings ("Canada"), a 50% equity investment of the Company, to Twice Sim. The value of this 10% interest, approximately $287,000, was charged to non-cash compensatory expense and the Company began recording its equity loss from Canada at 40%. In addition, the Company was to sell half of its 8% interest in EO plc ("EO") to Twice Sim. On August 4, 2000, the Company sold 4% of its interest to Twice Sim for $1.5 million. On August 25, 2000, the Company exercised its option to increase its interest from 4% to 29.9% of EO plc ("EO"), an internet company in the United Kingdom focusing on the distribution of new equity securities (IPOs) and securities of unlisted companies seeking new capital to retail investors, through a share swap. The value of the Company's common stock payable to EO totals $15.3 million and will be paid in common shares using the 20 day trading average of the Company's stock price for the period ending January 31, 2001, with a minimum conversion share price of $8.00 per share. If such shares had been issued as of September 30, 2000, the Company would have issued 1.8 million common shares for its 29.9% interest in EO. During the quarter ending September 30, 2000, due to the change in the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over NewMedia Spark, Plc. ("NewMedia Spark"), not exclusive of the dilution of the Company's investment from 33.3% to 8.3%, the Company is no longer equity accounting for its investment in NewMedia Spark. The value of the Company's NewMedia Spark investment was reclassified to available for sale securities and was carried at fair market value of $24.6 million at September 30, 2000.

(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In 1999, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $100,000 to secure future rent payments and leasehold improvements at the London office of an affiliate. The letter of credit is secured by a money market account. In April 2000, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $441,745 to secure future rent payments at a new office in Los Angeles, California. In September 2000, the Company terminated its commitment to this new office space due to the Company's restructuring and recorded rent termination expense of $275,000. In May 2000, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $1,735,425 to secure future rent payments at office space in New York, New York. The Company anticipates subleasing portions of the office space to affiliates and other third parties. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit. In 1999, International Capital Growth ("ICG"), a subsidiary of the Company, was served with a complaint, in which ICG was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit alleging damages of approximately $1,000,000 plus interest and punitive damages, with respect to certain investments made by the plaintiffs in a company called Waste Systems International, Inc. ("WSI"), for which ICG acted as a financial consultant and placement agent in connection with a private offering. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made numerous fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations to the plaintiffs, that the plaintiffs invested in WSI based on those fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations and that the misrepresentations were the direct and proximate cause of injuries suffered by the plaintiffs. ICG and its co-defendants filed a motion for summary judgment which was heard by the court on October 21, 1999. On June 28, 2000, the court issued a Memorandum of Decision granting the motion for summary judgment and dismissing the plaintiffs' complaints against all defendants. By order dated October 31, 2000, the Court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for New Trial, on Alternatively, to Alter or Amend Judgment, which ICG and its co-defendants had opposed. Plaintiffs have indicated that they are likely to take an appeal, and, should they choose to do so, must file a Notice of Appeal by November 30, 2000. Given the court's decision, management believes it appropriate that no provision be made in the accompanying financial statements for any potential liability. In September 2000, an action was commenced against the Company and certain of its officers and directors by Daniel Uslander and Ronald Comerchero in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Mr. Uslander and Mr. Comerchero, who are minority shareholders and directors of GlobalNet Securities, Corp., a registered broker/dealer in which the Company owns the majority interest, allege, among other things, that the defendants are in breach of the stock purchase agreement and exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased its interest in GlobalNet Securities, Corp. The complaint in the action seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to defend the claims vigorously. Management believes it appropriate that no provision be made in the accompanying financial statements for any potential liability. (12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 2, 2000, the Company contributed an additional $730,000 (or 500,000 British pounds) to GlobeNet Direct.com, Limited for non-cumulative redeemable preferred stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW GlobalNetFinancial.com, Inc. (the "Company" or "GlobalNetFinancial") is a rapidly expanding international financial portal providing online financial news, investment tools and transaction services. The Company has developed a global network of country-centric financial content websites in local market language intrinsically linked to transaction execution platforms, in order to position itself as an international financial services provider. The Company's business model is to capture traffic for its financial content sites as a result of partnering with leading Internet players and then to drive visitors from its highly trafficked financial content websites to its network of transaction execution platforms in which it maintains substantial ownership interests. The Company conducts its financial content operations predominantly as the exclusive provider of financial content and in certain cases the exclusive provider of financial services for leading Internet Service Providers ("ISP's") and portals. The Company currently operates, directly or through joint ventures, financial content websites focusing on the financial markets of the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, Canada, France, Denmark, Holland, Scandinavia, Germany and Spain. The Company has recently expanded the distribution of its content and execution platforms to include broadband, television and mobile phone Wireless Application Protocol ("WAP") access. The Company has entered into agreements to provide financial news, content and e-finance commerce platforms, including online trading, to British Telecommunication's network of "WAP" mobile phone users, as well as to BTopenworld, BT's mass market broadband portal and high speed ADSL Internet service. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement with Telewest Flextech plc ("Telewest"), a leading provider of cable television services for homes and businesses in the United Kingdom to provide financial news, interactive content and e-finance commerce platforms on six channels via Telewest's network of broadband and cable subscribers. The traffic on the Company's financial content websites for the last four quarters was as follows: Q3 2000 Q2 2000 Q1 2000 Q4 1999 ------- ------- ------- ------- Page Views 55,800,000 44,129,190 57,542,323 26,394,897 During the first quarter of 2000, the Company launched Neder-iNvest.com, Danmark-iNvest.com and France-iNvest.com. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company launched Deutscher-Finanzmarkt.com, Espana-iNvest.com and Canada-iNvest.com, with its 50% partner, National Bank Financial. The overall page view increase in the third quarter is due to expansion in the new European websites. The Company's websites are designed to generate online trading of securities and other investment products. The Company has substantial equity interests in an international network of online transaction businesses, including online trading for North American and European stocks, foreign exchange and other financial services, such as insurance. The Company has relaunched its U.S. securities online trading platform and rebranded it under the name of www.AladdinTrader.com, launched www.Matchbookfx.com for global foreign exchange trading, www.InsuranceWide.com, offering a full spectrum of insurance products in the United Kingdom and www.StockAcademy.com, its platform for the online trading of United Kingdom securities. The Company is currently developing additional websites and online trading platforms. The Company's business model consists of generating revenues from its online trading platform as well as from advertising and E-commerce and participating in the earnings of the other transaction execution platforms in which it maintains ownership interests. In addition, the Company is seeking to create shareholder and balance sheet value as a result of creating joint ventures with and/or investments in companies which have the ability to become public or be acquired over the short term. Management believes that the opportunities open to the Company are driven by the following principal factors: o long term sustainable growth in usage of the Internet nationally and internationally; o an increasing acceptance of the Internet as a secure medium through which to conduct e-commerce; o world-wide demand for financial news, information and investment tools; and o the positioning of the Company to capitalize upon the anticipated growth in the number of online financial transactions in Europe. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The Company cautions readers that certain important factors may affect the Company's actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that may be deemed to have been made in this Report or that are otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect the Company's results include, but are not limited to, the Company's limited operating history and prior operating losses and accumulated deficit, the Company's dependence on advertising revenue and sponsorship, the Company's ability to attract and retain quality management needed for the Company's expanded operations, various regulatory requirements of its securities business, and the Company's possible inability to compete in the advertising and domestic or international Internet markets. The Company is also subject to other risks detailed herein or detailed from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), including the risk factors described in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Commission on March 30, 2000. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 OPERATING REVENUE Advertising revenue from the Company's financial content websites increased by $33,105 or 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 for the comparable prior year period. The advertising revenue increase primarily relates to the Company's Norwegian website. Subscription revenue increased by $171,137 or 100% from the comparable period in 1999 due to subscription services on the Company's Norwegian website. Commission income increased by $1.6 million or 100% from the comparable three month period in 1999 largely due to the Company's new broker/dealer subsidiary, Dalton Kent, which the Company acquired in August 2000. Net gains on principal transactions increased by $1.0 million or 100% over the third quarter last year due to Dalton Kent's operations. Other revenue increased by $605,691 or 100% from the comparable period in 1999. Other revenue primarily relates to consulting fees earned by GlobalNet Financial for introducing various business parties to each other, fees from the sale of broadcast real time information on the Company's websites and other investment income from Dalton Kent. OPERATING EXPENSES Cost of advertising revenue decreased by $68,557 or 91% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the prior three month period in 1999, due to some credits being recorded in the current quarter. Commission expense increased by $1.1 million or 2,525% from the comparable prior year period primarily due to commissions on Dalton Kent's income. General and administrative expenses increased by $14.9 million or 326% from the prior year three month period. Excluding failed acquisition costs of $1.1 million and restructuring charges of $1.4 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2000, general and administrative expenses increased by $12.4 million or 273% to $17.0 million as compared to $4.6 million in the comparable three month period ending September 30, 1999. Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 is $7.3 million in non-cash compensatory and licensing expenses, an increase of $6.0 million or 496% from the comparable three month period in 1999. Part of this increase in non-cash compensatory and licensing expenses is due to $1.9 million in accelerated write-offs on licenses that no longer have any future value to the Company due to change in technology needs of the Company's new U.S. online platform, AladdinTrader.com, and a $923,000 write-off of Telescan non-cash compensatory expenses due to the termination of contractual obligations. In addition, $1.2 million in non-cash compensatory costs related to the Company contributing its investment in Dalton Kent to a 94.2% owned subsidiary was also recorded in the quarter. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses of $6.4 million or 192% is primarily attributable to an increase in employee salary and benefits of $2.5 million, $664,000 increase in advertising and promotional costs, $560,000 increase in content and webserver hosting costs, $359,000 in clearing, execution and brokerage costs and $1.4 million increase in various branch office costs for Company's websites throughout Europe. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.1 million or 666% compared to the prior three month period in 1999 due to goodwill amortization from the Company's acquisitions in 2000 and amortization of the Company's licensing and promotion agreements, including $723,000 in accelerated amortization of licenses that no longer have any future value to the Company due to change in technology needs. NON-OPERATING ITEMS Interest income increased by $602,778 or 365% compared to the third quarter in 1999, due to higher cash balances and certificates of deposit accounts in the current year. Net realized and unrealized losses on investments increased by $6.1 million or 6,294% primarily related to a $7.4 million realized loss on the Telescan stock exchange swap in the third quarter of 2000, offset by a $1.8 million realized gain from the conversion of the Company's shares in 24x7 Development.com, Inc., formerly the Company's Arizona technical department, to shares in Digital Bridge, Inc. upon the merger of the two companies, as well as an increase of $411,000 in unrealized losses on the Company's broker/dealer portfolio of securities. Equity in losses of unconsolidated companies and joint ventures increased by $1.5 million or 7,128% from the prior year quarter. The Company's equity losses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 are primarily due to unrealized losses from the Company's execution platform equity joint ventures. NET LOSS The Company's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased by $22.5 million or 482% compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding $5.3 million in general and administrative expenses, consisting of $1.1 million in failed acquisition costs, $1.4 million in restructuring charges and $2.8 million in accelerated write-offs of non-cash compensatory and licensing costs, $723,000 in depreciation and amortization related to accelerated write-off of licenses and $7.4 million in non-operating realized losses related to the Telescan share exchange from the quarter ending September 30, 2000, the Company's net loss was $13.8 million, an increase of $9.1 million or 196% as compared to a net loss of $4.7 million for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of $13.0 million, including an increase of $3.2 million in other non-cash compensatory and licensing expenses. COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 OPERATING REVENUE Advertising revenue increased by $446,377 or 231% over the nine months ending September 30, 1999. Advertising revenue primarily relates to the Company's UK-iNvest.com website, as well as the Company's Norwegian website. Subscription revenue increased by $433,348 or 100% compared to the nine months ending September 30, 1999 due to subscription services on the Company's Norwegian website. Commission income increased by $2.2 million or 100% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to the acquisition of Dalton Kent in August 2000. Net gains on principal transactions increased by $1.0 million or 100% from the comparable prior year period due to Dalton Kent's operations. Private placement fees decreased by $224,682 or 46% from the nine month period in the prior year due to the Company's de-emphasis on investment banking. Other revenue increased by $674,893 or 100% from the comparable period in the prior year. Other revenue primarily relates to consulting fees earned by GlobalNet Financial for introducing various business parties to each other, fees from the sale of broadcast real time information on the Company's websites and other investment income from Dalton Kent. OPERATING EXPENSES Cost of advertising revenue increased by $135,230 or 139% from the comparable period in 1999 due to the corresponding increase in advertising revenue. Commission expense increased by $1,105,226 or 509% for the comparable period due to Dalton Kent's operations in the current year. General and administrative expenses increased by $29.1 million or 240% as compared to the same nine month period in 1999. Excluding failed acquisition costs of $1.1 million and restructuring charges of $1.4 million incurred in 2000, general and administrative expenses increased by $26.6 million or 220% from the comparable nine month period in 1999. Included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is $13.0 million in non-cash compensatory and licensing expenses, an increase of $7.4 million or 131% from the comparable nine month period in 1999. Part of this increase in non-cash compensatory and licensing expenses is due to $1.9 million in accelerated write-offs in the third quarter of 2000 on licenses that no longer have any future value to the Company due to change in technology needs of the Company's new U.S. online platform, AladdinTrader.com, and a $923,000 write-off of Telescan non-cash compensatory expenses due to the termination of contractual obligations. In addition, $1.2 million in non-cash compensatory costs related to the Company contributing its investment in Dalton Kent to a 94.2% owned subsidiary was also recorded. The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses of $19.3 million or 296% is primarily attributable to a $6.4 million increase in employee salary and benefits associated with the increase in the number of employees, a $2.3 million increase in advertising and promotional costs, a $1.8 million increase in content and webserver hosting costs and $1.4 million in professional and legal fees incurred in setting up the Company's websites throughout Europe and joint ventures with various strategic partners in the United States and Europe. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.0 million or 437% from the comparable period in 1999, due to goodwill amortization from the Company's acquisitions in 2000 and amortization of the Company's licensing and promotion agreements, including $723,000 in accelerated amortization of licenses that no longer have any future value to the Company due to change in technology needs. NON-OPERATING ITEMS Interest income increased by $2.2 million or 715% compared to the prior year period in 1999, due to higher cash balances and certificates of deposit accounts in 2000. Net realized and unrealized losses on investments increased by $7.9 million or 597% compared to the same period in 1999. This decrease was related to a $7.4 million realized loss on the Telescan stock exchange swap in the third quarter of 2000, offset by a $1.8 million realized gain from the conversion of the Company's shares in 24x7 Development.com, Inc., formerly the Company's Arizona technical department, to shares in Digital Bridge, Inc. upon the merger of the two companies, as well as an increase of $2.2 million in unrealized losses on the Company's broker/dealer portfolio of securities. Equity in losses of unconsolidated companies and joint ventures increased by $1.7 million or 8,467% as compared to the prior year period. This increase was largely due to losses from the various execution platform equity investments, offset by earnings from NewMedia Spark through the first six months of 2000 when it was still reported as an equity investment. NET LOSS The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by $37.8 million or 342% from the prior year comparable nine month period. Excluding $5.3 million in general and administrative expenses, consisting of $1.1 million in failed acquisition costs, $1.4 million in restructuring charges and $2.8 million in accelerated write-offs of licenses, $723,000 in depreciation and amortization related to accelerated write-off of licenses and $7.4 million in non-operating realized losses related to the Telescan share exchange from 2000, the Company's net loss was $35.6 million, an increase of $24.5 million or 222%, as compared to a net loss of $11.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of $29.1 million, including an increase of $4.6 million in other non-cash compensatory and licensing expenses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents, including certificates of deposit and United States treasury bills, totals $51,155,775 as of September 30, 2000. Net cash used in operating activities increased by $15,234,693 to $24,881,714 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $9,647,021 in the comparable nine month period in 1999, due to lower earnings resulting from increased expenditures relating to the start-up costs for the Company's internet financial websites and online transactional activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1,320,404 from net cash used of $2,943,296 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to net cash used of $1,622,892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase was largely due to increses in investments in unconsolidated companies and joint ventures of $6.1 million, investments in securities of $7.0 million and acquisitions of $3.9 million, offset by the collection on certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury bills of $18.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $5,046,076 to $31,311,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $26,265,111 in the comparable nine month period in 1999. Capital in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 has been provided by the exercise of options and warrants totaling $23.1 million, including $21.4 million on the option exercise by Telescan, and collection of $8.1 million in remaining proceeds from the public offering of the Company's Class A common stock on the Alternative Investment Market in the United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had no material capital commitments other than under the SOL distribution agreement which will require a portion of up to $3.0 million to become due upon certain review dates in 2001. Management believes based upon its current business plan that the Company has enough cash and marketable securities to fund operations through at least the next eighteen months. Long-term liquidity needs will depend upon the Company's ability to generate profits and the rate of its expansion. VARIABILITY OF RESULTS The Company anticipates that its underlying losses will continue at least through the remainder of the year 2000. The acquisition of Dalton Kent in August 2000 significantly increased both operating revenue and expense during the third quarter of 2000 and is expected to at least break even in 2000. However, the start-up and uncertain nature of the Company's websites and online transaction joint ventures makes it difficult to forecast when substantial revenues will be generated or when profitability will commence. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In 1999, International Capital Growth ("ICG"), a subsidiary of the Company, was served with a complaint, in which ICG was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit alleging damages of approximately $1,000,000 plus interest and punitive damages, with respect to certain investments made by the plaintiffs in a company called Waste Systems International, Inc. ("WSI"), for which ICG acted as a financial consultant and placement agent in connection with a private offering. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made numerous fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations to the plaintiffs, that the plaintiffs invested in WSI based on those fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations and that the misrepresentations were the direct and proximate cause of injuries suffered by the plaintiffs. ICG and its co-defendants filed a motion for summary judgment which was heard by the court on October 21, 1999. On June 28, 2000, the court issued a Memorandum of Decision granting the motion for summary judgment and dismissing the plaintiffs' complaints against all defendants. By order dated October 31, 2000, the Court denied Plaintiffs' Motion for New Trial, on Alternatively, to Alter or Amend Judgment, which ICG and its co-defendants had opposed. Plaintiffs have indicated that they are likely to take an appeal, and, should they choose to do so, must file a Notice of Appeal by November 30, 2000. Plaintiffs have indicated that they are likely to take an appeal. Given the court's decision, management believes it appropriate that no provision be made in the accompanying financial statements for any potential liability. In September 2000, an action was commenced against the Company and certain of its officers and directors by Daniel Uslander and Ronald Comerchero in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Mr. Uslander and Mr. Comerchero, who are minority shareholders and directors of GlobalNet Securities, Corp., a registered broker/dealer in which the Company owns the majority interest, allege, among other things, that the defendants are in breach of the stock purchase agreement and exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased its interest in GlobalNet Securities, Corp. The complaint in the action seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to defend the claims vigorously. ITEM 2.
