Item 1. Business

Overview

         We conduct our business through our subsidiaries. Through our 80%
owned MSV Investors, LLC subsidiary ("MSV Investors Subsidiary"), we are a
participant in the Mobile Satellite Venture, L.P. joint venture ("MSV Joint
Venture"), a joint venture that also includes TMI Communications, Inc.
("TMI"), Motient Corporation ("Motient"), and certain other investors
(collectively, the "Other MSV Investors"). The MSV Joint Venture is currently
a provider of mobile digital voice and data communications services via
satellite in North America. We are an active participant in the MSV Joint
Venture and have designated three members of the 12-member board of directors
of the MSV Joint Venture's corporate general partner. In addition, in May
2002, we became affiliated with Miraxis, LLC ("Miraxis"), a development stage
company that has access to a Ka-band license with which it intends to provide
satellite based multi-channel, broadband data and video services in North
America.

         On February 10, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC") released an order (the "ATC Order") relating to an application
submitted by the MSV Joint Venture and certain of its competitors that could
greatly expand the scope of the MSV Joint Venture's business by permitting the
incorporation of ancillary terrestrial base stations (which we refer to as an
"ancillary terrestrial component" or "ATC") into its mobile satellite network.
A similar application is pending before Industry Canada, the FCC's counterpart
in Canada. The MSV Joint Venture cannot expand its mobile satellite services
("MSS") business using ATC base stations into Canada until this application
pending before Industry Canada is approved. With the FCC's issuance of the ATC
Order alone, however, we expect the MSV Joint Venture to enter a new stage of
development which will require significant future funding requirements and/or
a need for one or more strategic partners.

         Our current operations consist of actively participating in the MSV
Joint Venture, directing the operations of Miraxis and seeking other
complementary business opportunities. Our principal assets consist of our
interest in the MSV Joint Venture, a promissory note from Motient, our
interest in Miraxis, our remaining investments in our venture portfolio
companies and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. As a result
of uncertainty with respect to the ultimate collection on the Motient notes,
we recognized a reserve for the entire amount of these notes. See "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         As part of our regular on-going evaluation of business opportunities,
we are currently engaged in a number of separate and unrelated preliminary
discussions concerning possible joint ventures and other transactions
(collectively, the "Transactions"). We are in the early stages of such
discussions and have not entered into any agreement in principle with respect
to any of the Transactions. Prior to consummating any Transaction, we will
have to, among other things, initiate and satisfactorily complete a due
diligence investigation, negotiate the financial and other terms (including
price) and conditions of such Transaction, obtain appropriate board of
directors', regulatory and other necessary consents and approvals and secure
financing, to the extent deemed necessary. We cannot predict if any such
Transaction will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a financial
or other benefit to us.

         From 1998 through the third quarter of 2001, our principal business
was conducted through Rare Medium, Inc., which developed Internet e-commerce
strategies, business processes, marketing communications, branding strategies
and interactive content using Internet-based technologies and solutions. As a
result of the weakening of general economic conditions that caused many
companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business solutions and in
light of their performance and prospects, a decision to discontinue Rare
Medium, Inc.'s operations, along with those of its LiveMarket, Inc. subsidiary
("LiveMarket"), was made at the end of the third quarter of 2001.

         From 1999 through the first quarter of 2001, we made venture
investments by taking strategic minority equity positions in other
independently managed companies. Additionally, during that period, we
developed, managed and operated companies in selected Internet-focused market
segments ("Start-up Companies"). During the first quarter of 2001, we reduced
our focus on these businesses and substantially ceased providing funding to
our Start-up Companies. Additionally, we sold a majority of our equity
interests in the operations of three of our Start-up Companies: ChangeMusic
Network ("ChangeMusic") and ePrize in April 2001 and Regards.com in December
2001.

         As a result of the decision to discontinue the operations of Rare
Medium, Inc. and LiveMarket, the operating results reported in our statements
of operations as continuing operations include the consolidated results of us,
our MSV Investors Subsidiary, and our Start-up Companies through their
respective dates of sale or shutdown. The results of Rare Medium, Inc. and
LiveMarket are reflected as discontinued operations.

         We were incorporated in Delaware in 1985 as ICC Technologies, Inc.

MSV Joint Venture's Business

   Formation and Structure of MSV Joint Venture

         The MSV Joint Venture was originally formed in June 2000 as a
subsidiary of Motient. In November 2001, following the receipt of regulatory
and other governmental approvals, including approvals under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, by the FCC and by Canadian
regulatory authorities, Motient combined its existing satellite assets and
authorizations with certain assets and authorizations of the satellite
communications business of TMI, a subsidiary of Bell Canada Enterprises, and
these assets and authorizations were contributed to the MSV Joint Venture. The
assets and authorizations of the satellite business formerly owned by Motient
that were contributed to the MSV Joint Venture included a satellite with
coverage of most of North America and its surrounding waters and the
associated existing FCC licenses and authorizations. The assets and
authorizations of the satellite business contributed to the MSV Joint Venture
by TMI included a second satellite (technologically identical to the satellite
contributed to the MSV Joint Venture by Motient) with similar geographic
coverage, as well as the associated Canadian satellite licenses and
authorizations.

         Following the approvals described above and consistent with the terms
of an agreement that we entered into in October 2001 with the MSV Joint
Venture and certain other investors (the "MSV Joint Venture Agreement"), on
November 26, 2001, through our MSV Investors Subsidiary, we purchased a $50.0
million interest in the MSV Joint Venture in the form of a convertible note.
Immediately prior to the purchase of the convertible note, we contributed
$40.0 million to the MSV Investors Subsidiary and a group of unaffiliated
third parties collectively contributed $10.0 million. The note bears interest
at a rate of 10% per year, has a maturity date of November 26, 2006, and is
convertible at any time at our option into equity interests in the MSV Joint
Venture.

         On August 13, 2002, the MSV Joint Venture completed a rights offering
allowing its investors to purchase their pro rata share of an aggregate of
$3.0 million of newly issued convertible notes with terms similar to the
convertible note already held by our MSV Investors Subsidiary. Our MSV
Investors Subsidiary exercised its basic and over subscription rights and
purchased approximately $1.1 million of these additional convertible notes.

         Currently, the approximate ownership of the MSV Joint Venture's
equity interests, assuming conversion of all convertible notes, is as follows:
our MSV Investors Subsidiary, 30.9%; TMI, 25.9%; Motient, 33.3%; and the Other
MSV Investors, 9.9%. We are under no obligation to make any further investment
in our MSV Investors Subsidiary or in the MSV Joint Venture, but we may have
the opportunity to do so in the future. Because our interest in the MSV Joint
Venture is in the form of a note, we do not reflect the results of the MSV
Joint Venture's operations in our statements of operations.

   MSV Joint Venture's Current Business

         The MSV Joint Venture is currently a provider of mobile digital voice
and data communications services via satellite in North America.

         Satellite Voice and Data Services. The MSV Joint Venture's satellite
phone service supports two-way circuit-switched voice, facsimile and data
communication services. The MSV Joint Venture markets satellite telephone and
data services to businesses that have nationwide coverage requirements,
particularly those operating in geographic areas that lack significant
terrestrial coverage, such as natural resource companies, utilities and
telecommunications companies that require backup and restorable support, and
public safety organizations.

         Satellite Dispatch Service. The MSV Joint Venture's satellite
dispatch service allows voice communications among users in a customer-defined
group using a push-to-talk device. This service facilitates team-based,
contingency-driven operations of groups over wide and/or remote areas. The MSV
Joint Venture's targeted customer groups for satellite dispatch service
include oil and gas pipeline companies, utilities and telecommunications
companies with outside maintenance fleets, state and local public safety
organizations, and public service organizations who need to seamlessly link
resources on a nationwide basis.

         From providing these services, the MSV Joint Venture produces annual
revenue in excess of $25.0 million and nominal earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization.

   MSV Joint Venture's Strategy

         The MSV Joint Venture plans, subject to the receipt of further
regulatory and governmental approvals and authorizations, including certain
FCC authorizations and certain approvals by Canadian regulatory authorities,
to develop, build and operate a next-generation satellite system complemented
by an ancillary terrestrial component. Incorporation of ATC into the MSV Joint
Venture's service offering will require significant planning and capital.
While a decision on a specific development plan has not yet been made, such a
plan will require compliance with the parameters set forth by the ATC Order as
described below and other regulatory orders. In addition, development plans
will entail, at a minimum, finalizing technical specifications for satellites,
handsets and signal repeater equipment and selecting manufacturers for these
components. Moreover, manufacturing, supply, launch and installation contracts
will need to be negotiated and executed, and final development of network
protocols and software will need to be completed.

         In addition to development and launch of a next-generation satellite
system, build out of an ATC-enhanced network will require installation of a
network of ground repeaters in any given metropolitan area to enable
in-building signal penetration. Because of the time and expense required to
acquire and incorporate these components, it is anticipated that an ATC will
be phased in over time in various metropolitan areas. The FCC also requires
geostationary orbit satellite systems like the MSV Joint Venture's to maintain
a spare satellite.

   FCC's ATC Order

         On February 10, 2003, the FCC released the ATC Order, which could
greatly expand the scope of the MSV Joint Venture's business by permitting the
incorporation of an ATC into its mobile satellite network. In the ATC Order,
the FCC determined that it would serve the public interest to permit MSS
providers to incorporate an ATC into their satellite systems in three
frequency bands: Big LEO (where Globalstar and Iridium operate), L-band (where
the MSV Joint Venture and Inmarsat operate) and S-band (where ICO, Celsat,
Boeing and Iridium are licensed). Specifically, the ATC Order allows MSS
operators to seek authority to integrate an ATC into their satellite networks
for the purpose of enhancing their ability to offer high-quality, affordable
mobile services on land, in the air and over oceans without using any
additional spectrum resources beyond spectrum already allocated and authorized
by the FCC for MSS in these bands. A similar application by the MSV Joint
Venture is pending before Industry Canada. The MSV Joint Venture cannot begin
offering MSS with an ATC in Canada until that application is approved.

         The FCC's authorization of ATC for these MSS bands is subject to
conditions that are designed to ensure the integrity of the underlying MSS
offering and to prevent these services from becoming stand-alone terrestrial
offerings. Specifically, to include ATC in their satellite systems, the FCC
required that the MSV Joint Venture and other MSS operators must:

         o  launch (or have launched) and operate their own satellite
            facilities;

         o  provide substantial satellite service to the public;

         o  demonstrate compliance with geographic and temporal satellite
            coverage requirements;

         o  demonstrate that the satellite system's ATC will operate only
            within the licensee's "core" MSS spectrum;

         o  limit ATC operations only to the satellite system's authorized
            footprint;

         o  provide an integrated MSS and ATC service;

         o  not offer a terrestrial only service to consumers; and

         o  obtain handset certification for MSS ATC devices under the
            equipment authorization process in accordance with FCC rules.


         Accordingly, ATC operations of the MSV Joint Venture or other MSS
providers will not be permitted until such licensee has filed an application
with the FCC demonstrating compliance with these requirements. Once the FCC
approves such an application, terrestrial operations may commence.

         Although the FCC has stated that it does not intend to put
applications for ATC authority out for public comment, it has expressly
retained the discretion to do so where significant public policy issues are
raised. If the FCC places the MSV Joint Venture's ATC application out for
public comment, such action could significantly delay the grant of ATC to the
MSV Joint Venture.

         If the FCC approves an ATC application from the MSV Joint Venture, the
MSV Joint Venture will be permitted to reuse its satellite spectrum
terrestrially, allowing the MSV Joint Venture's customers to use handsets,
including phones, capable of operating inside of buildings and throughout
urban environments, which is currently not possible due to terrain blockage
from buildings and other urban structures that interrupt the satellite
signal's path. Terrestrial wireless providers strenuously opposed the FCC's
proposal to grant ATC, claiming, among other things, that the spectrum held by
the MSS licensees is worth billions of dollars if authorized for exclusive
terrestrial wireless use and, therefore, should be auctioned. Many of these
same terrestrial wireless providers have vowed to appeal the ATC Order, which
could result in changes to the terms of the ATC Order that are unfavorable to
the MSV Joint Venture or completely preclude the incorporation of an ATC in
MSS networks.

         Given that the ATC Order has authorized licensees in three satellite
bands to incorporate an ATC into their satellite networks, the MSV Joint
Venture may face competition in the provision of mobile satellite service
using an ATC from Big LEO and S-band licensees. Moreover, like the MSV Joint
Venture, Inmarsat offers mobile satellite service in the U.S. using the L-band
spectrum. Although Inmarsat has vigorously opposed the grant of ATC in the
L-band - claiming it would cause unacceptable interference to its satellites -
Inmarsat may reconsider its position now that ATC has been authorized and seek
approval to incorporate an ATC into its satellite service in the U.S., which
could further increase competition in the provision of satellite services
incorporating an ATC.

         Furthermore, if any of the competitors of the MSV Joint Venture
receive approval for their ATC applications prior to the MSV Joint Venture or
if the FCC grants more extensive or more favorable approvals to these
potential competitors, the MSV Joint Venture's ability to implement its
business strategy and compete effectively could also be harmed. In order to
address the interference concerns in the L-band raised by Inmarsat, the FCC
placed a limit on the number of terrestrial base stations that the MSV Joint
Venture may implement per any given 200 kHz channel of bandwidth. Moreover,
the MSV Joint Venture, like all MSS licensees incorporating an ATC, is
precluded from causing harmful interference to other services. If the MSV
Joint Venture is unable to implement an ATC due to the restriction on the
number of base stations or because it causes harmful interference to other
services, the MSV Joint Venture's business will be severely limited and the
value of our interest in the MSV Joint Venture will be significantly impaired.

         If the FCC authorizes the MSV Joint Venture to implement an ATC, the
value of our stake in the MSV Joint Venture could significantly increase;
however, even with ATC authority, the ability of the MSV Joint Venture to
succeed is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the
ability of the MSV Joint Venture to raise the capital necessary for the
implementation of the next generation satellite system and the widespread
implementation of an ATC or to identify and reach an agreement with one or
more strategic partners. Additional risks include the ability of the MSV Joint
Venture to attract and retain customers, as well as increased potential
competition from other satellite and wireless service providers.

   Additional FCC Actions Impacting the MSV Joint Venture

         Along with issuing the ATC Order granting ATC to MSS license holders
in the Big LEO bands, the L-band and the S-band, the FCC recently issued a
series of orders voiding the licenses of four of the eight S-band license
holders, including the license of an affiliate of the MSV Joint Venture. The
MSV Joint Venture has the economic rights, through a subsidiary, with respect
to this license. If the license remains voided, the MSV Joint Venture will be
unable to secure any economic benefit from this license. The affiliate is
expected to appeal this determination.

   Conditional Investment By the Other MSV Investors

         Pursuant to the MSV Joint Venture Agreement that we executed with our
joint venture partners in October 2001, in the event that the MSV Joint
Venture receives final regulatory approval from the FCC by March 31, 2003 for
its ATC applications, as those terms are defined in the MSV Joint Venture
Agreement, the Other MSV Investors are obligated to invest an additional $50.0
million in the MSV Joint Venture. Thereafter, the convertible notes held by
our MSV Investors Subsidiary will automatically convert into equity interests
and the approximate ownership of the MSV Joint Venture's equity interest would
be as follows: our MSV Investors Subsidiary, 23.7%; TMI, 19.9%; Motient,
25.6%; and the Other MSV Investors, 30.8%. While the ATC Order has been
issued, absent a renegotiation of the deadline for this contribution, we do
not believe the Other MSV Investors will be required to contribute the $50.0
million to the MSV Joint Venture.

Miraxis

         Miraxis is a development stage company that has access to a Ka-band
license with which it intends to provide satellite based multi-channel,
broadband data and video services in North America. We appoint two of the
seven directors of the manager of Miraxis. Additionally, we entered into a
management support agreement with Miraxis under which our President and Chief
Operating Officer provides certain services to Miraxis in exchange for
additional equity interests in Miraxis to be issued to us.

Customers

         Currently, as a result of discontinuing Rare Medium, Inc.'s
operations at the end of the third quarter of 2001, we do not directly have
any customers. However, the MSV Joint Venture, in which we are an active
participant, currently provides its mobile satellite communications services
to customers in North America. The MSV Joint Venture's significant customers
include Aether Systems, Wireless Matrix, Weather Services, EMS Technologies,
AT&T, MCI Worldcom, Stratos Global, the Red Cross, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and Infosat Communications.

Competition

         Currently, as a result of discontinuing Rare Medium, Inc.'s
operations at the end of the third quarter of 2001, we do not have any direct
competitors. However, the MSV Joint Venture competes in the wireless
communications industry which is highly competitive and is characterized by
continuing technological innovation. The MSV Joint Venture's competitors
primarily include wireless communications service providers in the following
markets:

         o     PCS/Cellular - PCS and cellular services presently serve the
               majority of mobile communications users in the United States.
               There are a large number of cellular and PCS carriers providing
               voice service throughout most of the densely populated regions
               of the United States, including Verizon Wireless, Cingular
               Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Sprint PCS and Nextel Communications.
               Numerous paging companies also provide services similar to
               those offered or proposed to be offered by the MSV Joint
               Venture.

         o     Mobile Satellite Services - A number of companies are selling
               or developing mobile satellite services utilizing a variety of
               satellite technologies that compete or will compete with the
               MSV Joint Venture's services. MSS are provided using either
               geostationary or non-geostationary satellite systems.

               Geostationary Earth Orbit Systems - Geostationary earth orbit
               ("GSO") satellite systems orbit approximately 22,000 miles
               above the earth's surface and appear fixed in the sky to an
               observer on earth. This high altitude allows a GSO system to
               cover much larger areas of the earth with a single satellite.
               Consequently, because fewer satellites are necessary, GSO
               satellite systems generally are less expensive to launch and
               operate than non-geostationary earth orbit ("NGSO") satellite
               systems. GSO satellites, however, face difficulties with time
               delay in the satellite signal given the distance that must be
               traveled for the signal to reach the satellite and return to
               the earth's surface, though recent developments in
               echo-canceling technology have significantly diminished the
               negative effects of this inherent time delay. The satellite
               signals of both NGSO and GSO satellite systems are unable to
               penetrate buildings without an ATC. The FCC recently authorized
               several companies to use mobile earth terminals in the United
               States over the Inmarsat GSO satellite system. The MSV Joint
               Venture's satellites use a GSO satellite architecture, as will
               its next generation system.

               Non-Geostationary Earth Orbit Systems - Unlike GSO satellite
               systems, NGSO satellite systems use satellites that orbit much
               closer to the earth's surface and appear to traverse the sky
               when viewed by an observer on the earth. The benefit of NGSO
               systems is the reduced time delay in transmitting and receiving
               signals to and from the satellite due to the satellite's
               proximity to the earth's surface. Because NGSO systems orbit
               closer to the earth, however, each satellite covers a smaller
               region of the earth's surface and, accordingly, many more
               satellites are required to provide global coverage, which
               generally makes NGSO systems more expensive to launch and
               operate. Globalstar's NGSO satellite communications service,
               which was launched in 2000, provides voice and data services in
               most areas of the world, including the service areas covered by
               the MSV Joint Venture. In addition, Iridium Satellite LLC
               provides satellite voice services using an NGSO satellite
               system. The Iridium service area overlaps with the service area
               of the MSV Joint Venture. Another company, New ICO Global
               Communications (Holdings) Limited, intends to launch commercial
               satellite services in 2004 over an NGSO system, and is expected
               to offer services including global Internet protocol services;
               Internet connectivity; data, voice and fax services; and other
               data communications services. New ICO and Iridium both have
               entered into and emerged from bankruptcy court protection.
               Globalstar is currently under bankruptcy court protection.

Employees

         As of December 31, 2002, we had six employees. We have entered into
employment agreements with all of our employees and, in general, require our
employees to sign confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements
that prohibit them from competing with us during their employment and for
various periods thereafter and limit access to and distribution of proprietary
information.

Government Regulation

         Currently, we are not subject to any direct governmental regulation
other than the securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly
owned companies, and laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally.
However, the mobile satellite communications business of the MSV Joint Venture
is subject to extensive government regulation in the United States and Canada.

         The ownership and operation of the MSV Joint Venture's mobile
satellite communications business is subject to the rules and regulations of
the FCC, which acts under the authority established by the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, and related federal laws, as well as Industry Canada.
Among other things, the FCC and Industry Canada allocate portions of the radio
frequency spectrum to certain services and grant licenses to and regulate
individual entities using that spectrum. The MSV Joint Venture operates
pursuant to various licenses granted by the FCC and Industry Canada.

         In response to the applications by the MSV Joint Venture and certain
other MSS providers, the FCC has issued an order permitting the incorporation
of an ATC into mobile satellite services in various frequency bands, including
the Big LEO bands where Iridium and Globalstar provide service, as well as
other mobile satellite frequency bands, subject to a set of conditions being
met. The failure of the MSV Joint Venture to meet these conditions and obtain
the requisite regulatory authorization for an ATC-enhanced, next generation
system may harm the MSV Joint Venture's ability to implement its business
strategy and compete effectively, which may cause our joint venture interest
in the MSV Joint Venture to depreciate or never appreciate in value, and this
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. See "Risk
Factors - The value of our interest in the MSV Joint Venture may never
appreciate or may decline significantly in the future because the MSV Joint
Venture is entering a new stage of development and its business involves a
high degree of risk" under this Item 1.

Risk Factors

         You should carefully consider the risks described below in evaluating
our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only
ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may
also impair our operations and business. If we do not successfully address any
of the risks described below, there could be a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, operating results and business, and the trading price of
our common stock may decline. We cannot assure you that we will successfully
address these risks.

   The value of our interest in the MSV Joint Venture may never appreciate or
   may decline significantly in the future because the MSV Joint Venture is
   entering a new stage of development and its business involves a high degree
   of risk.

         Our interest in the MSV Joint Venture represents a substantial
portion of the value of our total assets. The value of our investment in the
MSV Joint Venture may never appreciate in value or may decline rapidly in
value in the future. With the FCC's issuance of the ATC Order, we expect the
MSV Joint Venture to enter a new stage of development which will require
significant future funding requirements and/or a need for one or more
strategic partners. The MSV Joint Venture's business is subject to a number of
significant risks and uncertainties, including (1) rapid technological change,
(2) intense competition and (3) extensive government regulation by the FCC in
the United States and by Industry Canada in Canada.

   The inability of the MSV Joint Venture to meet certain conditions in order
   to implement an ATC system may have negative consequences on the value of
   our interest in the MSV Joint Venture.

         The FCC's authorization of ATC for the MSS bands is subject to
conditions that are designed to ensure the integrity of the underlying MSS
offering and to prevent these services from becoming stand-alone terrestrial
offerings. Specifically, to include ATC in their satellite systems, the FCC
required that the MSV Joint Venture and other MSS operators must:

         o  launch (or have launched) and operate their own satellite
            facilities;

         o  provide substantial satellite service to the public;

         o  demonstrate compliance with geographic and temporal satellite
            coverage requirements;

         o  demonstrate that the satellite system's ATC will operate only
            within the licensee's "core" MSS spectrum;

         o  limit ATC operations only to the satellite system's authorized
            footprint;

         o  provide an integrated MSS and ATC service;

         o  not offer a terrestrial only service to consumers; and

         o  obtain handset certification for MSS ATC devices under the
            equipment authorization process in accordance with FCC rules.

         Accordingly, ATC operations of the MSV Joint Venture or other MSS
providers will not be permitted until such licensee has filed an application
with the FCC demonstrating compliance with these requirements. Once the FCC
approves such an application, terrestrial operations may commence. There can
be no assurances that the MSV Joint Venture will meet the conditions necessary
to receive the requisite approval of an application to implement an ATC system.

   The FCC may amend the initial ATC Order which may have negative
   consequences on our interest in the MSV Joint Venture.

         Terrestrial wireless providers strenuously opposed the FCC's proposal
to grant ATC, claiming that the spectrum held by the MSS providers including
the MSV Joint Venture, is worth billions of dollars if authorized for
terrestrial wireless use and should be auctioned. Their opposition is expected
to continue and could cause the amendment of the ATC Order in a manner
unfavorable to the MSV Joint Venture and other MSS providers. If the FCC
changes certain aspects of the ATC Order following an appeal, the value of the
ATC Order may be impaired. While the MSV Joint Venture along with its members,
including us, will continue to deploy our resources to support the ATC Order
and seek authorization from the FCC to implement an ATC, there can be no
assurances that we will be successful.

   If it implements an ATC system, the MSV Joint Venture may face increased
   competition which may have negative consequences on our interest in the MSV
   Joint Venture.

         The ATC Order permits the MSV Joint Venture, which currently operates
in the L-band, as well as the MSS operators in the Big LEO band and the
S-band, to implement ATCs, subject to meeting the FCC's conditions.
Accordingly, the MSV Joint Venture will likely face serious competition in the
provision of MSS using an ATC. Moreover, like the MSV Joint Venture, Inmarsat
offers mobile satellite service in the U.S. using the L-band spectrum.
Although Inmarsat has vigorously opposed the grant of ATC in the L-band -
claiming it would cause unacceptable interference to its satellites - if the
ATC Order remains unchanged and the MSV Joint Venture meets the requirement
set forth in the ATC Order and receives authorization to operate an ATC
system, Inmarsat may reconsider its position and seek approval to incorporate
an ATC into its satellite service in the U.S.

         Furthermore, if any of the competitors of the MSV Joint Venture
receive approval for their final applications for an ATC prior to the MSV
Joint Venture or if the FCC grants more extensive or more favorable approvals
to these potential competitors, the MSV Joint Venture's ability to implement
its business strategy and compete effectively could also be harmed. If an ATC
does not receive final regulatory approval or if the MSV Joint Venture is
unable to implement an ATC due to restrictions imposed by the FCC or
otherwise, the MSV Joint Venture's business will be severely limited and the
value of our interest in the MSV Joint Venture will be significantly impaired.

   The MSV Joint Venture has experienced, and may continue to experience,
   anomalies with its satellites which may have negative consequences on our
   interest in the MSV Joint Venture.

         Satellite services face numerous uncertainties that are unique to the
industry. Satellite launches are inherently risky and launch failures occur.
Moreover, once in orbit, satellites can experience failures or technical
anomalies that could damage the ability to provide services to customers. The
MSV Joint Venture's satellites have experienced anomalies. No adequate
assurance can be given that such anomalies will not impair the MSV Joint
Venture's business or that they will not occur on future satellites.
Satellites cannot be repaired once in orbit and, accordingly, even a technical
anomaly short of total failure of the satellite could limit the usefulness of
the satellite. The MSV Joint Venture's application to incorporate an ATC
contemplates that these services will be provided using one or more
next-generation satellites. Accordingly, the MSV Joint Venture will face the
risks attendant with launching new satellites in the near term should specific
authorizations to launch be received.

   The MSV Joint Venture may be unable to raise the additional capital
   necessary to meet its strategic objectives which may have negative
   consequences on our interest in the MSV Joint Venture.

         It is likely that the MSV Joint Venture will need to raise additional
funds through public or private debt or equity financings in order to (1)
implement its business plans; (2) take advantage of opportunities, including
acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses or technologies; (3) develop
new services; or (4) respond to competitive pressures. We cannot assure you
that any such additional financing will be available on terms favorable to the
MSV Joint Venture, or at all.

   Governmental regulation of the mobile satellite services industry could
   negatively impact the value of our interest in the MSV Joint Venture.

         Currently, we are not subject to any direct governmental regulation
other than the securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly
owned companies and laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally.
The mobile satellite services business of the MSV Joint Venture, however, is
subject to extensive government regulation in the United States and Canada.
Unlike some satellite services where a satellite licensee is granted an
exclusive right to a predetermined amount of spectrum for a definite time
period, L-band spectrum historically has been shared among five different
licensees (Solidaridad in Mexico, TMI in Canada, Motient in the U.S., the
Russian Federation, and Inmarsat), and these five licensees have agreed to
coordinate their spectrum needs on an annual basis and divide the available
L-band spectrum among themselves. Among other considerations, prior usage of
the L-band to provide service is one factor determining the allotment to each
licensee on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the agreement among these five
licensees to coordinate annually their spectrum usage in the L-band, the five
licensees currently continue to operate pursuant to a coordination agreement
reached in Mexico City in 1995 and annual coordination meetings have not been
held since 1999. Motient and TMI were licensed by their respective
communications regulatory agencies many years ago to use L-band spectrum in
their respective countries. Following FCC and Industry Canada consent, Motient
and TMI assigned their respective L-band satellite licenses to the MSV Joint
Venture. The MSV Joint Venture cannot be assured that it will have access to
sufficient L-band spectrum to meet its needs in the future pursuant to this
annual coordination process. Moreover, Inmarsat has vigorously opposed the
approval of ATC in the L-band, which may complicate the annual coordination
process for spectrum in the L-band.

         Moreover, several companies were authorized by the FCC to use mobile
earth terminals in the U.S. over the Inmarsat L-band satellites. These
authorizations could increase the demand for and usage of the L-band by
Inmarsat, which in turn could increase Inmarsat's demand for L-band spectrum
pursuant to the annual coordination process in the L-band. The FCC further
proposed that any new spectrum that becomes available in the L-band may be
awarded to competing mobile satellite service providers. If the FCC adopts
this proposal, the MSV Joint Venture could face increased competition in the
mobile satellite services marketplace.

   We may not collect on the outstanding promissory note from Motient.

         On May 1, 2002, to mitigate the risk, uncertainties and expenses
associated with Motient's plan of reorganization, the Company cancelled the
outstanding amounts due under the original promissory notes issued by Motient
and accepted a new note in the principal amount of $19.0 million (the "New
Motient Note") that was issued by a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient
that owns 100% of Motient's interests in the MSV Joint Venture ("MSV Holdings
Inc."). The New Motient Note is due on May 1, 2005 and bears interest at a
rate of 9% per annum. Although the New Motient Note is unsecured, there are
material restrictions placed on the use of MSV Holdings Inc.'s assets, and MSV
Holdings, Inc. is prohibited from incurring or guarantying any debt in excess
of $21.0 million (including the New Motient Note). Additionally, there are
events of default (e.g., a bankruptcy filing by Motient) that would accelerate
the due date of the New Motient Note. In light of, among other things, the
operating results and financial condition of Motient, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to collect the New Motient Note. As a result of
the uncertainty with respect to the ultimate collection, a reserve continues
to be maintained for the entire amount of the New Motient Note and accrued
interest thereon.

   Apollo beneficially owns a large percentage of our voting stock.

         As of February 28, 2003, Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P., Apollo
Overseas Partners IV, L.P., AIF IV/RRRR LLC and AP/RM Acquisition LLC
(collectively, the "Apollo Stockholders") owned 1,745,375 shares of our voting
common stock, all of the 8,990,212 shares of our non-voting common stock, all
of the 1,118,684 outstanding shares of our preferred stock and all of our
outstanding Series 1-A and Series 2-A warrants. Assuming that all currently
outstanding shares of our preferred stock are converted and all Series 1-A
warrants and Series 2-A warrants are exercised, the Apollo Stockholders would
beneficially own approximately 72.0% of our outstanding common stock and 46.9%
of our outstanding voting power. Additionally, the Apollo Stockholders'
ownership interest in us may increase upon its conversion of additional shares
of preferred stock or its exercise of additional Series 1-A warrants received
as in-kind dividends on its shares of preferred stock. As long as the Apollo
Stockholders own at least 100,000 shares of the preferred stock, we are
precluded from taking various corporate actions and entering into various
transactions without the Apollo Stockholders' consent. In addition, voting as
a separate class, the Apollo Stockholders have the right to elect two of the
members of our board of directors and have certain approval rights with
respect to additional members of our board of directors in the event that the
size of our board of directors is increased. Furthermore, the delisting of our
common stock from the Nasdaq National Market resulted in an event of
non-compliance under the provisions of our preferred stock. As a result, the
Apollo Stockholders have the right to elect the majority of our board of
directors. In addition to being entitled to 975,000 votes with respect to the
preferred stock, the Apollo Stockholders have agreed that the 474,427 shares
of voting common stock acquired in the July 2002 tender offer which would
otherwise entitle them to cast more than 29.9% of our voting power will be
voted pro-rata with all other votes cast by the holders of voting common
stock.

         Because of the Apollo Stockholders' large percentage of ownership and
their rights as holders of preferred stock, the Apollo Stockholders have
significant influence over our management and policies, such as the election
of our directors, the appointment of new management and the approval of any
other action requiring the approval of our stockholders, including any
amendments to our certificate of incorporation and mergers or sales of all or
substantially all of our assets. In addition, the level of the Apollo
Stockholders' ownership of our shares of common stock and these rights could
have the effect of discouraging or impeding an unsolicited acquisition
proposal.

   Our common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market which could
   seriously limit the liquidity and negatively affect the value of our common
   stock.

         On December 20, 2002, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council
(the "Council") overturned the August 19, 2002 determination by the Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Panel to permit us to remain listed on the Nasdaq
National Market. The Council expressed concern about our ability to maintain
long-term compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements and what it perceived
as our lack of "tangible business operations." As a result of the delisting by
the Nasdaq, since December 23, 2002, the shares of our common stock have
traded in interdealer and over-the-counter transactions and price quotations
have been available in the "pink sheets" under the symbol "RRRR." Since
January 30, 2003, price quotations also have been available on the OTC
Bulletin Board. Delisting from the Nasdaq resulted in a reduction in the
liquidity of our common stock. This lack of liquidity will likely also make it
difficult for us to raise additional capital, if necessary. In addition, the
delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq National Market resulted in an
event of non-compliance under the provisions of our preferred stock. As we
have been unable to obtain a waiver of this event of non-compliance, the
Apollo Stockholders are entitled to elect a majority of the members of our
board of directors.

   We may suffer adverse consequences if we are deemed to be an investment
   company.

         We may suffer adverse consequences if we are deemed to be an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. A company may be
deemed to be an investment company if it owns investment securities with a
value exceeding 40% of its total assets, subject to certain exclusions. Some
investments made by us may constitute investment securities under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. If we were to be deemed an investment company,
we would become subject to registration and regulation as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we failed to do so, we
would be prohibited from engaging in business or issuing our securities and
might be subject to civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance. In
addition, certain of our contracts might be voidable, and a court-appointed
receiver could take control of our company and liquidate our business. If we
registered as an investment company, we would be subject to restrictions
regarding our operations, investments, capital structure, governance and
reporting of our results of operations, among other things, and our ability to
operate as we have in the past would be adversely affected.

         Although our investment securities currently do not comprise more
than 40% of our assets, fluctuations in the value of these securities or of
our other assets may cause this limit not to be satisfied. Unless an exclusion
or safe harbor were available to us, in certain circumstances, we would have
to attempt to reduce our investment securities as a percentage of our total
assets in order to avoid becoming subject to the requirements of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. This reduction can be attempted in a number of
ways, including the disposition of investment securities and the acquisition
of non-investment security assets. If we were required to sell investment
securities, we may sell them sooner than we otherwise would. These sales may
be at depressed prices, and we may never realize anticipated benefits from, or
may incur losses on, these investments. Some investments may not be sold due
to contractual or legal restrictions or the inability to locate a suitable
buyer. Moreover, we may incur tax liabilities when we sell assets. We may also
be unable to purchase additional investment securities that may be important
to our operating strategy. If we decide to acquire non-investment security
assets, we may not be able to identify and acquire suitable assets and
businesses.

   Fluctuations in our financial performance could adversely affect the
   trading price of our common stock.

         Our financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of
factors, many of which are outside of our control, including:

         o     risks and uncertainties affecting the current and proposed
               business of the MSV Joint Venture and the mobile satellite
               services industry;

         o     increased competition in the mobile satellite services
               industry;

         o     costs associated with discontinuing our Internet professional
               services business; and

         o     general economic conditions.

         As a result of these possible fluctuations, period-to-period
comparisons of our financial results may not be reliable indicators of future
performance.

   The price of our common stock has been volatile.

         The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to
continue to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. In recent years, the
stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that
have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many
companies in the technology sector. Future market movements may materially and
adversely affect the market price of our common stock, particularly in light
of the diminished liquidity of our common stock as a result of our delisting
from the Nasdaq.

   Our business is subject to general economic conditions. Future economic
   downturns could have an adverse impact on the value of our interest in the
   MSV Joint Venture.

         Our business is subject to fluctuations based upon the general
economic conditions in North America and, to a lesser extent, the global
economy. Future general economic downturns or a continued recession in the
United States could substantially reduce the demand for satellite
communications services, thereby reducing the value of our interest in the MSV
Joint Venture. A further deterioration in existing economic conditions could
therefore materially and adversely affect our financial condition, operating
results and business.

   We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the
   foreseeable future.

         We currently expect to retain our future earnings, if any, for use in
the operation and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any
cash dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

   The issuance of preferred stock or additional common stock may adversely
   affect our stockholders.

         Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000
shares of our preferred stock and to determine the terms, including voting
rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by our common
stockholders. The voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock
will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Similarly,
our board may issue additional shares of common stock without any further vote
or action by our common stockholders, which would have the effect of diluting
common stockholders. An issuance could occur in the context of another public
or private offering of shares of common stock or preferred stock or in a
situation where the common stock or preferred stock is used to acquire the
assets or stock of another company. The issuance of common stock or preferred
stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible
acquisitions, investments and other corporate purposes, could have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

   Anti-takeover provisions could make a third-party acquisition of our
   company difficult.

         We are a Delaware corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law
contains provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire control of our company. In addition, we have a classified board of
directors, with each board member serving a staggered three-year term. The
existence of a classified board could make it more difficult for a third-party
to acquire control of our company.

   Shares eligible for future sale could cause our stock price to decline.

         The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of
future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception
that such sales could occur. Furthermore, certain of our existing stockholders
have the right to require us to register their shares, and the holders of our
preferred stock and Series 1-A and 2-A warrants have the right to require us
to register the shares of common stock underlying these securities, which may
facilitate their sale of shares in the public market.

Item 2.  Properties

         We conduct our administrative and operations activities from a leased
facility in New York, New York. We routinely evaluate our facilities for
adequacy and necessity in light of our plans for the future. We do not
anticipate purchasing real property in the foreseeable future.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         A number of class action lawsuits were filed by the holders of our
common stock in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware challenging the
plan of merger with Motient Corporation that was ultimately terminated on
October 1, 2001. All of the complaints name us and members of our board of
directors as defendants. Most of the complaints name the holders of our
preferred stock, and certain of their affiliates, as defendants, and some of
the complaints name Motient as a defendant. On June 22, 2001, the Delaware
court entered an order to consolidate all of the Delaware lawsuits for all
purposes into a single class action, In re Rare Medium Group, Inc.
Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No. 18879-NC. On August 7, 2001, a Consolidated
Amended Class Action Complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The
lawsuit alleges that the defendants breached duties allegedly owed to the
holders of our common stock in connection with the merger agreement and sought
to stop the merger and/or obtain monetary damages. On April 2, 2002, we
entered into a settlement in which we agreed to effectuate a reverse stock
split, commence a rights offering and take certain other corporate actions.
The court approved the settlement on December 2, 2002. In connection with the
settlement, we agreed to issue 357,143 shares of our common stock (worth $1.0
million based on the tender offer price of $2.80 per share) to the plaintiff's
counsel as attorney's fees and pay the plaintiff's counsel $0.1 million for
expenses.

         On May 16, 2001, plaintiffs Jay M. Wolff, David Bliss, Tim Barber and
Steve O'Brien filed suit against Rare Medium, Inc., Rare Medium Group, Inc.,
and Rare Medium Texas I, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, Wolff, et al. v. Rare Medium, Inc., et al., CV
No 01-4279. The plaintiffs asserted claims for breach of contract, tortious
interference with contractual relations, tortious interference with
prospective advantage, and breach of implied obligation of good faith, arising
out of the plaintiffs' alleged attempt to engage in transactions involving
some or all of the approximately 1,200,000 shares of our common stock (prior
to the reverse stock split) that the plaintiffs obtained in our acquisition of
Big Hand, Inc. The plaintiffs sought unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. On October 31, 2001, the Court
dismissed the case without prejudice. The plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint on December 7, 2001 based on substantially the same alleged facts.
The amended complaint asserts the following causes of action: (1) breach of
contract; (2) tortious interference with contract; and, (3) tortious
interference with prospective business advantage. The amended complaint also
sought an unspecified amount of actual damages, punitive damages, interest,
and costs. On June 27, 2002, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice. On
July 16, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. On October 31, 2002,
plaintiffs filed their brief in support of their appeal. We filed our
opposition on December 16, 2002, and the plaintiffs replied on January 15,
2003. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on the appeal on February 27,
2003. We intend to continue to contest this matter vigorously if the Court of
Appeals overturns the District Court's rulings.

         On November 19, 2001, five of our shareholders filed a complaint
against us, certain of our subsidiaries and certain of their current and
former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, Dovitz v. Rare Medium Group, Inc. et al., No.
01 Civ. 10196. Plaintiffs became owners of restricted stock when they sold the
company that they owned to us. Plaintiffs assert the following four claims
against defendants: (1) common-law fraud; (2) violation of Section 10(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; (3)
violation of the Michigan Securities Act; and (4) breach of fiduciary duty.
These claims arise out of alleged representations by defendants to induce
plaintiffs to enter into the transaction. The complaint seeks compensatory
damages of approximately $5.6 million, exemplary and/or punitive damages in
the same amount, as well as attorney fees. On January 25, 2002, we filed a
motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On June 3, 2002, the Court
dismissed the matter without prejudice. On or about July 17, 2002, the
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting similar causes of action to
those asserted in the original complaint. On September 12, 2002, we filed a
motion to dismiss on behalf of our self and our current and former officers
and directors. On November 5, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a brief in opposition
to the motion to dismiss. We replied on December 9, 2002. We intend to
continue to dispute this matter vigorously.

         We and certain of our subsidiaries (along with the Engelhard
Corporation) are parties to an arbitration relating to certain agreements that
existed between or among the claimant and ICC Technologies, Inc., our former
name, and the Engelhard/ICC ("E/ICC") joint venture arising from the desiccant
air conditioning business that we and our subsidiaries sold in 1998. The
claimant has sought $8.5 million for (a) its alleged out of pocket losses in
investing in certain of E/ICC's technology, (b) unjust enrichment resulting
from the reorganization of E/ICC in 1998, and (c) lost profits arising from
the fact that it was allegedly forced to leave the air conditioning business
when the E/ICC joint venture was dissolved. We intend to vigorously dispute
this action.

         On July 26, 2002, plaintiffs James D. Loeffelbein, Terrie L. Pham and
certain related parties filed suit against the lead plaintiff's counsel in the
class action lawsuit, us, certain of our current and former officers, our
former investor relations firm and a former employee of plaintiff Loeffelbein
in the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, Loeffelbein v. Milberg Weiss
Bershad Hynes & Lerach, LLP, et al., 02 CV 04867. The plaintiffs assert claims
for fraud, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty against all of us and
certain of our current and former officers in connection with allegedly false
statements purportedly made to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have sought
unspecified damages from the defendants. On September 11, 2002, the matter was
removed to the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. On
October 11, 2002, the plaintiffs sought to have the matter remanded to state
court. We opposed this motion and intend to dispute this matter vigorously.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

2001 was held on December 17, 2002. We solicited proxies for the meeting

directors were elected, and there was no solicitation in opposition to
management's nominees. In addition, the Company's stockholders also voted on
the following proposal with the following results:

         The appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent auditors of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 2002 was ratified.

Item 5.  Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
         Matters

         There is no established public trading market for our voting common
stock. On December 23, 2002, our voting common stock was delisted from the
Nasdaq National Market. Since that time, shares of our voting common stock
have traded in interdealer and over-the-counter transactions and price
quotations have been available in the "pink sheets" under the symbol "RRRR."
On January 30, 2003, our voting common stock also became listed on the OTC
Bulletin Board.

         The following table sets forth, for the fiscal quarters indicated,
(i) the high and low sales prices per share as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market where our stock traded prior to the December 23, 2002 delisting by the
Nasdaq and (ii) the high and low sales prices per share as reported by the
Pink Sheets LLC at www.pinksheets.com on and after December 23, 2002:

         The above quotations reported by Nasdaq and Pink Sheets LLC reflect
interdealer prices, which may not include retail mark-ups, mark-downs or
commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. On February
28, 2003, the last sale price for our voting common stock as reported by the
Pink Sheets LLC was $0.80 per share.

         As of February 28, 2003, we had approximately 852 recordholders of
our voting common stock. This number was derived from our stockholder records,
and does not include beneficial owners of our voting common stock whose shares
are held in the names of various dealers, clearing agencies, banks, brokers,
and other fiduciaries. Holders of our voting common stock are entitled to
share ratably in dividends, if and when declared by our board of directors.

         We have not paid a cash dividend on our common stock for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002, and it is unlikely that
we will pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
The payment of cash dividends on our common stock will depend on, among other
things, our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, and
general business conditions. Under the terms of the purchase agreement we
entered into with the holders of our preferred stock, for so long as such
holders beneficially own not less than 100,000 shares of preferred stock, we
are prohibited from declaring or paying, and may not permit any of our
subsidiaries to declare or pay, any dividend or make any other distribution in
respect of any other shares of our capital stock without the prior written
consent of such holders. In addition, future borrowings or issuances of
preferred stock may prohibit or restrict our ability to pay or declare
dividends.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

         The following historical selected financial data for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 have been derived from financial
statements that have been audited by our independent accountants. There were
no cash dividends paid to holders of our common stock in any of these years.
The data should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the
notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The format of prior year data
has been conformed to reflect the accounting for discontinued operations.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

         The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements
and the related notes thereto. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements.

Overview

         We conduct our business through our subsidiaries. Through our 80%
owned MSV Investors Subsidiary, we are a participant in the MSV Joint
Venture, a joint venture that also includes TMI, Motient, and the Other MSV
Investors. The MSV Joint Venture is currently a provider of mobile digital
voice and data communications services via satellite in North America. We are
an active participant in the MSV Joint Venture and have designated three
members of the 12-member board of directors of the MSV Joint Venture's
corporate general partner. In addition, in May 2002, we became affiliated with
Miraxis, a development stage company that has access to a Ka-band license with
which it intends to provide satellite based multi-channel, broadband data and
video services in North America.

         On February 10, 2003, the FCC released the ATC Order that relates to
an application submitted by the MSV Joint Venture and certain of its
competitors that could greatly expand the scope of the MSV Joint Venture's
business by permitting the incorporation of an ancillary terrestrial component
into its mobile satellite network. A similar application is pending before
Industry Canada, the FCC's counterpart in Canada. The MSV Joint Venture cannot
expand its MSS business using ATC base stations into Canada until this
application pending before Industry Canada is approved. With the FCC's
issuance of the ATC Order alone, however, we expect the MSV Joint Venture to
enter a new stage of development which will require significant future funding
requirements and/or a need for one or more strategic partners.

         Our current operations consist of actively participating in the MSV
Joint Venture, directing the operations of Miraxis and seeking other
complementary operational opportunities. Our principal assets consist of our
interest in the MSV Joint Venture, a promissory note from Motient, our
interest in Miraxis, our remaining investments in our venture portfolio
companies and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. As a result
of uncertainty with respect to the ultimate collection on the Motient notes,
we recognized a reserve for the entire amount of these notes. See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" under this Item 7.

         From 1998 through the third quarter of 2001, our principal business
was conducted through Rare Medium, Inc., which developed Internet e-commerce
strategies, business processes, marketing communications, branding strategies
and interactive content using Internet-based technologies and solutions. As a
result of the weakening of general economic conditions that caused many
companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business solutions and in
light of their performance and prospects, a decision to discontinue Rare
Medium, Inc.'s operations, along with those of its LiveMarket subsidiary, was
made at the end of the third quarter of 2001.

         From 1999 through the first quarter of 2001, we made venture
investments by taking strategic minority equity positions in other independently
managed companies. Additionally, during that period, we developed, managed and
operated our Start-up Companies. During the first quarter of 2001, we reduced
our focus on these businesses and substantially ceased providing funding to our
Start-up Companies. Additionally, we sold a majority of our equity interest in
the operations of three of our Start-up Companies: ChangeMusic and ePrize in
April 2001 and Regards.com in December 2001.

         Prior to March 1999, our name was ICC Technologies, Inc. ("ICC"). On
April 15, 1998, ICC acquired Rare Medium, Inc., an Internet services business,
and shortly thereafter ICC changed its name to Rare Medium Group, Inc.
Following this acquisition, all non-Internet-related operations were divested,
and the chief executive officer of Rare Medium, Inc. became the chief
executive officer of Rare Medium Group, Inc. ICC was the legal and accounting
acquirer. As a result of these transactions, the results of operations of the
non-Internet-related business for all periods have been accounted for as a
discontinued operation. Furthermore, as a result of the decision to
discontinue the operations of Rare Medium, Inc. and its subsidiary LiveMarket,
the results of operations of these businesses have also been accounted for as
discontinued operations. Accordingly, our discussion in the section entitled
"Results of Operations" focuses on our continuing operations and includes our
results and those of our MSV Investors Subsidiary and our Start-up Companies
up to their respective dates of sale or shutdown.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

         Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expense
during the periods presented. Although these estimates are based on our
knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual
results may differ from estimates. The following discussion addresses our most
critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results from operations, and that
require judgment. Also, see the notes accompanying the consolidated financial
statements, which contain additional information regarding our accounting
policies.

   Notes Receivable from Motient and MSV Joint Venture

         We value our notes receivable based on the face amount, net of a
valuation reserve for unrealized amounts. We review the net balance of our
notes for changes to the reserve, either increases or decreases, whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount differs from its
expected recovery.

         As of December 31, 2002, as a result of the continued uncertainty
with respect to the ultimate collection on the New Motient Note, we maintain a
reserve for the entire amount of the note. However, the New Motient Note is
issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient that owns 100% of Motient's
interests in the MSV Joint Venture. If we are able to collect on any portion
of the New Motient Note, an adjustment to the reserve would be reflected as
income in our statements of operations.

         As of December 31, 2002, the carrying value of our convertible note
from the MSV Joint Venture approximates its fair value based on recent funding
transactions. The MSV Joint Venture plans, subject to the receipt of certain
FCC authorizations and Industry Canada approvals and raising adequate capital
and/or entering into agreements with one or more strategic partners, to
develop, build and operate a next-generation satellite system complemented by
ATC. If the FCC authorization for the MSV Joint Venture to operate an ATC is
not received, the MSV Joint Venture's business will be limited, and the value
of our interest in the MSV Joint Venture will be significantly impaired.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

   Revenues

         Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased to nil from
approximately $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of
approximately $1.9 million. The decrease is the result of the sale of our
majority interest in the operations of three Start-up Companies in 2001.

   Cost of Revenues

         Cost of revenues includes salaries, payroll taxes and related
benefits and other direct costs associated with the generation of revenues.
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased to nil from
approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of
approximately $1.3 million. The decrease is the result of the sale of our
majority interest in the operations of three Start-up Companies in 2001.

   Sales and Marketing Expense

         Sales and marketing expense primarily includes the costs associated
with the respective sales force of each Start-up Company, marketing and
advertising. Sales and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2002
decreased to nil from approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2001, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million. The decrease is the result
of the sale of our majority interest in the operations of three Start-up
Companies in 2001.

   General and Administrative Expense

         General and administrative expense includes facilities costs,
finance, legal and other corporate costs, as well as the salaries and related
employee benefits for those employees that support such functions. General and
administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased to $6.4
million from $19.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of
$13.5 million. This decrease was primarily related to the reduced
infrastructure needed to manage our continuing operations and the sale of our
majority interest in the operations of three Start-up Companies in 2001,
partially offset by the legal and advisory costs associated with our
negotiations and settlement with the plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit.
We currently expect our general and administrative expense, as it relates to
our existing operations, to remain at this level in future periods.

   Depreciation and Amortization Expense

         Depreciation and amortization expense substantially consists of the
depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets
as a result of the acquisitions of our Start-up Companies. Depreciation and
amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased to
approximately $0.1 million from $3.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2001, a decrease of approximately $2.9 million. This decrease is primarily the
result of the sale or shutdown of the operations of our Start-up Companies in
2001 and the disposal of property and equipment associated with our
restructuring activities. As we have reduced our capital expenditures and have
written off all remaining goodwill, we currently expect depreciation expense,
as it relates to our existing operations, to remain at this level in future
periods.

   Interest Income, Net

         Interest income, net for the year ended December 31, 2002 is mainly
comprised of the interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments and on our convertible notes receivable from the MSV Joint Venture.

   Loss on Investment in Affiliates

         For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a loss on
investments in affiliates of approximately $0.4 million for our proportionate
share of affiliates' operating losses and amortization of our net excess
investment over our equity in an affiliate's net assets accounted for under
the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded a loss on
investments in affiliates of $54.6 million, $43.8 million for the impairment
to the carrying value of certain affiliates accounted for under the cost
method, $3.6 million for the realized loss on the sale of publicly traded
securities, $2.7 million for our proportionate share of affiliates' operating
losses and amortization of our net excess investment over our equity in each
affiliate's net assets for those affiliates accounted for under the equity
method, and $4.5 million related to our Start-Up Companies. We will continue
to monitor the carrying value of our remaining investments in affiliates for
further impairment.

   Other Expense, Net

         For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded other expense, net
of approximately $14.7 million, consisting primarily of $14.9 million for the
realized loss on the sale of XM Satellite Radio common stock. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, we recorded other expense, net of approximately $22.2
million, consisting primarily of the approximate loss of $26.9 million
relating to the reserve recognized for the Motient promissory notes, partially
offset by a gain of $5.3 million that resulted from difference between the
value of the XM Satellite Radio common stock received in connection with
partial repayment of the Motient notes in accordance with their terms and the
value of XM Satellite Radio common stock using its closing price on the date
of partial repayment.

   Minority Interest

         For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded minority interest
of approximately $1.0 million relating to the equity in earnings, primarily
the interest income earned on the convertible notes from the MSV Joint
Venture, which is attributable to the group of unaffiliated third parties who
invested approximately $10.2 million in our MSV Investors Subsidiary.

   (Loss) Gain from Discontinued Operations

         At the end of the third quarter of 2001, a decision to discontinue
the operations of Rare Medium, Inc. and its LiveMarket subsidiary was made as
a result of the weakening of general economic conditions that caused many
companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business solutions and in
light of their performance and prospects. For the year ended December 31,
2002, we recognized a gain of $12.6 million as a result of the settlement of
Rare Medium, Inc. liabilities at amounts less than their recorded amounts. For
the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a loss from operations of
$116.0 million relating to these businesses and $2.9 million relating to the
wind down of these businesses.

   Net Loss

         For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a net loss of $4.0
million. The net loss was primarily due to the factors described in "General
and Administrative Expense," "Depreciation and Amortization Expense,"
"Interest Income, Net," "Loss on Investment in Affiliates," "Other Expense,
Net," "Minority Interest" and "(Loss) Gain from Discontinued Operations."

         Included in net loss attributable to common shareholders of $15.0
million was $11.0 million of non-cash deemed dividends and accretion related
to the issuance of our convertible preferred stock. Dividends were accrued
related to the pay-in-kind dividends payable quarterly on convertible
preferred stock and to the accretion of the carrying amount of the convertible
preferred stock up to its $100 per share face redemption amount over 13 years.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000

   Revenues

         Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased to $1.9
million from $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of
$6.4 million. These revenues reflect the operations of our remaining Start-up
Companies through their respective dates of sale or shutdown. The decrease is
primarily the result of the sale of our majority interest in the operations of
three Start-up Companies in 2001.

   Cost of Revenues

         Cost of revenues includes salaries and related benefits and other
direct costs associated with the generation of revenues. Cost of revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased to $1.3 million from $6.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of $4.8 million. The decrease
is primarily the result of the sale of our majority interest in the operations
of three Start-up Companies in 2001.

   Sales and Marketing Expense

         Sales and marketing expense primarily includes the costs associated
with the respective sales force of each Start-up Company, marketing and
advertising. Sales and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2001
decreased to $1.3 million from $14.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2000, a decrease of $12.9 million. The decrease is primarily the result of the
sale of our majority interest in the operations of three Start-up Companies in
2001.

   General and Administrative Expense

         General and administrative expense includes facilities costs,
finance, legal and other corporate costs, as well as the salaries and related
employee benefits for those employees that support such functions. General and
administrative expense for the year ending December 31, 2001 decreased to
$19.9 million from $44.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a
decrease of $24.6 million. This decrease was primarily related to the reduced
infrastructure needed to manage our continuing operations and the sale of our
majority interest in the operations of three Start-up Companies in 2001,
partially offset by the legal and advisory costs associated with our
terminated merger with Motient Corporation.

   Depreciation and Amortization Expense

         Depreciation and amortization expense substantially consists of the
depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets
as a result of the acquisitions of our Start-up Companies. Depreciation and
amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased to $3.0
million from $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of
$5.2 million. This decrease is primarily the result of the sale or shutdown of
the operations of our Start-up Companies in 2001 and the disposal of property
and equipment associated with our restructuring activities.

   Interest Income, Net

         Interest income, net for the year ended December 31, 2001 is mainly
comprised of the interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments, on our Motient promissory notes, and on our convertible note
receivable from the MSV Joint Venture.

   Loss on Investment in Affiliates

         Loss on investments in affiliates for the year ended December 31,
2001 increased to $54.6 million from $11.1 million for the year ended December
31, 2000, an increase of $43.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
loss on investments in affiliates consisted of $43.8 million for the
impairment to the carrying value of certain affiliates accounted for under the
cost method, $3.6 million for the realized loss on the sale of publicly traded
securities, $2.7 million for our proportionate share of affiliates' operating
losses and amortization of our net excess investment over our equity in each
affiliate's net assets for those affiliates accounted for under the equity
method, and $4.5 million related to the sale or shutdown of our Start-up
Companies. For the year ended December 31, 2000, loss on investments in
affiliates consisted of $5.4 million for the impairment to the carrying value
of certain affiliates accounted for under the cost method and $5.7 million for
our proportionate share of affiliates' operating losses and amortization of
our net excess investment over our equity in each affiliate's net assets for
those affiliates accounted for under the equity method. The increase in our
loss on investments in affiliates in 2001 was primarily related to additional
write-offs of our venture portfolio as many of these companies have been
forced out of business as a result of not being able to obtain additional
funding due to the general economic downturn.

   Other Expense, net

         Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2001 primarily
relates to the promissory notes from Motient. On October 12, 2001, in
accordance with the terms of the notes, we received five million shares of XM
Satellite Radio common stock as payment for $26.2 million of the aggregate
$52.4 million principal and accrued interest of the notes as of that date
leaving a remaining principal balance of the notes at $26.2 million. As a
result of uncertainty with respect to the ultimate collection on the remaining
balance of the Motient notes, we recognized a reserve for the entire amount of
these notes. This approximate loss of $26.9 million was partially offset by a
gain of $5.3 million that resulted from difference between the value of the XM
Satellite Radio common stock received in connection with partial repayment of
the Motient Notes in accordance with their terms and the value of XM Satellite
Radio common stock using its closing price on the date of partial repayment.

   Minority Interest

         For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded minority interest
of approximately $0.1 million relating to the equity in earnings, primarily
the interest income earned on the convertible notes from the MSV Joint
Venture, which is attributable to the group of unaffiliated third parties who
invested $10.0 million in our MSV Investors Subsidiary.

   Loss from Discontinued Operations

         At the end of the third quarter of 2001, a decision to discontinue
the operations of Rare Medium, Inc. and its LiveMarket subsidiary was made as
a result of the weakening of general economic conditions that caused many
companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business solutions and in
light of their performance and prospects. In connection with the
discontinuance of these businesses, we recorded restructuring charges in 2001
of $55.6 million related to severance and benefits resulting from headcount
reductions, facility consolidations, an accrual for estimated losses during
the wind-down period and the write-off of unamortized goodwill and property
and equipment, net of expected proceeds. The remaining loss of $63.3 million
resulted from operations prior to the decision to discontinue the businesses.

   Net Loss

         For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded a net loss of
$210.3 million. The loss was primarily due to the factors described in
"Revenues," "Cost of Revenues," "General and Administrative Expense,"
"Depreciation and Amortization Expense," "Sales and Marketing Expense," "Loss
on Investments in Affiliates," "Minority Interest," "Other Expense, net" and
"Loss from Discontinued Operations."

         Included in net loss attributable to common shareholders of $222.3
million was $11.9 million of non-cash deemed dividends and accretion related
to the issuance of our Series A convertible preferred stock. Dividends were
accrued related to the pay-in-kind dividends payable quarterly on Series A
convertible preferred stock and to the accretion of the carrying amount of the
Series A convertible preferred stock up to its $100 per share face redemption
amount over 13 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         We had approximately $39.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments as of December 31, 2002. Cash used in operating
activities from continuing operations was approximately $8.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002 and resulted primarily from cash used for general
corporate overhead including professional fees associated with the settlement
of certain litigation matters. Cash used in operating activities from
discontinued operations was $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002
which primarily relates to settlements of existing liabilities and, to a
lesser extent, legal fees associated with the wind down of Rare Medium, Inc.
and other businesses. We expect cash used in continuing operations, as it
relates to our existing operations, to remain at approximately this level in
future periods. Therefore, we expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our operating
requirements for 2003.

         Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was
$15.4 million, excluding the $7.3 million resulting from the net sale of
short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2002, which primarily
consists of $16.6 million of cash received from the sale of five million
shares of XM Satellite Radio common stock, $0.3 million of cash received from
an investment in an affiliate with whom we had a dispute and $0.1 million
received from the sale of an investment in an affiliate, partially offset by
the $1.1 million used by our MSV Investors Subsidiary to purchase, in
connection with the MSV Joint Venture rights offering, a newly issued
convertible note with terms similar to the convertible note already held by
the MSV Investors Subsidiary and $0.5 million used to purchase an interest in
Miraxis. We do not have any future funding commitments with respect to any of
these entities. However, we expect that the MSV Joint Venture will require
additional funding from time to time, and we may choose to exercise our
preemptive rights to provide our pro rata share of such funding, subject to
our liquidity and capital resources at that time.

         Cash provided by financing activities was $17.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002, which primarily consists of the proceeds from the
sale of 147,893 shares of voting common stock and 8,990,212 shares of
non-voting common stock in connection with the rights offering and advance
purchase and the contribution from the unaffiliated third parties into the MSV
Investors Subsidiary, partially offset by the costs of the rights offering.

   Motient Promissory Note

         On May 1, 2002, to mitigate the risk, uncertainties and expenses
associated with Motient's plan of reorganization, we cancelled the outstanding
amounts due under the original promissory notes issued by Motient and accepted
a new note in the principal amount of $19.0 million that was issued by MSV
Holding, Inc., a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient that owns 100% of
Motient's interests in the MSV Joint Venture. The New Motient Note is due on
May 1, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Although the New
Motient Note is unsecured, there are material restrictions placed on the use
of MSV Holdings Inc.'s assets, and MSV Holdings Inc. is prohibited from
incurring or guarantying any debt in excess of $21.0 million (including the
New Motient Note). Additionally, there are events of default (e.g., a
bankruptcy filing by Motient) that would accelerate the due date of the New
Motient Note. As a result of the uncertainty with respect to the ultimate
collection on the New Motient Note, a reserve continues to be maintained for
the entire amount of the note. If we recover any amount on the New Motient
Note, adjustments to the reserve would be reflected as other income on the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, we have been
conducting periodic negotiations with Motient concerning alternatives related
to the New Motient Note including the exchange of such note, or a portion
thereof, into an additional equity interest in the MSV Joint Venture.

   MSV Joint Venture Convertible Notes Receivable

         Through our 80% owned MSV Investors Subsidiary, we are an active
participant in the MSV Joint Venture, a joint venture that also includes TMI,
Motient and the Other MSV Investors. The MSV Joint Venture is currently a
provider of mobile digital voice and data communications services via
satellite in North America. On November 26, 2001, through our MSV Investors
Subsidiary, we purchased a $50.0 million interest in the MSV Joint Venture in
the form of a convertible note. Immediately prior to the purchase of the
convertible note, Rare Medium Group contributed $40.0 million to the MSV
Investors Subsidiary and a group of unaffiliated third parties collectively
contributed $10.0 million. The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per year,
has a maturity date of November 26, 2006, and is convertible at any time at
the option of our MSV Investors Subsidiary into equity interests in the MSV
Joint Venture.

         On August 13, 2002, the MSV Joint Venture completed a rights offering
allowing its investors to purchase their pro rata share of an aggregate $3.0
million of newly issued convertible notes with terms similar to the
convertible note already held by our MSV Investors Subsidiary. The MSV
Investors Subsidiary exercised its basic and over subscription rights and
purchased approximately $1.1 million of the convertible notes. Following this
purchase of the additional convertible note, the MSV Investors would own, upon
conversion, 30.9% of the equity interests in the MSV Joint Venture. The group
of unaffiliated third parties collectively contributed $0.2 million to the MSV
Investors Subsidiary in connection with the MSV Joint Venture rights offering.

         Pursuant to the MSV Joint Venture Agreement, in the event that the
MSV Joint Venture receives final regulatory approval from the FCC by March 31,
2003 for its ATC applications, as those terms are defined in the MSV Joint
Venture Agreement, the Other MSV Investors are obligated to invest an
additional $50.0 million in the MSV Joint Venture. If this additional
investment were to occur, the convertible notes held by our MSV Investors
Subsidiary will automatically convert into equity interests, and the MSV
Investors Subsidiary would own approximately 23.7% of the equity interests in
the MSV Joint Venture. While the ATC Order has been issued, absent a
renegotiation of the deadline for this contribution, we do not believe the
Other MSV Investors will be required to contribute the $50.0 million to the
MSV Joint Venture.

         The fair value of the convertible notes approximates book value based
on the equity value of the MSV Joint Venture's recent funding transactions
assuming conversion of such note.

   Issuance of Common Stock

         On January 14, 2000, we sold 250,000 shares of our common stock for
gross proceeds of $70.1 million (net proceeds of $65.7 million) in a private
transaction to a group of mutual funds managed by Putnam Investments and
Franklin Resources, Inc. On April 18, 2000, we filed a registration statement
with the SEC to register the resale of such shares as required by the purchase
agreement executed in connection with such private transaction.

         On March 29, 2000, we sold 300,000 shares of our common stock for
gross proceeds of $186.0 million (net proceeds of $175.2 million) in a public
offering underwritten by Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Deutsche Bank
Securities, Inc. and FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.

         On August 22, 2000, we issued 1,270,948 shares of common stock to
holders of our Series 1-A Warrants as a result of a cashless exercise of all
Series 1-A Warrants outstanding at that time. The effective exercise price at
the time of exercise was $0.01 per share. We withheld 998 shares of common
stock as payment of the aggregate exercise price.

         On November 19, 2001, we entered into a settlement agreement with our
former public relations firm in order to resolve a dispute concerning our
alleged failure to deliver options covering a number of shares of our common
stock that were allegedly owed relating to past services rendered which
allegedly resulted in damages of $12.8 million to the public relations firm.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we, among other things, issued 125,000
shares of unregistered common stock to the firm and an option to purchase an
additional 4,700 unregistered shares of common stock. The fair value of this
consideration approximated $1.2 million.

         On July 16, 2002, we sold 9,138,105 shares of our common stock for
gross proceeds of $18.4 million (net proceeds of $17.0 million) in a rights
offering. In connection with the settlement of the class action lawsuit, we
distributed to each holder of record of our common stock, warrants and
preferred stock, as of the close of business on May 16, 2002, one
non-transferable right to purchase one additional share of our common stock,
for each share held, at a purchase price of $2.01 per share. Included in the
rights offering is the advance purchase by our preferred stockholders of
3,876,584 shares of non-voting common stock in April 2002 for total gross
proceeds of approximately $7.8 million and an additional 5,113,628 shares of
non-voting common stock purchased by our preferred stockholders pursuant to
their over subscription privilege.

   Other Transactions

         As part of our regular on-going evaluation of business opportunities,
we are currently engaged in a number of separate and unrelated preliminary
discussions concerning possible joint ventures and other transactions
(collectively, the "Transactions"). We are in the early stages of such
discussions and have not entered into any agreement in principle with respect
to any of the Transactions. Prior to consummating any Transaction, we will
have to, among other things, initiate and satisfactorily complete a due
diligence investigation, negotiate the financial and other terms (including
price) and conditions of such Transaction, obtain appropriate board of
directors', regulatory and other necessary consents and approvals and secure
financing, to the extent deemed necessary. We cannot predict if any such
Transaction will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a financial
or other benefit to us.

Delisting from the Nasdaq National Market

         On December 20, 2002, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council
(the "Council") overturned the August 19, 2002 determination by the Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Panel to permit our company to remain listed on the
Nasdaq National Market. The Council expressed concern about our ability to
maintain long-term compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements and what it
perceived as our lack of "tangible business operations." As a result of the
delisting by the Nasdaq, since December 23, 2002, the shares of our common
stock have traded in interdealer and over-the-counter transactions and price
quotations have been available in the "pink sheets" under the symbol "RRRR."
Since January 30, 2003, price quotations also have been available on the OTC
Bulletin Board. Delisting from the Nasdaq National Market resulted in a
reduction in the liquidity of our common stock. This lack of liquidity will
likely also make it difficult for us to raise additional capital, if
necessary. In addition, the delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq
National Market resulted in an event of non-compliance under the provisions of
our preferred stock. As we have been unable to obtain a waiver of this event
of non-compliance, the Apollo Stockholders are entitled to elect a majority of
the members of our board of directors.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

         In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability
for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and
measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002 and will not have a material impact on our results of
operations. We accounted for the discontinued operations of Rare Medium, Inc.
in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 and, accordingly,
charged to our statement of operations in 2001 all appropriate exit costs for
plans approved by management before December 31, 2001.

         In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS
No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), to
provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes
to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim
financial statements about the effects on reported net income of an entity's
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2002 and have been incorporated into these financial statements
and accompanying footnotes.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         At December 31, 2002, we had $39.5 million of cash, cash equivalents
and short-term cash investments. These cash, cash equivalents and short-term
cash investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.
In accordance with our investment policy, we diversify our investments among
United States Treasury securities and other high credit quality debt
instruments that we believe to be low risk. We are averse to principal loss and
seek to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk and market risk.

         The financial statements and supplementary financial data required by
this Item 8 are set forth in Item 15 of this report. All information which has

Employment Contracts And Change In Control Arrangements

   Meyers Employment Agreement

         In connection with the transactions consummated pursuant to the 1998
acquisition by the Company of Rare Medium, Inc., the Company entered into an
Employment Agreement effective April 15, 1998 with Glenn S. Meyers, as amended
(the "Meyers Employment Agreement"). Pursuant to the Meyers Employment
Agreement, Mr. Meyers was engaged as the Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and Rare Medium, Inc. to serve for a term of
five years, expiring April 15, 2003. Pursuant to the Meyers Employment
Agreement, Mr. Meyers currently receives an annual base salary of $292,465,
with a minimum annual increase during the term of not less than 4% per annum.
The Meyers Employment Agreement also contains a covenant not to compete with
the Company or any of its affiliates for the term of the agreement, plus one
additional year. Concurrently with the execution of the Meyers Employment
Agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Meyers options to acquire an aggregate
of 200,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices equal to $23.75 per share
(the fair market value at the time of issuance), which options become
exercisable ratably on a monthly basis over a period of 60 months from the
date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. On October 15,
2002, in recognition of Mr. Meyers' contribution to the Company, among other
things, the Compensation Committee approved the repricing of the exercise
prices of Mr. Meyers' outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 140,000
shares of common stock to $0.85 per share, the fair market value at the date
of the repricing. Additionally, on that date, Mr. Meyers received an
additional option to purchase 155,000 shares of common stock at $0.85 per
share.

   Leddy Employment Agreement

         In June 2002, the Company entered into an employment agreement,
effective June 4, 2002, with Jeffrey Leddy. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr.
Leddy was engaged as Senior Vice President of Operations for a term expiring
on December 31, 2003. Mr. Leddy receives an annual base salary of $200,000,
which is subject to increase at the sole discretion of the Compensation
Committee. In addition, Mr. Leddy is eligible, based upon the achievement of
certain subjective goals established by the Compensation Committee, to receive
a bonus of up to 75% of his base salary following the end of each calendar
year during the term of the agreement. Mr. Leddy also received an option to
purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per
share, the fair market value on the date of grant. This option vests ratably
every six months for two years. On October 9, 2002, Mr. Leddy was promoted to
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. In connection with his
promotion, Mr. Leddy received an option to purchase an additional 75,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, the fair
market value on the date of the grant. This option vests ratably every year
for three years. In the event that Mr. Leddy is terminated other than for
"cause" as that term is defined in the agreement, he is entitled to receive a
lump sum payment equal to one year of his current salary and all stock options
granted to him by the Company shall immediately vest.

   Other Current Employment Agreements

         The Company has employment agreements with each of Craig Chesser,
Michael Hultberg and Robert Lewis, each of whom is an executive officer of the
Company. Under these agreements, if, either (i) after 90 days following a
change in control of the Company, the executive terminates his employment or
(ii) the executive is terminated for other than "cause" as such term is
defined in his respective agreement, then the executive is entitled to receive
severance compensation and benefits in a lump sum payment consisting of one
year of his current salary and the right to exercise all vested stock options
and unvested stock options which become exercisable upon a change of control
through the option exercise date for such options. For purposes of these
agreements, a change in control of the Company occurs when, among other
things, the stockholders of the Company approve a merger of the Company.

         As part of the Company's efforts to further reduce costs, the
Company, Messrs. Hultberg and Chesser have reached an agreement under which
Messrs. Hultberg's and Chesser's full time employment will cease as of March
31, 2003. At that time, Messrs. Hultberg and Chesser will each be paid their
severance and benefits in accordance with their respective employment
agreements. After that date, Messrs. Hultberg and Chesser are expected to
continue to provide the Company with certain additional consulting services.

Compensation of Directors

         Each non-employee director receives a per meeting fee of $1,000 for
each meeting of the board of directors and $500 for each committee meeting
attended, along with expenses incurred in connection with attending each
meeting. Furthermore, on October 15, 2002, each of Messrs. Africk, Gross,
Killeen, Rowan and Stasior was granted an option to purchase 35,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, the fair
market value on the date of the grant. Each of these options vest ratably over
three years beginning on the anniversary of each director's service with the
Company to the extent that the director is fully vested in previously granted
options.

         On May 28, 2002, the Company acquired Series B Preferred Shares and a

being issued to the Company. In addition, on December 20, 2002, the Company
acquired Series C Preferred shares and certain options and warrants from
Miraxis for approximately $0.1 million, increasing the Company's ownership
interest to approximately 39%. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Leddy served
as President of Miraxis, a position he continues to hold. Mr. Leddy currently
holds an option to purchase shares of Miraxis representing less than 1.5% of
the outstanding ownership interests.

   Settlement of Class Action Lawsuit

         A number of class action lawsuits were filed by the holders of the
common stock in the State of Delaware challenging the plan of merger with
Motient that was ultimately terminated on October 1, 2001. On June 22, 2001,
the Delaware court entered an order to consolidate all of the Delaware
lawsuits for all purposes into a single class action. On April 2, 2002, the
Company and the Apollo Stockholders entered into a Stipulation of Settlement
(the "Settlement") with the plaintiffs relating to the class action lawsuit,
which was approved at a court hearing on December 2, 2002. In connection with
the Settlement, the Company agreed to effect a one for ten reverse stock
split, to commence a rights offering and to take certain other corporate
actions. Also in connection with the Settlement, the Company entered into an
investment agreement with the Apollo Stockholders who agreed to purchase in
advance of the rights offering 3,876,584 of shares of the Company's non-voting
common stock. This purchase equaled the number of shares of common stock that
they would otherwise have been entitled to purchase in the rights offering,
after giving effect to the cancellation of 20% of the outstanding warrants in
connection with the Settlement. An affiliate of the Apollo Stockholders also
commenced a cash tender offer for up to 1,500,291 shares of common stock on
April 9, 2002 and acquired 474,427 shares of common stock pursuant to the
offer.

   Rights Offering

         In the rights offering, the Company distributed to each holder of
record of common stock, warrants and preferred stock, as of the close of
business on May 16, 2002, one non-transferable right to purchase one
additional share of common stock, for each share held, at a purchase price of
$2.01 per share. The rights offering was concluded on July 16, 2002, with
9,138,105 shares of common stock purchased for total gross proceeds of $18.4
million (net proceeds of $17.0 million). Included in the rights offering is the
advance purchase by the Apollo Stockholders of 3,876,584 shares of non-voting
common stock in April 2002 as described below and an additional 5,113,628
shares of non-voting common stock purchased by the Apollo Stockholders
pursuant to their over subscription privilege.

   Advance Purchase by the Apollo Stockholders

         Under an investment agreement made in connection with the Settlement,
the Apollo Stockholders purchased 3,876,584 shares of the Company's non-voting
common stock. This purchase equaled the number of shares of common stock that
the Apollo Stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to purchase in the
rights offering, after giving effect to the cancellation of 20% of the
outstanding warrants in connection with the Settlement. In connection with the
advance purchase, the Apollo Stockholders paid $2.01 per share for an
aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $7.8 million.

   Apollo Tender Offer

         As part of the Settlement, on April 9, 2002, an affiliate of the
Apollo Stockholders commenced a cash tender offer at a price of $2.80 per
share for up to 1,500,291 shares, or approximately 23% of the outstanding
common stock (the "Apollo Tender Offer") and acquired 474,427 shares of common
stock pursuant to the Apollo Tender Offer. In accordance with the Settlement,
the $2.80 per share tender offer price equaled 105% of the average closing
prices of the common stock for the five trading days prior to April 9, 2002.
The Apollo Tender Offer expired on May 10, 2002. The Apollo Stockholders
agreed that so long as any tendered shares are held by them or any of their
affiliates, the Apollo Stockholders will cause all such shares held by them,
which would otherwise entitle the Apollo Stockholders and their affiliates,
collectively, to cast more than 29.9% of voting power of our outstanding
capital stock, to be voted pro-rata with all other votes cast by holders of
common stock. The Apollo Tender Offer was intended to provide additional
liquidity for the holders of the common stock and, thereby, provide near term
support for the market price of the common stock in light of the one for ten
reverse stock split. Furthermore, the Company agreed to pay the expenses of
the Apollo Stockholders in connection with the advance purchase and the other
transactions related to the Settlement.

   Employment Agreements

         For a description of the employment agreements between Rare Medium
Group and certain of our executive officers, please see the descriptions above
in Item 11. Executive Compensation under the heading "Employment Contracts and
Change in Control Arrangements."

Item 14. Controls and Procedures

         Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief
executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive
officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the date of the
evaluation, are effective in timely alerting them to material information
required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that
the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions, regardless of how remote.

         In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been
no significant changes in those controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last
evaluation.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Rare Medium Group, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rare
Medium Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2002. 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 Rare

                            RARE MEDIUM GROUP, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         (a) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

         Rare Medium Group, Inc. (the "Company") conducts its business through
its subsidiaries. Through its 80% owned MSV Investors, LLC subsidiary ("MSV
Investors Subsidiary"), the Company became a participant in the Mobile
Satellite Venture, L.P. joint venture ("MSV Joint Venture"), a joint venture
that also includes TMI Communications, Inc., Motient Corporation ("Motient"),
and certain other investors (collectively, the "Other MSV Investors"). The MSV
Joint Venture is currently a provider of mobile digital voice and data
communications services via satellite in North America. The Company is an
active participant in the MSV Joint Venture and has designated three members
of the 12-member board of directors of the MSV Joint Venture's corporate
general partner. In addition, in May 2002, the Company became affiliated with
Miraxis, LLC ("Miraxis"), a development stage company that has access to a
Ka-band license with which it intends to provide satellite based
multi-channel, broadband data and video services in North America (see Note
12(a)).

         On February 10, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC") released an order relating to an application submitted by the MSV Joint
Venture and certain of its competitors that could greatly expand the scope of
the MSV Joint Venture's business by permitting the incorporation of an
ancillary terrestrial base stations (which we refer to as an "ancillary
terrestrial component" or "ATC") into its mobile satellite network. A similar
application is pending before Industry Canada, the FCC's counterpart in
Canada. The MSV Joint Venture cannot expand its mobile satellite services
business using ATC base stations into Canada until this appliation pending
before Industry Canada is approved. With the FCC's issuance of the ATC order,
the Company expects the MSV Joint Venture to enter a new stage of development
which requires significant future funding requirements and/or a need for one
or more strategic partners.

         From 1998 through the third quarter of 2001, the Company's principal
business was conducted through Rare Medium, Inc., which developed Internet
e-commerce strategies, business processes, marketing communications, branding
strategies and interactive content using Internet-based technologies and
solutions. As a result of the weakening of general economic conditions that
caused many companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business
solutions and in light of their performance and prospects, a decision to
discontinue Rare Medium, Inc.'s operations, along with those of its
LiveMarket, Inc. subsidiary ("LiveMarket"), was made at the end of the third
quarter of 2001 (see Note 11).

         From 1999 through the first quarter of 2001, the Company made venture
investments by taking strategic minority equity positions in other
independently managed companies. Additionally, during that period, the Company
developed, managed and operated companies in selected Internet-focused market
segments ("Start-up Companies"). During the first quarter of 2001, the Company
reduced its focus on these businesses and substantially ceased providing
funding to its Start-up Companies. Additionally, the Company sold a majority
of its equity interest in the operations of three of its Start-up Companies:
ChangeMusic Network ("ChangeMusic") and ePrize in April 2001 and Regards.com
in December 2001.

         The Company's current operations consist of actively participating in
the MSV Joint Venture, directing the operations of Miraxis and seeking other
complementary operational opportunities. The Company's principal assets
consist of its interest in the MSV Joint Venture, a promissory note from
Motient, its interest in Miraxis, its remaining investments in its venture
portfolio companies and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. As
a result of uncertainty with respect to the ultimate collection on the Motient
notes, the Company recognized a reserve for the entire amount of these notes
(see Note 3).

         As a result of the decision to discontinue the operations of Rare
Medium, Inc. and LiveMarket, the operating results reported in the statements
of operations as continuing operations include the consolidated results of the
Company, its MSV Investors Subsidiary, and its Start-up Companies through
their respective dates of sale or shutdown. The results of Rare Medium, Inc.
and LiveMarket are reflected as discontinued operations.

         (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of
December 31, 2001 and 2002, Rare Medium, Inc. has cash equivalents in the
amount of $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, supporting letters of
credit issued for certain real estate leases (see Note 16).

         (c) Short-Term Investments

         The Company classifies investments in short-term debt securities as
held to maturity. These investments are diversified among high credit quality
securities in accordance with the Company's investment policy. The Company has
both the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The cost of
these securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity over the contractual life of the security. Such
amortization and accretion are included in interest income.

         The Company classified its investment in XM Satellite Radio common
stock as an available-for-sale, marketable security and reported such
investment at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses recorded in
stockholders' equity. Gains and losses are recognized in our statements of
operations when realized. At December 31, 2001, the reported value of XM
Satellite Radio in our balance sheet was approximately $91.8 million,
resulting in an unrealized gain of approximately $60.3 million. During 2002,
the Company sold its shares of XM Satellite Radio for $16.6 million and
recognized a loss on the sale of $14.9 million.

         (d) Property and Equipment

         The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The
estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

                                                               Years
                                                               -----

             Computer equipment and software................   3 to 5

             Furniture and fixtures.........................   5 to 7

         Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement,
whichever is shorter.

         (e) Goodwill and Intangibles

         In accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 17
(which was subsequently superceded by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 142), goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase
price over fair value of net assets acquired, was amortized on a straight-line
basis over the expected period to be benefited, which was typically three
years. Accumulated amortization amounted to nil at December 31, 2001 and 2002.
In connection with discontinuation of the operations of Rare Medium, Inc. and
LiveMarket (see Note 11), and with the sale or shutdown of all the Start-up
Companies (see Note 12(c)), all remaining goodwill balances were written off
in 2001. As such, for the year ended December 31, 2001, included in "Loss from
Discontinued Operations" and "Loss on Investments in Affiliates" is $19.0
million and $4.9 million, respectively related to the impairment of goodwill.

         Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

         (f) Revenue Recognition

         Advertising revenues derived from the delivery of advertising
impressions were recognized in the period the impressions are delivered,
provided the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

         Advertising revenues from ChangeMusic publications were recognized at
the time the related publications were sent to the subscriber or were
available at newsstands. Subscription revenue was deferred and recognized as
income over the subscription period. Revenues related to newsstand magazine
sales were recognized at the time that the publications were available at the
newsstands, net of estimated returns.

         Revenues from the Internet services business, which was one of our
discontinued operations, were recognized using the percentage-of-completion
method for fixed price contracts and as time was incurred for time and
materials contracts, provided the collection of the resulting receivable was
reasonably assured. To the extent costs incurred and anticipated costs to
complete projects in progress exceed anticipated billings, a loss was
recognized in the period such determination was made for the excess.

         (g) Investments in Affiliates

         The Company accounts for its investments in affiliates in which it
owns less than 20% of the voting stock and does not possess significant
influence over the operations of the investee, under the cost method of
accounting. The Company accounts for those investments where the Company owns
greater than 20% of the voting stock and possesses significant influence under
the equity method.

         (h) 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 for 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.

         (i) Stock Option Plans

         The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"),
which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB Opinion No. 25"), as
clarified by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No.
44, "Accounting For Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," and
provides pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for
employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the
fair-value-based method, as defined in SFAS No. 123, had been applied. The
Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
the pro forma disclosure required by SFAS No. 123 (see Note 13).

         APB Opinion No. 25 does not require the recognition of compensation
expense for stock options granted to employees at fair market value. However,
any modification to previously granted awards generally results in
compensation expense or contra-expense recognition using the cumulative
expense method, calculated based on quoted prices of the Company's common
stock and vesting schedules of underlying awards. For the year ended December
31 2001, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.2 million relating
to the re-pricing of stock options. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the
Company recognized compensation contra-expense of $0.2 million resulting from
the decrease in the price of the Company's common stock.

         The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to pro
forma net loss as if the fair value method had been applied to all awards:




                                                                                2000           2001         2002
                                                                           --------------   ------------ -----------

                                                                           --------------   ------------ -----------
Pro forma net loss                                                            $(178,318)     $(187,626)    $(4,832)
                                                                           ==============   ============ ===========
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share:
   As reported                                                                  $(28.26)       $(34.87)     $(1.26)
   Pro forma                                                                    $(37.58)       $(31.31)     $(1.33)




         Pro forma net loss reflects only options granted after January 1,
1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation expense for stock
options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net loss amounts
because compensation expense is reflected over the various options' vesting
period and compensation expense for options granted prior to January 1, 1995
is not considered.

         The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted
during 2000, 2001 and 2002 was $18.52, $0.81 and $0.62, respectively, on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: (1) a risk free interest rate ranging from 5.8% to 6.5% in 2000,
2.5% to 5.3% in 2001 and 1.6% to 5.4% in 2002, (2) an expected life of three
years in 2000, 2001 and 2002, (3) volatility of approximately 139% in 2000,
162% in 2001 and 164% in 2002, and (4) an annual dividend yield of 0% for all
years.

         (j) Use of Estimates

         Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

         (k) Net Loss Per Share

         Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income
or net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common
stock. Net loss and weighted average shares outstanding used for computing
diluted loss per common share were the same as that used for computing basic
loss per common share.

         For the purposes of computing EPS from continuing operations, the
Company had potentially dilutive common stock equivalents of 584,672, 8,372
and nil for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively,
made up of stock options. In addition, the Company had potentially dilutive
common stock equivalents of 2,374,207, nil and nil related to the Series A
convertible preferred stock, Series 1-A and Series 2-A warrants and other
common stock warrants for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
respectively. These common stock equivalents were not included in the
computation of earnings per common share because they were antidilutive on
continuing operations for the periods presented.

         (l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments
and the investment in XM Satellite Radio common stock approximate book value.
The fair value of the convertible note receivable from the MSV Joint Venture
approximates book value based on the equity value of the MSV Joint Venture's
recent funding transactions. The Company also holds a promissory note from
Motient with a principal amount of $19.0 million. As a result of uncertainty
with respect to the ultimate collection on the Motient note, the Company
maintains a reserve for the entire amount of the note (see Note 3).

         (m) Concentration of Credit Risk

         Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and the note receivable from the MSV Joint Venture. Cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments consist of deposits, money market
funds, and commercial paper placed with various high credit quality financial
institutions.

         The note receivable by the MSV Investors Subsidiary from the MSV
Joint Venture is convertible into approximately 30.9% of the equity interests
in the joint venture (see Note 2). The Company holds an approximate 80%
interest in the MSV Investors Subsidiary.

         (n) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

         In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability
for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and
measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002 and will not have a material impact on the Company's results
of operations. The Company accounted for the discontinued operations of Rare
Medium, Inc. in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 and,
accordingly, charged to our statement of operations in 2001 all appropriate
exit costs for plans approved by management before December 31, 2001.

         In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS
No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), to
provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes
to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim
financial statements about the effects on reported net income of an entity's
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2002 and have been incorporated into these financial statements
and accompanying footnotes.

         (o) Reclassifications

         Certain reclassifications, primarily related to discontinued
operations (see Note 11) and the one for ten reverse stock split, have been
made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to the current year's
presentation.

(2)      Interest in the MSV Joint Venture

         On November 26, 2001, through its MSV Investors Subsidiary, the
Company purchased a $50.0 million interest in the MSV Joint Venture in the
form of a convertible note with a principal amount of $50.0 million.
Immediately prior to the purchase of the convertible note, the Company
contributed $40.0 million to its MSV Investors Subsidiary and a group of
unaffiliated third parties collectively contributed $10.0 million. The note
bears interest at a rate of 10% per year, has a maturity date of November 26,
2006, and is convertible at any time at the option of its MSV Investors
Subsidiary into equity interests in the MSV Joint Venture.

         On August 13, 2002, the MSV Joint Venture completed a rights offering
allowing its investors to purchase their pro rata share of an aggregate $3.0
million of newly issued convertible notes with terms similar to the
convertible note already held by the MSV Investors Subsidiary. The MSV
Investors Subsidiary exercised its basic and over subscription rights and
purchased approximately $1.1 million of the convertible notes. Following this
purchase of the additional convertible note, the MSV Investors Subsidiary
would own, upon conversion, 30.9% of the equity interests in the MSV Joint
Venture. The group of unaffiliated third parties collectively contributed $0.2
million to the MSV Investors Subsidiary in connection with the MSV Joint
Venture rights offering.

         Pursuant to the joint venture agreement among the partners of the MSV
Joint Venture (the "MSV Joint Venture Agreement"), in the event that the MSV
Joint Venture receives final regulatory approval from the FCC by March 31,
2003 for its ATC applications, as those terms are defined in the MSV Joint
Venture Agreement, the Other MSV Investors are obligated to invest an
additional $50.0 million in the MSV Joint Venture. If this additional
investment were to occur by March 31, 2003, the convertible notes held by the
MSV Investors Subsidiary will automatically convert into equity interests, and
the MSV Investors Subsidiary would own approximately 23.7% of the equity
interests in the MSV Joint Venture. It is unlikely that final regulatory
approval from the FCC will be received by March 31, 2003.

         The $10.2 million received from unaffiliated persons as an investment
into the MSV Investors Subsidiary, as well as their share of the equity in
earnings of the MSV Investors Subsidiary, is reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements as minority interest.

(3)      Notes Receivable from Motient

         On April 2, 2001, the Company agreed to purchase from Motient 12.5%
secured promissory notes, issuable in two tranches, each in the principal
amount of $25.0 million. The notes were collateralized by five million shares
of XM Satellite Radio common stock owned by Motient. The first tranche was
purchased on April 4, 2001, and the second tranche was purchased on July 16,
2001. The principal of and accrued interest on the notes were payable on
October 1, 2001 in either cash, shares of XM Satellite Radio, or any
combination thereof at Motient's option, as set forth in the agreement. At the
option of the Company, the notes were exchangeable for a number of XM
Satellite Radio shares based on a formula, as set forth in the agreement.

         On May 14, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with
a subsidiary of Motient. By a letter agreement dated October 1, 2001, Motient
and the Company terminated the planned merger. As a result of the termination,
neither the Company nor Motient shall have any obligation to the other party,
except for repayment by Motient to the Company of amounts outstanding under
the promissory notes.

         On October 1, 2001, and again on October 8, 2001, the Company
extended the maturity date of the notes. On October 12, 2001, in accordance
with the terms of the notes, the Company received five million shares of XM
Satellite Radio as payment for $26.2 million of the notes and accrued
interest. The maturity date for the remaining balance of the Motient Notes in
the principal amount of approximately $26.2 million, and interest thereon, was
extended for 60 days. On January 10, 2002, Motient and its subsidiaries filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As part
of its filing, Motient indicated that it would likely challenge the Company's
right to the $26.2 million outstanding principal balance and accrued interest
thereon, as well as the delivery of the shares of XM Satellite Radio common
stock as partial repayment of the aggregate $50.0 million principal amount of
the notes. As a result of uncertainty with respect to the ultimate collection
on the notes, a reserve was recognized for the entire amount. This loss of
approximately $26.9 million was partially offset by a gain of $5.3 million
that resulted from the difference between the value of the XM Satellite Radio
common stock received in connection with partial repayment of the Motient
notes in accordance with their terms and the value of the XM Satellite Radio
common stock using its closing price on the date of the partial repayment. The
results of these transactions are reflected in other expense, net on the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

         On May 1, 2002, to mitigate the risk, uncertainties and expenses
associated with Motient's plan of reorganization, the Company cancelled the
outstanding amounts due under the original promissory notes issued by Motient
and accepted a new note in the principal amount of $19.0 million (the "New
Motient Note") that was issued by a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient
that owns 100% of Motient's interests in the MSV Joint Venture ("MSV Holdings
Inc."). The New Motient Note is due on May 1, 2005 and bears interest at a
rate of 9% per annum. Although the New Motient Note is unsecured, there are
material restrictions placed on MSV Holdings Inc.'s assets, and MSV Holdings
Inc. is prohibited from incurring or guarantying any debt in excess of $21.0
million (including the New Motient Note). Additionally, there are events of
default (e.g., a bankruptcy filing by Motient) that would accelerate the due
date of the New Motient Note. As a result of the uncertainty with respect to
the ultimate collection on the New Motient Note, a reserve continues to be
maintained for the entire amount of the note (see Note 16).

(4)      Investments in Affiliates

         The following is a summary of the carrying value of investments held
by the Company at December 31 (in thousands):

                                         2001                 2002

                                    ==============     ================

         For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company recognized a loss
on investment in affiliates of $11.1 million consisting of $5.4 million for
the impairment to the carrying value of certain affiliates accounted for under
the cost method and $3.3 million for its proportionate share of affiliates'
operating losses and $2.4 million for the amortization of its net excess
investment over its equity in each affiliate's net assets for those affiliates
accounted for under the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
the Company recognized a loss on investment in affiliates of $54.6 million
consisting of $43.8 million for the impairment to the carrying value of
certain affiliates accounted for under the cost method, $3.6 million for the
realized loss on the sale of publicly traded securities, $0.5 million for its
proportionate share of affiliates' operating losses and $2.2 million for
amortization of its net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate's
net assets for those affiliates accounted for under the equity method, and
$4.5 million related to the sale or shutdown of its Start-up Companies. For
the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized a loss on investment
in affiliates of $0.4 million consisting primarily of $0.4 million for its
proportionate share of affiliates' operating losses for those affiliates
accounted for under the equity method.

         During the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, the
Company's discontinued subsidiary Rare Medium, Inc. recognized revenue of
approximately $11.9 million, $4.5 million and nil for services provided to
affiliates which is included in the loss from discontinued operations.

(5)      Investment in XM Satellite Radio

         The Company classified its investment in XM Satellite Radio common
stock as an available-for-sale, marketable security and reported such
investment at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses recorded in
stockholders' equity. Gains and losses are recognized in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations when realized or when a decline in value
is considered to be other than temporary. During the year ended December 31,
2002, the Company sold its 5,000,000 shares of XM Satellite Radio common stock
at an average price of $3.36 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $16.6
million. These sales resulted in a loss of approximately $14.9 million which
is included in "Other Expense, Net" on the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations. At December 31, 2001, the reported value of the
shares in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $91.8 million, or
$18.36 per share, resulting in an unrealized gain of approximately $60.3
million.

(9)      Stockholders' Equity

         Common Stock Transactions

         In 2000, the Company issued 86,272 shares of common stock as
consideration for the purchase of Internet services business and start-up
acquisitions. The fair value of the common stock was determined based on the
average trading price of the Company's common stock at the time of the
respective acquisitions.

         In 2000, the Company issued 5,316 shares of common stock to certain
beneficial holders of the note held by the former shareholders of Rare Medium,
Inc. in exchange for the principal amount of the note and accrued interest.

         On January 14, 2000, the Company sold 250,000 shares of its common
stock for gross proceeds of $70.1 million (net proceeds of $65.7 million) in a
private transaction to a group of mutual funds managed by Putnam Investments
and Franklin Resources, Inc. On April 18, 2000, the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of such shares as
required by the purchase agreement executed in connection with such private
transaction.

         On March 29, 2000, the Company sold 300,000 shares of its common
stock for gross proceeds of $186.0 million (net proceeds of $175.2 million) in
a public offering underwritten by Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation,
Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.

         On August 22, 2000, the Company issued 1,270,948 shares of common
stock to holders of the Company's Series 1-A Warrants as a result of a
cashless exercise of all Series 1-A Warrants outstanding at that time. The
effective exercise price at the time of exercise was $0.01 per share. The
Company withheld 998 shares of common stock as payment of the aggregate
exercise price.

         On November 19, 2001, the Company entered into a settlement agreement
with its former public relations firm in order to resolve a dispute concerning
the Company's alleged failure to deliver options covering a number of shares
of the Company's common stock that were allegedly owed relating to past
services rendered which allegedly resulted in damages of $12.8 million to the
public relations firm. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company,
among other things, issued 125,000 shares of unregistered common stock to the
firm and an option to purchase an additional 4,700 unregistered shares of
common stock. The fair value of this consideration approximated $1.2 million.

         On July 16, 2002, the Company sold 9,138,105 shares of common stock
for gross proceeds of $18.4 million (net proceeds of $17.0 million) in a
rights offering. In connection with the settlement of the class action
lawsuit, the Company distributed to each holder of record of common stock,
warrants and preferred stock, as of the close of business on May 16, 2002, one
non-transferable right to purchase one additional share of common stock, for
each share held, at a purchase price of $2.01 per share. Included in the
rights offering is the advance purchase by the Apollo Stockholders of
3,876,584 shares of non-voting common stock in April 2002 as described below
and an additional 5,113,628 shares of non-voting common stock purchased by the
Apollo Stockholders pursuant to their over subscription privilege (see Note
16).

(10)     Redeemable Preferred Stock

         On June 4, 1999, the Company issued and sold to Apollo Investment
Fund IV, LP, Apollo Overseas Partners IV, LP and AIF IV/RRRR LLC (collectively
with AP/RM Acquisition LLC, the "Apollo Stockholders"), for an aggregate
purchase price of $87.0 million, 126,000 shares of the Company's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 126,000 Series
1-A Warrants (the "Series 1-A Warrants"), 1,916,994 Series 2-A Warrants (the
"Series 2-A Warrants"), 744,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred
Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), 744,000 Series 1-B Warrants (the
"Series 1-B Warrants") and 10,345,548 Series 2-B Warrants (the "Series 2-B
Warrants"). As approved at the Company's 1999 annual meeting of stockholders,
all Series B securities were converted to Series A securities.

         The Series A Preferred Stock are subject to mandatory and optional
redemption. On June 30, 2012, the Company will be required to redeem all
Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. At the option
of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock can be redeemed after June 30,
2002 provided that the trading price of the Company's common stock for each of
the preceding 30 trading days is greater than $120.00 per share, or after June
30, 2004 at a price of 103% of the face value of the Series A Preferred Stock
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of a change of control, as
defined, at the option of the holders of the majority of the then outstanding
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company is required to redeem all
or any number of such holders' shares of Series A Preferred Stock plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends. As a result of the rights offering, the
conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock was adjusted, pursuant to
certain anti-dilution provisions as defined, from $70.00 to $68.50 per share.
The conversion price is subject to further adjustment pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions.

         From the date of issuance to June 30, 2002, the quarterly dividends
on the Series A securities were based on a rate of 7.5% per annum and were
paid in additional shares of Series A securities. Under the terms of the
securities purchase agreement, from July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2004, the
quarterly dividend is based on a rate of 4.65% per annum and is payable, at
the option of the holder, in additional shares of Series A securities or cash.
As part of the settlement of the class action lawsuit, the Apollo Stockholders
agreed to accept payment in additional shares of Series A securities.
Dividends paid from July 1, 2004 through the date of redemption will be based
on a rate of 4.65% per annum and will be payable in cash.

         The exercise price and the number of shares for which the Series 1-A
and Series 2-A warrants are exercisable for is subject to adjustment under
certain anti-dilution and other provisions as defined. As such, as a result of
the issuance of additional shares of common stock in the rights offering at a
price below the conversion price of the warrants at the time of the offering,
the exercise price of the Series 1-A warrants was adjusted from $42.00 to
$41.12, and the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Series 1-A warrant was adjusted from 1.35 to 1.379
shares. The exercise price of the Series 2-A warrants was adjusted from $70.00
to $68.50, and the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable
upon the exercise of each Series 2-A warrant was adjusted from 0.1 to 0.1022
shares. The Series 1-A and Series 2-A warrants are exercisable at any time and
expire ten years from the date issued. The holders of the Series 1-A and
Series 2-A warrants have the option to pay the exercise price of the warrant
in cash, Company common stock previously held, or instructing the Company to
withhold a number of Company shares with an aggregate fair value equal to the
aggregate exercise price.

         As of December 31, 2002, assuming that the Apollo Stockholders
convert all their shares of Series A Preferred Stock and exercise all their
Series 1-A and Series 2-A warrants, they would own approximately 73.4% of the
Company's outstanding common stock. On January 2, 2003, pursuant to the
settlement of the class action lawsuit, 22,218 Series 1-A warrants and
2,452,509 Series 2-A warrants were cancelled. After the warrant cancellation
and assuming all remaining Series A securities are converted, the Apollo
Stockholders would own approximately 72.0% of the Company's outstanding common
stock.

         At the time of issuance, the Company ascribed value to the Series A
securities based on their relative fair value. As such, $29.9 million was
allocated to Series A Preferred Stock and the remaining $57.1 million was
allocated to the related Series 1-A and Series 2-A warrants. This transaction
was accounted for in accordance with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force 98-5
"Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features."
Subsequently, dividends have been recorded representing the accrual of the
quarterly paid-in-kind dividends and the accretion of the carrying value up to
the face redemption over 13 years.

(11)     Discontinued Operations

         At the end of the third quarter of 2001, a decision to discontinue
the operations of Rare Medium, Inc. and the LiveMarket subsidiary was made as
a result of the weakening of general economic conditions that caused many
companies to reduce spending on Internet-focused business solutions and in
light of their performance and prospects. During the year ended December 31,
2001, in connection with the discontinuance of these businesses, the Company
recorded a charge of $55.6 million related to severance and benefits resulting
from headcount reductions, an accrual for estimated losses of $2.9 million
during the wind-down period and the write-off of unamortized goodwill and
property and equipment, net of expected proceeds. Of the total charge of $55.6
million, the total non-cash write-offs were approximately $43.0 million. As of
December 31, 2002, the remaining assets of Rare Medium, Inc. and LiveMarket
totaled approximately $0.2 million, consisting of cash (excluding the $0.3
million of cash collateralizing a letter of credit) and other assets. The
liabilities of these subsidiaries totaled approximately $4.1 million,
consisting of accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the year ended
December 31, 2002, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $12.6
million as a result of the settlement of Rare Medium, Inc. liabilities at
amounts less than their recorded amounts.

         The discontinuance of these businesses represents the disposal of a
business segment under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30.
Accordingly, the results of these operations have been classified as
discontinued operations, and prior period results have been reclassified. For
the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, revenue from these
discontinued operations amounted to $117.9 million, $26.9 million and nil,
respectively.

         In 2000, Rare Medium, Inc. entered into a strategic alliance
agreement, as amended, with a software company (the "Partner") to assist in
the training of personnel and development and delivery by Rare Medium, Inc. of
solutions built utilizing the Partner's technology. Under the terms of the
alliance, the Partner was to provide Rare Medium, Inc. with refundable
advances of approximately $17.1 million, on an interest-free basis, to be paid
to Rare Medium, Inc. over the term of the two-year agreement, subject to Rare
Medium, Inc.'s compliance with certain requirements set forth in the
agreement. The amount and timing of the repayment of the advances were
adjustable based on Rare Medium, Inc.'s achievement of certain milestones in
accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Partner and Rare Medium, Inc.
had a dispute as to whether certain milestones were achieved. Efforts at
renegotiating the payment schedule and milestones were not successful. In July
2001, the Partner commenced an arbitration against Rare Medium, Inc. seeking
the return of the approximately $8.6 million, plus interest, that had been
advanced by the Partner. On May 6, 2002, Rare Medium, Inc. and the Partner
settled this dispute and certain related disputes with an affiliate of the
Partner, with Rare Medium, Inc. agreeing to pay the affiliate of the Partner
$0.9 million.

(12)     Business Transactions

   (a) Interest in Miraxis

         In May 2002, the Company acquired Series B Preferred Shares
and a warrant from Miraxis for approximately $0.4 million,
representing an ownership of approximately 30%. Miraxis is a
development stage, privately held telecommunications company that has
access to a Ka-band license with which it intends to provide satellite
based multi-channel, broadband data and video services in North
America. The Company has the right to appoint two of the seven
directors of the manager of Miraxis. Additionally, the Company entered
into a management support agreement with Miraxis under which the
Company's President and Chief Operating Officer provides certain
services to Miraxis through February 2003 in exchange for additional
Series B Preferred Shares and warrants being issued to the Company. In
addition, in December 2002, the Company acquired Series C Preferred
Shares and certain options and warrants from Miraxis for approximately
$0.1 million, increasing the Company's ownership interest to
approximately 39%. This investment is included in "Investments in
Affiliates" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is
being accounted for under the equity method with the Company's share
of Miraxis' loss being recorded in "Loss on Investments in Affiliates"
on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   (b) Acquisitions

         In June 2000, the Company acquired 100% of Friedland/Jacobs
Communications, Inc. by issuing 80,074 shares of common stock for a purchase
price of $14.8 million. Friedland/Jacobs Communications, Inc. was merged into
the Company's Rare Medium, Inc. subsidiary. The Company has accounted for this
transaction under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, $14.8
million was allocated to goodwill which represented the portion of the
aggregate purchase price, including acquisition costs, that exceeded the fair
value of the net assets acquired, and, until the decision was made to
discontinue the operations of Rare Medium, Inc., the goodwill was amortized
using the straight line method over three years. The results of operations
since the date of acquisition for Friedland/Jacobs Communications, Inc. have
been included in the accompanying statements of operations as discontinued
operations and the remaining amount of goodwill was written off.

         In connection with certain acquisitions made in 1999, the former
shareholders agreed to indemnify the Company for any losses resulting from a
breach of, among other things, their respective representations, warranties
and covenants. To secure the indemnification obligations of these shareholders
thereunder, 14,975 shares of the Company's common stock delivered to these
shareholders, included as part of the consideration, remain in escrow at
December 31, 2002, and the liability of these shareholders under such
indemnification obligations is expressly limited to the value of such shares
held in escrow. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company issued
540 shares of its common stock as additional consideration for acquisitions
made during 1999. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company issued
41,998 shares of its common stock and 8,000 stock options as additional
consideration for an acquisition made during 1999 and retired 4,394 shares of
its common stock as a reduction of consideration for acquisitions made during
1999 and 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company retired
286 shares of its common stock as a reduction of consideration for a 2000
acquisition.

         In January 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Notus
Communication, Inc. ("Notus"), a privately held Internet communications
company based in Atlanta that provided business to business Internet unified
messaging technology solutions. In connection with this acquisition, the
Company issued 5,658 shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $1.7
million, and an approximate 12% interest in its majority owned subsidiary
iFace.com, Inc. The Company's effective ownership in Notus, which was renamed
NoticeNow.com, Inc., was 85.5%. The Company accounted for this transaction
under the purchase method of accounting. The aggregate purchase price,
including acquisition costs, exceeded the fair value of the net assets
acquired by approximately $2.0 million. This amount was allocated to goodwill
and until the shutdown of Notus in the second quarter of 2001 was being
amortized using the straight-line method over three years. Included in the
accompanying statements of operations are the results of NoticeNow.com since
the date of acquisition.

   (c) Sale of Businesses

         In April 2001, the Company sold a majority of its equity interest in
two of its Start-up Companies: ChangeMusic and ePrize. The Company received
total aggregate consideration of $1.4 million, consisting of cash and a
promissory note with a principal amount of approximately $0.5 million. The
Company retained a 15% equity interest in ChangeMusic and a 5% equity interest
in ePrize. During 2001, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $2.5
million relating to the sale of ChangeMusic and a gain of approximately $1.5
million relating to the sale of ePrize. In December 2001, the Company sold the
assets of Regards.com. The Company received consideration of approximately
$0.1 million of cash. The Company recognized a nominal gain relating to this
transaction.

(13)     Employee Compensation Plans

         The Company provides incentive and nonqualified stock option plans
for directors, officers, and key employees of the Company and others. The
Company has reserved a total of 2.3 million shares of authorized common stock
for issuance under the Long Term Incentive Plan. The Company has options
outstanding under the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and Equity Plan for
Directors, but no new grants are being made under these plans. The number of
options to be granted and the option prices are determined by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the plans.
Options generally expire five to ten years after the date of grant.

         During 1998, the Board of Directors approved the 1998 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, ("Stock Incentive Plan") under which "non-qualified" stock
options ("NQSOs") to acquire shares of common stock may be granted to
non-employee directors and consultants of the Company, and "incentive" stock
options ("ISOs") to acquire shares of common stock may be granted to
employees. The Stock Incentive Plan also provides for the grant of stock
appreciation rights ("SARs"), shares of restricted stock, deferred stock
awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards to the Company's
employees, directors, and consultants.

         The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to a maximum
of 2.3 million shares of common stock and is currently administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under the Stock Incentive
Plan, the option price of any ISO may not be less than the fair market value
of a share of common stock on the date on which the option is granted. The
option price of an NQSO may be less than the fair market value on the date the
NQSO is granted if the Board of Directors so determines. An ISO may not be
granted to a "ten percent stockholder" (as such term is defined in section
422A of the Internal Revenue Code) unless the exercise price is at least 110%
of the fair market value of the common stock and the term of the option may
not exceed five years from the date of grant. Common stock subject to a
restricted stock purchase or a bonus agreement is transferable only as
provided in such agreement. The maximum term of each stock option granted to
persons other than ten percent stockholders is ten years from the date of grant.

         Under the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, which provided for the
issuance of up to 510,000 shares, the option price as determined by the
Compensation Committee may be greater or less than the fair market value of
the common stock as of the date of the grant, and the options are generally
exercisable for three to five years subsequent to the grant date. The
Nonqualified Stock Option Plan expired on July 18, 2000, and thereafter, no
new options can be granted under the plan.

         The Equity Plan for Directors was a fixed stock option plan whereby
vesting was dependent upon the performance of the market price of the common
stock. Under the Equity Plan for Directors, options may have been granted for
the purchase of up to 50,000 shares of common stock to outside directors.
Under the terms of the Equity Plan for Directors, the option price could not
be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the
grant. Subsequent to November 1998, grants of stock options to directors have
been made under the Stock Incentive Plan. Therefore, no further grants will be
made under the Equity Plan for Directors.

         In the third quarter of 2000, employee holders of stock options with
exercise prices at or above $300.00 per share were allowed to exchange either
all or 50% of their existing stock options for an agreement by the Company to
issue new options at a date in excess of six months thereafter. The Company's
obligation to issue new stock options was contingent on each participant's
continued full-time employment with the Company through such period. On March
12, 2001, the Company issued 142,631 stock options at an exercise price of
$16.56, the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
issuance of the new options, to those employees who had elected to participate
under this agreement. These transactions did not result in the recognition of
compensation expense.

         On October 5, 2001, the compensation committee of the Company's board
of directors determined that because the outstanding options held by certain
executive officers and employees were exercisable at prices that were
significantly above prevailing market prices for the Company's common stock,
they no longer provided an adequate level of incentive. Accordingly, to
reincentivize certain executive officers and employees of the Company and in
recognition of their service to the Company, the compensation committee
approved the repricing of the exercise prices of options to purchase an
aggregate of 32,833 shares of common stock to $1.30 per share, the fair market
value at the date of the repricing. On December 21, 2001, the compensation
committee approved an additional repricing of the exercise prices of options
to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock held by
non-management directors to $6.00 per share, the fair market value at the date
of the repricing. On October 15, 2002, in recognition of the Chief Executive
Officer's contribution to the Company, among other things, the compensation
committee of the Company's board of directors approved the repricing of the
exercise price of the Chief Executive Officer's outstanding options to
purchase 140,000 shares of common stock to $0.85, the fair market value at the
date of the repricing. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded
non-cash compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2001 of
approximately $0.2 million and non-cash compensation contra-expense during the
year ended December 31, 2002 of approximately $0.2 million.

(14)     Income Taxes

         The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the
Company's effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 is
principally due to the Company incurring net operating losses for which no tax
benefit was recorded.

         For Federal income tax purposes, the Company has unused net operating
loss carryforwards ("NOL") of approximately $189.1 million expiring in 2008
through 2022, including various foreign subsidiaries, and a capital loss of
approximately $66.7 million expiring in 2006 through 2007. As a result of
various recent equity transactions, management believes the Company
experienced at least one "ownership change" as defined by Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code in 1999. Accordingly, the utilization of its net
operating loss carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation in
offsetting future taxable income.

         The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets at December 31 are as follows (in
thousands):




                                                                 2001                 2002

         In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future
taxable income, and tax planning in making these assessments.

         Due to the Company's operating losses, there is uncertainty
surrounding whether the Company will ultimately realize its deferred tax
assets. Accordingly, these assets have been fully reserved. During 2001 and
2002, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $35.4 million and
$26.9 million, respectively. Of the total valuation allowance of $122.9
million, subsequently recognized tax benefits, if any, in the amount of $6.5
million will be applied directly to contributed capital. This amount relates
to the tax effect of employee stock option deductions included in the
Company's net operating loss carryforward.

         Due to changes in the Federal tax code, the Company received a refund
of approximately $0.4 million relating to alternate minimum tax paid in 1998.

(15)     Related Party Transactions

         In July 1997, the Company loaned $230,467 to its then Chairman in
connection with exercise of an option to acquire 82,753 shares of Common
Stock. The loan was in the form of a full recourse note, which matured in July
2002. Such note bore interest equal to the prime rate, with such rate adjusted
to the current prime rate at each anniversary date. Although the note was
reserved during 2000, the Company is currently assessing whether it will
pursue collection efforts.

         In May 2002, the Company acquired approximately 30% of the ownership
interests in Miraxis (see Note 12(a)). Prior to joining the Company, the
Company's President and Chief Operating Officer served as President of
Miraxis, a position he continues to hold pursuant to a management support
agreement. The Company's President and Chief Operating Officer currently holds
an option to purchase shares of Miraxis representing less than 1.5% of the
outstanding ownership interests.

         During 2002, in accordance with the terms of the Investment
Agreement, dated April 2, 2002, and the Amended and Restated Purchase
Agreement, dated June 4, 1999, each between the Company and the Apollo
Stockholders, the Company paid approximately $0.2 million for professional
fees resulting from the Company's rights offering and approximately $0.9
million for certain professional fees substantially associated with the class
action lawsuit and other indemnified legal actions, all of which were incurred
by the Apollo Stockholders.

(16)     Contingencies and Commitments

   Motient Notes

         On May 1, 2002, to mitigate the risk, uncertainties and expenses
associated with Motient's plan of reorganization, the Company cancelled the
outstanding amounts due under the original promissory notes issued by Motient
and accepted a new note in the principal amount of $19.0 million (the "New
Motient Note") that was issued by a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient
that owns 100% of Motient's interests in the MSV Joint Venture ("MSV Holdings
Inc."). The New Motient Note is due on May 1, 2005 and bears interest at a
rate of 9% per annum. Although the New Motient Note is unsecured, there are
material restrictions placed on MSV Holdings Inc.'s assets, and MSV Holdings
Inc. is prohibited from incurring or guarantying any debt in excess of $21.0
million (including the New Motient Note). Additionally, there are events of
default (e.g., a bankruptcy filing by Motient) that would accelerate the due
date of the New Motient Note. As a result of the uncertainty with respect to
the ultimate collection on the New Motient Note, a reserve continues to be
maintained for the entire amount of the note. If the Company recovers any
amount on the New Motient Note, adjustments to the reserve would be reflected
as other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

   Leases

         The Company has non-cancelable leases, primarily related to the
rental of facilities by Rare Medium, Inc., which is one of the Company's
discontinued operating subsidiaries. Future minimum payments, by year and in
the aggregate, under operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one
year or more consisted of the following at December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31:
   2003                                                   $1,673
   2004                                                    1,511
   2005                                                    1,191
   2006                                                      222

                                                        ---------
   Total minimum lease payments                           $4,825
                                                        =========


         Of the total commitment, approximately $90,000 in 2003 and
approximately $46,000 in 2004 relate to the lease for the Company's corporate
headquarters. Also included in the total commitment is $2.0 million, net of
secured letters of credit, which is guaranteed by the Company. Excluded from
total commitments is $4.4 million, net of secured letters of credit issued by
the assignee, relating to leases that have been assigned and require no future
payments by the Company or its subsidiaries unless there is a default by the
party to which the respective lease has been assigned.

         Total expense under operating leases amounted to $7.1 million, $3.1
million and $0.1 million for 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Rare Medium,
Inc. is holding funds in certificates of deposit which are maintained under
agreements to assure future credit availability relating to these leases. As
of December 31, 2001 and 2002, these restricted funds amounted to
approximately $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which is included
in cash and cash equivalents.

   Employment Agreements

         The Company is a party to an employment agreement with the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The agreement term is from April 15, 1998 to
April 15, 2003 and calls for a minimum base salary of $250,000 per year with
annual increases of his base salary of not less than 4% per year. The minimum
salary commitment for this agreement during its entire term is $1.4 million.
Additionally, this officer is entitled to incentive compensation equal to 2%
of the Company's revenues for such year in excess of the revenues of the
immediate preceding year. During 1999, the agreement was amended and restated
to affect a ceiling of $150.0 million on revenues of the Company for
determining the incentive compensation. In addition, the amended and restated
agreement provides that, in the event gross revenues exceed such revenue
ceiling, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors will
establish an incentive program for this officer that will appropriately
incentive him. Incentive compensation approximated $1.5 million, nil and $0.4
million, in 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. In 1998, this officer was
granted options to acquire an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at the exercise prices equal to $23.75 per share, the fair value
at the time of the agreement, which options will become exercisable ratably on
a monthly basis over a period of 60 months from the date of grant and expire
ten years from the date of grant. On October 15, 2002, in recognition of this
officer's contribution to the Company, among other things, the compensation
committee approved the repricing of the exercise price of outstanding options
to purchase an aggregate of 140,000 shares of common stock to $0.85 per share,
the fair market value at the date of the repricing. Additionally, on that
date, the officer was granted an additional option to purchase 155,000 shares
of common stock at $0.85 per share.

         The Company is a party to an employment agreement with the President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The term of the agreement is from
June 3, 2002 to December 31, 2003 and calls for a base salary of $200,000 per
year. Annual increases are at the sole discretion of the compensation
committee of the Company's board of directors. In addition, the officer is
eligible, based upon the achievement of certain subjective goals established
by the compensation committee, to receive a bonus of up to 75% of his base
salary following the end of each calendar year during the term of the
agreement. The officer also received an option to purchase 25,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share, the fair market value on
the date of grant. This option vests ratably every six months for two years.
In connection with the promotion to his current position, the officer received
an option to purchase an additional 75,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.85 per share, the fair market value on the date of the
grant. This option vests ratably every year for three years. In the event that
the officer is terminated other than for "cause" as that term is defined in
the agreement, he is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 50% of
his current salary and all stock options granted to him by the Company shall
immediately vest.

         The Company is party to employment agreements with its other
executive officers. Under these agreements, if, after 90 days following a
change in control of the Company, the executive terminates his employment, the
executive is entitled to receive severance compensation and benefits in a lump
sum payment consisting of one year of his current salary and the right to
exercise all vested stock options and unvested stock options which become
exercisable upon a change of control through the option expiration date for
such options.

   Settlement of Class Action Lawsuit

         A number of class action lawsuits were filed by the holders of the
Company's common stock in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
challenging the plan of merger with Motient Corporation that was ultimately
terminated on October 1, 2001. All of the complaints name the Company and
members of the Company's board of directors as defendants. Most of the
complaints name the holders of the Company's preferred stock, and certain of
their affiliates, as defendants, and some of the complaints name Motient as a
defendant. On June 22, 2001, the Delaware court entered an order to
consolidate all of the Delaware lawsuits for all purposes into a single class
action, In re Rare Medium Group, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No.
18879-NC. On August 7, 2001, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was
filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants
breached duties allegedly owed to the holders of the Company's common stock in
connection with the merger agreement and sought to stop the merger and/or
obtain monetary damages.

         On April 2, 2002, the Company and its preferred stockholders entered
into a Stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement") with the plaintiffs
relating to the class action lawsuit, which was approved at a court hearing on
December 2, 2002. In connection with the Settlement, the Company agreed to
effect a one for ten reverse stock split, to commence a rights offering and to
take certain other corporate actions. Also in connection with the Settlement,
the Company entered into an investment agreement with its preferred
stockholders who agreed to purchase in advance of the rights offering
3,876,584 of shares of the Company's non-voting common stock. This purchase
equaled the number of shares of voting common stock that they would otherwise
have been entitled to purchase in the rights offering, after giving effect to
the cancellation of 20% of the outstanding warrants in connection with the
Settlement. An affiliate of the preferred stockholders also commenced a cash
tender offer for up to 1,500,291 shares of the Company's common stock on April
9, 2002.

         Reverse Split of our Common Stock. As part of the Settlement, the
Company agreed to effect a one for ten reverse stock split in an effort to
assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market,
including the minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. The
one for ten reverse stock split was approved by the Company's stockholders on
July 11, 2002 and became effective on July 18, 2002.

         Rights Offering. In the rights offering, the Company distributed to
each holder of record of common stock, warrants and preferred stock, as of the
close of business on May 16, 2002, one non-transferable right to purchase one
additional share of the Company's common stock, for each share held, at a
purchase price of $2.01 per share. The rights offering was concluded on July
16, 2002, with 9,138,105 shares of common stock purchased for total gross
proceeds of $18.4 million (net proceeds of $17.0 million). Included in the
rights offering is the advance purchase by the Company's preferred
stockholders of 3,876,584 shares of non-voting common stock in April 2002 as
described below and an additional 5,113,628 shares of non-voting common stock
purchased by the Company's preferred stockholders pursuant to their over
subscription privilege.

         Advance Purchase by the Preferred Stockholders. Under an investment
agreement made in connection with the Settlement, the Company's preferred
stockholders purchased 3,876,584 shares of the Company's non-voting common
stock. This purchase equaled the number of shares of voting common stock that
the preferred stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to purchase in
the rights offering, after giving effect to the cancellation of 20% of the
outstanding warrants in connection with the Settlement. In connection with the
advance purchase, the preferred stockholders paid $2.01 per share for an
aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $7.8 million.

         Stipulation of Settlement. The Company and its preferred stockholders
have also agreed, among other things:

         o     that, in connection with the rights offering, the preferred
               stockholders will waive anti-dilution rights in their preferred
               stock and warrants with respect to the non-voting common stock
               acquired by the preferred stockholders in the advance purchase
               or their over-subscription privilege in the rights offering;

         o     that 20% of the warrants held by the preferred stockholders to
               acquire shares of common stock will be cancelled; and

         o     that the preferred stockholders will elect to receive dividends
               on their shares of preferred stock in the form of additional
               shares of preferred stock, in lieu of cash dividends, for any
               dividend payment date occurring after June 30, 2002 and on or
               prior to June 30, 2004.

         Tender Offer. As part of the Settlement, on April 9, 2002, an
affiliate of the preferred stockholders commenced a cash tender offer at a
price of $2.80 per share for up to 1,500,291 shares, or approximately 23% of
the Company's outstanding common stock. In accordance with the Settlement, the
$2.80 per share tender offer price equaled 105% of the average closing prices
of the common stock for the five trading days prior to April 9, 2002. The
tender offer expired on May 10, 2002. The preferred stockholders agreed that
so long as any tendered shares are held by them or any of their affiliates,
the preferred stockholders and their affiliates will cause all such shares
held by them, which would otherwise entitle the preferred stockholders and
their affiliates, collectively, to cast more than 29.9% of voting power of our
outstanding capital stock, to be voted pro-rata with all other votes cast by
holders of common stock. The tender offer was intended to provide additional
liquidity for the Company's common stockholders and, thereby, provide near
term support for the market price of the Company's common stock in light of
the one for ten reverse stock split.

         Payment of Attorneys Fees and Expenses. As part of the Settlement,
the Company agreed to issue 357,143 shares of the Company's common stock
(worth $1.0 million based on the tender offer price of $2.80 per share) to the
plaintiff's counsel as attorney's fees and to pay them $0.1 million for
expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized a
charge of $0.3 million relating to this settlement based on the $0.25 trading
price of the common stock on January 2, 2003, the date the shares were
issuable. The charge is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2002.

   Litigation

         A number of class action lawsuits were filed by the holders of the
Company's common stock in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
challenging the plan of merger with Motient Corporation that was ultimately
terminated on October 1, 2001. All of the complaints name the Company and
members of the Company's board of directors as defendants. Most of the
complaints name the holders of the Company's preferred stock, and certain of
their affiliates, as defendants, and some of the complaints name Motient as a
defendant. On June 22, 2001, the Delaware court entered an order to
consolidate all of the Delaware lawsuits for all purposes into a single class
action, In re Rare Medium Group, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No.
18879-NC. On August 7, 2001, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was
filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants
breached duties allegedly owed to the holders of the Company's common stock in
connection with the merger agreement and sought to stop the merger and/or
obtain monetary damages. On April 2, 2002, the Company entered into a
Stipulation of Settlement in which it agreed to effectuate a reverse stock
split, commence a rights offering and take certain other corporate actions.
The court approved the settlement on December 2, 2002. In connection with the
settlement, the Company agreed to issue 357,143 shares of the Company's common
stock (worth $1.0 million based on the tender offer price of $2.80 per share)
to the plaintiff's counsel as attorney's fees and pay the plaintiff's counsel
$0.1 million for expenses.

         On May 16, 2001, plaintiffs Jay M. Wolff, David Bliss, Tim Barber and
Steve O'Brien filed suit against Rare Medium, Inc., Rare Medium Group, Inc.,
and Rare Medium Texas I, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, Wolff, et al. v. Rare Medium, Inc., et al., CV
No 01-4279. The plaintiffs asserted claims for breach of contract, tortious
interference with contractual relations, tortious interference with
prospective advantage, and breach of implied obligation of good faith, arising
out of the plaintiffs' alleged attempt to engage in transactions involving
some or all of the approximately 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common
stock (prior to the reverse stock split) that the plaintiffs obtained in the
Company's acquisition of Big Hand, Inc. The plaintiffs sought unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs. On
October 31, 2001, the Court dismissed the case without prejudice. The
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on December 7, 2001 based on
substantially the same alleged facts. The amended complaint asserts the
following causes of action: (1) breach of contract; (2) tortious interference
with contract; and, (3) tortious interference with prospective business
advantage. The amended complaint also sought an unspecified amount of actual
damages, punitive damages, interest, and costs. On June 27, 2002, the Court
dismissed the case with prejudice. On July 16, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a
notice of appeal. On October 31, 2002, the plaintiffs filed their brief in
support of their appeal. The Company filed its opposition on December 16,
2002, and the plaintiffs replied on January 15, 2003. The Court heard oral
arguments on the appeal on February 27, 2003. The Company intends to continue
to contest this matter vigorously if the Court of Appeals overturns the
District Court's rulings.

         On November 19, 2001, five of the Company's shareholders filed a
complaint against the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and certain of
their current and former officers and directors in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, Dovitz v. Rare Medium Group, Inc.
et al., No. 01 Civ. 10196. Plaintiffs became owners of restricted Company
stock when they sold the company that they owned to the Company. Plaintiffs
assert the following four claims against defendants: (1) common-law fraud; (2)
violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule
10b-5 promulgated thereunder; (3) violation of the Michigan Securities Act;
and (4) breach of fiduciary duty. These claims arise out of alleged
representations by defendants to induce plaintiffs to enter into the
transaction. The complaint seeks compensatory damages of approximately $5.6
million, exemplary and/or punitive damages in the same amount, as well as
attorney fees. On January 25, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
complaint in its entirety. On June 3, 2002, the Court dismissed the matter
without prejudice. On or about July 17, 2002, the plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint asserting similar causes of action to those asserted in the original
complaint. On September 12, 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss on
behalf of itself and its current and former officers and directors. On
November 5, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a brief in opposition to the motion to
dismiss. The Company replied on December 9, 2002. The Company intends to
continue to dispute this matter vigorously.

         The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (along with the Engelhard
Corporation) are parties to an arbitration relating to certain agreements that
existed between or among the claimant and ICC Technologies, Inc., the
Company's former name, and the Engelhard/ICC ("E/ICC") joint venture arising
from the desiccant air conditioning business that the Company and its
subsidiaries sold in 1998. The claimant has sought $8.5 million for (1) its
alleged out of pocket losses in investing in certain of E/ICC's technology;
(2) unjust enrichment resulting from the reorganization of E/ICC in 1998; and
(3) lost profits arising from the fact that it was allegedly forced to leave
the air conditioning business when the E/ICC joint venture was dissolved. The
Company intends to vigorously dispute this action.

         On July 26, 2002, plaintiffs James D. Loeffelbein, Terrie L. Pham and
certain related parties filed suit against the lead plaintiff's counsel in the
class action lawsuit, the Company, certain of its current and former officers,
its former investor relations firm and a former employee of plaintiff
Loeffelbein in the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, Loeffelbein v.
Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach, LLP, et al., 02 CV 04867. The plaintiffs
assert claims for fraud, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty against all
of the Company and certain of its current and former officers in connection
with allegedly false statements purportedly made to the plaintiffs. The
plaintiffs have sought unspecified damages from the defendants. On September
11, 2002, the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the
District of Kansas. On October 11, 2002, the plaintiffs sought to have the
matter remanded to state court. The Company opposed this motion and intends to
dispute this matter vigorously.

         Though it intends to continue to vigorously contest each of the
aforementioned cases, the Company is unable to predict their respective
outcomes, or reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, if any, given the
current status of these cases. Additionally, from time to time, the Company is
subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company is of the
opinion that, based on information presently available, the resolution of any
such additional legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of its operations.
