                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

 

1.       Nature of Business and Organization

 

Nature of Business

 

         Register.com, Inc. (the "Company" or "Register.com") provides Internet

domain name registration and other online services such as web-hosting, email,

domain name forwarding and advertising. The Company has also marketed software

for creation of Internet websites.

 

         In April 1999, the Company was selected as one of the initial five

testbed registrars by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers

("ICANN"), an independent non-profit organization selected by the Department of

Commerce to manage and oversee the system for generic top level domain name

registration. In June 1999, the Company commenced online registration as an

ICANN-accredited registrar of .com, .net and .org domains.

 

Organization

 

         The Company originally operated as Forman Interactive Corp. ("Forman"),

a New York Corporation that was formed in November 1994. Pursuant to a Merger

Agreement dated June 23, 1999 by and among Register.com, a Delaware Corporation

formed in May 1999 specifically for the purpose of this merger, and Forman, the

stockholders of Forman exchanged their shares for an equivalent number of shares

of Register.com. References herein to the operations and historical financial

information of the "Company" prior to the date of the merger refer to the

operations and historical financial information of Forman.

 

Stock Split

 

         In January 2000, the Company effected a 3.5 to 1 stock split. All

common and preferred shares, options, warrants and related per-share data

reflected in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been

adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split.

 

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

         The interim financial statements have been prepared by Register.com

without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and

Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, financial statements

included in this report reflect all normal recurring adjustments which

Register.com considers necessary for fair presentation of the results of

operations for the interim periods covered and of the financial position of

Register.com at the date of the interim balance sheet. Certain information and

footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements

prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been

condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However,

Register.com believes that the disclosures are adequate for understanding the

information presented. The operating results for interim periods are not

necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year. These

interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Register.com's

December 31, 1999 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in

Register.com's final prospectus filed with the SEC.

 

 

                                       6

     

 

Revenue Recognition

 

         The Company's revenues are primarily derived from domain name

registration fees, advertising and online products and services.

 

Domain name registration fees

 

         Registration fees charged to end-users for registration services are

recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the registration term.

Substantially all end-user subscribers pay for services with major credit cards

for which the Company receives daily remittances from the credit card carriers.

A provision for chargebacks from the credit card carriers is included in

accounts payable and accrued expenses. Such amounts are separately recorded and

deducted from gross registration fees in determining net revenues. Referral

commissions earned by our private label and co-brand partners are deducted from

gross registration fees in determining net revenues.

 

Online products and services

 

         Revenue from online products and services is recognized over the period

in which services are provided, generally monthly. Payments received in advance

of services being provided are included in deferred revenue.

 

Advertising

 

         Advertising revenues are derived principally from short-term

advertising contracts in which the Company typically guarantees a minimum number

of impressions or pages to be delivered to users over a specified period of time

for a fixed fee. Advertising revenues are recognized ratably in the period in

which the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant obligations

remain, at the lesser of the ratio of impressions delivered over total

guaranteed impressions or the straight line basis over the term of the contract.

To the extent that minimum guaranteed impressions are not met, the Company

defers recognition of the corresponding revenues until the guaranteed

impressions are achieved.

 

3.       Initial Public Offering

 

         In March 2000, Register.com sold 5,222,279 shares of common stock

through its initial public offering including 222,279 shares through an over

allotment clause. Net proceeds from the offering and over allotment were

approximately $115.3 million, after deducting the discount granted to the

underwriters and other offering expenses. At the time of the initial public

offering, all of Register.com's preferred stock automatically converted into

4,694,333 shares of common stock.

 

4.       Investment

 

         In February 2000, the Company purchased 476,784 shares of Series A

Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to acquire an additional 95,357 shares
