With our new data centers in New York andLondon now being pre-sold, we remain optimistic about demand.’ ‘Market turmoil and economic uncertainty have been major factors in our industry,’ said Brian Reach, SeniorVice-President and Chief Financial Officer. ‘We continue to be committed to reducing our operating costs andreaching profitability. Not only did we see smaller losses in the quarter, but our receivables also dropped to$20.4 million in the second quarter, down from $21.4 million at September 30, 2000, and down sequentiallyfrom $22.7 million in the fiscal first quarter. With more than 72% of our recurring revenue being generatedfrom enterprise customers, our revenue mix is one of the best in the industry. We will remain conservative inour guidance, given our current capacity constraints and our expectations for the continued replacement ofhigher-risk clients with more stable, creditworthy ones.’ Recent Events- Selected by Walmart.com for Internet services.
