NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of SAVVIS Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SAVVIS” or the “Company”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which management considers necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2004, the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.

On March 5, 2004, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary secured all regulatory approvals and closed its acquisition of the assets of Cable & Wireless USA, Inc. and Cable & Wireless Internet Services, Inc. together with the assets of certain of their affiliates (“Cable & Wireless America” or “CWA”). The results of CWA are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that the Company may hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of amounts supporting outstanding letters of credit, principally related to office space.

Property and Equipment

Communications and data center equipment, office equipment and other equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to fifteen years. Facilities and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease which is seven to fifteen years

Other Non-Current Assets

Other non-current assets consist primarily of deferred financing costs, the unamortized cost of naming rights to a sports arena in St. Louis, Missouri, facility rent and other deposits, and a note receivable. The components of this financial statement line item are in Note 7.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for the commercial customer contracts acquired in the WAM!NET transaction in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The commercial customer contracts acquired were valued based on their estimated fair value relative to the estimated fair value of the other assets received, including the incremental direct costs incurred in effecting the transaction.

Based on our evaluation of the useful life of the existing customer contracts, probability of renewals and projected cash flows from these customers, the assets are being amortized over a 3 year life. SFAS 142 requires management to evaluate the remaining useful life of the customer contracts each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the customer contracts’ remaining useful life changes, the remaining carrying amount is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.

The intangible assets acquired in the CWA transaction were valued by the Company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). Identifiable intangible assets acquired included: trademarks, patents, customer relationships, software and peering agreements. Useful lives of these specifically identified intangible assets are: indefinite for trademarks; 13 years for patents; 4 years for customer relationships; 5 years for software and 7 years for peering agreements. Details of the components of intangible assets as of the balance sheet date are in Note 6.

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt, and capital lease obligations approximate their fair values.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records any identified asset retirement obligations and the associated asset retirement cost in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”). The value of the obligation is assessed as the present value of the expected future payments to retire the assets. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to costs to remove leasehold improvements and return the leased space to its original condition. Only cash flows related to legal obligations as defined in SFAS 143 are recognized. The associated cost of the asset retirement obligation are capitalized and depreciated over their appropriate useful lives as further discussed in Note 10.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist primarily of Managed IP VPN, Hosting, Digital Content Management, and Other Network Services, which are recognized when earned over the term of the contract or as services are delivered. Installation fee revenue and the associated installation costs are deferred in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”). Such deferred revenue and costs are recognized into revenue and data communications and operations costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over periods of up to 21 months, the estimated average life of a customer contract. For all periods, any services billed and payments received in advance of providing services are deferred until the period such services are earned. Revenues for estimated credits to be issued are recorded as a reduction of revenue based on historical credits issued and known disputes.

Trade Receivables

The Company classifies amounts owed to the Company and due within twelve months, arising from the sale of goods or services in the normal course of business as trade receivables.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company continuously monitors collections from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and specific customer information, generally not requiring customer deposits or collateral.

Data Communication and Operations Expenses

In the ordinary course of business, invoices from communications service providers will exceed the services the Company has actually taken from them. The Company’s practice is to identify these variances and engage in discussions with the vendors to resolve the differences. Accruals are maintained for the best estimate of the difference between what was previously paid to the vendor and the amount that will ultimately be paid to them. Variations in the Company’s estimate and ultimate settlement of vendor billings may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Other operations expenses include rental costs, utilities, other operating costs for hosting spacing, as well as salaries and related benefits for engineering, service delivery/provisioning, customer service and operations personnel. Indefeasible Rights of Use (“IRUs”) maintenance and operations costs are also reflected in this category.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Accretion

Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of the depreciation and amortization of communications equipment, capital leases, and intangibles. Generally, depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the associated asset, which ranges from three to fifteen years. Subsequent to the CWA acquisition, accretion expenses related to aging of the discounted present value of various liabilities including adjustments for contracts and capital leases are included in this line item. Consistent with historical presentation, the amortization of intangibles and depreciation of long-lived assets are reported in this line item. The CWA acquisition significantly increased the depreciable asset and intangible base as much of the value was assigned to IRUs of network capacity, communications equipment, and leasehold improvements.

Integration Costs

Integration costs represents the incremental costs to the combined organization of the CWA acquisition, including rationalization of facilities, retention bonuses, integration consulting by third parties and specific costs of the CWA asset purchase agreement including cure costs and contract rejection penalties. These costs provide current or future benefit to the combined company. These costs are direct incremental costs incurred to obtain the synergies of the combined companies and are not expected to continue once the Company has completed its integration plan.

Employee Stock Options

As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), the Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded as determined at the measurement date. Compensation expense was recognized related to option grants accounted for in accordance with APB 25 in the amounts of $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, and $2.7 million and $5.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

Table of Contents

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), the Company is required to provide expanded disclosures concerning stock-based compensation. New accounting standards may be promulgated which would require the Company to account for employee stock options in accordance with SFAS 123 which could have a material impact on the results of operations. Pro forma information regarding net income has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options granted to employees and non-employee members of its Board of Directors under the fair value method of the statement. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting periods.

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123 based on the fair value at the grant date, the Company’s pro forma net loss would have been as follows:

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which provides for the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes, applying the enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on tax loss carry-forwards and other potential tax benefits according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” because the future realization of the tax benefit is uncertain. As a result, to the extent that those benefits are realized in future periods, they will favorably impact net income. At June 30, 2004, the Company has approximately $470.0 million in United States net operating loss carry-forwards expiring between 2011 and 2023, of which approximately $248.0 million is subject to the Section 382 limitation of the Internal Revenue Code.

Foreign Currency

Results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries are translated from the designated functional currency to the United States dollar using average exchange rates during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date. Resulting gains or losses from translating foreign currency financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Loss Per Share

All loss per share amounts for all periods have been presented to conform to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. All stock options, warrants, convertible Series A Preferred, and convertible Series B Preferred shares outstanding have been excluded from the computations of diluted loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, there is no reconciliation between basic and diluted loss per share for the periods presented.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews the credit quality of its customers and generally does not require collateral.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates utilized in the Company’s financial statements include accruals for commercial disputes and billing errors by vendors, allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue credits, valuation of long-lived assets, and the valuation of intangible assets.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2004, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft, Share-Based Payment, as a proposed amendment to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Exposure Draft would require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the income statement based on the fair value of such payments. The intrinsic value method of measuring employee stock options under APB No. 25 would no longer be permitted. The FASB expects to issue a final standard late in 2004, which would become effective for our 2005 fiscal year. We have not yet quantified the impact of adopting the proposed standard, or considered what, if any changes should be made to our stock-based compensation programs as a result.

NOTE 2—CWA ACQUISITION

In January, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase substantially all of the assets of CWA. CWA, wholly-owned by Cable and Wireless PLC, provided a range of network and hosting services, including internet access to a Tier 1 IP network, colocation, hosting and other value-added services such as managed security and content distribution. The transaction, following approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and other federal regulatory agencies, closed on March 5, 2004. The results of CWA are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the closing date of the acquisition.

The Company paid $117.1 million in cash in addition to the assumption of certain working capital liabilities and leases for certain data centers and other facilities. In accordance with the CWA asset purchase agreement, the purchase price included the cost to fund CWA’s working capital losses from January 28, 2004 through March 5, 2004, which totaled $14.1 million. Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement to transfer its rights at closing to acquire four of the CWA data centers and one office facility to Du Pont Fabros Interests LLC (“Du Pont Fabros”) for $52.0 million paid directly to the CWA bankruptcy estate. The Company subsequently leased those facilities back from Du Pont Fabros for 15 years.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase under SFAS 141. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, pending final determination of certain acquired balances, accepted contracts and final resolution in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, is as follows.

Note: During the quarter the preliminary allocation of the purchase price was impacted by the resolution of certain acquired balances, the forfeiture of a long-term lease deposit, write-off of certain prepaid maintenance, and the recognition of certain deferred revenue where legal performance obligations exist.

11

Table of Contents

The estimated fair value of CWA assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeded the acquisition cost. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS 141, the excess value over the acquisition cost has been allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that otherwise would have been assigned to the acquired assets, except with respect to the following:

The amount reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation represents the Company’s current estimate of the liabilities relating to contractual agreements. Additionally, the liabilities assumed by the Company included adjustments to properly reflect the fair market value of long-term facility leases ($13.8 million); the idle capacity related to a long-term IRU operations, maintenance and power contract ($26.7 million); the cost of leased facilities that will remain idle ($18.9 million); and the obligation to rehabilitate the long term lease spaces at varying lease termination dates ($17.9 million). These liabilities are not a result of an exit plan, rather they relate solely to properly reflecting the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed.

The fair market value of the long-term facility leases was calculated considering the difference between fair market rents and contractually required rents in addition to any inherited “dark space” that is not expected to be utilized. Contracts have been reflected at their fair market value of the service to be provided at the time of the acquisition, in addition to any inherited purchase commitments for which the combined entity does not plan to utilize. The asset retirement obligation liability was calculated and recorded at the present value of expected future payments required to restore the lease space to it original condition.

The Company has $6.9 million of involuntary employee termination costs accrued in the opening balance sheet as a liability. The Company paid $1.5 million in severance payments during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The majority of the remaining amount is expected to be paid in cash during the second half of 2004. These costs meet the definition of costs to exit an activity of an acquired company as defined in EITF 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. Management began to assess and formulated a plan to terminate all redundant positions as of the acquisition date. In total, approximately 350 employees will be terminated in various departments. The details of the severance package have been finalized and include the costs of severance, insurance, and outplacement services. All employee terminations are expected to be completed by March, 2005, with approximately 90% completed by September, 2004.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and CWA, as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of each fiscal period presented, giving effect to certain adjustments, including depreciation, accretion, interest, the issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of additional debt. The pro forma information for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is the same as the actual results for the same period, as the companies were combined during the entire period. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company and CWA been a single entity during such period. The Company does not believe that the pro forma information is representative of the results of the combined business if it had been under the Company’s management during that time. The results for three and six months ended June 30,2003 include approximately $72.4 million and $115.0 million, respectively for restructuring charges.

NOTE 3—LONG-TERM DEBT

In the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued $200.0 million of its Series A Subordinated Notes (“Subordinated Notes”). The proceeds were used to fund the CWA acquisition and to fund the on-going operational, working capital and capital expenditure requirements of the Company related to the CWA acquisition. The debt issuance costs associated with the Subordinated Notes were $2.0 million and are classified as other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These costs consist of fees paid to the purchasers of the Subordinated Notes and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method until the

12

Table of Contents

maturity date of the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes accrue interest based on a 365 day year at a rate of 12.5% per annum until February 3, 2005 and 15% per annum thereafter, payable in kind semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The Subordinated Notes contain an early redemption feature, a make whole premium and a change of control clause. Upon a change of control the holders of the Subordinated Notes have the right to require the Company to redeem any or all of the Subordinated Notes at a cash price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest as of the effective date of a change in control. The Subordinated Notes mature in a single installment on February 9, 2009.

The $200.0 million in proceeds were allocated between long-term debt and Series B Preferred (Original Issue Discount) based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the Subordinated Notes is reflected as long-term debt and is increased for accrued interest on the $200.0 million proceeds as well as accreted interest on the Original Issue Discount. The fair value of the Series B Preferred was determined with the assistance of an independent third party appraiser. The allocated fair value of the Series B Preferred is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as components of Stockholder’s Equity / (Deficit) in the amount of $65.9 million in additional paid-in capital and $0.1 million, the par value, in Series B Preferred.

The following table summarizes the long-term debt activity for the six month period ended June 30, 2004.

NOTE 4—COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTIONS

Common Stock

An initial public offering of the Company’s common stock was completed in February 2000. A total of 17.0 million shares were sold in the offering at $24 per share. The Company received net proceeds from this offering of approximately $333 million.

In 2004, the stockholders of SAVVIS approved an increase in the authorized common stock to 1,500,000.

Warrants Outstanding

In connection with the Company’s recapitalization in 2002, five-year warrants were issued to Nortel Networks, Inc. and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) to purchase approximately 6.4 million and 9.6 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock at $0.75 per share. In the first quarter of 2004, GECC exercised their warrant pursuant to a “cashless exercise” and received approximately 7.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Additionally in 2002, the Company issued ten million five-year performance warrants to entities affiliated with Constellation Ventures (“Constellation”) to acquire shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. The warrants vested in a total of three tranches as Constellation earned the right to exercise the warrants when it met certain performance criteria related to aiding the Company in obtaining new business. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the first quarter of 2004, and the second quarter of 2004, respectively, Constellation met the performance criteria, causing each of the three tranches for a total of 10 million warrants to vest, which resulted in non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $3.4 million, $6.6 million and $3.8 million, with respect to each of the three tranches. The non-cash equity-based compensation expense was calculated using the Black-Scholes model and current market and company assumptions. In the first quarter of 2004, Constellation exercised their first tranche of vested warrants pursuant to a “cashless exercise” and received approximately 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

In 2002 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized 210,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and the Company issued 203,070 shares of Series A Preferred to entities and individuals affiliated with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (“Welsh Carson”), Constellation, Reuters, and other parties.

The Company incurred $3.0 million in offering costs related to the issuance of the Series A Preferred, which was recorded as a reduction of the Series A Preferred Stock balance in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

13

Table of Contents

The Series A Preferred accrues dividends at the rate of 11.5% per annum on the outstanding accreted value thereof (initially $1,000 per share). Dividends may not be paid in cash until after the eighth anniversary of the original issuance date. Accrued but unpaid dividends are added to the outstanding accreted value quarterly. As of June 30, 2004, accrued and unpaid Series A Preferred dividends totaled $56.9 million. The Series A Preferred is convertible into such number of shares of our common stock equal to the outstanding accreted value divided by the conversion price of $0.75. The Series A Preferred is entitled to vote on all matters (other than any voluntary repurchase of the Series A Preferred) submitted to the common stockholders on an as-if-converted basis and represented approximately 66% of the voting stock of the Company as of June 30, 2004. The conversion price of $0.75 was set a few days before the commitment date for the Series A Preferred issued in March 2002. On the commitment date, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $1.00. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $52.7 million, representing the $0.25 per share intrinsic value of that feature, as a return to the Series A Preferred stockholders in March 2002. The Company also recorded a non-cash beneficial conversion feature of $3.8 million related to accrued dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Below is a summary of Series A Preferred transactions as of June 30, 2004.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

During the first quarter of 2004, the Company’s Board of Director’s authorized 11.0 million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) at a $.01 par value. In connection with the issuance of the Company’s Series A Subordinated Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Series B Preferred to a group of investors that included existing stockholders related to Welsh Carson and Constellation. The warrants were exercised simultaneously upon issuance on a “cashless” basis into 6.6 million shares of Series B Preferred and, as a result, the outstanding Series B Preferred is convertible, upon stockholder approval, into approximately 65.5 million shares of common stock. The common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred will not be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act. The Company granted Welsh Carson demand and piggy-back registration rights and the Company granted the other stockholders piggy-back registration rights only.

Each share of Series B Preferred is automatically convertible into ten shares of common stock upon the receipt of stockholder approval. Holders of the Series B Preferred do not have voting rights but are entitled to dividends to the extent dividends are paid on the common stock. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Preferred will rank senior to the Company’s common stock and junior to the Series A Preferred.

The following table summarizes the number of diluted common shares on an as converted basis as of June 30, 2004.

NOTE 5—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Communications and data center equipment, office equipment and other equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to fifteen years. Facilities and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease which is seven to fifteen years. The following table represents the Company’s property and equipment by category.

Property and equipment were increased during the second quarter of 2004 by $12.9 million to reflect changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation related to the CWA acquisition.

Communications equipment under capital leases was $96.5 million as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Accumulated amortization for equipment under capital leases was $63.7 million and $60.9 million as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Facilities under capital leases were $52.0 million as of June 30, 2004. Accumulated amortization for facilities under capital leases was $1.1 million as of June 30, 2004.

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $13.2 million and $22.2 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for the same periods in the prior year was $10.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense for equipment and facilities under capital leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.2 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Amortization expense for equipment and facilities under capital leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was $5.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively.

The Company prospectively changed its estimate of legacy SAVVIS’ service life for communications equipment from 3 to 5 years as of April 1, 2004. The review of appropriate service life was computed in conjunction with the acquisition of CWA. CWA communications equipment assets were initially assigned a 5-year service life. The impact of this change was not material to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included herein.
