PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Introduction IFX Corporation (IFX Corporation and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as "IFX", "IFX Networks" or the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1985. The Company's operations are headquartered in Miami, Florida. IFX has established a pan-regional Internet Protocol ("IP") network through a series of acquisitions and Company initiated start-up operations. The IFX network currently reaches over 100 cities in 14 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Uruguay, Venezuela and the United States. IFX has over 60 Company-owned Points of Presence ("POPs") with over 500 employees in the United States and Latin America. IFX's network infrastructure, which is marketed under the IFX Networks brand name, provides Internet network connectivity and offers a broad range of value-added services to multinational, ISP's, carriers and small to medium-sized businesses in Latin America. IFX has an extensive geographic network in Latin America using Lucent, Nortel, Cisco, Sun and IBM equipment. IFX previously marketed its network offerings in Latin America under the "Unete" brand name, but management believes that the name "IFX Networks" better reflects the focus of the company and plans on using the IFX Networks name going forward. Although the Company's primary focus is to pursue multinational, ISP's, carriers and small to medium-sized businesses in Latin America, the Company continues to provide consumer Internet product and services that result in higher gross profit due to its relatively low cost of revenues. IFX is a region-wide provider of Internet access and value-added IP based services focused on offering network solutions including region-wide wholesale and private label Internet access, dedicated fixed wireline and wireless Internet access, unlimited dial-up roaming access to IFX Network's POPs throughout the Latin American region, web design, web-hosting and co-location, dial-up local area network, or LAN services as well as virtual private network, or VPN services, and full technical support. The IFX network is composed of the following: . Over 60 Company-owned POPs. A POP is an interlinked group of modems, routers and other computer equipment, located in a particular city that allows a nearby subscriber to access the Internet through a local telephone call. . Approximately 39,500 Remote Access Servers, or RAS ports. . Network Operating Centers in 13 Latin American countries and the US. IFX continues to provide consumer Internet products and services in Latin America. 3 Network Operating Centers in 13 Latin American Countries and the US. Among the services offered by IFX Networks, there is the wholesaling of its IP network infrastructure to parties that wish to offer Internet services in the region, such as Tutopia.com, Inc. (referred to herein as "Tutopia"), a leading provider of free Internet access on a pan-regional level. Tutopia, which was a majority-owned and controlled subsidiary of IFX until August 31, 2000, pioneered free Internet access on a regional basis starting in January 2000 and currently, operates in 9 countries - Argentina, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela, with over 2 million registered users in the region. As of June 30, 2001, IFX had an approximately 48% interest in the shares of Tutopia. IFX Historical Background IFX was founded in 1985 as a commodities brokerage house. Since its initial public offering in 1985, IFX has been listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the symbol "FUTR". Prior to July 1996, IFX's primary business was providing commodity brokerage services. On July 1, 1996, IFX sold substantially all of its brokerage assets (other than certain assets of its then majority-owned U.K. subsidiary) to E.D. & F. Man International, Inc. ("MINC"), a unit of E.D. & F. Man Group, PLC, a London based international trading and finance conglomerate. The purchase price consisted of cash earn-out payments based upon the sold business's profitability through December 31, 2001. From July 1996 through February 1999, IFX's revenues consisted primarily of earn-out payments from the asset sale, interest income and income from operations of its former majority-owned British subsidiary, IFX Ltd., which conducts foreign exchange business as a registrant of the British Securities and Futures Authority. In November 1998, IFX decided to pursue an Internet strategy in Latin America, opened an office in South Florida and started recruiting new management and operational teams. In June 1999, IFX continued the divesture of its non-network business by selling its 50.1% interest in IFX Ltd. The purchase price consisted of $2.45 million in cash, a note receivable, and a redeemable preference share entitling IFX to quarterly payments equal to approximately 30% of the net profits of IFX Ltd. through June 30, 2002. In September 2000, IFX sold its IFX Ltd. redeemable preference share to the other shareholders of IFX Ltd. for $2.4 million, thus terminating IFX's right to earn-out payments from IFX Ltd. The IFX Network IFX operates a region-wide Latin American IP-based network, providing a reliable data transmission path connecting its customers to the Internet. In order to develop a network with region-wide coverage, IFX pursued an extensive acquisition strategy focused on acquiring established Internet service providers ("ISP's") with POPs in the major markets in Latin America that are operated by local management teams. . Network Infrastructure. The IFX network infrastructure consists of three primary tiers: local POPs; a middle tier, which connects the POPs to national hubs; and a backbone tier, which connects the national hubs to the Internet. The IFX network currently includes approximately 63 POPs owned by the Company and 26 virtual POPs operated by third-party network providers. Each POP is connected to one of IFX's 14 national hubs in each respective country through a dedicated point-to-point line, typically provided by a local telecommunications carrier. The Company's POPs are connected to the Internet by multiple leased, high-speed links, including both satellite-based connections and fiber optic connections. IFX believes that its network capacity is adequate for the provision of current and planned access and value-added services, but IFX intends to opportunistically expand its network as trans-oceanic and land-based network capacity becomes commercially available and as the need for additional network capacity arises. 4 IFX's network includes POPs in the following cities: ARGENTINA CHILE MEXICO --------- ----- ------ Buenos Aires Antofagasta Guadalajara Cordoba Chillan Mexico City Mendoza Concepcion Monterrey Rosario La Serena Toluca Los Angeles BOLIVIA Rancagua NICARAGUA ------- Santiago --------- Cochabamba Talca Managua La Paz Temuco Santa Cruz Valparaiso PANAMA Sucre ------ Tarija Panama City COLOMBIA UNITED STATES -------- ------------- BRAZIL Barranquilla Miami, Florida ------ Bogota Belo Horizonte Cali Blumenau Medellin URUGUAY Campo Bom ------- Canoas Ciudad de la Costa Curtiba Montevideo Florianopolis EL SALVADOR Pando Fortaleza ----------- Joinville San Salvador Novo Hamburgo VENEZUELA Pelotas --------- Porto Alegre GUATEMALA Barquisimeto Rio de Janeiro --------- Caracas Salvador Guatemala City Maracaibo Santa Maria Maturin Sao Leopoldo HONDURAS Porlamar Sao Paulo -------- Puerto La Cruz San Pedro Sula Puerto Ordaz Tegucigalapa Punto Fijo Valencia Valera . Network Management. IFX considers world-class network management essential for monitoring its network in multiple countries, maintaining high customer satisfaction and improving network quality. In addition to region-wide network monitoring capability at its headquarters in Miami, Florida, IFX has established network operating systems in multiple Latin American countries that monitor the performance of IFX's network equipment. With these systems, IFX is able to efficiently identify and correct network problems either remotely or by local dispatch. . Sales and Customer Service. IFX offers its service through a sales approach that makes use of local technical talent who understand customer applications to help provide bundled Internet solutions consisting of Internet access and other value-added services. This localized approach allows the Company to provide end-to-end customer solutions and ongoing support. IFX's direct sales force offers a core base of technically competent, locally based and experience Internet sales representatives. IFX provides business customers with technical support and customer service through its local customer service representative. 5 Business Strategy IFX's goal is to become a leading provider of IP based network solutions to multinational, ISP's, carriers, and small to medium-sized businesses in Latin America through the delivery of single source Internet solutions. IFX believes that many businesses are seeking to increase their use of the Internet as a business tool and are integrating web-based services into their business processes. Many businesses desire economical Internet access for their corporate offices and their employees who travel, thereby creating demand for region-wide dedicated and dial-up Internet access. In addition, IFX's management believes that within the business marketplace there is a significant opportunity to upgrade customers to increasingly higher margin value-added services. IFX anticipates that businesses will continue to seek to outsource certain information technology functions to full-service IP-based network providers, such as IFX, in order to reduce costs and improve results. Products and Services Business Products and Services IFX offers services in four basic portfolios: IFX Dedicated connectivity, IFX Dial-up, IFX Co-location, and IFX Web hosting to small to medium-sized businesses, multinationals, ISP's and carriers in business in Latin America. IFX dedicated connectivity . International Private Line ("IPL"): Point-to-Point Time Division Multiplex ("TDM") physical connection for a customer's exclusive use. The customer defines protocol and service. This service can be used for convergence of voice, video, and data for customers who require the highest level of security. . Private Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM"): Permanent Virtual Circuit from customer premise to customer premise running ATM protocol. Use includes mission critical data or voice transmission for customers that want high speed fixed bandwidth at a lower price then an IPL. . Clear Channel IP: Premium IP service for access to the global Internet with guaranteed bandwidth on IFX's backbone thereby providing network monitoring reports to guarantee quality of service. This product is ideal for ISP's, carriers, multinational companies or small and medium sized businesses that have mission critical data or for the use of voice over IP ("VOIP"). . Dedicated IP: Basic IP services for access to the global Internet for companies needing basic Internet connectivity. IFX dial-up . Wholesale Dial-up: Allows customers to utilize the dial-up connectivity resources of the IFX Dial Network on a wholesale basis. This product is ideal for ISP's, carriers, and multinational companies who require local country dial-up access, multi-country dial-up access, global roaming dial-up access or Virtual Internet Service Provider ("VISP"). . Corporate Dial-up: Unlimited roaming that enables end users to access the Internet or their corporate extranet while traveling. IFX co-location . Managed Co-location: Outsourcing the management and day-to-day operations at an IFX Data Center. Provides reliable and scalable network management around the clock. Intended for use by carriers, ISP's, and small to medium enterprises and multinational companies. 6 . Basic Co-location: Servers are maintained at an IFX POP for bandwidth management and reliable connectivity to the Internet. For customers needing space in Data Centers without remote hands-on support. IFX web hosting IFX offers web hosting products and services allowing customers to use IFX's web servers to maintain customer's independent web sites. With web hosting, businesses can create a presence on the Internet, furthering their business, marketing and customer service campaigns. IFX's web hosting products and services include web site maintenance and ongoing consulting services by IFX. Although the Company's primary focus is to pursue multinational, ISP's, carriers and small to medium-sized businesses in Latin America, the Company continues to provide consumer Internet products and services. Competition The market for Internet access and value-added products and services has become increasingly more competitive, especially in Latin America as Internet usage has grown, and management expects that this trend will continue. While Internet usage is lower in Latin America than in more mature markets such as the United States, many new entrants have been attracted by the large potential market size. Though the Company's specific competitors vary from market to market, they include the following types of businesses: [] Internet services providers. Depending on the market, IFX's primary competitors may be small, local Internet service providers with limited ranges of service and geographic reach, or large international or regional service providers with broad service offerings, large network capacities and wide geographic presence. [] Telecommunications companies. Many of the major international telecommunications companies offer Internet services in the same markets as IFX. Some telecommunications providers are subsidized or government owned. In several markets in which IFX Networks operates, former telecommunications monopolies have been deregulated and privatized, and have also become providers of Internet services. New telecommunication company entrants to these markets, which are beginning to use high-speed wireless technology to bypass overcrowded existing networks, are offering Internet and corporate data services as well. Generally, these network-based companies focus on consumer dial-up Internet access, large corporate accounts and customer bases that can generate high volume data traffic to carry on their networks. [] Cable television companies. Cable operators in some of the Company's markets have either introduced or announced that they intend to introduce Internet access services, both by upgrading their networks and using new, cable modem technology. The existing customers of those cable operators are primarily residential and their physical networks are largely limited to residential areas. Management believes IFX can compete effectively in the Latin American Internet market. However, any one of the following developments in Latin America could materially and adversely affect IFX's business, financial condition and results of operations: . Growth in the number or strength of strategic alliances among IFX's competitors continues to grow; . New platforms for Internet access arising from technological developments; . An increased number of global and local companies enter these markets; . Loss of users; . Reduced Internet advertising; . Loss of market share; . Reduced page views; . Price reductions and lower profit margins; and . Lower advertising rates. 7 IFX faces competition on both a country-specific and region-wide level. IFX's competitors may develop products and services that are better than the products and services that the Company offers or that may achieve greater market acceptance. It is also possible that new competitors may emerge and acquire significant market share. Some of IFX's established competitors and potential new competitors may also have better brand recognition and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than IFX. Government Regulation To date, government regulations have not materially restricted the Company's ability to offer Internet products and services in the Company's core target countries. However, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the Internet is uncertain and may change. New laws and regulations may be adopted or existing laws may be applied to the Internet and e-commerce. New and existing laws may cover issues like: . Sales and other taxes; . User privacy; . Pricing controls; . Characteristics and quality of products and services; . Consumer protection; . Cross-border restrictions; . Foreign investment restrictions; . Currency controls; . Licensing requirements; . Libel and defamation; . Copyright, trademark and patent infringement; . Pornography; and . Nature and content of Internet materials. Legislation in these areas could slow the growth of Internet use and decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium. It may take years to determine how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation apply to the Internet. Any new legislation or regulation regarding the Internet, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet, could have an adverse effect on IFX's business. The growth of the Internet coupled with publicity regarding Internet fraud can also lead to the enactment of more stringent consumer protection laws. These laws may impose additional burdens on the Company's business. Employees As of June 30, 2001, IFX employed approximately 500 employees. IFX believes that its success is dependent in part upon the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified, experienced employees. IFX considers its relationship with its employees to be good. Labor laws in Latin America are generally more protective of employees than in the United States. Unlike in the United States where an employer will often have the right to terminate an employee at will, most countries in Latin America have laws protecting employees from being terminated without paying severance compensation in established statutory amounts. In some Latin American countries, the law establishes a minimum number of vacation days. Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights IFX relies on trademark and copyright laws, laws restricting unfair competition, laws relating to trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with the Company's employees, customers, partners and others to protect its intellectual property rights. Courts and legislatures in each country continue to address the issues of the applicability and enforceability of legal principles concerning intellectual property rights in an Internet context, which remain substantially uncertain. Many of the countries in which IFX operates have signed international treaties relating to the protection of intellectual property. However, the courts in many of these countries have not had the opportunity to address the legal issues within the Internet context to the same degree as courts in the United States. Therefore, IFX cannot determine whether the intellectual property of its non-U.S. operations will be subject to a lesser or different degree of protection than that generally afforded in the United States. The Company uses "IFX" as the primary business name for its operations. The Company uses "IFX Networks" as a brand name for end products and services in Latin America. In Latin America, the Company pursues the registration of trademarks for marks that the Company believes are unique and will be used by IFX over an extended period of time. IFX has initiated its registration of the IFX Networks mark in most countries in Latin America. Where IFX has not registered our marks, competitors with senior rights in marks similar to IFX's may be able to argue successfully that IFX should be barred from continuing to use the IFX Networks mark, or competitors may adopt product or service names similar to IFX's, thereby impending IFX's ability to build brand identity, which could lead to customer confusion. It is also difficult and expensive to defend trademark infringement litigation and to police the unauthorized use of marks. IFX Networks starter software and installation programs are key parts of the services the Company provides to dial-up subscribers. IFX's goal is to automatically configure an individual user's Internet access programs after the user's initial entry with this software. IFX has obtained permission and, where necessary, licenses from the companies that manufacture the software that IFX uses. 8 DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY The directors and executive officers of the Company and their ages as of September 15, 2001 are as follows: Name Age Office ------------------------ ----- --------------------------------------- Joel M.

The Company leases office space in 200 West Adams Street, Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60606. This space served as the Company's previous corporate headquarters. However, this office space has been sub-leased in its entirety until the end of the lease, and for an amount equal to the lease payments. The Company leases office space in 707 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook, IL. This space also served as the Company's previous corporate headquarters. The Company also leases offices in 13 Latin America countries that are used for general operations, for sales offices and for equipment co-location. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a defendant in, and may be threatened with, various legal proceedings arising from its regular business activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any pending action or proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Legal proceedings with respect to discontinued operations In April 1994, Index, Futures Group, Inc. ("Index") without admitting or denying the allegations, paid $100,000 to the CFTC, settling an administrative action filed on September 29, 1992. In a related action, the equity receiver of a commodity pool operator brought an action to recover losses of approximately $600,000, alleging various theories such as constructive trust, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and conversion. On May 29, 1996, the district judge dismissed the complaint in its entirety. On December 4, 1997, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district judge's dismissal of all claims against Index. On January 13, 1998, the Court of Appeals denied the Supplemental Plaintiffs' request for a rehearing of its appeal. On October 2, 1998, the attorney for the equity receiver of the commodity pool filed a class-action suit on behalf of a putative class composed of persons who had given money to the commodity pool operator to invest, some of which was deposited in brokerage accounts at Index by the commodity pool operator. (Wesselhoff v. FX Chicago, Inc. et al., Circuit Court of Cook County, Chancery Division, case number 98-CH-13396). The plaintiff seeks damages of $600,000 plus prejudgment interest, punitive damages, and lost investment opportunity. The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint against FX Chicago, Inc. and the Company are without merit and will defend vigorously. A German citizen, seeking damages of 6,403,519.19 Deutschmark (approximately $3.0 million given the exchange rate as of August 31, 2001), filed a lawsuit in September 1998, in Germany, against an affiliate of E.D.& F. Man International, Inc. (MINC) which is a unit of E.D.& F. Man Group. The complaint arose out of transactions that occurred in an account introduced by Index Futures Group, AG ("Index AG"), an introducing broker of Index, prior to the asset sale. The Plaintiff alleges that under German law, MINC's affiliate is successor to Index AG, and thus assumed any liabilities of Index AG. Pursuant to the asset sale agreement with E.D.&F Man Group, Index is responsible for any liability "arising out of any state of facts with respect to such Assigned Contract existing on or prior to the Closing Date". MINC has retained counsel in Germany to represent its interests in this matter. As Index AG was an introducing broker of Index and not a former subsidiary of the Company or Index, the Company does not believe that it will ultimately be liable for damages. In April 1999, MINC's German counsel reported that the Dusseldorf District Court dismissed all claims against MINC. However, the plaintiff has filed an appeal with the Dusseldorf Court of Appeals. On August 23, 1999, a lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County naming Index and two individuals as defendants (Craig Bordon v. Sean S. Mayo, et al., 99L-09368). The complaint alleges breach of contract and damages "in excess of" $50,000. The Company has not yet been served with the complaint. Based upon the allegations as set forth in the complaint, the Company believes that the claim is without merit. 11 ITEM 4.

13 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis reflects the adjustments made to segregate the discontinued operations ("discontinued operations") that resulted from the sale of the Company's brokerage assets in July 1996 to E.D. & F. Man International, Inc., a unit of E.D. & F. Man Group, PLC, a London based international trading and finance conglomerate; and from divesture in June 1999 of IFX's 50.1% interest in IFX Ltd. Discontinued operations are shown under a separate line item on the Company's consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999; and in the Company's consolidated balance sheet for fiscal years 2001 and 2000 included elsewhere herein. In addition, during September 2000, the Company's voting interest in its majority-owned subsidiary Tutopia.com, Inc. ("Tutopia") fell below 50%. As a result, the Company deconsolidated Tutopia and began accounting for its investment under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company restated its fiscal 2000 consolidated financial statements as if Tutopia had been accounted for under the equity method since its inception in January 2000. In April 2000, Tutopia issued common stock representing approximately a 15% interest in Tutopia to shareholders other than the Company, at a price per common share exceeding the Company's carrying value for the Company's investment in Tutopia's common stock. The restated financial statements reflect an increase in the Company's investment in Tutopia of approximately $4 million as of June 30, 2000, to record the amount in excess of the Company's carrying value as a capital transaction. During the past two fiscal years, IFX has become a region-wide provider of Internet access and value-added IP based services focused on offering network solutions to ISP's, multinationals, carriers and small to medium-sized businesses throughout Latin America. Offerings include region-wide wholesale and private label Internet access, dedicated fixed wireline and wireless Internet access, unlimited dial-up roaming access to IFX Network's Points of Presence or POPs throughout the region, web design, web-hosting and co-location, dial-up local area network, or LAN services as well as virtual private network, or VPN services, and full technical support. The IFX network is composed of the following: . Over 60 Company-owned POPs. A POP is an interlinked group of modems, routers and other computer equipment, located in a particular city that allows a nearby subscriber to access the Internet through a local telephone call. . Approximately 39,500 Remote Access Servers, or RAS ports. . Network Operating Centers in 13 Latin American countries and the US. Among the services offered by IFX Networks is the wholesaling of its IP network infrastructure to parties that wish to offer Internet services in the region, such as Tutopia, a leading provider of free Internet access on a pan-regional level. Tutopia helped pioneer free Internet access on a regional basis starting in January 2000 and currently operates in 9 countries - Argentina, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela, with over 2 million registered users in the region. As of September 15, 2001, IFX has an approximate 48% ownership interest (assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into common stock) in Tutopia. 14 The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods indicated, the percentage of total revenues represented by certain items in the Company's consolidated statement of operations:

CONTINUING OPERATIONS Revenues The companies that IFX has acquired generally had both business and consumer customers at the time of acquisition. Management plans to grow IFX's customer base and revenues primarily by marketing Internet access and value-added services to the ISP's, multinationals, carriers and small to medium -sized businesses in the Company's markets. IFX expects that revenue from the sale of the Company's value-added services (such as dedicated line and web hosting and design services) will increase more rapidly than revenue from the sale of Internet access services. As a result, IFX's current customer and revenue mix is not expected to be indicative of the Company's future customer and revenue mix. IFX provides Internet access service to customers under contracts that typically range from one month for dial-up access services to one year or more for dedicated access services. 15 IFX also derives revenues by providing wholesale Internet access to businesses that resell such access on a branded or private label basis. Fees for wholesale access are generally billed on a monthly basis after services are rendered. Wholesale access customers are billed on either a per port basis or a per hour basis. Wholesale Internet access service revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. Revenues from value-added Internet services come from web hosting, domain name registration and co-location services. These revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. Internet access charges and fees for value-added services vary among the countries in which IFX does business, depending on competition, economic and regulatory environments and other market factors. In some markets, the Company has reduced prices, such as for access services, as a result of competitive pressure. The Company expects that price reductions will continue in IFX's markets as the demand for, and supply of, Internet services continue to grow. The period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations set forth below reflect acquisitions that we made during the applicable period. Results of operations from acquisitions effected during a period have been included from the time of the closing of the acquisition. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, total revenues increased to $32.1 million from $10.7 million, an increase of $21.4 million or 200.5% in fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000. Approximately $13.8 million of the increase is attributable to services provided to Tutopia, a related party. Revenues resulting from dedicated line services increased by $5.8 million to $7.2 million for fiscal year 2001 from fiscal year 2000 as a result of management's focus on corporate clients. Web hosting and design services revenues increased to $1.3 million from $0.4 million in fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000. Revenue relating to dial-up decreased 13.1% in fiscal 2001 to $7.2 million from $8.2 million in fiscal 2000, as the Company continues to pursue its business strategy of focusing on business clients and not individual dial-up consumers. Other revenue increased $1.9 million to $2.6 million in fiscal 2001 from fiscal 2000, of which approximately $1.6 million of the increase is attributable to revenues received from various Latin American telephone companies through revenue sharing arrangements. Revenues increased to $10.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2000, from $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 1999. The increase in revenues was related to the Company's expansion of IFX's user base resulting from acquisitions in Latin America and the growth in value-added services such as dedicated access. Costs of Revenues IFX Network's costs of revenues primarily consist of costs incurred to carry customer traffic to and over the Internet. IFX leases lines that connect the Company's POPs to IFX's national hubs. The Company pays third party network providers for transit that allows IFX Networks to transmit the Company's customers' information to or from the Internet. IFX also has other recurring telecommunications costs, including the cost of local telephone lines that customers use to reach IFX Network's POPs and access the Company's services, and satellite bandwidth costs to connect the national hubs to the Internet backbone via IFX's Miami facilities. Management expects operating costs from providing Internet services to increase as capacity is increased to meet customer demand. The Company expects that costs of revenues will decline as a percentage of revenues as IFX expands the Company's network facilities under long-term leases and as competition drives down the overall price of such services. Management also expects cost of revenues to decrease as wireless technology usage expands and the telecommunication markets in Latin America deregulate. Gross profit increased to 35.3% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 20.6% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The increase in gross profit results from management's continued efforts to reduce costs of revenues by increasing efficiencies of the Company's use of its equipment as well as solidifying IFX's network throughout Latin America resulting in the reduction of third party costs. Gross profit decreased to 20.6% for the year ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 38.6% for the year ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in gross profit was related to the Company's network expansion in order to accommodate the growth in the user base, especially for Tutopia and for dedicated access. 16 General and Administrative Expenses IFX's general and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of compensation costs. Compensation costs include salaries and related benefits, commissions and bonuses. Other general and administrative expenses include the costs of travel, rent, utilities, telecommunications, insurance and professional fees. Management expects that the Company's general and administrative expenses will increase to support IFX's growth. General and administrative expenses increased to $27.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the general and administrative expenses of $19.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily due to costs incurred to support the increase in sales during fiscal 2001. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased 96.5 percentage points to 84.1% in fiscal 2001 from 180.6% in fiscal 2000 as a result of management's cost reduction efforts. General and administrative expenses increased to $19.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2000 from $2.7 million for the year ended June 30, 1999. General and administrative expenses increased primarily because of the increase in payroll, which was increased to support the Company's revenue; and for legal, accounting and consulting fees related to the Company's continued expansion in Latin America. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising costs, distribution costs and related production costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.3 million to $3.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $2.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily due to costs incurred to support the increase in sales during fiscal 2001. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased 10.1 percentage points to 11.0% in fiscal 2001 from 21.1% in fiscal 2000 as a result of sales growing at a much faster pace than the Company's marketing expenditures. Sales and marketing expense increased to $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2000 from $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1999. The increase in fiscal 2000 from fiscal 1999 is primarily attributable to costs associated with the Company's growth in advertising during fiscal 2000. Depreciation and Amortization A large component of the Company's depreciation and amortization expense is related to the amortization of acquired customer base. The value of acquired customer bases, which is amortized over three years using the straight-line method, was created as a result of the allocation of the price paid to acquire a company that was in excess of the value of its tangible assets. Depreciation expense is primarily related to telecommunications equipment, computers and network infrastructure. Assets are depreciated over their useful lives, generally ranging from three to ten years. Management expects that depreciation expense will increase as the Company's network infrastructure is expanded. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $9.0 million to $17.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2001 from $8.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2000. The increase in depreciation and amortization is a direct result of increases in computer equipment and assets under capital leases that primarily consisted of computer and related equipment. Such assets were purchased to support the increased levels of operations and anticipated future growth of the Company. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $8.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2000 from $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1999. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is attributable to the increase in property and equipment and the acquired customer base due to the acquisitions the Company completed in Latin America during late fiscal 1999 and 2000. 17 Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation Expense For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded $7.2 million as non-cash stock compensation, an increase of $0.8 million from $6.4 million as recorded for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. IFX has recorded non-cash stock compensation totaling $6.4 million in connection with the grant of stock options to employees during the year ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $39,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999. The increase in fiscal 2001 is attributable predominantly to the amortization related to the increase of additional employee options in fiscal 2000. Amortization of such amounts in fiscal 2002 is expected to be approximately $4.5 million. Impairment of Acquired Customer Base At June 30, 2001, the Company estimated that the undiscounted cash flows associated with its acquired customer base may not be sufficient to recover the net book value of such assets. In accordance with SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), the Company has recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10.9 million. This non-cash impairment charge was at estimated fair value. The estimates of the fair value of the long-lived assets are based on a valuation of such assets performed by management. The estimated fair values, as required by SFAS 121, did not consider the value of such assets in a forced sale or liquidation and were based primarily on an analysis of the operations' discounted net cash flows. Contract Cancellation Costs During fiscal 2000, IFX recorded $4.9 million relating to the cancellation of certain contracts, which represent one-time charges of a non-recurring nature. The acceleration and settlement of certain consulting agreements were paid in shares of IFX common stock with an approximate value of $4.2 million at the time of issuance. Other Income/(Expense) During fiscal 2001, IFX recorded $8.3 million as other expense as compared to other expense of $11.9 million during fiscal 2000. Other expense in fiscal 2001 is primarily attributable to $3.2 million of the Company's share of the losses of its equity method investee. In addition, the Company incurred costs associated with interest expense of $1.9 million and realized a loss on investments of $2.5 million. As a result of the deconsolidation and treatment of Tutopia as an equity investment, the Company expensed approximately $11.8 million related to the results for Tutopia in fiscal 2000. In addition, interest expense increased to $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $0 for the year ended June 30, 1999. Beneficial Conversion Feature of Preferred Stock In May 2001, the Company issued approximately 4.4 million shares of convertible preferred stock for $15.5 million, of which each share is convertible into one share of the IFX common stock. In June and July 2000, the Company issued approximately 2 million shares of preferred stock for $25.0 million that were each convertible into one share of IFX common stock at a conversion price of $12.31 per share. As part of the May 2001 issuance of preferred stock, the conversion ratio of the 2 million shares of preferred stock was automatically adjusted to 3.52 shares of common stock for each preferred share. The change in the conversion ratio resulted in a $25.0 million non-cash beneficial conversion feature that was recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders in the 2001 statement of operations. 18 Income tax benefit For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million from its continuing operations compared to a benefit of $2.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2000. The fiscal 2001 benefit is due to utilization of net operating losses against income from discontinued operations. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 and 2000 was approximately 2% and 5%, respectively. Operating losses that could not be utilized to recover prior year tax liabilities have been fully reserved with a valuation allowance at June 30, 2001 and 2000. For the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $2.8 million from its continuing operations compared to a benefit of $0.8 million for the year ended June 30, 1999. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 and 1999 was 5% and 32%, respectively. The benefits consist of tax expense related to discontinued operations and amounts to be received from the utilization of net operating loss carry-backs to periods in which the Company incurred a tax liability. Operating losses that could not be utilized to recover prior year tax liabilities have been fully reserved with a valuation allowance at June 30, 2000 and 1999. Income from discontinued operations, net For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company had income from discontinued operations of approximately $2.8 million, net of taxes, as compared to $2.0 million earned for the year ended June 30, 2000. The increase results from the $2.4 million sale of a redeemable preference share during fiscal 2001, thereby reducing future earn-out payments. For the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company earned net of taxes approximately $2.0 million from its discontinued operations. That compares to $3.1 million earned for the year ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was related to lower profitability of the businesses sold and the lower earn-out percentage the Company receives. FINANCIAL CONDITION Liquidity and Capital Resources For the year ended June 30, 2001, cash used in operating activities was approximately $15.0 million compared to cash used of $15.8 million for fiscal 2000. The revenues from Internet operations and earn-out payments related to discontinued operations provided the majority of cash in fiscal 2001. The cash used in operations is mainly related to the connectivity expenses of the Company's network, operating leases, payroll and advertising. In addition, IFX invests cash not needed for operations at any of its subsidiaries in short-term investments such as U.S. Government obligations and overnight time deposits. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $7.6 million of unrestricted cash and equivalents. The Company's receivables and deferred revenues have increased as a result of increased sales, as have prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2001, cash used in investing activities was approximately $13.0 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $2.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2000. A majority of the cash used in investing activities relates to the acquisition of approximately $7.1 million in property and equipment, a $3.1 million investment in Tutopia and $0.7 million of payments on liabilities related to acquisitions. In addition, as a requirement of certain capital lease obligations which were entered into during fiscal 2001, the Company was obligated to maintain restricted cash of $2.1 million at June 30, 2001. For the year ended June 30, 2001, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $22.7 million compared to $27.0 million for fiscal 2000. IFX received a $25.6 million investment by UBS Capital and certain other shareholders during fiscal 2001 through the sale of approximately 5.2 million shares of preferred stock. Cash of approximately $2.9 million was used for payments of capital lease obligations. 19 In connection with certain of its capital lease agreements, the Company is required to maintain cash of $2.1 million in restricted interest-bearing accounts. In addition, one capital lease agreement contains covenants that require the Company to maintain certain operating ratios, limitations on debt and a minimum level of total revenues. As of June 30, 2001, IFX did not meet the minimum level of revenue covenant that required the Company to have $38 million in total revenues for fiscal 2001 versus the $32 million actually recognized. As a result, $1.6 million of long-term lease obligations have been reclassified as current liabilities. The Company is in negotiation to obtain a waiver of this requirement during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. At June 30, 2001, the Company had a working capital deficit of $11.6 million. The Company has also incurred significant operating losses and operating cash flow deficiencies during the past several fiscal years. As a result, the Company is dependent on funding from outside sources and existing shareholders to meet its ongoing commitments and obligations. On October 11, 2001, UBS Capital Americas agreed to invest an additional $7 million of cash and surrender 1.5 million shares of IFX common stock currently held by UBS Capital Americas in exchange for approximately 3.8 million shares of newly issued IFX Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into one share of IFX common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock carries a liquidation preference of $3.00 per share and will also participate with the IFX common stock after UBS Capital Americas receives its liquidation preference and accrued dividends, provided that the maximum amount which can be received with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock after taking into account the participation feature is limited to 3-1/2 times the sum of the Series C Preferred Stock liquidation preference and accrued dividends. The UBS Capital Americas investment in IFX is expected to close promptly following IFX's annual meeting (which is expected to occur on or before December 10, 2001) and the completion of other customary closing conditions. UBS Capital Americas and certain other shareholders of IFX (together constituting a majority of the outstanding shares) have entered into an agreement obligating them to vote in favor of this transaction. In addition, this transaction has already been approved by the Board of Directors of IFX. This investment will cause the conversion ratio of the approximately 2 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by UBS Capital Americas to be adjusted so that each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 4.1 shares of IFX common stock, rather than 3.52 share of IFX common stock as currently provided. This investment will also cause the conversion ratio of the approximately 4.4 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by UBS Capital Americas to be adjusted so that each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 1.167 shares of IFX common stock, rather than 1 share of IFX common stock as originally provided. The terms of both the Series A and B preferred shares will be amended to add the same limited participation feature as in the Series C Preferred Stock. As part of this transaction, IFX will also provide UBS Capital Americas with the ability to exchange its equity investment in Tutopia.com, Inc. (in which IFX holds a minority investment) for additional shares of IFX preferred stock within one year of closing. After the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock, UBS Capital will own approximately 57% percent of the shares of IFX (assuming conversion of all IFX convertible preferred stock into IFX common stock) and will be entitled to appoint a majority of the IFX Board of Directors. After the close of this UBS Capital Americas investment, IFX would have approximately 30 million shares of common stock outstanding if all of IFX's convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock. As a result of the transaction discussed above, the Company anticipates increasing the number of common shares authorized from 50 million to 60 million increasing the number of preferred shares from 10 million to 20 million. The Company has also received a commitment for a deferral of payment of approximately $4 million of principal on one of its capital lease commitments through approximately November 2002. In consideration for this deferral and extension, the Company will grant to the lessor 500,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at $1 per share. Such warrants are immediately exercisable and expire 10 years from date of grant. Management also expects to utilize existing cash and cash-equivalents together with operating cash flows, funds from future earn-out payments, and amounts to be paid by Tutopia to fund operations. In the past, the Company has raised funds through the issuance of debt and equity securities and, as discussed above, IFX has committed to sell additional shares of preferred stock to UBS through the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock. Management is not certain whether the Company will be able to continue raising funds through the issuance of securities or through other means on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company's inability to raise sufficient funds in the future could affect IFX's ability to meet its expansion plans, satisfy capital lease and other obligations and IFX would have to postpone most of the Company's expansion goals and capital expenditures until financing is obtained. Cash needs will also be affected by whether Tutopia is able to fulfill its obligations to make cash payments under its network agreement with IFX. The shares of the Company's common stock are currently listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. Due to the decline in the price of the common stock, the common stock could be suspended or delisted from the NASDAQ due to their minimum trading requirements, particularly if the Company's stock price is below $1.00 per share for a prolonged period or certain financial requirements imposed by NASDAQ are not met. However, NASDAQ has announced that it has suspended enforcement of these minimum trading requirements until January 2, 2002. If the shares of the Company's common stock were to be suspended or delisted from the NASDAQ system, it would be much more difficult to dispose of the common stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the securities. This in turn could make it more difficult for the Company to issue to make future debt or equity offerings in the future.

The Company wishes to caution you that these forward-looking statements addressing the timing, costs and scope of the Company's acquisition of, or investments in, existing or future ISP's, the revenue and profitability levels of the ISP's in which the Company invests, the anticipated reduction in operating costs resulting from the integration and optimization of those ISP's the liquidity accounts of the Company, and other matters contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are only predictions. The Company can give no assurance that the future results indicated, whether expressed or implied, will be achieved. These projections and other forward-looking statements are based upon a variety of assumptions relating to the Company's business, which, although the Company considers reasonable, may not be realized. Because of the number and uncertainties of the assumptions underlying the Company's projections and forward-looking statements, some of the assumptions may not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and the Company assumes no obligation to update this information. The inclusion of projections and other forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any person that these estimates and projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations," ("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets "("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet certain criteria to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead they will be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." At the July 2001 Emerging Issues Task Force meeting, the SEC staff announced that, among other things, preferred securities that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event outside the control of the issuer, such as the change in control, are required to be classified outside of equity (EITF D-98 Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this EITF, which may result in the Company reclassifying its preferred stock as mezzanine debt. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Exchange Rate and Inflation Risk The Company's continuing operations are focused primarily in Latin America, subjecting IFX to certain political, economic and commercial risks and uncertainty not typically found in the U.S. The Company's exposure to market risk is directly related to its role as a Latin American Internet services company. The Company's primary market risk exposure relates to foreign exchange rate risk. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will adversely impact the value of the Company's assets, liabilities and/or equity. When the Company operates in a foreign country, the value of the local currency will probably fluctuate. This fluctuation can cause the Company to gain or lose on the translation to U.S. dollars. Interest Rate Risk The Company's short-term investments are classified as cash and cash equivalents with original maturities of three months or less. Therefore, changes in the market's interest rates do not affect the value of the Company's investments. 20 ITEM 8.

See notes to consolidated financial statements 24 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IFX Corporation and Subsidiaries June 30, 2001 Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IFX Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as "IFX", "IFX Networks" or the "Company") for which it has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. As more fully discussed in Note 15, during September 2000, the Company's voting interest in its majority-owned subsidiary, Tutopia.com, Inc. ("Tutopia") was reduced from approximately 85% to approximately 48%. As a result of this reduction, the Company deconsolidated Tutopia and began accounting for Tutopia under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as if Tutopia had been accounted for under the equity method since its inception in January 2000. In addition, in April 2000, Tutopia issued common stock representing approximately a 15% interest in Tutopia to shareholders other than the Company, at a price per common share exceeding the Company's carrying value for the Company's investment in Tutopia's common stock. The restated financial statements reflect an increase in the Company's investment in Tutopia of approximately $4 million as of June 30, 2000 to record the amount in excess of the Company's carrying value as a capital transaction. Fiscal Year: The Company's fiscal year end is June 30. References herein to fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 refer to the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition: Revenue from customer contracts related to dial-up access, dedicated phone line and web hosting fees are recognized ratably over the term of the underlying contract, which is generally from one month to three years. Cash received in advance of revenues earned is recorded as deferred revenues. Incremental revenues derived from other services are recognized as earned. Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company's receivables potentially subject the Company to credit risk, as collateral is generally not required. The Company's risk of loss is limited to billings to customers for services. The use of pre-approved charges to customer credit cards and the ability of IFX to terminate Internet access on delinquent accounts, helps limit the risk of these losses. In addition, the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base helps mitigate the concentration of credit risk. Sources of Supplies: The Company relies on third-party networks, local telephone companies and other companies to provide data communications capacity. Although management feels alternative telecommunications facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers as cash equivalents all financial instruments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. Restricted Cash: During fiscal 2001, the Company entered into capital lease agreements relating to computer equipment for expansion of the Company's Network. As part of certain of these capital lease agreements, the Company is required to maintain a minimum amount of cash ($2.1 million at June 30, 2001) in restricted interest-bearing accounts. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. 25 Long-Lived Assets: In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset is compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down is required. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, commencing when assets are installed or placed in service. The estimated useful lives generally range between 3 and 10 years. Acquired Customer Base: Acquired customer base consists of the excess of the purchase price paid over the tangible net assets of acquired companies. The Company capitalizes specific costs incurred for the purchase of customer bases from other Internet Service Providers ("ISP's"). Acquired customer base, net of amortization, at June 30, 2001 was approximately $4.0 million. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over three years commencing when the customer base is acquired. Amortization expense was approximately $9.9 and $5.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2001, the Company estimated that the undiscounted cash flows associated with its acquired customer base may not be sufficient to recover the net book value of such assets. In accordance with SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" the Company has recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. This non-cash impairment charge was at estimated fair value. The estimated fair values, as required by SFAS 121, did not consider the value of such assets in a forced sale or liquidation and was based primarily on an analysis of the operations' net cash flows. Advertising and Marketing Expenses: The Company expenses all advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $3.5 million, $2.3 million, and $0.2 million during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Risks and Uncertainties: The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those associated with: a brief history operating in the Internet network business; losses from continuing operations; negative cash flow and fluctuations in operating results and in foreign currency exchange rates; funding expansion and acquisitions; political and economic risks associated with international operations; dependence on key personnel; dependence on suppliers for operation of the network; the need to implement additional management information systems; increasing competition from competitors with lower cost structures, greater recourses, or greater brand recognition; regulatory risks in the countries in which the Company operates; decreased growth in Internet usage; financing arrangement terms that may restrict operations; and pending litigation related to the discontinued operations. Reclassification: Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current method of presentation. Stock-Based Compensation: The Company grants stock options generally for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to or below the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and accordingly, recognizes compensation expense only if the market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant is above the exercise price of the options. Computation of Earnings or Loss per Common Share: The Company calculates earnings or loss per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Computation of Earnings Per Share". Accordingly, basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated based upon the sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the weighted average number of potentially dilutive securities consisting of stock options and common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share since their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Approximately 3.0 million such potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the fiscal 2001 earnings per share calculation. 26 New Pronouncements: In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet certain criteria to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead they will be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 141 immediately, and SFAS 142 effective July 1, 2001. Furthermore, any goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life that are acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for permanent impairment. The Company does not believe that either of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. At the July 2001 Emerging Issues Task Force meeting, the SEC staff announced that, among other things, preferred securities that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event outside the control of the issuer, such as a change in control, are required to be classified outside of equity (EIFT D-98 Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities). The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this EITF, which may result in the Company reclassifying its preferred stock as mezzanine debt. Cost of Computer Software: Effective July 1, 1999, the Company adopted SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," which requires that certain costs for the development of internal use software should be capitalized, including the costs of coding, software configuration, upgrades and enhancements. For the year ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company capitalized $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Investments: At June 30, 2000, the Company had investments for which it did not have the ability to exercise influence over the investees; therefore, the Company accounts for these investments under the cost method. Approximately $2.5 million of the Company's investments were written off during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 based on management's estimation that the value of such investments had been impaired. Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company's active subsidiaries is the local currency. Foreign currency transactions and financial statements (except for those relating to countries with highly inflationary economies) are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect on the date of the transaction or the date of the financial statements, except that revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during each reporting period. Resulting translation adjustments and transaction gains or losses attributable to certain Intercompany transactions that are of a long-term investment nature are excluded from results of operations and accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of consolidated stockholders' equity. Gains and losses attributable to other Intercompany transactions are included in results of operations. Liquidity Assessment: At June 30, 2001, the Company had a working capital deficit of $11.6 million. In addition, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and operating cash flow deficiencies during the past several fiscal years. As a result, the Company is dependent on funding from outside sources and existing shareholders to meet its ongoing commitments and obligations. On October 11, 2001, UBS Capital Americas agreed to invest an additional $7 million of cash and surrender 1.5 million shares of IFX common stock currently held by UBS Capital Americas in exchange for approximately 3.8 million shares of newly issued IFX Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into one share of IFX common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock carries a liquidation preference of $3.00 per share and will also participate with the IFX common stock after UBS Capital Americas receives its liquidation preference and accrued dividends, provided that the maximum amount which can be received with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock after taking into account the participation feature is limited to 3-1/2 times the sum of the Series C Preferred Stock liquidation preference and accrued dividends. The UBS Capital Americas investment in IFX is expected to close promptly following IFX's annual meeting (which is expected to occur on or before December 10, 2001) and the completion of other customary closing conditions. UBS Capital Americas and certain other shareholders of IFX (together constituting a majority of the outstanding shares) have entered into an agreement obligating them to vote in favor of this transaction. In addition, this transaction has already been approved by the Board of Directors of IFX. This investment will cause the conversion ratio of the approximately 2 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by UBS Capital Americas to be adjusted so that each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 4.1 shares of IFX common stock, rather than 3.52 share of IFX common stock as currently provided. This investment will also cause the conversion ratio of the approximately 4.4 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by UBS Capital Americas to be adjusted so that each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 1.167 shares of IFX common stock, rather than 1 share of IFX common stock as originally provided. The terms of both the Series A and B preferred shares will be amended to add the same limited participation feature as in the Series C Preferred Stock. As part of this transaction, IFX will also provide UBS Capital Americas with the ability to exchange its equity investment in Tutopia.com, Inc. (in which IFX holds a minority investment) for additional shares of IFX preferred stock within one year of closing. After the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock, UBS Capital will own approximately 57% percent of the shares of IFX (assuming conversion of all IFX convertible preferred stock into IFX common stock) and will be entitled to appoint a majority of the IFX Board of Directors. After the close of this UBS Capital Americas investment, IFX would have approximately 30 million shares of common stock outstanding if all of IFX's convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock. As a result of the transaction discussed above, the Company anticipates increasing the number of common shares authorized from 50 million to 60 million increasing the number of preferred shares from 10 million to 20 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the Company also received a commitment for a deferral of payment of approximately $4 million of principal on one of its capital lease commitments through approximately November 2002. In consideration for this waiver and extension, the Company will issue to the lessor 500,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for $1 per share. Such warrants are immediately exercisable and expire 10 years from date of grant. In addition, management expects to utilize existing cash and cash-equivalents together with operating cash flows, funds from earn-out payments, and amounts to be paid by Tutopia to fund the Company's operations. As a result of slower than anticipated reductions in general and administrative expenses and slower dedicated-line revenue growth than anticipated, IFX raised additional equity capital during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. In the past, the Company has raised funds through the issuance of debt and equity securities and IFX may be required to obtain additional capital during fiscal 2002. Management is not certain whether the Company in the future will be able to continue raising funds through the issuance of securities or through other means on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company's inability to raise sufficient funds in the future could materially adversely affect IFX's operating results and financial condition, as well as its ability to meet its expansion plans and to satisfy capital lease and other obligations. Cash needs will also be affected by whether Tutopia is able to fulfill its obligations to make cash payments under its network agreement with IFX. Note 2 Discontinued Operations In June 1999, IFX divested its 50.1% interest in IFX Ltd. in exchange for approximately $2.45 million and a redeemable preference share entitling IFX to quarterly payments equal to approximately 30% of the net profits, as specifically defined, of IFX Ltd. through June 30, 2002. Following the sale of its U.K. subsidiary, IFX decided not to invest the sales proceeds in the trading business and, instead, decided to continue to develop businesses in the Internet industry. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for this disposal, and the disposal of operations related to the same business segment made in prior years, as noted below, as discontinued operations. In September 2000, IFX sold its IFX Ltd. redeemable preference share to the other shareholders of IFX Ltd. for $2.4 million, thus terminating IFX's right to future earn-out payments from IFX Ltd. 27 The following table summarizes financial information related to the Company's discontinued operations:
Fiscal year ended June 30, ----------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------- Income from discontinued operations before income taxes $ 4,359,300 $ 3,026,100 $ 4,785,500 Income tax provision on discontinued operation (1,525,800) (1,059,100) (1,667,900) ----------------------------------------------- Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes $ 2,833,500 $ 1,967,000 $ 3,117,600 ===============================================
The information set forth in the remaining notes to consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations unless otherwise specified. Note 3 Acquisitions A majority of IFX's acquisitions have been structured such that the Company pays an agreed upon percentage of the purchase price at closing ("first payment") with the remainder of the purchase price paid 60 to 360 days after closing ("second payment"). The amounts owed by IFX to the Internet Service Providers ("ISP's") it has acquired are classified as liabilities related to acquisitions. During fiscal 2001, the Company settled such liabilities through the issuance of 733,666 shares of common stock with a fair market value of $4.3 million and cash of $0.7 million. The Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of the acquired entities have been included in the financial statements of the Company from the respective dates of acquisition. During fiscal 2000, the Company acquired 18 companies for a total purchase price of approximately $26.0 million, of which approximately $2.4 million was paid in cash, approximately $20.9 million was paid by issuing 835,598 shares of the Company's common stock, approximately $1.6 million was recorded as a liability related to acquisitions and the Company assumed approximately $0.7 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses. No material acquisitions were made during fiscal 2001. The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the acquisitions, which were made during fiscal 2000, had been completed on July 1, 1999, the beginning of fiscal 2000. The pro forma data gives effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and adjustments to goodwill amortization and income taxes. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisitions had occurred on July 1, 1999 or that may be obtained in the future. The pro forma data does not give effect to acquisitions completed subsequent to June 30, 2000 since such amounts are immaterial.

Note 6 Commitments Operating and Capital Leases The Company maintains facilities and offices at various locations throughout the United States and Latin America for general corporate purposes, including technology centers, customer call centers, office space and headquarters. The Company also leases office space in Chicago, Illinois, but subsequent to August 28, 1998, this space was subleased through the end of the lease term for an amount equal to the lease payments. In addition to office leases, the Company is entering into lease agreements for satellite bandwidth. Lease expense related to continuing operations amounted to $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.1 million in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Operating lease commitments at June 30, 2001 were approximately $3.5 million through the year 2006 of which $0.6 million is related to satellite bandwidth. At June 30, 2001, the Company had capital lease obligations of approximately $16.1 million. All the capital leases entered into by the Company were to finance equipment and software for the Company's network. Future minimum payments under capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms of one year or more consisted of the following at June 30, 2001:
Operating Net Operating Lease Sublease Lease Capital Lease Total Fiscal Year Obligations Rentals Obligations Obligations Obligations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 $ 2,209,000 $ (397,500) $ 1,811,500 $ 7,997,700 $ 9,809,200 2003 871,200 (66,600) 804,600 7,480,900 8,285,500 2004 354,900 - 354,900 3,165,600 3,520,500 2005 57,700 - 57,700 88,300 146,000 2006 44,800 - 44,800 - 44,800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total lease obligations $ 3,537,600 $ (464,100) $ 3,073,500 18,732,500 $ 21,806,000 =========== ========== =========== ============ Amount representing interest 2,664,400 -------------- Present value of net minimum lease payments $ 16,068,100 ==============
In connection with certain of its capital lease agreements, the Company is required to maintain cash of $2.1 million in restricted interest-bearing accounts. In addition, one capital lease agreement contains covenants that require the Company to maintain certain operating ratios, limitations on debt and a minimum level of total revenues. As of June 30, 2001, IFX did not meet a revenue covenant that required the Company to have $38 million in total revenues for fiscal 2001 versus the $32 million actually recognized. As a result, $1.6 million of long-term lease obligations have been reclassified to current liabilities. The Company is in negotiation to obtain a waiver of this requirement during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. 29 Other A limited indemnification agreement was issued to a buyer of the Company's brokerage assets. This agreement covers potential customer claims arising from activity prior to the sale. Employment agreements The Company has employment agreements with several of its officers. The agreements generally require continuation of salary and provide other benefits subsequent to termination or change of control in the Company. Note 7 Notes payable and other long-term liabilities In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company assumed notes payable aggregating to a principal amount of approximately $0.3 million as of June 30, 2001. Note 8 Litigation Contingencies The Company may be threatened with legal proceedings arising from its regular business activities. In addition, certain of the Company's discontinued operations are involved in litigation that may impact the Company in the event of an unfavorable outcome. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any pending action or proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Note 9 Stockholders' Equity Common Stock At June 30, 2001, there were 14,276,495 outstanding shares of common stock, approximately 4,631,790 shares of the Company's common stock reserved for stock options and warrants, and 210,000 warrants which were granted in fiscal 1999 and remain outstanding. During fiscal 2001, IFX issued 6,000, 733,666 and 241,646 shares of common stock for contract termination liabilities related to acquisitions and shares of stock granted to employees for compensation, respectively. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in series with such preferences and designations as the Company's Board of Directors may determine. The Board can, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation, and conversion rights. This could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may help IFX's management impede a takeover or attempted change in control. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has 6,449,131 preferred shares outstanding. As reported on the Company's Reports on Forms 8-K dated March 16, 2001 and May 10, 2001, the Company received approximately $15.5 million in funding from UBS Capital Americas to be used for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001, by and among the Company and UBS Capital Americas, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001, UBS Capital Americas purchased 3,994,127 shares of IFX's Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 424,135 shares of IFX's Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on May 7, 2001. All of the shares were purchased at $3.50 per share. The Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has full voting rights and each preferred share is convertible into one share of IFX's common stock. The Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the same rights as the Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock except that it may not vote for the Board of Directors. At the election of UBS Capital Americas, each share of the Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible after one year into one share of Class I Convertible Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock previously issued by IFX, this investment caused the conversion ratio of the approximately 2 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by UBS Capital Americas to be adjusted so that each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 3.52 shares of the Company's common stock, rather than one share of the Company's common stock as originally provided. The Series A conversion ratio adjustment resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $25 million. Such amount has been recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholder in May 2001. 30 In 2000, IFX has issued 2,030,869 shares of IFX Class I Series A Preferred Stock and IFX Class II Series A Preferred Stock to UBS Capital Americas III in exchange for $25 million, of which $14.9 million was received by the Company on June 16, 2000 and $10.1 million was received on July 17, 2000. Each share is exchangeable for 3.52 share of common stock, subject to adjustment if IFX issues shares of common stock (or certain common stock equivalents as discussed above) at less than $3.50 per share. Each share of preferred stock has a liquidation preference equal to the sum of: a) $12.31 per share and b) $1.231 for each year that the preferred share is outstanding. The liquidation preference is payable in the event of a liquidation of IFX as well as a merger, recapitalization, reorganization, sale of voting control to a single buyer or a group of related buyers in one or a series of related transactions, or other business combination transaction involving IFX in which the shareholders of IFX immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation or IFX (as applicable) immediately following the consummation of such transaction or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of IFX. Dividends accrue on the shares at the same rate that dividends accrue on shares of IFX common stock in and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. At June 30, 2001, the Company's Series A and Series B Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of approximately $44 million (10% per annum liquidation preference return). Investment in Tutopia. On the closing of the sale of the IFX Series B Preferred Stock to UBS Capital Americas, UBS Capital Americas and IFX invested approximately $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Tutopia. After the investment, the Company's voting interest in Tutopia remained less than 50%. On August 31, 2000, UBS Capital Americas and certain other shareholders of the Company invested a total of $20 million in Tutopia in exchange for Series A Preferred Stock of Tutopia. Following these investments, assuming the exchange of all of the Series A Preferred Stock for Tutopia common stock, IFX will indirectly own approximately 48% of the outstanding stock of Tutopia. Also, the majority of the owners of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock receive the right to appoint a majority of the directors of Tutopia. Note 10 Stock-Based Compensation Plans Directors Stock Option Plan During November 1999, the Company's shareholders approved the IFX Corporation Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"). In general, the Directors Plan provides that each non-employee eligible director automatically will receive an option to purchase (i) 450 shares of common stock upon such director's initial election to the Board of Directors of the Company, provided such director is elected after the effective date of the Directors Plan, and (ii) for each year thereafter and on the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, 450 shares of common stock for service as a director and 75 shares of common stock for each Committee of the Board of Directors upon which such director serves. Employee Stock Option Plan During November 1999, the Company approved an amendment to the IFX Corporation 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Option Plan") to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Option Plan from 900,000 to 1,800,000. In June 2000, the Company's shareholders voted to increase the size of the Option Plan by an additional 600,000 shares and an additional 600,000 shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan. In connection with the granting of stock options to employees in fiscal 2000, the Company recorded deferred compensation of approximately $17.2 million. Deferred compensation is being amortized for financial reporting purposes over the vesting period of the options. The amount recognized as expense during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 amounted to approximately $4.9 million, $5.2 million and $39,000, respectively. No options were granted during fiscal 2001 for which compensation expense was recorded. In connection with the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock in May 2001, the Company has agreed to (i) amended the Option Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Option Plan to 4,631,790 shares of common stock and (ii) adopted the IFX Corporation 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"). Options under the 2001 Plan will vest thirty four percent (34%) one year after the date granted, and eight and one quarter percent (8.25%) on the last day of each of the following quarters. 31 The following table summarizes the Company's stock option activity:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans under APB No. 25, however, the Company has computed for pro forma disclosure purposes the fair value of all options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 using the following weighted-average assumptions.
Year Ended June 30, --------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------- Risk-Free Interest Rate 5.65% 6.00% 5.50% Expected Dividend Yield 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Expected Lives 5.0 years 5.0 years 5.0 years Expected Volatility 1.01 0.96 1.25
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The per share weighted average fair value of options granted during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $9.28, $10.05 and $5.97, respectively. 32 The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

Included in the above table are sales to Tutopia of approximately $13.8 million and $0 for fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. Sales to Tutopia represented approximately 43.1% of IFX's total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. Note 12 Foreign Taxes Recoverable In general, IFX's foreign subsidiaries pay a Foreign Value Added Tax ("VAT") on their purchases. The foreign taxes recoverable is the difference between what IFX has paid in VAT Taxes and what it has collected in VAT from the Company's customers. At June 30, 2001, IFX had a net difference of approximately $2.0 million that is classified as Foreign Taxes Recoverable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 33 Note 13 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FASB 109). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The benefit relating to income taxes for each of the years ended June 30, is as follows: Year ended June 30, ----------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------- Current $ 1,525,800 $ 2,771,400 $ 811,000 Deferred - - - ----------------------------------------------- Total Benefit $ 1,525,800 $ 2,771,400 $ 811,000 =============================================== The benefit reflected is due primarily to the utilization of net operating losses against income from discontinued operations. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's net deferred income taxes are as follows: Fiscal Year End ---------------------------------- 2001 2000 ---------------------------------- DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: Bad debt reserve $ 684,600 $ 347,100 Depreciation 73,700 59,600 Other accruals 98,400 56,100 Amortization 4,357,300 1,390,500 Deferred gain on investment 1,674,500 1,674,500 Writeoff of investments 965,400 -- Impairment of customer base 3,614,400 -- Tax credits 761,400 761,400 NOL carry-forward 19,298,200 9,639,100 --------------------------------- Deferred tax assets 31,527,900 13,928,300 Less valuation allowance (31,325,900) (13,702,900) --------------------------------- Total deferred tax assets 202,000 225,400 Deferred tax liabilities: Other liabilities (202,000) (225,400) --------------------------------- Total deferred tax liabilities (202,000) (225,400) --------------------------------- Total net deferred taxes $ -- $ -- ================================= 34 SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a $31.3 million valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the current year is $17.6 million. At June 30, 2001, the Company has available net operating loss carry forwards as follows: Losses expiring in fiscal 2002-2003 ----------------------------------- El Salvador $ (719,300) Guatemala (678,700) Costa Rica (480,200) Honduras (701,000) Uruguay (263,800) Venezuela (1,885,600) Losses expiring in fiscal 2004-2005 ----------------------------------- Nicaragua $ (286,500) Argentina (5,136,400) Colombia (2,260,900) Panama (765,100) Losses expiring after 2010 -------------------------- Mexico (4,826,800) United States (51,284,100) Losses with indefinite life: --------------------------- Bolivia (1,469,400) Brazil (12,534,100) Chile (2,318,500) The United States and foreign components of loss from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows: For the Year Ending June 30, ------------------------------------------------ 2001 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------ United States $(43,970,000) $(24,775,900) $ (1,458,500) Foreign (18,744,500) (25,839,500) (1,067,900) ------------------------------------------------ Total $(62,714,500) $(50,615,400) $ (2,526,400) ================================================ 35 Reconciliation of the total provision for income taxes to the Federal statutory rate for the years ended June 30, is as follows: Years ended June 30, --------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------- Tax at U.S. statutory rate (34)% (34)% (34)% State taxes, net of federal benefit (3) (2) -- Stock option expense 3 3 -- Warrant expense -- 1 -- Other 1 -- 2 Change in valuation allowance 30 27 -- --------------------------------------- (3)% (5)% (32)% ======================================= During fiscal year 2001, IFX received a refund of approximately $1.6 million related to the carry back of net operating losses to fiscal 1999 and 2000. Note 14 Related Party Transactions The Company believes that all transactions disclosed below and in Note 15 have been, and the Company's Board of Directors intends that any future transactions with its officers, directors, affiliates or principal stockholders will be, on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that are obtainable in arm's length transactions with unaffiliated third parties. UBS Capital Americas: On an as converted basis, UBS Capital owns approximately 50% of the Company and approximately 34% of the Company's investee, Tutopia. During fiscal 2001 and 2000, UBS Capital made significant investments in both the Company and Tutopia as more fully discussed in Note 9. Sales to Tutopia accounted for approximately 43.1% of the Company's total sales for fiscal 2001. Tutopia was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company during fiscal 2000 as more fully discussed in Note 1, and was deconsolidated from the operations of the Company in September 2000. Tutopia had only nominal revenues in fiscal 2000 and revenues of approximately $2.1 million in fiscal 2001. To date, Tutopia has been dependent upon funding from UBS and the Company to pay for the services provided by IFX. Should UBS or the Company be unwilling or unable to make additional investments, or should Tutopia be unable to pay the Company through its operations, the financial condition and operating results of the Company may be seriously impacted. Mr. Moore is a director and Mr. Lama a principal of UBS Capital Americas, LLC, an affiliate of UBS Capital Americas, which purchased $25 million of IFX Preferred Stock in June and July 2000 and $15 million of preferred stock in Tutopia, a former subsidiary of IFX, in August 2000. Mr. Moore and Mr. Lama have an investment interest in UBS and thus may benefit from transactions between UBS on the one hand and IFX and its subsidiaries on the other. 36 UBS Capital Investment In IFX: As reported on the Company's Reports on Forms 8-K dated March 16, 2001 and May 10, 2001, the Company received approximately $15.5 million in funding from UBS Capital Americas to be used for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001, by and among the Company and UBS Capital Americas, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 7, 2001, UBS Capital Americas purchased 3,994,127 shares of IFX's Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 424,135 shares of IFX's Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. All of the shares were purchased at $3.50 per share. The Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has full voting rights and each preferred share is convertible into one share of the IFX's common stock. The Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the same rights as the Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock except that it may not vote for the Board of Directors. At the election of UBS Capital Americas, each share of the Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible after one year into one share of Class I Convertible Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock previously issued by IFX, this investment caused the conversion ratio of the approximately 2 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Purchasers to be adjusted so that each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 3.52 shares of the Company's common stock, rather than one share of the Company's common stock as originally provided. The Series B conversion ratio adjustment results in a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $25 million. Such amount was recognized as a dividend to preferred shareholder in May 2001. Yupi Shares: Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2000 between IFX Online, a subsidiary of the Company, and Lee Casty, a significant stockholder of IFX, IFX Online sold a part of its shares of Yupi Preferred Stock to Mr. Casty for a total purchase price of approximately $5.0 million. The proceeds were used for the Company's working capital. As a result of Yupi abandoning its IPO plans the Agreement noted above was amended to provide Casty with a minimum return on his investment in the event IFX entered into an agreement to sell its investment in Yupi. This contingency kept IFX from recognizing a gain on the sale until any potential payments to Casty were resolved or otherwise settled. Accordingly, the $1.9 million gain previously recognized was reversed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. In August 2001 Yupi entered into a merger agreement with T1MSN Corp. The Company received proceeds of approximately $46,000 with respect to such merger, of which approximately $16,000 is payable to Casty. Note 15 Tutopia.com, Inc. During September 2000, the Company's voting interest in its majority-owned subsidiary, Tutopia was reduced from approximately 85% to approximately 48%. As a result of this reduction, the Company deconsolidated Tutopia and began accounting for Tutopia under the equity method. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, IFX derived approximately 43.1% of its total revenues from Tutopia. At June 30, 2001, IFX has accounts receivable from Tutopia in the amount of approximately $0.9 million, of which approximately $0.6 million is related to services provided to Tutopia's Brazilian operations. Tutopia ceased Brazilian operations during fiscal 2001. IFX and Tutopia entered into an agreement whereby Tutopia will pay the portion related to Tutopia's Brazilian operations by June 2002, consequently, IFX has elected to defer recognition of revenue on the $0.6 million until payment has been received from Tutopia. 37 The unaudited operating results of Tutopia are as follows: Fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 2000 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) ---------------- ----------------- Revenues $ 2,113,100 $ 58,300 Operating expenses 25,328,700 13,937,600 ---------------- ----------------- Operating loss (23,215,600) (13,879,300) Net loss $ (22,918,800) $ (13,457,300) ================ ================= During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company's investment in Tutopia was reduced to $0 under the equity method of accounting. In May 2001, IFX invested an additional $3.1 million in Tutopia as a result of the UBS investment in IFX. As a result of this investment, the Company expensed 0.2 million of losses related to its proportionate share of Tutopia's losses.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows associated with acquired customer base would not be sufficient to recover the net book value of such assets resulting in the Company recording an impairment charge of approximately $10.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. In May 2001, the Company completed the issuance of approximately 4.4 million shares of convertible preferred stock for $15.5 million, of which each share is convertible into one share of the IFX common stock. Prior to May 2001, the Company had issued approximately 2 million shares of preferred stock for $25.0 million in June and July 2000 that were each convertible into one share of IFX common stock at a conversion price of $12.31 per share. As part of the May 2001 sale of preferred stock, the conversion ratio of the 2 million shares of preferred stock was automatically adjusted to 3.52 shares of common stock for each preferred share. The change in the conversion ratio resulted in a $25.0 million non-cash beneficial conversion feature that was recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders in the 2001 statement of operations. In June 2001, IFX recognized a loss on its Yupi investment in the amount of approximately $2.5 million based on management's determination that the value of such investment had been impaired. In addition, during September 2000, the Company's voting interest in its majority-owned subsidiary Tutopia fell below 50%. As a result, the Company deconsolidated Tutopia and began accounting for its investment under the equity method. Accordingly, the Company restated its fiscal 2000 consolidated financial statements as if Tutopia had been accounted for under the equity method since its inception in January 2000. 39 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders of IFX Corporation and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IFX Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IFX Corporation and subsidiaries at June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. As discussed in Note 1, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2000 have been restated. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Miami, Florida, September 10, 2001, except for the 29th through 33rd paragraphs of Note 1, as to which the date is October 11, 2001 40 ITEM 9.
