NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation These condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 and the related footnote information are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. (“VIA” or “the Company”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in VIA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“2004 Annual Report”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements included in the 2004 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of VIA at March 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2005. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or for the year ending December 31, 2005. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to account for discontinued operations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires VIA to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from the recorded estimates. Going concern: For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company had net losses from continuing operations of $14.6 million and net decrease of cash and cash equivalents for the period of $7.7 million. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $7.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.1 million in restricted cash. On March 17, 2005, the Company announced that a combination of factors including unanticipated revenue shortfalls in certain of its legacy VIA companies and its new VIA Express business would leave the Company with insufficient cash reserves to continue the operations of the group parent, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc., in early April 2005, and that it was working with its professional advisors to obtain new financing to address the issue. With the support of its advisors, the Company pursued two parallel processes to maximize its strategic alternatives and optimize the value that is inherent in the VIA businesses. In the first of the processes, the Company engaged in discussions with a number of parties with a view to selling all or parts of its businesses. In the second of the two processes, the Company sought potential investors to provide funds sufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. On April 1, 2005, the Company announced the sale of two of its Swiss companies — VIA NET.WORKS (Schweiz) AG and VIA NET.WORKS Services AG — to former managers and owners of the business, for a purchase price of CHF 3.5 million ($3.1 million). The net proceeds of the sale provided VIA with additional liquidity to continue its discussions for refinancing and sale transactions. On April 30, 2005, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. entered into a sale and purchase agreement, or Sale Agreement, with Claranet Group Limited (Claranet), a privately-held European Internet services provider based in the United Kingdom, to sell all of the Company’s remaining business operations in Europe and the United States (the Asset Sale). The agreement followed on the letter of intent entered into between Claranet and VIA on April 10, 2005. The following discussion is a summary of the material provisions of the Sale Agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by VIA on May 3, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the execution of the sale and purchase agreement. The material provisions of the Sale Agreement are as follows: Assets to be Sold Pursuant to the Sale Agreement • VIA would sell to Claranet all of its business operations in Europe and the U.S, which includes all of our subsidiary companies other than VIA NET.WORKS NY Corp, VIA NET.WORKS Holdco, Inc., Surftrade U.S.A. Inc. and our parent company, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. The assets to be sold to Claranet consist of substantially all of the Company’s assets, properties and rights. Claranet would acquire certain assets and liabilities pertaining to the Company’s centralized back office 6 financial and technical support systems that are owned by the Company’s group parent company, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc. The Company would transfer employment contracts of certain headquarters personnel who are responsible for supporting the back office and technical support systems to appropriate VIA operating companies or Claranet will offer employment to such persons. Treatment of Liabilities • Claranet would assume certain liabilities of our parent company, VIA NET.WORKS, Inc., including liabilities and obligations relating to the business operations being sold and employee contracts of certain headquarters personnel. Claranet would not assume other liabilities, such as severance costs for other employees at the corporate headquarters, lease payments, outstanding liabilities from previous acquisitions, vendor bills relating to costs of being a public company and ongoing operating costs associated with winding down the corporate headquarters. • VIA would retain all other debts and liabilities of VIA’s parent company, including but not limited to expenses relating to the headquarters office lease in Schiphol-Oost, VIA senior executives and all othe
