NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2001
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
position and results of operations for the interim periods. The condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 as presented in the Company's Form 10-K,
as amended on April 30, 2001. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - 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 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.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and unrealized gains and losses on a
short-term investment classified as available for sale. Comprehensive loss was
$3.0 and $5.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

NOTE 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

SureTalk.com, Inc.
- -------------------

On January 26, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
SureTalk.com, Inc. for $12 million in common stock, valued at the average
closing price at the acquisition date. SureTalk.com, Inc. was a closely held
Internet-based faxing, messaging and communications company based in Carlsbad,
California. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction with
substantially all of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other
purchased intangibles which are being amortized over 2 to 3 years.

TimeShift, Inc.
- ----------------

On March 6, 2000 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
TimeShift, Inc. for $1.1 million in common stock, valued at the average closing
price at the acquisition date. TimeShift was a closely held Internet technology
company based in San Francisco, California.

6
eFax.com
- ---------

On November 29, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
eFax.com, Inc. for $8.2 million, including $5.8 million in common stock, valued
at the average closing price at the acquisition date, $0.8 million in
acquisition costs, and $1.6 million in common stock warrants, valued at their
fair value at the acquisition date. eFax.com was a leading provider of unified
messaging and communications services. The acquisition was accounted under the
purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the assets and liabilities were
recorded based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition. In connection
with this acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $16.1 million in
goodwill and other intangible assets that are being amortized on a straight line
basis over seven years.

The pro forma consolidated financial information for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 determined as if the above acquisitions had occurred on January
1, 2000 would have resulted in net sales of $5.1 million, net loss of $5.5
million, loss from operations of $6.3 million, and basic and diluted loss per
share of $0.50. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the combined results that would have occurred had the acquisitions
taken place at the beginning of the period, nor is it necessarily indicative of
results that may occur in the future. The pro forma effect of the TimeShift
transaction is immaterial for all periods presented and therefore is not
included in the pro forma information.

NOTE 5 - INTEGRATION COSTS

In connection with the acquisition of eFax.com, the Company incurred acquisition
integration expenses for the incremental cost to exit and consolidate activities
at eFax locations, to involuntary terminate eFax employees, and
combine/integrate other activities of eFax with j2 Global. Generally accepted
accounting principles require that these integration expenses, which are not
associated with the generation of future revenues and have no future economic
benefit, be reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase
price to the net assets acquired. The components of the acquisition integration
liabilities included in the purchase price allocation are as follows:

7
Certain aspects of the integration plan will be refined as actual costs are
incurred. Adjustments to the estimated acquisition integration liabilities based
on these refinements will be included in the allocation of the purchase price of
eFax.com if the adjustment is determined within the purchase price allocation
period. Adjustments that are determined after the end of the purchase price
allocation period will be (1) incurred as a reduction of net income if the
ultimate amount of the liability exceeds the estimate or (2) recorded as a
reduction of goodwill if the ultimate amount of the liability is below the
estimate.

NOTE 6 - LOSS PER SHARE

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net loss per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes the effect of common
stock equivalents, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. [font change

NOTE 7 - LITIGATION

On October 28, 1999, AudioFAX IP LLC filed a lawsuit against us in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting the
ownership of certain United States and Canadian patents and claiming that we are
infringing these patents as a result of our sale of enhanced facsimile services.
The suit requests unspecified damages, treble damages due to willful
infringement, and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. We filed an
answer to the complaint on December 2, 1999. We have reviewed the AudioFAX
patents with our business and technical personnel and outside patent counsel and
have concluded that we do not infringe these patents. As a result, we are
confident of our position in this matter and are vigorously defending the suit.
However, the outcome of complex litigation is uncertain and cannot be predicted
with certainty at this time. Any unanticipated adverse result could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 8 - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On February 8, 2001 we carried out a 1 for 4 reverse stock split. Except as
otherwise indicated, all share and per data are presented on a post split basis.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and March 31,
2000

Revenue. Subscriber revenue was $6.2 million and $2.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in
revenue was primarily due to an increased number of subscriptions principally
through our acquisition of eFax.com in November 2000 and a price increase to
eFax subscribers effective February 2001. Total subscribers at March 31, 2001
were 4.5 million. This compares to pro forma total subscribers, inclusive of
eFax.com, of 2.9 million at March 31, 2000.

Hardware and other revenues aggregated $742,000 and $301,000 respectively
for the three months ended March 31, 2001. We had no comparable revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. Hardware revenues result from sales of
consumable products to users of existing eFax.com licensed fax machines. On
February 15, 2001 we sold, at book value, our remaining consumables inventory to
a third party and simultaneously entered into a royalty based agreement with
such party for future consumable sales. As a result, hardware sales and cost of
sales are not expected to recur in future periods. Instead, we will receive
royalty payments which are expected to result in immaterial revenues in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 and thereafter.

Other revenues consist primarily of royalties from certain licensing
arrangements related to eFax hardware products.

Cost of Revenue. Subscriber cost of revenue is comprised primarily of data
and voice network costs, customer service expenses, equipment depreciation, and
online processing fees. Subscriber cost of revenue was $ 3.1 million, or 50% of
revenue, and $1.4 million, or 48% of revenue, for the three months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in cost of revenue reflects the
cost of building and expanding our server and networking infrastructure and
customer service capabilities to accommodate growth of our subscriber base.

Cost of revenue from hardware sales, which, as discussed in the "Revenue"
section of MD&A above, are not expected in future periods, were $450,000 or 61%
of hardware sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001. There were no
comparable sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

Operating Expenses

Sales and Marketing. Our sales and marketing costs for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 consisted primarily of personnel related expenses,
advertising costs, consulting fees, public relations expenses, and costs for
promotions. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 our sales and marketing
costs consisted primarily of payments with respect to strategic alliances,
personnel related expenses, advertising costs, consulting fees, public relations
expenses, and costs for promotions. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.2
million, or 19% of subscriber revenue, and $2.2 million, or 76% of subscriber
revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Sales
and marketing costs decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000 primarily due to the reduction of fixed
payments for advertising in favor of transactions requiring payment only upon
acquisition of paid subscribers.

9
Prior to mid fiscal year 2000, we allocated limited resources to marketing
our services, relying on our web sites to generate subscriptions and strategic
alliances to market and sell our services to their customer bases. For the
second half of fiscal 2000, and on a go forward basis, we expect our sales and
marketing customer acquisition expenses to occur only after the acquisition of a
paid subscriber. As a result of this, our marketing relationships with third
parties will primarily consist of revenue share arrangements.

Research and Development. Research and development costs were $534,000, or
7% of revenue, and $789,000, or 28% of revenue, for the three months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Research and development costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 primarily consisted of personnel related
expenses. Expenses for fiscal 2000 were higher than 2001 primarily due to
additional consulting expenses. The percentage of revenue decline from fiscal
2000 to 2001 was primarily due to increases in revenues over these comparable
periods.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative costs consist
primarily of personnel related expenses, professional fees, and occupancy costs.
General and administrative costs were $3.7 million, or 52% of revenue, and $4.0
million, or 138% or revenue, for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The percentage of revenue decline in the first quarter of 2001
versus 2000 was principally due to increases in revenues over these comparable
periods.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. For the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000, amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
aggregated $1.7 million and $661,000, respectively. The increase was primarily
due to the acquisition of eFax.com in November 2000.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net, was $423,000 and $798,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Other income, net,
primarily resulted from interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents
and short and long-term investments offset by interest expense on capital lease
obligations and long-term debt. Amounts for the first quarter of 2000 were
higher than 2001 primarily due to the carrying of higher cash and investment
balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2001, we had $24.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$455,000 and $1.0 million in short-term and long-term investments, respectively.
Short and long-term investments consisted of government and corporate debt
securities. Short-term maturities range from three months to one year and long-
term maturities range from beyond one year up to 18 months.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $1.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 from $3.3 million for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was due primarily to a
decrease in net loss and an increase in depreciation and amortization offset by
a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.2 million and 12.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease
in net cash provided by investing activities from fiscal 2000 to 2001 was
primarily due to decreases in the redemption of short and long-term investments
and purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities of $406,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 consisted of repayments of long-term debt and capital lease
obligations. Net cash provided by

10
financing activities of $41,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
consisted of repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations offset
by the exercise of employee stock options.

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including market
acceptance of our services, the amount of resources we devote to investments in
our network and services development, the resources we devote to the sales and
marketing of our services and our brand promotions, and other factors. We have
experienced increases in our capital expenditures and operating lease
arrangements since our inception consistent with the growth in our operations
and staffing, and anticipate that this will continue for the foreseeable future.
Additionally, we expect to make additional investments in technologies and our
network.

We currently anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents and short and
long-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
Although operating activities may provide cash in certain periods, to the extent
we experience growth in the future we anticipate that our operating and
investing activities may use cash. Consequently, any such future growth may
require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be
available on attractive terms, or at all, or may be dilutive.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At March 31, 2001, short and long-term investments consisted primarily of
government and corporate debt securities. Short-term maturities range from three
months to one year and long-term maturities range from beyond one year up to 18
months. Such securities bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.9% to 6.9%
per annum and are classified as held to maturity because the Company has the
ability and intent to do so. At March 31, 2001, cost approximates fair market
value and the Company believes it has immaterial market rate risk.

We believe that our exposure to currency exchange fluctuation risk is
insignificant because our transactions with international vendors and customers
are generally denominated in US dollars.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

On October 28, 1999, AudioFAX IP LLC filed a lawsuit against us in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting the
ownership of certain United States and Canadian patents and claiming that we are
infringing these patents as a result of our sale of enhanced facsimile services.
The suit requests unspecified damages, treble damages due to willful
infringement, and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. We filed an
answer to the complaint on December 2, 1999. We have reviewed the AudioFAX
patents with our business and technical personnel and outside patent counsel and
have concluded that we do not infringe these patents. As a result, we are
confident of our position in this matter and are vigorously defending the suit.
However, the outcome of complex litigation is uncertain and cannot be predicted
with certainty at this time. Any unanticipated adverse result could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

A. Material Modifications to Constituent Instruments Defining Shareholder
Rights

On February 8, 2001, we amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to implemented a 4 for 1 reverse stock split. Pursuant to this
Amendment, each issued and outstanding share of our Common Stock was
automatically converted into 0.25 shares of our Common Stock, with resulting
fractional shares being exchanged for a cash amount based on the average of the
closing bid and closing ask prices of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq National
Market immediately prior to the reverse split.

B. Not applicable

C. Not applicable

D. Sales of Registered Securities and Use of Proceeds

During July 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 8,500,000 shares of its common stock. The offering date was July
23, 1999. The Company'scommon stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ National
Market under the symbol "JCOM."

The lead underwriters in the offering were Donaldson, Lukfin & Jenrette;
BancBoston Robertson Stephens; CIBC World Markets; and DLJdirect Inc. The
shares of common stock sold in the Offering were registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the
"Registration Statement") (File No. 333-76477), which the Securities and
Exchange Commission declared effective on July 22, 1999.

The Company registered a total of 8,500,000 shares of common stock for sale
under the Registration Statement for an aggregate amount of $80,750,000 (based
upon the offering price of $9.50 per share). The Company sold all 8,500,000
shares for an aggregate amount of $80,750,000 (before deduction of underwriting
discounts, commissions and other expenses).

12
Additionally, the underwriters had an option to purchase an additional 473,000
shares from the Company and 802,000 shares from certain selling stockholders to
cover overallotments. None of those shares were sold in the Offering. If they
had been sold, the aggregate amount received for the optional shares on the same
basis as above would have been $4.5 million for the Company and $7.6 million for
the selling stockholders.

After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $5,652,500 and
expenses of $1,274,000 in connection with the Offering, the Company received net
proceeds from the Offering of $73.8 million.

Through March 31, 2001, we have used $51.7 million of proceeds from the
Offering for the following purposes: (i) $17.4 million for repayment of long-
term debt in the amount of $10.6 million and redemption of preferred stock in
the amount of $6.8 million, (ii) $7.2 million for expansion of our worldwide
network, (iii) $13.5 million for funding advertising and marketing activities,
(iv) $8.7 million for funding general corporate expenses, and (v) $4.9 million
for note receivable advances to eFax.com.

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable

ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On February 8, 2001 we implemented a 1 for 4 reverse stock split. All
share data presented in this Item 4 are presented on a pre-split basis.

On February 6, 2001 we held a Special Meeting of Shareholders. There were
46,071,438 shares of our common stock entitled to be voted on January 16, 2001,
the record date for the meeting. The only matter submitted to our shareholders
for a vote at the Special Meeting was a proposal to amend our Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-four reverse stock
split. The results of the election were as follows:

For Against Withheld
35,469,616 (77.0%) 44,435 (0.09%) 1,183 (0%)

Based on these voting results, the matter was approved and, as stated above, the
reverse stock split was implemented on February 8, 2001.
