Supplemental disclosure of non-cash, investing and financing activities:

In connection with the acquisition of HAHT Commerce, GXS Holdings issued common and preferred stock with an estimated fair value of $15,000. Such amount has been reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital and goodwill. A cash deposit of $750 towards the purchase price was paid in cash in 2003 and recorded to other non-current assets. During 2004 this amount was reclassified to goodwill.

In connection with the acquisition of Celarix in 2003, the estimated value of the common stock and preferred stock issued of $600 has been allocated to the fair value of the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital.

GXS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIAIRIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004
(Unaudited)
(In thousands of dollars)

(1) Business and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations.

Interim results for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, not included herein.

GXS Holdings, Inc. (GXS Holdings) (formerly RMS Electronic Commerce Systems, Inc.) and GE Information Services, Inc. (GEIS), prior to September 27, 2002, were wholly owned subsidiaries of GE Investments, Inc. (GE Investments), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Company (GE). On September 9, 2002, GXS Holdings formed GXS Corporation (GXS) and GXS Holdings contributed all of its assets to GXS in exchange for all of the common stock of GXS. In addition, GE Investments transferred 100% of the common stock that it held in GEIS to GXS and GEIS became a wholly owned subsidiary of GXS. For financial reporting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as a combination of companies under common control. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the assets, liabilities and results of operations of GXS Holdings were consolidated with those of GEIS, (now called Global eXchange Services, Inc.) for all periods presented. GXS and subsidiaries (the Company) are primarily engaged in the business of providing transaction management infrastructure products and services that enable companies to electronically exchange essential business documents.

On June 21, 2002, GE, GE Investments and Global Acquisition Company, a subsidiary of Francisco Partners, L.P. (Francisco Partners), signed a definitive agreement to effect a recapitalization (the Recapitalization Agreement) of the Company. The recapitalization was consummated on September 27, 2002 (the Recapitalization) and resulted in the Company issuing $175,000 of debt under a senior term loan agreement and $235,000 of debt under a senior subordinated reset note agreement (see note 5). Proceeds, in the amount of $350,000, were distributed by the Company to GE pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization Agreement. In addition, Francisco Partners and its co-investors, through a direct or indirect subsidiary, acquired 90% of the outstanding common stock and preferred stock of GXS Holdings for $407,773. The Company incurred $30,085 of fees to consummate the Recapitalization including $20,000 for services rendered by Francisco Partners.

The Recapitalization was accounted for as a leveraged recapitalization since greater than 5% of the voting common stock of GXS Holdings was retained by GE. Under leveraged recapitalization accounting, the transfer of a controlling interest in GXS Holdings to Francisco Partners does not result in a change in the accounting basis in the assets and liabilities of GXS Holdings or its subsidiaries including GXS. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of GXS have been recorded at their historical cost basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the costs incurred to effect the Recapitalization were expensed as incurred.

GE agreed to reimburse the Company for certain defined operating and restructuring costs following the Recapitalization. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, GE reimbursed the Company approximately $8,700 and $5,700 of these costs, respectively. These costs include approximately $800 of costs and expenses incurred with closing a data center in Rockville, Maryland, $5,700 of costs incurred in connection with a services agreement with MCI (formerly called WorldCom), $2,100 for notice pay and severance in connection with a reduction in force and facility exit costs, $1,500 for costs and expenses incurred for rebranding products and implementing an internal systems infrastructure, $1,600 representing certain employee bonus payments made following the closing of the Recapitalization, $1,400 representing payments made on behalf of certain employees in

the Netherlands covered under the GE pension plan, and approximately $1,300 for certain taxes. These reimbursements have been recorded as contributions to additional paid-in capital.

Additionally, in connection with the Recapitalization, GE agreed to reimburse the Company for the managed network fee related to the portion of the network being used by them following the Recapitalization. A reimbursement during the six months ended June 30, 2003 of approximately $1,750 was credited to cost of revenues.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company’s acquiror and the acquiror’s common parent made an election under US Income Tax Regulations that allowed the Company to revalue its assets and liabilities for income tax purposes. The tax benefit of the revaluation was approximately $242,000. Such benefit was reflected as a contribution to additional paid-in capital at the date of the Recapitalization. Management believes the Company will achieve profitable operations in future years that will enable the Company to recover the benefit of this deferred tax asset. However, the Company presently does not have sufficient objective evidence to support management’s belief and, accordingly, established a full valuation allowance for this asset in the fourth quarter of 2003 as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Recording this valuation allowance does not impact the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of this asset.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of all companies in which the Company directly or indirectly has a majority ownership and controls the operations. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Investments in companies in which the Company has a 50% or less ownership interest but can exercise significant influence over the investee’s operations and policies are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company uses the cost method to account for investments where it holds less than a 20% ownership interest and where it cannot exercise significant influence over the investee’s operations and policies. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the fair value of its investments to determine if any impairment has occurred. To the extent the Company’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value and such loss is considered to be an other than temporary decline, the Company records an impairment charge.

(b) Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from three principal sources:

    Transaction Processing — The Company earns recurring transaction processing fees from facilitating the exchange of business documents among its customers’ computer systems and those of their trading partners. Such revenues are based on a per transaction fee and are recognized in the period in which the related transactions are processed. Revenue on contracts with monthly or quarterly minimum transaction levels is recognized based on the greater of actual transactions or the specified contract minimum amounts.
 
    Software Licensing — The Company earns revenue from the licensing of software applications that facilitate and automate the exchange of information among disparate business systems and applications. Such revenues are recognized when the license agreement is signed, the license fee is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred, and collection is considered probable. Revenue from licensing software that requires significant customization and modification or where services are otherwise considered essential to the functionality of the software are recognized using the percentage of completion method, based on the costs incurred in relation to the total estimated costs of the contract. Revenue from hosted software applications are recognized ratably over the hosting period unless the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software without significant penalty and it is feasible for the customer to use the software with its own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the Company to host the software.

(Unaudited)
(In thousands of dollars)

    Professional Services and Software Maintenance — Professional services are generally conducted under time and material contracts and revenue is recognized as the related services are provided. Software maintenance revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related contract, which is typically one year.

For arrangements with more than one element of revenue, the Company allocates revenue to each component based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), in accordance with the criteria established in AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended, or fair value in accordance with the criteria established in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, as appropriate. VSOE for software maintenance is based on contractual renewal rates. Professional services are separately priced and are based on standard hourly rates determined by the nature of the service and the experience of the professional performing the service.

(c) Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Reclassification of certain costs

Certain costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation shown for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

(3) Revenues and Receivables

The Company provides e-commerce and network services to various GE businesses in the normal course of business. Sales to GE businesses and affiliates amounted to approximately $8,091 and $6,979 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively and $13,761 and $14,495 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Trade receivables as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004 resulting from normal trade activity with GE were $5,081 and $1,722, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization Agreement, GE is required for the two-year period ending September 27, 2004, to maintain its affiliates’ respective business arrangements with the Company on terms and conditions substantially similar to those in effect at the time of the completion of the Recapitalization and to continue to purchase products and services from the Company totaling $30,600 in each of the four calendar quarters ending September 2003 and September 2004. For the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2003, the Company considered GE to have met the obligation based on sales plus orders placed during the year. For the nine-month period ending June 30, 2004, sales to GE have totaled $23,930.

The allowance for doubtful accounts and sales allowances at December 31, 2003 was $11,345 and at June 30, 2004 was $9,818.

(4) Other Related Party Transactions

Trade payables as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004 resulting from normal activity with GE were $1,177 and $505, respectively.

GE provides a variety of services to the Company. These services include administering certain employee benefit plans and paying related claims, provision of voice telecommunication services, outsourcing of certain functions, centralized financial and administrative activities involved with transaction processing, centralized purchasing of desk top software and other corporate services. Such services have been charged to the Company as utilized by the

Company. Billings for these services, which are included in operating expenses, amounted to $3,034 and $953 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and $6,998 and $2,941 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. As part of the Recapitalization, GE will continue to provide these services on an as needed basis until September 2004. The Company has migrated substantially all of these services to alternative providers, or brought some of the services in-house. The remaining services will be migrated to alternative providers or brought in-house during 2004. Management believes that the amounts paid to GE approximate the cost at which these services could be obtained from a third party.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company entered into an agreement with Francisco Partners under which the Company has agreed to pay to Francisco Partners a fee of $2,000 annually plus expenses for financial advisory and consulting services. Francisco Partners has informed the Company of its intent to defer receipt of the fee. The expense related to the management fee amounted to $500 and $1,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The Company reimbursed Francisco Partners for additional expenses of $215 which were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2004. As of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004, the Company owed Francisco Partners $3,071 and $4,070, respectively.

Credit Facility:

The Company entered into a credit facility on September 27, 2002 which consisted of a $175,000 term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) and a $35,000 revolving credit facility. To consummate the Recapitalization, the Company borrowed $175,000 under the Term Loan Facility and $235,000 under the Senior Subordinated Reset Notes (Reset Notes).

The Company entered into a New Credit Facility on March 21, 2003 consisting of a $70,000 term loan (the New Term Loan Facility) and a $30,000 revolving credit facility (the New Revolving Credit Facility). On March 21, 2003, the Company also issued $105,000 of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes (Floating Notes) for proceeds of $99,750. These proceeds, cash on hand and the borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. In connection with the refinancing, the Company wrote off $5,548 of deferred financing costs that the Company had incurred in establishing the original Credit Facility.

The ability to borrow under the New Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, calculated monthly, at an amount equal to 90.0% of EDI Services Revenue for the immediately preceding six consecutive completed months. The New Term Loan Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either a floating base rate plus 4.0% per annum or floating LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either a floating base rate plus 2.0% per annum or floating LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum. The base rate and LIBOR rate used to calculate the applicable interest rate on the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility may not be less than 4.25% and 2.25%, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2004 bear interest at a base rate of 4.25% plus 4.0%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears for base rate loans and on the last day of selected interest periods, but no later than every three months, for

LIBOR rate loans. Borrowings outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility mature on March 21, 2007.

The New Revolving Credit Facility enables the Company to obtain revolving credit loans and to issue letters of credit for working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $8,900 and available borrowings of $21,100 under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The outstanding letters of credit relate to performance obligations of the Company. The Company pays 0.75% per annum on the unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility.

The obligations of the Company under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantors). The obligations of the Company under the New Credit Facility are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and after-acquired property, both tangible and intangible. The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors are secured by a pledge of all of the Company’s capital stock or other equity interests of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of 66.0% of the capital stock of the Company’s material first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

If the Company were to repay the borrowings under the New Credit Facility prior to the maturity date, the Company would be required to pay a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the maximum facility amount for each full or partial year remaining until the maturity date. If the New Credit Facility is repaid with the proceeds of a private placement of subordinated debt or equity, an initial public offering of equity or a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or stock, the prepayment premium would be reduced by half.

In addition, the New Credit Facility contains various covenants that restrict the Company from taking various actions and require the Company to achieve and maintain certain financial ratios. In March and June 2004, we negotiated amended covenants for 2004 and 2005. As of June 30, 2004 the Company is in compliance with these covenants.

Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes:

On March 21, 2003, the Company issued $105,000 of Floating Notes for proceeds of $99,750. The Floating Notes mature on July 15, 2008 and bear interest at a floating rate based on six-month LIBOR plus 9%, but never less than 12%. The interest rate at June 30, 2004 was 12%. The Floating Notes are secured by second-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets and stock of GXS and its domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of the Company’s material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the Floating Notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The debt discount of $5,250 is being amortized over the life of the Floating Notes using the interest method. Amortization for the period from issuance through June 30, 2004 was $1,247. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on July 15, 2003.

The Floating Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company any time after October 1, 2004, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a redemption premium. The premium is 3% for the twelve months ending October 1, 2005 reducing to 1.5% for the twelve months ending October 1, 2006. After October 1, 2006, the Floating Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Indenture governing the Floating Notes, each holder of the Floating Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder’s notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principle amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase.

In certain situations, the Company must offer to redeem outstanding Floating Notes with Excess Cash Flows as defined in the Floating Notes Indenture.

In addition to the restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness, the Company may not, and may not permit any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or allow to exist or otherwise directly or

indirectly become liable, contingently or otherwise, for any indebtedness secured by any of the assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in an aggregate principal amount, at any time, in excess of two times EDI Services Revenues, as defined, for the most recently ended two fiscal quarter period of the Company.

Senior Subordinated Reset Notes:

On September 27, 2002, the Company issued $235,000 of Reset Notes. The Reset Notes, which mature on September 27, 2009, bear interest at a rate of 12% until September 27, 2003. From and after September 27, 2003, interest on the notes will be reset, with such reset to be based on a variety of factors including the portion of the notes owned by GECC and the then current market conditions for similar securities. The Company is currently in discussions with GECC concerning the interest rate on the Reset Notes. If the interest rate on the Reset Notes is increased to the maximum rate of 17% from 12%, the Company’s annual interest expense would increase by $11.8 million, $7.1 million of which the Company would be required to pay in cash. For the period from September 27, 2003 to June 30, 2004, the Company accrued interest at a rate of 15%, the rate which management believes to be the best estimate of where the negotiations will conclude. To the extent the reset rate exceeds 15%, the Company will have the option to pay cash interest of 15% and add the additional interest to the balance of the Reset Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing April 15, 2003. The Reset Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The Reset Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 27, 2006 at a redemption price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a declining redemption premium. In addition, at any time prior to September 27, 2005, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Reset Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at the redemption date plus a premium, if any, as defined in the agreement, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, provided that the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Indenture governing the Reset Notes, each holder of the Reset Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder’s notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principle amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase.

The Indentures governing the Floating Notes and the Reset Notes contain certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to (i) pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make certain other restricted payments, (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred equity interests, (iii) merge into or consolidate with certain other entities or sell all or significant portions of its assets, (iv) create liens on assets and (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates or related persons.

The Company expects that cash flows from foreign operations will be required to meet its domestic debt service requirements. Such cash flows are expected to be generated from the sale of network and processing resources, software licenses and software maintenance contracts to the foreign operations. However, there is no assurance that the foreign subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow or that the laws in foreign jurisdictions will not change to limit collections on these sales or increase the tax burden on the collections.

The Company paid interest of $1,246 and $15,737 for the three months ending June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively and $3,793 and $23,613 for the six months ending June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

(6) Contingencies

The Company has received a decision from the State of Tennessee’s Department of Revenue upholding a sales tax audit assessment totaling approximately $4,600, including interest and penalties, for the period from May 1, 1994 to December 31, 2000. GE, on behalf of the Company, has filed a complaint in the Tennessee Chancery Court challenging the decision. In addition, the Department of Revenue issued an assessment of $1,100, including interest

and penalties, to GE for the period December 1, 1992 to April 30, 1994, when the Company was a division of GE. GE, on behalf of the Company, has filed a complaint in the Tennessee Chancery Court challenging this assessment. The Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement that was entered into in connection with the Recapitalization Agreement, GE has agreed to indemnify the Company against losses associated with this and other tax matters relating to the periods prior to the Recapitalization.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business none of which management believes is likely to result in any material losses to the Company.

(7) Restructuring

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred approximately $586 and $3,133, respectively, in restructuring costs related to facility and equipment lease buy-outs, facility exit costs including a restoration obligation, and headcount reductions of approximately 17 people primarily in its data center, engineering, and services organizations. Of these costs, $2,538 were reimbursed by General Electric as part of the Recapitalization Agreement.

On June 8, 2004, the Company announced a restructuring program which includes consolidating development and operations functions, streamlining business processes, making technology investments to lower its worldwide service delivery costs and vacating additional facilities. As a result, the Company incurred approximately $17,034 in restructuring costs. The Company expects to reduce its global employee workforce by approximately 300 positions, or approximately 20 percent, by the end of calendar year 2004. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $11,000 to $15,000 during the balance of 2004.
