SUMMARY THIS SUMMARY CONTAINS BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT US AND THE OFFERING. BECAUSE IT IS A SUMMARY, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE RISK FACTORS AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES TO THOSE STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS PROSPECTUS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY THE CONTEXT, REFERENCES IN THIS PROSPECTUS TO "WE," "OUR," "US," "THE COMPANY" AND "OUR COMPANY" REFER TO WORLDWIDE WEB NETWORX CORPORATION. UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS ASSUMES NO EXERCISE OF THE UNDERWRITERS' OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. ABOUT WORLDWIDE WEB NETWORX CORPORATION WorldWide Web NetworX Corporation is a holding company that enters into joint ventures with or acquires ownership interests in off-line business-to-business companies in order to migrate the traditional business transactions of those companies onto the Internet and new business-to-business opportunities which improve the efficiency of transactions, and that makes other opportunistic investments. We currently have joint ventures with or have acquired ownership interests in eleven companies. Although we still have ownership interests in all of these companies, we have written off our interests in four of these companies, WWWX-Jencom, LLC ("WWWX-Jencom"), InterCommerce China, LLC ("InterCommerce China"), VideoNet Corporation ("VideoNet") and Vision Technologies, Inc. ("Vision"), because we have been unable to confirm that they presently have any value. We currently derive revenues from two companies, ATM Service, Ltd. ("ATM") and The Intrac Group, Ltd. ("Intrac"). ATM and Intrac principally derive revenue by providing off-line inventory liquidation and asset recovery services and from the purchase and resale of advertising, merchandise or business services. However, ATM's web site has not, to date, consummated any meaningful transactions or produced any meaningful revenue. OUR OFFICES We maintain our principal executive offices at 521 Fellowship Road, Suite 130, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054. Our telephone number is (856) 914-3100. THE OFFERING 4

Common stock offered by the Selling The 19,814,802 shares registered with this Stockholders prospectus include: 5,964,522 shares of our common stock purchased by stockholders in our private placement offerings; 4,910,849 shares of our common stock issued in connection with acquisitions; 198,950 shares of our common stock issued as a placement agent fee in connection with the offering of our Series A 6% Cumulative Convertible Debentures; 705,014 shares of our common stock issued upon the conversion of certain of our Series A 6% Cumulative Convertible Debentures; 95,000 shares of our common stock issued for legal services rendered; Up to 560,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the remaining Series A 6% Cumulative Convertible Debentures; Up to 200,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to individuals who rendered consulting services to the company; Up to 940,467 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to the placement agent in connection with our private placement offering and the purchase of shares of our common stock by the placement agent; and Up to 6,240,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our Convertible Promissory Note. Common stock to be outstanding after The conversion of the convertible the offering (1) promissory note and the outstanding convertible debentures, and the exercise of the warrants, will result in the issuance of additional shares. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed that an additional 7,940,467 shares will be issued upon conversion or exercise of these securities. Because the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures is based on a formula that varies with the market price of our common stock, because we do not know whether the holder of our convertible promissory note will exercise its option to extend the maturity date for up to two 5
S-17th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
years, and because there is no obligation on the holders of the convertible promissory note, convertible debentures or warrants to convert or exercise these securities, we may issue more or less than the additional 7,940,467 shares covered by this prospectus. Use of Proceeds We will receive no proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders. Any proceeds received by us upon exercise of our warrants may be used for general working capital or for acquisitions. OTC Electronic Bulletin Board WWWX Trading symbol (1) Does not include shares issuable upon exercise of all options under (i) our 1999 Equity Compensation Plan, of which 1,240,000 have been granted and remain outstanding, none of which have been exercised as of February 21, 2001, or (ii) our 2000 Incentive Option Plan, of which 9,475,000 have been granted and remain outstanding, none of which have been exercised as of February 21, 2001. 6

RISK FACTORS An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. IF WE DO NOT RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THIRD PARTY SOURCES OR IMMEDIATELY BECOME PROFITABLE, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS. Our recurring operating losses and growing working capital needs will require us to obtain additional capital to operate our business before we have established that our business will generate significant revenue. As of February 21, 2001, we have accumulated significant losses from our business operations. The continuation of our operations is dependent upon obtaining long-term financing and achieving a profitable level of operations. While we are expending our best efforts to meet our financing needs, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising capital from third parties or generating sufficient funds from operations and continued development. In the event that we do not raise sufficient funds from third parties, we may not have adequate financial resources to continue our business. If additional financing is obtained, the terms of the financing may be adverse to the interests of existing stockholders, including the possibility of substantially diluting their ownership position. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY OBTAINING FUTURE FUNDING SOURCES, IF NEEDED, AND WE MIGHT HAVE TO ACCEPT TERMS THAT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCKHOLDERS. Expenses are expected to continue to exceed revenue in fiscal 2001, and we will need to raise funds from additional financings. Any financings may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our stockholders. For example, the terms of any future financing may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Also, lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. Or we may not be able to locate additional funding sources at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, if and when needed, we will not be able to continue our operations and to pursue our goal of future strategic acquisitions. WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL INCUR CONTINUED LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. To date, we have not been profitable. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, we expect to incur significant costs associated with the pursuit of future strategic acquisitions. Our revenue may not be sufficient to fund our expenses. We may never be profitable or, if we become profitable, we may be unable to sustain profitability. Some of our expenses are or will be fixed, including non-cancelable agreements, equipment leases and real estate leases. Expenses may also increase due to the potential impact of goodwill and other charges from any future acquisitions. OUR TWO REVENUE GENERATING SUBSIDIARIES, ATM SERVICE, LTD. AND THE INTRAC GROUP, LTD., HAVE LIMITED OPERATING HISTORIES UPON WHICH YOU MAY EVALUATE THEIR OPERATIONS. 7
S-19th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
We formed ATM in December 1998 and acquired Intrac in July 1999. Accordingly, we have limited operating history upon which you may evaluate us. Our lack of operating history, and evolving revenue model make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and evaluate our business strategy. This means that you will have only limited information upon which to base an investment decision. Because of our lack of operating history, we also believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations will not be meaningful in the short term and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance. We will encounter risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Many of these risks are described in more detail in this "Risk Factors" section. We may not successfully address any of these risks. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business would be seriously harmed. THE MARKET FOR OUR SOLUTIONS IS AT AN EARLY STAGE AND WE REQUIRE A CRITICAL MASS OF BUYING ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR SUPPLIERS TO IMPLEMENT OUR SOLUTIONS. The market for Internet-based electronic commerce applications and services is at an early stage of development. Our success depends on a significant number of buying organizations, marketplaces and exchanges implementing our products and services. The implementation of our products and services by these organizations is complex, time consuming and expensive. In many cases, these organizations must change established business practices and conduct business in new ways. Our ability to attract additional customers for our products and services will depend on using our existing customers as reference accounts. Unless a critical mass of buying organizations, their suppliers, marketplaces and exchanges utilize our products and services join, our solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance and our business would be seriously harmed. OUR STRATEGY OF ESTABLISHING INTERNET MARKETPLACES AS TRADING COMMUNITIES IS UNPROVEN AND MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. As part of our business strategy, we intend, directly and through relationships with strategic partners, to establish and maintain electronic marketplaces where buyers and suppliers can conduct business-to-business commerce. If this business strategy is flawed, or if we are unable to execute it effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition will be substantially harmed. To date, we have not generated significant revenue from our marketplaces. OUR CUSTOMER BASE IS CONCENTRATED AND OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS IN PART ON OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN EXISTING CUSTOMERS. In fiscal 2000, four customers in the aggregate provided 65% of the company's total revenue. One customer accounted for 20% of our total revenues, one customer accounted for 20%, one customer accounted for 15% and one customer accounted for 10%. If one or more of our major customers were to substantially reduce or stop their use of our products or services, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed. We do not have long-term contractual commitments from any of our current customers and our customers may terminate their contracts with us with little or no advance notice and without penalty. As a result, we cannot assure you that any of our current customers will be customers in future periods. A customer termination would not only result in lost revenue, but also the loss of customer references that are necessary for securing future customers. 8

WE RELY ON THIRD PARTIES TO EXPAND, MANAGE AND MAINTAIN THE COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS OF OUR BUSINESS. We rely on several third parties to provide hardware, software and services required to expand, manage and maintain the computer and communications equipment and software needed for the day-to-day operations of our business. Services provided by these parties include managing our web server, maintaining communications lines and managing network data centers, which are the locations on our network where data is stored. We may not successfully obtain these services on a timely and cost effective basis. Since the installation of the computer and communications equipment and software needed for the day-to-day operations of our business to a significant extent will be managed by third parties, we will be dependent on those parties to the extent that they manage, maintain and provide security for such equipment and software. WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO POTENTIAL PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS AND THIRD PARTY LIABILITY CLAIMS RELATED TO PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH OUR COMMERCE SERVICES NETWORK. Our customers use our products and services to manage their goods and services procurement and other business processes. Any errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers. A product liability claim brought against us, even if not successful, would likely be time consuming and costly and could seriously harm our business. Although our customer license agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability claims, existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate these limitation of liability provisions. Our commerce services network provides our customers with indices of products that can be purchased from participating suppliers. The law relating to the liability of providers of listings of products and services sold over the Internet for errors, defects or other performance problems with respect to those products and services is currently unsettled. We will not pre-screen the types of products and services that may be purchased through our commerce services network. Some of these products and services could contain performance or other problems. We may not successfully avoid civil or criminal liability for problems related to the products and services sold through our commerce services network or other electronic networks using our market maker applications. Any claims or litigation could still require expenditures in terms of management time and other resources to defend ourselves. Liability of this sort could require us to implement measures to reduce our exposure to this liability, which may require us, among other things, to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain product or service offerings or to take precautions to ensure that certain products and services are not available through our commerce services network or other electronic networks using our market maker applications. ACQUISITIONS AND NEW STRATEGIC ALLIANCES MAY DISRUPT OR OTHERWISE HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS. As part of our business strategy we have made and expect to continue to make investments in, or acquisitions of businesses that offer complementary products, services and technologies. Our investments and acquisitions are subject to the risks commonly encountered in such activities, including, among other things: o acquisitions may cause a disruption in our ongoing business, distract our relatively new management team and make it difficult to maintain our standards, controls and procedures; 9
S-111th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
o we may acquire companies or make strategic alliances in markets in which we have little experience; o we may not be able to successfully integrate the services, products and personnel of any acquisition or new alliance into our operations; o we may be required to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for acquisitions, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders; o our acquisitions may not result in any return on our investment and we may lose our entire investment; and o If we were to suffer from one or more of these risks, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be materially harmed. IF INTERNET USAGE DOES NOT GROW, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN TO INCREASE OUR OPERATIONS. Our business will be unable to succeed if Internet usage does not continue to grow or grows at significantly lower rates compared to current trends. The continued growth of the Internet depends on various factors, many of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to the following factors: o the Internet infrastructure's ability to support the demands placed on it; o the public's concerns regarding security and authentication concerns with respect to the transmission over the Internet of confidential information, such as credit card numbers and attempts by unauthorized computer users, so-called hackers, to penetrate online security systems; and o the public's concern regarding privacy issues, including those related to the ability of web sites to gather user information without the user's knowledge or consent. OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON RETAINING OUR CURRENT KEY PERSONNEL. We believe that our success will depend on continued employment of our management team and our ability to attract large businesses to use our on-line web sites for the effective management, purchase and sale of inventory and other assets. Their experience in e-commerce asset management, sales and procurement is important to the establishment of our on-line web sites. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on our key personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of our management personnel could seriously harm our business. Our success also depends on having a trained sales force, telesales group and technical and customer support personnel. We will need to continue to hire additional personnel as our business grows. Competition for personnel, particularly for employees with technical expertise, is intense. New hires also frequently require extensive training before they achieve desired levels of productivity. If we cannot hire and retain suitable personnel, we may not be able to expand and develop new business communities effectively or support those that are developed, resulting in loss of customers and revenues. WE MAY NOT ACQUIRE EMARKETPLACES INTERNATIONAL, INC. 10
S-112th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
Our proposed acquisition of eMarketplaces International, Inc. is conditioned upon a number of factors. See "Subsequent Events - Letter of Intent Concerning the Acquisition of eMarketplaces International, Inc." There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. We will incur certain expenses in connection with the proposed transaction, even if it is not consummated, including the cost of obtaining a fairness opinion and legal and accounting fees. In addition, if the transaction is not consummated and the $500,000 loan that we have made to eMarketplaces International, Inc. in connection with the letter of intent is not repaid, as agreed, our ability to continue our operations will be impaired. THE INTERESTS OF OUR SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS MAY CONFLICT WITH OUR INTERESTS AND THE INTERESTS OF OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS. Our current directors, officers and holders of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock collectively own approximately 30% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of their stock ownership, one or more of these stockholders may be in a position to affect significantly our corporate actions, including, for example, mergers or takeover attempts, in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our public shareholders. D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp. is our largest shareholder and Blair Ventures-Fund I, Inc. ("Fund"), an affiliate of D.H. Blair, is our largest creditor and holds a $3.6 million convertible promissory note which is secured by all of our assets. D.H. Blair's interest as a shareholder may conflict with Fund's interest as a creditor and Fund's exercise of its rights with respect the collateral may conflict with the interests of other shareholders. Warren Rothstein, who was our interim chairman, president and chief executive officer from September 23, 1999 to April 26, 2000, and who continued to serve as one of our directors until August 24, 2000, also served as the chairman of ATM from December 1998 until October 19, 2000 and as chairman of Intrac from July 23, 1999 until October 19, 2000. Mr. Rothstein's duties and responsibilities with respect to certain of these positions may have been in conflict with his duties and responsibilities with respect to others. Thomas Settineri, who was one of our directors from September 23, 1999 until December 27, 2000, was also the president and chief executive officer of ATM and Intrac from July 23, 1999 to October 19, 2000 and has been the chairman of ATM and Intrac since October 19, 2000. Mr. Settineri's duties and responsibilities with respect to certain of these positions may have been in conflict with his duties and responsibilities with respect to others. FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE. Our quarterly operating results will likely vary significantly in the future. Our operating results will likely fall below the expectations of investors in some future quarter or quarters. Our failure to meet these expectations would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our quarterly operating results may vary depending on a number of factors, including: o demand of buyers and sellers to use our web sites to list and purchase or sell products and/or services; o actions taken by our competitors, including new product introductions, fee schedules, pricing policies and enhancements; o size and timing of sales of our services; 11
S-113th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
o our ability to control costs; o budget cycles of buyers and sellers of products and/or services and changes in these budget cycles; and o general economic factors. OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE HIGHLY VOLATILE. The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile, as the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. Our stockholders may not be able to resell their shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to this volatility. The trading prices of many technology and Internet-related companies' stocks have been highly volatile and have reached historical highs and lows within the past 18 months and have reflected relative valuations substantially above historical levels. We cannot assure you that our stock will trade at the same levels as other Internet stocks or predict the market prices for Internet stocks in general. Factors that could cause this volatility may include, among other things: o actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; o announcements of technological innovations; o new sales formats or new products or services; o changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; o conditions or trends in the asset management industry; o conditions or trends in the Internet industry; o changes in the market valuations of other Internet companies; o announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; o changes in capital commitments; o additions or departures of key personnel; o sales of our common stock; and o adequacy of liquidity and capital resources. Many of these factors are beyond our control. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. THE PREVAILING MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SALES OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES INTO THE PUBLIC MARKET. 12

As of the date of this registration statement, there were 38,915,596 shares of our common stock outstanding. Of the outstanding shares, 27,624,513 are subject to the volume limitations on sale set forth in Rule 144 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Sales of the shares issued in private transactions, as well as the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible promissory note or the outstanding convertible debentures and upon exercise of our warrants, may affect the market price of our common stock. If our existing stockholders sell in the public market substantial amounts of our common stock, then the market price of our common stock could fall. OUR E-COMMERCE BUSINESS MAY NOT DEVELOP ADDITIONAL REVENUE SOURCES. We plan to generate revenues through relationships with strategic partners for the sale of assets and services. To generate significant revenues from Internet business-to-business e-commerce, we will have to continue to build these business relationships through our contacts and the expertise of our current or future personnel. We may not be able to form new strategic alliances due to a lack of sufficient financial resources or expertise in a newly targeted industry. If we are not able to build these relationships with strategic partners, we will have difficulty developing additional businesses to generate revenues. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION ALLIANCES MAY NOT GENERATE REVENUES OR MAY BE TERMINATED. We intend to use marketing, distribution and strategic alliances with other Internet companies to create traffic on our on-line business communities and, consequently, to generate revenues. These marketing and distribution alliances will allow us to link our on-line web sites to Internet search engines and other web sites. The success of these relationships depends on the amount of increased traffic we receive from the alliance partners' web sites. We may have difficulty entering into marketing and distribution alliances. Also, these arrangements may not generate revenue. Some of the marketing and distribution alliances and arrangements that we have previously entered into have not, to date, generated revenue. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into these marketing and distribution alliances or renew any marketing and distribution alliances that we are able to establish or that any or all of these arrangements will generate revenue. If we are unable to establish these alliances or if any of these agreements is terminated, no revenue will be generated. BECAUSE OUR INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND HAS LOW BARRIERS TO ENTRY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER PROVIDERS OF E-COMMERCE SERVICES. We believe that the strongest potential competition for e-commerce services does not come from traditional service groups but rather the evolution of the Internet and the types of business-to-business service providers that such evolution will create. The market for Internet based, business-to-business electronic commerce solutions is extremely competitive. As applications for business-to-business e-commerce begin to proliferate and mature, we will continue to compete with other technology companies and traditional service providers that seek to integrate on-line business technologies with their traditional service mix. Competition for Internet products and services and electronic business commerce is intense. We expect that competition will continue to intensify. Barriers to entry are minimal, and competitors can launch new web sites at a relatively low cost. We expect that additional companies will establish competing on-line business communities on a stand-alone basis. E-commerce applications are in the early stages of development. Currently, the principal focus of e-commerce business-to-business groups is to provide information and generate revenues for 13
S-115th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
advertisement. As e-commerce evolves, however, we expect that other entrepreneurs and large, well-known leaders in various industries will create other niche business-to-business services that may compete with our services. These large industry leaders would have better name recognition in the markets that we may target. We also expect competition from large consulting firms and software solution providers, which have begun developing e-commerce applications for their existing clients. The larger financial resources of these competitors may enable them to market to potential buyers and sellers of inventory and other assets and launch more widespread marketing campaigns that would make it more difficult for us to compete. IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN A TIMELY AND COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER, OR IF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DO NOT ACHIEVE MARKET ACCEPTANCE, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. We may fail to introduce or deliver new releases or new potential offerings on a timely and cost-effective basis or at all, particularly given the expansion of our product offering as a result of our recent and contemplated acquisitions. The life cycles of our products are difficult to predict because the market for our products is new and emerging, and is characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products employing new technologies and emerging industry standards could render our existing products or services obsolete and unmarketable. In addition, we have experienced delays in the commencement of commercial shipments of our new releases in the past. If new releases or potential new products are delayed or do not achieve market acceptance, we could experience a delay or loss of revenues and customer dissatisfaction. OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS, IN PART, ON OUR ABILITY TO USE EFFECTIVE INTERNET AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES THAT DEPEND ON INTERNET GOVERNANCE AND REGULATION, WHICH ARE UNCERTAIN. The future success of our business is dependent, in part, on our ability to use an effective Internet marketing strategy. Because the original role of the Internet was to link the government's computers with academic institutions' computers, the Internet was historically administered by organizations that were involved in sponsoring research. Private parties have assumed larger roles in the enhancement and maintenance of the Internet infrastructure. Therefore, it is unclear what organization, if any, will govern the administration of the Internet in the future, including the authorization of domain names. The lack of an appropriate organization to govern the administration of the Internet infrastructure and the legal uncertainties that may follow pose risks to the commercial Internet industry and our specific web site business. In addition, the effective operation of the Internet and our business is also dependent on the continued mutual cooperation among several organizations that have widely divergent interests, including the government, Internet service providers and developers of system software language. These organizations may find that achieving a consensus may become difficult, impossible, time-consuming and costly. Although we are not subject to direct regulation in the United States other than federal and state business regulations generally, changes in the regulatory environment could result in the Federal Communications Commission or other United States regulatory agencies directly regulating our business. Additionally, as Internet use becomes more widespread internationally, there is an increased likelihood of international regulation. We cannot predict whether or to what extent any new regulation affecting e-commerce will occur. New regulation could increase our costs. For example, we do not collect sales or other similar taxes with 14
S-116th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
respect to the equipment, inventory and other products sold through our on-line communities. One or more states may seek to impose sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies like ours that engage in or facilitate e-commerce. State and local governments have made proposals that would impose additional taxes on the sale of goods and services over the Internet. A successful assertion by one or more states or any foreign country that we should collect sales and other taxes on the exchange of equipment, inventory and other goods on our system could increase costs that we could have difficulty recovering from users of our web sites. Governmental agencies and their designees regulate the acquisition and maintenance of web addresses generally. For example, in the United States, the National Science Foundation had appointed Network Solutions, Inc. as the exclusive registrar for the ".com," ".net" and ".org" generic top-level addresses. Although Network Solutions no longer has exclusivity, it remains the dominant registrar. The regulation of web addresses in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change. As result, we may not be able to acquire or maintain relevant web addresses in all countries where we conduct business that are consistent with our brand names and marketing strategy. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing web site addresses and laws protecting trademarks is unclear. WE MAY FACE INCREASED ACCESS COSTS FROM BROWSER PROVIDERS AND INTERNET DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS. Leading web site, browser providers and other Internet distribution channels may begin to charge us to provide access to our products and services. If any of these expenses are not accompanied by increased revenues, our e-commerce business will be negatively impacted. CONCERNS REGARDING SECURITY OF TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSMITTING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR E-COMMERCE BUSINESS. We believe that concern regarding the security of confidential information transmitted over the Internet, including, for example, business and supply requirements, credit card numbers and other forms of payment methods, prevent many potential customers from engaging in online transactions. If we do not add sufficient security features to future product releases, our services may not gain market acceptance or we may face additional legal exposure. Despite the measures we have taken in the area of security, our infrastructure is potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, hackers or similar problems caused by employees, customers or other Internet users. If a person circumvents our security measures, that person could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. Security breaches that result in access to confidential information could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or liability. These risks may require us to make significant investments and efforts to protect against or remedy security breaches, which would increase the costs of maintaining our web sites. WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL LIABILITY FOR PUBLISHING OR DISTRIBUTING CONTENT OVER THE INTERNET. We may be subject to legal claims relating to the content in our industry-specific on-line web sites, or the downloading and distribution of content. Providers of Internet products and services have been sued in the past, sometimes successfully, based on the content of material. The representations as to the origin and ownership of licensed content that we generally obtain may not adequately protect us. In addition, we draw some of the content provided in our on-line business communities from data compiled by other parties. This data may have errors. If our content is improperly used or if we supply incorrect information, it could result in unexpected liability. Our insurance may not cover claims of this 15
S-117th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
type, or may not provide sufficient coverage. Costs from these claims that are not covered by our insurance or exceed our coverage would damage our business and limit our financial resources. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR ARE HELD LIABLE FOR INFRINGING ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, WE MAY BE FORCED TO DEVOTE SIGNIFICANT TIME, ATTENTION AND MONEY TO DEFEND THESE CLAIMS. Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the Internet and software industries. We expect third-party infringement claims involving Internet technologies and software products and services to increase. If an infringement claim is filed against us, we may be prevented from using certain technologies and may incur significant costs to resolve the claim. Third parties may infringe or misappropriate our trademarks or other proprietary rights, which could injure our reputation and business. We may be subject to or may initiate proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which may demand significant financial and management resources. While we enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants, and generally control access to and distribution of our proprietary information, the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not prevent misappropriation. In addition, we do not know whether we will be able to defend our proprietary rights since the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of proprietary rights in Internet-related industries is uncertain and still evolving. Many parties are actively developing e-commerce and other Internet related technologies, as well as a variety of online business models and methods. We believe that these parties will continue to take steps to protect these technologies, including, but not limited to, seeking patent protection. As a result, disputes regarding the ownership of these technologies and rights associated with online business are likely to arise in the future. Although we believe our products and information system do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us. From time to time in the ordinary course of business we may be subject to claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. These claims and any resultant litigation, should this occur, could further subject us to significant liability for damages. In addition, even if we prevail, litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to defend, and could result in the diversion of our time and attention and a reduction in any potential profits. Any claims from third parties may also result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims unless we are able to enter into agreements with the third parties making these claims. WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUOUS INTRODUCTION OF ENHANCED SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES AND EXPANSION OF OUR SOFTWARE SERVICES, WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROJECT ACCURATELY. If traffic in our on-line businesses develops, we may need to expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network hardware and software. We are not able to predict these needs. In addition, we may not be able to expand and upgrade our systems and network hardware and software capabilities to accommodate our future needs. If we do not appropriately upgrade our systems, network hardware and software on an ongoing basis, we may have difficulty competing effectively. The life cycles of the software used to support our e-commerce services are difficult to predict because the market for our e-commerce web sites for sales and procurement of inventory and other assets is new and emerging and is characterized by changing customer needs and industry standards. The introduction of on-line products employing new technologies and industry standards could render our existing system obsolete and unmarketable. If a new software language becomes the industry standard, we 16
S-118th Page of 145TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
may need to rewrite our software to remain competitive. We may not be able to respond in a cost-effective way and lose business as a result. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS AND OUR RIGHT TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK COULD MAKE A THIRD-PARTY ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY DIFFICULT OR DILUTE THE VOTING RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK. WorldWide Web NetworX Corporation is a Delaware corporation. Anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our articles of incorporation provide that our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock without shareholder approval. The issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us. Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us and would adversely affect the market price of our common stock and voting and other rights of holders of our common stock. Further, if our Board of Directors issues preferred stock with greater voting rights than our common stock, the voting rights of the holders of our common stock will be diluted. See "Letter of Intent Concerning the Acquisition of eMarketplaces International, Inc." WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, AND WE MAY INFRINGE ON THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR SUCCESS AND OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION. We have registered the name "ATMcenter.com" as a service mark for use in connection with our electronic commerce services on the Principal Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Although we seek to protect our proprietary rights, our actions may be inadequate to protect any trademarks and other proprietary rights or to prevent others from claiming violations of their trademarks and other proprietary rights. We may not be able to protect our domain names for our on-line industry-specific web sites as trademarks because those names may be too generic or perceived as describing a product or service or its attributes rather than serving a trademark function. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights in trademarks, service marks and other indications of origin, competitors will be able to use names and marks that are identical to ours or sufficiently similar to ours to cause confusion among potential customers between us and our services and our competitors and their services. This confusion may result in the diversion of business to our competitors or the loss of potential or existing customers. Also, to the extent these competitors have problems with the quality of their services, this confusion may injure our reputation for quality. Except for a search for the name ATMcenter.com, we have not conducted searches to determine whether our service marks, trademarks and similar items may infringe on the rights of third parties. DIFFICULTY OF PROTECTING PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES. Copyrights and trademarks may receive limited or no protection in some countries, and the global nature of the Internet makes it impossible to control the ultimate destination of our work. 17

* Less than one percent (1) percentages are based on 38,915,596 shares of our common stock outstanding as of February 21, 2001. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately negotiated transactions; o short sales; o broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o a combination of any such methods of sale; and o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. 23

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the Selling Stockholders. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Neither the company's counsel, nor any of the experts named in this registration statement as having prepared or certified any part hereof, had, or is to receive in connection with this offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the company or any of its subsidiaries.
