Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - The Company

Basis of Presentation

         iVillage Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on June 8, 1995 and commenced operations on July 1, 1995. The Company is a
leading women's media company and the number one brand serving women online.
iVillage includes iVillage.com, Women.com, Business Women's Network, iVillage
Solutions, Lamaze Publishing, The Newborn Channel, and Astrology.com.
iVillage.com is a leading online women's destination providing practical
solutions and everyday support for women 18 and over. Lamaze Publishing produces
advertising-supported educational materials for expectant and new parents. The
Newborn Channel is a satellite television network in over 1,000 hospitals
nationwide.

         The Company has sustained net losses and negative cash flows from
operations since its inception. The Company's ability to meet its obligations in
the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to achieve
profitable operations and/or raise additional financing through public or
private equity financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate
sources, or other sources of financing to fund operations. However, there is no
assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations or that it will be
able to raise adequate financing from other sources. Management believes that
its current funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its planned
expenditures through the next twelve months. If anticipated operating results
are not achieved, management has the intent and believes it has the ability to
delay or reduce expenditures so as not to require additional financial
resources, if such resources were not available on terms acceptable to the
Company.

         The Company is subject to the risks, expenses and uncertainties
frequently encountered by companies in the new and rapidly evolving markets for
Internet products and services. These risks include the failure to develop and
extend the Company's online service brands, the rejection of the Company's
services by Web consumers, vendors, sponsors and/or advertisers and the
inability of the Company to maintain and increase the levels of traffic on its
online services, as well as other risks and uncertainties. In the event the
Company does not successfully implement its business plan, certain assets may
not be recoverable.

         The numbers presented in this Form 10-Q include the results of
operations of Public Affairs Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PAG") and
operator of Business Women's Network ("BWN") that is controlled by the Company,
for the period from July 16, 2001 through September 30, 2001, and the results of
operations of Women.com from June 18, 2001 through September 30, 2001.


Unaudited Interim Financial Information

         The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, included herein have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments and

appropriate inter-company elimination adjustments, necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2001, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for
the full fiscal year or any future period.

Reclassifications

         Within the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the Company
has made certain reclassifications to the prior year's revenue and expense
amounts to conform to the presentation in 2001. None of the reclassifications
impacted the Company's net loss or net loss per share attributable to common
stockholders in any period. The reclassifications include the combining of cost
of revenues with product development and technology to form the operating
expense line editorial, product development and technology.

Restricted Cash

         Restricted cash includes money held for a letter of credit securing a
real estate lease for the Company's New York office space (See Note 7).

Revenue and Receivables

         A subsidiary of Unilever United States, Inc. ("Unilever") accounted for
approximately 14% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively, and Hearst Communications, Inc. ("Hearst")
accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 (See Note 3). Our five largest advertisers accounted for
approximately 35% and 34% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively. No one advertiser accounted for greater than
10% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, and the five largest advertisers accounted for approximately 26% and 24%
of total revenues, respectively. At September 30, 2001, The Procter and Gamble
Company ("Procter and Gamble") and Unilever accounted for approximately 22% and
20% of the net accounts receivable, respectively. At December 31, 2000, Ford
Motor Media accounted for approximately 11% of the net accounts receivable.

         Included in sponsorship and advertising revenues are barter
transactions, which accounted for approximately 3% and 5% of sponsorship and
advertising revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
respectively, and approximately 5% of sponsorship and advertising revenues for
the corresponding periods in 2000.

Net Loss 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 is
computed using the weighted-average number of common and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are
excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

         Included in the calculation of weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding are 1,928,443 shares which have not been issued as of
September 30, 2001. These shares are being held for former Women.com
stockholders that have not yet exchanged their Women.com shares for shares of
the Company as of the balance sheet date.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


         Stock options and warrants in the amount of 10,427,996 shares for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001 were not included in the computation of
diluted net loss per share as they were anti-dilutive as a result of net losses
during the period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
approved two new pronouncements: SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 applies to all
business combinations with a closing date after June 30, 2001. This Statement
eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and further clarifies
the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS
No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets and initiates an annual review for impairment. Identifiable intangible
assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized. The
amortization provisions apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired
after June 30, 2001. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired prior to June
30, 2001 will be affected upon adoption. The adoption will require the Company
to cease amortization of its remaining net goodwill balance and to perform an
impairment test of its existing goodwill based on a fair value concept. The
Company is still reviewing the provisions of these statements, which must be
adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. As of September 30, 2001, the Company
has net unamortized goodwill of approximately $42.6 million.

         In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144
becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of
SFAS No. 144 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 2 - Discontinued Operations

         In June 2000, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of
iBaby, Inc. Results of these operations have been classified as discontinued
operations and all prior period results have been reclassified.

Net revenue and loss from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions

National Broadcasting Company, Inc

         In February 2001, the Company amended its November 1998 agreement with
the National Broadcasting Company, Inc. ("NBC") to provide for an extension of
time during which the Company must purchase its advertising or promotional spots
on the NBC network. The revised terms require the Company to purchase
approximately $11.6 million of advertising or promotional spots between January
30, 2001 and December 31, 2002, with $3.0 million of advertising or promotional
spots being telecast during the year 2001, of which approximately $1.5 million
and $0.1 million was telecast during the second and third quarters of 2001,
respectively, and approximately $8.6 million during the year 2002. As of
September 30, 2001, included in the caption other current assets in the
condensed consolidated balance sheet is $5.4 million paid to NBC for advertising
or promotional spots to be broadcast during the years 2001 and 2002.

AOL Time Warner

         The Company has extended its interactive services agreement with
America Online, Inc. ("AOL") until December 31, 2001 for a monthly fee of
$268,908.

         Women.com Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of
the Company acquired in June 2001 ("Women.com"), is also party to an interactive
services agreement with AOL. This agreement is set to expire in March 2002
unless mutually extended; provided, however, that AOL has the option for a
two-year period to use one or more of the Women.com trademarks or tradenames as
keywords or text-based links from the AOL network to the Women.com Web site. In
consideration for AOL carrying certain content of Women.com, Women.com receives
guaranteed impressions and other services. Women.com is obligated to pay AOL
approximately $5.7 million in carriage fees during the term of the agreement. In
addition, under the agreement, AOL has the exclusive right to sell or license
advertisements through Women.com's Astronet online area residing on the AOL
network and is entitled to a revenue share on such advertising.

         In addition, Women.com has entered into two amendments to the
interactive services agreement pursuant to which Women.com agreed to pay AOL an
additional carriage fee of approximately $3.5 million in consideration of AOL
providing Women.com with guaranteed placements for Astronet content in the
horoscopes area of the AOL network and the right to be the exclusive provider of
horoscopes content on ICQ.com. The amendments with AOL are set to expire in June
2002.

         Included in the caption sales and marketing in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations is approximately $1.2 million and $3.5
million of expense from the Company's AOL agreements for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, respectively.

         In April 2001, the Company and Candice Carpenter, the Company's former
chief executive officer, amended their previous agreement to provide that Ms.
Carpenter would resign as a member of the Company's board of directors but would
remain an employee of the Company available for special projects at the request
of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and board of directors through December
31, 2002. Ms. Carpenter received a one-time lump sum cash payment of $1,327,900
(less an interest payment of $27,900 on her promissory note to the Company) in
lieu of the salary, bonus and other payments set forth in her October 2000
agreement with the Company and will receive a monthly salary of $3,100 in 2001
and $2,325 in 2002 (each less set-offs for future interest payments on her

promissory note). The Company's obligation to pay Ms. Carpenter salary
terminates on December 31, 2002. The amendment also provided that Ms. Carpenter
would surrender 333,334 Company stock options with an exercise price of $24.00
and 75,000 Company stock options with an exercise price of $17.17 to the
Company.

Hearst Communications, Inc.

         On February 5, 2001, the Company entered into a securities purchase
agreement with Hearst and amended and restated such agreement on February 22,
2001. Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated securities purchase
agreement, Hearst agreed to purchase from the Company 9,324,000 shares of the
Company's common stock and a warrant exercisable for 2,100,000 shares of the
Company's common stock less the amounts of common stock and warrants purchased
by the other former Women.com stockholders pursuant to a rights offering. In
addition, under the amended and restated securities purchase agreement, Hearst
agreed to purchase, or was required to purchase, additional shares of the
Company's common stock in the event of any shortfall in the amount of
Women.com's cash and working capital on March 31, 2001. Finally, Hearst was
required to purchase from the Company additional shares of the Company's common
stock in the event that in excess of 2% of the Women.com stockholders exercised
appraisal rights.

         Accordingly, on June 18, 2001, Hearst purchased 9,171,343 shares of the
Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase 2,065,695 shares of the
Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $19.7
million. Hearst did not purchase any shares of the Company's common stock
pursuant to the shortfall provisions and the appraisal rights provisions of the
amended and restated securities purchase agreement described above.

         As a condition to Hearst's obligation to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock and warrant pursuant to the amended and restated
securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to conduct a rights offering
under which each former Women.com stockholder as of April 16, 2001, other than
Hearst, would have the opportunity to purchase their pro rata portion of the
9,324,000 shares of the Company's common stock and warrant exercisable for
2,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock offered to Hearst. On June 15,
2001, the rights offering was completed and subsequently, the Company issued to
the former Women.com stockholders, other than Hearst, 152,657 shares of the
Company's common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 34,305 shares of
the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.3
million.

         On June 18, 2001, and as amended and restated on June 20, 2001, the
Company entered into a stockholder agreement with Hearst pursuant to which the
Company is required to appoint a maximum of three representatives of Hearst to
separate classes of the Company's Board of Directors. The number of
representatives from Hearst is determined by the amount of shares of the
Company's common stock held by Hearst or its affiliates. Currently, Hearst has
three designees on the Company's Board of Directors.

         The amended and restated stockholder agreement terminates on June 20,
2006 unless earlier terminated by the Company and Hearst. Upon any early
termination, any Hearst designees serving on the Company's Board of Directors
must immediately resign.

         As part of the merger with Women.com, the Company assumed an amended
and restated magazine content license and hosting agreement with Hearst. Under
this agreement, and as further amended by the Company and Hearst on June 18,
2001, the Company will provide production and hosting services for certain Web
sites affiliated with selected Hearst magazines. In consideration for these
services, Hearst agreed to:


                                       8
<PAGE>

iVillage Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


   o  purchase from the Company at least $5.0 million per year for production
      services during the three-year term of the agreement, for a total of at
      least $15.0 million;

   o  place at least $2.0 million of Hearst advertising per year (total of $6
      million) on the iVillage network, which amount may be increased in the
      second and third years of the agreement if Hearst fails to pay the Company
      the required fees for production services as described above. If such a
      shortfall in production fees occurs in the second and third years of the
      agreement, Hearst must place additional advertising in an amount equal to
      40% of the production fee shortfall; and

   o  grant to the Company a right of first offer on any new internet-based
      development projects initiated by Hearst that are appropriate for
      inclusion on the network.

         The agreement also provides for revenue sharing between the Company and
Hearst with respect to advertising revenues obtained by the Company from the
Hearst magazine Web sites and other Web sites of the Company containing
substantial Hearst content. This revenue sharing arrangement requires that the
Company pay Hearst a royalty payment, based on net advertising revenues, of at
least $3.9 million during the three-year term of the agreement. This amount
would be reduced on a pro rata basis if Hearst failed to expend the $5.0 million
in production fees in the second and third years of the agreement.

         Additionally, iVillage is entitled to a commission derived from the
sale of Hearst magazine subscriptions made through the Company's network of
websites. This commission is equal to thirty percent of gross revenues.

         The magazine content license and hosting agreement, as amended, expires
on June 18, 2004. However, the agreement may be terminated by either party
immediately upon written notice to the other party in the event of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or a change of control of the other party.

         As part of the merger with Women.com, the Company acquired
approximately $4.9 million of prepaid print advertising in the Hearst magazines.
These ads are currently scheduled to appear through December 2002. The Company
recognized approximately $0.8 million of expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 from this advertising. As of September 30, 2001, included in
the caption other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet is
approximately $4.1 million of prepaid Hearst print advertising.

         Revenues from Hearst, net of the royalty payment, for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 were approximately $2.0 million and
$2.1 million, respectively.


Note 4 - Business Acquisitions

Unilever

         In March 2001, the Company purchased 30.1% of Cooperative Beauty
Ventures, L.L.C. d/b/a Substance.com (the "venture") from Unilever for $1.5
million increasing its ownership to 80.1%. The agreement provides that the
Company will fund the ongoing business and operations of the venture, but not to
exceed $7.0 million, and terminates Unilever's funding obligation. As of
September 30, 2001, the Company has contributed approximately $1.9 million to
the venture.

         Unilever can exercise a "put" option to require the Company to purchase
Unilever's remaining ownership interest for fair market value in the venture at
any time after September 30, 2002, or at any

time earlier if the venture permits any person to use the "Substance" mark other
than in connection with the venture's business or the venture fails to use the
"Substance" mark in connection with its business from and after May 1, 2001. At
any time on or after September 30, 2002, the Company can exercise a "call"
option to require Unilever to sell its remaining interest in the venture to the
Company for fair market value; provided that Unilever can exercise a "call"
option superior to the Company's "call" option to purchase a portion of the
Company's membership interest in the venture for fair market value, up to a
limit of 50% of the ownership of the venture. In addition, at any time on or
after September 30, 2002, Unilever can exercise a "call" option to purchase a
portion of the Company's membership interest in the venture for fair market
value, up to a limit of 50% of the ownership of the venture. As a result of the
purchase transaction described above, the Company gained operational control of
the venture and the venture has been consolidated within the Company's financial
statements beginning in March 2001.

         In addition, the Company amended its February 2000 advertising
agreement with Unilever. The amendment increased Unilever's advertising purchase
commitment to $14.5 million from $12.0 million.

Women.com Networks, Inc.

         On June 18, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Women.com Networks, Inc., the operator of a leading women's online destination.
The aggregate purchase price paid was approximately $30.1 million consisting of
approximately $0.2 million in cash and 15,519,838 shares of the Company's common
stock. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the
acquired net assets of Women.com of approximately $28.8 million has been
allocated on a preliminary basis to goodwill and is being amortized over the
period of expected benefit, which is estimated to be three years. The Company is
in the process of obtaining a purchase price allocation.

         The accompanying unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated
results of operations for the Company as if the acquisition of Women.com had
been consummated on January 1, 2000. The pro forma information does not

Business Women's Network

         On July 16, 2001, the Company acquired control of PAG, operator of BWN,
a privately-held, Washington, D.C. based company. BWN connects over 5,000
national and international women's businesses, professional organizations, and
Web sites that represent approximately 39 million executive and entrepreneurial
women across the United States and in many countries. The purchase price was
approximately $0.6 million. The difference between the purchase price and the
fair value of the acquired net assets of PAG and BWN of approximately $1.9
million has been allocated on a preliminary basis to goodwill. The Company is in
the process of obtaining a purchase price allocation.

Leases

         The Company leases office and warehouse space, and equipment, under
non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through April 2015.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under
non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2001:

                                                                =======

         In March 2000, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease for
approximately 105,000 square feet at 500-512 Seventh Avenue in which the Company
has consolidated its New York City operations. Pursuant to the terms of the
lease, the Company anticipates receiving approximately $5.3 million for
reimbursement of certain construction expenses. The benefit of the reimbursement
has been deferred and will be recognized ratably over the life of the lease. The
Company received approximately $3.8 million in January 2001 and approximately
$0.5 million in April 2001 as partial reimbursement of construction costs. In
October 2001, the Company amended its lease by terminating a portion of the
premises (See Note 7).

         In September 2001, the Company surrendered the New York office space
assumed in the Women.com acquisition back to the landlord. The lease had a
remaining financial commitment of $11.1 million and expired in December 2009. In
consideration of the early termination of the lease, the Company forfeited its
right to the security deposit securing the lease, approximately $1.4 million, to
the landlord.

         On September 15, 2001, Lamaze Publishing Company, a subsidiary of the
Company ("Lamaze Publishing"), amended their lease located at 9 Old Kings
Highway, Connecticut, terminating obligations under the lease regarding 3,319
square feet of its leased premises. The amended lease reduces the Company's
yearly financial commitment by approximately $0.1 million and approximately $0.4
million over the remaining life of the lease. In consideration of the early
termination of part of the leased space, the Company incurred fees of
approximately $0.1 million.

Litigation

         Several plaintiffs have filed class action lawsuits against the Company
and several of its present and former executives and our underwriters in
connection with its March 1999 initial public offering in federal court. The
complaints generally assert claims under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The complaints
seek class action certification, unspecified damages in an amount to be
determined at trial, and costs associated with the litigation, including
attorneys' fees.

         The Company believes that the lawsuits and claims asserted against it
pursuant to these class action complaints are without merit and intends to
vigorously defend against these claims. The Company does not believe that any of
these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations.

Note 6 - Treasury Stock

         On September 20, 2001, the Company announced its intention to acquire,
in open market transactions, up to 2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), subject to and in compliance with the
provisions and limitations of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Purchases were
made several times during September 2001 at prevailing market prices. The source
of funds for the purchase of the shares was the Company's general corporate
funds, and all shares purchased are held in treasury. During September 2001, the
Company repurchased 167,859 shares at a cumulative cost of $129,313.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events

         On October 1, 2001, the Company purchased, off market, approximately
one million shares of its common stock from Capital Guardian Trust Company, a
major stockholder of the Company ("Capital Guardian"), and the Company's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and certain other Company officers and
directors purchased in aggregate approximately 750,000 additional shares from
Capital Guardian, all at a market discount. The cost of the buyback for the
Company was approximately $0.4 million.

         On October 17, 2001, the Company amended its lease located at 500-512
Seventh Avenue, terminating obligations under the lease regarding 21,111 square
feet of the leased premises. The amended lease reduces the Company's yearly
financial commitment by approximately $0.9 million and approximately $13.5
million over the remaining life of the lease. Additionally, the lease amendment
reduces the amount to be reimbursed by the landlord for certain construction
expenses from approximately $5.3 million to $5.1 million. In consideration of
the early termination of part of the leased space, the Company incurred fees of
approximately $1.3 million. Concurrently, with the signing of this lease
amendment, the letter of credit securing the real estate lease, which is
classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was
reduced to approximately $8.5 million.

Overview

         We are a leading women's media company and the number one brand serving
women online. iVillage includes iVillage.com, Women.com, Business Women's
Network, iVillage Solutions, Lamaze Publishing, The Newborn Channel and
Astrology.com. iVillage.com is a leading online women's destination providing
practical solutions and everyday support for women 18 and over. Lamaze
Publishing produces advertising supported educational materials for expectant
and new parents. The Newborn Channel is a satellite television network in over
1,000 hospitals nationwide.

         In June 2000, we decided to discontinue the operations of our iBaby,
Inc. subsidiary. As such, all discussion and analysis below represents solely
our continuing operations.

         In addition, the discussion and analysis below include the results of
operations of BWN for the period from July 16, 2001 through September 30, 2001,
and the results of operations of Women.com from June 18, 2001 through September
30, 2001.

         To date our revenues have been derived primarily from the sale of
sponsorship and advertising contracts. Sponsorship revenues are derived
principally from contracts ranging from one to three years. Sponsorships are
designed to support broad marketing objectives, including brand promotion,
awareness, product introductions and online research. Sponsorship agreements
typically include the delivery of impressions on our Web sites and occasionally
the design and development of customized sites that enhance the promotional
objectives of the sponsor. An impression is the viewing of promotional material
on a Web page, which may include banner advertisements, links, buttons, or other
text or images. As part of certain sponsorship agreements, sponsors who also
sell products may provide us with a commission on sales of their products
generated through our Web sites. To date, these amounts have not been
significant.

         Advertising revenues are derived principally from short-term
advertising contracts in which we


                                       13
<PAGE>


typically guarantee a minimum number of impressions or pages to be delivered to
users over a specified period of time for a fixed fee. Sponsorship and
advertising revenues are recognized ratably in the period in which the
advertisement is displayed, provided that we have no continuing obligations and
the collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, at the lesser of the
ratio of impressions delivered over total guaranteed impressions or the
straight-line basis over the term of the contract. To the extent that minimum
guaranteed impressions are not met, we defer recognition of the corresponding
revenues until the guaranteed impressions are achieved.

         Included in sponsorship and advertising revenues are revenues from
advertising placements in Lamaze Publishing's publications, videos and Web site
and satellite broadcasts on The Newborn Channel. In addition, revenues are
generated through a sampling and coupon program, which offers advertisers the
ability to distribute samples, coupons and promotional literature to new and
expectant mothers.

         Sponsorship and advertising revenues also include barter revenues,
which generally represent exchanges by us of advertising space on our Web sites
for reciprocal advertising space or traffic on other Web sites. Revenues and
expenses from these barter transactions are recorded based upon the fair value
of the advertisements delivered. Fair value of advertisements delivered is based
upon our recent historical practice of receiving cash from similar advertisers.
Barter revenues are recognized when the advertisements are displayed on
iVillage.com and its affiliated properties. Barter expenses are recognized when
our advertisements are displayed on the reciprocal Web sites or properties,
which is typically in the same period as when advertisements are displayed on
iVillage.com and its affiliated properties, and are included as part of sales
and marketing expenses. Revenues from barter transactions were approximately
$1.8 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

         iVillage Solutions is a business unit within iVillage that provides
production and back-end provisioning for customers in need of these services. We
recognize revenues from production services based upon actual hours worked at
our negotiated hourly rates.

         BWN connects over 5,000 national and international women's businesses,
professional organizations, and Web sites that represent approximately 39
million executive and entrepreneurial women across the United States and in many
countries. Revenues from BWN are generated primarily through subscription based
programs that convey current best practices for women and diversity issues in
the workplace. We recognize revenue from these subscriptions ratably over the
term of the contract.

                  Revenues from the e-commerce portion of Astrology.com consist
of the sale of astrological charts and other related products to visitors to the
Astrology.com Web site. We recognize revenues from Astrology.com product sales,
net of any discounts, when products are shipped to customers and the collection
of the receivable is reasonably assured.

         We received fees from the licensing of portions of our content in
connection with the PlanetRx.com relationship. These fees are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the contract.

         We have and expect to continue to receive revenues from new initiatives
involving subscription-based properties and the sale of research. While we
believe that one or both of these new initiatives will develop into a new source
of significant revenues, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
any of these endeavors since none of them have generated any significant
revenues to date.

         We have and expect to continue to reduce our costs through increased
managerial efficiencies and several expense reduction initiatives targeted at
certain expenses, including without limitation, reduced advertising, targeted
staff reductions, reduced company employee benefit plan costs, as well as other
initiatives. Through September 30, 2001, we have paid approximately $8.8 million
for severance and related costs for staff reduction and merger related layoffs.
On November 14, 2001, we announced further staff reductions of approximately 50
employees, or approximately 18% of our workforce.


                                       14

         Management has also been able to significantly reduce the expenditures
of the combined company resulting from the acquisition of Women.com through
elimination of overlapping personnel, facilities, marketing expenses,
technology, and legal, accounting and regulatory fees. We generally have
leveraged our current operating infrastructure to meet our future operational
needs and integrated any necessary Women.com technology without incurring
material costs.


Results of Operations

Revenues

         Revenues were approximately $18.1 million and $42.1 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, which represents a
decrease of approximately 11% and 27%, respectively, when compared with the
corresponding periods' revenues of approximately $20.2 million and $57.7 million
in 2000. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sponsorship and
advertising revenues during 2001 from Internet advertisers, and an overall
downturn in the online advertising sector, offset by revenues from the Women.com
and BWN acquisitions. Sponsorship and advertising revenues were approximately
$13.8 million and $34.7 million, or 76% and 82% of total revenues, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to
approximately $18.5 million and $52.8 million, or 92% of total revenues, for the
corresponding periods in 2000. Revenues from Lamaze Publishing and The Newborn
Channel accounted for approximately 21% and 26% of sponsorship and advertising
revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively,
compared to approximately 18% and 19% for the corresponding periods in 2000.

         Unilever accounted for approximately 14% of our total revenues for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, and Hearst, a
related party, accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. Our five largest advertisers accounted
for approximately 35% and 34% of total revenues for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, respectively. No one advertiser accounted for greater
than 10% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, and the five largest advertisers accounted for approximately 26% and 24%
of total revenues, respectively. At September 30, 2001, Procter and Gamble and
Unilever accounted for approximately 22% and 20% of the net accounts receivable,
respectively. At December 31, 2000, Ford Motor Media accounted for approximately
11% of the net accounts receivable.

         Included in sponsorship and advertising revenues are barter
transactions, which accounted for approximately 3% and 5% of sponsorship and
advertising revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
respectively, and approximately 5% of sponsorship and advertising revenues for
the corresponding periods in 2000.

         Included in revenues are production fees received from work performed
by our iVillage Solutions unit, which accounted for approximately 9% and 4% of
total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
respectively. Since iVillage Solutions was a new unit formed in 2001, there are
no comparative numbers for the corresponding periods in 2000.

         Included in revenues are subscription based fees derived from the
services provided by BWN which accounted for approximately 5% and 2% of total
revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively.
BWN was acquired in the third quarter of 2001. There are no comparative numbers
for the corresponding periods in 2000.


                                       15

         Included in revenues are fees received from the licensing of portions
of our content, and fees from chart sales through Astrology.com, which accounted
for approximately 10% and 11% of total revenues for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to approximately 8% for the
comparable periods in 2000.

Operating Expenses

Editorial, Product Development and Technology

         Editorial, product development and technology expenses consist
primarily of payroll and related expenses for the editorial, technology, Web
site design and production staffs, severance costs for terminated employees, the
cost of communications, related expenditures necessary to support our Web sites,
software development, technology and support operations, and an allocation of
facility expenses, which is based on the number of personnel. Editorial, product
development and technology expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 were approximately $8.2 million and $26.2 million, or 45% and
62% of total revenues, respectively. Editorial, product development and
technology expenses were approximately $9.4 million and $26.6 million, or 47%
and 46% of total revenues, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2000.
The decrease between the comparable nine month periods was primarily
attributable to the decrease of salaries and related benefits and consultant
fees of approximately $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, offset by the
acquisitions of Women.com and a majority interest in Cooperative Beauty
Ventures, L.L.C., which resulted in incremental costs of approximately $1.2
million and $0.5 million, respectively, and an increase in severance costs for
terminated employees of approximately $0.6 million. Editorial, product
development and technology expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the comparable
period in 2000, as a result of a larger percent decline in editiorial, product
development and technology expenses as compared to the decline in revenues.
Editorial, product development and technology expenses increased as a percentage
of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to
the same period in 2000, as a result of a larger percent decline in revenues as
compared to editorial, product development and technology expenses.

Sales and Marketing

         Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs related to
distribution agreements, payroll and expenses for sales and marketing personnel,
severance costs for terminated employees, commissions, advertising and other
marketing-related expenses, and an allocation of facility expenses, which is
based on the number of personnel. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001 were approximately $8.0 million and $27.7
million, or 44% and 66% of total revenues, respectively. Sales and marketing
expenses were approximately $12.9 million and $42.6 million, or 64% and 74% of
total revenues, for the comparable periods in 2000. The dollar decrease in sales
and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared
to 2000, was primarily attributable to our continued cost reduction initiatives
which resulted in an approximately $13.4 million decrease in advertising
expenses, and a decrease in salaries, commissions and related benefits of
approximately $3.6 million, offset by severance for terminated employees of
approximately $0.8 million, Hearst print advertising expense of approximately
$0.8 million, and the acquisitions of Women.com and BWN and a majority interest
in Cooperative Beauty Ventures, L.L.C, which resulted in incremental costs of
approximately $2.1 million. Sales and marketing expenses decreased as a
percentage of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, as a result of a larger percent
decline in sales and marketing expenses as compared to the decline in revenues.

         Included in sales and marketing expenses are barter transactions, which
amounted to approximately 5% and 6% of sales and marketing costs during the
three and nine months ended

                                       16
<PAGE>

September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to approximately 7% and 6% of sales
and marketing costs for the comparable periods in 2000, respectively.

General and Administrative

         General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and
related expenses and benefits and related costs for general corporate overhead,
including executive management, finance, allocated facilities, human resources,
and legal, severance costs for terminated employees, non-capitalizable costs
associated with our acquisition with Women.com, and other professional fees.
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 were approximately $3.6 million and $12.5 million, or 20% and
30% of total revenues, respectively. For the comparable periods in 2000, general
and administrative expenses were approximately $4.9 million and $18.0 million,
or 24% and 31% of total revenues, respectively. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses for the comparable nine month period was primarily due
to a decrease in consultant and professional fees of approximately $3.3 million,
recruiting fees of approximately $0.9 million, expenses incurred for
international endeavors of approximately $1.0 million, costs associated with our
New York office space of approximately $0.4 million, offset by a lump-sum payout
to the former Chief Executive Officer of approximately $1.3 million. General and
administrative expenses decreased slightly as a percentage of total revenues for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the same
periods in 2000, as a result of a larger percent decline in general and
administrative expenses as compared to the decline in revenues.

Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2001 were approximately $7.1 million and $16.5 million, or
39% of total revenues, respectively. For the comparable periods in 2000,
depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately $10.8 million and
$33.5 million, or 53% and 58% of total revenues, respectively. The dollar
decrease between 2000 and 2001 was primarily attributable to a reduction in
amortization expense resulting from the impairment of goodwill recorded in the
third quarter of 2000, relating to the acquisitions of OnLine Psychological
Services, Inc. and Code Stone Technologies, Inc., Lamaze Publishing and Family
Point Inc., offset partially by goodwill amortization associated with our
Women.com acquisition in the second quarter of 2001.

Interest Income, Net

         Interest income, net includes interest income from our cash balances.
Interest income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was
approximately $0.6 million and $2.0 million, or 3% and 5% of total revenues,
respectively. For the comparable periods in 2000, interest income, net was
approximately $1.3 million and $4.2 million, or 7% of total revenues,
respectively. The dollar decrease between 2000 and 2001 was due to lower average
net cash and cash equivalents balances and lower interest rates in 2001 than in
2000.

Recent Events

         On October 1, 2001, we purchased, off market, approximately one million
shares of our common stock from Capital Guardian, and our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and certain other company officers and directors purchased in
aggregate approximately 750,000 additional shares from Capital Guardian, all at
a market discount. The cost of the buyback to us was approximately $0.4 million.


                                       17
<PAGE>

         On October 17, 2001, we amended our lease located at 500-512 Seventh
Avenue, terminating obligations under the lease regarding 21,111 square feet of
the leased premises. The amended lease reduces our yearly financial commitment
by approximately $0.9 million and approximately $13.5 million over the remaining
life of the lease. The financial commitment for rent at this office space is
approximately $3.7 million for the next twelve months. Additionally, the lease
amendment reduces the amount to be reimbursed by the landlord for certain
construction expenses from approximately $5.3 million to $5.1 million. In
consideration of the early termination of part of the leased space, we incurred
fees of approximately $1.3 million. Concurrently, with the signing of this lease
amendment, the letter of credit securing the real estate lease, which is
classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, was
reduced to approximately $8.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of September 30, 2001, we had approximately $34.4 million in cash
and cash equivalents and approximately $9.3 million of restricted cash. Cash
equivalents include money market accounts. The restricted cash includes money
held for a letter of credit securing a real estate lease for our office space.
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial
institutions.

         We have sustained net losses and negative cash flows from operations
since our inception. Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary course
of business is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations
and/or raise additional financing through public or private equity financings,
collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or other sources of
financing to fund operations. However, there is no assurance that we will
achieve profitable operations or that we will be able to raise adequate
financing from other sources. Management believes that our current funds will be
sufficient to enable us to meet our planned expenditures through the next twelve
months. If anticipated operating results are not achieved, management has the
intent and believes it has the ability to delay or reduce expenditures so as not
to require additional financial resources, if those resources were not available
on terms acceptable to us.

         Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations
increased to approximately $18.7 million and $40.6 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, from approximately $2.8
million and $33.4 million for the comparable periods in 2000, respectively. The
overall increase in net cash used in operating activities from continuing
operations resulted primarily from an increase in moneys spent for accounts
payable and accrued expenses of approximately $23.9 million stemming mostly from
liablilities incurred and/or assumed in the Women.com acquisition, offset by a
decrease in losses from continuing operations, less adjustments, of
approximately $2.4 million and an increase in restricted cash and other assets
and accounts receivable of approximately $12.4 million and $2.0 million,
respectively. The decreased loss from continuing operations was primarily due to
the decrease in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses
resulting from our expense reduction initiatives and a reduction in amortization
expense resulting from the impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of
2000, offset by lower revenues in 2001.

         Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was
approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and
cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was
approximately $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This
compares to cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of
approximately $7.7 million and $14.0 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The overall increase in cash provided by investing
activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 to the comparable period in 2000 was primarily from the acquisition of
Women.com in the second quarter 2001 resulting in net cash acquired of
approximately $11.0 million and lower fixed asset purchases of approximately
$8.3 million.


                                       18
<PAGE>

         Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations
amounted to approximately $0.6 million and $22.2 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to approximately $1.3
million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively. The overall increase in cash provided by financing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to the comparable period in 2000 was
primarily attributable to the purchase of shares of common stock and warrants
for $20.0 million by Hearst and other former Women.com stockholders, offset
slightly by the costs associated with the issuance of stock and warrants for the
Women.com acquisition and rights offering of approximately $1.1 million.

         As of September 28, 1999, we entered into a financial advisory
agreement with Allen & Company Incorporated pursuant to which Allen & Company
acted as our financial advisor with respect to various matters from time to
time. In February 2000, we executed an amendment to the agreement that extended
its term to September 28, 2000 and set forth additional fees payable to Allen &
Company for up to twelve months after expiration of the agreement upon the
occurrence of certain events. During July 2001, we paid Allen & Company a fee of
approximately $2.0 million in connection with their services related to the
Women.com acquisition.

         In March 2000, we entered into a fifteen-year lease for approximately
105,000 square feet at 500-512 Seventh Avenue in which we have consolidated our
New York City operations. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, we received
approximately $3.8 million in January 2001 and approximately $0.5 million in
April 2001 and anticipate receiving an additional approximately $1.0 million for
reimbursement of certain construction expenses. In October 2001, we amended our
lease by terminating a portion of the premises (See Recent Events).

         In February 2001, we further amended our November 1998 agreement with
NBC to provide for an extension of time during which we must purchase our
advertising or promotional spots on the NBC network. The revised terms require
us to purchase approximately $11.6 million of advertising or promotional spots
between January 30, 2001 and December 31, 2002, with approximately $3.0 million
of advertising or promotional spots being telecast during the year 2001, of
which approximately $1.5 million and $0.1 million was telecast during the second
and third quarters of 2001, respectively, and approximately $8.6 million during
the year 2002. As of September 30, 2001, included in the caption other current
assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet is $5.4 million paid to NBC
during the first nine months of 2001 for advertising or promotional spots to be
televised during the years 2001 and 2002.

         In March 2001, we purchased 30.1% of Cooperative Beauty Ventures,
L.L.C. d/b/a Substance.com (the "venture") from Unilever for $1.5 million
increasing our ownership to 80.1%. The agreement revised our funding obligation
and provides that we will fund the ongoing business and operations of the
venture, but not to exceed $7.0 million, and terminates Unilever's funding
obligation. As of September 30, 2001, we have contributed approximately $1.9
million to the venture.

         Unilever can exercise a "put" option to require us to purchase
Unilever's remaining ownership interest for fair market value in the venture at
any time after September 30, 2002, or at any time earlier if the venture permits
any person to use the "Substance" mark other than in connection with the
venture's business or the venture fails to use the "Substance" mark in
connection with its business from and after May 1, 2001. At any time on or after
September 30, 2002, we can exercise a "call" option to require Unilever to sell
its remaining interest in the venture to us for fair market value; provided that
Unilever can exercise a "call" option superior to our "call" option to purchase
a portion of our membership interest in the venture for fair market value, up to
a limit of 50% of the ownership of the venture. In addition, at any time on or
after September 30, 2002, Unilever can exercise a "call" option to purchase a
portion of our

                                       19
<PAGE>

membership interest in the venture for fair market value, up to a limit of 50%
of the ownership of the venture. As a result of the purchase transaction
described above, we gained operational control of the venture and the venture
was consolidated within our financial statements beginning in March 2001.

         In addition, we amended our February 2000 advertising agreement with
Unilever. The amendment increased Unilever's advertising purchase commitment to
$14.5 million from $12.0 million. Through September 30, 2001, we have earned
approximately $8.7 million under the advertising agreement and approximately
$5.8 million of the advertising purchase commitment remains from October 1, 2001
through March 31, 2003.

         In April 2001, we amended our previous agreement with Candice
Carpenter, our former chief executive officer, to provide that Ms. Carpenter
would resign as a member of our board of directors but would remain our employee
available for special projects at the request of our Chief Executive Officer and
board of directors through December 31, 2002. Ms. Carpenter received a one-time
lump sum cash payment of $1,327,900 (less an interest payment of $27,900 on her
promissory note to us) in lieu of the salary, bonus and other payments set forth
in her October 2000 agreement with us and will receive a monthly salary of
$3,100 in 2001 and $2,325 in 2002 (each less set-offs for future interest
payments on her promissory note). Our obligation to pay Ms. Carpenter salary
terminates on December 31, 2002. The amendment also provided that Ms. Carpenter
would surrender 333,334 iVillage stock options with an exercise price of $24.00
and 75,000 iVillage stock options with an exercise price of $17.17 to us.

         On June 18, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Women.com
Networks, Inc., the operator of a leading women's online destination. The
aggregate purchase price paid was approximately $30.1 million consisting of
approximately $0.2 million in cash and 15,519,838 shares of our common stock.
The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the acquired net
assets of Women.com of approximately $28.8 million has been allocated on a
preliminary basis to goodwill and is being amortized over the period of expected
benefit, which is estimated to be three years. We are in the process of
obtaining a purchase price allocation.

         On June 18, 2001, Hearst purchased 9,171,343 shares of our common stock
and a warrant to purchase 2,065,695 shares of our common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $19.7 million pursuant to an amended and
restated securities purchase agreement.

         Pursuant to a rights offering to each former Women.com stockholder as
of April 16, 2001, other than Hearst, subsequent to June 15, 2001, the day the
rights offering was completed, we issued 152,657 shares of our common stock and
warrants to purchase an additional 34,305 shares of our common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.3 million.

         Pursuant to an amended and restated magazine content license and
hosting agreement with Hearst, Hearst has committed to purchase from us between
$15.0 and $21.0 million of production and advertising services over a three-year
period. This agreement also provides for revenue sharing between Hearst and us
with respect to advertising revenues obtained by us from the Hearst magazine Web
sites and our other Web sites containing substantial Hearst content. This
revenue sharing arrangement requires that we pay Hearst a royalty payment, based
on net advertising revenues, of at least $3.9 million during the three-year term
of the agreement. This amount would be reduced on a pro rata basis if Hearst
failed to expend a minimum of $5.0 million in production fees in the second and
third years of the agreement.

         On July 16, 2001, we acquired control of PAG, operator of BWN, for a
purchase price of approximately $0.6 million. The difference between the
purchase price and the fair value of the acquired net assets of PAG and BWN of
approximately $1.9 million has been allocated on a preliminary basis to
goodwill. We are in the process of obtaining a purchase price allocation.


                                       20

         In September 2001, we surrendered the New York office space assumed in
the Women.com acquisition back to the landlord. The lease had a remaining
financial commitment of $11.1 million and expired in December 2009. In
consideration of the termination of the lease, we forfeited our right to the
security deposit securing the lease, approximately $1.4 million, to the
landlord.

         On September 15, 2001, our Lamaze Publishing subsidiary amended their
lease located at 9 Old Kings Highway, Connecticut, terminating obligations under
the lease regarding 3,319 square feet of its leased premises. The amended lease
reduces our yearly financial commitment by approximately $0.1 million and
approximately $0.4 million over the remaining life of the lease. In
consideration of the early termination of part of the leased space, we incurred
fees of approximately $0.1 million.

         On September 20, 2001, we announced our intention to acquire, in open
market transactions, up to 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, subject to and
in compliance with the provisions and limitations of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange
Act. Purchases were made several times during September 2001 at prevailing
market prices. The source of funds for the purchase of the shares was our
general corporate funds, and all shares purchased are held in treasury. During
September 2001, we bought back 167,859 shares at a cumulative cost of
$129,313(See also Recent Events).


         Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including:

            o  market acceptance of our services;

            o  the amount of resources we devote to investments in our network,
               including entering into joint ventures with and/or the
               acquisition of other entities;

            o  the resources we devote to marketing; and

            o  the resources we devote to selling our services and brand
               promotions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 2001, the FASB approved two new pronouncements: SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations with a closing date
after June 30, 2001. This Statement eliminates the pooling-of-interests method
of accounting and further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible
assets separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review
for impairment. Identifiable intangible assets with a determinable useful life
will continue to be amortized. The amortization provisions apply to goodwill and
other intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. Goodwill and other
intangible assets acquired prior to June 30, 2001 will be affected upon
adoption. The adoption will require us to cease amortization of our remaining
net goodwill balance and to perform an impairment test of our existing goodwill
based on a fair value concept. We are still reviewing the provisions of these
statements, which must be adopted by us on January 1, 2002. As of September 30,
2001, we had net unamortized goodwill of approximately $42.6 million.

         In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144
becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are
currently

                                       21

evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 144
will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Risk Factors That May Affect Results of Operations and Financial Condition

In integrating the business of Women.com, we have and will continue to incur
significant costs which may harm our business.

         We have and expect to continue to incur costs and commit significant
management time integrating Women.com's operations, technology, Web sites,
products, customers and personnel. These costs may be substantial and may
include costs for:

            o  integration of operations, including combining teams and
               processes in various functional areas;

            o  reorganization or closure of operations and/or facilities,
               including the cost of office space that we are unable to
               sublease;

            o  integration of technology, Web sites and products;

            o  fees and expenses of professionals and consultants involved in
               completing the integration process; and

            o  potential existing liabilities of Women.com.

         Successful integration of Women.com's operations, technology, Web
sites, products, customers and personnel will place a significant burden on our
management and internal resources. The diversion of the attention of management
and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could
have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition and
operating results.

If we do not successfully integrate the business and operations of Women.com,
our financial results and our ability to achieve profitability will be adversely
affected.

         Upon the closing of the merger, we commenced the integration of
Women.com's operations, technology, Web sites, products, customers and
personnel. We have strived to maintain the companies' relationships with key
customers and joint venturers. Integration efforts may be difficult and
unpredictable because of possible cultural conflicts and different opinions on
strategic plans, personnel and other decisions. Integration may be made more
difficult because our operations are centered in New York while Women.com's
operations were centered in California. We do not know whether we will be
successful in these integration efforts and we cannot assure you that we will be
able to integrate the business and operations of Women.com in a timely and
efficient manner. If we cannot successfully integrate Women.com's operations,
technology, Web sites, products, customers and personnel and maintain our and
Women.com's relationships with key customers and joint venturers, our business,
financial condition and results of operations may be seriously harmed.

The market price of our common stock may decline if we do not successfully
integrate the business and operations of Women.com.

         The market price of our common stock may decline if:

            o  the integration of the business and operations of Women.com is
               unsuccessful or takes longer than anticipated;

                                       22
<PAGE>

            o  the effect of the merger on our financial results is not
               consistent with the expectations of securities analysts or
               investors;

            o  we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the merger as rapidly
               as, or to the extent, anticipated by securities analysts or
               investors; or

            o  following the merger, our significant stockholders decide to
               dispose of their shares because the results of the merger are not
               consistent with their expectations.

As of October 31, 2001, Hearst owns approximately 30.2% of the outstanding
shares of our common stock and has three representatives on our board of
directors, and therefore Hearst will be able to significantly influence our
corporate direction and policies.

         As of October 31, 2001, Hearst owns approximately 30.2% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. This assumption assumes that all of the
shares of Women.com held by former Women.com stockholders have been exchanged
for shares of our common stock and accordingly there are 53,342,334 shares of
our common stock outstanding. In addition, Hearst holds a warrant entitling it
to purchase 2,065,695 shares of our common stock.

         Pursuant to an amended and restated stockholder agreement entered into
between Hearst and us, on June 20, 2001 we appointed three representatives of
Hearst to our board of directors, with one Hearst designee appointed to each
class of director. The amended and restated stockholder agreement provides that
the number of Hearst's representatives is subject to reduction if Hearst's
ownership of our common stock falls below certain threshold levels. There is
also a Hearst representative on each of our nominating and compensation
committees.

         Hearst's board representation and stock ownership will allow Hearst to
significantly influence our corporate direction and policies, including any
mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, strategic relationships or sales of
assets. This board representation and stock ownership may also discourage or
prevent transactions involving an actual or potential change of control,
including transactions in which our stockholders would otherwise receive a
premium for their shares. In addition, the interests of Hearst, which owns or
has significant investments in other businesses, including cable television
networks, newspapers, magazines and electronic media, may from time to time be
competitive with, or otherwise diverge from, our interests, particularly with
respect to new business opportunities and future acquisitions.

         Although Hearst is required to vote all shares that it holds in excess
of 25% (subject to adjustment) of our voting securities in accordance with the
recommendation of our board of directors, Hearst may effectively control certain
stockholder actions, including approving changes to our certificate of
incorporation or bylaws and adopting or changing equity incentive plans.
Hearst's effective control over stockholder actions may also determine the
outcome of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our
assets or other form of change of control that we might consider.

We may face difficulties encountered in the new and rapidly evolving markets in
which we operate.

         We face many of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered in
new and rapidly evolving markets, including the Internet advertising market. The
risks and difficulties faced by us include our ability to:

            o  attract a larger audience to the iVillage network of Web sites;

            o  increase awareness of our brand;

            o  strengthen user loyalty;

                                       23
<PAGE>

            o  offer compelling content;

            o  maintain current, and develop new, strategic relationships;

            o  attract a large number of advertisers from a variety of
               industries;

            o  respond effectively to competitive pressures;

            o  continue to develop and upgrade our technology; and

            o  attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

We have not achieved profitability and have recent and anticipated continuing
losses.

         We have not achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur
operating losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses attributable
to common stockholders of approximately $38.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, $191.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and
$116.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. As of September 30, 2001,
our accumulated deficit was approximately $423.0 million. We expect to continue
to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and, as a result, we
will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain
profitability.

         There can be no assurance that we will achieve sufficient revenues for
profitability, and even if we do achieve profitability, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to sustain or increase profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis. If revenues grow slower than we anticipate, or if
operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly,
our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially
and adversely affected. Because our strategy includes acquisitions of and joint
ventures with other businesses, acquisition and joint venture expenses and any
cash used to make these acquisitions and joint ventures will reduce our
available cash.

Our quarterly revenues and operating results are not indicative of future
performance, are difficult to forecast and have been and are likely to continue
to fluctuate.

         We do not believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating
results are necessarily meaningful nor should they be relied upon as reliable
indicators of future performance, thus making it difficult to forecast quarterly
revenues and results of operations. In addition, our operating results are
likely to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of several
factors, many of which are outside our control, and any of which could
materially harm our business. These factors include:

            o  fluctuations in the demand for Internet advertising or electronic
               commerce;

            o  bankruptcies or other payment defaults of Internet or other
               companies which are a source of advertising revenues;

            o  changes in the level of traffic on our network; and

            o  fluctuations in marketing expense and technology infrastructure
               costs.

         Our revenues for the foreseeable future will remain dependent on user
traffic levels and advertising activity on our Web sites. Future revenues are
difficult to forecast. We plan to expand and develop content, and to upgrade and
enhance our technology and infrastructure development in order to support our
growth. We may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any
unexpected reduction in revenues in a particular quarter, which may materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.


                                       24
<PAGE>

         In one or more future quarters, our results of operations may fall
below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If our results of
operations fall below expectations, the trading price of our common stock would
likely be materially adversely affected. In addition, if our revenues in any
particular quarter are lower than anticipated, we may be unable to reduce
spending in that quarter. If we have a shortfall in revenues in relation to our
expenses, then our business, results of operations and financial condition would
be materially and adversely affected.

We may need to raise additional capital, and our prospects for obtaining
additional financing are uncertain.

         We currently anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents
will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital expenditures and working
capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, the amount of
cash and cash equivalents that we will need in the future cannot be accurately
predicted and depends on many factors, including the amount of revenues received
and expenses incurred in connection with the operation of our business including
the costs of integrating the operations of Women.com. Accordingly, we may need
to raise additional funds in the near future to fund our operations. There can
be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us on acceptable
terms, or at all. In particular, unless the market price of our common stock
increases dramatically, it is unlikely that we will be able to raise funds
through a public offering of our common stock. If adequate funds are not
available or are not available on acceptable terms, we would have to scale back
our business and our business and financial condition would be harmed, or we may
be forced to cease operations entirely.

Our business will be harmed if Internet usage does not continue to grow.

         Our market is new and rapidly evolving. Our business would be adversely
affected if Internet usage does not continue to grow, particularly usage by
women. A number of factors may inhibit Internet usage, including:

            o  inadequate network infrastructure;

            o  security concerns;

            o  inconsistent quality of service;

            o  lack of availability of cost-effective, high-speed service;

            o  consumers returning to traditional or alternative sources for
               information, shopping and services; and

            o  privacy concerns, including those related to the ability of Web
               sites to gather information about users without their knowledge
               or consent.

         If Internet usage continues to grow significantly, the Internet
infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed on it by this
growth and its performance and reliability may decline. In addition, Web sites
have experienced interruptions in their services as a result of outages and
other delays occurring throughout the Internet network infrastructure. If these
outages and delays frequently occur in the future, Internet usage, including the
usage of our Web sites, could grow more slowly or decline.


                                       25

The market for Internet advertising is still developing. If the Internet fails
to gain further acceptance as a medium for advertising, we would have slower
revenue growth than expected and would incur greater than expected losses.

         We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues
from sponsorships and advertising for the foreseeable future, as demand and
market acceptance for Internet advertising continues to develop. Accordingly,
our business depends on market acceptance of the Internet as a medium for
advertising.

         Although, there are currently several standards for the measurement of
the effectiveness of Internet advertising, the industry has had difficulty
convincing potential advertisers that Internet advertising is a significant
advertising medium. Advertisers and advertising agencies that have historically
relied on traditional forms of advertising may be reluctant or slow to adopt
online advertising. In addition, advertisers and advertising agencies that use
the Internet as an advertising medium may find online advertising to be less
effective for promoting their products and services than traditional advertising
media, including television, radio and print. Advertisers and advertising
agencies that have invested substantial resources in traditional methods of
advertising may also be reluctant to reallocate their resources to online
advertising. Moreover, software programs that limit or prevent advertising from
being delivered to an Internet user's computer are available. Widespread
adoption of this software could adversely affect the commercial viability of
Internet advertising. The market for online advertising also depends on the
overall growth and acceptance of electronic commerce. If the markets for online
advertising and electronic commerce fail to develop or develop more slowly than
we expect, or if we are unable to adapt to new forms of Internet advertising, we
would have slower than expected revenue growth and would incur greater than
expected losses, and our business and financial condition would be harmed.

         Furthermore, different pricing models are used to sell advertising on
the Internet and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the models will
emerge as the industry standard. This makes it difficult to project our future
advertising rates and revenues.

We have a small number of advertisers and the loss of a number of these
advertisers could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.

         We depend on a limited number of advertisers for a significant portion
of our revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and the year
ended December 31, 2000, revenues from our five largest advertisers accounted
for approximately 34% and 23% of our total revenues, respectively. Unilever
accounted for approximately 14% of our total revenues for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, and Hearst accounted for approximately 11% of
our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001. No one
advertiser accounted for greater than 10% of our total revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2000. At September 30, 2001, Procter and Gamble and Unilever
accounted for approximately 22% and 20% of the net accounts receivable,
respectively, and at December 31, 2000, Ford Motor Media accounted for
approximately 11% of the net accounts receivable. We anticipate that our results
of operations in any given period will continue to depend to a significant
extent upon revenues from a small number of advertisers. In addition, our
largest advertisers have in the past varied over time, and we anticipate that
they will continue to do so in the future.

         Consequently, the loss of even a small number of our largest
advertisers at any one time may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations, unless we are able to enter into a
sufficient number of new comparable contracts.


                                       26

We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in our industry.

         Our market is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent
new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. The
recent growth of the Internet and intense competition in our industry exacerbate
these market characteristics. To achieve our goals, we need to effectively
integrate the various software programs and tools required to enhance and
improve our product offerings and manage our business. Our future success will
depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually
improving the performance features and reliability of our services. We may
experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development,
introduction or marketing of new products and services. In addition, our new
enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective users and
must achieve significant market acceptance. We also could incur substantial
costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructures to adapt to these
changes.

Seasonal and cyclical patterns may adversely affect our business.

         We believe that advertising sales in traditional media, such as
television and radio, generally are lower in the first and third calendar
quarters of each year. If our market makes the transition from an emerging to a
more developed market, seasonal and cyclical patterns may develop also in our
market, which, if similar to those in traditional media, may result in lower
advertising revenues in the first and third calendar quarters of each year. In
addition, traffic levels on our Web sites typically fluctuate during the summer
and year-end vacation and holiday periods.

         These seasonal and cyclical patterns may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Our uncertain sales cycles could adversely affect our business.

         The time between the date of initial contact with a potential
advertiser or sponsor and the execution of a contract with the advertiser or
sponsor is often lengthy, typically six weeks for smaller agreements and longer
for larger agreements, and is subject to delays over which we have little or no
control, including:

            o  advertisers' and sponsors' budgetary constraints;

            o  advertisers' and sponsors' internal acceptance reviews;

            o  the success and continued internal support of advertisers' and
               sponsors' own development efforts; and

            o  the possibility of cancellation or delay of projects by
               advertisers or sponsors.

         During the sales cycle, we may expend substantial funds and management
resources and yet not obtain sponsorship or advertising revenues. Accordingly,
our results of operations for a particular period may be adversely affected if
sales to advertisers or sponsors forecasted in a particular period are delayed
or do not otherwise occur.


                                       27

We rely on third parties to adequately measure the demographics of our user base
and delivery of advertisements on our Web sites. Our business would be harmed if
these third parties fail to provide this service to us.

         It is important to our advertisers that we accurately measure the
demographics of our user base and the delivery of advertisements on our Web
sites. We depend on third parties to provide many of these measurement services.
If these third parties are unable or unwilling to provide these services to us
in the future, we would need to perform them ourselves or obtain them from
another provider. This could cause us to incur additional costs or cause
interruptions in our business until we replace these services. Companies may
choose to not advertise on our Web sites or may pay less for advertising if they
perceive our demographic measurements are not reliable. Either of these events
would adversely affect our business.

We rely on third parties to drive traffic to our Web sites and generate page
views, and our business and financial condition would be harmed if these third
parties were to no longer provide this service.

         AOL has accounted for a significant portion of our online traffic based
on the delivery to us of a guaranteed number of impressions. Although it is
difficult to accurately measure, we believe that AOL accounts for in excess of
15% of our online traffic. Our agreements with AOL do not prohibit AOL from
carrying online sites or developing and providing content that compete with our
Web sites, and AOL currently carries competing Web sites. Our agreements with
AOL expire at varying times over the next nine months. See also "AOL Time
Warner's investments in our competitors may result in conflicts of interest for
AOL Time Warner that could be adverse to us" below.

         If AOL discontinues carrying our channels, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to deliver various services if third parties fail to provide
reliable software, systems and related services to us.

         We are dependent on various third parties for software, systems and
related services. For example, we rely on Doubleclick Inc.'s software for the
placement of advertisements, Trellix Corporation for personal space home pages
and Critical Path Inc. for e-mail. Several of the third parties which provide
software and services to us have a limited operating history, have relatively
immature technology and are themselves dependent on reliable delivery of
services from others. As a result, our ability to deliver various services to
our users may be adversely affected by the failure of these third parties to
provide reliable software, systems and related services to us.

AOL Time Warner's investments in our competitors may result in conflicts of
interest for AOL Time Warner that could be adverse to us.

         AOL Time Warner, which has accounted for a significant portion of our
online traffic, has invested in Oxygen Media, an Internet and television company
that is developing cable and interactive content for women and children. In
addition, Oxygen Media has acquired from AOL Time Warner the assets of
electra.com, an online women's network, and Thrive Partners LLC, the operator of
thriveonline.com, a health Web site, and entered into a television distribution
agreement with AOL Time Warner. Prior to the merger, AOL Time Warner owned
approximately 8.4% of our outstanding common stock. Currently, AOL Time Warner
beneficially owns approximately 4.7% of our outstanding common stock. The
relationship between AOL Time Warner and Oxygen Media and the relationship
between AOL Time Warner and us may result in a conflict of interest for AOL Time
Warner, which could


                                       28
<PAGE>

adversely effect our relationship and our current negotiations of a new
agreement with AOL Time Warner or result in the diversion of attractive business
opportunities from AOL Time Warner to another entity other than us. Our other
principal investors, such as NBC, Rho Management Company, Inc. and Hearst, may
have similar conflicts of interests by virtue of their other investments. We are
unable to determine what other competing investments these principal investors
may have since none have publicly disclosed, or otherwise informed us, of the
scope or subject of their specific other Internet or media-related investments,
particularly since both Rho Management Company and Hearst are privately-held
companies. In addition, we do not have the ability to constrain the investment
activity of any of our principal investors and therefore cannot predict the
extent of any future investments in businesses that are competitive with us.

Restrictions on our ability to enter into sponsorship, advertising or other
business relationships with Hearst's competitors may adversely affect our
business.

         In connection with the merger, we assumed a magazine content license
and hosting agreement originally entered into between Women.com and Hearst. That
agreement restricts our ability to enter into relationships with competitors of
Hearst and those restrictions may prevent us from expanding our network and
enhancing our content and the visibility of our brand and may cause us to forego
potential advertising revenues from competitors of Hearst. Specifically, the
agreement provides that we may not, without Hearst's consent:

            o  enter into any agreement to include in our network any Web sites
               for magazines that compete with Hearst magazines;

            o  display on the magazine Web sites any advertising or other
               promotional materials from magazines that compete with Hearst
               magazines; or

            o  display on an iVillage Web page the brands, logos, trademarks or
               proprietary content of both Hearst and a Hearst competitor.

Our business could be affected by future terrorist attacks.

         Although neither the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in
September 2001 nor the recent bio-terrorist attacks on various organizations
have had a material adverse effect on our business, operations or financial
condition, there can be no assurance that future terrorist attacks in the United
States, and particularly in New York City where our headquarters are located, or
the response of the United States government to the recent or any future
terrorist actions, would not negatively affect us through further disruption of
the economy or financial markets, or otherwise. The proximity of our
headquarters to certain possible terrorist targets in New York City could also,
in the event of future terrorist attacks, result in damage or destruction to our
headquarters as well as the permanent or temporary loss of key personnel. We
have not yet fully developed a disaster recovery plan and there can be no
guarantee that our insurance coverage would adequately reimburse us for any
damages suffered as a result of a terrorist attack.

We may not be able to expand our business through acquisitions and joint
ventures if we are unable to compete successfully for acquisition candidates
and/or joint venture partners and, even if we are successful in this regard, our
operations may be adversely effected as a result of an acquisition or joint
venture.

         Our business strategy includes growth through business combinations,
acquisitions and joint ventures. Our business could be harmed if we are unable
to implement this business strategy. Our ability to implement this business
strategy depends in large part on our ability to compete successfully with other


                                       29
<PAGE>

entities for acquisition candidates and joint venture partners. Factors
impacting our ability to compete successfully in this regard include:

            o  our financial condition relative to the financial condition of
               our competitors; and

            o  the attractiveness of our common stock as potential consideration
               for entering into these types of transactions as compared to the
               common stock of other entities competing for these opportunities.

         Many of the entities with which we compete for acquisition candidates
and joint venture partners have greater financial resources than ours. In
addition, our acquisition program has been materially adversely affected by the
material decline in the market price of our common stock.

         If, despite these factors, we are successful in entering into
additional business combinations, acquisitions and joint ventures, our business,
results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected if we are unable to integrate the operations of the acquired companies
or joint ventures. Our ability to integrate the operation of the acquired
companies or joint ventures will depend, in part, on our ability to overcome or
address:

            o  the difficulties of assimilating the operations and personnel of
               the acquired companies or joint venture entities, and the
               potential disruption of our ongoing business as a result of these
               assimilation efforts;

            o  the difficulties of establishing a new joint venture, including
               the need to attract and retain qualified personnel and the need
               to attract customers and advertisers;

            o  the need to incorporate successfully the acquired or shared
               technology or content and rights into our products and media
               properties;

            o  the difficulties of maintaining uniform standards, controls,
               procedures and policies; and

            o  the potential impairment of relationships with employees and
               customers as a result of any integration of new management
               personnel or reduction of personnel.

         Acquisitions and joint ventures could also result in additional
expenses associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets and
potential liabilities associated with the acquired businesses or joint ventures.

There is intense competition among Internet-based businesses and publishing
companies focused on women and this competition could result in price
reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share.

         There are a large number of Web sites competing for the attention and
spending of members, users and advertisers. Our Web sites compete for members,
users and advertisers with the following types of companies:

            o  online services or Web sites targeted at women, such as
               Oxygen.com and condenet.com;

            o  cable networks targeting women, such as Oxygen Media, Inc. and
               Lifetime Television;


                                       30
<PAGE>

            o  Web search and retrieval and other online service companies,
               commonly referred to as portals, such as AOL, Terra Networks,
               S.A. and Yahoo! Inc.;

            o  e-commerce companies such as Amazon.com; and

            o  publishers and distributors of traditional media, such as
               television, radio and print.

         Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins
or loss of market share, any of which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

         Lamaze Publishing's magazines directly compete with publishers of pre-
and post-natal publications such as Gruner and Jahr, Primedia and AOL Time
Warner. These publishers have substantially greater marketing, research and
financial resources than Lamaze Publishing. Increased competition may result in
less advertising in Lamaze Publishing's magazines and a decline in Lamaze
Publishing's advertising rates, which could adversely affect its business,
results of operations and financial condition.

Our business would be harmed if our systems fail or experience a slowdown.

         Substantially all of our communications hardware and some of our other
computer hardware operations are located at Exodus Communications,
Inc.("Exodus")'s facilities in New Jersey and Verio, Inc.'s facilities in
California. Fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures,
break-ins and similar events could damage these systems. System failures may
adversely affect the company's user traffic, which could adversely affect its
revenues and operating results and harm its reputation with users, advertisers
and commerce partners. Computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar
disruptive problems, such as those historically experienced by several leading
Web sites, could also adversely affect our Web sites. Our insurance policies may
not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any failures
or interruptions in our systems. We do not presently have any secondary
"off-site" systems or a formal disaster recovery plan. In addition, Exodus has
recently filed for bankruptcy protection and there is no assurance that Exodus
will be able to continue to provide sufficient services for us or that we will
be able to engage a satisfactory alternative service provider.

         Our Web sites must accommodate a high volume of traffic and deliver
frequently updated information. Our Web sites have in the past experienced
slower response times or decreased traffic for a variety of reasons. These
occurrences have not had a material impact on our business. These types of
occurrences in the future could cause users to perceive our Web sites as not
functioning properly and therefore cause them to use another Web site or other
methods to obtain information.

         In addition, our users depend on Internet service providers, online
service providers and other Web site operators for access to our Web sites. Many
of them have experienced significant outages in the past, and could experience
outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our
systems.

We may incur liability for the information we publish or the products we have
sold.

         Our business and financial results could be materially and adversely
affected if we were to become liable for damage claims based on information
published by us or products sold by us. For example, we have been and may be
subject to claims for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark
infringement, personal injury or other legal theories relating to the
information we publish on our Web sites. These types of claims have been
brought, sometimes successfully, against providers of Internet services in the
past. In addition, we could be subjected to claims based upon the content that
is accessible

                                       31
<PAGE>

from our Web sites through links to other Web sites or through content and
materials that may be posted by members in chat rooms or bulletin boards.

         In addition, through iVillage.com, Women.com, Lamaze Publishing and
iVillage Integrated Properties, Inc., we distribute publications and broadcast
over our Web sites and The Newborn Channel information and advice regarding
healthcare, childbirth, infant care and financial and tax issues. We may be
exposed to liability claims in connection with this information.

         We also offer e-mail services through a third party vendor, which may
subject us to potential risks, such as liabilities or claims resulting from
unsolicited e-mail, lost or misdirected messages, illegal or fraudulent use of
e-mail or interruptions or delays in e-mail service.

         Consumers may also sue us if any of the products or services that we
sell are found to be defective, fail to perform properly or injure the user. We
may also face potential liability in connection with the sale of products and
services by our e-commerce partners.

         Our insurance, which covers commercial general liability, may not
adequately protect us against these claims. Liability claims could require us to
spend significant time and money in litigation and to pay significant damages.
As a result, liability claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage
our reputation and our business. We may also be forced to implement expensive
measures to alter the way our services are provided to avoid potential
liability.

Possible infringement by third parties of our intellectual property rights, or
claims of intellectual property infringement asserted against us, could harm our
business.

         We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken to protect our
intellectual property rights will be adequate or that third parties will not
infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights. Enforcing our intellectual
property rights could entail significant expense and could prove difficult or
impossible. Any infringement or misappropriation by third parties could have a
material adverse effect on our future financial results.

         Furthermore, we have invested resources in acquiring domain names for
existing and potential future use. We cannot guarantee that we will be entitled
to use these domain names under applicable trademark and similar laws or that
other desired domain names will be available.

         Although we believe that our technologies do not infringe upon the
intellectual property rights of others, third parties have and could assert
claims of patent, trademark or copyright infringement or misappropriation of
creative ideas or formats against us with respect to our use of domain names,
our content, Web page formats, Web business methods or any third-party content
we carry. We expect that participants in our markets will continue to be subject
to infringement claims. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time
consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management attention,
require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements or prevent us
from using important technologies, ideas or formats, any of which could
materially harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may face potential liability for our privacy practices.

         Growing public concern about privacy and the collection, distribution
and use of information about individuals may subject us to increased regulatory
scrutiny and/or litigation. If we are accused of violating the stated terms of
our privacy policy we may be forced to expend significant amounts of monetary
and human resources to defend against these accusations. We also may be required
to make

                                       32
<PAGE>

changes to our present and planned products or services. These consequences,
together with any resulting liability for our privacy practices, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

We may be liable if third parties misappropriate our users' personal
information.

         If third parties were able to penetrate our network security or
otherwise misappropriate our users' personal information or credit card
information, we could be subject to liability arising from claims related to,
among other things, unauthorized purchases with credit card information,
impersonation or other similar fraud claims or other misuse of personal
information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. In addition, the
Federal Trade Commission and state agencies have been investigating various
Internet companies regarding their use of personal information. We could incur
additional expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal information
are introduced or if our privacy practices are investigated.

Consumer protection privacy regulations could impair our ability to obtain
information about our users, resulting in decreased advertising revenues.

         If we become unable to collect personal data from a sufficient number
of the users of our network, we may lose significant advertising revenues. Our
network requests and obtains personal data from users who register to become
members of the network. Registration as a member is required in order for users
to have full access to the services offered by our network. Personal data
gathered from members is used to tailor content to them and is provided, on an
aggregate basis, to advertisers to assist them in targeting their advertising
campaigns to particular demographic groups. The attractiveness of our network to
current or prospective advertisers depends in part on our ability to provide
user data to support this tailoring capability. However, privacy concerns may
cause users to resist providing this personal data. Even the perception of
security and privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may indirectly inhibit
market acceptance of our use of personal data. In addition, legislative or
regulatory requirements may heighten these concerns if businesses must notify
Internet users that the data may be used by marketing entities to direct product
promotion and advertising to the user. Other countries and political entities,
such as the European Economic Community, have adopted legislation or regulations
containing these notification requirements.

         Our network also uses cookies to track user behavior and preferences. A
cookie is information keyed to a specific server, file pathway or directory
location that is stored on a user's hard drive, possibly without the user's
knowledge, but is generally removable by the user. Information gathered from
cookies are used by us to tailor content to users of our network and may also be
provided to advertisers on an aggregate basis. In addition, advertisers may
themselves use cookies to track user behavior and preferences. Germany has
imposed laws limiting the use of cookies, and a number of Internet commentators,
advocates and governmental bodies in the United States and other countries have
urged the passage of laws limiting or abolishing the use of cookies. If these
laws are passed, it may become more difficult for us to tailor content to our
users, making our network less attractive to users. Similarly, the
unavailability of cookies may restrict the use of tailored advertising, making
our network less attractive to advertisers and causing us to lose significant
advertising revenues.

Government regulation and legal uncertainties could add additional costs to
doing business on the Internet.

         There are currently few laws or regulations that specifically regulate
communications or commerce on the Internet. However, laws and regulations may be
adopted in the future that address issues such as user privacy, pricing and
taxation, content, copyrights, distribution, antitrust matters and the


                                       33
<PAGE>

characteristics and quality of products and services. Moreover, it may take
years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as
property ownership, obscenity, libel and personal privacy are applicable to the
Internet or the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose
laws do not currently apply to our business. Any new laws or regulations
relating to the Internet could adversely affect our business.

         Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that, although
our transmissions over the Internet originate primarily in New York, the
governments of other states and foreign countries might attempt to regulate our
business activities. In addition, because our service is available over the
Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, these jurisdictions may
require us to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each of these
states or foreign countries, which could subject us to taxes and other
regulations.

Our operation of Lamaze Publishing and The Newborn Channel poses a number of
risks that could materially adversely affect our business strategy.

         There are a number of risks in operating Lamaze Publishing and The
Newborn Channel, which are primarily non-Internet businesses, including:

            o  the competitiveness of the media and publishing industry;

            o  our limited experience in operating a multi-media publishing
               company;

            o  our ability to identify and predict trends in a timely manner
               that may impact consumer tastes in baby-related information in
               Lamaze Publishing's publications and our Newborn Channel;

            o  our ability to continue to sell advertising and sponsorships on
               our Web sites and in Lamaze Publishing's magazines, videos and
               Web site, and our Newborn Channel;

            o  our ability to continue to commercialize and protect the Lamaze
               mark; and

            o  our ability to maintain and market the Lamaze.com Web site.

         Our inability to perform the functions required for the operation of
Lamaze Publishing and The Newborn Channel in an efficient and timely manner
could result in a disruption of operations of Lamaze Publishing and The Newborn
Channel that could have a material adverse effect on our business strategy.

Satellite transmissions over The Newborn Channel may be interrupted.

         Through iVillage Integrated Properties, we operate The Newborn Channel,
a satellite television network broadcast in over 1,000 hospitals in the United
States. There is a risk that the satellite from which the transmission is sent
may malfunction, interrupting The Newborn Channel's broadcasts. In the event
this occurs, there may be a period of time before The Newborn Channel can
transmit to and from another satellite. Any interruption in our ability to
transmit The Newborn Channel could have an adverse impact on our business. In
addition, extreme adverse weather or third parties could damage receivers and
transmitters on the ground and hinder transmissions.

If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business would be materially
and adversely affected.

         Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued
services of our senior management and other key personnel, particularly, Douglas
W. McCormick, our Chief Executive Officer.


                                       34
<PAGE>


The loss of the services of Mr. McCormick would likely harm our business. We
currently do not maintain "key person" life insurance for any of our senior
management.

         We may be unable to retain our key employees or attract, assimilate or
retain other highly qualified employees in the future. We have from time to time
experienced, and we expect to continue to experience difficulty in hiring and
retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications as a result
of our relatively low stock price. As a result, we have in the past and may in
the future incur increased salaries and benefits. If we do not succeed in
attracting new personnel or retaining and motivating our current personnel, our
business will be adversely affected.

Several members of senior management have only recently joined us.

         Several members of our senior management joined us in 2000 and 2001 and
have not previously worked together. As a result, our senior managers are
continuing to become integrated as a management team and may not work together
effectively as a team to successfully manage our growth.
