                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items)
necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Preparing financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Women.com
Networks, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all fiscal quarters for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Women.com is assessing the potential impact of
this pronouncement on the financial statements. The company does not expect any
significant impact since Women.com does not currently have any derivative
instruments nor plans to acquire derivative instruments in the future.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 or SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which
provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements filed with the Commission. SAB 101 outlines the basic
criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for
disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. Women.com believes that the
impact of SAB 101 will not have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.

In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, ("FIN 44"), Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25.
This Interpretation clarifies (a) the definition of employee for purposes of
applying Opinion 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies
as a non-compensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d)
the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. This Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain
conclusions in this Interpretation cover specific events that occur after either
December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. To the extent that this Interpretation
covers events occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, or January
12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying
this Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000.
Women.com has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting this
Interpretation.

Net loss per share

Women.com computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
per Share." Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the
period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the
period by the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent
shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of
common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon
conversion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, are included
in the diluted net loss per share to the extent such shares are dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per
share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Comprehensive income

To date, Women.com has not had any transactions that are required to be reported
as comprehensive income, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 130
"Reporting Comprehensive Income".

Investment

Women.com acquired 1,142,857 shares of Series H preferred stock of Medical Self
Care, Inc. for approximately $4.0 million in cash on February 2, 2000. This
investment has been accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

Acquisition

On February 14, 2000, Women.com acquired EZSharing.com, Inc. for consideration
of $2.0 million in cash and 715,213 shares of common stock. The common stock was
valued at approximately $9.2 million dollars in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB 16"). This acquisition has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price of $11.2
million has been allocated to the intangible asset (assembled workforce)
acquired and is being amortized over its estimated useful economic life of 3
years.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 as if the
acquisition of EZSharing.com, Inc. had occurred on January 1, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, and after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments. These
pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not
purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the
acquisition actually taken place on January 1, 2000 or 1999, and may not be
indicative of future operating results (in thousands, except per share amounts):

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Women.com's
financial statements and the notes thereto.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Report") contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without
limitation, statements regarding Women.com's expectations, beliefs, intentions,
or future strategies that are signified by the words "expects", "anticipates",
"intends", "believes", or similar language. All forward-looking statements
included in this document are based on information available to Women.com on the
date hereof, and Women.com assumes no obligation to update any such
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating Women.com's business,
investors should carefully consider the information set forth below under the
caption "Risk Factors" in addition to the other information set forth herein.
Women.com cautions investors that its business and financial performance are
subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

Overview

Women.com is a leading Internet network dedicated to women, featuring
award-winning original content, personalized services, community and online
shopping. Women.com's network contains more than 100,000 pages of content
organized into 19 topical channels, and offers content from 11 of the world's
leading women's magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Prevention
and Redbook.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Women.com Networks was formed in October 1992 and introduced its current
Internet site, located at www.women.com, in 1995. In January 1999, Women.com
Networks and Hearst HomeArts, Inc., a subsidiary of The Hearst Corporation,
contributed their businesses to Women.com Networks LLC, which was jointly owned
by Women.com and HomeArts. In August 1999, Women.com and HomeArts merged and the
business previously conducted by Women.com Networks LLC was continued by
Women.com. The creation of Women.com Networks LLC was accounted for as an
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The operations of HomeArts
have been included in Women.com's operations since the formation of Women.com
Networks LLC on January 29, 1999.

Women.com has incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from
operations since its inception. As of March 31, 2000, Women.com had an
accumulated deficit of $98.5 million. Women.com intends to continue to make
significant financial investments in its business, including product, technology
and infrastructure development as well as personnel. As a result, Women.com
believes it will incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations for at least the next several years.

Substantially all of Women.com's revenues to date have been generated from
advertising and sponsorships. Advertising and sponsorship revenues represented
77% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 77% for the
three months ended March 31, 1999.

Advertising revenues consist primarily of sales of banner advertisements and
sponsorships. Advertising contracts are generally short-term, although several
long-term contracts and sponsorship agreements have been signed. Women.com
typically guarantees a minimum number of impressions or page views to be
delivered to users over a specified period of time for a fixed fee. Advertising
revenues are generally recognized ratably over the period in which the
advertising is displayed. To the extent that minimum guaranteed page deliveries
are not met, Women.com defers recognition of the corresponding revenues until
the guaranteed page deliveries are achieved.

Sponsorship revenues are derived from contracts that generally range from six to
24 months in length. Sponsorship agreements typically include the delivery of
impressions, market research, preferred status within relevant content areas and
the design and development of sites branded by both Women.com and the sponsor
intended to enhance the promotional objective of the sponsor. Women.com
recognizes sponsorship revenues as earned, which is generally ratably over the
contract period. To the extent that committed obligations under sponsorship
agreements are not met, revenue recognition is deferred until the obligations
are met.

Advertising revenues have historically included barter revenues, which represent
the exchange of advertising space on Women.com's network for reciprocal
advertising space on third party Web sites as well as other advertising and
promotional vehicles. Revenues from these barter transactions are recorded as
advertising revenues at the lower of estimated fair value of the advertisements
received or delivered and are recognized upon publication of the advertisements
on Women.com's network. Barter expenses are an equal and offsetting charge and
are recorded at the lower of estimated fair value of the advertisements received
or delivered and are recognized when Women.com's advertisements run on the
reciprocal media property, which is typically in the same period in which the
advertisements run on Women.com's network.

Production revenues are derived from contracts in which Women.com designs and
develops web sites for third parties for use on the Women.com network or their
own sites. Women.com recognizes production revenues as earned, which is
generally as services are performed over the contract period. To the extent that
committed obligations under production agreements are not met, revenue
recognition is deferred until the obligations are met.

E-commerce revenues consist of commissions from the sale of magazine
subscriptions, sales of services on Astronet and, to a lesser extent, payments
from affiliate sales programs. Women.com records a portion of the revenue from
each magazine subscription sold on the network magazine sites. Astronet
e-commerce revenues from services offered on its network include personalized
horoscope reports and readings. Affiliate program e-commerce revenues are
recognized upon notification from the affiliate. Although Women.com briefly
offered products for sale as part of the shopping channel, Women.com is not
currently engaged in direct retail.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues were $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a 321%
increase compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in revenues was
primarily due to Women.com's higher advertising and sponsorship revenues during
the first three months of 2000. Advertising and sponsorship revenues were $11.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a 318% increase over the
corresponding period in 1999. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000
also include $1.6 million of production and hosting fees related to the launch
of eharlequin.com in February.




                                       9
<PAGE>   10

There was no barter revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Barter
revenue represented 4% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1999.

Operating Expenses

The principal elements of Women.com's operating expenses consist of cost of
revenues, production, product and technology expenses, sales and marketing
expenses and administrative expenses.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues include payments for revenue sharing and gaming prizes. Cost of
revenues increased to $985,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from
$82,000 for the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to
obligations to fulfill gaming prizes acquired by Women.com related to the
acquisition of World Gaming Corporation in December 1999. Revenue sharing
payments also increased during the first three months of 2000 due to increased
traffic on the Hearst magazine sites and the launch of eharlequin.com in
February.

Production, product and technology expenses

Production, product and technology expenses consist primarily of personnel
related costs for technical operations, editorial and design activities and
content acquisition costs. Production, product and technology expenses increased
to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $3.8 million in
the same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased expenses
of approximately $3.7 million related to the hiring of additional personnel, as
well as increased content acquisition costs and other production costs
associated with growth in Women.com's business.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and
advertising, distribution and public relations expenses. Sales and marketing
expenses were $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an
increase of 72% over the same period of the prior year. During the three months
ended March 31, 2000 Women.com ran print campaigns in 7 magazines under its
agreement with Hearst. Although not a cash expenditure, a total of $1.0 million
for these print campaigns is included in sales and marketing expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. There were no such expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The remainder of the increase is due to a $1.6
million sponsorship of programming related to the Oscars on the E! television
network, costs of hiring additional personnel totaling $1.5 million and other
sales and marketing costs associated with growth in Women.com's business.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, legal
fees and accounting fees. General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of 33% over the same
period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in the provision for doubtful accounts and bad debt write-offs totaling
approximately $400,000.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of charges related to the difference between
employee stock option grant prices and deemed fair market values on the date of
grant amortized over the vesting period of the options. Women.com's stock-based
compensation expense was $171,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared with $612,000 for the same period in 1999. This decrease was due to
cancellations of stock options previously granted.

Amortization of acquired intangibles

Amortization of acquired intangibles consists of the amortization of goodwill
and intangible assets acquired. Women.com reported $7.0 million in amortization
of acquired intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$3.7 million for the same period in 1999. The amortization expense for the first
quarter of 2000 includes three months of goodwill amortization related to the
combination with HomeArts and Astronet (as compared to two months in 1999) as
well as amortization related to the acquisitions of World Gaming Corporation in
December 1999 and EZSharing.com, Inc. in February 2000.

Other income

Other income consists of interest income and other miscellaneous income. Other
income was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with
$176,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is primarily due to higher
cash balances as a result of both private and public sales of equity securities.

Interest expense

Interest expense historically consisted of interest charges related to equipment
leases and other company debt. Interest expense was $17,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. There was no interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2000.

Income taxes

No provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded as Women.com
incurred net losses through March 31, 2000. Women.com has taken a valuation
allowance on the full amount of the net operating loss carryforwards since it is
likely the benefit will not be realized in the future.

Women.com elected to be taxed as a partnership for the period beginning on
January 29, 1999, the date of formation of Women.com Networks LLC and ending on
the date of the merger of Women.com Networks and HomeArts in August 1999.
Federal and state tax effects of Women.com losses during this period were
recorded by the members of the LLC on their respective income tax returns.

Liquidity and capital resources

Until its initial public offering in October 1999, which raised net proceeds of
approximately $38.2 million including the exercise of the underwriter's
over-allotment option, Women.com financed its operations primarily through the
private placement of its convertible preferred stock. Management believes its
existing cash balances are sufficient to enable Women.com to meet its
obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $7.2 million in the first
quarter of 2000 from $7.7 million in the first quarter of 1999. This decrease
was primarily due to increased amortization of intangibles in the first quarter
of 2000, offset in part by increased operating losses.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $8.2 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to net cash generated from investing activities in the
first quarter of 1999 of $14.6 million. The increased investing spending was
attributable to increased purchases of property and equipment, an investment in
Medical Self Care, Inc., and the acquisition of EZSharing.com. Net cash provided
by investing activities in the first quarter of 1999 was related to the
combination with HomeArts and Astronet.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $143,000 in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $72,000 in the first quarter of 1999 due to
increased stock option exercises.

Women.com expects to increase staffing, make significant capital expenditures
and expand its sales and marketing programs.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all fiscal quarters for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Women.com is assessing the potential impact of
this pronouncement on the financial statements. The company does not expect any
significant impact since Women.com does not currently have any derivative
instruments nor plans to acquire derivative instruments in the future.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 or SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which
provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements filed with the Commission. SAB 101 outlines the basic
criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for
disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. Women.com believes that the
impact of SAB 101 will not have a material effect on its financial position or
results of operations.

In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, ("FIN 44"), Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25.
This Interpretation clarifies (a) the definition of employees for purposes of
applying Opinion 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies
as a non-compensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d)
the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. This Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain
conclusions in this Interpretation cover specific events that occur after either
December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. To the extent that this Interpretation
covers events occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, or January
12, 2000, but before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying
this Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000.
Women.com has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting this
Interpretation.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

You should carefully consider the risks described below in evaluating our
business. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional
risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
impair our business operations in the future.

Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock
could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.

OUR BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE OUR OPERATING HISTORY IS LIMITED
AND OUR BUSINESS MODEL IS UNPROVEN



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

Our historical financial information is of limited value in projecting our
future operating results because of our limited operating history as a combined
organization with the HomeArts and Astronet businesses and the emerging nature
of our market. We first recognized a small amount of subscription revenues in
January 1994 and advertising revenues in March 1996 and our revenues have become
significant only recently. It is difficult to evaluate our business and our
prospects because our revenue and income potential is unproven and our business
model is still emerging.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND WE ANTICIPATE INCREASED LOSSES IN THE
FUTURE

We have had operating losses since we were formed. We expect to incur
significant operating losses and negative cash flows for at least the next
several years. We may never achieve profitability. If we fail to achieve
profitability or sustain or increase profitability if we achieve it, our
financial condition would be materially harmed. As of March 31, 2000, we had an
accumulated deficit of $98.5 million. Successfully achieving our growth and
profitability plan depends on, among other things, our ability to significantly
increase our revenues and meet the other challenges set forth in the following
risk factors.

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY WHICH MAKES OUR FUTURE
OPERATING RESULTS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE AND MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE

Our operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue 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     changes in the level of traffic on our network

      o     fluctuations in marketing expenses and technology infrastructure
            costs

If our revenues in a particular quarter are lower than we anticipate, we may be
unable to reduce spending in that quarter. As a result, any shortfall in
revenues would likely adversely affect our quarterly operating results.
Specifically, in order to attract and retain a larger user base, we plan to
significantly increase our expenditures on sales and marketing, content
development, technology and infrastructure. Many of these expenditures are
planned or committed in advance and in anticipation of future revenues.

Due to the factors noted above and the other risks discussed in this section,
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not accurately
predict future performance. It is possible that in some future quarters our
results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts or
investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO GENERATE ADDITIONAL ADVERTISING REVENUES, WHICH ACCOUNT FOR
SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR REVENUES, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE MATERIALLY HARMED

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the sale of advertisements on
our network. If we fail to sell or deliver advertising, our revenues will be
significantly reduced. Market acceptance of Internet-based advertising is
uncertain and depends largely on advertisers' determinations that the Internet
is an effective medium for advertising. Most of our customers have limited
experience with the Internet as an advertising medium. Our ability to generate
significant advertising revenues depends upon several other factors, including:

      o     the development of a large, demographically attractive base of users
            on our network

      o     our ability to continue to develop and update effective advertising
            delivery and measurement systems

      o     our ability to maintain and increase our advertising rates given the
            growing number of outlets for advertisers on the Internet

IF WE LOSE ADVERTISING CUSTOMERS TO OUR COMPETITION OR REDUCE ADVERTISING RATES
TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE, OUR REVENUES WILL DECLINE SUBSTANTIALLY AND OUR BUSINESS
WILL BE MATERIALLY HARMED



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

Many internet content and service providers compete with us for advertisers,
e-commerce partners and Internet users, and there are few barriers to entry. We
expect this competition to increase. Many of our current and potential
competitors in the Internet market have significantly greater financial,
editorial, technical and marketing resources, longer operating histories,
greater name recognition and more established relationships with advertisers and
advertising agencies. These competitors may be able to undertake more extensive
marketing campaigns, adopt aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially
more resources to developing Internet content and services than we can.

THE HEARST CORPORATION CONTROLS ACTIONS REQUIRING BOARD AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL
WHICH WEAKENS THE EFFECT OF OTHER STOCKHOLDERS' VOTES

Hearst representatives currently fill five of the ten seats on our board of
directors. In addition, Hearst beneficially owns approximately 47% of our
outstanding common stock. On April 11, 2000, Hearst publicly disclosed that it
is considering acquiring up to one million additional shares of our common
stock. Given Hearst's share ownership, Hearst is able to elect additional
directors. Any action taken by our board requires the approval of at least six
directors. As a result, at least one Hearst representative must approve all
actions taken by our board, which could significantly influence our corporate
direction and policies, including any mergers, acquisitions, consolidations,
strategic relationships or sales of assets. Hearst's board representation and
stock ownership may discourage or prevent transactions involving an actual or
potential change of control, including transactions in which 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.

In addition to the ability to elect additional directors, Hearst has effective
control over all other stockholder actions, including approving changes to our
restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws and
adopting or changing equity incentive plans. Hearst's control over stockholder
actions will 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. In addition, Hearst is not subject to any restrictions on
acquiring additional shares of our common stock following this offering, and,
therefore, may increase its share ownership percentage by purchasing additional
shares of common stock in the public market.

HEARST'S LARGE OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE MAY LIMIT THE TRADING VOLUME OF OUR COMMON
STOCK AND INCREASE THE VOLATILITY OF OUR STOCK PRICE

Because Hearst controls such a significant percentage of our common stock,
trading in our common stock may be limited unless Hearst elects to sell some or
all of its shares. If Hearst elects to purchase additional shares in the future,
the market for our common stock will be even more limited. As a result of the
limited public float of our common stock, relatively small purchases or sales of
our stock may have a disproportionate effect on our market price. In addition,
if Hearst elects to sell some or all of its shares, the effect on our market
price could be negative.

WE RELY ON HEARST FOR CONTENT AND CROSS-PROMOTION AND LOSS OF THIS RELATIONSHIP
WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS

Information supplied by or developed from the Hearst magazines to which we have
online rights accounts for a significant portion of our network's content. If
our relationship with Hearst ends, we may not be able to enter into alternative
arrangements with third parties or to internally develop content and services to
replace the benefits we receive from our relationship with Hearst.

Our relationship with Hearst is governed by a magazine content license and
hosting agreement. While this agreement will continue to provide us with
benefits during its initial six-year term, we may not enjoy benefits from our
relationship with Hearst beyond the term of this agreement, including the
benefits we derive from Hearst's reputation, online content and
cross-promotional activities.

We depend on Hearst to effectively market and promote its 10 magazine sites. If
Hearst fails to do so, our brand identity could be negatively affected and our
business, financial condition and operating results would be materially harmed.
We also rely on Hearst to maintain the quality of its magazine content and to
maintain and expand its magazines' readership base. If the quality or
circulation of Hearst's magazines decline, the content of our network would
suffer and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be
materially harmed.



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

We may not be able to attract enough user traffic or advertisers to our network
to achieve profitability without Hearst's name or promotional capabilities. Even
with Hearst's support, we may never achieve profitability or sustain or increase
profitability if we achieve it.

HEARST'S RIGHT TO LICENSE ITS CONTENT TO OTHER PARTIES AND OUR RESTRICTIONS ON
LICENSING OTHER THIRD-PARTY CONTENT MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE OR
EXPAND OUR NETWORK

Hearst is permitted to license the content or trademarks of the 10 magazines to
any Internet site or portal that is not deemed to be our competitor. A
competitor is defined under the agreement to include any Internet site, channel,
area or online content aggregation service that provides content primarily for
women and is used primarily by women. Any content or trademark license by Hearst
to any third party could dilute the value of the Hearst magazine content to our
network. We agreed with Hearst not to enter into any agreements to produce or
include as part of our network any magazine site or content related to a print
publication other than the Hearst publications and the Prevention and New Woman
magazines without Hearst's approval. Our inability to create new relationships
with print publications could impair our ability to enhance the visibility of
our brand.

IF THE POPULARITY OF ASTRONET DECLINES OR WE ARE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MAINTAIN
ITS DISTRIBUTION, OUR PAGE VIEWS AND NUMBER OF USERS WOULD DECREASE AND OUR
BUSINESS COULD BE MATERIALLY HARMED

We rely on Astronet to generate a significant portion of our page views and
Astronet depends on America Online for traffic. In March 2000, approximately 27%
of our page views were generated by Astronet and, during the same period,
approximately 60% of Astronet's traffic was generated by America Online. If the
popularity of our Astronet site declines, or if America Online stops carrying
our Astronet site, our number of visitors and page views would decrease
significantly and our business could be materially harmed.

OUR PROMOTION OF THE WOMEN.COM BRAND MUST BE SUCCESSFUL IN ORDER FOR US TO
ATTRACT USERS AS WELL AS ADVERTISERS AND OTHER STRATEGIC PARTNERS

We believe that establishing and maintaining our brand is critical to our
success and that the importance of brand recognition will increase due to the
growing number of women-oriented Internet sites. Successful promotion and
marketing of our brand will depend on providing interesting and compelling
content, community, commerce and personalized services, and we intend to
increase our marketing and branding expenditures in our effort to increase our
brand awareness. If our brand building strategy is unsuccessful, these expenses
may never be recovered, we may be unable to increase our future revenues and our
business could be materially harmed.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DELIVER ORIGINAL AND COMPELLING INTERNET CONTENT, COMMUNITY,
SHOPPING AND PERSONALIZED SERVICES THAT ATTRACT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF USERS TO
OUR NETWORK, OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE MATERIALLY HARMED

Our current network or any additional channels or sites that we may add in the
future may not be attractive to a sufficient number of Internet users. We may
not be able to anticipate, monitor or successfully respond to rapidly changing
consumer tastes and preferences of women so as to attract enough users to our
network. If we are unable to develop Internet content, community, shopping and
personalized services that attract, retain and expand a loyal user base, we will
be unable to generate advertising revenues or commerce revenues and our
business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially
harmed.

IF WE FAIL TO RETAIN EXISTING BRANDING AND CONTENT RELATIONSHIPS OR FAIL TO
ATTRACT NEW ONES, THE AMOUNT AND QUALITY OF CONTENT ON OUR NETWORK MAY DECLINE,
TRAFFIC TO OUR NETWORK MAY DECREASE AND OUR ADVERTISING REVENUES MAY DECREASE

To be successful, we need to maintain our existing relationships and we must
establish similar relationships with new parties who have cross-media and
promotional capabilities. This is critical to our success because we believe
that these relationships will enable us to further enhance our brand awareness
and expand and broaden our reach to a wider variety of users.

With the exception of our Hearst relationship, our existing branding and content
alliances are short-term agreements. When these agreements terminate, we may not
be able to renew them on favorable terms or to obtain similar agreements with
other parties. Additionally, our competitors may enter into agreements with our
existing partners or other parties that are integral to our prospective content
and brand development.



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

WE MUST ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN ONLINE DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS TO GENERATE TRAFFIC
TO OUR NETWORK IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL

We depend on establishing and maintaining online distribution relationships with
high-traffic Internet sites and leading Internet portals to ensure the
visibility of our network and to generate additional traffic. Our business could
be materially harmed if we do not establish and maintain additional
relationships on commercially reasonable terms or if any of our relationships do
not result in increased network traffic and visibility. In March 2000, a
substantial portion of our network's traffic was generated by our distribution
relationships and, in particular, America Online. All of our distribution
relationships are based on short-term agreements. There is intense competition
for online distribution relationships among Internet sites. We may not be able
to enter into new or renewed relationships on commercially reasonable terms or
at all. In addition, our existing online distribution relationships or any
relationships that we enter into in the future may not generate enough
additional traffic to our network or create sufficient brand visibility to
justify the costs we incur for such relationships.

WE INTEND TO PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS AND OUR BUSINESS COULD BE MATERIALLY
HARMED IF WE FAIL TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES

We often evaluate acquisition opportunities that could provide us with
additional product or content offerings or additional industry expertise. Any
future acquisition could result in difficulties assimilating acquired operations
and products, diversion of management's attention away from other business
issues and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Specifically, we expect
that future transactions may involve the acquisition of early-stage Internet
content and technology companies. Integration of these companies may result in
problems related to integration of technology and inexperienced management
teams. Our management has had limited experience in assimilating acquired
organizations and products into our operations. We may not successfully
integrate any operations, personnel or products that we may acquire in the
future. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, our business would be
materially harmed.

GROWTH IN OUR OPERATION HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO STRAIN OUR RESOURCES AND OUR
FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS

We have recently experienced significant growth and are planning to further
expand our business and operations. If we are unable to successfully manage this
growth our business could be materially harmed. We have had a significant
increase in our number of employees during the last year. This growth places a
significant strain on our management and other resources. As part of this
growth, we expect to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures
and controls. Any problems in implementing these systems or controls could harm
our operations.

OUR SYSTEMS MAY FAIL OR BE INTERRUPTED AND THEREBY LIMIT OUR USER TRAFFIC AND
POTENTIALLY HARM OUR BUSINESS

If our network fails for any reason, even for only a short period of time, our
business and reputation would be materially harmed. We rely on third parties for
proper functioning of our computer infrastructure and delivery of our product.
Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power
loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, earthquake and similar events. In
May and June 1999, user access to our pregnancy channel was disrupted as a
result of a system failure. Although this disruption has been remedied, we may
encounter unforeseen difficulties in maintaining full access to this or other
channels on our network, and, therefore, there may be additional delays. This
failure and any additional failures may adversely affect our user traffic
results in our current or any future quarters, which could adversely affect our
revenues and operating results and harm our reputation with users, advertisers
and commerce partners.

A key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic to our
network. Accordingly, the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability
of our network and our computer infrastructure is critical to our reputation and
our ability to attract and retain users, advertisers, e-commerce partners and
members. We cannot accurately project the rate or timing of any increases in
traffic to our network and, therefore, the integration and timing of any
upgrades or enhancements required to facilitate any significant traffic increase
to our network are uncertain.



                                       15
<PAGE>   16

We also depend on the receipt of timely feeds and computer downloads from our
content providers, and any failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of
such feeds or downloads from our content providers, the public network or
otherwise, could disrupt our operations. We also use third party software to
manage and deliver advertisements by contract and to provide our advertisers
with performance data. The failure of these systems to function properly could
discourage advertisers from placing advertisements on our network or e-commerce
partners from selling their products on our network. Failure of these systems
could cause us to incur additional costs or cause interruptions in our business
during the time spent replacing these systems. Our network infrastructure may
not perform properly and may not provide advertisers or e-commerce partners with
accurate data. The failure to expand and upgrade our network or any system error
or failure could materially harm our business, reputation, financial condition
or results of operations.

IF USE OF THE INTERNET DOES NOT CONTINUE TO GROW, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE
MATERIALLY HARMED

Our market is new and rapidly evolving. Our business would be significantly
harmed if Internet usage does not continue to grow. Internet usage may not grow
for a number of reasons such as:

      o     security concerns

      o     inconsistent quality of service

      o     inadequate network infrastructure

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

      o     lack of cost-effective, high-speed connectivity

      o     the failure of the Internet as a viable commercial marketplace

THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS WILL DEPEND ON CONTINUED GROWTH IN INTERNET COMMERCE

The market for the purchase of products and services over the Internet is new
and emerging. Our future revenues and profits will depend in part upon the
widespread acceptance and the use of the Internet and other online services as a
medium for commerce by consumers and merchants. If acceptance and growth of the
Internet does not occur, our business and financial performance will materially
suffer. A sufficiently broad base of consumers may not adopt, or continue to
use, the Internet as a medium for commerce. Demand for and market acceptance of
recently introduced products and services over the Internet are subject to a
high level of uncertainty, and there are few proven products and services.

In addition, the ability to securely transmit confidential information is a
significant criterion for successful e-commerce. Any well-publicized compromise
of security could deter people from using the Internet or from using the
Internet for transactions that involve transmitting confidential information,
such as credit card numbers. Because many of our advertisers seek to advertise
on our network to encourage people to use the Internet to purchase goods or
services, the failure of the Internet as a medium for commerce would seriously
harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

WE CANNOT PREDICT TO WHAT EXTENT WE MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR OUR SERVICES AND USER
GENERATED CONTENT AND IF WE ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITY OUR BUSINESS
MAY BE MATERIALLY HARMED

We host a wide variety of information, community, communications and commerce
services that enable our users to exchange information, conduct business and
engage in various online activities. Claims could be made against us for
negligence, defamation, libel, copyright or trademark infringement, personal
injury or other legal claims based on the nature and content of information that
may be posted online by our users. The laws relating to the liability of
providers of these online services for the activities of their users are
currently unsettled. In addition, we could be exposed to liability with respect
to the selection of listings that may be accessible through our
Women.com-branded products and properties, or through content and materials that
may be posted by users on message boards or in clubs, chat rooms or other
interactive community-building services. It is also possible that if any
information provided through our services, such as financial information,
contains errors, third parties could make claims against us for losses incurred
in reliance on such information. We offer Internet-based e-mail services, which
expose 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




                                       16
<PAGE>   17

service. Investigating and defending such claims is expensive, even to the
extent these claims do not result in liability. Although we carry general
liability insurance, this insurance may not be available to cover a particular
claim or may be insufficient.

In addition, we could be exposed to liability arising from the activities of
users of our content or services or with respect to the unauthorized duplication
or insertion of illegal or inappropriate material accessed directly or
indirectly through our services. Several private lawsuits seeking to impose such
liability upon content providers, online services companies and Internet access
providers are currently pending. In addition, legislation currently imposes
liability for, and in some cases prohibits, the transmission over the Internet
of some types of information. This legislation or any similar future regulation
could expose us to significant liabilities associated with our content or
services. Our activities could be or become subject to various forms of
taxation, including but not limited to sales and use taxes, the imposition of
which could materially harm our business, financial condition or results of
operations.

The imposition of potential liability for our content or services could require
us to implement measures to reduce our exposure to such liability arising out of
the content or services we offer, which may require the expenditure of
substantial resources, or to discontinue some content or service offerings. The
increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of these lawsuits
and legislative proposals could affect the growth of Internet use. While we
carry general liability insurance, it may not be adequate to compensate us in
the event we become liable for our content or services. Any liability in excess
of our general liability insurance could materially harm our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

CONSUMER PROTECTION PRIVACY REGULATIONS COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN
INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USERS

Our network captures information regarding our registered members in order to
tailor content to them and assist advertisers in targeting their advertising
campaigns to particular demographic groups. However, privacy concerns may cause
users to resist providing the personal data necessary to support this tailoring
capability. Even the perception of security and privacy concerns, whether or not
valid, may indirectly inhibit market acceptance of our network. 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 such
legislation or regulatory requirements. The United States may adopt similar
legislation or regulatory requirements. If consumer privacy concerns are not
adequately addressed, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially harmed.

Our network currently uses cookies to track demographic information and user
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. 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 such
laws are passed, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be materially harmed.

WE MAY EXPEND SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
OR TO DEFEND CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES, AND IF WE ARE NOT
SUCCESSFUL WE MAY LOSE RIGHTS TO USE SIGNIFICANT MATERIAL OR BE REQUIRED TO PAY
SIGNIFICANT FEES

Our success depends on the protection of our original interactive content and on
the goodwill associated with our trademarks and other proprietary intellectual
property rights. A substantial amount of uncertainty exists concerning the
application of copyright and trademark laws to the Internet and other digital
media, and there can be no assurance that existing laws provide adequate
protection of our content or our Internet addresses, commonly referred to as
domain names. We have filed applications to register a number of our trademarks,
trade names and service marks, but registrations have only been granted in
selected cases, and we may not be able to secure additional registrations.

We have also invested resources in acquiring domain names for existing and
potential future use. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be entitled to
use such names under applicable trademarks and similar laws or that other
desired domain names will be available. Furthermore, enforcing our intellectual
property rights could entail significant expense and could prove difficult or
impossible. In the past, third parties have alleged that we have infringed upon
their patent rights and we cannot assure you that in the future third parties
will not bring additional claims of copyright or trademark infringement, patent
violation or misappropriation of creative ideas or formats against us with
respect to our content or any third-party content carried by us. Any such
claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in
costly litigation, divert management attention, require us to enter into



                                       17
<PAGE>   18

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.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES COULD ADD ADDITIONAL COSTS TO
DOING BUSINESS ON THE INTERNET

We are not currently subject to meaningful direct regulation applicable to
access to, or commerce on, the Internet by any government agency. Any new laws
or regulations relating to the Internet could substantially increase our
operating expenses or otherwise materially harm our business. It is possible
that in the future a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect
to the Internet and other digital media, covering issues such as user privacy,
electronic commerce, and the pricing, characteristics and quality of products
and services. Our distribution arrangements on the Internet could subject us to
the laws of a distant jurisdiction in an unpredictable manner. Several
telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications
Commission to regulate Internet service providers and providers of online
services in a manner similar to long distance telephone carriers and to impose
access fees on these companies.

TRADING IN OUR SHARES COULD BE SUBJECT TO EXTREME PRICE FLUCTUATIONS AND YOU
COULD HAVE DIFFICULTY TRADING YOUR SHARES

Our stock price may fluctuate dramatically due to a number of factors such as:

      o     actual or anticipated quarterly variations in our operating results

      o     changes in market expectations of our future financial performance
            or changes in the estimates of securities analysts

      o     a limited public float due to Hearst's share ownership

      o     announcements by our competitors

      o     conditions affecting the market for Internet stocks or the stock
            market in general

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile. The stock market in
general and the market for technology and Internet-related companies, in
particular, has experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to
the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and
industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common
stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's
securities, class action litigation has often been filed. If this were to happen
to us, litigation would be expensive and would divert management's attention
from the operation of the business.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES AND ACTUAL RESULTS THAT DIFFER FROM THOSE STATEMENTS MAY
MATERIALLY HARM OUR BUSINESS

This report contains forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain.
We use words such as "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future,"
"intends" and similar expressions to identify any forward-looking statements.
Each of these forward-looking statements involves risks and uncertainties. In
addition to forward-looking statements made by us, this report may also contain
forward-looking statements attributed to third parties regarding estimates of
the growth of the use of the Internet by women, electronic-commerce over the
Internet and spending by advertisers on the Internet. You should not place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many
reasons, including the risks faced by us described above in "Risk Factors" and
elsewhere in this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Women.com maintains its cash equivalents in an institutional money market fund.
As of March 31, 2000 all of Women.com's cash equivalent investments will mature
in one year or less. Women.com did not hold derivative financial instruments as
of March 31, 2000 and has never held any such instruments. Currently all sales
and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars and as a result no foreign exchange
gains or losses have been experienced to date. Women.com Networks does not
expect any transactions in foreign currencies during 2000 nor has it engaged in
foreign currency hedging to date.

capital stock of EZSharing.com, Inc. The issuance of the shares of common stock

Company used $21.4 million of the net proceeds of the offering for the following
purposes: $9.2 million for the acquisition of World Gaming Corporation, $4.0
million for an investment in Medical Self Care, Inc., $2.0 million for the
acquisition of EZSharing.com, Inc., and $6.2 million for purchases of property
