              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial  statements,
which include the accounts of America  Online,  Inc. (the  "Company" or "America
Online") and its wholly and majority owned  subsidiaries,  have been prepared in
accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article  10 of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not  include  all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for  complete  financial   statements.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered  necessary
for a fair  presentation,  have  been  included  in the  accompanying  unaudited
financial  statements.  All significant  intercompany  transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.  Operating results for the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full year ending June 30, 2000. For further information,
refer to the consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto,  incorporated
in Part II, Item 5 of this Form 10-Q,  for the fiscal year ended June 30,  1999,
which restate and  supersede the  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Revenue Recognition. Subscription services revenues are recognized over the
period that  services are provided.  In  contractual  arrangements  in which the
Company  provides  services  to third  party  subscriber  accounts,  the Company
records its subscription  service revenue, net of associated service costs, over
the period that services are provided. Other revenues, which consist principally
of electronic  commerce and  advertising  revenues,  enterprise  solutions sales
which include  software  licenses and services,  as well as data network service
revenues,  are  recognized  as the services are  performed or when the goods are
delivered.  The Company  generates  advertising  revenues  based on two types of
contracts,  standard  and  non-standard.  The  revenues  derived  from  standard
advertising  contracts  (comparable to insertion  orders),  in which the Company
provides a minimum number of impressions  for a fixed fee, are recognized as the
impressions are delivered.  The revenues derived from  non-standard  advertising
contracts,  which provide carriage,  advisory  services,  premier placements and
exclusivities,  navigation benefits,  brand affiliation and other benefits,  are
recognized straight line over the term of the contract,  provided the Company is
meeting its obligations under the contract.  Deferred revenue consists primarily
of prepaid  electronic  commerce  and  advertising  fees and  monthly and annual
prepaid subscription fees billed in advance.

         The Company enters into rebate and other promotional  programs with its
commerce partners.  For its rebate programs,  where there is a contract with the
subscriber for a defined period of time,  the Company  capitalizes  the costs of
the rebates and  amortizes the amount as a reduction of revenues over the period
in  which  services  are  performed  and/or  goods  are  delivered.   For  other
promotional programs, in which consumers are typically offered a subscription to
the  Company's  subscription  services at no charge as a result of  purchasing a
product from the commerce partner, the Company records subscription revenue on a
straight-line  basis, over the term of the service contract with the subscriber,
the amounts  received  from the  commerce  partners,  less any amounts  paid for
marketing to the commerce partners.

         Beginning in fiscal  1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement of Position
97-2 "Software  Revenue  Recognition"  as amended by Statement of Position 98-4.
The effect of adoption did not have a material  impact on the Company's  results
of operations. The Company recognizes the revenue allocable to software licenses
upon  delivery of the software  product to the  end-user,  unless the fee is not
fixed  or  determinable  or   collectibility   is  not  probable.   In  software
arrangements that include more than one element, the Company allocates the total
arrangement fee among each deliverable  based on the relative fair value of each
of the  deliverables  determined  based on  vendor-specific  objective  evidence
("VSOE").  The  Company  determines  VSOE  based on an  established  price  list
published by management having the relevant authority, which reflects the prices
at which those elements are sold separately to third parties.

         Investments Including  Available-For-Sale  Securities.  The Company has
various  investments,  including  foreign and domestic joint ventures,  that are
accounted for under the equity method of  accounting.  All  investments in which
the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee,
but less than a controlling voting interest,  are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's share
of the  investee's  earnings  or  loss is  included  in  consolidated  operating
results. To date, the Company's basis and current commitments in its investments
accounted  for under the equity method of  accounting  have been  minimal.  As a
result, these investments have not significantly  impacted the Company's results
of operations or its financial position.

         Other  investments,  for which the Company does not have the ability to
exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily determinable
market  value,  are  accounted  for under  the cost  method  of  accounting.  In
addition,  for  investments  in  equity  securities  in  which  the  Company  is
restricted from selling the equity securities within 12 months,  the investments
are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.  When the restrictions on
the sale of such securities  lapse, the Company  classifies and accounts for the
securities as available-for-sale.  Dividends and other distributions of earnings
from  investees,  if any,  are  included  in income when  declared.  The Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under
the cost  method of  accounting  and as of March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999 such
investments  were  recorded  at the lower of cost or  estimated  net  realizable
value.

         The Company has  classified  all debt and equity  securities  for which
there is a determinable  fair market value and there are no  restrictions on the
Company's  ability  to sell  within  the next 12 months  as  available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale  securities are carried at fair value,  with unrealized gains
and losses  reported  as a separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity net of
applicable income taxes.  Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged
to be  other-than-temporary  on  available-for-sale  securities  are included in
other income. The cost basis for realized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities is determined on a specific identification basis.

</TABLE>

     The diluted  share base for the three and nine months  ended March 31, 2000
excludes incremental weighted shares of 13,538,446 and 2,022,592,  respectively,
related to  convertible  subordinated  notes.  These  shares are excluded due to
their antidilutive  effect as a result of adjusting net income by $6 million and
$8  million,  respectively,  for  interest  expense  net of tax  that  would  be
forfeited if the notes were converted to equity.

Note 4.  Comprehensive Income

         For the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 and 1999,  comprehensive
income was $32 million and $515 million, respectively. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, comprehensive income was $1.8 billion and $688 million,
respectively.  The difference  between net income and  comprehensive  income for
each  period   presented   is  due  to  net   unrealized   gains  or  losses  on
available-for-sale securities.

Note 5.  Merger and Restructuring Charges

         During the quarter  ended  December 31, 1999,  the Company  recorded $5
million of direct  costs  related to the  merger of Tegic  Communications,  Inc.
("Tegic"). These charges primarily consisted of investment banker fees, fees for
legal  and  accounting  services  and other  expenses  directly  related  to the
transaction. All these costs have been paid as of December 31, 1999.

         During fiscal 1999, the Company recorded the following  charges related
to mergers and restructurings:

o             Approximately $15 million of direct costs primarily related to the
              mergers  of  MovieFone,   Inc.  ("MovieFone"),   Spinner  Networks
              Incorporated  ("Spinner") and Nullsoft,  Inc. ("Nullsoft").  These
              charges primarily  consisted of investment banker fees,  severance
              and other personnel costs, fees for legal and accounting  services
              and other expenses directly related to the transaction.

o             Approximately $78 million of direct costs primarily related to the
              mergers of Netscape  Communications  Corporation  ("Netscape") and
              When,  Inc. and the  Company's  reorganization  plans to integrate
              Netscape's  operations  and build on the strengths of the Netscape
              brand  and  capabilities.   This  charge  primarily   consisted of
              investment  banker  fees,  severance  and  other  personnel  costs
              (related to the elimination of approximately 850 positions),  fees
              for legal and  accounting  services  and other  expenses  directly
              related to the transaction.

o             Approximately  $2 million in merger  related  costs in  connection
              with the  merger of AtWeb,  Inc.  These  expenses  were  primarily
              associated with fees for investment banking,  legal and accounting
              services,  severance costs and other related charges in connection
              with the transaction.

         The  following  table  summarizes  the activity  during the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 for the charges recorded during fiscal 1999. The balance of
the restructuring  accrual is included in other accrued expenses and liabilities
on the consolidated  balance sheet and is expected to be  substantially  paid by
the end of this fiscal year.

Note 6.  Segment Information

      Effective  June 30, 1999, the Company  adopted SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Certain information is
disclosed,  per SFAS No. 131,  based on the way management  organizes  financial
information  for  making  operating  decisions  and  assessing  performance.  In
determining  operating  segments,  the Company  reviewed the current  management
structure reporting to the chief operating  decision-maker ("CODM") and analyzed
the reporting the CODM receives to allocate resources and measure performance.

      The Company  currently  has four  operating  segments  that share the same
infrastructure.

      The  Interactive   Services  Group  operates  the  Company's   interactive
products:  the AOL,  CompuServe and custom  solution  services and their related
brand and product extensions;  Netscape Netcenter; and the Netscape Communicator
client  software,  including the Netscape  Navigator  browser.  The  Interactive
Services group also contains the new products group which has responsibility for
broadband  development  and AOL devices like AOL TV, and is charged with rapidly
delivering high-quality, world-class products, features and functionality across
all branded services and properties.

      The Interactive  Properties Group oversees ICQ,  Digital City,  MovieFone,
Digital Marketing Services (DMS), Spinner and Nullsoft,  developer of the Winamp
and SHOUTcast brands. This group is responsible for building new revenue streams
by seeking out opportunities to build or acquire branded properties that operate
across multiple services or platforms.

         The AOL International  Group oversees the AOL,  CompuServe and Netscape
Online  services  outside of the U.S. The AOL  International  Group operates the
AOL,  CompuServe  and Netscape  Online  brands in Europe with its joint  venture
partner  Bertelsmann AG; AOL Canada with its joint venture partner Royal Bank of
Canada;  AOL Japan with its joint venture partners Mitsui and Nikkei; AOL Latin
America with its joint venture  partner the Cisneros  Group;  AOL Hong Kong with
China Internet Corporation and its affiliate,  China.com Corporation; and AOL in
Australia with its joint venture partner AAPT Limited.

      The Enterprise  Solutions segment is comprised of the Netscape  Enterprise
Group.  This  segment  focuses  on  providing  businesses  a range  of  software
products,  technical support,  consulting and training services.  These products
and  services   historically   have  enabled   businesses  and  users  to  share
information, manage networks and facilitate electronic commerce.

     In November 1998, America Online entered into a strategic alliance with Sun
Microsystems,  Inc., a leader in network  computing  products and  services,  to
accelerate the growth of electronic  commerce.  The strategic  alliance provides
that, over a three-year  period,  the Company will develop and market,  together
with Sun,  iPlanet client  software and network  application and server software
for  electronic  commerce,  extended  communities  and  connectivity,  including
software based in part on the Netscape code base, on Sun code and technology and
on certain  America  Online  services  features,  to  business  enterprises.  In
combination  with dedicated  resources from Sun, the Netscape  Enterprise  Group
delivers  easy-to-deploy,  end-to-end  solutions to help  business  partners and
other companies put their businesses online.

         The Interactive  Services Group and the Netscape  Enterprise  Group are
the only two  reportable  segments.  The results of the  Interactive  Properties
Group and the AOL International Group have been combined in the "other segments"
row shown below.  Prior period  information  has been restated to conform to the
current  presentation.  There  are no  intersegment  revenues  between  the four
operating  segments.  Shared support service  functions such as human resources,
facilities  management  and other  infrastructure  support  groups are allocated
based on usage or headcount,  where practical,  to the four operating  segments.
Charges that cannot be allocated are reported as general & administrative  costs
and  are  not  allocated  to the  segments.  Special  charges  determined  to be
significant are reported separately in the Condensed Consolidated  Statements of
Operations  and are  not  assigned  or  allocated  to the  segments.  All  other
accounting policies are applied consistently to the segments, where applicable.

         A summary of the segment financial information is as follows:

Note 7.  Notes Payable

         During  December  1999,  the Company  sold $2.3  billion  principal  of
zero-coupon  Convertible  Subordinated  Notes due December 6, 2019 (the "Notes")
and received net proceeds of  approximately  $1.2  billion.  The Notes have a 3%
yield to maturity  and are  convertible  into the  Company's  common  stock at a
conversion  rate of  5.8338  shares of common  stock for each  $1,000  principal
amount of the Notes  (equivalent  to a  conversion  price of $94.4938  per share
based on the initial offering price of the Notes).  The Notes may be redeemed at
the option of the Company on or after December 6, 2002 at the redemption  prices
set forth in the Notes.  The holders can require the Company to  repurchase  the
Notes on December 6, 2004 at the redemption prices set forth in the Notes.

         On December 31, 1999,  the  underwriters  exercised  the  overallotment
option on the  Notes.  As a  result,  on  January  5,  2000,  the  Company  sold
additional  Notes with aggregate  principal at maturity of  approximately  $55.6
million for net proceeds of approximately $30 million.

Note 8.  Subsequent Events

         As of May 10, 2000 the fair market value of the  Company's  investments
including available-for-sale  securities had declined approximately $900 million
from  approximately  $4.8  billion as of March 31,  2000 to  approximately  $3.9
billion.

Note 9.  Legal Proceedings

         Several  complaints  have been filed and remain pending in the Delaware
Court of  Chancery  naming as  defendants  one or more of  America  Online,  the
directors of America Online,  Time Warner Inc. and the directors of Time Warner.
The complaints  purport to be filed on behalf of holders of America Online stock
or Time Warner stock,  as applicable,  and allege  breaches of fiduciary duty by
the  applicable  company and its  directors or aiding and  abetting  breaches of
fiduciary  duty by the other company and its  directors in  connection  with the
proposed  merger of America Online and Time Warner.  The plaintiffs in each case
seek to enjoin  completion of the merger and/or damages.  The Company intends to
defend against these lawsuits vigorously.

         The Department of Labor ("DOL") is investigating  the  applicability of
the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") to the Company's Community Leader program.
The Company believes the Community Leader program reflects  industry  practices,
that the Community Leaders are volunteers, not employees, and that the Company's
actions  comply with the law.  The Company is  cooperating  with the DOL, but is
unable to predict the outcome of the DOL's  investigation  and cannot reasonably
estimate  a range of  possible  loss  given  the  current  status  of the  DOL's
investigation.  Former  volunteers have sued the Company on behalf of an alleged
class consisting of current and former  volunteers,  alleging  violations of the
FLSA and  comparable  state  statutes.  The Company  believes the claims have no
merit and intends to defend them  vigorously.  The  Company  cannot  predict the
outcome of the claims or whether  other former or current  volunteers  will file
additional actions,  nor can the Company reasonably estimate a range of possible
loss given the current status of the litigation.

         America  Online has been named as a defendant  in several  class action
lawsuits  that have been filed in state and federal  courts.  The  complaints in
these lawsuits contend that consumers and competing  Internet service  providers
have been injured  because of the default  selection  features in AOL 5.0. These
cases are at a preliminary  stage, but America Online does not believe they have
merit and intends to contest them vigorously.

Note 10. Business Developments

         On January 10, 2000, the Company and Time Warner Inc.  ("Time  Warner")
announced  that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger,  dated as
of January 10,  2000 (the  "Merger  Agreement"),  which sets forth the terms and
conditions of the proposed merger of equals (the "Merger") of America Online and
Time Warner.  Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  America Online and Time Warner
have  formed AOL Time  Warner and each holds one share of AOL Time  Warner.  AOL
Acquisition  Sub, a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner,
will be merged with and into America Online, with stockholders of America Online
receiving  one share of AOL Time Warner  common  stock for each share of America
Online Common  Stock,  and TW  Acquisition  Sub, a newly formed and wholly owned
subsidiary  of AOL Time Warner,  will be merged with and into Time Warner,  with
common  stockholders  of Time  Warner  receiving  1.5 shares of AOL Time  Warner
common  stock for each share of Time  Warner  common  stock.  As a result of the
Merger, the separate  corporate  existence of each of AOL Acquisition Sub and TW
Acquisition  Sub will cease and each of  America  Online  and Time  Warner  will
survive  the  Merger  as a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of AOL Time  Warner.  The
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the approval of
the  stockholders  of each of America Online and Time Warner and other customary
closing conditions, such as regulatory approvals.

         On December  22,  1999,  the  Company  announced  that it will  acquire
MapQuest.com,  Inc. in an all-stock  transaction.  The Company  expects to issue
approximately  13 million shares of common stock.  Stockholders  of MapQuest.com
will receive  0.31558 shares of AOL common stock for each share of  MapQuest.com
stock.  The  transaction  is expected to close in June 2000,  subject to various
conditions,  including  customary  regulatory  approvals  and  the  approval  of
MapQuest.com   stockholders.   The  transaction  will  be  accounted  for  as  a
pooling-of-interests.

         On March 17, 2000, America Online and Bertelsmann AG announced a global
alliance  to  expand  the  distribution  of  Bertelsmann's   media  content  and
electronic  commerce   properties  over  America  Online's   interactive  brands
worldwide.  America  Online and  Bertelsmann  also  announced  an  agreement  to
restructure  their interests in the AOL Europe and AOL Australia joint ventures.
This restructuring  consists of a put and call arrangement for America Online to
purchase,  in two  installments,  Bertelsmann's  50%  interest in AOL Europe for
consideration  ranging from $6.75 billion to $8.25  billion,  payable at America
Online's option in cash,  America Online stock (or AOL Time Warner stock, if the
merger has closed) or a combination of cash and stock. Bertelsmann has the right
to require  America  Online to purchase 80% of its 50% interest in AOL Europe on
January 31, 2002 for $5.3  billion and the  remainder  on July 1, 2002 for $1.45
billion. If Bertelsmann fails to exercise its put rights, America Online has the
right to  purchase  80% of  Bertelsmann's  50%  interest  in AOL Europe  between
January 15, 2002 and January 15, 2003 for $6.5 billion and the remainder between
June 30,  2002 and June 30, 2003 for $1.75  billion.  In  addition,  the parties
agreed that America Online would take immediate  ownership of Bertelsmann's  50%
interest in the  parties' AOL  Australia  joint  venture,  subject to receipt of
necessary regulatory approvals.  Because Bertelsmann's first put option will not
close until January 31, 2002, if exercised,  America  Online has not  determined
yet how it will fund the  payment of the  purchase  price for its  purchases  of
Bertelsmann's   interest  in  AOL  Europe.  America  Online  cannot  predict  if
Bertelsmann  will exercise its put rights,  and America Online's call rights are
not  exercisable  unless  Bertelsmann  fails  to  exercise  its put  rights.  If
Bertelsmann  does not exercise its put rights,  America Online will consider all
pertinent factors at such time and during the exercisability  period of its call
rights in  determining  whether  to  exercise  its call  rights,  including  the
performance  and perceived  value of AOL Europe at such time,  conditions in the
markets  where AOL Europe  operates,  financial  market  conditions  and America
Online's (or AOL Time Warner's) business plans and financial situation.  For the
year ended June 30,  1999,  AOL  Europe's  revenues are less than 10% of America
Online's  revenues and AOL Europe's net loss is less than 5% of America Online's
net income.  America Online anticipates that the primary impact of the potential
acquisition  of  Bertelsmann's  interest in AOL Europe on results of  operations
would be the  amortization  of $1 billion to $1.5 billion of goodwill each year.
America  Online  does not  anticipate  an  adverse  impact  from  the  potential
acquisition  on America  Online's  financial  position  because it will have the
ability to pay the purchase  price either in stock or cash, or a combination  of
the two, at its option.  America Online believes it will have adequate resources
from its  cash  reserves  or from  accessing  the  capital  markets  to make the
required  payment upon exercise of a put or call right,  should it decide to pay
in cash,  and that  following the merger,  AOL Time Warner will be in a stronger
position to make such payments than America Online alone would be.

Note 11. Recent Pronouncements

         In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting
for  Certain  Transactions  involving  Stock  Compensation"  ("FIN  44"),  which
contains  rules  designed to clarify the  application  of APB 25. FIN 44 will be
effective  on July 1,  2000 and the  Company  will  adopt it at that  time.  The
Company  believes  the  anticipated  impact  of  adoption  of FIN 44 will not be
material to the earnings and financial position of the Company.

         The FASB recently issued Statement No. 137,  "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities-Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 133". The Statement defers for one year the effective date of FASB Statement
No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities".  The
rule now will apply to all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal years  beginning after
June 15,  2000.  In June 1998,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  133,  "Accounting  for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted
in years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement  permits early adoption as
of the beginning of any fiscal  quarter after its issuance.  The Statement  will
require the Company to recognize  all  derivatives  on the balance sheet at fair
value.  Derivatives  that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value  through
income.  If the  derivative  is a hedge,  depending  on the nature of the hedge,
changes in the fair  value of  derivatives  will  either be offset  against  the
change in fair  value of the hedged  assets,  liabilities,  or firm  commitments
through  earnings or recognized in other  comprehensive  income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be immediately  recognized in earnings.  The Company believes
the  anticipated  impact of  adoption  of SFAS 133 will not be  material  to the
earnings and financial position of the Company.

Note 12. Accounting Adjustment

     After   consultation   with  the  Staff  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission,   the  Company  has  adjusted  its   accounting  to  capitalize  the
acquisition cost of Gateway.net subscribers and amortize such cost over the term
of the agreement.  Such cost had  previously  been expensed in the quarter ended
December  31,  1999.  The effect of this  adjustment  on the three  months ended
December  31,  1999 was to  increase  net  income by $18  million  and $0.01 per
diluted share.  The effect of this adjustment on the nine months ended March 31,
2000 was to  increase  net  income by $17  million  with no  effect  on  diluted
earnings per share.

</TABLE>

         Subscription Services Revenues

         For the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  subscription  services
revenues,   which  are  generated  mainly  from  subscribers  paying  a  monthly
membership fee, increased from $869 million to $1,153 million,  or 33%, over the
three months ended March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a
36% increase in the average  number of revenue  generating  subscribers  for the
three months ended March 31, 2000,  compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999,  offset in part by a slight decrease in the average  monthly  subscription
services revenue per revenue generating subscriber.  The decrease in the average
monthly subscription  services revenue per revenue generating  subscriber is due
to the mix of multiple price points across the Company's subscription services.

         For the  nine  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  subscription  services
revenues increased from $2,378 million to $3,215 million,  or 35%, over the nine
months ended March 31, 1999.  This increase was primarily  attributable to a 34%
increase in the average number of revenue  generating  subscribers  for the nine
months ended March 31,  2000,  compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
as well as a 1% increase in the average monthly  subscription  services  revenue
per revenue generating subscriber.

         At March 31,  2000,  the Company  had  approximately  22.2  million AOL
service subscribers, including 18.6 million in the United States and 3.6 million
in the rest of the world.  Also at that date, the Company had  approximately 2.7
million  CompuServe service  subscribers,  with 1.9 million in the United States
and 852,000 in the rest of the world. The Company also has approximately 854,000
worldwide  custom solution  subscribers on alternate  branded  services that are
provided in conjunction with the Company's partners.

         Advertising, Commerce and Other Revenues

</TABLE>


         Advertising,  commerce and other revenues, which consist principally of
advertising and related revenues,  fees associated with commerce and the sale of
merchandise across the Company's  multiple brands,  increased by 103%, from $275
million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to $557 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000. For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, advertising,  commerce
and other  revenues  increased  94% from $694  million in the nine months  ended
March 31, 1999 to $1,344 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2000.

         Advertising  and electronic  commerce fees increased by 119%, from $211
million in the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $463  million in the three
months ended March 31, 2000.  Advertising and electronic commerce fees increased
by 104%,  from $532  million in the nine  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $1,087
million in the nine months ended March 31, 2000.  These  increases are primarily
attributable  to  additional  advertising  and  electronic  commerce fees on the
Company's  AOL service,  as well as the  Company's  other  branded  services and
portals.  At March 31, 2000,  the Company's  advertising  and commerce  backlog,
representing the contract value of advertising and commerce  agreements  signed,
less revenues already  recognized from these agreements,  was approximately $2.7
billion,  up approximately  $1.3 billion from March 31, 1999.  Merchandise sales
increased  by 53%,  from $38 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to
$58  million  in the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000.  Merchandise  sales
increased  by 66%,  from $91 million in the nine months  ended March 31, 1999 to
$151 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2000. These increases are mainly
attributable to improved response rates to advertising, as well as a larger base
of subscribers.

                  Enterprise Solutions Revenues

         Enterprise  solutions  revenues,  which consist  principally of product
licensing fees and fees from technical support, consulting and training services
increased by 16%, from $109 million in three months ended March 31, 1999 to $126
million in the three  months  ended March 31,  2000.  For the nine months  ended
March 31,  2000,  Enterprise  solutions  revenues  increased  by 11%,  from $328
million in the nine  months  ended  March 31,  1999 to $365  million in the nine
months ended March 31,  2000.  The  increase  was  primarily  driven by revenues
generated  from the alliance with Sun  Microsystems,  Inc.,  which was formed in
March 1999.

         Costs and Expenses

         The following table and discussion highlights the costs and expenses of

</TABLE>


                  Cost of Revenues

         Cost of revenues includes  network-related costs,  consisting primarily
of data network costs; personnel and related costs associated with operating the
data centers, data network and providing customer support;  billing,  consulting
and technical  support/training;  host computer and network equipment costs; and
the costs of merchandise  sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  cost
of revenues increased from $693 million to $937 million,  or 35%, over the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  and  decreased as a percentage  of total  revenues
from 55.3% to 51.0%.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, cost of revenues
increased  from  $1,916  million to $2,558  million or 34% over the nine  months
ended March 31, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of total revenues from 56.4%
to 52.0%.

         The  increase in cost of  revenues  in the three and nine months  ended
March 31, 2000 compared to the same period ending March 31, 1999,  was primarily
attributable  to increases in data network  costs;  personnel  and related costs
associated with operating the data centers,  data network and providing customer
support;  and costs  related to the Company's  new custom  services,  as well as
increases in royalties, merchandise and billing expense as a result of increased
member activity on the various services.  Data network costs increased primarily
as a result of the  larger  customer  base and  increased  usage  per  customer.
Personnel and related costs  associated  with  operating the data centers,  data
network and providing  customer support  increased  primarily as a result of the
requirements  of  supporting a larger data  network,  larger  customer  base and
increased  subscription  services  revenues.  Costs related to the Company's new
custom services are a result of the Company's agreement with Gateway, Inc.

         The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage  of total  revenues in
the three and nine  months  ended March 31,  2000  compared to the same  periods
ending March 31, 1999, was primarily attributable to growth of the higher margin
advertising,   commerce   and  other   revenues,   as  well  as  a  decrease  in
network-related  costs as a percentage of  subscription  services  revenue.  The
decrease in  network-related  costs as a  percentage  of  subscription  services
revenue was  primarily  driven by a 14% decrease in the hourly  network cost for
the three months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to the three months ended March
31, 1999. The decrease in the hourly network costs is mainly due to efficiencies
the  Company  continues  to gain as a result of its size and  scale,  as well as
lower  negotiated  rates with its network  providers.  This  decrease was mostly
offset by an  increase  in daily  member  usage,  from an  average  of nearly 55
minutes  per day in the three  months  ended  March 31, 1999 to an average of 64
minutes per day in the three months ended March 31, 2000.

                  Sales and Marketing

         Sales and  marketing  expenses  include the costs to acquire and retain
subscribers,  the  operating  expenses  associated  with the sales and marketing
organizations  and  other  general  marketing  costs to  support  the  Company's
multiple brands.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000, sales and marketing
expenses  increased  from $218 million to $266  million,  or 22%, over the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  and  decreased as a percentage  of total  revenues
from  17.4% to  14.5%.  For the nine  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  sales and
marketing expenses increased from $594 million to $706 million,  or 19% over the
nine  months  ended March 31,  1999,  and  decreased  as a  percentage  of total
revenues from 17.5% to 14.3%.  The increase in sales and marketing  expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily  attributable to an increase
in direct  subscriber  acquisition  costs  related to the AOL  service and brand
advertising  across  multiple  brands,  offset by a decrease  in sales and sales
support  functions in the enterprise  group. The increase in sales and marketing
expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily  attributable to
an increase in direct  subscriber  acquisition  costs related to the AOL service
and brand  advertising  across multiple brands offset by a decrease in sales and
sales  support  functions  in the  enterprise  group.  The decrease in marketing
expenses as a percentage  of total  revenues for the three and nine months ended
March  31,  2000 was  primarily  a result  of the  substantial  growth  in total
revenues.

                  Product Development

         Product development costs include research and development expenses and
other  product  development  costs.  For the three  months ended March 31, 2000,
product  development costs decreased from $80 million to $76 million, or 5% over
the three months ended March 31, 1999,  and  decreased as a percentage  of total
revenues  from 6.4% to 4.1%.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2000,  product
development  remained unchanged at $217 million and decreased as a percentage of
total revenues from 6.4% to 4.4%. The decrease in product  development costs for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily  attributable  to a decrease
in Enterprise personnel costs as a result of the alliance with Sun MicroSystems,
Inc., as well as the shared AOL infrastructure,  partially offset by an increase
in the number of  technical  employees  supporting  additional  products  across
multiple brands.  The decrease in product  development  costs as a percentage of
total  revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily
a result of the substantial growth in total revenues.

                  General and Administrative

         For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  general and  administrative
expenses  increased  from $120 million to $156  million,  or 30%, over the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  and  decreased as a percentage  of total  revenues
from 9.6% to 8.5%.  For the nine  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  general  and
administrative expenses increased from $297 million to $423 million, or 42% over
the nine months  ended March 31, 1999 and  decreased  as a  percentage  of total
revenues from 8.7% to 8.6%. The increase in general and administrative costs for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily  attributable to an increase
in bad debt expense  related to the CompuServe  and AOL services,  as well as an
increase in  professional  services,  partially  offset by a decrease in payroll
taxes associated with employee stock option exercises. For the nine months ended
March 31, 2000, the increase in general and  administrative  costs was primarily
attributable  to an  increase  in  bad  debt  expense  related  to the  AOL  and
CompuServe services;  increased personnel costs, primarily payroll taxes related
to employee stock option exercises;  and other  professional  services and fees,
primarily  consulting  and legal fees.  The increase in bad debt expense for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 related to the CompuServe  service is
primarily  due to the  CompuServe  rebate  program which was initiated in fiscal
year 2000.  The increase in bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2000 related to the AOL service is primarily a result of extending the
collection  period for subscription  fees. In addition,  the increase in service
revenues  during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 for both the AOL
and CompuServe services contributed to the increase in bad debt. The decrease in
general and administrative costs as a percentage of total revenues for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2000 was  primarily a result of the  substantial
growth in total revenues.

                  Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

         Amortization of goodwill and other  intangible  assets increased to $20
million in the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from $17 million in the three
months  ended March 31,  1999.  Amortization  of goodwill  and other  intangible
assets increased to $55 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2000 from $49
million in the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

         Other Income, Net

         Other  income,   net  consists   primarily  of  investment  income  and
non-operating  gains net of interest  expense  and  non-operating  charges.  The
Company  recorded  other  income of $336  million and $587  million in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The Company recorded other
income of $533  million and $608 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999,  respectively.  The decrease in other income in the three months ended
March 31, 2000  compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999 was  primarily
attributable  to realized  gains on  investments in the three months ended March
31,  1999 of $567  million  compared to realized  gains on  investments  of $279
million in the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  offset by an  increase in
interest income. The decrease in other income in the nine months ended March 31,
2000 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1999 was primarily attributable
to realized  gains on investments of $570 million in the nine months ended March
31, 1999 compared to net realized  gains on  investments  of $399 million in the
nine months ended March 31, 2000, offset by an increase in interest income.  The
increase in interest  income is due to a higher cash balance and interest earned
on investments.

         Provision for Income Taxes

         The provision for income taxes was $280 million and $223 million in the
three  months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  provision  for
income  taxes was $583  million and $253  million in the nine months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999  respectively.  Income tax expense for the three  months ended
March 31, 2000 includes $279 million for U.S. federal and state income taxes and
$1 million for foreign taxes. Income tax expense for the nine months ended March
31, 2000  includes  $580 million for U.S.  federal and state income taxes and $3
million for foreign  taxes.  As of March 31, 2000, the Company had net operating
loss  carryforwards of  approximately  $10.4 billion,  primarily  resulting from
stock option exercises, available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income.

</TABLE>


1.   For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Interactive  Online
     Services Group includes online service  revenues of $1,153 million and $869
     million,  respectively,  advertising,  commerce and other  revenues of $452
     million and $252 million,  respectively,  and goodwill and other intangible
     assets  amortization of $13 million and $10 million, respectively.  For the
     nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Interactive  Online Services
     Group  includes  online  service  revenues  of $3,215  million  and  $2,378
     million, respectively,  advertising,  commerce and other revenues of $1,111
     million and $642 million,  respectively,  and goodwill and other intangible
     assets amortization of $33 million and $23 million, respectively.

2.   For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Enterprise
     Solutions segment is comprised solely of enterprise revenues.  For the nine
     months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  the  Enterprise  Solutions  segment
     includes  goodwill and other intangible  assets  amortization of $0 million
     and $5 million, respectively.

3.   For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, Other segments
     are comprised solely of advertising,  commerce and other revenues.  For the
     three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, Other segments include goodwill
     and other  intangible  assets  amortization  of $7 million  and $7 million,
     respectively.  For the nine months  ended  March 31,  2000 and 1999,  Other
     segments include goodwill and other intangible  assets  amortization of $22
     million and $21 million, respectively.

4.   Bad Debt has been allocated to the applicable segment.
5.   Other consists of merger related costs.


         For an  overview  of the segment  revenues,  refer to the  consolidated
results of operations discussion earlier in this section.

         Interactive Online Services income from operations  increased from $283
million in the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $430  million in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and  increased  from $662 million in the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 to $1,145  million in the nine months ended March 31, 2000.
These increases are primarily the result of increases in  subscription  services
revenues and  advertising,  commerce and other  revenues,  coupled with improved
margins and a decrease in marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues.

         Enterprise Solutions income (loss) from operations improved from a loss
of $32 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to income of $24 million
in the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and a loss of $43 million in the nine
months  ended March 31,  1999 to income of $71 million in the nine months  ended
March 31, 2000. These  improvements were mainly  attributable to the increase in
revenues,  as well as a decline in operating  expenses,  as the Company began to
realize  efficiencies  from using the  Company's  infrastructure  to support the
Enterprise  Solutions  segment,  as well as the other  lines of  businesses.  In
addition,  Enterprise Solutions is experiencing  benefits from the Sun Alliance,
which was formed in March 1999.

         Other segments  income (loss) from  operations  improved from a loss of
$16 million in the three months ended March 31, 1999 to income of $37 million in
the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 and a loss of $38  million in the nine
months  ended March 31,  1999 to income of $66 million in the nine months  ended
March 31, 2000.  The increase in income from  operations  for the three and nine
months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to the three and nine months  ended March
31, 2000 is primarily due to an increase in Interactive  Properties  advertising
revenues  partially  offset by an  increase in cost of  revenues  and  marketing
costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company is currently  financing its  operations  primarily  through
cash generated from operations. In addition, the Company has generated cash from
the sale of its capital stock, the sale of its convertible notes and the sale of
marketable  securities it held.  Net cash provided by operating  activities  was
$1,313  million  and $929  million in the nine  months  ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, and increased primarily due to the Company's increase in net
income before  taxes.  Net cash (used in) provided by investing  activities  was
$(1,116)  million and $273  million in the nine months  ended March 31, 2000 and
1999,  respectively,  and  increased  mainly due to the  Company's  purchases of
investments  including  available-for-sale  securities,  as well as property and
equipment. In addition to purchasing  telecommunications  equipment, the Company
also  enters  into  operating  leases  for the use of this  equipment.  Net cash
provided by financing activities was $1,571 million and $802 million in the nine
months  ended  March 31,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Included  in  financing
activities  for the nine  months  ended  March 31,  2000 was  $1,281  million in
proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  convertible  notes.   Included  in  financing
activities  for the nine  months  ended  March  31,  1999 was  $550  million  in
aggregate net proceeds from a public  offering of its common stock.  The Company
currently has  approximately  $3.7 billion  available for issuance under a shelf
registration filed in May 1999.

         The Company  expects to continue  using its working  capital to finance
ongoing  operations  and to fund marketing  programs and the  development of its
products and  services.  The Company  plans to continue to invest in  subscriber
acquisition,  retention and brand  marketing to expand its  subscriber  base, as
well as in network,  computing  and support  infrastructure.  Additionally,  the
Company  expects to use a portion of its cash for the acquisition and subsequent
funding  of   technologies,   content,   products,   investments  or  businesses
complementary to the Company's  current business.  The Company  anticipates that
cash on hand, cash provided by operating  activities and cash available from the
capital markets and  traditional  lending markets will be sufficient to fund its
operations for the next twelve months.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")

         The following table and discussion  summarizes EBITDA for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                           Three Months Ended              Nine Months Ended
                                March 31,                     March 31,
                           2000         1999              2000         1999
                       ------------  ------------     ------------  ------------
                                         (Amounts in millions)

EBITDA(as adjusted).....   $492          $224           $1,234         $559

         The Company  defines  EBITDA (as adjusted  for  one-time  items) as net
income plus: (1) provision/(benefit) for income taxes, (2) interest (income) and
expense,   (3)   depreciation   and   amortization   and  (4)  special  one-time
charges/(gains). EBITDA is presented and discussed because the Company considers
EBITDA an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its
business  including  the ability to provide  cash flows to service debt and fund
capital expenditures.  EBITDA,  however, should not be considered an alternative
to operating or net income as an indicator of the performance of the Company, or
as an  alternative  to cash  flows  from  operating  activities  as a measure of
liquidity,  in each case  determined in accordance  with  accounting  principles
generally  accepted in the United States. In addition,  EBITDA as defined herein
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

         For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  EBITDA  increased from $224
million to $492 million or 120% over the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
EBITDA margin (EBITDA  divided by total  revenues)  increased from 17.9% for the
three  months ended March 31, 1999 to 26.8% for the three months ended March 31,
2000.  For the nine months  ended March 31,  2000,  EBITDA  increased  from $559
million to $1,234 million or 121% over the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The
EBITDA margin  increased  from 16.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to
25.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.  In  addition,  the  incremental
EBITDA margin (the current quarter  increase over the year ago quarter in EBITDA
of $268 million divided by the increase in revenues of $583 million for the same
periods) increased to nearly 46%. This increase in the incremental EBITDA margin
is mainly due to the shared  infrastructure that supports the Company's multiple
brands;  as  these  brands  begin  to  generate  additional  revenues,  a larger
percentage of each incremental dollar flows to EBITDA.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         Market risk is the  potential  loss  arising  from  adverse  changes in
market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates and a
decline in the stock  market.  The Company  does not enter into  derivatives  or
other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

         The Company's investment portfolio of available-for-sale  securities is
primarily  invested in Internet and computer  companies.  As of May 10, 2000 the
fair market  value of the  Company's  investments  including  available-for-sale
securities  had declined  approximately  $900 million  from  approximately  $4.8
billion as of March 31, 2000 to approximately $3.9 billion.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

         Please  see Note 9 to the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements
included herein.

Item 2.    Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

           On January 18, 2000, the Company  acquired  ToFish!  Incorporated  in
exchange for the issuance of 49,901 shares of Company Common Stock.  The private
placement is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 5.    Other Information

         On October 29, 1996, America Online,  Inc. ("AOL") announced that as of
September 30, 1996, it would write off the entire amount of certain  advertising
costs ("DMAC") it had previously capitalized.  AOL stated that the write-off was
necessary to reflect changes in its evolving  business model,  including reduced
reliance on subscriber's  fees as the company  developed other revenue  sources.
AOL had responded to the  competitive  environment by adopting an  unlimited-use
pricing  plan and,  by writing off DMAC,  acknowledged  it could not rely on its
revenue   history   under  a  different   pricing   model  as  support  for  the
recoverability  of DMAC.  The  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") has
recently entered findings  regarding its views of AOL's  capitalization  of DMAC
between July 1, 1994 and October 29, 1996.  The SEC has found that AOL could not
reliably forecast future customer  behavorial  patterns with the requisite level
of certainty  necessary to justify the capitalization of these advertising costs
because of the  volatile  nature of the  Internet  marketplace  during that time
period.  AOL has consented to the entry of an order making those  findings,  but
neither admits nor denies any of the SEC's allegations or findings in the order.

     Attached  to this  report as Exhibit 99 (as amended May 17, 2000 to reflect
the revised Report of Independent Auditors from Ernst & Young LLP in Exhibit 99)
are financial statements of AOL for the three years in the period ended June 30,
1999,  of which the year ended June 30,  1997 has been  restated  to reflect the
SEC's  findings,  as  disclosed  in  Note 3 to  the  financial  statements.  The
financial  statements,  which are incorporated herein by reference,  restate and
supersede the financial statements contained in AOL's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 1999.

         Item 6, Selected  Financial Data, from AOL's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30,  1999 has been  restated  as follows to reflect  the

------------------
(1)  Net income in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, includes special charges
     of $95  million  related  to mergers  and  restructurings,  $25  million in
     transition  costs  and a net gain of $567  million  related  to the sale of
     investments  in Excite,  Inc.  Net loss in the  fiscal  year ended June 30,
     1998,  includes  special  charges of $75  million  related  to mergers  and
     restructurings,  $94 million  related to acquired  in-process  research and
     development and $17 million related to settlements.  Net loss in the fiscal
     year ended June 30,  1997,  includes  special  charges of $49  million  for
     restructuring,  $24 million for  contract  terminations,  $24 million for a
     legal settlement and $9 million related to acquired in-process research and
     development.  Net income in the fiscal year ended June 30,  1996,  includes
     special  charges  of $17  million  for  acquired  in-process  research  and
     development,  $8 million  in merger  related  costs and $8 million  for the
     settlement  of a class  action  lawsuit.  Net loss in the fiscal year ended
     June 30,  1995,  includes  special  charges  of $50  million  for  acquired
     in-process research and development and $2 million for merger expenses.

(2)  EBITDA is defined as net income plus:  (1)  provision/(benefit)  for income
     taxes,  (2) interest  expense,  (3)  depreciation  and amortization and (4)
     special charges. The Company considers EBITDA an important indicator of the
     operational  strength and performance of its business including the ability
     to  provide  cash  flows to  service  debt and fund  capital  expenditures.
     EBITDA,  however,  should not be considered an  alternative to operating or
     net income as an indicator  of the  performance  of the  Company,  or as an
     alternative  to cash  flows  from  operating  activities  as a  measure  of
     liquidity,  in each case determined in accordance  with generally  accepted
     accounting principles ("GAAP").

(3)  On October 29, 1996,  AOL announced that as of September 30, 1996, it would
     write off the entire amount of certain  advertising  costs  ("DMAC") it had
     previously  capitalized.  AOL stated that the  write-off  was  necessary to
     reflect changes in its evolving business model,  including reduced reliance
     on subscriber's  fees as the company  developed other revenue sources.  AOL
     had responded to the competitive environment  by adopting an  unlimited-use
     pricing  plan and, by writing off DMAC,  acknowledged  it could not rely on
     its  revenue  history  under a different  pricing  model as support for the
     recoverability of DMAC. The SEC has recently entered findings regarding its
     views of AOL's  capitalization of DMAC between July 1, 1994 and October 29,
     1996.  The SEC has  found  that AOL  could  not  reliably  forecast  future
     customer   behavorial  patterns  with  the  requisite  level  of  certainty
     necessary to justify the  capitalization of these advertising costs because
     of the volatile nature of the Internet marketplace during that time period.
     AOL has  consented  to the entry of an order  making  those  findings,  but
     neither  admits nor denies any of the SEC's  allegations or findings in the
     order. As a result of the SEC's  findings,  AOL has agreed to a restatement
     of its  financial  statements  for the years ended June 30, 1995,  1996 and
     1997,  which has been  reflected  in the  above  table.  The  impact of the
     restatement is as follows:

      Some of the present  competitors and potential  future  competitors of the
Company may have greater financial,  technical, marketing or personnel resources
than the Company. In addition, as a result of acquisitions,  certain competitors
are able to  offer  both  Internet  access  and  other  services,  such as cable
television  or telephone  service,  and such  consolidation  may  continue.  The
competitive  environment could have a variety of adverse effects on the Company.
For example, it could:

      o negatively impact the Company's ability to generate greater revenues and
        profits from sources other than online  service  subscription  revenues,
        such as advertising and electronic commerce

      o limit the Company's opportunities to enter into or renew agreements with
        content providers and distribution partners
      o limit the Company's ability to develop new products and services
      o limit  the  Company's  ability  to  continue  to  grow  or  sustain  its
        subscriber base
      o require price  reductions in the  subscription  fees for online services
        and require increased spending on marketing,  network capacity,  content
        procurement and product and features development
      o require price reductions in the Company's enterprise software products
      o result  in a loss  of  the  Company's  market  share  in the  enterprise
        software industry
      o require an increase in the Company's sales and marketing expenditures

     Any of the  foregoing  events  could have an adverse  impact on revenues or
result in an  increase in costs as a  percentage  of  revenues,  either of which
could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial
condition and operating results.

</TABLE>


      The Company generates three main types of revenues: subscription services;
advertising, commerce and other; and enterprise solutions revenues. Subscription
services revenues are generated from customers  subscribing to the Company's AOL
service and,  effective February 1, 1998, the CompuServe  service.  Advertising,
commerce and other revenues are non-subscription  based and are generated mainly
from businesses  marketing to the Company's base of subscribers and users across
its multiple brands. Advertising,  commerce and other revenues mainly consist of
advertising and related revenues,  fees associated with electronic  commerce and
the sale of merchandise.  Enterprise  solutions revenues consist  principally of
product licensing fees and fees from technical support,  consulting and training
services.

              Subscription Services Revenues

     Currently,  the Company's  Interactive  Online Services business  generates
subscription  services  revenue  primarily  from  subscribers  paying a  monthly
membership  fee.  Prior to December  1, 1996,  a  significant  portion of online
service  revenues were  comprised of hourly  charges based on usage in excess of
the  number of hours of usage  provided  as part of the  monthly  fee.  With the
introduction of flat-rate  pricing,  as described  below,  the portion of online
service   revenues  which  are  generated  from  hourly  charges  has  decreased
substantially.

     Effective  December 1, 1996,  the Company began  offering  several  pricing
alternatives  to the AOL  service in the U.S.  aimed at  providing  a variety of
price  points  designed to appeal to a wide range of  consumers.  The  Company's
current pricing options are as follows:

     o    A standard monthly membership fee of $21.95, with no additional hourly
          charges (the "Flat-Rate Plan").  Subscribers can also choose to prepay
          for one year in advance at the  monthly  rate of $19.95.  The  Company
          increased  the price of its  Flat-Rate  Plan from  $19.95 per month to
          $21.95 per month,  and the  effective  monthly rate of the annual plan
          from $17.95 per month to $19.95 per month,  effective  at the start of
          each member's monthly billing cycle in April 1998.  Those  subscribers
          who were  currently on the annual plan were not subject to an increase
          until their renewal date. These increases were implemented in order to
          fund the continued  improvement of members'  online  experience and to
          keep pace with the cost to the Company of members' increased usage.

     o    An  alternative  offering  of three  hours for $4.95 per  month,  with
          additional time priced at $2.50 per hour.

     o    An  alternative  offering  of $9.95 per month for  unlimited  use--for
          those  subscribers who have an Internet  connection other than through
          AOL and use this connection to access AOL services.

     Prior to December 1, 1996, the Company's  standard  monthly  membership fee
for its AOL service in the U.S., which included five hours of service, was $9.95
per month,  with a $2.95 hourly fee for usage in excess of five hours per month.
Existing members at December 1, 1996, could retain the $9.95 / five hour pricing
upon request. For the period July 1, 1996 through November 30, 1996, the Company
also  offered a pricing  plan which  included 20 hours of service for $19.95 per
month,  with a $2.95  hourly  fee for usage in excess of 20 hours per month (the
"Value Plan"). This plan was discontinued upon the availability of the Flat-Rate
Plan on December 1, 1996.

     Effective  February 1, 1998, the Company  offered the following price plans
for the CompuServe service:

o A standard monthly membership offering of five hours for $9.95 per month, with
additional  time priced at $2.95 per hour. o An  alternative  offering of $24.95
per month with no additional hourly charge.

    During fiscal 1999, the Company launched  CompuServe 2000 which utilizes the
same platform and  infrastructure  as the AOL service.  This service offered the
following price plans:

     o    A  standard  monthly  membership  offering  of 20 hours  for $9.95 per
          month, with additional time priced at $2.95 per hour.

     o    An alternative  offering of $19.95 per month with no additional hourly
          charge.

     At June 30,  1999,  the Company had  approximately  17.6  million AOL brand
subscribers,   including   approximately  15.5  million  in  North  America  and
approximately  2.1  million  in the rest of the world.  Also at that  date,  the
Company had  approximately 2 million  CompuServe  brand  subscribers,  including
approximately 1 million in North America and approximately 1 million in the rest
of world. At June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately 12.5 million AOL brand
subscribers,   including   approximately  11.2  million  in  North  America  and
approximately  1.3  million  in the rest of the world.  Also at that  date,  the
Company had  approximately 2 million  CompuServe  brand  subscribers,  including
approximately 1 million in North America and approximately 1 million in the rest
of world.

      For fiscal 1999,  subscription  services  revenues  increased  from $2,183
million to $3,321 million, or 52%, over fiscal 1998. This increase was comprised
of an increase in AOL subscription  services revenues of $1,020 million, as well
as CompuServe  subscription  services  revenues of $118 million,  which began in
February 1998. The increase in AOL subscription  services revenues was primarily
attributable  to a 38%  increase  in the  average  number of AOL North  American
subscribers  for  fiscal  1999,  compared  to  fiscal  1998,  as well as an 8.2%
increase  in the average  monthly  subscription  services  revenue per AOL North
American subscriber.  The average monthly subscription  services revenue per AOL
North  American  subscriber  increased  from  $17.95 in fiscal 1998 to $19.42 in
fiscal 1999. This increase was  principally  attributable to the increase in the
Flat-Rate Plan membership fee from $19.95 to $21.95,  which became  effective in
April 1998.

      For fiscal 1998,  subscription  services  revenues  increased  from $1,478
million to $2,183 million, or 48%, over fiscal 1997. This increase was comprised
of an increase in AOL subscription services revenues of $637 million, as well as
CompuServe  subscription  services  revenues  of $88  million,  which  began  in
February  1998,  partially  offset by a $20  million  decrease  in  subscription
services revenues from the Company's Internet service,  Global Network Navigator
("GNN"), which was discontinued in fiscal 1997. The increase in AOL subscription
services  revenues was primarily  attributable  to a 39% increase in the average
number of AOL North  American  subscribers  for fiscal 1998,  compared to fiscal
1997, as well as a 2.7% increase in the average  monthly  subscription  services
revenue per AOL North  American  subscriber.  The average  monthly  subscription
services  revenue per AOL North  American  subscriber  increased  from $17.48 in
fiscal 1997 to $17.95 in fiscal 1998. This increase was principally attributable
to a reduction in the amount of refunds/credits  issued to subscribers in fiscal
1998.

              Advertising, Commerce and Other Revenues

     An  important   component  of  the  Company's   business  strategy  in  its
Interactive  Online Services business is an increasing  reliance on advertising,
commerce and other revenues.  These revenues include  advertising and electronic
commerce fees, the sale of merchandise, as well as other revenues, which consist
primarily  of royalty  fees and  development  revenues,  as well as data network
service revenues generated by ANS Communications, Inc. ("ANS") (through its sale
in January  1998).  The growth of  advertising,  commerce and other  revenues is
important to the Company's  business  objectives,  as these revenues  provide an
important contribution to the Company's operating results.  Advertising revenues
are  expected to grow in  importance  as the Company  continues  to leverage its
large, active and growing user base. This user base not only includes the paying
subscribers  of the AOL and CompuServe  services,  it also includes users of the
Company's  other branded  portals and services such as AOL MovieFone,  Netcenter
(with more than 18  million  registered  users),  AOL.COM,  ICQ (with  almost 15
million  active  registered  users) and Digital  City.  Affecting  the growth in
advertising,  commerce and other revenues is the backlog  balance as of June 30,
1999,  1998  and  1997  of  $1,519  million,  $511  million  and  $180  million,
respectively. During fiscal 2000, approximately $680 million of revenues will be
generated from the June 30, 1999 backlog.

      The following  table  summarizes the material  components of  advertising,
commerce and other revenues for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

Total advertising, commerce and other revenues.......... $1,000  100.0%   $ 543  100.0%   $ 308  100.0%
</TABLE>


     Advertising,  commerce  and  other  revenues  increased  by 84%,  from $543
million in fiscal 1998 to $1,000 million in fiscal 1999. More advertising on the
Company's AOL service and Netcenter portal, as well as an increase in electronic
commerce  fees drove the  increase.  Advertising  and  electronic  commerce fees
increased  by 114%,  from $358  million in fiscal 1998 to $765 million in fiscal
1999.

     Advertising,  commerce  and  other  revenues  increased  by 76%,  from $308
million in fiscal 1997 to $543 million in fiscal 1998.  More  advertising on the
Company's AOL service and Netcenter portal, as well as an increase in electronic
commerce fees primarily drove the increase.  Advertising and electronic commerce
fees  increased  by 144%,  from $147  million in fiscal 1997 to $358  million in
fiscal 1998.

              Enterprise Solutions Revenues

     The Netscape Enterprise  Solutions business generates revenues that consist
principally  of  product  licensing  fees  and  fees  from  technical   support,
consulting  and training  services.  The Netscape  Enterprise  Group  focuses on
providing businesses a range of software products, technical support, consulting
and training  services.  These products and services enable businesses and users
to share information,  manage networks and facilitate electronic commerce on the
Internet.  In November 1998, the Company entered into a strategic  alliance with
Sun  Microsystems,  Inc.  ("Sun"),  a leader in network  computing  products and
services,  to  accelerate  the  growth of  electronic  commerce.  The  strategic
alliance  provides that, over a three year period,  the Company will develop and
market,  together with Sun, client  software and network  application and server
software  for  electronic  commerce,   extended  communities  and  connectivity,
including  software  based in part on the  Netscape  code base,  on Sun code and
technology  and  on  certain  America  Online  services  features,  to  business
enterprises.

      Enterprise  solutions  revenues  increased  by 25%,  from $365  million in
fiscal 1998 to $456 million in fiscal 1999.  The increase was due to an increase
in product sales related to server  applications and consulting services coupled
with the  decline  in  revenues  in fiscal  1998 due to  offering  the  Netscape
Communicator client software,  including the Netscape Navigator browser for free
starting in January 1998.

      Enterprise  solutions  revenues  decreased  by 11%,  from $411  million in
fiscal 1997 to $365 million in fiscal 1998. The decrease was due to offering the
Netscape Communicator client software,  including the Netscape Navigator browser
for free  starting in January  1998,  offset by an 18% increase in product sales
related to server applications and consulting services.

              Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues includes  network-related  costs,  consisting primarily of
data network costs,  personnel and related costs  associated  with operating the
data centers, data network and providing customer support, consulting, technical
support/training  and billing,  host computer and network  equipment  costs, the
costs of merchandise  sold,  royalties paid to information and service providers
and royalties paid for licensed technologies.

     Since  the  introduction  of the  Flat-Rate  Plan  for the AOL  service  in
December  1996, the Company has  experienced a significant  increase in both: 1)
subscriber usage,  which is mainly due to the growth of the subscriber base, and
2) the average  monthly usage per subscriber as subscribers  spend more and more
time online. These increases have the potential to increase network cost on both
an absolute  dollar basis,  as well as a percentage of revenue basis.  While the
growth in subscriber  usage and the related costs  generally are consistent with
the  increases  in  subscription  service  revenues,  the  increase in usage and
related costs per subscriber  could impact  operating  margins.  Average monthly
subscriber  usage in the first quarter of fiscal 1997,  the last quarter  before
the  introduction  of flat-rate  pricing,  was  approximately 7 hours. In fiscal
1998,  average monthly  subscriber usage ranged between 20 and 23 hours, and was
approximately  22 hours in the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1998.  In fiscal 1999,
average  monthly  subscriber  usage  ranged  between  24 and 27  hours  and  was
approximately  27 hours in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1999.  The Company has,
and plans to continue to minimize the impact of the aforementioned  increases by
increasing  advertising,  commerce and other  revenues  and by reducing  network
costs,  on a relative  basis  (either on a per-hour  basis or as a percentage of
total revenues).  An important factor in reducing network costs is the reduction
of the costs of operating  the  Company's  data  network,  on a per-hour  basis,
through volume discounts and more efficient utilization of AOLnet, the Company's
TCP/IP network. The Company expects that the growth in advertising, commerce and
other revenues,  assuming such growth  continues,  will provide the Company with
the opportunity and flexibility to fund the costs  associated with the increased
usage resulting from flat-rate pricing, as well as programs designed to grow the
subscriber base and meet other business objectives.

     For fiscal 1999,  cost of revenues  increased from $1,811 million to $2,657
million,  or 47%,  over fiscal 1998,  and  decreased  as a  percentage  of total
revenues  from 58.6% to 55.6%.  The  increase in cost of revenues in fiscal 1999
was primarily attributable to increases in data network costs, host computer and
network  equipment  costs  and  personnel  and  related  costs  associated  with
operating  the  data  centers,   data  network,   providing   customer  support,
consulting, technical support/training and billing. Data network costs increased
primarily as a result of the larger member base and more usage per member.  Host
computer and network  equipment  costs,  consisting of lease,  depreciation  and
maintenance  expenses,  increased as a result of  additional  host  computer and
network  equipment,  necessitated  by the larger  member  base and more usage by
members. Personnel and related costs associated with operating the data centers,
data network,  providing  customer support and billing increased  primarily as a
result of the requirements of supporting a larger data network,  a larger member
base and increased  subscription services revenues.  Personnel and related costs
associated  with  consulting  and  technical  support/training  increased due to
providing additional customer support and professional services. The decrease in
cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to
growth of the higher margin advertising, commerce and other revenues, as well as
a decrease in  network-related  costs as a percentage of  subscription  services
revenue.

      For fiscal 1998, cost of revenues  increased from $1,162 million to $1,811
million,  or 56%,  over fiscal 1997,  and  increased  as a  percentage  of total
revenues  from 52.9% to 58.6%.  The  increase in cost of revenues in fiscal 1998
was primarily attributable to increases in data network costs, host computer and
network  equipment  costs  and  personnel  and  related  costs  associated  with
operating  the  data  centers,   data  network,   providing   customer  support,
consulting, technical support/training and billing. Data network costs increased
primarily as a result of the larger member base and more usage per member.  Host
computer and network  equipment  costs,  consisting of lease,  depreciation  and
maintenance  expenses,  increased as a result of  additional  host  computer and
network  equipment,  necessitated  by the larger  member  base and more usage by
members. Personnel and related costs associated with operating the data centers,
data network,  providing  customer support and billing increased  primarily as a
result of the requirements of supporting a larger data network,  a larger member
base and increased  subscription services revenues.  Personnel and related costs
associated  with  consulting  and  technical  support/training  increased due to
providing additional customer support and professional services. The increase in
cost of  revenues,  as a  percentage  of  total  revenues,  in  fiscal  1998 was
primarily  attributable to an increase,  as a percentage of total  revenues,  in
host computer and network  equipment costs coupled with the decrease in revenues
related to the high margin Netscape  Communicator client software (including the
Netscape Navigator  browser) partially offset by a decrease,  as a percentage of
total revenues, in royalties paid to information and service providers.

              Sales and Marketing

     Sales and  marketing  expenses  include  the costs to  acquire  and  retain
subscribers,  the  operating  expenses  associated  with the sales and marketing
organizations and other general marketing costs.

     Marketing expenses have declined as a percentage of revenues primarily as a
result of the improved value proposition offered by flat-rate pricing, which has
resulted in improved subscriber  acquisition and retention rates, as compared to
rates achieved prior to flat-rate pricing.  The Company's  marketing strategy is
expected to continue to emphasize  brand  advertising  across multiple brands as
well as cost-effective  bundling  agreements,  where the Company's  products are
widely distributed with new personal computers, the Windows operating system and
other peripheral computer equipment and software. Additionally, the Company will
continue to market its products via direct mail programs.

     For fiscal 1999, sales and marketing  expenses  increased from $623 million
to $808  million,  or 30%,  over fiscal 1998,  and  decreased as a percentage of
total revenues from 20.2% to 16.9%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses
for fiscal 1999 was mainly  attributable  to an  increase  in direct  subscriber
acquisition  costs, brand advertising across multiple brands and personnel costs
associated with expanding the Netscape  Enterprise  business.  The decrease as a
percentage of total revenues was primarily a result of the substantial growth in
revenues.

     For fiscal 1998, sales and marketing  expenses  decreased from $679 million
to $623  million,  or 8.2%,  over fiscal 1997,  and decreased as a percentage of
total revenues from 30.9% to 20.2%. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses
for  fiscal  1998  was  primarily  attributable  to  a  decrease  in  subscriber
acquisition costs, partially offset by an increase in costs related to Netcenter
staffing  and related  sales  commissions.  The Company was able to decrease its
subscriber  acquisition  costs  primarily  as a  result  of the  improved  value
proposition  offered  by  flat-rate  pricing,  which has  resulted  in  improved
acquisition  and  retention  rates,  as  compared  to  rates  achieved  prior to
flat-rate pricing.

              Product Development

     Product  development  costs  consist of  personnel  and  related  costs for
research and  development  efforts and other  product  development  costs either
prior to the development effort reaching  technological  feasibility or once the
product has reached the maintenance phase of its life cycle.

     For fiscal 1999,  product  development costs increased from $239 million to
$286 million,  or 20%, over fiscal 1998,  and decreased as a percentage of total
revenues  from 7.7% to 6.0%.  The  increase  in  product  development  costs was
primarily  due to an increase in the number of  technical  employees  to support
additional  products across multiple brands. The decrease in product development
costs  as a  percentage  of  total  revenues  was  primarily  a  result  of  the
substantial growth in revenues.

     For fiscal 1998,  product  development costs increased from $195 million to
$239 million,  or 23%, over fiscal 1997,  and decreased as a percentage of total
revenues  from 8.9% to 7.7%.  The  increase  in  product  development  costs was
primarily  due to an increase in personnel  costs  resulting  from the Company's
acquisitions of Actra Business Systems LLC ("Actra"),  KIVA Software Corporation
("KIVA")  and the  online  service  of  CompuServe  (see  Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). The decrease in product development costs as
a percentage of total revenues was primarily a result of the substantial  growth
in revenues.

              General and Administrative

     For fiscal 1999,  general and  administrative  expenses increased from $328
million to $408 million, or 24%, over fiscal 1998, and decreased as a percentage
of total revenues from 10.6% to 8.5%. The increase in general and administrative
costs for fiscal 1999, was primarily  attributable  to higher  personnel  costs,
including  payroll taxes  associated with employee stock option  exercises.  The
decrease in general and  administrative  costs as a percentage of total revenues
was primarily attributable to the substantial growth in revenues.

     For fiscal 1998,  general and  administrative  expenses increased from $220
million to $328 million,  or 49%, over fiscal 1997, and increased  slightly as a
percentage of total  revenues  from 10.0% to 10.6%.  The increase in general and
administrative  costs for fiscal 1998,  and such costs as a percentage  of total
revenues,  was primarily  attributable  to higher  personnel and related  costs,
which included compensatory stock options and other charges primarily related to
the sale of ANS, as well as increases in professional fees,  principally related
to legal matters.

              Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     Amortization  of goodwill  and other  intangible  assets  increased  to $65
million in fiscal  1999 from $24 million in fiscal 1998 and $6 million in fiscal
1997.  The  increase in  amortization  expense over the three years is primarily
attributable  to goodwill  associated with the  acquisitions of Mirabilis,  Ltd.
("Mirabilis") in June 1998, CompuServe in January 1998, DigitalStyle Corporation
("DigitalStyle") and Portola Communications,  Inc. ("Portola") in June 1997, and
Actra in December  1997, as well as purchases of various  companies  made by the
Company in late fiscal 1997 and early  fiscal  1998.  The  increase is partially
offset by a decrease in goodwill amortization  resulting from the disposition of
ANS in  January  1998  and the  shutdown  of GNN in the  Company's  fiscal  1997
restructuring.

              Acquired In-Process Research and Development

     The Company incurred a total of $94 million in acquired in-process research
and development charges in fiscal 1998 related to the acquisitions of Mirabilis,
Actra,   Personal  Library   Software,   Inc.   ("PLS")  and  NetChannel,   Inc.
("NetChannel").

     In June 1998, the Company acquired the assets,  including the developmental
ICQ instant communications and chat technology,  and assumed certain liabilities
of  Mirabilis.   The  ICQ  technology  is  an  enabling  technology  for  online
communication.  At the  date  of  acquisition,  Mirabilis  reported  12  million
registered trial users of which approximately half were active. The Company paid
$287  million in cash and may pay up to $120  million in  additional  contingent
purchase payments based on future performance levels. The Company's Consolidated
Statements of Operations  reflect a one-time write-off of the amount of purchase
price  allocated to in-process  research and  development of  approximately  $60
million.

     The Company  allocated the excess purchase price over the fair value of net
tangible assets  acquired to identified  intangible  assets.  In performing this
allocation,  the Company considered,  among other factors, the attrition rate of
the active users of the technology at the date of  acquisition  (estimated to be
similar  to the  rate  experienced  by the AOL  service)  and the  research  and
development  projects in-process at the date of acquisition.  With regard to the
in-process  research and development  projects,  the Company  considered,  among
other  factors,  the  stage  of  development  of  each  project  at the  time of
acquisition, the importance of each project to the overall development plan, and
the projected  incremental  cash flows from the projects when  completed and any
associated  risks.  Associated  risks  include  the  inherent  difficulties  and
uncertainties  in completing  each project and thereby  achieving  technological
feasibility  and risks  related  to the  impact of  potential  changes in future
target markets.

     During fiscal 1999, the Company incurred approximately $5 million,  related
primarily to salaries,  to develop the in-process  technology into  commercially
viable products and the Company intends to incur  approximately  $9 million more
over the next year.  Remaining  development  efforts are  focused on  addressing
security issues,  architecture  stability and electronic commerce  capabilities,
and completion of these projects will be necessary before revenues are produced.
The Company expects to begin to benefit from the purchased  in-process  research
and development by its fiscal year 2000. If these projects are not  successfully
developed,  the Company may not  realize  the value  assigned to the  in-process
research and development projects. In addition,  the value of the other acquired
intangible assets may also become impaired.

     The Company  acquired  Actra,  a developer  of  commerce  applications  for
conducting   business-to-business  and  business-to-consumer   commerce  on  the
Internet in December 1997,  PLS, a developer of information  indexing and search
technologies in January 1998 and NetChannel,  a Web-enhanced television company,
in June 1998. These transactions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  In connection  with the purchase of Actra,  the Company  recorded a
charge for acquired  in-process  research  and  development  of $14 million.  In
connection  with the  purchases  of PLS and  NetChannel,  the  Company  recorded
charges for acquired  in-process  research and development in fiscal 1998 of $10
million related to each acquisition.

     The  Company  incurred a total of $9 million  ($5  million  and $4 million,
respectively) in acquired  in-process research and development charges in fiscal
1997 related to the acquisitions of Portola and DigitalStyle in June 1997.

     The technology, market and development risk factors discussed above for the
Mirabilis  acquisition are also relevant and should be considered with regard to
the acquisitions of Actra, PLS, NetChannel, Portola and DigitalStyle.

              Merger, Restructuring and Contract Termination Charges

     In fiscal  1999,  the Company  recognized  charges that totaled $95 million
related to restructurings and mergers.

     o    In connection with the mergers of MovieFone,  Inc.,  Spinner  Networks
          Incorporated,  NullSoft,  Inc. and AtWeb,  Inc.  the Company  recorded
          direct merger-related costs of $17 million.
     o    In connection  with plans announced and implemented in March 1999, the
          Company  recorded a charge of $78 million for direct costs  related to
          the merger with  Netscape and the  Company's  reorganization  plans to
          integrate  Netscape's  operations  and build on the  strengths  of the
          Netscape brand and capabilities as well as the merger with When, Inc.

     In fiscal 1998, the Company  recognized net charges of $75 million  related
to restructurings and mergers.

     o    In connection with a  restructuring  plan adopted in the third quarter
          of fiscal  1998,  the  Company  recorded a $35  million  restructuring
          charge  associated  with the  restructuring  of its AOL Studios  brand
          group.  The  restructuring  included  the exiting of certain  business
          activities,  the  termination of  approximately  160 employees and the
          shutdown of certain subsidiaries and facilities.
     o    At the end of the second and beginning of the third quarters of fiscal
          1998, the Company recorded a $35 million  restructuring charge related
          to the implementation of certain  restructuring actions mainly related
          to the  Enterprise  Solution  business.  These  actions  were aimed at
          reducing  its  cost  structure,   improving  its  competitiveness  and
          restoring sustainable  profitability.  The restructuring plan resulted
          from decreased demand for certain Enterprise products and the adoption
          of a new strategic direction.  The restructuring  included a reduction
          in the workforce (approximately 400 employees), the closure of certain
          facilities,  the  write-off  of  non-performing  operating  assets and
          third-party   royalty   payment   obligations   relating  to  canceled
          contracts.
     o    In the fiscal year ended 1998, the Company  recognized merger costs of
          $6 million  related to the  acquisition of Kiva Software  Corporation,
          consisting  mainly  of  investment   banking,   legal  and  accounting
          services.
     o    In connection with a restructuring  plan adopted in the second quarter
          of fiscal  1997,  the  Company  recorded a $49  million  restructuring
          charge  associated with the Company's  change in business  model,  the
          reorganization   of  the  Company  into  three  operating  units,  the
          termination of approximately 300 employees and the shutdown of certain
          operating  divisions  and  subsidiaries.  As of the first  quarter  of
          fiscal 1998,  substantially  all of the  restructuring  activities had
          been  completed  and the Company  reversed $1 million of the  original
          restructuring accrual in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

     In fiscal 1997, the Company  recognized net charges of $73 million  related
to restructurings and contract terminations.

     o    In connection with a restructuring  plan adopted in the second quarter
          of fiscal  1997,  the  Company  recorded a $49  million  restructuring
          charge  associated with the Company's  change in business  model,  the
          reorganization   of  the  Company  into  three  operating  units,  the
          termination of approximately 300 employees and the shutdown of certain
          operating divisions and subsidiaries.
     o    In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company  recorded a contract
          termination  charge of $24 million,  which  consists of  unconditional
          payments  associated with  terminating  certain  information  provider
          contracts,  which  became  uneconomic  as a  result  of the  Company's
          introduction of flat-rate pricing in December 1996.

     Refer to Notes 4 and 5 of the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements
for further information related to the restructurings, contract terminations and
merger costs.

              Settlement Charges

     In fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a net settlement charge of $18 million
in connection  with the  settlement of the Orman v. America  Online,  Inc. class
action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
alleging  violations of federal  securities laws between August 1995 and October
1996.  Included  in the net  settlement  charge is an estimate of $17 million in
insurance receipts.

     In fiscal 1997, the Company recorded a settlement  charge of $24 million in
connection with a legal settlement  reached with various State Attorneys General
and a preliminary legal settlement reached with various class action plaintiffs,
to  resolve  potential  claims  arising  out of the  Company's  introduction  of
flat-rate pricing and its representation  that it would provide unlimited access
to  subscribers.  Pursuant  to these  settlements,  the  Company  agreed to make
payments to  subscribers,  according to their usage of the AOL service,  who may
have been injured by their reliance on the Company's claim of unlimited  access.
These  payments do not represent  refunds of online  service  revenues,  but are
rather  the  compromise  and  settlement  of  allegations   that  the  Company's
advertising  of unlimited  access  under its  flat-rate  pricing  plan  violated
consumer  protection  laws.  In the second  quarter of fiscal 1998,  the Company
revised its estimate of the total liability  associated with these matters,  and
reversed $1 million of the original settlement accrual.

                  Other Income, net

     Other income, net consists primarily of investment income and non-operating
gains net of interest expense and non-operating  charges.  The Company had other
income  of $638  million  and $30  million  in  fiscal  1999  and  fiscal  1998,
respectively.  The  increase  in other  income  in  fiscal  1999  was  primarily
attributable to a net gain of approximately  $567 million on the sale of Excite,
Inc.  investments.  The additional  increase is mainly due to an increase in net
interest  income and a  reduction  of  non-operating  losses  related to various
investments.  The  Company  had other  income of $30  million and $10 million in
fiscal 1998 and fiscal  1997,  respectively.  The  increase  in other  income in
fiscal  1998  was  primarily  attributable  to  gains  on the  sale  of  certain
available-for-sale  securities  and increases in net interest  income  partially
offset by decreases in the  allocation  of losses to minority  stockholders  and
increases in non-operating losses related to various investments.

                  (Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes

     The (provision)  benefit for income taxes was $(334), $16 and $(10) million
in fiscal  1999,  fiscal 1998 and fiscal  1997,  respectively.  The  substantial
increase in the  provision for income taxes in fiscal 1999 is a direct result of
the Company's increase in pre-tax income. For additional  information  regarding
income  taxes,  refer  to  Note  14  of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

(1)  In fiscal  1999,  Enterprise  Solutions  and  Interactive  Online  Services
     include $5 million and $60  million,  respectively,  of goodwill  and other
     intangible assets amortization.

(2)  Other  consists  of all  special  items;  merger,  restructuring,  contract
     termination,  acquired  in-process  research and development and settlement
     charges.

     For an overview of the segment revenues,  refer to the consolidated results
of operations discussion earlier in this section.

     Interactive  Online  Services  income from  operations  increased  from $57
million in fiscal 1997 to $412 million in fiscal 1998 and $955 million in fiscal
1999.  These  increases  are  mainly  the result of  increases  in  subscription
services and  advertising,  commerce and other  revenues  coupled with  improved
margins and a decrease in  marketing  expenses  (as a  percentage  of  revenues)
resulting from the improved value proposition offered by flat-rate pricing.

      Enterprise  Solutions  income (loss) from  operations  decreased  from $98
million in fiscal 1997 to a loss of $(18)  million in fiscal 1998 and  increased
to income of $6 million in fiscal 1999.  The  decrease  from fiscal 1997 to 1998
was  mainly a result of  offering  the  Netscape  Communicator  client  software
(including  the Netscape  Navigator  browser) for free starting in January 1998.
The increase from fiscal 1998 to 1999 was mainly attributable to the increase in
revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company is currently  financing its operations  primarily  through cash
generated from operations.  During fiscal 1999, the Company  generated more than
$1 billion in cash from operations.  In addition, the Company has generated cash
from the sale of its capital stock, the sale of its convertible notes as well as
the sale of  marketable  securities  it  held.  The  Company  has  financed  its
investments in  telecommunications  equipment  principally through leasing.  Net
cash provided by operating activities was $1,099 million,  $437 million and $131
million in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and increased primarily due
to the Company's increase in net income.  Net cash used in investing  activities
was $1,776  million,  $531 million and $367 million in fiscal 1999,  fiscal 1998
and fiscal 1997, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities
is mainly due to the  Company's  $1.5  billion  investment  in a General  Motors
equity  security  related to the  strategic  alliance  the Company  entered with
Hughes Electronics Corporation ("Hughes").  For additional information regarding
this  investment,  refer to Note 8 of the  Notes to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.  The increase in cash used in investing activities was offset by net
proceeds  of  approximately  $600  million  related to the sale of Excite,  Inc.
investments  during fiscal 1999.  Net cash provided by financing  activities was
$887  million,  $580 million and $250  million in fiscal  1999,  fiscal 1998 and
fiscal 1997, respectively. Included in financing activities for the fiscal 1999,
were $550 million in aggregate net proceeds from a public stock  offering of its
common stock.

     The Company uses its working capital to finance  ongoing  operations and to
fund  marketing and the  development  of its products and services.  The Company
plans to  continue  to invest in  subscriber  acquisition,  retention  and brand
marketing to expand its  subscriber  base, as well as in network,  computing and
support  infrastructure.  Additionally,  the Company expects to use a portion of
its cash for the acquisition and subsequent  funding of  technologies,  content,
products or businesses  complementary  to the Company's  current  business.  The
Company anticipates that cash on hand and cash provided by operating  activities
will be  sufficient  to fund its  operations  for the next  twelve  months.  The
Company  currently  has  approximately  $450  million  available  under  a shelf
registration  filed in June 1998. In May 1999,  the Company filed a registration
statement  to raise an  additional  $4.5 billion by sale of the  Company's  debt
securities,  common stock, preferred stock depositary shares,  warrants or stock
purchase  contracts  to purchase  common  stock or  preferred  stock.  The total
offering  price of these  securities,  in the  aggregate,  will  not  exceed  $5
billion.

     At June 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $254 million, compared
to working  capital of $108 million at June 30, 1998.  In addition,  the Company
had investments  including  available-for-sale  securities of $2,151 million and
$531 million at June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Current assets increased
by $716 million,  from $1,263 million at June 30, 1998 to $1,979 million at June
30, 1999,  while  current  liabilities  increased by $570  million,  from $1,155
million to $1,725 million, over this same period. The increase in current assets
was primarily  attributable  to an increase in cash and  short-term  investments
resulting from cash generated by operations.  The change in current  liabilities
was due to  increases  in other  accrued  expenses  and  liabilities,  primarily
related to an increase in accrued  telecommunications costs, as well an increase
in deferred revenues.

     During  July  1998,  the  Company  improved  its cash and  working  capital
balances as a result of a public  offering  of common  stock.  The Company  sold
43,120,000  shares of common  stock and  raised a total of $550  million  in new
equity which was used to fund general corporate purposes.  In November 1997, the
Company sold $350 million of 4% Convertible  Subordinated Notes due November 15,
2002 (the "Notes"). The Notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at
a conversion rate of 153.27504  shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal
amount of the Notes  (equivalent  to a conversion  price of $6.52422 per share),
subject  to  adjustment  in  certain  events.  Interest  on the Notes is payable
semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 1998.
The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company on or after  November 14,
2000, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Notes.

     In June 1998, the Company purchased Mirabilis for $287 million in cash (and
contingent purchase price payments of up to $120 million) and NetChannel for $16
million in cash. For additional  information  regarding these acquisitions,  see
Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In January 1998, the Company consummated a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the
"Purchase and Sale") by and among the Company, ANS Communications, Inc. ("ANS"),
a  then  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  the  Company,  and  MCI  WorldCom,  Inc.
("WorldCom")  pursuant to which the Company  transferred  to WorldCom all of the
issued and outstanding  capital stock of ANS in exchange for the online services
business of  CompuServe  Corporation  ("CompuServe"),  which was acquired by MCI
WorldCom  shortly  before the  consummation  of the Purchase and Sale,  and $147
million  in  cash  (excluding  $15  million  in  cash  received  as  part of the
CompuServe online services business and after purchase price adjustments made at
closing).  Immediately  after the  consummation  of the Purchase  and Sale,  the
Company's European partner,  Bertelsmann AG, paid $75 million to the Company for
a 50%  interest  in a newly  created  joint  venture to operate  the  CompuServe
European online service. Each company invested an additional $25 million in cash
in this joint  venture.  The  Company  generated  $207  million in net cash as a
result of the aforementioned transactions.

     The Company enters into  multiple-year  data  communications  agreements in
order to support AOLnet.  In connection with those  agreements,  the Company may
commit to purchase  certain  minimum data  communications  services.  Should the
Company not require the delivery of such  minimums,  the Company's per hour data
communications  costs may increase.  For  additional  information  regarding the
Company's  commitments,  see  Note 11 of the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

     In May 1996,  the Company  entered into a joint  venture with Mitsui & Co.,
("Mitsui") and Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. ("Nikkei") to offer interactive online
services in Japan.  In  connection  with the  agreement,  the  Company  received
approximately  $28 million  through the sale of convertible  preferred  stock to
Mitsui.  The  preferred  stock  had  an  aggregate  liquidation   preference  of
approximately  $28  million  and  accrued  dividends  at a rate of 4% per annum.
Accrued  dividends  could be paid in the form of additional  shares of preferred
stock.  During May 1998, the preferred  stock,  together with accrued but unpaid
dividends, was converted into 3,136,000 shares of common stock based on the fair
market value of common stock at the time of conversion.

     The Company  leases the  majority  of its  equipment  under  non-cancelable
operating leases. It is building AOLnet,  its data  communications  network,  as
well as  expanding  its data  center  capacity.  The  buildout of AOLnet and the
expansion  of  data  center  capacity  requires  a  substantial   investment  in
telecommunications  and server  equipment.  The Company plans to continue making
significant   investments   in  these  areas.   The  Company  is  funding  these
investments,  which are anticipated to total  approximately $1 billion in fiscal
2000, through a combination of leases, debt financing and cash purchases.

Earning Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")

     The following  table and discussion  summarizes  EBITDA for the years ended
June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997:

                                                  Years ended June 30,

                                                                    --Restated--

                                        ------------  ------------  ------------
                                                  (Amounts in millions)

EBITDA................................      $968         $302          $40

     The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus: (1)  provision/(benefit) for
income taxes,  (2) interest  expense,  (3) depreciation and amortization and (4)
special charges. EBITDA is presented and discussed because the Company considers
EBITDA an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its
business  including  the ability to provide  cash flows to service debt and fund
capital expenditures.  EBITDA,  however, should not be considered an alternative
to operating or net income as an indicator of the performance of the Company, or
as an  alternative  to cash  flows  from  operating  activities  as a measure of
liquidity,  in each  case  determined  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP").

     For fiscal 1999, EBITDA increased from $302 million to $968 million or 221%
over fiscal 1998.  For fiscal 1998,  EBITDA  increased  from $40 million to $302
million or 655%.  The  increase  from  fiscal  1998 to 1999 is mainly due to the
significant increase in income before taxes (excluding special charges) from $96
million in fiscal 1998 to $649  million in fiscal 1999 as well as an increase of
approximately  $100 million in depreciation and amortization.  The increase from
fiscal  1997  to 1998 is due to the  increase  in  income  (loss)  before  taxes
(excluding  special charges) from $(55) million in fiscal 1997 to $96 million in
fiscal 1998 as well as an increase of approximately $100 million in depreciation
and amortization.

Seasonality

     The growth in subscriber  acquisitions  and usage in the  Company's  online
services  appears to be highest in the second and third  fiscal  quarters,  when
sales of new  computers  and  computer  software  are highest due to the holiday
season and following the holiday  season,  when new computer and software owners
are discovering Internet online services while spending more time indoors due to
winter weather.  However,  the Company does not  definitively  know whether such
increases in subscriber  acquisitions  and usage are primarily  attributable  to
seasonal factors or to increased demand for Internet online services as a result
of the growing market demand and utility for such services.

     Since making advertising  revenue a key component of the Company's strategy
in its  Interactive  Online  Services  business,  the  Company  has  experienced
difficulty in  distinguishing  seasonality in advertising sales from the overall
market growth.  Seasonal  factors seem to be mitigated by  advertisers'  growing
interest in the overall online medium as well as gaining access to the Company's
large and growing  subscriber/user  base across  multiple  branded  distribution
channels.  When the online  advertising  industry matures and online advertising
budgets  experience normal growth, the Company expects to experience the effects
of seasonality in securing advertising commitments.

Year 2000 Compliance

     The Company utilizes a significant number of computer software programs and
operating systems across its entire organization, including applications used in
operating its online services and Web sites, the proprietary software of the AOL
and  CompuServe  services,  Netscape  software  products,  member  and  customer
services,   network  access,  content  providers,  joint  ventures  and  various
administrative  and billing  functions.  To the extent  that these  applications
contain  source codes that are unable to  appropriately  interpret  the upcoming
calendar year 2000, some level of modification, or even possibly replacement may
be necessary.

     In 1997,  the Company  appointed a Year 2000 Task Force to perform an audit
to assess  the scope of the  Company's  risks  and bring its  applications  into
compliance. This Task Force oversees testing and is continuing its assessment of
the Company's company-wide compliance. The Company's system hardware components,
client and host software,  current  versions of Netscape  software  products and
corporate business and information  systems are currently  undergoing review and
testing.  To date, the Company has experienced few problems related to Year 2000
testing,  and the problems that have been identified are in the process of being
addressed.

     The Company  intends to make Year 2000  compliant  certain  versions of the
client  software  for the  AOL  service  and the  CompuServe  service  that  are
available on the Windows and Macintosh operating systems, as well as versions of
Netscape software products that are currently shipped. While the majority of AOL
and CompuServe members use proprietary client software that will be compliant, a
third-party  internet  browser  utilized in most versions of the client software
may not be Year 2000  compliant.  A free patch or upgrade  will be required  for
members  using some  versions of the client  software or browser to achieve Year
2000 compliance. In the coming months, the Company will encourage members of its
online  services to upgrade their browser and/or their software to versions that
are  expected to be Year 2000  compliant,  if they have not already done so. The
Company will make available to members, and communicate that availability,  free
patches or upgrades that can be downloaded from the online services. The Company
has not tested,  and does not expect to certify as Year 2000 compliant,  certain
older  versions of the AOL and CompuServe  software.  The Company has developed,
and will be implementing over the remainder of the year, a communication program
that  informs  members  how to obtain  the free  patch or upgrade to a Year 2000
compliant  version  of the  client  software  or  browser.  With  respect to the
Company's  Netscape  software  business,  testing continues on currently shipped
products.  The  Company  also  will make  available,  at no  additional  cost to
customers,  any  required  patch to the versions of Netscape  software  products
currently  being shipped to customers and  communicate  their  availability.  In
addition,  the Company will be  encouraging  customers to upgrade to versions of
the  software  that are  expected  to be Year 2000  compliant,  if they have not
already done so.

     In  addition,  the Company is  continuing  to gather  information  from its
vendors,  joint venture  partners and content  partners  about their progress in
identifying  and  addressing  problems that their  computer  systems may face in
correctly  processing  date  information  related to the Year 2000.  The Company
intends to continue  its efforts to seek  reassurances  regarding  the Year 2000
compliance of vendors, joint venture partners and content partners. In the event
any third  parties  cannot timely  provide the Company with  content,  products,
services  or systems  that meet the Year 2000  requirements,  the content on the
Company's  services,  access to the  Company's  services,  the  ability to offer
products  and  services  and the ability to process  sales  could be  materially
adversely affected.

     The costs  incurred  through June 30, 1999 to address Year 2000  compliance
were approximately $11 million.  The Company currently estimates it will incur a
total  of  approximately   $20  million  in  costs  to  support  its  compliance
initiatives.  The Company  cannot  predict the outcome of its Year 2000 program,
whether  third party  systems and  component  software are, or will be Year 2000
compliant,  the costs  required  to address  the Year 2000  issue,  or whether a
failure to achieve substantial Year 2000 compliance will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business,  financial condition or results of operations.
Failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance  could result in some  interruptions  in
the work of some  employees,  the  inability  of some  members and  customers to
access the Company's  online services and Web sites or errors and defects in the
Netscape  products.  This,  in turn,  may  result  in the  loss of  subscription
services  revenue,  advertising  and  commerce  revenue or  enterprise  solution
revenue,  the  inability  to  deliver  minimum  guaranteed  levels  of  traffic,
diversion of development  resources,  or increased  service and warranty  costs.
Occurrence  of any of these may also  result in  additional  remedial  costs and
damage to reputation.

     The Company has developed a contingency  plan to address possible Year 2000
risks to its systems.  The plan  identifies  a hierarchy of critical  functions,
acceptable delay times,  recovery  strategies to return functions to operational
status and defines the core team for managing this recovery process. The Company
will continue to modify this plan to address systems of its recent acquisitions.

Inflation

     The Company  believes that  inflation has not had, and will not have in the
future, a material effect on its results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This  report and other oral and written  statements  made by the Company to
the public  contain and  incorporate  by  reference  forward-looking  statements
within the meaning of the "safe  harbor"  provisions  of the Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995.  The  forward-looking  statements  are based on
management's  current  expectations  or beliefs  and are  subject to a number of
factors and  uncertainties  that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking  statements. Such statements address
the  following  subjects:  future  operating  results;   subscriber  growth  and
retention;  advertising,  commerce  and  other  revenues;  earnings  growth  and
expectations;  development  and success of multiple  brands;  new  products  and
services  (such as AOL 5.0, and the "You've Got  Pictures,"  "My  Calendar," AOL
Search and AOL Plus features);  corporate spending; liquidity; network capacity;
new access and distribution technologies; regulatory developments, including the
Company's  ability to shape public  policy in, for example,  telecommunications,
privacy and tax areas.

     The following factors,  among others,  could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements:

          The risk that the Company and its data communications access providers
     will be unable to provide  adequate  server  and  network  capacity.  Risks
     associated  with  the  fixed  costs  and  minimum  commitment  nature  of a
     substantial  majority  of  the  Company's  network  services,  such  that a
     significant  decrease in demand for online  services  would not result in a
     corresponding  decrease in network costs. Risks related to the build-out of
     AOLnet and the  expansion  of server and  network  capacity;  the risk that
     demand  will not  develop for the  capacity  created;  the risk that supply
     shortages for hardware and equipment and for local  exchange  carrier lines
     from local  telephone  companies  could  impede the  provision  of adequate
     network  and  system  capacity;  and the risk of the  failure to obtain the
     necessary financing.

          Any damage or  failure to the  Company's  computer  equipment  and the
information stored in its data centers.

          Factors related to increased competition,  including: price reductions
     and increased spending;  inability to generate greater revenues and profits
     from  advertising  and  electronic  commerce;  limitations on the Company's
     opportunities to enter into or renew agreements with content  providers and
     distribution partners;  limitations on the Company's ability to develop new
     products and services;  limitations on the Company's ability to continue to
     grow or sustain its subscriber  base; loss of the Company's market share in
     the  enterprise  software  industry;  and an  adverse  impact  on gross and
     operating margins.

          The failure to increase  revenues at a rate  sufficient  to offset the
     increase  in  data   communications  and  equipment  costs  resulting  from
     increasing usage.

          The risk of loss of  services  of  executive  officers  and  other key
employees.

          The risk that  because of seasonal and other  factors,  the Company is
     unable to  predict  growth in sales,  usage,  subscriber  acquisitions  and
     advertising commitments.

          The  failure  of the  Company  to  establish  new  relationships  with
     electronic  commerce,   advertising,   marketing,  technology  and  content
     providers or the loss of a number of  relationships  with such providers or
     the risk of significantly  increased costs or decreased revenues needed, to
     maintain, or resulting from the failure to maintain, such relationships, as
     the case may be.

          The risk associated with accepting warrants in lieu of cash in certain
     electronic commerce agreements,  as the value of such warrants is dependent
     upon the common stock price of the warrant  issuer at the time the warrants
     are earned.

          The risks  related to the  acquisition  of  businesses,  including the
     failure  to  successfully   integrate  and  manage   acquired   technology,
     operations  and  personnel,  the  loss  of key  employees  of the  acquired
     companies and diversion of the Company's  management's attention from other
     ongoing  business  concerns;  and  the  risk  of  significant  charges  for
     in-process research and development or other matters.

          The  inability of the Company to introduce  new products and services;
     and its inability to develop,  or achieve commercial  acceptance for, these
     new  products  and  services.  The  failure  to resolve  issues  concerning
     commercial  activities via the Internet,  including security,  reliability,
     cost,  ease of use and  access.  The risk of  adverse  changes  in the U.S.
     regulatory environment surrounding interactive services.

          The failure of the Company or its  partners  to  successfully  market,
     sell and deliver its services in international  markets; and risks inherent
     in doing  business  on an  international  level,  such as laws that  differ
     greatly from those in the United States,  unexpected  changes in regulatory
     requirements,  political risks, export  restrictions and controls,  tariffs
     and other trade barriers and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

          The  Company's  inability  to  offer  its  services  through  advanced
     distribution  technologies  such as cable and broadcast,  and the resulting
     inability to offer  advanced  services such as voice and full motion video.
     The  Company's  inability to develop new  technology or modify its existing
     technology  to keep pace with  technological  advances  and the  pursuit of
     these technological advances requiring substantial expenditures.
