                     INTERNET AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.     Basis of Presentation

       Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
       financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article
       10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
       accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect, in the
       opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair
       statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations
       for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal
       and recurring nature. These condensed financial statements should be read
       in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended June 30,
       2000, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (File No
       000-25147).

2.     Earnings Per Share

       There are no adjustments required to be made to net loss for the purpose
       of computing basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). During the
       quarter ended December 31, 2000, options to purchase 1,227,278 shares of
       common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because
       the Company incurred a net loss for the period and the effect of such
       instruments is antidilutive. During the quarter ended December 31, 2000,
       no options to purchase shares of common stock were exercised.

3.     Issuance of Shares of Common Stock

       Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into during September
       2000, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to an officer
       in exchange for cash of $2,000 and a note receivable, bearing interest at
       6.33%, for $685,500. The note provides for payment of interest on a
       quarterly basis beginning October 1, 2000 with principal due August 29,
       2007. The purchase price of the common stock under the Stock Purchase
       Agreement was based on the closing price of the common stock on the date
       the Company's board of directors approved the transaction.

       Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the officer has the
       option to put the shares of common stock to the Company during the term
       (which expires September 5, 2007) of the Stock Purchase Agreement for
       $3.4375 per share. In connection with the put option, the Company has
       recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $275,000 during the quarter
       ended December 31, 2000, which was a result of the decrease in the price
       of the Company's common stock between September 30, 2000 and December 31,
       2000.

4.     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

       In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("FAS
       133"), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was
       issued. This statement establishes standards for valuing and reporting at
       fair value all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities.
       FAS 133, as amended by FAS 137 and 138, is effective for all fiscal
       quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption
       of this Standard did not have a material impact on the Company's
       financial statements.

       On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
       Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in
       Financial Statements. SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition,
       presentation and disclosures of revenue in financial statements filed
       with the Commission and is required to be implemented no later than the
       fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have
       a material effect on the Company's financial statements

ITEM 2-

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. These statements, identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions, include our expectations
and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and
business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with
respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or
industry results, to be materially different from those described in the
forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update the forward-looking
information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such
forward-looking information. Our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 26, 2000, and other publicly filed reports discuss some additional
important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
those in any forward-looking statements.


OVERVIEW

         Internet America is an Internet service provider ("ISP") that provides
a wide array of Internet services tailored to meet the needs of business and
individual subscribers. We afford our subscribers a high quality Internet
experience with fast, reliable service and responsive customer care. As of
December 31, 2000, we served approximately 153,000 subscribers in the
southwestern United States.

         Rapid revenue growth and high user density are the cornerstones of our
business strategy. We will continue to pursue an ambitious growth strategy, but
in a controlled manner. Our goal is to rapidly create high user density in
specific markets to achieve and maintain positive EBITDA (Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization).

         The majority of our revenues are derived from dial-up Internet access.
Consumer dial-up access generates positive cash flow and remains an important
and viable part of our current business model. A key part of our strategy,
however, is to focus our efforts on building a significant portion of our total
business on broadband services, such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) access and
integrated broadband services to business customers. We are currently realizing
operational losses from our DSL initiative due to the marketing and front-end
deployment costs of these services, but management believes that operating
margins for these services will improve as our volume grows and front-end
deployment costs decline.

         On November 22, 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of
PDQ.Net, Inc., a Houston-based ISP, in exchange for 2,425,000 shares of common
stock. We also issued options to purchase 352,917 shares of Common Stock with a
weighted average exercise price of $1.62 per share in replacement of all of the
outstanding stock options of PDQ. The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase. We acquired approximately 41,400 new subscribers as a result of this
transaction. PDQ is a wholly owned subsidiary of Internet America and
constitutes the majority of our Houston operations.


STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

         Internet services revenue is derived from Internet access, including
analog and ISDN access, DSL access, dedicated connectivity, bulk dial-up access,
Web hosting services, and value-added services, such as multiple e-mail boxes
and personalized e-mail addresses.

A brief description of each element of our operating expenses follows:

         Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs
for new subscribers, telecommunication costs, and wages of network operations
and customer support personnel. Connectivity costs include (i) fees paid to
telephone companies for subscribers' connections to our network and (ii) fees
paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet.



<PAGE>   7

         Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative and
production costs, costs of media placement, management salaries and call center
wages. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

         General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative
salaries, professional services, rent and other general business expenses.

         Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Data communications equipment, computers,
data servers and office equipment are depreciated over three years. We
depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over five years.
Purchased subscriber bases and related goodwill are amortized over three years.
The assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at
estimated fair values. The excess of the cost of the net assets acquired over
their fair value is recorded as goodwill and amortized over an estimated life of
three years.

         Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

       Total revenue. Total revenue increased by $2.0 million, or 30.2%, to $8.7
million for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from $6.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1999. The increase in total revenue is
attributable to the increase in internet services revenue of $2.0 million to
$8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from $6.6 million for
the same period in the prior year. The majority of this increase in revenue is
attributable to the acquisition of PDQ and increased sales of our DSL products,
which we began offering during last fiscal year. Other revenue decreased by
$8,000 to $83,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from $91,000 for
the same period in the prior year. The decrease in other revenue is due to a
decrease in peripheral equipment sales.

       Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense
increased by $2.4 million, or 61.6%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2000, from $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31,
1999. As a percentage of revenue, connectivity and operations expense increased
to 72.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from 58.6% for the same
period in the prior year. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily
due to additional connectivity costs related to our entry into new markets and
the deployment of our DSL products.

       Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $472,000,
or 30.5%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000, compared
to $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The majority of the
decrease relates to a reduction of television advertising in all markets.

       General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased
by $1.7 million, or 92.9%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended December
31, 2000, from $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999.
General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue increased to
39.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from 26.8% for the same
period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a write off of bad
debt expense of $1.4 million taken during the current quarter. The write-off was
due to an evaluation during the current quarter of the collectibility of
accounts receivable, including consumer accounts. Delinquent accounts deemed
uncollectible were disconnected and written off, although we will continue
collection efforts on such accounts. In addition, general and administrative
expense for the three months ended December 31, 2000 includes $275,000 in
non-cash compensation expense related to an officer's stock purchase agreement.

       Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$1.5 million, or 61.3%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
2000, from $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year. All of the
increase relates to the amortization of goodwill and cost of acquired
subscribers arising from the acquisition of PDQ.

       Interest income and expense. We earned approximately $2,000 of interest
income during the three months ended December 31, 2000, compared to $13,000 for
the same period in the prior year. The proceeds from our initial public offering
were primarily expended in acquisitions and marketing, resulting in a decrease
in interest income.

<PAGE>   11

       Total revenue. Total revenue increased by $5.4 million, or 43.9%, to
$17.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000, from $12.3 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1999. The increase in total revenue is
attributable to the increase in internet services revenue of $5.6 million to
$17.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000, from $12.0 million for
the same period in the prior year. The majority of the increase in internet
services revenue is attributable to the acquisition of PDQ and increased sales
of our DSL products, which we began offering during last fiscal year. Other
revenue decreased by $187,000 to $110,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2000, from $297,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in other
revenue is due to a decrease in peripheral equipment sales.

       Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense
increased by $5.0 million, or 71.4%, to $12.1 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2000, from $7.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999.
As a percentage of revenue, connectivity and operations expense increased to
68.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2000, from 57.6% for the same period
in the prior year. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to
additional connectivity costs related to our entry into new markets and the
deployment of our DSL products.

       Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $234,000,
or 7.7%, to $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000, compared to
$3.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The majority of the decrease
relates to a reduction of television advertising in all markets.

       General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased
by $2.7 million, or 87.0%, to $6.0 million for the six months ended December 31,
2000, from $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999. General and
administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue increased to 33.6% for
the six months ended December 31, 2000, from 25.9% for the same period in the
prior year, primarily due to administrative support related to our acquisition
of PDQ. In addition, general and administrative expense for the six months ended
December 31, 2000 includes $562,500 in non-cash compensation expense related to
an officer's stock purchase agreement and $112,000 in accruals related to the
consolidation of Texas operations.

       Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$4.1 million, or 105%, to $8.0 million for the six months ended December 31,
2000, from $3.9 million for the same period in the prior year. All of the
increase relates to the amortization of goodwill and cost of acquired
subscribers arising from the acquisition of PDQ.

       Interest income and expense. We incurred approximately $2,575 of interest
expense during the six months ended December 31, 2000, compared to interest
income of $50,000 for the same period in the prior year. The proceeds from our
initial public offering were primarily expended in acquisitions and marketing,
resulting in a decrease in interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       We have financed our operations to date primarily through (i) public and
private sales of equity securities, (ii) loans from shareholders and third
parties and (iii) cash flows from operations. We completed an initial public
offering in December 1998 and received net proceeds of approximately $19.8
million. After the offering, we repaid approximately $2.1 million in shareholder
notes, and certain other indebtedness, and made several large cash subscriber
acquisitions. As of December 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents on hand totaled
$1.2 million.

       Cash provided by operating activities totaled $390,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2000, compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.3
million for the same period in the prior year. Cash provided by operating
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2000 was impacted by increased
cash flow resulting from an increase in trade payables of $2.9 million, due
primarily to increasing amounts due to telecommunications vendors for DSL
connectivity and related equipment.

       Cash used in investing activities totaled $403,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2000, and consisted of routine purchases of property and
equipment to expand and upgrade our network.

       Cash used in financing activities totaled $207,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2000 and consisted of proceeds of $46,000 from the exercise
of stock options by option holders less payments of $253,000 to service
long-term obligations.


<PAGE>   12

       We estimate that cash on hand of $1.2 million at December 31, 2000 along
with cash expected to be provided by operations will be sufficient for meeting
our working capital needs for fiscal 2001 with regard to continuing operations
in existing markets. There are, however, disputed amounts in our accounts
payable. If these accounts payable are not settled in a satisfactory manner, we
may experience a short-term liquidity problem. There can be no assurance of a
satisfactory resolution of these accounts payable.

       Additional financing will be required to fund expansion through
acquisitions and marketing. We intend to continue reduced expenditures for
television advertising during the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2001 to assist
our short-term liquidity.

       The availability of additional capital from public debt and equity
markets is currently limited due to a decline in stock prices for the entire
Internet sector. If additional capital financing arrangements, including public
or private sales of debt or equity securities, or additional borrowings from
commercial banks, are insufficient or unavailable, or if we experience
shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, we will
have to modify our operations and growth strategies to match available funding.
In such case, it is likely that our advertising expenditures would be downscaled
to a level where positive cash flows are generated from operations. We have no
long term advertising commitments.
