                     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,
       2001, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (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, 2001, options to purchase 1,194,870 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, 2001,
       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 purchase price per share of the common stock
       under the Stock Purchase Agreement was 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
       had the option to put the shares of common stock to the Company during
       the term of the Stock Purchase Agreement for $3.4375 per share. The
       officer exercised the put agreement on August 6, 2001. On that day
       another stock purchase agreement was entered into between the officer and
       the Company. The Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to the
       officer in exchange for cash of $2,000 and a note receivable, bearing
       interest at 6.33%, for $82,000. Under the terms of the new Stock Purchase
       Agreement, the officer has the option to put the shares of common stock
       to the Company during the term of the Stock Purchase Agreement for $0.42
       per share. In connection with the put option, the Company has recognized
       a non-cash compensation expense of $54,000 during the six months ended
       December 31, 2001, which was a result of the decrease in the price of the
       Company's common stock between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001.

4.     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

       In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
       No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), "Business Combinations," and Statement No. 142
       (SFAS No. 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 includes
       requirements to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for
       impairment rather than amortize them. In addition, the standard includes
       provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized
       intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing
       recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of
       previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units
       for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS
       142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill
       impairment test six months from the date of adoption.

       SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets be periodically evaluated
       for impairment based on fair market value. The Company has historically
       evaluated its intangible assets for impairment based on projected future
       cash flows.


<PAGE>

       The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 142 will
       have on its financial statements. The Company has elected to adopt SFAS
       No. 142 on July 1, 2002, and a significant impairment charge may be
       recorded at that time.

5.     Letter of Credit Security Commitment Agreement

       On September 18, 2001, the company entered into a Letter of Credit
       Security Commitment Agreement with the Company's Chairman, William O.
       Hunt, to finance an appeal bond in the approximate amount of $3.3 million
       in connection with a judgment entered against the Company. Under this
       agreement, Mr. Hunt will collateralize a letter of credit in the amount
       of $3.3 million and the Company will pay Mr. Hunt a commitment fee of 8%
       per annum, paid quarterly. If the Company reduces the collateral amount
       by substituting an alternative collateral for the letter of credit, then
       Mr. Hunt would have a ninety day option to purchase shares of common
       stock of the Company equal in value to all or a portion of the amount of
       the reduction, based on when it occurs. The purchase price would be $0.35
       per share. If a reduction occurs within the six months following the
       agreement, Mr. Hunt could purchase shares of common stock of the Company
       equal in value to one-half of the amount of the reduction, and if a
       reduction occurs after this six month period, Mr. Hunt could purchase
       shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to the full amount
       of the reduction.

       Should the letter of credit be funded in the full amount or in a reduced
       amount to pay a settlement or judgment, the Company will enter into a
       secured convertible promissory note for the funded amount. Interest on
       the note would accrue at 12% per annum and be payable quarterly during
       the first two years after issuance. The note could be converted into
       common stock within two years of issuance at the purchase price discussed
       above. If the note was not converted within two years of issuance, the
       conversion option would terminate and all principal and unpaid accrued
       interest would be payable in four quarterly payments over the third year.
       If the amount of the note is less than the full amount of the letter of
       credit, the balance would be treated as a reduction and Mr. Hunt would
       also have the purchase rights discussed above. If the Company pays the
       note prior to its maturity, Mr. Hunt would have a thirty day option to
       purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to the
       amount of the prepayment at $0.35 per share. If Mr. Hunt does not
       exercise this thirty day option, he would be issued a warrant to
       purchase, at the same price, one-half of the number of shares that were
       subject to the option. The warrant would terminate, if unexercised, on
       the second anniversary of the note issuance date.

       The obligations to Mr. Hunt are secured by the Company's assets other
       than accounts receivable. Under a registration agreement, Mr. Hunt has
       demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to any shares
       issued under the Letter of Credit Security Commitment Agreement. The
       demand registration right is subject to a 120 day deferral if the Board
       of Directors determines that such registration would be seriously
       detrimental to the Company or its shareholders.

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-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2001 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 offers a
wide array of Internet services tailored to meet the needs of individual and
business subscribers. We provide our subscribers with a high quality Internet
experience with fast, reliable service and responsive customer care. As of
December 31, 2001, we served approximately 142,000 subscribers in the
southwestern United States.

    The growth of the Internet has resulted in increased competition for
existing services and increased demand for new products and services. Increases
in demand and a surge in Internet users have fostered an increase in the number
of ISPs providing access to the Internet. Our competitors advertise in our
existing markets with aggressive new promotions or offers of free Internet
access. We believe we are well positioned to deal with these competitive forces
by continuing to build high user density and maintaining a rational business
plan.

    High user density is the cornerstone 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).

    Recent technological developments have facilitated the increased adoption of
broadband access via mechanisms such as cable, fixed/mobile wireless, and copper
pair allowing voice, video, and data to occur simultaneously over one
connection. The emergence of low-cost broadband solutions will significantly
impact the ability of many ISPs to compete. We are committed to being a leader
in offering cost effective broadband solutions to individuals and businesses.
High-speed connectivity is essential to the commercially viable deployment of
new, value-added services such as Internet telephony, particularly Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), video and audio programming distribution and other
high bandwidth applications. We believe we are well positioned to efficiently
market and deploy our broadband products due to the high density of our
subscriber base.

    Given the high level of competition in the industry for new subscribers, we
will be more selective with investing in direct response advertising. We plan to
concentrate our direct response advertising more heavily in markets where we
have established branding than in new markets.

    The execution of our acquisition strategy has increased our amortization
expense as the costs of purchasing the subscriber bases are written off. In the
coming quarters we expect to report net losses, primarily due to amortization
expense, while generating positive EBITDA. There can be no assurance we will be
able to achieve or sustain positive EBITDA or net income in the future. Recently
issued accounting pronouncements may impact the amortization or impairment
charges relative to our intangible assets.

    We have an accumulated deficit of $49.1 million at December 31, 2001 and
have had annual operating losses since inception as a result of building network
infrastructure and rapidly increasing market share.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

    Internet services revenue is derived from individual dial-up 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' dial-up connections to our
    network and (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our
    network to the Internet.

        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 30 to 36 months. 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 36 to 42 months.

    Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

<PAGE>

     Total revenue. Total revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 25.3%, to $6.5
million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from $8.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the decrease in total
revenue is attributable to the sale of DSL customers to Covad Communications
("Covad") as part of a settlement agreement with Covad.

     Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased
by $2.8 million, or 43.8%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended December
31, 2001, from $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. As a
percentage of revenue, connectivity and operations expense decreased to 54.4%
for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from 72.7% for the three months
ended December 31, 2000. These decreases are primarily due to the costs
eliminated as a result of the sale of DSL customers to Covad and our
consolidation of operations.

     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.0 million,
or 90.9%, to $45,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
$1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the
decrease relates to a reduction of television advertising in all markets.

     General and administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by
$1.0 million, or 41.7%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31,
2001, from $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. General
and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 21.5%
for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from 27.2% for the three months
ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the decrease is related to our
consolidation of operations. 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 compared
to $54,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

     Provision for bad debt. Provision for bad debt expense decreased by
$608,000, or 55.8%, to $481,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001,
compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. For the
three months ended December 31, 2000, there was a significant charge to bad debt
expense due to an evaluation of the collectibility of accounts receivable.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased
slightly by $100,000, or 2.5%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2001, from $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
2000.

     Interest expense, net. Interest expense was $151,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2001 compared to interest income of $2,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2000. The interest expense for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 is mainly due to $80,000 related to post-judgement interest on
an adverse judgement in a lawsuit and $66,000 in interest expense related to a
$3.3 million letter of credit agreement with the Company's Chairman, William O.
Hunt.

<PAGE>

     Total revenue. Total revenue decreased by $3.9 million, or 22.0%, to $13.8
million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $17.7 million for the
six months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in total revenue is
attributable to the sale of DSL customers to Covad as part of a settlement
agreement with Covad.

     Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased
by $5.1 million, or 42.1%, to $7.0 million for the six months ended December 31,
2001, from $12.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. As a
percentage of revenue, connectivity and operations expense decreased to 50.7%
for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 68.6% for the six months ended
December 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily due to the costs eliminated as a
result of the sale of DSL customers to Covad and our consolidation of
operations.

     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $2.5 million,
or 89.3%, to $343,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001, compared to
$2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the
decrease relates to a reduction of television advertising in all markets.

     General and administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by
$1.6 million, or 34.8%, to $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31,
2001, from $4.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. General and
administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 21.5% for
the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 25.7% for the six months ended
December 31, 2000. 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 compared to $54,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2001. The remainder of the decrease is related to
consolidation of operations.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by
$200,000, or 2.5%, to $7.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001,
from $8.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000.

     Interest expense, net. Interest expense was $248,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2001 compared to interest expense of only $3,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 2000. The interest expense for the six months ended
December 31, 2001 is mainly due to $160,000 related to post-judgement interest
on an adverse judgement in a lawsuit and $77,000 in interest expense related to
a $3.3 million letter of credit agreement with the Company's Chairman, William
O. Hunt.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We have financed our operations to date primarily through public and
private sales of equity securities, loans from shareholders and third parties
and revenue collections. We completed an initial public offering in December
1998 and received net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million. We used a portion
of the proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $2.1 million in
shareholder notes and certain other indebtedness

     Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.3 million and $390,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash provided by
operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was positively
impacted by $2.5 million in EBITDA and offset by an $822,000 decrease in
deferred revenue.

     Cash used in investing activities totaled $320,000 and $403,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which consisted of
routine purchases of property and equipment to expand and upgrade our network.

     Cash used in financing activities totaled $675,000 and $207,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001 consisted mainly of
payments of $575,000 to service debt and capital lease obligations.

     On September 18, 2001, we entered into an agreement with our Chairman,
William O. Hunt, in which Mr. Hunt collateralized an appeal bond with a letter
of credit in the approximate amount of $3.3 million to appeal a judgment entered
against the Company, Mr. Hunt and a former executive officer of the Company.
Internet America collateralized a portion of the appeal bond by placing $200,000
in a short term certificate of deposit required to be in place for the duration
of the appeal. There were one time transaction costs to post this appeal bond.
Annual recurring financing costs for this bond will be up to $264,000.


<PAGE>

     In addition, if the letter of credit is funded in the full amount or in a
reduced amount to pay a judgment or settlement, Internet America would enter
into a convertible secured promissory note for the funded amount. Interest would
accrue at 12% per annum and be payable quarterly for the first two years after
issuance. If the note was not converted within two years of issuance, the
conversion option would terminate and all principal and unpaid accrued interest
would be payable in four quarterly payments over the third year. In connection
with the agreement, we granted Mr. Hunt a security interest in our assets other
than accounts receivable.

     We estimate that cash on hand of $1.8 million at December 31, 2001 along
with anticipated revenues and the appeal bond financing discussed above will be
sufficient for meeting our working capital needs for fiscal 2002 with regard to
continuing operations in existing markets. Additional financing will be required
to fund acquisitions or expand into new markets.

     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 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.


"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT

     The following "Safe Harbor" Statement is made pursuant to the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of the Statements contained in
the body of this Report are forward-looking statements (rather than historical
facts) that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking

competitors, (3) we will not be able to sustain positive EBITDA, (4) we will not
keep up with industry pricing or technological developments impacting the
Internet, (5) we will not successfully integrate acquisitions, achieve further
operating efficiencies or sustain current operating efficiencies (6) needed
financing will not be available to us if and as needed, and (7) we will be
adversely affected by dependence on network infrastructure, telecommunications
providers and other vendors, by regulatory changes and by general economic and
business conditions. This list is intended to identify certain of the principal
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those

ITEM 3.  QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We do not issue or engage in trading of market-risk sensitive instruments.
We also do not purchase for investment, hedging or for purposes "other than
trading", instruments that are likely to expose the Company to market risk. We
have not entered into any forward nor purchased any futures contracts, nor
purchased any options or entered into any swaps. We invest in short-term high
grade interest bearing instruments. In this regard, our interest income is most
sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.
