                             INTERNET AMERICA, INC.
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED 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,
       1998, included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A (File No.
       000-25147) filed on May 5, 1999 and the Registration Statement on Form
       SB-2 (File No. 333-59527) filed on December 9, 1998.

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 March 31, 1999, options to purchase 1,117,468 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. As of March 31, 1999, options to purchase
       224,300 shares of common stock had been exercised.

3.     Business Combinations

       On January 29, 1999, the Company exchanged 16,910 shares of its common
       stock, par $0.01 per share, for substantially all of the net assets of
       CompuNet. On February 18, 1999, the Company exchanged 365,725 shares of
       its common stock of Internet America, Inc. for all the members' interest
       in CyberRamp. These combinations were accounted for as poolings of
       interests. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein have
       been restated to include CompuNet and CyberRamp as of the beginning of
       the earliest period presented. There were no intercompany transactions
       prior to their combination. No significant adjustments were required to
       adopt the same accounting practices. The following summarizes the results
       of operations for each of the combining companies prior to the
       combinations:

ITEM 2-

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

OVERVIEW

      Internet America, Inc. is a leading Internet service provider ("ISP") in
the southwestern United States. The Company provides a wide array of Internet
services tailored to meet the needs of individual and business customers. As of
March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately 79,000 subscribers.

      The Company's strategy of achieving a high concentration of users in
targeted markets enables substantial marketing, network and operating
efficiencies. The Company's most popular service package includes unlimited
dial-up Internet access for $19.95 a month. The Company also offers value-added
services for additional fees, including multiple e-mail boxes and personal Web
sites, as well as business services, including dedicated high-speed access and
server co-location.

      The Company completed two business combinations during the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, resulting in the addition of approximately 17,700 consumer
dial-up and broadband customers. On January 29, 1999, the Company exchanged
16,910 shares of its common stock for substantially all the net assets of
CompuNet. On February 18, 1999, the Company exchanged 365,725 shares of its
common stock in exchange for all outstanding members' interests of CyberRamp.
Each transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.

      Subscriber growth during the third quarter of fiscal 1999, excluding
business combinations, was approximately 7,800 customers. The Company expanded
service into four new markets, including San Antonio and Austin, Texas' third
and fourth largest markets.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

      The Company's access revenues are derived primarily from individual
dial-up Internet access and revenues derived from value-added services, such as
multiple e-mail boxes and personalized e-mail addresses. The Company derives
business services revenues primarily from dedicated broadband connectivity, bulk
dial-up access, web services and bulk access to newsgroups. Other revenues are
derived primarily from fees associated with advertising banners on the Company's
homepage.

A brief description of each element of the Company's operating expenses follows:

      Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs for
new customers, telecommunication costs, and wages of network operations and
customer support personnel. Setup costs include cost of diskettes and other
media, manuals, packaging and delivery costs. The Company does not defer
customer setup costs, but expenses such items as incurred. Connectivity costs
include (i) fees paid to telephone companies for customers' dial-up connections
to the Company's network and (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for
connections from the Company's network to the Internet.

      Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative, media and
production costs, and call center employee wages. These expenses include the
cost of the Company's television and billboard campaigns and other advertising.
The Company does not defer any advertising costs, but expenses such items as
incurred. 

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

      Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. The Company's data communications equipment,
computers, data server and office equipment are depreciated over three years.
The Company depreciates its furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over
five years. The costs of acquired subscriber bases are amortized over three to
five years.

       Total revenues. Total revenues increased by $911,000, or 23.7%, to $4.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from $3.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. Access revenues increased by $947,000, or
28.9%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from $3.3
million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in access revenues
is attributable to an increase in the number of dial-up subscribers from 59,100
at March 31, 1998, to 79,000 at March 31, 1999.

       Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expenses
decreased by $21,000, or 1.0%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, connectivity and operations expenses
decreased to 42.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from 53.5% for
the same period in the prior year. The decrease as a percentage of revenues is
due to cost efficiencies achieved for wages and connectivity resulting from
greater user density in existing markets.

       Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.5
million, or 241%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $627,000 for the same period in the prior year. During the three
months ended March 31, 1998, the Company concentrated marketing efforts in its
primary market, the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. For the three months ended March 31,
1999, the Company's marketing campaign included television and billboard
advertisements in a total of nine markets. Total sales and marketing expenses
for the period ended March 31, 1999, of $2.1 million included $1.9 million in
television, print and billboard advertising.

       General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
by $237,000, or 28.9%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999, from $820,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. As a percentage
of total revenues, general and administrative expenses increased by 0.9% to
22.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from 21.3% for the same period
in the prior year. The percentage increase is primarily due to professional
service fees associated with the combinations with CompuNet and CyberRamp.

       Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by
$41,000, or 8.8%, to $428,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, from
$469,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is due to fully
depreciated assets that are no longer included in depreciation expense for the
quarter ending March 31, 1999.

       Interest income and expense. The Company realized $197,000 of interest
income during the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to interest
expense of $191,000 for the same period in the prior year. The net proceeds from
the initial public offering completed in December 1998 were invested in
investment grade securities resulting in interest income of $197,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. During the three months ended March 31, 1998,
the Company had several notes payable outstanding with interest rates up to 18%,
resulting in interest expense of $191,000 for the period.

       Total revenues. Total revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 26.1%, to
$13.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, from $10.4 million for
the same period in the prior year. Access revenues increased by $2.5 million, or
28.4%, to $11.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, primarily due
to the increase in the number of subscribers from the same period in the prior
year. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had 79,000 subscribers compared to
59,100 as of March 31, 1998, representing an increase of 33.7%. Business
services revenues increased by $166,000, or 11.4%, to $1.6 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1999, from $1.5 million for the same period in the prior
year. This increase is primarily attributable to revenue associated with the
Company's web hosting service, a product that was introduced during fiscal 1999.

       Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expenses
increased by $872,000, or 16.1%, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1999, from $5.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Connectivity
and operations expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 47.8% for
the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from 52.0% for the nine months ended March
31, 1998. The decrease as a percentage of revenues is due to cost efficiencies
achieved for wages and connectivity resulting from greater user density in
existing markets.

       Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $3.1
million, or 275%, to $4.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to
the Company's continued marketing efforts in its existing markets in North Texas
and the entry into nine new markets during the second and third quarters of
fiscal 1999. Total sales and marketing expenses of $4.2 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1999, included $3.2 million in television, print and
billboard advertising.

       General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
by $720,000, or 34.3%, to $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
from $2.1 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of
revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 21.5% for the nine
months ended March 31, 1999, from 20.2% for the same period in the prior year,
primarily due to professional service fees associated with the combinations with
CompuNet and CyberRamp.

       Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by
$100,000, or 7.7%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
from $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to
additional depreciation expense resulting from routine purchases of property and
equipment.

       Interest income/expense. The Company realized $26,000 of interest income
for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, compared to interest expense of
$524,000 for the same period in the prior year. During the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, the Company had several notes payable to shareholders bearing
interest up to 18% resulting in interest expense of $524,000. The Company has
invested the net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in December
1998 in investment grade securities which generated net interest income for the
period of $26,000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company has financed its 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. The Company completed an
initial public offering in December 1998 and received net proceeds from the
offering of approximately $20.0 million. Subsequent to the offering, the Company
repaid certain indebtedness of $2.1 million. As of March 31, 1999, cash and cash
equivalents on hand totaled $16.7 million, which represents the Company's
principal source of liquidity. 

       Cash used in operating activities totaled $7,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.5
million for the same period in the prior year. Payments for advertising costs of
$3.2 million were included in the nine months ended March 31, 1999, versus
$570,000 for the same period in the prior year.

       Cash used in investing activities was $913,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999, and consisted of routine purchases of property and equipment to
maintain network reliability.

<PAGE>   11

       For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, cash provided by financing
activities totaled $17.0 million, which consisted of proceeds from the Offering
of $19.8 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options by option
holders less payments of $3.5 million to service and retire shareholder notes
and long-term obligations.

       The Company estimates that cash on hand of $16.7 million will meet its
operating needs for the next twelve months. Depending on its financial
condition, results of operations and the level of acquisition activity, the
Company may require additional equity or debt financing. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available when required. The Company
is currently in discussions with various lenders concerning a possible credit
facility, but there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into any
facility, and if so, on what terms.


YEAR 2000

       The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Date-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in system failures or miscalculations, causing disruptions of
operations, including, among others, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities.

       State of Readiness

       In order to address Year 2000 issues, the Company has developed and is
implementing a plan for the Company to become Year 2000 ready (the "Year 2000
Plan"). The Year 2000 Plan covers: (i) software products which are supplied by
the Company to its customers and (ii) the Company's information and other
systems technology. In addition, the Year 2000 Plan calls for the Company to
identify and assess the systems and services of the Company's major vendors,
third party network service providers and other material service providers
("Third Party Systems"), and take appropriate remedial actions and develop
contingency plans where appropriate in connection with such Third Party Systems.

       The Company supplies its customers with a software package that, among
other things, allows its customers to access the Company's services. The
software package consists of internally developed software which is bundled with
third party software (collectively, the "Installation Package"). The Company
believes that the current shipping version of its software package is Year 2000
ready. In addition, the Company believes that substantially all of its customer
base is presently using a version of the Installation Package that is Year 2000
ready.

       The Company continues to evaluate its information and other systems
technology to identify and eliminate Year 2000 issues in order to achieve Year
2000 readiness. The Company has performed a review of its more critical Third
Party Systems and has surveyed the publicly available statements issued by
vendors of such systems. Most of the Company's critical third-party providers
have made representations to the effect that they are, or will be, Year 2000
compliant. The Company, however, has not undertaken an in-depth evaluation of
its critical or other third-party providers in relation to the Year 2000 issue,
and furthermore the Company has no control over whether its third-party
providers are, or will be, Year 2000 compliant.

       Costs

       There are no significant historical costs associated with the Company's
Year 2000 readiness efforts and the magnitude of any future costs will depend
upon the nature and extent of any problems that are identified. These costs are
not expected to exceed $100,000.

Risks

       The failure by the Company to correct a material Year 2000 problem could
result in a complete failure or degradation of the performance of the Company's
network or other systems, including the disruption of operations, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities. Presently, however, the Company believes that its most
reasonably likely worst case scenario related to the Year 2000 is associated
with potential concerns with third-party services or products. Specifically, the
Company is heavily dependent on a significant number of third-party vendors to
provide both network services or equipment. A significant Year 2000-related
disruption of the network services or equipment provided to the Company by
third-party vendors could cause customers to consider seeking alternate
providers or cause an unmanageable burden on customer service and technical
support, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. The Company is not
presently aware of any vendor-related Year 2000 issue that is likely to result
in such a disruption. Although there is inherent uncertainty in the Year 2000
issue, the Company expects that as it progresses with its Year 2000 Plan, the
level of uncertainty about the impact of the Year 2000 issue on the Company will
be reduced and the Company should be better positioned to identify the nature
and extent of material risk to the Company as a result of any Year 2000
disruptions.

       Contingency Plans

       Due to the current stage of the Company's Year 2000 Plan, the Company is
currently unable to fully assess its risks and determine what contingency plans,
if any, need to be implemented. As the Company progresses with its Year 2000
Plan and identifies specific risk areas, the Company intends to timely implement
appropriate remedial actions and contingency plans.

       The estimates and conclusions herein contain forward-looking statements
and are based on management's best estimates of future events. The Company's
expectations about risks, future costs, and the timely completion of its Year
2000 efforts are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from what has been discussed above. Factors that could
influence risks, amount of future costs and the effective timing of remediation
efforts include the Company's success in identifying and correcting potential
Year 2000 issues and the ability of third parties to appropriately address their
Year 2000 issues.


"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
statements. With respect to such forward-looking statements, the Company seeks
the protections afforded by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These risks include, without limitation, (1) that the Company will not
retain or grow its subscriber base, (2) that the Company will fail to be
competitive with existing and new competitors, (3) that the Company will not be
able to sustain its current growth, (4) that the Company will not adequately
respond to technological developments impacting the Internet, and (5) that
needed financing will not be available to the Company if and as needed. This
list is intended to identify certain of the principal factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements included elsewhere herein. These factors are not intended to
represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in the
Company's business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
cautionary statements included in the Company's other publicly filed reports and
documents.
