(1) Shares of Common Stock which may be offered by the selling stockholders
    pursuant to this Registration Statement consist of shares issuable upon
    conversion of $2,500,000 principal amount of Series B Convertible Preferred
    Stock and upon exercise of warrants ("Warrants") to purchase 250,000 shares
    of Common Stock. In connection with the sale of the Series B Convertible
    Preferred Stock and the Warrants, HomeCom agreed to file a registration
    statement covering at least 1,225,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
    conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the
    Warrants. If all the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted
    as of August 13, 1999, the conversion price would have been $4.81 per share
    of Common Stock, and 519,751 shares of Common Stock would have been issuable
    as a result of such conversion. An additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock
    would be issuable if all the Warrants were exercised, for a total of 769,751
    shares of Common Stock. This Registration Statement covers further shares of
    Common Stock in the event the actual number of shares issuable upon
    conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock increases as a result
    of adjustments in the conversion formula applicable to the Series B
    Convertible Preferred Stock to a maximum of 1,280,000 shares, and to include
    18,163 shares of common stock payable to the selling shareholders as a
    consequence of HomeCom's failure to effect this registration within a
    specified time. In addition to the shares set forth in the table, the amount
    to be registered includes an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock
    issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and
    exercise of the Warrants solely as a result of stock splits, stock dividends
    and similar transactions in accordance with Rule 416 of Regulation C under
    the Securities Act of 1933, but does not include additional shares that may
    be issuable due to the operation of the conversion formula applicable to the
    Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Rule 416 does not apply to any
    additional shares that would be issuable to holders of the Series B
    Convertible Preferred Stock as a result of changes in the market price of
    the Common Stock, and HomeCom is not relying on Rule 416 to register any
    additional shares issuable as a result of the operation of the conversion
    formula applicable to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration
    fee, based on the average of the high and low prices for the Company's
    common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market-TM- on May 21, 1999,
    in accordance with Rule 457 under the Securities Act of 1933.

(3) A registration fee of $2,245.50 was previously paid with the registrant's
    filing with respect to this transaction on Form S-3 (Registration No.
    333-79761).

    THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR
DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THIS REGISTRANT
SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS REGISTRATION
STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(A) OF
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities
and Exchange Act, including certain statements contained under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
concerning HomeCom's expectations, beliefs, or strategies regarding increased
future revenues and operations, and certain statements contained under
"Business" concerning the development and marketing of customized internet
applications and security consulting services and the effect of market
conditions and competition. When used in this prospectus, the words "believes,"
"intends," "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this
prospectus are based on information available to HomeCom on the date hereof, and
HomeCom assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the timing and
acceptance of new product introductions, the actions of HomeCom's competitors
and business partners, and those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors."

                                  RISK FACTORS

WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FINANCE OUR OPERATING LOSSES AND CAPITAL
  REQUIREMENTS

    We have incurred substantial operating losses, and we will require
substantial sums of cash in our operations for at least the next 12 months. We
may also need to spend significant amounts of cash to:

    - fund continued growth, and offset operating losses;

    - take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, such as major strategic
      alliances or other special marketing opportunities, acquisitions of
      complementary businesses or assets, or the development of new products; or

    - react to unanticipated developments or competitive pressures.

    On September 7, 1999, we announced a restructuring of our business
consistent with our core internet banking, insurance offerings, and professional
services operations. This restructuring is expected to result in a reduction of
expenses of approximately $3.5 million over the next twelve months, and a
reduction in our personnel by about 60 employees, to about 95 employees (after
taking into effect the anticipated divestiture of our security consulting and
integration division). There is no such assurance that such actions will be
sufficient. The Company currently only has sufficient working capital to last
for the next 2-3 months. If the Company exhausts its current sources of capital
and is not able to obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to
undertake additional steps to continue its operations. Such steps may include
further reduction of the Company's operating costs and other expenditures,
including reductions of personnel and suspension of salary increases and capital
expenditures. If such measures are not sufficient, the Company may elect to
implement other cost reduction actions as the Company may determine are
necessary and in the Company's best interests, including the possible sale of
certain of the Company's business lines. Any such actions undertaken may limit
the Company's opportunities to realize continued increases in sales and the
Company may not be able to reduce its costs in amounts sufficient to achieve
break-even or profitable operations. If the Company exhausts its sources of
capital, and subsequent cost reduction measures are not sufficient to allow the
Company to achieve positive cash flows, the Company will be forced to seek
protection from its creditors. The aforementioned factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements included in this registration statement have been prepared assuming
the Company is a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

    In September, 1999, HomeCom announced that it had entered into a letter of
intent with J.P. Turner & Company, L.L.C. to consummate an underwritten public
offering of $10 million of the securities

                                       4
<PAGE>
of the Company. There is no assurance that such public offering will be
successful, or that HomeCom will not exhaust its current capital resources
before the consummation of the offering.

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY

    We have a limited operating history. Our growth plans are subject to the
risks, expenses, and uncertainties frequently encountered by young companies
that operate exclusively in the new and evolving markets for internet products
and services. If we fail to achieve our growth plans, our prospects, and the
market for our shares, will be adversely affected. Successfully implementing our
growth plans depends on the following factors:

    - Our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified people;

    - Our ability to upgrade and commercialize products and services;

    - Our ability to effectively integrate the technology and operations of
      businesses or technologies we have acquired; and

    - Our development or acquisition of services or products equal or superior
      to those of our competitors.

WE EXPECT TO INCUR CONTINUED LOSSES

    As of June 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.3
million. We expect to continue to experience significant losses for at least the
next 12 months. This will be primarily due to increased sales and marketing,
product development, customer service and support, and operating costs incurred
in support of our product and service offerings. If we cannot generate
sufficient revenues to offset our operating expenses, our business and operating
results will continue to be materially adversely affected.

OUR MARGINS MAY CONTINUE TO DECLINE DUE TO PRICE EROSION

    The market for internet and intranet products and services is highly
competitive and is characterized by significant pressures to reduce prices,
incorporate new capabilities, and accelerate completion schedules. This increase
in competition has resulted in significant price competition, which in turn has
resulted in significant reductions in the average selling price of many of our
products and services, including our web site development and hosting services.
We have not been able to offset the effects of price reductions through an
increase in the number of our customers, higher revenue from enhanced services,
or cost reductions, and we expect that our margins may continue to decline. This
decline, if it continues, will negatively affect our results, and may negatively
affect the market for our shares. Our gross margins for each of the past two
years have been approximately 20%, which represents a significant decline from
the gross margins we achieved in 1996 of approximately 63%.

    There are no substantial barriers to entry in our market, and we expect that
competition will continue to intensify. In addition, we compete with many other
companies that have longer operating histories, longer customer relationships,
and substantially greater financial, management, technical development, sales,
marketing, and other resources. Many nationally known companies and regional
local companies across the country are involved in Internet and intranet
applications, including the development and support of web sites and internet
applications, and the number of these companies is increasing.

WE DEPEND UPON CONTINUED GROWTH IN USE OF THE INTERNET

    Our future success is dependent upon continued growth in the use of the
internet and the web. The internet may not prove to be a viable commercial
marketplace for many reasons, including:

    - lack of acceptable security technologies,

                                       5
<PAGE>
    - potentially inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure, or

    - timely development and commercialization of performance improvements.

    If the internet continues to experience significant growth in the number of
users and level of services, the internet infrastructure may not be able to
support the demands placed upon it, and the performance and reliability of the
web may be adversely affected.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE

    The trading price of our shares has been, and may continue to be, subject to
wide fluctuations. During 1999, the closing sale prices of our shares on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market-TM- has ranged from $3.50 to $9.6875. The stock price may
fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors such as:

    - quarterly variations in operating results,

    - announcements of technological innovations or new products and media
      products by us or our competitors,

    - changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts,

    - the operating and stock price performance of other companies that
      investors view as comparable, and

    - news reports related to trends in our markets.

    In addition, the stock market in general and the market prices for
internet-related companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility and
often have been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. These
broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the
stock regardless of our operating performance.

WE MAY NOT PROPERLY MANAGE OUR GROWTH

    Our growth has placed a significant strain on our managerial, operational
and financial resources. To manage our growth, we must continue to implement and
improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train, and manage
our employee base. Our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to
support our operations. Our management may not be able to achieve the rapid
execution necessary to support our market opportunity. Any failure to
effectively manage growth could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results, or financial condition.

WE MAY NOT PROPERLY HANDLE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS

    As part of our business strategy, we have completed several acquisitions and
expect to enter into additional business combinations to further our goal to
become a leading provider of internet software solutions for the financial
services industry. Acquisition transactions are accompanied by many risks, and
we may not be successful in addressing one or more of these risks. These risks
include:

    - the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the
      acquired companies;

    - the difficulties of managing geographically separate business units;

    - the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology or content and rights
      into our product and services;

    - unanticipated expenses relating to technology integration;

    - the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures, and policies;
      and

                                       6
<PAGE>
    - the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result
      of any integration or management changes.

Since February 1999, we have completed two acquisitions which have added
approximately 35 employees to HomeCom.

WE DEPEND ON KEY PERSONNEL

    We depend upon the continued services of our senior management for our
continued success. The loss of any member of senior management, such as Harvey
Sax, Dan Delity, David Frank, or James Wm. Ellsworth, could have a serious
negative impact upon our business and operating results. We can provide no
assurances that we will be able to retain our senior management or other key
personnel. Although we have entered into employment agreements with each of our
executive officers that contain non-competition and nondisclosure provisions,
our ability to benefit from them is uncertain because these provisions are
typically limited in geographic scope and time, and may not effectively prohibit
competition due to the global nature of the internet.

OUR AVERAGE SALES CYCLE MAY LENGTHEN

    Our development and implementation of interactive web sites and intranet
software applications involves a lengthy sales cycle, which can be as long as
six to nine months. Extensive web sites, development or licensing of our
products may also involve substantial commitment of capital by potential
customers as well as the attendant delays frequently associated with approving
larger capital expenditures and reviewing new technologies that affect key
operations. If our average sales cycle continues to lengthen, we will face
increased costs, potentially lower profit margins and a potential inability to
achieve our target and sales goals.

WE MAY INCUR LOSSES FROM DEFECTS IN OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

    Web site services and other services based on software and computing systems
frequently encounter development and completion delays. Software may contain
undetected errors or failures when introduced, especially in the case of web
sites when the volume of traffic on the site increases. Errors found in the
software, underlying web site, or other project may result in delays in
completion, commercial release, or acceptance of the software, web site, or
other project. In addition, we may incur unanticipated additional costs in order
to cure any defect or be obligated to refund money paid to us or pay for damages
caused by any delay or defect. Applications or products developed by us may
contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced. If software errors
are discovered after introduction, we could experience delays and lost revenues
during the period required to correct these errors. Despite our best efforts to
the contrary, errors may be found in new applications, products, or releases
after the commencement of installation or shipment. These problems can result in
losses, or in delays in receiving revenues.

WE MAY INCUR LOSSES FROM SECURITY RISKS

    Our software and equipment is vulnerable to computer viruses or similar
disruptive problems caused by customers or other internet users. Computer
viruses or problems caused by third parties, such as hackers, could lead to
interruptions, delays, or termination of service to our customers. Third parties
could also potentially jeopardize security of confidential information stored in
our computer systems or our customers' computer systems by their inappropriate
use of the internet, which could cause losses to us and to our customers.
Inappropriate use of the internet includes attempting to gain unauthorized
access to information or systems. Although we intend to continue to implement
security measures to prevent this, hackers have circumvented security measures
in the past, and may be able to circumvent our security measures or the security
measures of third parties in the future. Further, until more comprehensive
technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and
potential customers may

                                       7
<PAGE>
inhibit the growth of the internet service industry in general and our customer
base and revenue in particular. We do not have errors and omissions, product
liability, or other insurance to protect against risks caused by computer
viruses or other misuse of software or equipment by third parties.

WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN PROTECTING OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OR AVOIDING CLAIMS
  THAT WE INFRINGED THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS

    Our success depends in part upon our software and related documentation. We
principally rely on copyright, trade secret, confidentiality procedures, and
contract laws to protect our proprietary technology. The steps we have taken may
not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology, and our
competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technologies. We have a registered service mark
for our logo and have applied for federal registration of the names HomeCom,
Post On the Fly-TM-, and Personal Internet Banker-TM-. In addition, the laws of
some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an
extent as the laws of the United States. Although we do not believe that the
software or trademarks we use or any of the other elements of our business
infringe on the proprietary rights of any third parties, third parties may
assert claims of infringement against us in the future and may succeed in
securing injunctive relief or money damages. We could incur substantial costs
and diversion of management resources in the defense of any claims relating to
proprietary rights, which could materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.

THERE ARE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

    The market for the shares may be adversely affected as a result of sales of
a large number of shares in the market, or a perception that large sales may
occur. This could also limit HomeCom's ability to raise capital through
offerings of shares, or to effect acquisitions utilizing shares as part or all
of the purchase price.

    HomeCom has 6,669,453 shares outstanding as of July 23, 1999. Of that
amount, 3,799,646 shares, or approximately 57%, will be freely tradable without
restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any
shares purchased by affiliates of HomeCom, as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act. That number includes 626,087 shares issued in
connection with a recently completed acquisition, and HomeCom has filed a
registration statement covering those shares. The holders of those shares have
agreed not to sell one-half, or 313,043, of such shares until June 24, 1999 and
to limit sales on a cumulative basis to no more than one-sixth of these 313,043
shares during each month for the following six months. These restrictions do not
apply in the event that the shares have traded above $10.00 per share on each of
the five trading days prior to any single sale, so long as the sale is made at a
price per share of at least $10.00. We have also issued 185,342 shares in
connection with a recently completed acquisition, and we have filed a
registration statement, which is not yet effective, covering 92,671, or
one-half, of those shares.

    The remaining 2,869,807 shares, or approximately 43% of the outstanding
shares, may be sold in the public market only if registered or sold under an
exemption from registration such as Rule 144.

    In addition, there are also the following shares that may become available
for resale in the public markets:

    - There are outstanding warrants to acquire an aggregate of 468,125 shares
      at a weighted average exercise price of $8.52 per share. The shares
      issuable upon exercise of the warrants have been registered under the
      Securities Act, and will be available for resale upon issuance following
      exercise of the warrants. Warrants to acquire an additional 300,000 shares
      at an exercise price of $3.74 per share were issued in conjunction with
      the acquisition of First Institutional Marketing, Inc. ("FIMI") and
      certain of its affiliates. The shares issuable upon exercise of these
      warrants have not been

                                       8
<PAGE>
      registered under the Securities Act and are not currently available for
      resale upon issuance following exercise of the warrants.

    - There are outstanding options to purchase 892,069 shares under our
      employee stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $4.91
      per share, and 25,000 shares under our non-employee directors option plan.
      As of July 31, 1999, 9,457 shares have been issued under our employee
      stock purchase plan at a weighted average price of $2.64 per share. We
      have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act
      to register the potential sale of 300,000 shares reserved for issuance
      under our stock option plan and the 150,000 shares reserved for issuance
      under our stock purchase plan. Except for shares held by our affiliates,
      shares purchased under our stock option and purchase plans generally will
      be available for resale in the public market.

    - On March 25, 1999, we completed a private placement for cash of $2,500,000
      principal amount of our series B convertible stock and related warrants to
      purchase shares of common stock. This prospectus covers up to 1,300,000
      shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the series B preferred
      stock and exercise of the warrants. If all the shares of series B
      preferred stock were converted, and all the related warrants exercised, as
      of August 13, 1999, HomeCom would be required to issue approximately
      769,751 shares of common stock, or approximately 11.5% of the number of
      shares of common stock outstanding as of August 13, 1999. The total number
      of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion and exercise will
      vary, based upon the closing bid prices of HomeCom's common stock. The
      terms of the series B preferred stock and the warrants, including the
      conversion rights of the series B preferred stock, are more fully
      described in the prospectus under "Description of Capital Stock," in
      particular the subsections entitled "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock"
      on page 43 and "Warrants" on page 50. Pursuant to certain registration
      rights granted to the investors in the private placement, we were
      obligated to file the registration statement of which this prospectus
      forms a part, and we were obligated to pay penalties if the registration
      statement was not filed and declared effective within specified time
      periods. We are not presently in compliance with such provisions, and we
      have elected to pay such penalties by issuing investors additional shares
      of common stock. As of September 3, 1999, such penalties amount to an
      aggregate of 18,163 shares of common stock, which shares are included in
      this prospectus.

    - On July 28, 1999, we completed a private placement for cash of $3,500,000
      principal amount of our series C convertible preferred stock and related
      warrants to purchase 59,574 shares of common stock. If all the shares of
      series C preferred stock were converted, and all the related warrants
      exercised, as of August 13, 1999, HomeCom would be required to issue
      approximately 947,899 shares of common stock, or approximately 14.2% of
      the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of August 13, 1999.
      The total number of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion
      and exercise will vary, based upon the closing bid prices of HomeCom's
      common stock. The terms of the series C preferred stock and the warrants,
      including registration rights of the holders of series C preferred stock,
      are more fully described in the prospectus under "Description of Capital
      Stock," in particular the subsections entitled "Series C Convertible
      Preferred Stock" on page 46 and "Warrants" on page 50.

PREFERRED STOCK HAS RIGHTS SENIOR TO THE SHARES

    We have the right to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to
fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, which include voting
rights, of the preferred stock without shareholder approval. There is presently
issued and outstanding 125 shares of series B preferred stock and 175 shares of
series C preferred stock. The rights of holders of common stock may be adversely
affected by the rights of holders of the preferred stock, including any
preferred stock that may be issued in the future. In addition, the issuance of
additional shares of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third
party to acquire control of HomeCom, even if the change of control would be
beneficial to shareholders.

                                       9
<PAGE>
WE HAVE ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN PLACE

    Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our board is divided
into three classes of directors with each class serving a staggered three-year
term. The division of the board of directors into three classes may discourage a
third party from making a tender offer or commencing a proxy contest to obtain
control of HomeCom, and may serve to maintain the incumbency of the present
board of directors.

THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON THE LIABILITY OF OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors shall
have no personal liability for some breaches of their fiduciary duties. In
addition, our restated bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. These limitations
on personal liability do not apply to liabilities under the federal securities
laws. However these provisions may reduce the likelihood of derivative
litigation against directors and officers and may discourage stockholders from
bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for a breach of their
fiduciary duties.

THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND OTHER LEGAL
  ISSUES

    There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to
or commerce on the internet. Due to the increased popularity and the use of the
internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted, covering
issues such as:

    - user privacy,

    - defamation,

    - pricing,

    - taxation,

    - content regulation,

    - quality of products and services, and

    - intellectual property ownership and infringement.

    Legislation of this type could expose us to substantial liability. It could
also dampen the growth in use of the web, decrease the acceptance of the web as
a communications and commercial medium, or require us to incur significant
expense in complying with any new regulations. Other nations, including Germany,
have taken actions to restrict the free flow of material considered to be
objectionable on the web. The European Union has recently adopted privacy and
copyright directives that may impose additional burdens and costs on our
international operations. In addition, several telecommunication carriers,
including America's Carriers Telecommunications Association, are seeking to have
telecommunications over the web regulated by the Federal Communication
Commission in the same manner as other telecommunication services. Because the
growing popularity and use of the web has burdened the existing
telecommunications infrastructure, many areas with high web use have begun to
experience interruptions in phone service. Local telephone carriers, including
Pacific Bell, have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate
service providers and impose access fees. Increased regulation, or the
imposition of access fees, could substantially increase the cost of
communicating on the web and potentially decrease the demand for our products. A
number of proposals have been made at the federal, state, and local level that
would impose additional taxes on the sale of goods and services through the
internet. These proposals, if adopted, could substantially impair the growth of
electronic commerce and could adversely affect our opportunity to derive
financial benefit from the sale of goods and services through the internet.

                                       10
<PAGE>
THERE ARE POTENTIAL COMMERCE-RELATED LIABILITIES

    We are offering and intend to continue to offer insurance and securities
products through the internet. These activities will expose us to a number of
additional risks and uncertainties, including:

    - potential liabilities for wrongful or illegal activities that may be
      conducted in connection with the sale of securities and insurance
      products;

    - consumer fraud and false or deceptive advertising or sales practices;

    - breach of contract claims related to the sales of insurance and securities
      products;

    - claims that materials included in our sites infringe on third-party
      patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights or
      are libelous, defamatory, or breach third-party confidentiality or privacy
      rights;

    - claims relating to any failure to appropriately collect or remit sales or
      other taxes arising from commerce transactions;

    - claims that may be brought by customers as a result of losses resulting
      from any down time or other performance failures in our services; and

    - state laws limiting the sale of insurance and securities products.

Although we maintain liability insurance, insurance may not cover these claims
or may not be adequate. Even if the claims do not result in material liability,
investigating and defending claims of this type is expensive.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE MAY HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON US

    Many existing computer programs were originally designed to use only two
digits to identify a year in date fields. As a result, date-sensitive software
applications may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. If not corrected, these applications could fail or produce erroneous
results when working with dates in the year 2000 and beyond. If not properly
addressed, the year 2000 issue could have a material effect on our financial
position and future operating results.

    We rely primarily on industry standard operating systems and applications
for our internal systems rather than proprietary software, and based on review
of significant internal programs and systems, we have determined that they are
substantially year 2000 compliant. In addition, we are seeking confirmation from
our primary telecommunications service providers that they are developing and
implementing plans to become year 2000 compliant. Information we have received
so far has indicated that they are in the process of implementing remediation
procedures to ensure that their computer systems, services, or products are year
2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. However, we have not undertaken an in-depth
evaluation of these providers in relation to the year 2000 issue. In addition,
we cannot predict whether or not all of these vendors' programs will be
successful. To the extent that these vendors fail to resolve any year 2000
issues on a timely basis or in a manner that is compatible with our systems,
that failure could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and
future operating results. We are using internal resources to identify and
correct our systems for year 2000 compliance, and we expect any incremental
costs associated with addressing this issue to be minimal. We do not believe
that the costs of addressing year 2000 issues will be material to our future
operating results or financial position.

MANAGEMENT AND SIGNIFICANT STOCKHOLDERS CAN EXERCISE INFLUENCE OVER HOMECOM

    Based upon stock ownership as of August 12, 1999, our executive officers,
directors, and 5% stockholders and their affiliates own an aggregate of 38% of
our outstanding shares. As a result, these persons acting together will have the
ability to control all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval and to
control the management and affairs of HomeCom. This concentration of ownership
may

                                       11
<PAGE>
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of HomeCom, impede
a merger, consolidation, or takeover or other business combination, or
discourage a potential acquiror from attempting to obtain control. This
concentration of control could also have a negative effect on the market price
of your shares.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION

    The conversion of preferred shares in conjunction with this offering may
result in immediate and substantial dilution to the existing shareholders. To
the extent that currently outstanding options and warrants are exercised or
converted, there will be further dilution in your shares. Please refer to the
information above under "There Are a Substantial Number of Shares Eligible For
Future Sale."

WE MAY NOT MAINTAIN NASDAQ LISTING REQUIREMENTS

    If we are unable to maintain the standards for continued listing, our shares
could be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market-TM-. If our shares
were delisted, trading, if any, of our shares would be conducted in the
over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board established for securities
that do not meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market-TM- listing requirements or in what
are commonly referred to as the pink sheets. As a result, investors may find it
more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate price quotations on the
shares. Under the currently effective criteria for continued listing of
securities on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market-TM-, a company must maintain $2,000,000
in net tangible assets, a minimum bid price of $1.00, and a public float of at
least $1,000,000.

THE SHARES MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO RISKS OF LOW PRICED STOCKS

    In the absence of the shares being quoted in Nasdaq, or listed on an
exchange, trading in the shares would be covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if our shares are a penny stock. The
applicability of this rule, if it occurs, could materially adversely affect the
ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares and the ability of purchasers in
this offering to sell their shares in the secondary market.

    Under that rule, broker-dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons other
than established customers and accredited investors, who are generally investors
with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or
$300,000 together with a spouse, must make a special written suitability
determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
a transaction before the sale.

    The SEC has adopted regulations that generally defined a penny stock to be
any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share.
However, exemptions to this rule include:

    - an equity security listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market-TM-, and

    - an equity security issued by an issuer that has:

       - net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in
         continuous operation for three years,

       - net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if the issuer has been in
         continuous operation for less than three years, or

       - average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the preceding three years.

    Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery,
before any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks.

                   ISSUANCE OF SHARES TO SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

    On March 25, 1999, we completed a $2,500,000 private placement of our series
B convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase our common stock. The
preferred stock is convertible into common stock until March 24, 2002, at the
option of the holder, at a conversion price equal to the market conversion
price, but the conversion price will not exceed $5.23. Market conversion price
means the average of the closing bid prices of our stock during any four
consecutive trading days as determined by the holder during the twenty-five
consecutive trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date that a
notice of conversion is sent to us by the investor, subject to adjustment under
circumstances more extensively described in the section entitled "Description of
Capital Stock--Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" on page 43 of this
prospectus. The preferred stock is redeemable at our option beginning on the
date that this registration statement become effective with the SEC at a price

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

    Except for historical information contained herein, some matters discussed
in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company notes that a variety of
risk factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
Company's forward-looking statements. Reference is made in particular to the
discussions set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998, the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly periods ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, and the Company's
Registration Statements on Forms S-1 (File Nos. 333-12219, 333-42599, 333-45383
and 333-56795) and S-3 (333-73123).

GENERAL

    HomeCom develops and markets specialized software applications, products and
services that enable consumers and financial institutions to use the internet
and intranets/extranets to obtain and communicate important business
information, conduct commercial transactions and improve business productivity.
HomeCom's principal mission is to enable financial institutions to establish an
electronic channel to consumers and business by providing secure, innovative,
internet-based solutions to the banking, insurance and brokerage industries. As
a technology provider to this electronic channel, HomeCom intends to continually
enrich the content, host and maintain its own as well as third party software
applications, and to provide strategic consulting to financial institutions on
e-commerce and marketing. HomeCom derives revenue from software licensing,
application development, and hosting and transactions fees. HomeCom provides
internet/intranet solutions in three areas: (i) the design, development and
integration of customized software application, including world wide web site
development and related network outsourcing; (ii) the development, sale and
integration of HomeCom's existing software applications into the client's
operations; and, (iii) security consulting and integration services.

    The Company's revenues and operating results have varied substantially from
period to period, and should not be relied upon as an indication of future
results. The Company historically has operated with no significant backlog
because its services are provided as requested by customers. As a result,
revenues in any period are substantially affected by the amount of services
requested by its customers. An unanticipated termination of a major project, a
client's decision not to pursue a new project or proceed to succeeding stages of
a current project, or the completion during a quarter of several major client
projects, could require the Company to pay underutilized employees and could
therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
financial condition, and cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

    NET SALES.  Net sales increased 71.2% from $1,779,580 in the first six
months of 1998 to $3,047,393 in the first six months of 1999. Revenues from
service sales increased 82.4% from $1,619,029 in the first six months of 1998 to
$2,952,930 in the first six months of 1999. This increase of $1,333,901 is
primarily attributable to increases in custom application development revenues
of approximately $736,000, software product sales of approximately $80,000, and
insurance sales of approximately $893,000 from the FIMI acquisition, offset by
lower security services revenue of approximately $78,000 and lower hosting
revenues of approximately $309,000 due to the sale of HostAmerica in June 1998.
Revenue from equipment sales decreased from $160,551 in the first six months of
1998 to $94,463 in the first six months of 1999. This decrease of $66,088 was
attributable to decreased sales of security hardware and software.

    COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales includes salaries for programmers, technical
staff and customer support, as well as a pro-rata allocation of
telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Cost of sales for

                                       18
<PAGE>
services increased from $1,042,298, or 58.6% of revenues in the first six months
of 1998 to $1,903,090, or 62.4% of revenues in the first six months of 1999.
This increase reflects the FIMI acquisition, as well as increased costs for
technical personnel hired in advance of anticipated revenue growth, offset by
costs eliminated due to the sale of HostAmerica in June 1998.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased by $441,248 from $637,890 in the first
six months of 1998 to $1,079,138 in the first six months of 1999. Gross profit
margins were 35.4% during the first six months of 1999, compared to 35.8% during
the first six months of 1998.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses include salaries,
variable commissions, and bonuses for the sales force, advertising and
promotional marketing materials, and a pro-rata allocation of
telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Sales and marketing
expenses increased 175.1% from $595,237 in 1998 to $1,637,397 in 1999. This
increase was primarily attributable to commissions on insurance sales due to the
FIMI acquisition, as well as increased advertising, public relations, and
marketing costs. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased from
33.4% in 1998 to 53.7% in 1999.

    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  Product development costs consist of personnel costs
required to conduct the Company's product development efforts, and a pro-rata
allocation of telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Management
believes that continuing investment in product development is required to
compete effectively in the Company's industry. Total expenditures for product
development were $350,579, or 11.5% of net sales in the first six months of
1999. This compares to total product development expenditures of $220,421, or
12.4% of sales in the first six months of 1998.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses include
salaries for administrative personnel, insurance and other administrative
expenses, as well as a pro-rata allocation of telecommunications, and facilities
and data center costs. General and administrative expenses increased from
$1,914,920 in the first six months of 1998 to $2,264,722 in the first six months
of 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased from 107.6% in
the first six months of 1998 to 74.3% in the first six months of 1999, due
primarily to increases in revenues without proportional increases in general and
administrative expenses.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation and amortization of computers, network equipment, office equipment,
equipment under capital leases, and intangible assets. Depreciation and
amortization increased from $217,157 in the first six months of 1998 to $608,823
in the first six months of 1999, reflecting increased expenditures on capital
equipment and amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions
of First Institutional Marketing Inc. and Ganymede Corporation.

    OTHER INCOME.  During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company
recorded a gain on the sale of its HostAmerica division of $4,402,076.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased from $438,529 in the first six
months of 1998 to $16,153 during the first six months of 1999, principally
reflecting amortization of the discount ($122,778) and debt issue costs
($283,754) incurred in 1998 for the Company's 5% convertible debentures issued
in September 1997.

    YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    NET SALES.  Net sales increased 14.4% from $2,878,628 in 1997 to $3,292,410
in 1998. Revenues from service sales increased 5.3% from $2,792,306 in 1997 to
$2,941,047 in 1998. This increase of $148,741 is primarily attributable to an
increase in security consulting revenue of approximately $169,000. Revenues from
equipment sales increased from $86,322 in 1997 to $351,363 during 1998 due to
increased sales of security hardware and software.

                                       19
<PAGE>
    COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales includes salaries for programmers, technical
staff and customer support, as well as a pro-rata allocation of
telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Cost of sales for services
increased from $2,254,200, or 78.3% of revenues in 1997 to $2,372,617, or 72.1%
of revenues in 1998. This increase reflects increased costs for technical
personnel hired in advance of anticipated revenue growth, offset by costs
eliminated due to the sale of HostAmerica in June 1998. The decrease in cost of
sales as a percentage of revenues is due to the mix of products and services
sold.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit increased by $135,645 from $555,454 in 1997 to
$691,099 in 1998. Gross profit margins also increased from 19.3% during 1997 to
21.0% during 1998. This increase as a percentage of net sales is due to the mix
of products and services sold.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses include salaries,
variable commissions, and bonuses for the sales force, advertising and
promotional marketing materials, and a pro-rata allocation of
telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Sales and marketing
expenses decreased 7.1% from $1,499,397 in 1997 to $1,392,306 in 1998. This
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising and promotional
marketing materials. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased from
52.1% in 1997 to 42.3% in 1998.

    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  Product development costs consist of personnel costs
required to conduct the Company's product development efforts, and a pro-rata
allocation of telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Management
believes that continuing investment in product development is required to
compete effectively in the Company's industry. Total expenditures for product
development were $677,590, or 20.6% of net sales in 1998, of which none were
capitalized. This compares to total product development expenditures of
$683,488, or 23.7% of net sales in 1997, of which $168,833 were capitalized.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses include
salaries for administrative personnel, insurance and other administrative
expenses, as well as a pro-rata allocation of telecommunications, and facilities
and data center costs. General and administrative expenses increased from
$2,733,924 in 1997 to $3,406,876 in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, these
expenses increased from 95.0% in 1997 to 103.5% in 1998. These increases reflect
additional expenditures for operational and administrative support personnel
incurred to support anticipated growth, professional services for public and
investor relations, and accounting and legal support for the Company's
securities filings and divestiture activities.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation and amortization of computers, network equipment, office equipment,
equipment under capital leases, and goodwill increased from $238,537, or 8.3% of
net sales in 1997 to $542,269, or 16.5% in 1998, reflecting increased
expenditures on capital equipment and the amortization of goodwill associated
with the The Insurance Resource Center acquisition.

    OTHER INCOME.  During 1998, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its
HostAmerica division of $4,402,076 (see Note 9 to the Financial Statements
included in this prospectus).

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased from $543,420 in 1997 to
$445,216 during 1998, due to lower amortization of the discount associated with
the convertible debentures issued in September 1997.

    YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

    NET SALES.  Net sales increased 25.2% from $2,298,855 in 1996 to $2,878,628
in 1997. Revenues from service sales increased 32.2% from $2,112,878 in 1996 to
$2,792,306 in 1997. This increase of $679,428 is primarily attributable to
increases in hosting revenues of approximately $472,000 and security consulting
revenue of approximately $308,000. Revenues from equipment sales decreased from
$185,977 during 1996 to $86,322 during 1997, reflecting lower security hardware
and software sales.

                                       20
<PAGE>
    COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales for services increased from $715,377, or 31.1%
of revenues in 1996 to $2,254,200, or 78.3% of revenues in 1997. This increase
reflects higher overall payroll costs associated with increasing the Company's
technical staff to a high of approximately 60 persons in July 1997 to create
available capacity for anticipated revenue growth which did not occur. As part
of an effort to control cash expenditures, the Company subsequently reduced this
staff to approximately 30 persons by December 31, 1997.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit decreased by $899,086 from $1,454,540 in 1996 to
$555,454 in 1997. Gross profit margins decreased from 63.3% in 1996 to 19.3% in
1997. This decrease as a percentage of net sales primarily reflects increased
costs incurred by the Company for technical personnel hired in advance of
anticipated revenue growth which did not occur.

    SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses increased 55.8% from
$962,220 in 1996 to $1,499,397 in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable
to an increase in advertising and marketing expenses. As a percentage of net
sales, these expenses increased from 41.9% in 1996 to 52.1% in 1997. During the
third quarter of 1997, the Company implemented procedures intended to
substantially reduce advertising and marketing expenses.

    PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  Total expenditures for product development were
$683,488, or 23.7% of net sales in 1997, of which $168,833 were capitalized.
This compares to total product development expenditures of $163,069, or 7.1% of
sales, in 1996, of which $84,182 were capitalized. This increase was due to
increases in product development staff and expenditures for the Company's
Personal Internet Banker-TM- product.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses increased
from $909,230 in 1996 to $2,733,924 in 1997. As a percentage of net sales, these
expenses increased from 39.6% in 1996 to 95.0% in 1997. This increase as a
percentage of net sales reflects primarily increases for operational and
administrative support personnel incurred to support anticipated growth in
revenues, which did not occur. During the third quarter of 1997, the Company
implemented steps to significantly reduce its general and administrative costs.
These steps included: (i) reductions in general and administrative staff; and
(ii) reductions in public relations and other professional services.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization increased from
$85,068, or 3.7% of net sales in 1996 to $238,537, or 8.3% in 1997, reflecting
increased expenditures on capital equipment.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased from $51,272 in 1996 to
$543,420 during 1997, principally reflecting $443,889 of amortization of the
discount associated with the convertible debentures issued in September 1997.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 (January 1,
2000 for the Company). FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be
recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the
Company anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the
adoption of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on the Company's results
of operations or its financial position.

    In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral
of the Effective Date of FASB Statement

                                       21
<PAGE>
No. 133 ("FAS 137"). FAS 137 defers the effective date of FAS 133 until fiscal
quarters beginning after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for the Company).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company has substantially limited sources of capital. As of June 30,
1999, the Company had net working capital of approximately $600,000. Management
has undertaken steps to address the Company's ongoing cash requirements
including concentrating the Company's market focus, identifying additional
operational and administrative efficiencies, and actively managing working
capital. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through
additional debt and equity offerings.

    Because the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating
losses, the Company will continue to use substantial sums of cash in its
operations for an indefinite period. Accordingly, the Company will be required
to obtain additional capital. No assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in its efforts to obtain additional capital, or that capital will be
available on terms acceptable to the Company or on terms that will not
significantly dilute the interests of existing stockholders. In September 1999,
HomeCom announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with J.P. Turner &
Company, L.L.C. to consummate an underwritten public offering of $10 million of
the securities of the Company. There is no assurance that such public offering
will be successful, or that HomeCom will not exhaust its current capital
resources before the consummation of the offering.

    On September 7, 1999, we announced a restructuring of our business
consistent with our core internet banking, insurance offerings, and professional
services operations. This restructuring is expected to result in a reduction of
expenses of approximately $3.5 million over the next twelve months, and a
reduction in our personnel by about 60 employees, to about 95 employees (after
taking into effect the anticipated divestiture of our security consulting and
integration division). There is no such assurance that such actions will be
sufficient. The Company currently only has sufficient working capital to last
for the next 2-3 months. If the Company exhausts its current sources of capital
and is not able to obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to
undertake additional steps to continue its operations. Such steps may include
further reduction of the Company's operating costs and other expenditures,
including reductions of personnel and suspension of salary increases and capital
expenditures. If such measures are not sufficient, the Company may elect to
implement other cost reduction actions as the Company may determine are
necessary and in the Company's best interests, including the possible sale of
certain of the Company's business lines. Any such actions undertaken may limit
the Company's opportunities to realize continued increases in sales and the
Company may not be able to reduce its costs in amounts sufficient to achieve
break-even or profitable operations. If the Company exhausts its sources of
capital, and subsequent cost reduction measures are not sufficient to allow the
Company to achieve positive cash flows, the Company will be forced to seek
protection from its creditors. The aforementioned factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements included in this registration statement have been prepared assuming
the Company is a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

    Net cash used in operating activities was $3,471,778 for six months ended
June 30, 1999. The Company has primarily financed its operations to date through
public and private sales of debt and equity securities and loans from its
principal stockholders and affiliates. During May 1997, the Company completed an
initial public offering of its common stock, issuing 1,000,000 shares at a price
of $6.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the initial public
offering were approximately $4.7 million. The Company has repaid all outstanding
principal amounts loaned to the Company by stockholders and affiliates. During
September 1997, the Company completed the issuance of an aggregate $1.7 million
principal amount of the Company's 5% convertible debentures due September 22,
2000. Net proceeds from the sale of the debentures was approximately $1.5
million. In December 1997, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series A
preferred stock for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. During
1998, the Company's 5% convertible debentures and its Series A preferred stock
were converted into

                                       22
<PAGE>
961,460 and 711,456 shares of common stock, respectively. In June 1998, the
Company sold its HostAmerica division to Sage Acquisition Corp., for net
proceeds of approximately $4,500,000. In March 1999, the Company issued 125
shares of its Series B preferred stock for aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $2.3 million. On July 28, 1999, the Company sold 175 shares of its
Series C Preferred Stock for net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million.

    The Company spent $252,793 and $240,831 during the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, for the purchase of capital equipment. These
amounts were expended primarily for computer equipment, communications equipment
and software necessary for the Company to increase its presence in the Internet
and Intranet applications marketplace. The Company's commitments as of December
31, 1998 consist primarily of leases on its Atlanta, Vienna, Virginia, Houston,
Texas, Chicago, and New York City facilities.

    Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, totaled
$1,250,644 as of June 30, 1999. Trade receivables are monitored by the Company
through ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is considered by management to be an adequate
reserve for known and estimated bad debts of the Company. A revision in this
reserve due to actual results differing from this estimate could have a material
impact on the results of operations, financial position and liquidity of the
Company.

YEAR 2000

    Many existing computer programs were originally designed to use only two
digits to identify a year in date fields. As a result, date-sensitive software
applications may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. If not corrected, these applications could fail or produce erroneous
results when working with dates in the year 2000 and beyond. If not properly
addressed, the year 2000 issue could have a material effect on the Company's
financial position and future operating results. The Company primarily relies on
industry standard operating systems and applications for its internal systems
rather than proprietary software, and based on its review of its significant
internal programs and systems, has determined that they are substantially year
2000 compliant. In addition, the Company is seeking confirmation from its
primary telecommunications service providers that they are developing and
implementing plans to become year 2000 compliant. Information received to date
has indicated that such respondents are in the process of implementing
remediation procedures to ensure that their computer systems, services, or
products are year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999. However, the Company has
not undertaken an in-depth evaluation of such providers in relation to the year
2000 issue. In addition, the Company cannot predict whether or not all of these
vendors' programs will be successful. To the extent that these vendors fail to
resolve any year 2000 issues on a timely basis or in a manner that is compatible
with the Company's systems, that failure could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position and future operating results. The Company is
using internal resources to identify and correct its systems for year 2000
compliance, and expects any incremental costs associated with addressing this
issue to be minimal. The Company does not believe that the costs of addressing
year 2000 issues will be material to its financial position or future operating
results.

GENERAL

    HomeCom is a Delaware corporation, organized in 1994 to provide advanced
software applications and integration services to businesses seeking to take
advantage of the internet. In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company made a
strategic decision to move away from horizontally focused internet web design
and hosting services to become a vertically focused financial applications and
solutions provider to the financial services market, including banking,
insurance, and securities brokerage firms.

    HomeCom develops and markets specialized software applications, products and
services that enable consumers and financial institutions to use the internet
and intranets/extranets to obtain and communicate important business
information, conduct commercial transactions and improve business productivity.
HomeCom's principal mission is to enable financial institutions to establish an
electronic channel to consumers and business by providing secure, innovative,
internet-based solutions to the banking, insurance and brokerage industries. As
a technology provider to this electronic channel, HomeCom intends to continually
enrich the content, host and maintain its own as well as third party software
applications, and to provide strategic consulting to financial institutions on
e-commerce and marketing. HomeCom derives revenue from software licensing,
application development, and hosting and transactions fees. HomeCom has grown to
approximately 150 full-time employees and occupies approximately 41,000 square
feet of office space with offices in Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, New York City,
and the Washington, D.C. area.

    HomeCom's solutions, which are built around industry standards such as Open
Financial Exchange (OFX), are designed to enable its clients to increase
revenues, achieve distinct competitive advantages, reduce costs, and improve
customer support. The Company employs full time multimedia artists, Ph.D.
computer programmers, Internet security experts, licensed financial brokers and
agents, and network engineers. Through September 7, 1999 HomeCom provided
Internet/intranet solutions in three areas: (i) the design, development and
integration of customized software application, including world wide web site
development and related network outsourcing; (ii) the development, sale and
integration of HomeCom's existing software applications into the client's
operations; and, (iii) security consulting and integration services. In
September, 1999, we announced that we expect to divest our security consulting
and integration services operations for proceeds of approximately $1.35 million
in common stock in the non-public acquiror and $200,000 cash, and to enter into
a joint marketing program with the acquiror.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

    Businesses such as banks, brokerage firms, and insurance companies can use
HomeCom's Personal Internet Banker-TM- and InsureRate-TM- software to allow
customers to access account information and insurance quotes. Its Harvey-TM-
software collects demographic information from users for personally tailored
marketing efforts. HomeCom also creates web sites, designs custom software for
interactive web sites, intranets/extranets, sells third party internet security
software, and provides server hosting and outsourcing facilities.

    HomeCom provides its product and service offerings through four distinct but
integrated business units:

    - HomeCom's Software Products provides cost effective, one-stop financial
      services to the banking, credit union and brokerage industries that allow
      customers on-line access to transact personal banking business. HomeCom's
      turnkey solutions are targeted to the 14,000 banks and credit unions with
      assets between $500 million and $20 billion:

     - Personal Internet Banker-TM- (PIB) provides interactive internet banking
       including bill payment, balance inquiry, funds transfer, and statement
       download for checking, savings and credit card accounts.

                                       24

     - Harvey-TM- enables banks to both advertise and market targeted consumers
       based on demographics and web site browsing preferences. As consumers
       interact with the financial institution's web site, Harvey-TM- mines the
       data they enter on application forms, adds information about what they
       looked at or clicked on and then combines that information with data from
       a variety of legacy systems to dramatically increase the financial
       institution's cross selling and profit capability.

     - Post on the Fly-TM- Conference is an online bulletin board, collaboration
       and conferencing system, allowing customers to capture their most
       valuable property--the living, moving body of knowledge within an
       organization, its business partners and its customers. Specifically
       designed for the needs of financial services companies, Conference can
       run unlimited numbers of investor forums, private analyst meetings,
       financial planning workshops, or customer support groups.

    - HomeCom's InsureRate-TM- provides consumer information and education on
      insurance via its website--www.insurerate.com. Consumers are also offered
      a choice of competitively priced and innovative insurance products for
      direct purchase via the internet. InsureRate's technology makes it a low
      cost insurance product vendor. Management also intends to add
      broker/dealer operations and expects to derive additional profits by
      sharing in the reinsurance product selling agreements and sharing
      management fees on client assets that it accumulates. Management expects
      to offer a selection of fixed annuity, term life, modified endowment
      contracts, long-term care, personal auto, homeowners and other policies.

     - On March 24, 1999, HomeCom acquired First Institutional Marketing, Inc.
       and affiliated companies, which (i) provide innovative insurance products
       and marketing programs for the commercial banking industry, (ii)
       introduce banks to the sale of insurance and investment products, and
       (iii) train bank personnel to market and sell leading insurance and
       investment products to their customers. The Company has combined First
       Institutional Marketing and InsureRate-TM- to provide integrated
       insurance offerings. InsureRate-TM- is the electronic distribution arm of
       First Institutional Marketing.

    - HomeCom Financial Applications, Solutions and Technology (FAST) creates
      Internet and intranet business applications, solutions and technology
      focused on the banking, insurance and brokerage client markets.
      Applications include software programs ranging from simple mathematical
      calculators to extremely sophisticated intranets/extranets communicating
      with legacy systems and client/ server databases. HomeCom also provides
      turnkey hosting and security integration services for these applications.

    - HomeCom Internet Security Services (HISS) provides professional services
      to businesses that are concerned about network applications and
      information security. Management and technological staff directly support
      end customers by offering both consulting and integration engagements.
      Customers include Fortune 500 financial service providers, airlines,
      energy companies, media conglomerates, manufacturers and others. Since its
      inception in 1996, HISS has successfully completed nearly 50 contract
      engagements including eleven with Fortune 500 companies. Its customers
      include Citicorp, the CIA, Fiserv, Washington Post, Reebok, Raytheon
      E-Systems, MCI WorldCom, Crestar, HomeDepot and others. HISS is the only
      business unit that provides services to non-financial institutions. In
      September, 1999, we announced that we expect to divest our security
      consulting and integration services operations for proceeds of
      approximately $1.35 million in common stock of the non-public acquiror and
      $200,000 in cash, and to enter into a joint marketing program with the
      acquiror.

    HomeCom employs a team of highly trained internet/intranet software
developers and multimedia and graphics professionals who design and develop
specialized internet/intranet software applications. These applications enable
companies to obtain and communicate vital business information, such as sales
reports, order status systems, employee directories and client account
information. HomeCom works closely with its customers to analyze and design
internet-based software solutions that facilitate the

                                       25
<PAGE>
interactive exchange of business information. Through its experience in
designing custom internet solutions for businesses, HomeCom believes that it has
developed and continues to develop in-depth knowledge concerning
industry-specific internet applications and requirements. HomeCom plans to
leverage this knowledge to develop additional internet-enabled applications
targeted for the financial services industry.

    HomeCom's staff of 32 full-time software engineers design and develop custom
applications and software products. HomeCom's software engineers have experience
with various computer operating systems, including Sun Solaris, SGI's IRIX,
Windows NT, Digital Unix on the Alpha platform, Intel's Pentium Pro on BSDI
Unix, Hewlett Packard's HP 9000 and Apple's Macintosh operating system. The
software engineers write software programs using various tools and languages,
including Perl, JAVA, CGI Programming, C and C ++. The software engineers also
have database expertise in Oracle, Informix, Sybase and SQL, and many software
development tools. HomeCom's multimedia artists and engineers utilize many of
the generally available software programs and tools such as Adobe Photoshop,
MacroMedia Shockwave, RealAudio and VDOLive.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

    On April 16, 1998, HomeCom acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
The Insurance Resource Center, Inc. for 351,391 shares of HomeCom's common
stock. The Insurance Resource Center provides Internet development and hosting
services to the insurance industry and was incorporated into HomeCom's FAST
group.

    On June 9, 1998, HomeCom sold substantially all of the assets of its
HostAmerica Internet network outsourcing services division to Sage Acquisition
Corp. for cash of $4,250,000 and Sage's assumption of approximately $250,000 of
unearned revenue. HomeCom recorded a gain on the sale of approximately
$4,402,000. This transaction allowed HomeCom to further consolidate its business
focus on the financial services market.

    On November 6, 1998, HomeCom signed a definitive agreement and plan of
merger to acquire, among other things, all of the outstanding shares of the
First Institutional Marketing companies for 1,252,174 shares of common stock. In
addition, HomeCom entered into employment agreements for an initial term of 3
years with the three principals of First Institutional Marketing, calling for
them to continue in their current roles for the acquired companies. On March 24,
1999, HomeCom completed this acquisition.

    On April 23, 1999, HomeCom acquired all the outstanding shares of Ganymede
Corporation for total consideration of 185,342 shares of common stock and
$100,000 cash. Ganymede is a Chicago-based web site developer for financial
institutions. In addition, the Company entered into employment agreements with
the three principals of Ganymede, calling for them to continue in their current
roles for the acquired company.

    In September, 1999, we announced that we expect to divest our security
consulting and integration services operations for proceeds of approximately
$1.35 million in common stock in the non-public acquiror and $200,000 cash, and
to enter into a joint marketing program with the acquiror.

    HomeCom will seek to make additional strategic and tactical acquisitions of
companies that have developed specific industry expertise or have existing
relationships with large businesses needing internet/ intranet solutions.
However, HomeCom has not entered into any additional binding agreements or
commitments. Moreover, HomeCom has extremely limited sources of cash.
Consequently, HomeCom has limited resources available to complete an acquisition
and no assurance can be given that HomeCom will be able to successfully complete
any additional acquisitions.

                                       26

SALES AND MARKETING

    HomeCom's products and services have been developed to serve the needs of
the financial services market, including banking, insurance, and securities
brokerage. HomeCom markets its products and services through its direct sales
force, print advertising and its own Web site. HomeCom also generates customer
leads through its business partner relationships with leading technology
companies. HomeCom also utilizes traditional print and media marketing
strategies to enhance Company and product name recognition.

    In February 1999, HomeCom and USA TODAY created a marketing alliance to
provide direct online access and online promotion for InsureRate-TM-. The
agreement should build further momentum for sales to banks, credit unions,
brokerage companies and other financial institutions.

COMPETITION

    The market for specialized internet applications is highly competitive, and
HomeCom expects that this competition will intensify in the future. In providing
specialized software application design and development, HomeCom competes with
numerous businesses that also provide software design and development services,
companies that have developed and market application specific internet software
products, companies that provide software tools that enable customers to develop
specific internet-enabled software applications and companies that choose to
develop internet application products internally. Andersen Consulting L.L.P.,
Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS), International Business Machines
Corporation (IBM) and Cap Gemini America are significant custom software
developers, integrators and resellers whose services include a broad range of
internet and intranet software applications design and development services.
Companies such as Broadvision, Inc., Edify Corporation and Security First
Network Bank have developed application specific internet software products that
are broadly marketed and licensed and perform such functions as interactive
one-to-one marketing, human resources benefits inquiry, enrollment and training
and internet banking. In addition, companies that offer and sell client/server
based internet-enabled software products, such as Netscape and Microsoft, may in
the future bundle software capabilities and applications with existing products
in a manner which may limit the need for software capabilities and application
services such as those offered by HomeCom. HomeCom also competes with the
information technology departments of significant business enterprises who may
choose to design and develop their internet applications internally. The
emergence of sophisticated software products and tools that enable companies to
build customized internet-enabled software applications internally also may have
the effect of encouraging internal development and, thus, may materially reduce
the demand for HomeCom's custom software application services.

    HomeCom's security services division faces competition from many sources,
including companies that provide security consulting services and companies that
market specific internet-based security solutions. Such competitors include
Digital Equipment Corporation, IBM, Andersen Consulting, L.L.P. and EDS. In
addition, many companies currently market internet-based application-specific
software products that incorporate security and confidentiality features and
functions.

    HomeCom believes that the rapid expansion of the market for internet
software applications will foster the growth of many significant competitors
performing comparable services and offering comparable products to those offered
by HomeCom. HomeCom competes on the basis of creative talent, price, reliability
of services, and responsiveness. Many of HomeCom's current and prospective
competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources than HomeCom. HomeCom believes that it presently competes favorably
with respect to each of its various service offerings. There can be no assurance
that HomeCom's present and proposed products will be able to compete
successfully with current or future competitors or that competitive pressures
faced by HomeCom will not have a material adverse effect on HomeCom's business,
financial condition and operating results.

                                       27

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    In accordance with industry practice, HomeCom relies primarily on a
combination of copyright, patent and trademark laws, trade secrets,
confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary
rights. HomeCom seeks to protect its software, documentation and other written
materials principally under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only
limited protection. HomeCom has a registered service mark for its logo, and has
applied for federal registration of the names HomeCom-TM-, Post On The Fly-TM-
and Personal Internet Banker-TM-. Despite HomeCom's efforts to protect its
proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of
HomeCom's products or to obtain and use information that HomeCom regards as
proprietary. There can be no assurance that HomeCom's means of protecting its
proprietary rights will be adequate or that HomeCom's competitors will not
independently develop competing products and services. In addition, the laws of
some foreign countries do not protect HomeCom's proprietary rights to as great
an extent as the laws of the United States. HomeCom does not believe that any of
its proposed products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. There
can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not claim infringement by
HomeCom with respect to its products. HomeCom expects that software product
developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of
products and competitors in electronic commerce grows and the functionality of
products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or
without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause
product shipment delays or require HomeCom to enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to HomeCom. In addition, Web site developers such
as HomeCom face potential liability for the actions of customers and others
using their services, including liability for infringement of intellectual
property rights, rights of publicity, defamation, libel fraud,
misrepresentation, unauthorized computer access, theft, tort liability and
criminal activity under the laws of the United States, various states and
foreign jurisdictions. HomeCom routinely enters into non-disclosure and
confidentiality agreements with employees, vendors, contractors, consultants and
customers.

    There can be no assurance that HomeCom's means of protecting its proprietary
rights will be adequate or that HomeCom's competitors will not independently
develop similar technology. HomeCom believes that, due to the rapid pace of
internet innovation and related software industries, factors such as the
technological and creative skills of its personnel are more important in
establishing and maintaining a leadership position within the industry than are
the various legal protections of its technology.

CUSTOMERS

    During 1996, 1997 and 1998, no customer accounted for more than 10% of
HomeCom's total net sales. Because substantially all of HomeCom's customers have
retained HomeCom for a single project, customers from whom HomeCom generated
substantial revenue in one quarter generally have not been a substantial source
of revenue in a subsequent quarter.

EMPLOYEES

    At July 31, 1999, HomeCom employed 152 full-time employees, of whom 62 were
technical personnel engaged in maintaining or developing HomeCom's products or
performing related services, 54 were marketing, sales, or sales support
personnel and 36 were involved in administration and finance. The restructuring
announced on September 7, 1999 is expected to result in a reduction in our
personnel by about 60 employees, to about 95 employees (after taking into effect
the anticipated divestiture of our security consulting and integration
division).

                                       28
<PAGE>
INSURANCE

    HomeCom maintains liability and other insurance that it believes to be
customary and generally consistent with industry practice. HomeCom believes that
such insurance is adequate to cover potential claims relating to its existing
business activities.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

    The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Telecommunications Act"),
which became effective on February 8, 1996, imposes criminal liability on
persons sending or displaying in a manner available to minors indecent material
on an interactive computer service such as the internet. The 1996
Telecommunications Act also imposes criminal liability on an entity knowingly
permitting facilities under its control to be used for those activities. The
constitutionality of these provisions was successfully challenged in federal
district court and ultimately found unconstitutional by the United States
Supreme Court in Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union.

    Except for the 1996 Telecommunications Act, HomeCom does not believe that it
is currently subject to direct regulation by any government agency, other than
regulations applicable to businesses generally, and believes that there are
currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to Web site service
companies. The Federal Communications Commission is studying the possible
regulation of the internet. Any such regulations adopted by the Federal
Communications Commission may adversely impact the manner in which HomeCom
conducts its business. It is possible that a number of additional laws and
regulations may be adopted with respect to the internet, covering issues such as
user privacy, pricing, characteristics, and quality of products and services.
The adoption of any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the
internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for HomeCom's products and
services and increase HomeCom's cost of doing business or cause HomeCom to
modify its operations, or otherwise have an adverse effect on HomeCom's
business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, the applicability
to the internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership,
libel, and personal privacy is uncertain. HomeCom cannot predict the impact, if
any, that future regulation or regulatory changes may have on its business. In
addition, Web site developers such as HomeCom face potential liability for the
actions of customers and others using their services, including liability for
infringement of intellectual property rights, rights of publicity, defamation,
libel, fraud, misrepresentation, unauthorized computer access, theft, tort
liability and criminal activity under the laws of the U.S., various states and
foreign jurisdictions. Any imposition of liability could have a material adverse
effect on HomeCom.

    In addition, HomeCom's network services are transmitted to its customers
over dedicated and public telephone lines. These transmissions are governed by
regulatory policies establishing charges and terms for communications. Changes
in the regulatory environment relating to the telecommunications and media
industry could have an effect on HomeCom's business, including regulatory
changes which directly or indirectly affect use or access of the internet or
increase the likelihood or scope of competition from regional telephone
companies, could have a material adverse effect on HomeCom.

    HomeCom occupies approximately 17,000 square feet in two office buildings in
Atlanta, Georgia under leases expiring in March 2001 and October 2002. These
facilities serve as HomeCom's headquarters and computer center. HomeCom also has
an office in McLean, Virginia occupying approximately 6,000 square feet under a
lease expiring in June 2002, an office in New York City occupying approximately
3,400 square feet under a lease expiring in January 2003, an office in Houston,
Texas occupying approximately 12,000 square feet under a lease expiring in June
2004, and an office in Chicago occupying approximately 2,800 square feet under a
lease expiring in October 1999.

    HomeCom's internet services are maintained in its key-card access-secured,
dual Leibert air-conditioned Network Operations Center (NOC) in Class A office
space near HomeCom's principal offices. Company personnel monitor server and
network functions on a 24 hour per day, 7 days per week

                                       29

basis. Back-up servers replace production servers in the event of failure or
down time. Tape back-ups are performed on a daily basis and transported to
secure off-site storage. Each server is Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) managed and utilizes devices located on a separate network to notify
network personnel by pager in the event of problems that are not otherwise
detected by HomeCom's own SNMP.

    All power supplied to the NOC computer room is supplied by two separate
power substations through American Power Conversion Matrix UPS lines, with
back-up battery power. Telecommunications are provided to the computer room
through multiple leased T1 and T3 lines directly connected to the T3 internet
provided by interexchange carriers. Each T1 and T3 line is provisioned on
separate local carrier fiber optics using the latest Synchronous Optical Network
(SONET) and Fiber Distributed Data Interface ("FDDI") technology.
Telecommunications lines are provided through two physically diverse entrance
facilities. HomeCom has acquired and installed multiple Cisco routers for
connection to the internet, which automatically redistribute traffic load in the
event of telecommunications failure.

    HomeCom believes that the properties which it currently has under lease are
adequate to serve HomeCom's business operations for the foreseeable future.
HomeCom believes that if it were unable to renew the lease on either of these
facilities, it could find other suitable facilities with no material adverse
effect on HomeCom's business.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    HomeCom is not a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time,
HomeCom is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the
conduct of its business.

    HomeCom's Board of Directors is divided into three classes. The Class III
directors (Messrs. Sax and Ellsworth) serve until the 2000 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, the Class I directors (Mr. Thomas, Mr. Walker and Mr. Delity)
serve until the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and the Class II directors
(Dr. Bokuchava and Messrs. Puri and Nebel) will serve until the 1999 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. Upon election, each class serves a three-year term. The
classification of the Board of Directors could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company. Officers are
elected at the first Board of Directors meeting following the stockholders
meeting at which directors are elected, and officers serve at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. Each executive officer of the Company was chosen by the
Board of Directors and serves at the pleasure of the Board of Directors until
his or her successor is appointed or until his or her earlier resignation or
removal. There are no family relationships between any of the directors or
executive officers of the Company.

BOARD COMMITTEES

    The Board of Directors has three standing committees: a Compensation
Committee, an Audit Committee and an Executive Committee. The Compensation
Committee provides recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning salaries
and incentive compensation for officers and employees of the Company. The Audit
Committee recommends the Company's independent auditors and reviews the results
and scope of audit and other accounting-related services provided by such
auditors. The Executive Committee has day-to-day executive decision-making
authority on behalf of the Company, subject to the overall review and approval
of the Board of Directors. A majority vote of the Executive Committee is
required to act on any such matters. The Executive Committee may be disbanded or
reconstituted at any time by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. All
major corporate decisions continue to be subject to the review and approval of
the Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    Previously, directors did not receive any cash compensation for their
services as members of the Board of Directors, but were reimbursed for their
reasonable travel expenses in attending Board of Directors and committee
meetings. Effective July 1999, the Board of Directors unanimously approved
compensation to the two outside directors of $1,000 per month and $1,000 per
Board meeting attended. Directors who are not employees of HomeCom are eligible
to receive automatic grants of stock options under HomeCom's Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan, and may receive additional grants of options under
such plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. See "Stock Option Plans-- NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN"
at page 34 of this prospectus. HomeCom may in the future establish a policy for
compensating members of the Board of Directors for attending Board of Directors
or committee meetings.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

    During 1995, compensation of executive officers of HomeCom was determined by
Harvey W. Sax, HomeCom's President and Chief Executive Officer. In September
1996, HomeCom established a Compensation Committee to review the performance of
executive officers, establish overall employee compensation policies and
recommend salaries and incentive compensation for officers and employees of
HomeCom. No member of the Compensation Committee is or will be an executive
officer of HomeCom.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    The following table sets forth the total compensation paid or accrued by
HomeCom in 1998 for its Chief Executive Officer and each executive officer of
HomeCom whose total annual salary and bonuses determined at December 31, 1998

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

    HomeCom has entered into an employment agreement with Harvey W. Sax, its
President and Chief Executive Officer, which provides a five year term
commencing on January 1, 1996, subject to automatic extension for an additional
one year on each one-year anniversary of the agreement. This employment
agreement is subject to early termination as provided therein, including
termination by HomeCom "for cause," as defined in the employment agreement. The
employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $150,000, and for
bonus compensation to be awarded at the discretion of the compensation committee
of the Board of Directors.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

    EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN.  HomeCom's stock option plan was adopted by
HomeCom's stockholders in September 1996. A total of 2,000,000 shares of common
stock have been reserved for issuance under the stock option plan, and the plan
provides that the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan will
not exceed 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of HomeCom's common
stock. The purpose of the stock option plan is to provide incentives for
officers and key employees to promote the success of HomeCom, and to enhance
HomeCom's ability to attract and retain the services of such persons. HomeCom
has reserved 600,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the stock option
plan. Options granted under the stock option plan may be either (i) options
intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code
or (ii) non-qualified stock options. Stock options may be granted under the
stock option plan for all employees of HomeCom, or of any present or future
subsidiary or parent of HomeCom. The stock option plan is administered by the
compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The compensation committee has
the authority to determine exercise prices applicable to the options, the
eligible employees or consultants to whom options may be granted, the number of
shares of common stock subject to each option and the terms upon which options
are exercisable. The compensation committee has the authority to interpret the
stock option plan and to prescribe, amend and rescind the rules and regulations
pertaining to the stock option plan. No option is transferable by the optionee
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and each option is
exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee.

    Any incentive stock option that is granted under the stock option plan may
not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant (or less than 110% of fair market value in the case of holders
of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
HomeCom or a subsidiary or parent of HomeCom). Non-qualified stock options may
be granted at the exercise price established by the compensation committee,
which will not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant.

    Each option granted under the stock option plan is exercisable for a period
not to exceed ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of a
holder of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of HomeCom or a subsidiary or parent of HomeCom) and shall lapse upon expiration
of such period, or earlier upon termination of the recipient's employment with
HomeCom, or as determined by the compensation committee.

    As of June 30, 1999, options to purchase 892,069 shares of common stock were
outstanding under the stock option plan at exercise prices ranging from $1.91 to
$8.06 per share and at a weighted average exercise price of $4.91 per share. All
outstanding options vest 25% per year from their date of grant.

    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN.  HomeCom's non-employee directors
stock option plan was adopted by HomeCom's stockholders in September 1996 and
amended in October 1996. HomeCom has reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for
issuance under the non-employee directors plan.

    The non-employee directors plan provides for the automatic granting of
non-qualified stock options to directors who are not officers or employees of
HomeCom. Each non-employee director who is first

                                       35
<PAGE>
appointed or elected to the Board of Directors is granted an option to purchase
10,000 shares of common stock. Also, each non-employee director automatically
receives an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the date of each
annual meeting of HomeCom's stockholders. The non-employee directors plan also
allows the compensation committee of the Board to make extraordinary grants of
options to non-employee directors. All options granted under the non-employee
directors plan vest 50% per year of service by the non-employee director on the
Board of Directors. No option is transferable by the optionee other than by will
or laws of descent and distribution, and each option is exercisable, during the
lifetime of the optionee, only by such optionee. The exercise price of all
options will be the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date
of grant, and the term of each option may not exceed seven years. The
non-employee directors plan will continue in effect for a period of ten years
unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.

    During February 1998, Mr. Thomas was granted an option under the
non-employee directors plan to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $2.18 per share. In March, 1999 Mr. Thomas was granted an
option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.8125.
During March 1999, Mr. Walker was granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $6.00.

    EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.  HomeCom's employee stock purchase plan became
effective on March 1, 1997. A total of 150,000 shares of common stock have been
reserved for issuance under the stock purchase plan. The stock purchase plan is
intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose
of the stock purchase plan is to encourage and enable employees of HomeCom to
acquire a proprietary interest in HomeCom through ownership of shares of common
stock. Eligible employees of HomeCom will purchase shares of common stock at 85%
of fair market value and HomeCom will partially subsidize purchases under the
stock purchase plan and will pay the expenses of its administration.

    An employee electing to participate in the stock purchase plan must
authorize a stated dollar amount or percentage of the employee's regular pay to
be deducted by HomeCom from the employee's pay during each of four quarterly
payroll deduction periods. Those payroll deduction periods begin on January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each calendar year during which the stock
purchase plan is in effect. HomeCom is deemed on the last day of each payroll
deduction period to have granted a purchase right to each participant as of the
first day of the payroll deduction period to purchase as many full and
fractional shares of common stock as can be purchased with the participant's
payroll deductions. On the last day of the payroll deduction period, the
participant will be deemed to have exercised this option, at the option price,
to the extent of the participant's accumulated payroll deductions. In no event,
however, may the participant purchase common stock having a fair market value,
measured on the first business day of the payroll deduction period, of greater
than $25,000 during a calendar year. The option price under the stock purchase
plan is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on either the
first business day or the last business day of the applicable payroll deduction
period, whichever is lower.

    Employees of HomeCom who have completed six full months of service with
HomeCom and whose customary employment is more than 20 hours per week and five
or more months per calendar year are eligible to participate in the stock
purchase plan. An employee may not be granted an option under the stock purchase
plan if after the granting of the option such employee would be deemed to own 5%
or more of the combined voting power of value of all classes of stock of
HomeCom. As of July 31, 1999, approximately 72 employees are eligible to
participate in the stock purchase plan, and as of such date, 10 employees are
participating in the Plan. An employee's rights under the stock purchase plan
may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. An employee's rights under the
stock purchase plan terminate upon termination of his or her employment for any
reason, including retirement. Upon such termination, HomeCom will refund the
employee's payroll deductions or contributions made during the payroll deduction
period.

                                       36
<PAGE>
    An employee may not sell shares of common stock purchased under the stock
purchase plan until the first day of the second payroll deduction period
following the payroll deduction period in which the option for such shares was
granted.

    The stock purchase plan is administered by the compensation committee. No
member of the Board of Directors will be eligible to participate in the stock
purchase plan during the period he or she serves as a member of the compensation
committee. The compensation committee may terminate or amend the stock purchase
plan at any time. However, any termination or amendment may not affect or change
purchase rights previously granted under the stock purchase plan without the
consent of the affected participants. Also, any amendment that materially
increases the benefits or number of shares under the stock purchase plan, except
for adjustments due to changes in HomeCom's capital structure, or that
materially modifies the eligibility requirements of the stock purchase plan will
be subject to stockholder approval. If not sooner terminated by the Compensation
Committee, the stock purchase plan will terminate at the time that all
authorized shares of common stock reserved for grant under the stock purchase
plan have been purchased.

    401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN.  HomeCom's Board of Directors has approved the
adoption of a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which is intended to be a
tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. This plan was implemented in March 1998. In general, all employees
of HomeCom are eligible to participate. The 401(k) plan includes a salary
deferral arrangement pursuant to which participants may contribute amounts not
to exceed limitations imposed by the Code. Subject to certain Code limitations,
HomeCom may make a matching contribution of up to $1,000 of the salary deferral
contributions of participants at a rate of 50% of the participant's
contributions, up to 4% of the participant's salary. HomeCom may also make an
additional contribution to the 401(k) plan each year at the discretion of the
Board of Directors. Separate accounts are maintained for each participant in the
401(k) plan. The portion of a participant's account attributable to his or her
own contributions will be 100% vested. The portion of the account attributable
to HomeCom contributions, including matching contributions, will vest after 5
years of service with HomeCom. Distributions from the 401(k) plan may be made in
the form of a lump-sum cash payment or in installment payments.

AGREEMENTS WITH EMPLOYEES

    Principal employees of HomeCom, including executive officers, are required
to sign an agreement with HomeCom restricting the ability of the employee to
compete with HomeCom during his or her employment and for a period of eighteen
months thereafter, restricting solicitation of customers and employees following
employment with HomeCom, and providing for ownership and assignment of
intellectual property rights to HomeCom.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

    During the period December 1994 through December 1995, Harvey W. Sax,
HomeCom's President and Chief Executive Officer, loaned a total of approximately
$63,497 to HomeCom pursuant to a promissory note payable by HomeCom on September
12, 2000, which accrues interest at the prime rate plus 1% per annum. HomeCom
used approximately $56,000 of the net proceeds of its initial public offering to
repay the remaining outstanding amounts owed under this promissory note.

    In February 1996, in connection with a recapitalization of the common stock,
HomeCom issued 787,844 shares of common stock to Harvey W. Sax, its President
and Chief Executive Officer and then its sole stockholder, for $.001 per share.
In December 1994, HomeCom granted Nat Stricklen, a co-founder and former
director of HomeCom, an option to acquire, for an aggregate exercise price of
$10.00, shares of common stock which, when issued, would represent approximately
10% of the issued and outstanding common stock. Mr. Stricklen exercised this
option in February 1996 and received 93,070 shares of common stock.

    In February 1996, HomeCom (i) sold for $.0001 per share 335,052 shares to
Margery Germain; and (ii) issued to Mark Germain for $200,000 an unsecured
promissory note due September 1997 in the principal amount of $200,000 and
bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the
promissory note with Mr. Germain, in May, 1997 HomeCom issued Mr. Germain 33,333
shares of common stock in repayment of the $200,000 outstanding principal
balance of this note.

    Mr. David A. Blech, Mrs. Esther Blech and the Edward A. Blech Trust
(collectively the "Blech Interests") have agreed in writing with the Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc. that, for a period of three years from the date of their
original purchases of securities from HomeCom, none of them will sell, transfer,
assign, pledge or hypothecate any shares of common stock. Gifts of shares of the
common stock are permitted provided that the recipient of such gift agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms of the agreement. The Blech Interests further
agreed that while the common stock is listed on any Nasdaq market, there will be
no financial relationship between David Blech or any of the foregoing Blech
Interests, on the one hand, and HomeCom, on the other hand; that the direct or
indirect ownership of shares of common stock held by Mr. David A. Blech and/or
the Blech Interests may not exceed 5% of the common stock; and that there may be
no advisory relationship between Mr. David A. Blech and HomeCom. To the best of
HomeCom's knowledge and belief, the Blech Interests beneficially own less than
5% of the common stock.

    In August 1996, Harvey W. Sax, HomeCom's President and Chief Executive
Officer, contributed 3,956 shares of common stock to HomeCom.

    In August 1996, HomeCom issued and sold to six of its employees an aggregate
of 102,855 shares of common stock for a total of $468,004, payable through the
issuance of promissory notes payable in four equal annual installments, bearing
interest at 8% per annum and secured by the shares of common stock purchased
therewith. Also in August 1996, HomeCom entered into employment agreements with
such persons which provide that for each of the first four years of employment,
HomeCom will issue a bonus to the employee in the amount necessary to repay the
annual amount due under such promissory note (plus the taxes due by the employee
as a consequence of receiving such bonus). Pursuant to the terms of the
employment agreements, HomeCom will continue to make these annual payments if
the employee is terminated other than "for cause," as defined in the employment
agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements for such
shares, if the employee's employment is terminated within such four-year period,
HomeCom has the right to repurchase that percentage of the shares purchased by
the employee which shall equal the percentage of the promissory note which is
not yet due, payment for such repurchase to be made by canceling the applicable
outstanding amount of the promissory note. Gia Bokuchava, Ph.D., Chief Technical
Officer and a director, and Krishan Puri, Executive Vice President and a
director, purchased 39,559 and 29,669 shares of common stock, respectively, in
this transaction. Mr. Vinod Keni, a former director, purchased 3,955 shares in
this transaction. HomeCom has agreed with Mr. Keni that all 11,865 options to
acquire common stock held by Mr. Keni (at a weighted average exercise price of
$5.16

                                       38
<PAGE>
per share) shall continue to vest as if Mr. Keni were still employed by HomeCom.
HomeCom also agreed to cancel and forgive indebtedness of approximately $18,000
represented by the promissory note given by Mr. Keni to purchase such 3,955
shares and to give Mr. Keni a cash payment to cover Mr. Keni's estimated tax
liability from such cancellation of indebtedness.

    In August 1996, Krishan Puri, Executive Vice President and a director,
exercised a warrant to purchase 9,307 shares of common stock for a total
exercise price of $1.00. Mr. Puri was granted the warrant in June 1995 in
connection with his agreeing to serve on HomeCom's former Board of Advisors.

    In August 1996, HomeCom acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
HomeCom Internet Security Services, Inc. (HISS), a Delaware corporation formed
in July 1996 to provide internet and Intranet security system consulting
services. In the transaction, the former holders of HISS's capital stock
received the right to receive their pro rata share of four annual earnout
payments to be paid not later than March 31 of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. Each
annual earnout will be one-fourth of an amount equal to 30% of HISS's gross
revenues for the 12 month period ending December 31, 1997; provided, however,
that (i) the amount of each annual earnout will be limited to the amount of
HISS's net profits for the 12-month period ended December 31 immediately
preceding the payment date, (ii) amounts not paid in a year as a result of the
profit limit will be carried forward to the subsequent year, and (iii) amounts
not paid in the fourth year as a result of the profit limit will be forfeited.
Each annual earnout can be paid in whole or in part in cash or, at HomeCom's
option, in shares of common stock based upon the average trading price of the
common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding payment of the
annual earnout. An annual earnout will not be paid if the recipient is then in
violation of the non-solicitation and non-competition provisions contained in
the Stock Purchase Agreement to which the former holders of HISS's capital stock
are subject. Roger Nebel, Vice President and a director of HomeCom, owned 48% of
HISS's outstanding capital stock and will be entitled to receive 48% of the
Annual Earnouts. HISS was merged with and into HomeCom on September 11, 1996.

                              RECENT TRANSACTIONS

THE INSURANCE RESOURCE CENTER

    On April 16, 1998, HomeCom acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
The Insurance Resource Center, Inc. for 351,391 shares of HomeCom's common
stock. Pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, filed a registration
statement for 175,696 of such shares on June 12, 1998. The Insurance Resource
Center will remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of HomeCom. In addition, The
Insurance Resource Center has pursuant to an employment agreement retained the
services of Tim James Higham, one of the former shareholders of The Insurance
Resource Center as Vice President of Insurance Sales.

DIVESTITURE OF HOSTAMERICA DIVISION

    On June 9, 1998 HomeCom sold substantially all of the assets of its
HostAmerica internet network outsourcing services division, consisting of web
site and internet application hosting facilities to Sage Acquisition Corp. for
$4,500,000. HomeCom retains, however, certain hosting accounts and retains the
right to perform hosting services for companies engaged in the financial service
industry. During 1996 and 1997, internet outsourcing services generated
approximately 16% and 29%, respectively, of HomeCom's total revenues. Internet
outsourcing revenues generated approximately 42% of HomeCom's total revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 1998.

FIRST INSTITUTIONAL MARKETING, INC.

    On November 6, 1998, HomeCom signed a definitive agreement and plan of

First Institutional Marketing companies for 1,252,174 shares of common stock. In
addition, HomeCom entered into employment agreements for an initial term of 3
years with the three principals of First Institutional Marketing, calling for
them to continue

                                       39

                       PRINCIPAL AND SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

    The following table provides information as of August 13, 1999, concerning
beneficial ownership of Common Stock by (1) each person or entity known by the
Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, (2)
each director and nominee for director of the Company, (3) each Named Executive
Officer, (4) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group and
(5) the selling shareholders. The information as to beneficial ownership has
been furnished by the respective stockholders, directors and executive officers
of the Company and, unless otherwise indicated, each of the stockholders has
indicated that they have sole voting and investment power with respect to the
shares beneficially owned. The selling shareholders are CPR (USA), Inc.,
Libertyview Funds, L.P., Libertyview Fund, L.L.C., J.P. Turner & Company, L.L.C.
and John Clarke.

    For the selling shareholders, the number of shares in the table represents
an estimate of the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the selling
stockholders, if the holders were to fully convert the series B preferred stock
as of August 13, 1999, fully exercise the warrants, and offer all the resulting
shares of common stock for sale. In accordance with the terms of the preferred
stock, if converted on August 13, 1999, the series B preferred stock would
convert at a conversion price of $4.81 per share into 519,751 shares of common
stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.70 per share into
250,000 shares of common stock. The actual number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the series B preferred stock and exercise of the
warrants is indeterminate, and could be materially less or more than the amount
estimated due to the conversion and exercise price adjustments explained in the
section of this prospectus entitled "Description of Capital Stock" on page 43,
in particular the subsections entitled "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" on
page 43 and "Warrants" on page 50. We agreed to register, under a registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part, at least 1,225,000 shares; the
additional shares covered by this prospectus for sale by the selling
stockholders are to accommodate the possibility that the actual number of shares
issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock or exercise of warrants
increases as a result of adjustments in the conversion or exercise prices and to
include 18,163 shares issuable as a result of our failure to effect this
registration within a specified time. This table, however, assumes no adjustment
to the conversion price of the series B preferred stock or exercise price of the
warrants. We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell any or
all of the shares that they may acquire upon their conversion of series B
preferred stock or exercise of warrants. The selling shareholders' determination
whether to hold or convert the series B preferred stock, or to exercise the
warrants, and sell the resulting shares, will depend upon many factors,
including the Company's prospects, general market conditions and the prevailing
price of the common stock.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

    Our authorized capital stock consists of 15,000,000 shares of common stock,
$.0001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, $.01 par
value. As of July 23, 1999, we had issued and there were outstanding 6,669,453
shares of common stock held of record by approximately 3,000 record holders and
125 shares of Series B preferred stock held of record by three record holders.
Of the authorized preferred stock, 20,000 shares have been designated Series A
convertible preferred stock, none of which are presently outstanding, and 125
shares have been designated Series B convertible preferred stock.

COMMON STOCK

    Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share for the
election of directors and all matters to be submitted to a vote of the
stockholders. Subject to the rights of any holders of preferred stock which may
be issued in the future, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to
share ratably in any dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out
of legally available funds. In the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of HomeCom, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably
in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the aggregate
liquidation preference of outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of
shares of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or
conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of
common stock to be issued by Homecom in this offering will be, duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

    Our restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of
preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time
to time by the board of directors. Accordingly, the board of directors is
empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with
dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting and other rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

    Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, the board has classified 125
shares of preferred stock as Series B convertible preferred stock with the
rights, preferences, privileges and terms set forth in the certificate of
designations filed with the State of Delaware. Of the 125 shares authorized by
the board, all are currently outstanding. The stated value per share of the
series B preferred stock is $20,000. All shares of common stock are of junior
rank to all series B preferred shares in respect to the preferences as to
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution, and winding up.
The rights of the shares of common stock are subject to the preferences and
relative rights of the series B preferred shares. The series B preferred shares
will be of greater rank than any series of common or preferred stock issued by
us in the future. Without the prior express written consent of the holders of at
least a majority of the then outstanding series B preferred shares, we will not
authorize or issue capital stock that is of senior or equal rank to the series B
preferred shares regarding the preferences as to distributions and payments upon
the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of HomeCom. Without the prior
express written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then
outstanding series B preferred shares, we will not hereafter authorize or make
any amendment to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or make any
resolution of the board of directors with the Delaware Secretary of State
containing any provisions which would materially and adversely affect or impair
the rights or relative priority of the holders of the series B preferred shares
relative to the holders of the common stock or the holders of any other class of
capital stock. In the event of our merger or consolidation with or into another
corporation, the series B preferred shares shall maintain their relative powers,
designations, and preferences, and no merger may result that is inconsistent
with this provision.

                                       44
<PAGE>
    Holders of the series B preferred stock are not entitled to receive
dividends. If any series B preferred shares are outstanding, we may not, without
the prior express written consent of the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding series B preferred shares, directly or indirectly declare, pay or
make any dividends or other distributions upon any of the common stock so long
as written notice thereof has been given to holders of the series B preferred
shares at least thirty days prior to the earlier of (a) the record date taken
for or (b) the payment of the dividend or other distribution. We may declare and
pay a dividend in cash with respect to the common stock so long as we pay
simultaneously to each holder of series B preferred shares an amount in cash
equal to the amount the holder would have received had all of the holder's
series B preferred shares been converted to common stock one business day before
the record date for any the dividend, and after giving effect to the payment of
any dividend and any other required payments, including required payments to the
holders of the series B preferred shares, we have in cash or cash equivalents an
amount equal to the aggregate of:

    - all of our liabilities reflected on our most recently available balance
      sheet;

    - the amount of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of our subsidiaries
      since our most recent balance sheet; and

    - 120% of the amount payable to all holders of any shares of any class of
      preferred stock assuming a liquidation as the date of our most recently
      available balance sheet.

    In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or
winding up, the holders of the series B preferred shares will be entitled to
receive in cash out of our assets, whether from capital or from earnings
available for distribution to our stockholders, before any amount shall be paid
to the holders of any of our capital stock of any class junior in rank to the
series B preferred shares in respect of the preferences as to the distributions
and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up, an amount per
series B preferred share equal to the sum of (i) $20,000 and (ii) a premium of
5% per year of the stated value from the date of issuance of the series B
preferred stock; provided that, if the funds are insufficient to pay the full
amount due to the holders of series B preferred shares and holders of shares of
other classes or series of preferred stock that are of equal rank with the
series B preferred shares as to payments of this type, then each holder of
series B preferred shares and other preferred shares will share equally in the
available funds in accordance with their respective liquidation preferences. The
purchase or redemption by us of stock of any class in any manner permitted by
law will not be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Neither
our consolidation or merger with or into any other person, nor the sale or
transfer by us of less than substantially all of its assets will be deemed to be
a liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

    The holders of series B preferred shares shall have no voting rights, except
as required by law, including the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

    Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible on or after the date
of this prospectus into the number of shares of our common stock, equal to the
stated value ($20,000) plus a premium of 5% per year of the stated value from
the date of issuance of the series B preferred stock, divided by the conversion
price. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of:

        (1) the average closing bid prices of the common stock for any four
            consecutive trading days during the twenty-five consecutive trading
            day period ending on the day prior to the conversion; or

        (2) $5.23.

    If all the outstanding shares of series B preferred stock were converted as
of August 13, 1999, based upon the closing bid prices of the shares prior to
that date, under the conversion formula of the series B preferred stock the
conversion price for the shares would be set at a price of $4.81 per share.
After taking into effect a premium of 5% per year from the date of issuance
provided for under the terms of the series B preferred stock, the 125
outstanding shares of series B preferred stock would be convertible into

                                       45
<PAGE>
519,751 shares of common stock, or approximately 7.8% of the outstanding shares.
The following table includes the total number of shares that would be issued
upon conversion of all the series B preferred stock, and the percentage of the
currently issued and outstanding shares that such number of shares would
represent, under the following assumptions, and in each case after taking into
effect the 5% annual premium through August 13, 1999:

        (a) assuming the current conversion price of $4.81 per share;

        (b) assuming a conversion price 25% below the closing bid price as of
            August 13, 1999 of $4.6562 per share, or $3.49 per share;

        (c) assuming a conversion price 50% below the closing bid price as of
            August 13, 1999 of $4.6562 per share, or $2.33 per share; and

        (d) assuming a conversion price 75% below the closing bid price as of
            August 13, 1999 of $4.6562 per share, or $1.16 per share.

</TABLE>

    Under the conversion price formula, there is no ceiling on the number of
shares of common stock into which the outstanding shares of series B preferred
stock can be converted. As a result, as the price of the common stock decreases,
the number of shares of common stock underlying the outstanding shares of series
B preferred stock continues to increase.

    Under the conversion price formula, the series B preferred stock may, from
time to time, be convertible at a rate at or below the common stock's market
price. The lower the common stock's market price at the time a holder converts
his outstanding shares of series B preferred stock, the more shares of common
stock the holder will get in the conversion. To the extent a holder of shares of
series B preferred stock converts and then sells the shares of common stock, the
common stock's market price may decrease due to the additional shares in the
market, allowing the selling holder to convert other shares of series B
preferred stock into greater amounts of common stock, the sale of which could
further depress the market price for the common stock. The downward pressure on
the market price of the common stock as a holder of the series B preferred stock
converts and sells material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales
by other holders or others, placing further downward pressure on the market
price of the common stock. The conversion of the outstanding shares of series B
preferred stock may result in substantial dilution to the interest of other
common stockholders, since each holder of the outstanding shares of series B
preferred stock may ultimately convert and sell the full amount of common stock
issuable upon conversion.

    Prior to this financing, the Board of Directors of HomeCom considered a
variety of financing proposals. The Board determined that the financing proposal
by the selling shareholders represented the most favorable proposal offered to
the Company based upon, among other things, the timing of the transaction, the
quality of the investors, and the terms and limitations of the financing. The
Board also determined that this financing appeared to be on better terms and
conditions than the previous two private placement financings of HomeCom
consummated in December 1997 and January 1998.

    The holders of the series B preferred shares are limited with respect to the
number of shares that they can convert at any one time. In particular, as long
as they are subject to laws, rules or regulations which

                                       46
<PAGE>
would prohibit their owning in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock
following conversion, they may not own in excess of that amount.

    The series B preferred stock is subject to redemption at our option after
the date of this prospectus at 120% of the principal amount of the stock being
redeemed. If any series B preferred stock remain outstanding on March 24, 2002,
all the shares will automatically be converted into common stock.

    The issuance of the series B preferred stock is also subject to the NASDAQ
National Market's Market Place Rule 4460(i). Pursuant to the terms of this rule,
we have agreed with the holders of the series B preferred stock that so long as
we are subject to this rule or any rule substantially similar to this rule, we
will not issue more than 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date the
series B preferred stock was issued upon conversion of the series B preferred
stock in the absence of:

    - the approval of the issuance by our stockholders; or

    - a waiver by NASDAQ of the provisions of that rule.

    HomeCom issued series B preferred stock totaling $2,500,000 on March 25,
1999. The series B preferred stock investors were issued 125 shares of preferred
stock, having a stated value of $20,000 per share, and 225,000 warrants to
purchase common stock at $5.70 per share. HomeCom paid offering costs of
$216,250 cash plus 25,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.70 per share,
resulting in net proceeds to HomeCom of $2,283,750 for the preferred shares and
warrants.

    The series B preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a
conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the average of the closing price for
four consecutive trading days in the twenty-five consecutive trading days ending
one day prior to the conversion date ($4.86 at the Issuance date) and (b) $5.23.
The number of common shares into which the series B preferred stock is
convertible is determined by dividing the stated value of the Series B Preferred
Stock, increased by 5% annually, by the conversion price. As the series B
preferred stock is automatically convertible on March 24, 2002, the most
beneficial conversion ratio was determined to include the additional common
shares attributable to the 5% annual increase for the three year period ending
in 2002. After adjustment for this additional benefit the $4.86 conversion price
is reduced to $4.23, the most beneficial conversion price at the issuance date.

    In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, HomeCom
first allocated the net proceeds of $2,283,750 to the preferred stock and the
warrants based on their relative fair values at the issuance date, resulting in
$1,766,217 assigned to the preferred stock and $517,533 assigned to the warrants
as of March 24, 1999. HomeCom then allocated $899,284 of the series B net
proceeds to additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature.
The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a deemed dividend to the
preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which the preferred
shareholders can realize that return. Approximately $792,000 of the beneficial
conversion was amortized in the second quarter of 1999. The balance of the
beneficial conversion feature is being recognized from the issuance date through
March, 2002.

    HomeCom has the option to redeem the series B preferred stock after 110 days
for 120% of face value. Additionally, if HomeCom has issued common stock upon
conversion of the series B preferred stock such that 19.99% of the common stock
outstanding is held by the preferred shareholders, HomeCom must obtain approval
of the shareholders before any more preferred shares can be converted. If such
approval is not obtained within 60 days, the preferred shareholders may require
HomeCom to repurchase the remaining series B preferred stock at 120% of face
value. At the issuance date, HomeCom had obtained irrevocable proxies from
shareholders representing approximately 40% of the common shareholders to vote
in favor of increasing the number of shares should such vote be required. The
series B preferred stock is presented outside of permanent equity as the outcome
of the shareholder vote, and possible redemption, is outside of the control of
HomeCom.

SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

    Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, the Board has classified 175
shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with the
rights, preferences, privileges and terms set forth in the certificate of
designations filed with the State of Delaware. Of the 175 shares authorized by
the Board, all are currently outstanding. The stated value per share of the
series C preferred stock is $20,000. All shares of common stock are to be of
junior rank to all series C preferred shares in respect to the preferences as to
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of
HomeCom. The rights of the shares of common stock are subject to the preferences
and relative rights of the series C preferred shares. The series C preferred
shares shall be of greater rank than any series of common or preferred stock
issued by us in the future. Without the prior express written consent of the
holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding series C preferred
shares, we shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital
stock that is of senior or equal rank to the series C preferred shares in
respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of HomeCom. Without the prior express
written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then
outstanding series C preferred shares, we shall not hereafter authorize or make
any amendment to the our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or make any
resolution of the board of directors with the Delaware Secretary of State
containing any provisions which would materially and adversely affect or
otherwise impair the rights or relative priority of the holders of the series C
preferred shares relative to the holders of the common stock or the holders of
any other class of capital stock. In the event of our merger or consolidation
with or into another corporation, the series C preferred shares shall maintain
their relative powers, designations, and preferences provided for herein, and no
merger may result that is inconsistent with this provision.

    Holders of the series C preferred stock are not entitled to receive
dividends. If any series C preferred shares are outstanding, we may not, without
the prior express written consent of the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding series C preferred shares, directly or indirectly declare, pay or
make any dividends or other distributions upon any of the common stock so long
as written notice thereof has been given to holders of the series C preferred
shares at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (a) the record date
taken for or (b) the payment of the dividend or other distribution. We may
declare and pay a dividend in cash with respect to the common stock so long as
we: (i) pay simultaneously to each holder of series C preferred shares an amount
in cash equal to the amount the holder would have received had all of the
holder's series C preferred shares been converted to common stock hereof one
business day prior to the record date for any the dividend, and after giving
effect to the payment of any dividend and any other payments required in
connection therewith, including to the holders of the series C preferred shares,
we have in cash or cash equivalents an amount equal to the aggregate of:

    - all of its liabilities reflected on its most recently available balance
      sheet;

    - the amount of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of its subsidiaries
      since its most recent balance sheet;

    - 120% of the amount payable to all holders of any shares of any class of
      preferred stock assuming a liquidation as the date of our most recently
      available balance sheet.

    In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or
winding up, the holders of the series C preferred shares shall be entitled to
receive in cash out of our assets, whether from capital or from earnings
available for distribution to its stockholders, before any amount shall be paid
to the holders of any of our capital stock of any class junior in rank to the
series C preferred shares in respect of the preferences as to the distributions
and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up, an amount per
series C preferred share equal to the sum of (i) $20,000 and (ii) a premium of
6% per year of the stated value from the date of issuance of the series C
preferred stock; provided that, if the funds are insufficient to pay the full
amount due to the holders of series C preferred shares and holders of shares of
other classes or series of preferred stock that are of equal rank with the
series C preferred shares as to payments of this type, then

                                       48
<PAGE>
each holder of series C preferred shares and other preferred shares shall share
equally in the available funds in accordance with their respective liquidation
preferences. The purchase or redemption by us of stock of any class in any
manner permitted by law shall not be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up. Neither our consolidation or merger with or into any other person,
nor the sale or transfer by us of less than substantially all of its assets
shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

    The holders of series C preferred shares shall have no voting rights, except
as required by law, including, but not limited to, the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware.

    The series C preferred stock has an initial stated value of $20,000 per
share, which increases at the rate of 6% per year. Each series C preferred share
is convertible, beginning 120 days following the date of issuance, at the option
of the holder, into the number of shares of common stock determined by dividing
the stated value by the lower of (a) $5.875, and (b) 82.5% of the average of the
closing bid prices for the five trading days prior to the date of conversion.
Any series C preferred stock outstanding on July 22, 2002 will automatically be
converted into common stock at the conversion price then in effect.

    The holders of the series C preferred shares are limited with respect to the
number of shares that they can convert at any one time. In particular, as long
as they are subject to laws, rules or regulations which would prohibit their
owning in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock following conversion,
they may not own in excess of that amount.

    After the 90th day following the issuance of the series C preferred stock,
and through July 22, 2001, we have the right, under specified circumstances, to
prohibit holders of the series C preferred stock from exercising any conversion
rights for up to 90 days. If we exercise that right, we are required to
compensate the holders of the series C preferred stock in cash or in shares of
common stock. The right of the holders of the series C preferred stock to
convert their shares is also subject to the following restrictions: (i) during
the period beginning on the issuance date through the following 90 days, each
holder may not convert more than 25% of the series C preferred stock purchased
by such holder, (ii) during the period beginning on the issuance date through
the following 120 days, each holder may not convert more than 50% of the series
C preferred stock purchased by such holder; and (iii) during the period
beginning on the issuance date through the following 150 days, each holder may
not convert more that 75% of the series C preferred stock purchased by such
holder.

    At any time after the issuance date, HomeCom has the right, in its sole
discretion, to redeem, from time to time, any or all of the series C preferred
stock provided that specified conditions are met, including that we have cash,
credit or standby underwriting facilities available to fund the redemption. The
redemption price is (i) 105% of the original purchase for the first 30 days
following the issuance date; (ii) 110% of the original purchase price for the
next 90 days thereafter and (iii) 120% of the original purchase price after 120
days from the issuance date.

    The issuance of the series C preferred stock is also subject to the NASDAQ
National Market's Market Place Rule 4460 (i). Pursuant to the terms of this
rule, we have agreed with the holders of the series C preferred stock that so
long as we are subject to this rule or any rule substantially similar to this
rule, we will not issue more than 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the
date the series C preferred stock was issued upon conversion of the series C
preferred stock in the absence of:

    - the approval of the issuance by our stockholders; or

    - a waiver by NASDAQ of the provisions of that rule.

On July 28, 1999, we completed a private placement of $3,500,000 principal
amount of our series C convertible preferred stock and related warrants to
purchase up to 59,574 shares of common stock. The series C preferred stock and
Warrants were sold in reliance on Rule 506 of the Securities Act, which provides
an exemption from registration for sales to accredited investors, as defined by
Rule 501 under Regulation D of the Securities Act.

                                       49
<PAGE>
    Pursuant to certain registration rights granted to the investors in the
private placement, we are obligated to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to a minimum of 1,244,444 shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the series C preferred stock and exercise of the
related warrants. We are obligated to pay penalties if the registration
statement is not filed and declared effective within specified time periods.

    We entered into, and consummated, the private placement of the series C
preferred stock and the warrants based on a determination by our board of
directors that HomeCom's level of cash and cash equivalents were inadequate to
permit HomeCom to continue in existence for a sustained period. While the board
of directors considered the disadvantages of the potential preferred stock,
including (i) the potential dilution of the voting power per share of common
stock, (ii) the potential dilution of the common stock book value, and (iii) the
potential negative impact on earnings per share of common stock, after
negotiations with investment banking firms and potential investors, and based
upon the pressures of the need for additional cash resources, the board of
directors determined that it was in the best interests of HomeCom and its
shareholders for HomeCom to proceed with the private placement based on the
board's belief that such transactions offered the most favorable terms then
available to HomeCom given the existing market conditions and HomeCom's need for
additional cash resources.

    In connection with the completion with the our initial public offering, we
granted to our underwriter, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the underwriter,
warrants to acquire 100,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of
$7.20 per share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment under specified
circumstances. The underwriter warrants expire on May 12, 2002, if not earlier
exercised.

    In connection with the completion of a sale of debentures in December of
1998, we issued to First Granite Securities, Inc., an entity designated by the
holder of the debentures, warrants to acquire an aggregate 400,000 shares of
common stock. Of these warrants, warrants to acquire an aggregate of 200,000
shares are exercisable at a price of $4.00 per share and warrants to acquire an
aggregate 200,000 shares are exercisable at a price of $6.00 per share. The
exercise price of these debenture warrants is subject to adjustment under
specified circumstances. If not earlier exercised, the debenture warrants expire
on October 27, 2000. Pursuant to an agreement dated April 8, 1998, in the event
that we agree to adjust the exercise price of the series B preferred stock
warrants to an exercise price below $5.00, we have also agreed to amend the
exercise price of any unexercised debenture warrants to the reduced exercise
price.

    In connection with the completion of the sale of our series A preferred
stock, we issued the series A preferred stock warrants. These warrants represent
the right to acquire an aggregate of 125,000 shares of common stock, with
warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock having an exercise price per
share equal to $14.50 per share and warrants to purchase the remaining 62,500
shares having an exercise price equal to $15.825. The exercise price of these
warrants is subject to adjustment under specified circumstances. The series A
preferred stock warrants will expire on December 31, 2000, and are eligible to
be exercised at any time on or after June 23, 1998.

    In connection with the completion of the sale of series B convertible
preferred stock, we issued series B convertible preferred stock warrants. These
warrants represent the right to acquire an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common
stock, each with an exercise price per share equal to $5.70 per share. The
exercise price of these warrants is subject to adjustment under specified
circumstances. The series B convertible preferred stock warrants will expire on
March 24, 2004, if not earlier exercised.

    In connection with the sale of the series C convertible preferred stock, we
issued series C preferred stock warrants. These warrants represent the right to
acquire an aggregate of up to 59,574 shares of common stock. The warrants expire
on July 27, 2004 and have an exercise price of $7.34 per share, subject to
adjustment.

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS

    HomeCom's restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions which
eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages resulting
from breaches of their fiduciary duty, other than liability for a breach of the
duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith that constitute a breach of
the director's duty to HomeCom, acts that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law, transactions in which the director receives an
improper benefit and acts or omissions for which liability is expressly provided
by an applicable statute. While the restated certificate of incorporation
provides directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breach
of duties to HomeCom, it does not eliminate those duties. Accordingly, the
restated certificate of incorporation should not affect the availability of
equitable remedies, such as injunction or rescission, based on a director's
breach of the duty of care. However, equitable remedies may not provide
stockholders adequate monetary compensation for damages caused by breach of
duties to HomeCom. HomeCom's restated bylaws contain provisions requiring the
indemnification of HomeCom's directors and officers, and persons serving at the
request of HomeCom as a director or officer of another corporation, to the
fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. These
provisions do not apply to liabilities under federal securities laws. HomeCom
believes that these restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provisions
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers
of HomeCom.

STATUTORY BUSINESS COMBINATION PROVISION

    HomeCom is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Section 203 provides, with certain exceptions, that a Delaware
corporation may not engage in any of a broad range of business combinations with
a person, or affiliate or associate of such person, who is an interested
stockholder for a period of three years from the date that such person became an
interested stockholder unless: (i) the transaction resulting in a person
becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by
the board of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an
interested stockholder, (ii) the interested stockholder acquired 85% or more of
the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that
makes it an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are
both officers and directors of the corporation and shares held by certain
employee stock ownership plans) or (iii) on or after the date the person becomes
an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the
corporation's board of directors and by the holders of at least 66% of the
corporation's outstanding voting stock at an annual or special meeting,
excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, an
interested stockholder is defined (with certain limited exceptions) as any
person that is (i) the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of
the corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation that was
the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at
any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it
is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder.

    A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of
Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws by action of
its stockholders to exempt itself from coverage, provided that such charter or
bylaw amendment shall not become effective until twelve months after the date it
is adopted. Neither the restated certificate of incorporation nor the restated
bylaws of HomeCom contains any such exclusion, although the Board of Directors
has excluded certain stockholders of HomeCom from the coverage of Section 203.

                  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING BENEFICIAL
                OWNERSHIP OF SHARES BY THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

    The terms of the series B preferred stock and the warrants provide that the
preferred stock is convertible and the warrants are exercisable by any holder
only to the extent that the number of shares of common stock issuable at that
time, together with the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by
that holder and its affiliates as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act, would not exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding
common stock so long as that holder is subject to laws, rules or regulations
which would prohibit owning in excess of 4.99%.

                    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SOME OF
                  THE SHARES HELD BY THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

    As a result of limitations imposed by Nasdaq and the terms of the series B
preferred stock, we may not issue shares representing more than 19.99% of our
outstanding stock unless we obtain stockholder approval or a waiver of the
limitations by Nasdaq. If such approval is not obtained within 60 days, the
preferred shareholders may require HomeCom to repurchase the remaining series B
preferred stock at 120% of face value.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    Shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time
by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders will act independently of
HomeCom in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each
sale. The selling shareholders may sell the shares:

    - on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market-TM-;

    - at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then
      current market price; or

    - in private sales at negotiated prices directly or through brokers.

                                       52
<PAGE>
    The selling shareholders and any underwriter, dealer or agent who
participates in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be underwriters
under the Securities Act, and any discount, commission or concession received by
these persons might be deemed to be an underwriting discount or commission under
the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against
some liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

    Any broker-dealer participating in transactions as agent may receive
commissions from the selling shareholders, and, if acting as agent for the
purchaser of the shares, from the purchaser). Usual and customary brokerage fees
will be paid by the selling shareholders. Broker-dealers may agree with the
selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price
per share, and, to the extent the broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as
agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase as principal any unsold shares
at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling
shareholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may then resell the
shares from time to time in transactions in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions or by a combination of these methods of sale, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection
with resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions
as described above.

    We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules
under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the
activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. The selling
shareholders have advised HomeCom that during the time as the selling
shareholders may be engaged in the attempt to sell shares registered under this
prospectus, they will:

    - not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with any of the
      shares;

    - not bid for or purchase any of the shares or any rights to acquire the
      shares, or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or
      rights to acquire the shares other than as permitted under the Securities
      Exchange Act;

    - not effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the
      prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if
      required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution; and

    - effect all sales of shares in broker's transactions through broker-dealers
      acting as agents, in transactions directly with market makers, or in
      privately negotiated transactions where no broker or other third party,
      other than the purchaser, is involved.

    The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates
in transactions involving the sale of the shares against some liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Any commissions paid or
any discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealers, and any profits
received on the resale of shares, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act if the broker-dealers purchase shares as
principal.

    In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable,
the shares will be sold in some jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In some states, the shares may not be sold unless
the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or
an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and
is complied with.

    HomeCom has agreed to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of
this registration statement with respect to the shares until the earlier of the
sale of the shares or two years from the date of this prospectus. No sales may
be made under this prospectus after that date unless we amend or supplement this
prospectus to indicate that we have agreed to extend the period of
effectiveness. There can be no assurance that the selling shareholders will sell
all or any of the shares offered under this prospectus.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
HomeCom Communications, Inc.

    In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements
of operations, of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HomeCom
Communications, Inc. at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the
financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses and negative
cash flows since its inception and has an accumulated deficit. The Company is
dependent on continued financing from investors to sustain its activities and
there is no assurance that such financing will be available. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    HomeCom Communications, Inc. (the "Company") specializes in Internet
application solutions for the financial services industry. HomeCom's integrated
Web-enabled solutions for one-stop financial services include a complete range
of products and services such as secure banking services, fee-income producing
insurance and brokerage products, and intelligent one-to-one marketing. In
addition, HomeCom offers custom Web development and hosting services, as well as
Internet security products and services.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    For purposes of the statement of cash flows, management considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be
cash equivalents.

RESTRICTED CASH

    Under the terms of the sale of the Company's HostAmerica division in June,
1998, $250,000 of the proceeds of the sale are to be held in escrow until May 1,
1999 for the purpose of indemnifying the Purchaser for representations and
warranties made by the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

    Accounts receivables are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance was approximately $161,000 and $95,000 at December 31, 1997 and
1998, respectively. Write-offs were approximately $191,000 and $233,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, NET

    Furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets (three to five years). Assets
recorded under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of their useful
lives or the term of the related leases using the straight-line method.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale,
retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and the related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain
or loss on the disposition is included in income.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS, NET

    The Company capitalizes internal software development costs in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting For Costs
of Computer Software To Be Sold, Leased,

                                      F-7

or Otherwise Marketed". The capitalization of these costs begins when a
product's technological feasibility has been established and ends when the
product is available for general release to customers. Amortization is computed
on an individual product basis and is the greater of (a) the ratio of current
gross revenues for a product to the total current and anticipated future gross
revenues for the product or (b) the straight-line method over the estimated
economic life of the product. Amortization of capitalized software development
costs totaled approximately $3,000, $219,000, and $32,000 in 1996, 1997, and
1998, respectively. These expenses are included in cost of sales. At December
31, 1998, capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized.

DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS

    Costs incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition of First
Institutional Marketing, Inc. have been deferred. These costs consist of legal,
accounting, and printing costs and will be capitalized upon the closing of this
transaction.

DEFERRED DEBT ISSUE COSTS

    Costs in connection with the Company's offering of convertible debentures
were deferred and amortized over the term of the debt. As of December 31, 1998,
all of the convertible debentures had been converted into shares of common stock
and, accordingly, all of the deferred debt issue costs had been amortized.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    Intangible assets consist of cost in excess of net assets acquired arising
from the purchase of The Insurance Resource Center, Inc. ("IRC") which is being
amortized using the straight-line method over three years. Impairment of value,
if any, is recognized in the period in which it is determined. Management
assesses the recoverability of intangible assets at each balance sheet date
based on undiscounted projected cash flows and operating income.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for the Company's notes
payable and capital lease obligations approximate fair value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company recognizes revenues on web page development and specialized
software application contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. Earned
revenue is based on the percentage that incurred hours to date bear to total
estimated hours after giving effect to the most recent estimates of total hours.
Earned revenue reflects the original contract price adjusted for agreed upon
claim and change order revenue, if any. If estimated total costs on any of these
contracts indicate a loss, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized
immediately. Revenues related to other services are recognized as the services
are performed. Revenues from equipment sales and related costs are recognized
when products are shipped to the customer. Unearned revenue, as reflected on the
accompanying balance sheet, represents the amount of billings recorded on
contracts in advance of services being performed.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ADVERTISING EXPENSES

    Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses were
approximately $724,000 and $263,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1998, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

    Prior to February 9, 1996, the Company qualified as an S Corporation for
federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision was made for
income taxes for its operations prior to February 9, 1996. Effective February 9,
1996, the Company converted from an S corporation to a C corporation for income
tax purposes and is, therefore, subject to corporate income taxes. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities reflect differences between the bases of the
Company's assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax
purposes. The net deferred income tax asset of approximately $2,500,000 at
December 31, 1998 is primarily due to operating loss carryforwards generated
since February 9, 1996, and is fully offset by a valuation allowance. The effect
of a change in the valuation allowance that results from a change in
circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the
related deferred tax asset in future years would be included in income in that
period.

    As a result of termination of the S Corporation in February 1996, the
accumulated deficit as of that date was transferred to additional paid-in
capital.

BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated according to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" ("FAS 128"). Due to the net loss position of the Company for each of the
three years in the period ending December 31, 1998, the numerator and
denominator are the same for both basic and diluted EPS.

OTHER MATTERS

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    During 1998, HomeCom reorganized into five separate business units,
organized on the basis of products and services. Prior to that time, the Company
operated in a single business segment. The Company has determined that its
reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's method of internal
reporting, which disaggregates its business by product and service category into
business units. HomeCom's reportable segments are: custom Web development
(FAST), Internet outsourcing services (HostAmerica), Internet security services
(HISS), software products, and InsureRate. On June 9, 1998, the Company sold
substantially all of the assets of its HostAmerica Internet outsourcing services
business unit to Sage Acquisition Corp.

    The table below presents information about the reported business unit income
for HomeCom Communications, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1998:

    Prior year operating income (loss) by segment is not presented as the
information is not available.

    Asset information by reportable segment is not reported since the Company
does not produce such information internally. All of the Company's revenues and
expenses originate in the United States. No single customer accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's revenues. Therefore, no additional disclosures about
major customers are presented.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

these leases. The Company has recorded a deferred credit to reflect the excess
of rent expense over cash payments since inception of the leases.

    Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $227,000, $507,000
and $440,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998,
respectively.

    Various legal proceedings may arise in the normal course of business.
Additionally, the Company's software and equipment are vulnerable to computer
viruses or similar disruptive problems caused by customers or other Internet
users. Computer viruses or problems caused by third parties could lead to
interruptions, delays or cessation in service to the Company's customers.
Moreover, customers of the Company could use computer files and information
stored on or transmitted to Web server computers maintained by the Company to
engage in illegal activities that may be unknown or undetectable by the Company,
including fraud and misrepresentation, and unauthorized access to computer
systems of others. Furthermore, inappropriate use of the Internet by third
parties could also jeopardize the security of customers' confidential
information that is stored in the Company's computer systems. Any such actions
could subject the Company to liability to third parties. The Company does not
have errors and omissions, product liability or other insurance to protect
against risks caused by computer viruses or other misuse of software or
equipment by third parties. Although the Company attempts to limit its liability
to customers for these types of risks through contractual provisions, there can
be no assurance that these provisions will be enforceable. Management does not
believe that there are currently any asserted or unasserted claims that will
have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations
or cash flows of the Company.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents
and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with
quality financial institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to
trade receivables is monitored by the Company through ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers' financial condition. The Company's sales to its five largest
customers represented approximately 26%, 15%, and 27% of total revenues for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively. No customer
accounted for more than 10% of the revenues of the Company during 1996, 1997 or
1998. The five most significant customer balances represented approximately 26%
and 50% of the gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.

7. EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT TRANSACTIONS

    All share and per share amounts presented below have been adjusted to
reflect the 93.07-for-one stock split effective September 11, 1996.

    During 1995, the Company issued warrants to its former Board of Advisors to
purchase 37,228 shares of common stock for total consideration of $4.00. The
warrants were granted at the fair market value of the common stock at the time
of issuance. These warrants were exercised in August 1996.

    During February 1996, the Company issued 707,332 additional shares to the
previous sole stockholder, 93,070 shares to an executive officer of the Company
pursuant to the exercise of options granted in connection with the founding of
the Company, and 893,472 shares to four private investors.

    In August 1996, the Company sold to certain key employees an aggregate of
102,855 shares of common stock for an aggregate consideration of $468,004,
payable through the issuance of promissory notes payable in four equal
installments, bearing interest at 8% per annum and secured by the shares of
common stock purchased therewith. Also in August 1996, the Company entered into
employment agreements with such persons which provide that, assuming continued
employment with the Company, for each of the first four years of employment, the
Company will issue a bonus to the employee in the amount necessary to repay the
annual amount due under such promissory note (plus the taxes due by the employee
as a consequence of receiving such bonus). Pursuant to the terms of the
employment agreements, the Company will continue to make these annual payments
if the employee is terminated other than "for cause," as defined in the
employment agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements for
such shares, if the employee's employment is terminated within such four-year
period, the Company has the right to repurchase that percentage of the shares
purchased by the employee which shall equal the percentage of the promissory
note which is not yet due, payment for such repurchase to be made by canceling
the applicable outstanding amount of the promissory note. For financial
reporting purposes, these notes receivable have been presented as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.

    In September 1996, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of
Incorporation (i) to reclassify its common stock from no par value stock to
stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, (ii) to increase the authorized
shares of common stock to 15,000,000, and (iii) to authorize the issuance of
1,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. In addition, the Board of
Directors approved a 93.07-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock
dividend, whereby each common stockholder of record as of September 11, 1996
received 92.07 additional shares of common stock for each share owned as of the
record date. As a result of the stock split and recapitalization, 1,902,400
shares were issued and $495,618 was transferred from Common Stock to Paid-in
Capital. Weighted average common shares outstanding and per share amounts for
all periods presented have been restated to reflect the stock split.

7. EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
    In May 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common
stock. The Company issued 1,000,000 shares at an initial public offering price
of $6.00 per share. The total proceeds of the offering, net of underwriting
discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $4,700,000. The
Company used a portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering to repay
outstanding principal amounts of approximately $1,300,000 loaned to the Company
by stockholders and affiliates plus accrued interest of approximately $65,000.
The Company issued 33,333 shares of common stock as payment in full of the
outstanding principal balance of a $200,000 loan from an investor.

    In connection with the completion with the Company's initial public
offering, the Company granted its underwriter warrants to acquire 100,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.20 per share. The
exercise price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. These
warrants expire on May 12, 2002 if not earlier exercised.

    In September 1997, the Company issued $1,700,000 of 5% convertible
debentures due September 22, 2000. Net proceeds to the Company from the issuance
of the debentures totaled approximately $1,500,000. Outstanding principal and
interest on the debentures is payable on September 22, 2000. During 1998, the
full principal amount of the debentures was fully converted into 961,460 shares
of common stock. As of December 31, 1998, $44,596 of interest has been accrued
for the debentures, and is payable on September 22, 2000. Due to the beneficial
conversion feature of the debentures, a portion of the proceeds ($566,667) has
been allocated to additional paid-in capital. The corresponding discount on the
debentures was amortized in 1998 as a non-cash charge to interest expense.

    In connection with the issuance of the debentures, the Company issued to a
broker designated by the purchaser of the debentures three-year warrants to
acquire an aggregate 400,000 shares of common stock. These warrants were issued
in October 1997. Of these warrants, 50,000 were exercised in December 1998 at an
exercise price of $4.00 per share. At December 31, 1998, warrants to purchase
150,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and exercisable at a price of
$4.00 per share, and warrants to purchase the remaining 200,000 shares of common
stock are outstanding and exercisable at a price of $6.00 per share. If not
earlier exercised, the warrants expire on October 27, 2000.

    In December 1997, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its Series A preferred
stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. Net proceeds to the Company
from the Series A preferred stock issuance were approximately $1,800,000. As of
December 31, 1998, the preferred stock had been fully converted into 711,456
shares of common stock. A discount of $666,667 results from an allocation of the
proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature. This discount is analogous to a
dividend and was recognized as a return to the Series A preferred holders over
the period the preferred stock was outstanding.

    In connection with the issuance and sale of the Series A preferred stock,
the Company granted the Series A preferred warrants to acquire an aggregate of
75,000 shares of Common Stock, with warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of common
stock having an exercise price per share equal to $14.50625 and warrants to
purchase 12,500 shares of common stock having an exercise price per share equal
to $15.825. The Company also granted 50,000 warrants to a placement agent at an
exercise price of $15.825 per share. The Series A preferred stock warrants will
expire on December 31, 2000.

    At December 31, 1998, 600,000 warrants are outstanding at a weighted average
exercise price of $7.51.

    On April 16, 1998, the Company issued 351,391 shares of common stock to
acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of The Insurance Resource Center,
Inc.

    On October 7, 1998, the Company issued 18,959 shares of common stock to the
former holders of HISS's capital stock as an earnout payment, which was recorded
as compensation expense.

8. STOCK OPTION PLANS

    The Company's Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") was
adopted by the Company's stockholders in September 1996. Shares of common stock
may be sold or awarded to officers, key employees and consultants. On March 3,
1999 at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved
an amendment to the Stock Option Plan which increased the number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan to 2,000,000. Options granted
under the Stock Option Plan may be either (i) options intended to qualify as
"incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii)
non-qualified stock options.

    During 1997 and 1998, the Company granted options to purchase shares under
the Stock Option Plan. The options vest 25% per year and expire ten years after
the grant date. The exercise price of the options was at or above the fair
market value of the stock on the grant date.

    The Company's Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors'
Plan") was adopted by the Company's stockholders in September 1996. Shares of
common stock may be sold or awarded to directors who are not officers or
employees of the Company ("Non-Employee Directors"). The Company has reserved
300,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Directors' Plan.

    The Directors' Plan provides for the automatic granting of an option to
purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to each Non-Employee Director who is
first appointed or elected to the Board of Directors. Also, each Non-Employee
Director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common
stock on the date of each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders.
Furthermore, the Directors' Plan allows the Board of Directors to make
extraordinary grants of options to Non-Employee Directors.

    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("FAS 123"). This statement requires that companies with
stock-based compensation plans either recognize compensation expense based on
new fair value accounting method or continue to apply the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB 25") and disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share
assuming the fair value method had been applied.

    The Company has elected to follow APB 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options. The Company has recognized no
compensation expense for options issued to employees and non-employee directors.
For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company recognized
approximately $5,000 and $36,000, respectively, in expense for stock issued to
non-employees.

    Pro forma information regarding loss per share is required by FAS 123 and
has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock
options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions:

9. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

    In August 1996, HomeCom acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
HomeCom Internet Security Services, Inc. ("HISS"), a start-up company formed in
July 1996 to provide Internet and Intranet security system consulting services.
Consideration to the former holders of HISS' capital stock consisted of

the right to receive their pro rata share of four annual earnout payments to be
paid not later than March 31 of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. In 1998, the Company
incurred approximately $45,000 in compensation expense in the form of issuing
18,959 shares of common stock to certain former holders of HISS' capital stock.
The maximum additional potential liability under the earnout agreement is
$134,800, payable in common stock or cash at the Company's option. The Company
does not expect this additional potential liability to be paid, due to HISS net
income limitations.

    On April 16, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of The Insurance Resource Center, Inc. ("IRC") for total consideration of
approximately $571,000, consisting of 351,391 shares of the Company's common
stock. IRC provides Internet development and hosting services to the insurance
industry. The Company has accounted for this acquisition as a purchase
transaction. Approximately $460,000 was recorded as an intangible asset and is
being amortized over three years. At December 31, 1998, the net unamortized
balance of this intangible asset was $351,000, net of $109,000 of accumulated
amortization.

    On June 9, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its
HostAmerica Internet network outsourcing services division to Sage Acquisition
Corp. ("Sage") for cash of $4,250,000 and Sage's assumption of approximately
$250,000 of unearned revenue. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of
approximately $4,402,000. The assets sold consisted of computer network
equipment and service contracts.

10. INCOME TAXES

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows, as of:

</TABLE>

    At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
income tax purposes of approximately $6,200,000 which begin to expire in 2011.
Realization of these assets is contingent on having future taxable earnings. In
addition, certain stock transactions during 1997 resulted in the Company
incurring an ownership change as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
The result of this ownership change is to substantially limit the utilization of
the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards in the future. Based on the
cumulative losses in recent years and the limitation and the use of the
company's net operating losses management believes that a full valuation
allowance should be recorded

against the deferred tax asset. The income tax benefit differs from the amounts
computed by applying the Federal statutory rate of 34% to loss before taxes
principally as a result of the recording of the valuation allowance.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On March 24, 1999, the Company acquired First Institutional Marketing, Inc.
and certain of its affiliates ("FIMI") of Houston, Texas for 1,252,174 shares of
common stock. FIMI offers insurance and investment products to banks,
broker/dealers, insurance agencies and retail consumers. FIMI markets its
products primarily to insurance agencies affiliated with commercial banks and
broker/dealers. The Company will account for this acquisition as a purchase
transaction.

    On March 25, 1999, the Company issued 125 shares of its Series B Preferred
Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Net proceeds to the Company
from the Series B preferred sale were approximately $2,280,000. The Series B
preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into a number of
shares of common stock equal to a share-based factor. The Series B conversion
price is the lesser of (i) the average closing bid price during any four (4)
consecutive trading days during the twenty-five (25) consecutive trading day
period ending one (1) trading day prior to the day the notice of conversion is
sent to the Company, or (ii) $5.23. The shares may be redeemed by the Company at
a price equal to 120% of the face amount of the shares.

    In connection with the issuance and sale of the Series B preferred stock,
the Company granted the Series B preferred warrants to acquire an aggregate
225,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.70. The Company also
granted 25,000 warrants to a placement agent at an exercise price of $5.70. The
Series B preferred warrants will expire on March 24, 2004.

12. BASIS OF PRESENTATION--GOING CONCERN (UNAUDITED INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30,
1999)

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company continues to incur significant losses
resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $6.7 million and $11.3
million at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, respectively. The Company has
experienced negative cash flows from operations totaling approximately $4.4
million during the year ended December 31, 1998 and approximately $3.5 million
during the six month period ended June 30, 1999. The Company is dependent on
continued financing from investors to sustain its activities and there is no
assurance that such financing will be available. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. On September
7, 1999, the Company announced a reduction of its workforce and the planned sale
of its security division in order to reduce its expenses. The Company's
continued existence as a going concern is dependant upon adequate future debt or
equity funding and successful commercialization of its products and services.

                         NOTES TO 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 financial
statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
achieve a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of
HomeCom Communications, Inc. (the "Company") for the interim periods presented.
All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. ACQUISITION OF FIRST INSTITUTIONAL MARKETING, INC. ("FIMI")

    On March 24, 1999, the Company acquired First Institutional Marketing, Inc.,
and certain of its affiliates ("FIMI") of Houston, Texas for total consideration
of $4,236,104, consisting of 1,252,174 shares of common stock. The acquisition
has been accounted for as purchase transaction. The value of the shares was
determined by using the average closing stock price of the two days before and
after the definitive agreement was publicly announced. The Company will engage
an independent firm to assess the fair value of the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed. The resulting intangible assets will be amortized over a
period of approximately 3 years. Results of operations for FIMI are included
with those of the Company subsequent to the date of acquisition.

    Prior to the closing of the acquisition, the Company loaned the shareholders
of FIMI $370,000. The note is due January 29, 2000 and bears interest of 9%. The
loan may be repaid in cash or common stock.

    In connection with the acquisition, the principal shareholders of FIMI were
granted 300,000 warrants to acquire HomeCom common stock at an exercise price of
$3.74 per share. Vesting of the warrants is contingent upon FIMI meeting certain
operating goals as defined in the agreement. If the operating results are
obtained, the warrants vest ratably over a three-year period on the anniversary
date of the acquisition.

3. ACQUISITION OF GANYMEDE CORPORATION

    On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Ganymede Corporation ("Ganymede") for total consideration of $1,132,339,
consisting of 185,342 shares of common stock and $100,000 cash. The number of
shares was determined by dividing the total non-cash consideration by the
average closing price of the Company's stock for the 20 trading days prior to
April 9, 1999. The value of the shares was determined by using the average
closing stock price of the two days before and after the definitive agreement
was publicly announced. In addition, the Company entered into employment
agreements with the three principals of Ganymede, calling for them to continue
in their current roles for the acquired company.

    The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price
will be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values. The resulting intangible assets will be amortized over a
period of approximately 3 years. Results of operations for Ganymede have been
included with those of the Company for periods subsequent to the date of
acquisition.

4. ISSUANCE OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

    The Company issued Series B Preferred Stock totaling $2,500,000 on March 25,
1999 (the "Issuance Date"). The Series B Preferred Stock investors were issued
125 shares of preferred stock, having a stated value of $20,000 per share, and
225,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.70 per share. The

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  (UNAUDITED)

4. ISSUANCE OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
Company paid offering costs of $216,250 cash plus 25,000 warrants to purchase
common stock at $5.70 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$2,283,750 for the preferred shares and warrants.

    The Series B Preferred Stock bears no dividends and is convertible at the
option of the holder at the earlier of 90 days after issuance or the effective
date of a registration statement covering the shares. The warrants are
exercisable at any time and expire five years from the date of issuance.

    The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a
conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the average of the closing price for
four consecutive trading days in the twenty-five consecutive trading days ending
one day prior to the conversion date ($4.86 at the Issuance date) and (b) $5.23.
The number of common shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible is determined by dividing the stated value of the Series B Preferred
Stock, increased by 5% annually, by the conversion price. As the Series B
Preferred Stock is automatically convertible on March 24, 2002, the most
beneficial conversion ratio was determined to include the additional common
shares attributable to the 5% annual increase for the three year period ending
in 2002. After adjustment for this additional benefit the $4.86 conversion price
is reduced to $4.23, the most beneficial conversion price at the Issuance Date.

    In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, the
Company first allocated the net proceeds of $2,283,750 to the preferred stock
and the warrants based on their relative fair values at the Issuance Date,
resulting in $1,766,217 assigned to the preferred stock and $517,533 assigned to
the warrants as of March 24, 1999. The Company then allocated $899,284 of the
Series B net proceeds to additional paid in capital for the beneficial
conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a
deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which
the preferred shareholders can realize that return. Approximately $792,000 of
the beneficial conversion was amortized in the second quarter of 1999. The
balance of the beneficial conversion feature is being recognized from the
Issuance Date through March, 2002.

    The Company has the option to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock after 110
days for 120% of face value. Additionally, if the Company has issued common
stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock such that 19.99% of the
common stock outstanding is held by the preferred shareholders, the Company must
obtain approval of the shareholders before any more preferred shares can be
converted. If such approval is not obtained within 60 days shares of notice, the
preferred shareholders may require the Company to repurchase the remaining
Series B Preferred Stock at 120% of face value. At the Issuance Date, the
Company had obtained irrevocable proxies from shareholders representing
approximately 40% of the common shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the
number of shares should such vote be required. The Series B Preferred Stock is
presented outside of permanent equity as the outcome of the shareholder vote,
and possible redemption, is outside of the control of the Company.

5. ISSUANCE OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

    On July 28, 1999, the Company completed a private placement of $3,500,000
principal amount of the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and warrants to acquire up
to 59,574 shares of Common Stock (the "Series C Preferred Warrants"). The Series
C Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $20,000 per share, which stated
value increases at the rate of 6% per year (such stated value, as increased from
time to time, is referred to as the "Series C Stated Value"). Each Series C
Preferred Share is convertible, from and after 120 days following the date of
issuance, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of Common
Stock as is determined by dividing the Series C Stated Value by the lesser of
(a) $5.875, and (b) 82.5% of the average of the closing

bid prices for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. Any
Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on July 22, 2002 will
automatically be converted into Common Stock at the conversion price then in
effect.

    Pursuant to certain registration rights granted to the investors in the
private placement, we are obligated to file a registration statement (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") with
respect to a minimum of 1,244,444 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series C
Preferred Warrants. We are obligated to pay penalties if the Registration
Statement is not filed and/or declared effective within the specified time
periods. We may, at our option at any time after the 90th day following the
issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock through July 22, 2001, prohibit holders
of the Series C Preferred Stock from exercising any conversion rights for up to
90 days, provided that certain conditions are met. If we exercise that right, we
are required to compensate the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in cash
in an amount equal to 3% of the principal amount of the Series C Preferred Stock
held by each holder for each thirty days that prohibition is in effect (pro
rated for partial months) or, at our option, deliver Common Stock in payment of
such amount (based on the average closing bid prices for the Common Stock for
the twenty trading days preceding the end of each calendar month during the
period conversion is so prohibited).

    The right of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock to convert their
shares is also subject to the following restrictions: (i) during the period
beginning on the issuance date through the following 90 days, each holder may
not convert more than 25% of the Series C Preferred Stock purchased by such
holder; (ii) during the period beginning on the issuance date through the
following 120 days, each holder may not convert more than 50% of the Series C
Preferred Stock purchased by such holder; and (iii) during the period beginning
on the issuance date through the following 150 days, each holder may not convert
more than 75% of the Series C Preferred Stock purchased by such holder. At any
time after the issuance date, the Company shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to redeem, from time to time, any or all of the Series C Preferred
Stock; provided that certain conditions are met, including the availability of
cash, credit or standby underwriting facilities available to fund the
redemption. The redemption price will be calculated as (i) 105% of the original
purchase price for the first 30 days following the issuance date; (ii) 110% of
the original purchase price for the next 90 days thereafter and (iii) 120% of
the original purchase price after 120 days from the issuance date.

    The Series C Preferred Warrants expire on July 27, 2004 and have an exercise
price of $7.34 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.

6. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

    The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
128, "Earnings Per Share", effective December 31, 1997. Earnings (loss) per
common share was computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the period then ended. The effect of the Company's stock options
and convertible securities was excluded from the computations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999, as they are antidilutive.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    During 1998, HomeCom reorganized into five separate business units,
organized on the basis of products and services. Prior to that time, the Company
operated in a single business segment. The Company has determined that its
reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's method of internal
reporting, which disaggregates its business by product and service category into
business units. HomeCom's reportable segments are: custom Web development
(FAST), Internet outsourcing services (HostAmerica), Internet security services
(HISS), software products, and InsureRate/FIMI. On June 9, 1998, the Company
sold substantially all of the assets of its HostAmerica Internet outsourcing
services business unit to Sage Acquisition Corp.

disposal are reflected in income. Depreciation expense totaled $39,761 and
$23,895 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, and includes amortization of capital
leases.

advertising first takes place. No direct-response advertising is used by the
Companies. Total advertising expense for the years ending December 31, 1998 and
1997 was $43,038 and $59,468, respectively.

generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
FIMI Securities, Inc.
Houston, Texas

    We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of FIMI
Securities, Inc. (an S corporation), as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and changes in
financial condition for the period then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of FIMI Securities, Inc., as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

    Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information contained in
Schedules I, II, and III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary
information required by rule 17a-5 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Nature of the business--The Company was formed in 1994 primarily for the
purpose of qualifying and operating as a broker-dealer. The Company is a member
of the National Association of Security Dealers and is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and with various states' securities
commissions. The Company's primary business is in the wholesale brokerage of
variable annuities.

    Income taxes--The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company
does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the
stockholders are liable for individual federal income taxes on their respective
shares of income.

    Use of estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

    Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital,
as defined under such provisions. Net capital and the related net capital ratio
may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 1997, the Company had net
capital and net capital requirements of approximately $29,621 and $5,000
respectively. At December 31, 1998, the Company had net capital and net capital
requirements of approximately $44,338 and $5,000 respectively. The net capital
rules may effectively restrict the payment of cash dividends.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

    The management fee reported on the Statements of Income represents billings
from various affiliated companies for the fair market value of management and
administrative services rendered.

4. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER

    A significant portion of the commission income is derived from transactions
with one company. Approximately 79% in 1998 and 20% in 1997 of commission income
is attributable to one unrelated Brokerage Company.

5. LITIGATION

    During 1998 the Company was named in a lawsuit with certain affiliated
companies arising from a breach of contract dispute. At this time no estimate of
the potential outcome can be made by the Company's legal counsel. The Company
intends to vigorously defend its position.

6. PROPOSED SALE OF THE COMPANY

    On June 15, 1998 the shareholders of the Company signed a letter of intent,
along with the shareholders of other affiliated Companies, to exchange all of
the their common stock for common stock in HomeCom Communications, Inc. HomeCom
is a Company whose stock is listed on the NASDAQ. In November 1998 a merger
agreement was executed. In March 1999, HomeCom filed a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to cover the stock to be issued in
the merger. The merger is expected to be closed in early 1999.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:

    The Company is engaged in the development and maintenance of Internet web
sites and related consulting services. The Company also provides for host site
development and Internet connection. The Company's customers are in the greater
Chicagoland area.

CASH AND EQUIVALENTS:

    Cash and equivalents consist of checking accounts and certificates of
deposit with maturities of three months or less.

PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND RELATED DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for
depreciation and amortization of the various classes of assets over their
estimated useful lives, using primarily accelerated methods.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

    The Company recognizes revenue at the time services are performed.

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS:

    Advertising and promotion costs are charged to operations during the period
in which they are incurred. For the year ended December 31, 1998, such costs
were nominal.

USE OF ESTIMATES:

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. NOTE PAYABLE, BANK

    A bank line of credit agreement provides for a $54,107 revolving line of
credit, with interest due monthly at 8.44% per annum. The note is secured by a
certificate of deposit at the bank in the amount of $54,107. The line of credit
matures March 1, 1999.

3. NOTES PAYABLE, STOCKHOLDERS

    At December 31, 1998, the Company has unsecured notes payable to two
stockholders. The notes are due on demand and bear interest at the rate of 15%.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    In October 1998, the Company entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase
Agreement with Silicon Valley Financial Services. The agreement allows for the
Company to sell its receivables. No receivables have been sold as of December
31, 1998. In conjunction with the agreement, the Company has pledged its assets
and issued stock warrants for 3,750 shares of common stock to Silicon Valley

5. INCOME TAXES

    The Company elected S Corporation status for income tax purposes. Under this
election, the shareholders report corporate income, if any, on their personal
income tax return. Accordingly, at December 31, 1998, no provision was made for
federal or state income taxes.

6. EMPLOYEES' SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN

    The Company maintains an employee salary deferral plan. Participation is

8. STOCK OPTIONS

    The Company has a stock option plan which was adopted in 1997. Under the
plan, the Company may grant options to its employees for up to 50,000 shares of
common stock. The original exercise price for options granted under the plan was
$2.00, and the options are exercisable immediately without restrictions. The
options expire 10 years after the date of grant for shareholders owning less
then 10% and expire 5 years after the date of grant for shareholder owning 10%
or more. The fair value of the options is determined by the board of directors.
In October 1998, the board of directors granted 1,000 options to two employees.

    The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans.
The Company elected to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation
as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
and to provide pro forma disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements of the
effects of SFAS No. 123 on net income. There was no material effect on the
results of operations as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123. Compensation costs
are recognized as the difference between the exercise price of each option and
the market price of the Company's stock, and no compensation costs were charged
to expense in 1998.

</TABLE>

    The Company granted options for an additional 10,000 shares in January 1999.
The options have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and expire in 2009.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a
net loss of $69,249 during the year ended December 31, 1998 and, as of that
date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $218,977
and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $178,867. Those factors
create an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management of the Company has received a letter of intent to purchase
all of the outstanding stock of the Company which, if the transaction is carried
out, will provide the Company additional financing. The purchase price is based
on a multiple of one and a half times total revenues, and the transaction is
expected to close in April, 1999. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company does not consummate the
transaction and become unable to continue as a going concern.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION, ACCRUED SHAREHOLDERS' COMPENSATION

    As of December 31, 1998, the Company has accrued $125,000 to certain
shareholders as compensation for past services rendered. Total compensation
expense to shareholder-officers was $218,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998.

    The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the
acquisition by the Company of Ganymede in a transaction accounted for as a
purchase. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet is based on the individual
balance sheets of the Company appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K, and of Ganymede, appearing elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K,
and has been prepared to reflect the acquisition by the Company of Ganymede as
of December 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma statements of income are based on
the individual statements of income of the Company appearing in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K and of Ganymede, appearing elsewhere in this Current
Report on Form 8-K, and combines the results of operations of the Company and of
Ganymede (acquired by the Company as of April 23, 1999) for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as if the
acquisition occurred on January 1, 1998. These unaudited pro forma financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and notes thereto of the Company appearing in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, and of Ganymede, appearing elsewhere in this Current Report
on Form 8-K.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits a corporation to
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty
as a director, provided that no provision shall eliminate or limit the liability
of a director: (A) for an appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any
business opportunity of the corporation; (B) for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (C) for unlawful corporate
distributions; or (D) for any transaction from which the director received an
improper personal benefit. This provision pertains only to breaches of duty by
directors in their capacity as directors (and not in any other corporate
capacity, such as officers) and limits liability only for breaches of fiduciary
duties under Delaware corporate law (and not for violation of other laws, such
as the federal securities laws). HomeCom's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the "Restated Certificate") exonerates HomeCom's directors from monetary
liability to the extent permitted by this statutory provision.

    HomeCom's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws (the
"Restated Bylaws") also provide that HomeCom shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including any action by or in the right of HomeCom), by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of HomeCom, or is or
was serving at the request of HomeCom as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of HomeCom (and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if
such person had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was
unlawful), to the maximum extent permitted by, and in the manner provided by,
the DGCL.

    Notwithstanding any provisions of HomeCom's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Restated Bylaws to the contrary, the DGCL provides that
HomeCom shall not indemnify a director or officer for any liability incurred in
a proceeding in which the director is adjudged liable to HomeCom or is subjected
to injunctive relief in favor of HomeCom: (1) for any appropriation, in
violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of HomeCom; (2) for acts or
omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(3) for unlawful corporate distributions; or (4) for any transaction from which
the director or officer received an improper personal benefit.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

    The following list describes sales by the Registrant of securities in the
past three years which were not registered under the Securities Act.

    During the period from its formation in December 1994 through August 1996,
the Registrant has issued the securities set forth below which were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
All share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Registrant's September 1996
recapitalization and 93.07 for 1 stock split.

        1. In December 1994, in connection with the incorporation of the
    Registrant, the Registrant issued and sold to its sole stockholder 93,070
    shares of Common Stock for $27,706.

        2. In February 1996, in connection with the recapitalization of the
    Registrant, the Registrant issued and sold 707,332 shares of Common Stock to
    its President, Chief Executive Officer and sole stockholder for a total
    purchase price of $760.

        3. In February 1996, the Registrant issued and sold 93,070 shares of
    Common Stock to its Senior Vice President for a total purchase price of $10
    upon the exercise of stock options granted in connection with the founding
    of the Registrant.

        4. Pursuant to a privately negotiated transaction with five investors,
    the Registrant issued and sold to four of the investors in February 1996 an
    aggregate of 893,472 shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of
    $96, and issued and sold to three of the investors in February, March and
    May 1996 promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $499,904. In
    May 1997, pursuant to the terms of such promissory notes, the Registrant
    issued a total of 33,333 shares of Common Stock to the holders of such notes
    in partial repayment of the principal amounts owed thereunder.

        5. In August 1996, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 37,228 shares
    of Common Stock to four members of its former Board of Advisors upon
    exercise of warrants, for a total purchase price of $4.00.

        6. In August 1996, the Registrant issued and sold an aggregate of
    102,855 shares of Common Stock to six of its employees for a total purchase
    price of $468,004.22, paid through delivery of 8% promissory notes, payable
    25% per year, secured by the shares purchased thereby.

        7. In August 1996, in connection with the Registrant's acquisition of
    all of the stock of HomeCom internet Security Services, Inc., a Delaware
    corporation ("HISS"), the Registrant and the stockholders of HISS entered
    into a Stock Purchase Agreement which provides that the Registrant may, at
    its option, issue shares of its Common Stock as all or part of the earnout
    payments to be paid to such former stockholders pursuant to the Stock
    Purchase Agreement.

        8. In September 1996, the Registrant granted stock options (i) to three
    directors under its Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan to purchase an
    aggregate of up to 30,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) to 24 employees
    under its Stock Option Plan to purchase an aggregate of up to 79,167 shares
    of Common Stock.

        9. In September 1997, the Registrant issued and sold 5% convertible
    debentures (the "Debentures") to four private investors for an aggregate
    purchase price of $1,700,000. The Debentures were issued pursuant to the
    terms of a 5% Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement dated effective as of
    September 19, 1997 (the "Debenture Agreement"). Outstanding principal and
    interest on the Debentures is payable on September 22, 2000. The Debentures
    are convertible at the option of the holders. As of May 15, 1998, all of the
    5% Convertible Debentures had been converted into an aggregate 961,460
    shares of HomeCom's Common Stock. In connection with the issuance of the
    Debentures, the Registrant granted to an entity designated by the investors
    aggregate warrants to acquire 400,000 shares of Common Stock, with warrants
    to acquire 200,000 of such shares exercisable

                                      II-2
<PAGE>
    at a price of $4.00 per share and warrants to acquire the remaining 200,000
    of such shares exercisable at a price of $6.00 per share. If not earlier
    exercised, these warrants expire on October 27, 2000.

        10. In December 1997, the Registrant issued 20,000 shares of its Series
    A Convertible preferred stock (the "Series A preferred stock") to private
    investors (the "Series A Preferred Holders") for an aggregate purchase price
    of $2,000,000. Net proceeds to the Registrant were approximately $1.8
    million. As of August 15, 1998, all of the Series A preferred stock had been
    converted into an aggregate 711,456 shares of HomeCom's Common Stock.

        In connection with the issuance and sale of the Series A preferred
    stock, the Registrant granted warrants to the Series A Preferred Holders to
    acquire an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock, with warrants to
    purchase 62,500 shares of Common Stock having an exercise price per share
    equal to $14.50625 and warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock
    having an exercise price per share equal to $15.825. The Registrant also
    granted 50,000 warrants to a placement agent at an exercise price of $15.825
    per share. These warrants to purchase an aggregate 125,000 shares of Common
    Stock (the "Series A preferred stock Warrants") will expire on December 31,
    2000 and are eligible to be exercised at any time on or after June 23, 1998.

        11. On April 16, 1998, HomeCom acquired all of the outstanding capital
    stock of The Insurance Resource Center, Inc. ("IRC") for 351,391 shares of
    HomeCom's Common Stock. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
    Reorganization, HomeCom filed a registration statement for 175,696 of such
    shares on June 12, 1998. IRC shall remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    HomeCom.

    The sales and issuance of shares listed above were exempt from registration
under the Securities Act by virtue of Sections 4(2) and 3(b) thereof and in
reliance on Rule 701 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The recipients of
the above-described securities represented their intention to acquire the
securities for investment only and not with a view to distribution thereof.
Appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to stock certificates and warrants
issued in such transactions.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

    (a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
    a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

        (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;

        (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
    effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
    represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
    Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
    decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
    securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
    deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range
    may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
    pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
    price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
    offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
    the effective Registration Statement; and

        (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
    material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
    to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
    any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
    termination of the offering.

    (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1993 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    (c) The Registrant hereby undertakes that:

        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, the
    information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
    Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form
    of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
    497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of the Registration
    Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

        (2) For purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each
    post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
    to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about September 10, 1999 (the
"Registration Statement") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 of shares of your common stock (the "Shares"), to be sold
by certain shareholders listed in the Registration Statement (the "Selling
Shareholders"). As your legal counsel in connection with this transaction, we
have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings
proposed to be taken by you in connection with the sale of the Shares.

    As counsel to you, we have examined such corporate records, documents,
instruments, certificates of public officials and of the Company and such
questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering the
opinions set forth herein.

    It is our opinion that the Shares, when sold by the selling shareholders in
the manner described in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

    We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever it appears in the
Registration Statement and in any amendment to it.
