Item 1.  BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     This  report   contains   forward-looking   statements   based  on  current
expectations,  estimates  and  projections  about  Value  America,  Inc's.  (the
"Company"  or  "Value  America")  industry,  management's  beliefs  and  certain
assumptions  made by  management.  All  statements,  trends,  analyses and other
information  contained  in this report  relative  to trends in net sales,  gross
margin,  anticipated expense levels, liquidity and capital resources, as well as
other  statements,  including,  but not limited to, words such as  "anticipate,"
"believe," "plan," "estimate,"  "expect," "seek" and "intend," and other similar
expressions,   constitute  forward-looking  statements.   These  forward-looking
statements  involve  risks and  uncertainties,  and  actual  results  may differ
materially from those  anticipated or expressed in such  statements.  Particular
attention  should be paid to the cautionary  statements  involving the Company's
limited operating  history,  the  unpredictability  of its future revenues,  the
unpredictable   and  evolving  nature  of  its  business  model,  the  intensely
competitive online commerce and retail industries, and the risks associated with
capacity constraints,  systems development,  management of growth, acquisitions,
any new products and  international or domestic  business  expansion.  Except as
required  by  law,  the  Company   undertakes   no   obligation  to  update  any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise. Readers, however, should carefully review the factors set forth in
other reports or documents that the Company files from time to time with the
SEC.

Overview:

     Value America,  Inc. was  incorporated in March 1996 in the State of Nevada
and reincorporated in October 1997 in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The Company
derives its revenues  from three  sources:  (a) sales of products  through Value
America's  online  store,  (b)  fees  collected  from   manufacturers   for  the
preparation and hosting of product  presentations  and listing of manufacturers'
products  available for purchase on the online store, and (c) advertising on the
online  store.  Product  sales  continue to account for the vast majority of the
Company's   revenues.   Customers   enter  Value   America's   online  store  at
www.valueamerica.com  or  www.va.com.  Customers can register for  membership or
shop as a guest.  They may conduct  targeted  product or brand searches,  browse
through  the  store's  product  offerings,  buy  products,  obtain  personalized
shopping services,  view multi-media product presentations,  check order status,
obtain a receipt  for a  previous  purchase  and check  warranty  status.  As of
December 31, 1999, Value America had approximately 760,000 members.

Sale of Products:

     Value America offers a wide  selection of  technology,  office and consumer
products for sale on its online store.  Individual and business  customers visit
Value America's online store as a result of its traditional advertising,  direct
response marketing,  online promotions and affinity marketing programs,  as well
as through Internet  browsing.  Customers  purchase products online by selecting
the items they wish to buy and providing payment and shipping information. Value
America offers a toll-free  telephone number that customers can call to complete
a purchase transaction or obtain additional customer service. Once a product has
been purchased, Value America transmits ordering and shipping information to the
manufacturer or distributor.  Value America's  vendors ship products directly to
the customer.  Revenues from product sales are recognized upon delivery of goods
to customers.  Value America is responsible for  establishing  product  pricing,
advertising,  selling the merchandise,  providing  customer  service,  arranging
shipping, insuring goods during shipment,  collecting payment from the customer,
and processing returns.  Value America takes title to products upon shipment and
bears the risk of loss for  collection,  delivery and  merchandise  returns from
customers.  Many of the Company's vendors grant merchandise  return  privileges.
Value America  occasionally  purchases  merchandise prior to receiving  customer
orders and records such  merchandise  as inventory  until  shipped to customers.
Value America  records a returns reserve to reduce revenues and cost of revenues
for estimated product returns at the time of sale.

Product Presentations:

     Value  America has  contractual  agreements  with many of its vendors under
which Value America develops and maintains  multi-media product presentations on
Value America's online store.  These  agreements  provide for the development of
the  presentations,  the  posting of the  presentations  and the  listing of the
manufacturers'  products  on Value  America's  Internet  site,  typically  for a
specified  period.  For  agreements  entered into prior to January 1, 1998,  the
listing period  generally  extended for 36 months;  for agreements  entered into
after  that  date,  the  period  generally  has been 12  months.  Value  America
recognizes  the costs of developing  presentations  and listing  products on its
Internet site as incurred and  recognizes the product  presentation  and listing
revenues  ratably  over the period of the related  agreement.  Amounts  that are
billed under the terms of these agreements, but not yet earned, are reflected as
deferred


<PAGE>


revenue. Certain of these agreements provide that suppliers pay a renewal fee to
continue  product  listings  beyond the initial listing  periods.  Revenues from
these renewal fees are recognized  ratably over the renewal term.  Value America
discontinued  the  practice of  charging  for  product  presentations  beginning
January 1, 2000.

Advertising Revenue:

     Value  America  sells  advertising  space to vendors  on its online  store.
Innovative  multimedia  advertisements  highlight  products and their  features,
functions,  benefits  and  applications.   Additionally,   Value  America  sends
Electronic  Direct  Mail  ("EDM")  to its  members to keep them  informed  about
special  promotions.  Advertising revenue is recognized over the period in which
the  related  advertisement  is offered  on the online  store or when the EDM is
sent. Value America recognizes the costs of developing these  advertisements and
EDMs as incurred.

Business Model:

     The Value America business model is designed to utilize the benefits of the
Internet and electronic commerce to provide superior value to both consumers and
manufacturers.  Value  America  provides  customers  with value by offering them
convenient  access to  quality  brand  name  products,  responsive  service  and
pertinent  product  information.  Value  America  believes that its online store
offers  customers a number of benefits that  differentiate  it from  traditional
retailers and distributors, including:

     o    Quality and selection of recognized brands
     o    Value pricing
     o    Information-rich marketing
     o    Customer convenience
     o    Personalized service

The Online Retail Opportunity:

     The Internet  provides  retailers with the opportunity to offer a broad and
evolving  selection  of  merchandise  from a wide array of  product  categories.
Retailers can have access to input product information and users can have access
to shop 24-hours-a-day,  365-days-a-year.  An online store, unlike a traditional
retail  store,  is  not  limited  by  the  constraints  and  expenses  of  store
construction,  real estate  selection,  shelf  space,  in-store  staffing or the
customer  inconvenience  associated  with  travel to and from a store  location.
Internet  retailers  have  the  ability  to  react  quickly  to  update  product
descriptions,  pricing and mix without incurring  substantial costs in revising,
printing and mailing catalogs.

     The Internet is a highly  interactive medium through which online retailers
can track  shopper  responses and  preferences,  thereby  enabling  retailers to
customize their online stores,  target specific customer groups and individuals,
and  tailor  cross-selling  efforts.  Online  retailers  also  benefit  from the
traditional   marketing   and   advertising   strategies   employed  by  product
manufacturers,  which  typically  invest  substantial  amounts to advertise  the
benefits and features of their  branded  products.  Product  manufacturers  also
typically utilize television,  radio and print advertising to build strong brand
recognition.  In turn, consumers seek out their preferred brands and products in
each of the  channels  in which  they are  available  for  sale,  including  the
Internet.  Online  retailers  can use EDI to  facilitate  the  entire  ordering,
shipping, invoicing and documentation process, thereby reducing costs throughout
the supply chain and  increasing  their ability to service their  customers more
cost-effectively and efficiently.

     The Company believes that an electronic  commerce strategy can enable it to
provide  a  comprehensive  solution  to the  difficulties  associated  with  the
traditional  retail  market.  The Company has  identified  three segments of the
traditional  retailing industry that are particularly  attractive for electronic
commerce:  (i)  technology  products,  (ii)  office  products  and  (iii)  media
products.

The Value America Solution:

     Value America is an Internet-based  destination retailer that offers a wide
selection of technology,  office and consumer  products for sale at its Internet
site, www.valueamerica.com.  Consumers visit the Value America online store as a
result of the Company's  traditional  advertising,  direct  response  marketing,
online promotions, affinity marketing and Internet browsing.

     The Value America business model is designed to utilize the benefits of the
Internet and  electronic  commerce to provide  customers  with value by offering
convenient  access to  quality  brand  name  products,  responsive  service  and
pertinent product information. The Value America online store also addresses the
desire of  manufacturers  and distributors to have direct exposure to individual
consumers and  businesses,  the ability to sell products based upon their merits
and distribution efficiency.

     The Company  believes  that its online store  offers  customers a number of
benefits  that   differentiate  the  Company  from  traditional   retailers  and
distributors:

     o    Quality and Selection of Recognized  Brands.  As an online store,  the
          Company's  virtually unlimited shelf space allows the Company to offer
          a broad variety of technology  products,  office products and consumer
          products  from a large  number of leading  manufacturers.  The Company
          believes that  customers  shopping on the Internet,  a relatively  new
          commercial medium,  will be more comfortable  purchasing products with
          recognized brand names.

     o    Value  Pricing.  The Company's  fixed cost  infrastructure  and direct
          distribution  process is designed to enable the Company to offer brand
          name products at lower prices.

     o    Information-Rich  Marketing. In order to educate customers,  the Value
          America  online  store is  designed  to provide  valuable  information
          regarding the features,  functions,  benefits and  applications of the
          products sold by the Company. The Company's store utilizes interactive
          multi-media  presentations to encourage  purchases and allow customers
          to make informed purchase decisions.

     o    Customer   Convenience.   Value   America's   online   store  is  open
          24-hours-a-day,  365-days-a-year  and is available  to  consumers  and
          business  customers  through any computer  with Internet  access.  The
          Company's   graphical  user  interface  and  database   design  enable
          customers to organize the store in a manner  specifically  designed to
          meet their shopping styles.  Customers can shop in the Company's store
          by category, product, brand or price.

     o    Personalized   Service.   The  Company's  store  emphasizes   customer
          satisfaction by offering personalized  services,  including Web access
          to  receipts,  shipping  and  warranty  information.  The store greets
          members by name,  thanks them for the last products they purchased and
          asks them to share their opinions about their shopping  experience and
          the  purchased  products.  The  Company  provides  telephone  customer
          service,  as well as  recommendations  for  additional  purchases  and
          reminders of important dates such as  anniversaries  and birthdays via
          electronic mail. The store retains and utilizes shipping addresses and
          billing data to make check outs more efficient.

The Company believes that its electronic commerce model offers four key benefits
to manufacturers:

     o    Broader Reach.  The Company's online presence  provides  manufacturers
          with  access to an  increasingly  large base of  customers  beyond the
          reach of any individual brick-and-mortar retailer or catalog operator.

     o    Closer  Customer   Contact.   The  Company   solicits   manufacturer's
          suggestions   regarding  the   development  of   multi-media   product
          presentations  in order to properly  present  product  information  to
          customers.

     o    Emphasis on Product Merits. The multi-media  product  presentations in
          the Company's online store provide  manufacturers with the opportunity
          to  educate  potential  customers  as to  the  benefits  and  features
          associated with their products.  Consequently,  manufacturers are able
          to sell products on their merits, rather than price alone.

     o    Efficient Distribution. Value America's technology platform is capable
          of   processing   order   information    electronically   to   product
          manufacturers,  distribution  centers and freight  companies,  thereby
          facilitating  efficient  delivery of purchased goods directly from the
          manufacturer or distributor to the customer. The Company is seeking to
          automate its  distribution  process further by  implementing  EDI-only
          order processing.

The Value America Store:

The Company's online store offers customers the following key features:

     Multiple Methods of Shopping.  The customer  interface of the Value America
store  enables  customers  to  organize  the store to suit  their  own  shopping
preferences. The store can be organized to permit shopping by category, brand or
product type.  The Value America store also allows  customers to shop solely for
new products or for special  promotional  offerings.  Customers  may also use an
internal  search engine to search for products by keywords.  When customers shop
by brand,  the store  displays  the logos  associated  with the  leading  brands
offered by the Company.


<PAGE>


     Informative  Product  Presentations.  Each of the  products  offered by the
Company is accompanied by at least one of four different  types of product.  The
four types of presentations are:

     o    standard  picture  listings,  which  present a digital and  compressed
          color  picture  of the  product,  list the  product's  most  important
          specifications and provide specific product purchasing information.

     o    basic  presentations,  which add to the picture  listing by  providing
          several  pages of copy and visual  images that  describe  features and
          benefits.

     o    multi-media  presentations,  which provide a further  in-depth look at
          the  product  through a  combination  of  photographs,  illustrations,
          special effects and audio streaming.

     o    video presentations,  which provide customers with a full motion video
          demonstration of the product,  including a detailed audio  description
          of its features and benefits and a textual  description of the history
          and applications of the product.

     Personalized  Shopping Services.  Customers may become members of the Value
America  online  store  and  obtain  access  to the  benefits  of the  Company's
personalized shopping services. This membership entitles customers to additional
discounts,  typically 5%, from the prices that are available to all shoppers, as
well as  other  member  benefits  such as  bonus  "Value  America  Dollars"  and
retention of shipping and credit information to make additional purchases faster
and easier.  The Value  America  store  offers the use of an animated  "personal
shopper"  who greets  members by name and who can serve as a guide  through  the
store's  features and functions.  A member's  personal  shopper can be used as a
convenient  method to (i) retain  access to  receipts,  product  warranties  and
information   relating  to  past  Value  America   purchases,   (ii)  track  the
accumulation  of Value  America  Dollars and (iii) remind  shoppers of important
dates,  such as  birthdays  and  anniversaries,  which may require gift or other
product purchases. Membership in the Value America store is currently free.

     Convenient  Ways to Order.  Customers  may order  products  either on Value
America's  Internet  site or via a  toll-free  telephone  number and may pay for
purchases  by credit or debit  card or by check.  Regardless  of the  purchasing
method selected by the customer,  substantially all purchases are routed through
the  technological  platform that  supports the Company's  online store so as to
allow customers  access to order status,  shipping and warranty  information via
the Internet.

     Wide  Selection  of  Leading  Branded  Products.  The Value  America  store
emphasizes brand name products from leading  manufacturers  across a broad array
of product categories.  The Company organizes its products into 6 categories for
shopping: consumer and business personal computers, software and PC peripherals,
consumer  electronics  including TV, audio and cameras,  media including  DVD's,
video, music and books, office supplies, and other complementary products.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     The Company's  objective is to become the leading  online  electronics  and
office  products  store.  Value America will continue to enhance and broaden its
brand,  customer base and  electronic  expertise with the goal of delivering the
best products at competitive  prices. The Company intends to attain this goal by
deepening the products lines offered in each product category, reducing the time
between  order  and  shipment  and  improving  the  overall  customer   shopping
experience.   Value   America   expects   to   expand   its   presence   in  the
Business-to-Business  market and move  rapidly  into the  Business-to-Government
marketplace.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In the fourth  quarter  of 1999,  Value  America  experienced  turnover  in
several  executive level positions  including  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Chief
Information  Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer.  The Company's new executive
management  decided to focus its operations on its core lines of business and as
a  result  of this  decision  management  announced  a  strategic  restructuring
approved by the  Company's  Board of Directors  on December 29, 1999.  Under the
restructuring  plan, the Company will eliminate  certain  non-core product lines
from the  Value  America  online  store.  Additionally,  under  the terms of the
restructuring plan the Company announced on December 29, 1999 the termination of
202 employees  resulting in a 50% reduction in headcount.  In the fourth quarter
of 1999,  Value  America  began  implementation  of its  restructuring  plan and
recorded a  restructuring  charge that  increased the Company's net loss by $2.7
million or $0.07 per share.  The  restructuring  charge included $2.2 million of
employee severance, $0.1 million in settlement of office leases and $0.4 million
of professional fees and other expenses  associated with the restructuring plan.
The Company  expects to  complete  its  restructuring  plan during the first six
months  of 2000 and has  accrued  the  total  estimated  costs to  complete  the
restructuring  plan at December  31,  1999.  The Company  plans to redirect  its
resources  to  execute  its  business   model  in  the  following  core  product
categories:

     o    Consumer  and business  personal  computers;
     o    Software and PC  peripherals;
     o    Consumer  electronics  including  TV,  audio and cameras;
     o    Media  including DVD's,  video, music and books;
     o    Office supplies;  and Other  complementary products.

     Also in the fourth  quarter of 1999,  the Company  recorded $2.2 million in
other activities.  This charge included,  among other things,  the settlement of
contracts  related to the product lines  eliminated  from the  Company's  online
store,   executive   severance  payments  and  settlement  of  certain  purchase
commitments.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1999, Value America had 404 employees.  Value America believe
that its future  success  will  depend in large part on its  ability to attract,
hire and retain qualified  personnel.  Value America believes its  relationships
with its employees are good. None of Value America's employees is represented by
a collective  bargaining  agent and Value  America has never  experienced a work
stoppage.

Item 2.  PROPERTIES

     The Company's  principal office  facilities  currently total  approximately
78,500  square feet and are located in  Charlottesville,  Virginia  under leases
that expire in February,  2000 through November,  2002. The Company does not own
any real  estate as of  December  31,  1999.  The  Company is in the  process of
reducing  office  space by  approximately  21,700  square feet within the next 6
months as the result of its plan of  restructure  (see Note 12 of the  Company's
Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  During 1999,  the Company  entered into a
contract to purchase approximately 34.4 acres of land on which it had planned to
build a corporate  headquarters  building. The Company has since abandoned plans
to build a headquarters  building and completed a settlement  agreement with the
seller in February 2000.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On March 24, 1999,  the Company was served with a complaint  that was filed
in the United  States  District  Court for the  Northern  District  of  Georgia,
Atlanta Division, by Coupons, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Coupons").  On April
9, 1999, Coupons served an amended complaint,  joining Stephen S. Freedman as an
additional  plaintiff and alleging  several causes of action,  including  unfair
competition,  fraudulent  registration  of service  marks,  common law trademark
infringement, unfair competition,  deceptive trade practices, false advertising,
fraud,  fraudulent  misrepresentations,  and  rescission of contract and, in the
alternative, breach of contract. The complaint seeks rescission of a December 3,
1997 agreement between Stephen S. Freedman,  injunctive relief barring most uses
by the Company of the "VALUE AMERICA" mark,  treble damages and an accounting of
profits  under the Trademark  Act of 1946,  as amended,  punitive  damages of at
least $1.0 million and  cancellation of the Company's  "VALUE  AMERICA"  service
mark  registrations.  The  Company  believes  that the  claims  asserted  in the
foregoing action are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.

     The Company and four former  officers  have been named as  defendants  in a
securities  fraud  action  filed in the  United  States  District  Court for the
Western  District of Virginia,  Charlottesville  Division on January 10, 2000 by
Marvin E.  Sikes,  as  representative  of a  putative  class of  plaintiffs  who
purchased or otherwise  acquired  shares of the  Company's  common stock between
April 7, 1999 through  December 28, 1999 (the "Class  Period").  On February 11,
2000, three similar actions were filed against the Company. These actions allege
that the Company's public statements contained  misrepresentations  or omissions
of material adverse information regarding the Company's financial condition that
allegedly  caused  the  market  price  of  the  Company's  common  stock  to  be
artificially  inflated  during the Class Period.  Counsel to the Company filed a
motion to  consolidate  all actions  against the Company on February  17,  2000.
Based on its preliminary review of the complaint, Value America believes that it
has valid defenses to each of the claims asserted by the plaintiffs.

     The Company received a Pre-Filing Notice to Prospective Defendant, dated as
of October 22, 1999, from the Consumer  Protection Unit of the District Attorney
for Marin County,  California in connection with an  investigation  into alleged
advertising  and sale of  computer  components  designed  for use by an original
equipment manufacturer as retail computer components in California. Based on its
preliminary  review  of the  Notice,  the  Company  believes  that it has  valid
defenses to the claims presented.

     The Federal  Trade  Commission  ("FTC") has  instituted an inquiry into the
advertisement of free or reduced-cost  personal computer systems,  the discounts
on which are contingent upon the customers'  subscription to an Internet service
provider's  services for a fixed period of time.  Specifically,  the FTC asserts
that the  disclosure of this  contingency  was not  sufficiently  clear from the
contents and layout of the  Company's  advertisements.  The Company has produced
documents  to FTC  pursuant to its  requests,  and awaits  further  requests for
information and/or other correspondence therefrom. The Company believes that the
claims asserted in the foregoing  action are without merit and intends to defend
the action vigorously.

     The Company  believes that the foregoing  lawsuits will not have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matters were submitted for a vote of  stockholders of the Company during
the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1999.

provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     The  professional fee in 1998 resulted from a transaction in which Craig A.
Winn, the former Chairman and a Founder of Value America, sold 288,321 shares of
common stock to an entity that assisted in the  promotion of private  placements
of Value America's  securities.  Value America recognized the excess of the fair
value of the common stock sold by Mr. Winn over the consideration he received as
a  period  expense  (see  Note  7  of  the  Company's   Consolidated   Financial
Statements).

     In the  fourth  quarter of 1999,  Value  America  recorded a  restructuring
charge that increased the Company's net loss by $2.7 million or $0.07 per share.
The restructuring  charge included  employee  severance  payment,  settlement of
office  leases and  professional  fees and other  expenses  associated  with the
restructuring  plan.  Also in the fourth quarter of 1999,  the Company  recorded
$2.2 million in other activities.  This charge included, among other things, the
settlement  of  contracts  related  to the  product  lines  eliminated  from the
Company's online store,  executive  severance payments and settlement of certain
purchase commitments.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     Value  America's  revenues  are derived  from three  sources:  (a) sales of
products   through  Value  America's  online  store,  (b)  fees  collected  from
manufacturers  for the  preparation  and  hosting of product  presentations  and
listing of manufacturers'  products  available for purchase on the online store,
and (c) advertising on the online store.  Value America's  vendors ship products
directly to the customer after a customer places an order. Revenues from product
sales are recognized upon delivery to the customer. Value America is responsible
for  establishing  product pricing,  advertising,  providing  customer  service,
arranging  shipping,  insuring goods during  shipment,  selling the merchandise,
collecting  payment from the customer,  ensuring  that the shipment  reaches the
customer and  processing  returns.  Value  America  takes title to products upon
shipment and bears the risk of loss for  collection,  delivery  and  merchandise
returns from customers.  Many of the Company's vendors grant merchandise  return
privileges.  Value America occasionally purchases merchandise prior to receiving
customer  orders and records  such  merchandise  as inventory  until  shipped to
customers.  Value America accrues a reserve for estimated product returns at the
time of sale as a direct reduction to sales and cost of sales. To date, payments
for products  purchased  through the online store have been  primarily made with
credit cards.  Value  America  generally  receives  payment from the credit card
company within one to four business days.

     Value  America has  contractual  agreements  with many of its vendors under
which Value America develops and maintains  multi-media product presentations on
Value America's online store.  These  agreements  provide for the development of
the  presentations,  the  posting of the  presentations  and the  listing of the
manufacturers'  products  on Value  America's  Internet  site,  typically  for a
specified  period.  For  agreements  entered into prior to January 1, 1998,  the
listing period  generally  extended for 36 months;  for agreements  entered into
after  that  date,  the  period  generally  has been 12  months.  Value  America
recognizes  the costs of developing  presentations  and listing  products on its
Internet site as incurred and  recognizes the product  presentation  and listing
revenues  ratably  over the period of the related  agreement.  Amounts  that are
billed under the terms of these agreements, but not yet earned, are reflected as
deferred  revenue.  Certain of these  agreements  provide that  suppliers  pay a
renewal fee to continue  product  listings beyond the initial  listing  periods.
Revenues from these renewal fees are  recognized  ratably over the renewal term.
Value America  discontinued  the practice of charging for product  presentations
beginning January 1, 2000.

     Value  America  sells  advertising  space to vendors  on its online  store.
Innovative  multimedia  advertisements  highlight  products and their  features,
functions,  benefits  and  applications.   Additionally,   Value  America  sends
Electronic  Direct  Mail  ("EDM")  to its  members to keep them  informed  about
special  promotions.  Advertising revenue is recognized over the period in which
the  related  advertisement  is offered  on the online  store or when the EDM is
sent. Value America recognizes the costs of developing these  advertisements and
EDMs as incurred.

     As a result of the recent decision by the Company to offer free shipping to
its customers,  the Company has reclassified shipping costs out of cost of sales
and into sales and  marketing  expenses  for all  periods  for  consistency.  As
previously disclosed,  Value America takes title to all products at the point of
shipment from the manufacturer/vendor warehouse. Value America uses its shippers
(FedEx,  UPS,  etc.) to pick up its products  from the  manufacturer/vendor  and
deliver  products to  customers.  Value  America  directly pays its shippers for
these outbound shipping costs.  Value America also maintains  separate insurance
on its inventory during the shipping process.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998

Revenues

     Revenues  primarily consist of product sales through Value America's online
store, product  presentation and listing fees,  advertising and shipping charged
to customers.  For the year ended  December 31, 1999,  revenues  totaled  $182.6
million  representing  a 331.6%  increase  from $42.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998.  Revenues from product sales were $177.5 million for the year
ended  December 31, 1999,  compared to $41.0 million for the year ended December
31,  1998,  representing  an  increase  of 332.5%.  The growth in product  sales
reflects the growth of Value  America's  customer  base,  repeat  purchases from
existing  customers,  increases in the volume of merchandise sold and an overall
increase in demand for Value America's merchandise.

     Revenues  from  advertising  and other were $5.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999,  an increase of 301.6%  compared to $1.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The increase in advertising  revenues was driven by two
new  initiatives  that  commenced in the first quarter of 1999:  advertising  on
Value  America's  web site and direct  advertising  through EDM.  Value  America
recognized   approximately   $3.1  million  in  web  site  advertising  and  EDM
advertising  in the year ended  December  31,  1999,  compared to $0 in the year
ended  December  31,  1998.  Product  presentation  listing  fees  increased  to
approximately  $2.0  million in 1999  compared  to $1.3  million  in 1998.  This
increase in product  presentation  listing fees  reflects  the 1999  increase in
brand offerings on Value America's  online store.  The Company records a reserve
to reduce  revenues and cost of revenues  for an amount  equal to the  estimated
product  returns.  For the years  ended  December  31,  1999 and  1998,  product
returns,  including returns resulting from  malfunctioning  products,  erroneous
shipments and other  quality-related  issues,  as a percentage of product sales,
was approximately 6% and 4%, respectively.

     Charges to customers  for  shipping,  which  represent  approximately  $5.7
million and $0.8  million of revenue for the years ended  December  31, 1999 and
1998, respectively, are classified in revenue. As noted above, outbound shipping
costs  have been  reclassified  from  cost of  revenues  to sales and  marketing
expenses.   All  periods   presented   have  been   adjusted  to  reflect   this
reclassification.

Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues  primarily  consists of payments to third party  suppliers
for  merchandise.  Value America incurred $165.8 million of cost of revenues for
the year ended December 31, 1999. For the year ended December 31, 1998,  cost of
revenues  totaled  $40.8  million.  Gross  margins  represent  9.2%  and 3.6% of
revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Value  America's  gross margin has increased from $1.5 million for the year
ended  December 31, 1998 to $16.8 million for the year ended  December 31, 1999.
This  increase  is due to the  stronger  margins  earned on  certain  technology
products and  advertising  revenues.  Product sales resulted in gross margins of
$12.6 million (7.1% of product  sales) and $1.0 million (2.4% of product  sales)
for the years ended  December  31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Value  America
continues  to utilize a  short-term  strategy of  selectively  accepting  narrow
margins on selected product sales to maximize sales volumes, brand awareness and
product selection.

Sales, Advertising and Marketing

     Sales,  advertising and marketing expenses consist of costs associated with
promoting Value America's  online store to potential  customers and vendors,  as
well as payroll and related  expenses,  credit card fees and  outbound  shipping
costs.  Value America Dollars  offered under  promotional  programs  directed at
attracting  new  customers  or as bonuses  to  encourage  sales of a  particular
product are also recorded in sales,  advertising and marketing expenses.  Sales,
advertising  and marketing  expenses  increased  from $39.3 million for the year
ended  December 31, 1998 to $101.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The increase  primarily  reflected  an increase in the number of  merchandising,
advertising  and promotion  department  employees and a general  increase in the
level of Value America's promotional activities.  As a percent of revenues these
expenses have decreased from 92.8% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 55.7%
for the year ended  December  31, 1999.  Advertising  and  promotional  expenses
increased  from $33.2  million  for the year ended  December  31,  1998 to $69.6
million  (including  $10.3 million of Value America Dollar  promotions)  for the
year ended December 31, 1999, net of  cooperative  advertising of  approximately
$2.0 million for the year ended  December 31, 1998 and $8.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999. Value America Dollars that are not used for promotional
purposes are recorded as a reduction in revenues if they are issued for customer
relationship  purposes  and in cost of  revenues if they are earned on a current
sale for use on a future  sale.  Payroll  expenses  relating  to  merchandising,
advertising and promotion  departments  increased from $3.4 million for the year
ended  December 31, 1998 to $13.6 million for the year ended  December 31, 1999.
Value  America  intends  to  continue  to  increase  its  market  share  through
advertising  by improving the overall  sales to ad ratio.  Value America has not
entered into any advertising for advertising barter arrangements.

     Charges  for  outbound  shipping  of  approximately  $6.7  million and $0.8
million are  classified in sales,  advertising  and  marketing  expenses for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Prior to January 1, 1999,
the cost of shipping had been  recorded as a cost of the related  sale. As noted
above,  all periods  presented have been revised to reflect this  classification
change.

General and Administrative

     General and  administrative  expenses  consist of management  and executive
compensation,  professional  services, bad debts and general corporate expenses,
such as facilities and telephone expenses.  General and administrative  expenses
increased  from $7.0  million  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998 to $24.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase reflected the hiring
of additional  executives,  charges for bad debts and increased corporate leased
facilities  charges  to  support  the rapid  expansion  of  operations.  Payroll
expenses relating to general and  administrative  personnel  increased from $2.4
million for the year ended  December  31, 1998 to $7.4 million in the year ended
December 31, 1999.  Credit card  chargebacks  by customers  for goods shipped to
customers but not returned  increased to approximately  $3.1 million in 1999 and
bad debt expense  increased to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999
from $1.0 million for the year ended  December 31, 1998.  Value America  expects
that  general  and  administrative  expenses  will  continue  to  decrease  as a
percentage  of revenues as it continues to broaden its consumer  base,  increase
its  market  share and  revenues  and  decrease  costs as a result of the recent
restructuring.

Restructuring and Other Activities

     In the  fourth  quarter of 1999,  the Board of  Directors  appointed  a new
executive  management  team to the Company.  In December 1999, the new executive
management  team and the Board of  Directors  decided to refocus  the  Company's
operations  on its core lines of business.  On December  28, 1999,  the Board of
Directors  approved a plan,  prepared by the new executive  management  team, to
restructure  Value America's  operations.  As a result,  significant  brands and
product  lines  previously  sold by the Company  will be  discontinued,  and the
Company will direct its resources on several core product categories: computers,
software,  consumer electronics,  media, office supplies and other complementary
products.  This change in focus has reduced the number of vendors  from over 450
to fewer than 75.

     The  restructuring  plan was  begun in the  fourth  quarter  of 1999 and is
expected to be completed by June 30, 2000. The plan required the  termination of
202 employees and cancellation of four office leases. The employee  terminations
represented  a 50%  reduction in  headcount.  The  restructuring  charge of $2.7
million is comprised of $2.2 million for employee terminations, $0.1 million for
lease  terminations  and $0.4 million for  professional  fees. These amounts are
classified  in  "restructuring   and  other  activities"  on  the  statement  of
operations.

     All  employees  were notified of their  terminations  during the week ended
December 31, 1999. The employee groups terminated  included all functional areas
within the Company. The employees received two months of severance plus one week
of additional  severance for each  completed  year of service.  These  severance
costs were paid in the first quarter of 2000 out of existing  cash  resources of
the Company. As of December 31, 1999, the remaining  restructuring  liability is
$2.5 million.

     Also in the fourth  quarter of 1999,  the Company  recorded $2.2 million of
other  activities.  These charges  related to contract  settlements to eliminate
product lines ($0.5 million), executive severance unrelated to the restructuring
($1.1 million),  settlement of certain purchase  commitments  ($0.5 million) and
other ($0.1 million).

Technical and System Development

     Technical and system  development  expenses  consist  primarily of expenses
incurred for the development and maintenance of the software required to support
Value America's online store,  including  employee  compensation and the cost of
designing,  developing  and  improving  store  content,  Internet  connectivity,
operations  and  reporting.  Due to the  rapid  rate of  changes  in  associated
technology  and  considering  that the majority of the website work performed by
Value  America  related to site content,  these  expenses  have  generally  been
expensed as incurred.

     Technical and system  development  expenses increased from $4.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 to $15.6 million,  net of $7.6 million of costs
capitalized  as website and Enterprise  Resource  Planning  ("ERP")  development
costs, for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase principally reflected
higher  payroll,  consulting  expenses  and  increased  depreciation  charges in
connection with the increase in computer hardware and software needed to support
the  Company's  operations.  Payroll  expenses  related to technical  and system
development  increased from $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to
$5.2  million  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1999.  Payments  to  outside
consultants to support general systems  maintenance totaled $1.7 million for the
year ended  December 31, 1998 and $4.0  million for the year ended  December 31,
1999.  Depreciation  charges  increased  from $0.4  million  for the year  ended
December 31, 1998 to $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 primarily
due to capital expenditures made and leases entered into during the year.

     During  the  second  and  third  quarters  of  1999,  the  Company  devoted
significant  resources  to  the  implementation  of  SAP,  Siebel  software  and
interfaces  with the  website.  Since  this ERP  system  will  provide  a strong
foundation  to  support  the  Company's   continued  growth,   the  Company  has
capitalized  $6.8 million  during the year ended December 31, 1999 in connection
with the purchase price of software, consultant fees, website development costs,
and certain employee payroll costs related to this project.

     Value America expects that it will continue to incur substantial  technical
and systems development  expenses.  However,  the Company anticipates that these
costs will  decrease as a percentage of revenues over the same period of time as
revenues increase.

Interest Income (Expense), Net

     Interest  expense of $13.3  million  for the year ended  December  31, 1999
consisted  primarily of the amortization of $18.1 million in debt issuance costs
related to a $34.0  million note payable that was converted to common stock upon
the IPO.  This  interest  expense  was offset by interest  income  earned on the
proceeds  from the debt and equity  issuances in the fourth  quarter of 1998 and
the first and second quarters of 1999. This amortization charge has no effect on
the Company's cash flows.

Income Taxes

     Value America provided $0 for income taxes for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, since it incurred net losses for those periods.

Net Loss Available for Common Stockholders

     Net loss  available  for  common  stockholders  is  comprised  of net loss,
accretion  and  dividends  on  redeemable  preferred  stock  and the  beneficial
conversion  feature  on the  Series  C  redeemable  preferred  stock.  Net  loss
available  for common  stockholders  for the years ended  December  31, 1999 and
1998,  was $175.5 million ($4.51 per share) and $64.8 million ($2.80 per share),
respectively.   Net  loss  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999  prior  to
consideration of accretion and the beneficial  conversion  feature on redeemable
preferred  stock was $143.5  million  or $3.69 per share.  Net loss for the year
ended December 31, 1998 prior to consideration of accretion and dividends on the
Series A and Series B redeemable  preferred stock was $53.6 million or $2.32 per
share. The accretion and dividends on the redeemable  preferred stock represents
the  recording  of  the  periodic  increases  in the  carrying  value  of  these
securities to increase  their value to the  redemption  value by the  redemption
date. The recording of accretion  does not affect the Company's cash flows.  The
beneficial  conversion  feature on preferred  stock  represents  the  difference
between  the fair  market  value of the  common  stock  underlying  the Series C
redeemable  preferred stock issued on January 12, 1999, and the conversion price
of the preferred stock. The recording of the beneficial  conversion feature does
not affect the Company's cash flows.  Because the preferred  stock was converted
to common stock,  there will not be any future  accretion or dividend charges in
connection with 1998 and 1999 issuances of preferred stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

Revenues

     For the year ended  December  31,  1998,  revenues  totaled  $42.3  million
compared to $134,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Revenues from product
sales were $41.0  million  for the year ended  December  31,  1998,  compared to
$48,000  for the year ended  December  31,  1997.  The  growth in product  sales
reflects the growth of Value America's customer base, increases in the volume of
merchandise sold and an overall increase in demand for Value America's  expanded
array of merchandise.

     Revenues  from  advertising  and other were $1.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, compared to $86,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
increase in product  presentation  listing  fees  reflects the increase in brand
offerings on Value America's online store.

     Charges to customers  for  shipping,  which  represent  approximately  $0.8
million  and $0 of  revenue  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998 and  1997,
respectively,  are  reported as revenue.  For the year ended  December 31, 1998,
product  returns,  including  returns  resulting from  malfunctioning  products,
erroneous shipments and other quality-related  issues, as a percentage of sales,
was approximately 4%.

Cost of Revenues

     Value America incurred $40.8 million of cost of revenues for the year ended
December  31,  1998.  For the year ended  December  31,  1997,  cost of revenues
totaled $0.5 million.  Cost of revenues  represent  96.4% and 362.7% of revenues
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Value  America  reported a gross  margin loss of $0.4  million for the year
ended  December  31,  1997 and gross  margin of $1.5  million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. This increase is due to product  presentation  costs incurred
in 1997 to establish initial product listings and presentations on the Company's
online  store.  Gross  margin on product  sales  increased  to $1.0 million from
$17,000  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998 and  1997,  respectively.  The
increase relates to improved pricing from the Company's suppliers.

Sales, Advertising and Marketing

     Sales,  advertising and marketing  expenses increased from $0.5 million for
the year ended  December 31, 1997 to $39.3  million for the year ended  December
31,  1998.  The  increase  primarily  reflects  an  increase  in the  number  of
merchandising,  advertising  and  promotion  department  employees and a general
increase in the level of Value America's promotional activities. Advertising and
promotional expenses increased from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1997 to $33.2 million for the year ended  December 31, 1998,  net of cooperative
advertising  of  approximately  $0 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $2.0
million for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  Payroll  expenses  relating to
merchandising, advertising and promotion departments increased from $0.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $3.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1998.  Charges for shipping of approximately $0.8 million have been included
in sales,  advertising  and marketing  expenses for the year ended  December 31,
1998.

General and Administrative

     General and  administrative  expenses  increased  from $0.5 million for the
year ended  December  31, 1997 to $7.0  million for the year ended  December 31,
1998.  This increase  reflects the hiring of additional  management and customer
service  personnel,  increased  facilities  charges and substantially  increased
activity levels to support the expansion of Value America's  operations,  all of
which were  undertaken in late 1997 and continued  into 1998.  Payroll  expenses
relating to general and administrative personnel increased from $0.2 million for
the year ended  December 31, 1997 to $2.4 million in the year ended December 31,
1998.  Bad debt expense  increased  from $49,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997 to $1.0 for the year ended December 31, 1998.  Value America  increased the
number of administrative support personnel during 1998.

Technical and System Development

     Technical and system  development  expenses increased from $0.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997 to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31,
1998. This increase principally reflects higher payroll and consulting expenses.
Payroll expenses related to technical and system development increased from $0.4
million for the year ended  December 31, 1997 to $1.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998.  Payments to outside consultants totaled $10,000 for the year
ended  December 31, 1997 and $1.7 million for the year ended  December 31, 1998.
Depreciation charges increased from $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997
to $0.4  million  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998 due to  increases  in
software and hardware purchased to support the expansion of operations.

Professional Fee

     In June 1998, Craig A. Winn, Value America's former Chairman and one of its
Founders, sold 288,321 shares of common stock for consideration below fair value
to an entity that  assisted in the  promotion of the private  placements  of the
Series A and Series B convertible  preferred stock. Value America recognized the
excess  of the  fair  value  of the  common  stock  sold by Mr.  Winn  over  the
consideration  received as a current period expense of $1.7 million.  See Note 7
of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Income (Expense), Net

     Interest  expense of $2.7  million  for the year ended  December  31,  1998
consisted  primarily  of  amortization  of $2.3 million in debt  issuance  costs
related to the $29.0  million  note  payable.  This  amortization  charge has no
effect on the Company's cash flows.  The $18,000 of interest income for the year
ended December 31, 1997 related  primarily to interest earned cash proceeds from
the sale of Series A convertible preferred stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In the year ended December 31, 1999, Value America issued:

     o    6,000,000  shares of Series C redeemable  preferred  stock and related
          warrants  to  purchase  2,311,567  shares  of  common  stock for $60.0
          million;
     o    $5.0 million of notes payable and related warrants to purchase 560,000
          shares of common stock;
     o    20,000 shares of common stock for $200,000; and
     o    5,500,000  shares  of  common  stock  at $23 per  share  resulting  in
          proceeds  of  $114.4  million,  net  of  underwriting   discounts  and
          expenses.

     In  connection  with the 1998 and 1999  issuances of notes  payable,  Value
America  allocated $31.1 million to warrants,  which  represents their estimated
fair value. The resulting debt issuance costs were amortized as interest expense
until conversion on April 13, 1999.

     Upon the closing of the Company's  Initial  Public  Offering  ("IPO"),  the
Series A, B and C redeemable  preferred  stock were  converted  into  10,737,162
shares of common stock and the $34.0  million of notes  payable  were  cancelled
with the exercise of warrants  resulting in the issuance of 3,400,000  shares of
common stock.

     Interest  expense  of  $18.1  million  was  recorded  in 1999  representing
amortization  of debt issuance  costs.  The charge to interest  expense does not
affect Value America's cash flows.

     In  connection  with the  January  1999  issuance of the Series C preferred
stock and warrants,  Value America  allocated  $11.4 million for the warrants to
stockholders'  equity and $48.6 million to the Series C preferred  stock,  based
upon  their  relative  fair  values.   Value  America   recorded   accretion  to
periodically  increase  the  carrying  value  of  the  preferred  stock  to  its
redemption  value of  $120.0  million  by the  redemption  date.  Value  America
recorded  accretion of $1.4 million in 1999 on the Series A, Series B and Series
C preferred stock. The recording of accretion does not affect the Company's cash
flows.

     Net cash used in operating  activities  was $0.3 million for the year ended
December  31, 1997,  $30.0  million for the year ended  December  31, 1998,  and
$109.9  million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Net cash used in operating
activities in the year ended December 31, 1999 was due primarily to the net loss
of $143.5  million and a $6.3  million  increase in  accounts  receivable,  both
associated  with the growth in  revenues  and  increased  cash  required to fund
operating  activities.  The net loss and  increase  in accounts  receivable  was
offset by a $8.4  million  increase  in  accrued  expenses.  Value  America  has
historically   financed  its   operating   activities   primarily   through  the
aforementioned capital contributions by stockholders and other parties.

     Value  America has an unsecured  $5.0 million line of credit from  Wachovia
Bank,  N.A.  This line bears  interest on advanced  funds at the prime rate less
0.5% and  expires  on June 1,  2000.  The terms of the  agreement  prohibit  the
Company  from  having a  significant  change  in  control,  ownership,  or legal
structure,  except for primary and secondary  offerings of equity  securities to
the public,  without Wachovia's consent.  In addition,  during the agreement the
Company is required to maintain  unencumbered  liquidity of $25  million.  As of
December 31, 1999,  the Company had not borrowed any amounts  under this line of
credit.  As of  March  2000,  the  Company  is in  default  of the  unencumbered
liquidity covenant,  and , therefore,  has no borrowing capacity available under
the line of credit.

     Value America has obtained  stand-by  letters of credit in favor of vendors
totaling $6.0 million at December 31, 1999.  Each letter of credit is secured by
a  certificate  of  deposit.  These  standby  letters of credit  expire  through
November  2000 and are  callable if Value  America  defaults in the  payments of
trade  payables  to the  secured  vendors.  During  January  2000,  the  Company
increased its cash deposit  balance to $9.3 million,  with  expirations  through
October 2000.

     Additionally,  At December 31, 1999, Value America has a two-year agreement
with a credit  card  processor  in which the credit card  processor  has a first
priority lien and security  interest in a $1.5 million cash deposit account,  to
cover potential charge backs. The agreement, which expires in April 2000, may be
terminated  by either  party and the credit card  processor  can  require  Value
America to  maintain  the cash  deposit  account  for up to 10 months  following
termination. During January 2000, the Company increased its cash deposit balance
with the credit card processor to $5.0 million.

     Value America  incurred  capital  expenditures of $16.2 million in the year
ended  December 31, 1999 compared to $2.3 million in the year ended December 31,
1998.  The increase in  expenditures  is primarily  for computer  equipment  and
furniture and fixtures  associated with employees hired during the period,  move
to new facilities and continued systems development and procurement.

     By implementation of the December 29, 1999,  planned  restructuring,  Value
America intends to reduce its near term rate of operating  expense growth during
the year 2000 through the:

     o    reduction  in the size of its  staff  and  facilities  needed to house
          them;
     o    redirection of its marketing and advertising efforts;
     o    higher  levels of technical  and systems  operations  and  development
          efforts;
     o    addition of improvement and  maintenance of its controls,  systems and
          procedures; and
     o    support of its growing infrastructure.

     As a result,  Value  America may  continue to  experience  substantial  but
reduced quarterly net losses for the foreseeable future.

     The Company has  committed  approximately  $7.3 million under capital lease
arrangements for the purchase of equipment and maintenance agreements.

     On September 2, 1999,  the Company formed Value America  Automotive  Group,
Inc. ("VAAG"), a Virginia  corporation.  On September 3, 1999, VAAG acquired all
of the outstanding stock of Dealer Financial  Services,  Inc. ("DFS") and Dealer
Development Services, Inc. ("DDS"). The acquisitions resulted in $1.4 million of
goodwill which is being amortized over a period of 10 years.

     At December  31,  1999,  Value  America had an  outstanding  commitment  to
purchase 34.4 acres of land on which the Company previously had plans to build a
headquarters   building.   During  1999,  the  abandoned   plans  to  build  the
headquarters   building  and  recorded  a  $0.4  million   charge   included  in
"restructuring  and  other  activities"  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  the  year
representing the negotiated termination.

     After an extensive  analysis,  the Company  restructured  its operations in
December,  1999  (see Note 2 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  This
restructuring enabled the Company to reduce the number of its suppliers in order
to focus on key vendors  whose  products  provided a majority  of the  Company's
revenues.  The  restructuring is expected to allow the Company to streamline its
operations,  improve fulfillment and customer service, reduce expenses and focus
on selling  products with higher gross  margins.  The Company also believes that
the investment that it has made in a new computer  infrastructure  will allow it
to support substantial growth in the future. The Company will continue to pursue
opportunities  to make its  operations  more efficient in the future in order to
minimize its losses from operations.

     As shown in the financial  statements  during the years ended  December 31,
1999,  1998 and 1997,  the  Company  incurred  losses of $143.5  million,  $53.6
million and $1.9 million,  respectively. The Company expects to incur additional
but  declining  losses  for at least the next two  years  which  will  result in
negative cash flows from  operations.  In April 1999,  the Company raised $114.4
million from an initial public  offering of its stock.  As of December 31, 1999,
the Company had $67.6 million of unrestricted  cash and short-term  investments.
The Company  does not expect  these  resources  will be  sufficient  to fund its
operations  through  fiscal 2000.  The Company's  ability to continue as a going
concern is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital.

     In December  1999,  the Board of  Directors  formed a Special  Committee to
explore  strategic  opportunities  for Value America.  The Special Committee has
retained Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, as its finance advisors, to review financial
opportunities  available to the Company.  These opportunities might include, but
are not limited to,  investments  in the  Company by new  investors,  additional
investments by current  investors and a follow on public offering of stock.  The
Company is actively pursuing each of these opportunities and both management and
the Board of Directors are confident that these opportunities will generate cash
resources  sufficient to fund  operations  in 2000.  There can be,  however,  no
assurance that such efforts will be successful.

ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     In addition  to the factors  discussed  in the  "Overview"  section of this
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations,"  the following  additional  factors may affect the Company's future
results.

     If the  Company  does not  improve its  operational  systems  and  customer
service  capabilities,  it could lose  customers and damage its  reputation.  To
support an increase in  purchase  volume,  the  Company  must  improve  delivery
tracking systems,  provide  additional  customer service and efficiently  handle
returns. Otherwise customers could cancel orders or to decide not to shop at the
Company's  store  in the  future.  If we fail  to  establish  and  use  reliable
electronic  data  interchange,  or  EDI,  connections  with  vendors,  we  could
experience  delays  in  product  fulfillment,   which  could  lead  to  customer
dissatisfaction and harm the Company's business.  The Company may not be able to
integrate onto its EDI platform all of its current and prospective  vendors.  To
date a significant  portion of Value America's  business depended upon telephone
ordering.  The Company has had periods during which its employees were unable to
meet targeted response or otherwise to respond satisfactorily to customers.

     If the  Company's  online store were to become  unavailable,  Value America
could lose  customers.  In addition,  network  interruptions  or other  computer
system shortcomings, such as inadequate capacity, could:

     o    prevent customers from accessing the online store;
     o    reduce the Company's ability to fulfill orders;
     o    reduce the attractiveness of the Company's product offerings;
     o    reduce the number of products sold;
     o    cause customer dissatisfaction; or
     o    seriously damage the Company's reputation.

     The Company has  experienced  brief computer  system  interruptions  in the
past, which may recur from time to time. If traffic through the Company's online
store  were to  increase  substantially,  the  Company  will need to expand  and
upgrade  its  technology.  Value  America  may be unable to  predict  accurately
changes in the volume of  customer  traffic  and  therefore  expand and  upgrade
systems and  infrastructure  in time to avoid system  interruptions.  All of the
Company's computer and communications equipment is in Charlottesville, Virginia.
This equipment is vulnerable to interruption or damage from fire,  flood,  power
loss,  telecommunications  failure and earthquake, and some system components do
not have  immediate  automatic  backup  equipment.  The  Company's  computer and
communications  systems are also  vulnerable  to computer  viruses,  physical or
electronic  break-ins and other  disruptions.  The Company's property damage and
business interruption insurance provide adequate coverage for any such loss that
the Company may suffer.

     The Company may be unable to offer a desirable  selection  of  merchandise,
attract  customers and process  sales if management  does not maintain and build
relationships with manufacturers,  vendors and other third parties.  The Company
is entirely dependent upon manufacturers and distributors to provide merchandise
for sale in its  online  store.  In the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  goods
manufactured  by  IBM  represented  approximately  27% of net  sales  and  goods
manufactured by Proteva represented approximately 21% of net sales. In addition,
vendors may decide,  for reasons  outside the  Company's  control,  not to offer
particular  products for sale on the Internet.  Value America  relies on product
vendors to fulfill a number of traditional retail functions, such as maintaining
inventory,  accepting product returns and preparing  merchandise for shipment to
individual customers.  The Company's vendors may not be willing to provide these
services at competitive rates to develop the communication  technology necessary
to support the  Company's  direct  shipment  infrastructure.  The Company has no
effective  means to  ensure  that its  vendors  perform  these  services  to its
satisfaction.

     The Company's vendors have no obligation to make any products available for
sale to Value America's customers and may terminate their relationships with the
Company at any time without  penalty.  Because Value America has not established
regular  purchasing  patterns  with most of its product  vendors,  a vendor with
limited  inventory may not give the Company priority in allocating its available
inventory or to offer our customers merchandise on the best terms. The Company's
operations  also depend heavily upon a number of other third parties,  including
Internet  service  providers and product delivery  services.  The Company cannot
control  the  actions of these  third  parties,  and it does not have  long-term
contractual  relationships with any of them. Value America also uses third-party
delivery  services to deliver all of its  products to  customers.  Increases  in
delivery costs or  inefficient  delivery as a result of strikes or other reasons
could seriously harm the Company's profitability.

      Customers  may be  unwilling to use the  Internet to purchase  goods.  The
Company's long-term future depends heavily upon the general public's willingness
to use the Internet as a means to purchase goods. The failure of the Internet to
develop into an effective  commercial tool would seriously  damage the Company's
operations.  In addition, delays in the development or adoption of new standards
and  protocols  or  increased  governmental  regulation  could stop or delay the
growth  of the  Internet  as a means  to  purchase  goods  and  services.  Other
considerations,  including security,  reliability,  accessibility and quality of
service,  may adversely affect the growth of the Internet.  These considerations
have not been, and may never be, resolved to the  satisfaction of many potential
Internet customers.

     The  Company  faces  intense  competition  from  many  participants  in the
electronic commerce industry. The Company expects competition in the industry to
increase.  Barriers to entry into the electronic  commerce market are relatively
low. Moreover,  all of the products that Value America sells in its online store
are available through traditional retail outlets.  Accordingly, the Company must
compete  with  both  companies  in the  electronic  commerce  market  and in the
traditional retail industry. A number of Internet companies offer search engines
and other  tools that  locate  multiple  vendors  of  particular  products.  The
pervasive use of these search  engines could result in severe price  competition
and could  reduce  the  Company's  revenues  and result in  increased  losses or
reduced profits.

     The security  risks of electronic  commerce may  discourage  customers from
purchasing goods from the Company.  In order for the electronic  commerce market
to develop  successfully,  Value America and other market  participants  must be
able to transmit confidential  information securely over public networks.  Third
parties  may have the  technology  or  know-how  to breach the  security  of the
Company's  customer  transaction  data. Any such breach could cause customers to
lose confidence in the security of the Company's  online store and choose not to
shop at the  Company's  online store.  The Company  expects that it will need to
dedicate  substantial  resources  to  prevent  or remedy  any  security  breach.
Concerns about the security and privacy of transactions  over the Internet could
inhibit  the growth of the  Internet  and  electronic  commerce.  The  Company's
security  measures may not effectively  prohibit others from obtaining  improper
access to the  information in its online store which could expose the Company to
risks of liability and seriously disrupt the Company's operations.

     The  administrative  burdens of collecting  additional  taxes may adversely
affect Value America's business. The Company does not currently collect sales or
use taxes for the sale of goods into states other than Virginia.  If the Company
establishes  operations  in other  states,  it may need to collect sales and use
taxes imposed by those states.  Other  governmental  authorities may require the
Company to collect  taxes for sales into the areas  they  control.  These  taxes
could discourage  customers from making  purchases  through the Company's online
store. If any additional governmental authorities require the Company to collect
and remit taxes, the administrative burdens could be cumbersome and expensive.

     The  Company  may be unable to protect its  proprietary  technology.  Value
America's  success  depends  to a  significant  degree  upon  protection  of its
software and other proprietary  intellectual property rights. The Company may be
unable  to  deter  misappropriation  of  its  proprietary  information,   detect
unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce its intellectual property
rights.  The  Company's  competitors  could,  without  violating  the  Company's
proprietary rights,  develop technologies that are as good as or better than the
Company's  technology.  The Company has  registered  various forms of the "Value
America"  service mark in the United States for limited uses and have applied to
register  another form of that service mark in the United States.  The Company's
application could be denied, and issued  registrations could be challenged.  The
legal  protection for these service marks that the Company is able to obtain may
not be  sufficient  for the  Company's  business  purposes.  For example,  other
companies could use the name "Value America" and similar names to identify their
products and services.  Any such use could  confuse the Company's  customers and
impair the  Company's  ability to build its brand  identity.  If the  Company is
unable to protect  the name  "Value  America"  or any of the other names that it
uses, its business could suffer serious harm. On March 24, 1999, a party filed a
lawsuit against the Company alleging  violations of federal trademark law, state
law and common law. The party seeks monetary damages,  an injunction barring use
of  the  "Value  America"  mark  and  cancellation  of the  Company's  trademark
registration   for  the  "Value   America"  mark.   Because  the  protection  of
intellectual  property  rights is often  critically  important to the success of
companies in the  industry,  the  Company's  competitors  or others could assert
additional claims that the Company's use of proprietary  rights or the Company's
technologies  infringe their  proprietary  rights.  The Company may not have the
resources to pursue any  litigation  to a final  judgment and may not prevail in
such  litigation.  In  defending  such  litigation,   the  Company  could  incur
significant legal and other expenses and its management could be distracted from
the  principal  business  operations.  If any party  making a claim  against the
Company were to prevail in  litigation  against Value  America,  the Company may
have to pay substantial  damages. The court could also grant injunctive or other
equitable  relief that could  prevent the Company from  offering  the  Company's
products and services without a license or other permission from others.

     Government  regulation  and legal  uncertainties  may adversely  affect the
Company's   business.   The  application  of  existing  laws  to  the  Internet,
particularly  with  respect to property  ownership,  the payment of sales or use
taxes,  libel, and personal privacy, is uncertain and may take years to resolve.
Growth and  development  of  electronic  commerce may also prompt calls for more
stringent consumer  protection laws. These laws may impose additional burdens on
companies conducting business over the Internet.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     Many  currently  installed  computer  systems and  software  products  were
programmed to assume that the century  portion of a date is "19" to conserve the
use of storage  and  memory.  This  assumption  results in the use of two digits
rather than four to define an applicable  year.  Accordingly,  computer  systems
that rely on two digits to define an applicable  year may recognize a date using
"00" as the year  1900,  rather  than the year  2000.  To date the  Company  has
experienced no  significant  adverse  effects  related to the Year 2000 computer
issue.  The Company  has no notable  problems  with  equipment  or our  internal
information  technology  systems which may have been affected by faulty embedded
chips or other  Year  2000  problems.  The  Company  is not  aware of Year  2000
problems with the Company's software. In addition, the Company has not been made
aware of,  nor has it  experienced,  Year  2000  problems  with any  third-party
software.  The Company has not incurred any material costs  directly  associated
with Year 2000 compliance  efforts,  except for  compensation  costs for certain
employees  who have  dedicated  time to the  Company's  assessment  of Year 2000
compliance  and  associated  remedies.  The  Company  does not  expect  to incur
additional material costs associated with Year 2000 compliance,  however, in the
event that the Company has not  identified  and corrected  Year 2000  compliance
issues, these unresolved issues could harm the Company's business.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),
Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging,  which is  effective  all
quarters of the Company's year ending December 31, 2001,  establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in contracts,  and for hedging activities.  SFAS 133 is not
expected  to have a material  impact on the  Company's  financial  position  and
results of operations when adopted.

     The SEC issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101") in December 1999.
SAB 101  provides  guidance  on the  recognition  and  disclosure  of revenue in
financial  statements.  Provided  the  registrant's  former  policy  was  not an
improper  application  of Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles  ("GAAP"),
registrants may adopt a change in accounting principle to comply with the SAB no
later than the second  quarter of the fiscal year  beginning  after December 31,
1999. The Company believes that its current revenue recognition  policies are in
accordance  with GAAP. The Company is still in the process of assessing  whether
any accounting  policies  would need to be changed to be in compliance  with SAB
101.

Item 7a.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its  investment  portfolio.
If market rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10% from the level
at December 31, 1999, the change to the Company's interest sensitive investments
would have an immaterial effect on the Company's financial position,  results of
operations and cash flows over the next fiscal year.

                               VALUE AMERICA, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Value  America,  Inc.  is an  Internet-based  retailer  that  sells a large
selection of high  quality,  brand name  products  and  services at  competitive
prices to both consumers and businesses.  Additionally,  Value America  develops
and maintains  custom  multi-media  presentations  for the products and services
featured on its online store.  Value America has two wholly owned  subsidiaries,
ServeAmerica.com, Inc. ("ServeAmerica") and Value America Automotive Group, Inc.
("VAAG").  On May  5,  1999,  Value  America  formed  ServeAmerica,  a  Delaware
corporation.  ServeAmerica  has not  conducted  any  operations  from  inception
through  December 31, 1999. On September 2, 1999,  Value America  formed VAAG, a
Virginia corporation. On September 3, 1999, VAAG purchased in a cash transaction
all of the outstanding  stock of Dealer  Financial  Services,  Inc.  ("DFS") and
Dealer Development  Services,  Inc. ("DDS").  The acquisitions  resulted in $1.4
million of goodwill which is being amortized over a period of ten years.

Principles of Consolidation

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Value
America, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries  (collectively,  "Value America"
or the "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Risks and Uncertainties

     Value  America is subject to all of the risks  inherent  in an early  stage
business in the technology and retail industries.  These risks include,  but are
not limited to: limited operating  history,  management of a changing  business,
reliance on merchandise  vendors,  reliance on other third parties,  competitive
nature of the industry,  dependence on the Internet and related  security risks,
development and maintenance of efficient information technologies to support the
business,  employee turnover,  operating cash requirements and uncertain ability
to protect proprietary intellectual properties.

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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Value  America  considers  all  highly-liquid  investments  purchased  with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

     Value America has letter of credit  agreements  with vendors  whereby Value
America  granted  security   interests  and  limited  powers  of  attorney  over
certificates of deposit  totaling $6.0 million at December 31, 1999. The letters
of credit are  callable  if Value  America  defaults  in the  payments  of trade
payables to the secured  vendors and expire  through  November 10, 2000.  During
January 2000,  Value America  increased its letter of credit  arrangements  with
vendors to $9.3 million, with expirations through October 1, 2000.

     In April 1998,  Value America entered into a two-year  agreement for credit
card clearing  services which required Value America to establish a $1.5 million
cash deposit account to cover potential chargebacks.  Although the agreement may
be terminated  without  penalty by either party,  the credit card  processor can
require  Value  America to maintain  the account for up to ten months  following
termination  of the  agreement.  Additionally,  the credit card  processor has a
first priority lien and security interest in the deposit account until the funds
are released to Value America.  This cash deposit is included in restricted cash
as of December 31, 1999.  During  January 2000,  the Company  increased its cash
deposit with the credit card processor to $5.0 million.

Investments

     Value America classifies its investments as available-for-sale  securities,
which  consist  primarily of  certificates  of deposit,  money market  auctions,
corporate and United States government bonds and equity securities. Statement of
Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  ("SFAS")  115,  Accounting  for  Certain
Investments  in  Debt  and  Equity  Securities,  requires  that  all  applicable
investments be classified as trading securities,  available-for-sale  securities
or  held-to-maturity  securities.  Value  America  did not have any  investments
classified  as trading  securities  or  held-to-maturity  securities  during the
periods presented.

     Value America  reports  available-for-sale  securities at fair value,  with
unrealized  gains and losses  excluded  from earnings and reported in a separate
component  of other  comprehensive  income  in  stockholders'  equity  until the
securities are sold. At the time of sale, any gains or losses  calculated by the
specific  identification  method will be  recognized as a component of operating
income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying value of Value America's financial instruments,  which include
cash  and cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  accrued
expenses,   notes  payable,  and  mandatorily  redeemable  preferred  stock,  is
considered to approximate  fair value due to the relatively  short maturities of
the respective instruments.

Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold

     Inventories  consist of  merchandise  returns,  owned  inventory on hand at
manufactures or distributors and goods in transit. Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost  (determined  on a  first-in,  first-out  basis) or market.  Value
America  periodically commits to purchase quantities of merchandise from vendors
prior to receiving customer orders. The inventory remains at the manufacturer or
distributor  that  provides  fulfillment  services for Value America until it is
sold to a third  party.  At December  31, 1999 and 1998,  Value  America was not
committed to any significant inventory purchases. During the year ended December
31, 1999, the Company recorded inventory reserves of approximately $0.4 million.
No reserve was  maintained on inventory  balances at December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Value America  wrote off $0.1 million and $0.4 million of inventory  during 1999
and 1998, respectively. No inventory was written off during 1997.

     In the years ended  December  31, 1999 and 1998,  Value  America  purchased
goods from one manufacturer  that accounted for approximately 27% and 58% of net
sales,  respectively.  The amount of net sales  related to  purchases  from this
manufacturer  is  minimal  for  the  comparable  period  in  1997.  This  supply
concentration makes the Company vulnerable to the risk of near term shortages in
product.  The Company believes that  alternative  suppliers of similar goods can
obtained in a relatively short time. Value America has no long-term contracts or
arrangements  with any of its  manufacturers  that guarantee the availability of
merchandise,  the continuation of particular  payment terms, or the extension of
credit.

Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures

     Equipment,  furniture  and  fixtures are  recorded at cost.  Value  America
computes  depreciation on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes
and uses accelerated  depreciation methods for tax purposes,  where appropriate.
Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the  respective  accounts,  and any gain or loss is included in
income. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

     The Company  capitalizes  certain internal use software costs in accordance
with the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants  Statement  of
Position  ("SOP")  No.  98-1,  Accounting  for the  Costs of  Computer  Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.  Development and implementation costs of
internal use software  projects,  including  website  development,  are expensed
until the point at which the Company determines that the software will result in
probable  future  economic  benefits and management has committed to funding the
project.  Thereafter,  external direct  implementation costs and payroll-related
costs are  capitalized  until the point of system  implementation,  after  which
costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful
life of the software, not exceeding five years.

Goodwill

     Goodwill  amounting to $1.3 million at December 31, 1999, net of $44,000 of
accumulated amortization, arose from the 1999 acquisitions of DFS and DDS and is
being amortized on a straight-line  basis over a period of 10 years. The Company
evaluates  expected  undiscounted  cash flows of the related  business  units to
determine the future  recoverability of any goodwill  recorded.  For purposes of
determining  these  evaluations,  undiscounted  cash flows are grouped at levels
which management uses to operate the business.  Recorded goodwill is reevaluated
on the same basis  whenever  any  significant  permanent  changes in business or
circumstances have occurred which might impair recovery.  There were no goodwill
impairments recorded in 1999.

Long-Lived Assets

     The Company records  impairment  losses on long-lived  assets in accordance
with SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indications of impairment are present and the undiscounted  cash
flows  estimated  to be  generated  by those  assets  are less than the  assets'
carrying  amount.  During 1999, the Company  recorded an impairment loss of $0.1
million on certain leasehold improvements.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

     Revenues  from product  sales are  recognized  upon  delivery to customers.
Value America is responsible  for  establishing  product  pricing,  advertising,
selling  the  merchandise,   providing  customer  service,  arranging  shipping,
insuring  goods  during  shipment,  collecting  payment from the  customer,  and
processing  returns.  Value  America  takes title to products  upon shipment and
bears the risk of loss for  collection,  delivery and  merchandise  returns from
customers.  Value America occasionally  purchases merchandise prior to receiving
customer  orders and records  such  merchandise  as inventory  until  shipped to
customers.  The Company records a returns reserve to reduce revenues and cost of
revenues for estimated product returns at the time of sale.

     Value  America has  contractual  agreements  with vendors under which Value
America  prepares and  maintains  multi-media  product  presentations  and lists
vendors'  merchandise in Value America's online store.  These agreements provide
for both the  development and the  Internet-access  of these  presentations  for
established  contractual periods.  Value America recognizes product presentation
and listing revenue ratably over the period of the related agreement,  beginning
upon  availability  of the  presentation in Value  America's  online store,  and
recognizes the costs of developing and maintaining presentations as incurred. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, Value America had total deferred revenue  associated
with product  presentations  of  approximately  $0.5  million and $2.4  million,
respectively,  which it will  recognize  over varying terms through 2000.  Value
America  discontinued  the  practice  of  charging  for  product   presentations
beginning January 1, 2000.

     Value America also had deferred revenue of  approximately  $8.0 million and
$0.8 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  associated with cash
received for product sales in advance of the delivery of the underlying product.
These  deferred  revenue  amounts  will be  recognized  as revenue  upon product
delivery.

     Value America recognizes  advertising  revenue over the period in which the
related  advertisement  is offered on the online  store or upon  delivery of the
electronic direct mail advertising.

     Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts billed for products shipped
to business customers,  receivables from vendors for returned products,  product
discounts from vendors, and cooperative advertising. Business customers that are
extended credit are billed upon product  shipment.  Receivables from vendors for
returned products are used as credits against future product purchases.  Product
discounts are billed upon shipment and  cooperative  advertising  is billed upon
airing  of  the  respective  advertisement.   The  December  31,  1998  accounts
receivable   balance   included   amounts   billed   for   multi-media   product
presentations.  Value America recorded approximately $1.9 million, $1.0 million,
and $49,000 in bad debt expense during the years ended  December 31, 1999,  1998
and 1997,  respectively.  A total of $1.5  million of accounts  receivable  were
written off during the year ended December 31, 1999. There were no write-offs of
accounts receivable in 1998 and 1997.

Comprehensive Income

     In 1998, Value America adopted SFAS 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,
which  establishes  standards  for the  reporting  and display of  comprehensive
income  and its  components.  The  adoption  of SFAS 130 had no  impact on Value
America's net loss or stockholders'  equity in the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997 as the  comprehensive  loss was the  same as Value  America's  net loss
during those  periods.  During the year ended  December  31,  1999,  the Company
recorded $0.8 million of  comprehensive  income as the result of unrealized  net
holding gains on securities available-for-sale.

Advertising

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Cash received from cooperative
advertising  agreements  is  recorded  as a reduction  of  advertising  expense.
Advertising  expense for the years ended  December 31,  1999,  1998 and 1997 was
approximately  $69.6  million,  $33.2 million and $194,000,  net of  cooperative
advertising of approximately  $8.2 million,  $2.0 million and $0,  respectively.
Value America Dollars

     On  certain  purchases,  Value  America  offers  customers  "Value  America
Dollars",  which can be used against future  purchases of merchandise from Value
America's  online  store.  Value  America  records a liability for Value America
Dollars at the time of the sale on which the Value  America  Dollars  are earned
and  reverses  that  liability  at the time a  customer  uses the Value  America
Dollars  on  a  subsequent   purchase.   Value  America  Dollars  offered  under
promotional  programs  directed at  attracting  new  customers  or as bonuses to
encourage sales of a particular  product are recorded as sales,  advertising and
marketing  expense.  Value  America  Dollars  offered for customer  relationship
purposes  are  recorded in revenues as a reduction  of the related  sale.  Value
America  Dollars  earned on a current sale for use on a future sale are recorded
as a cost of the current sale.  During the year ended  December 31, 1999,  Value
America  Dollars in the amount of $10.3 million,  $0.9 million and $2.2 million,
respectively,  were recorded as sales,  advertising and marketing,  reduction of
revenue  and cost of sales.  During  the year ended  December  31,  1998,  Value
America  Dollars in the amount of $0.2 million  were  recorded as a reduction of
revenue. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Value America had recorded approximately
$3.2  million and $0.2  million,  respectively,  in accrued  expenses  for Value
America Dollars.

Earnings Per Share

     SFAS 128,  Earnings Per Share,  establishes  standards  for  computing  and
presenting  earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted
earnings per share is computed  using the weighted  average number of common and
potential common shares outstanding during the period,  except if anti-dilutive.
Potential  common  shares used in the  diluted  earnings  per share  calculation
consist of (i) the  incremental  common shares  issuable upon  conversion of the
mandatorily  redeemable preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and (ii)
shares  issuable  upon the  exercise of stock  options and  warrants  (using the
treasury stock method).

Stock-Based Compensation

     SFAS 123,  Accounting for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  defines a fair value
based  method of  accounting  for  employee  stock  options  or  similar  equity
instruments.  This statement allows companies to recognize  compensation expense
associated with stock-based awards either by the fair value method prescribed by
SFAS 123 or the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25. Value America uses the method  prescribed by APB Opinion
No. 25 for employee stock options and makes supplemental disclosures (Note 6) to
show the  effects  of using the fair  value-based  measurement  criteria.  Value
America accounts for options granted to non-employees as prescribed by SFAS 123.

Income Taxes

     SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred
tax liabilities  and assets for the expected  future tax  consequences of events
that have been included in the financial  statements or tax returns.  Under this
method,  deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years arising from  differences  between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their  financial  reporting  amounts at each period end based on enacted tax
laws and statutory tax rates  applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable  income.  Valuation  allowances are  established,
when  necessary,  to reduce  deferred  tax assets to the amount  expected  to be
realized.  The  provision  for income taxes  represents  the tax payable for the
period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Stock Split

     On  July  1,  1998,   Value  America's   Board  of  Directors   approved  a
three-for-one  split of Value America's common stock,  which was effective as of
September  1,  1998.   All  references  to  the  number  of  shares  issued  and
outstanding,  the  conversion  factors  for the  preferred  stock  and per share
information  for all periods  presented  have been adjusted to reflect the stock
split.

Segment Disclosures

     SFAS  121,   Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information,  sets forth  requirements for the way companies report  information
about segments of their business. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about
the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it
holds  assets  and  reports  revenues,  and its  major  customers.  The  Company
currently operates in one industry and geographic segment.

Reclassifications

     Certain  reclassifications  were  made  to  the  1997  and  1998  financial
statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     SFAS 133,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging,  which is
effective  for all  quarters of the  Company's  year ending  December  31, 2001,
establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in contracts,  and for hedging
activities.  SFAS No.  133 is not  expected  to have a  material  impact  on the
Company's financial position and results of operations when adopted.

     The SEC issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101") in December 1999.
SAB 101  provides  guidance  on the  recognition  and  disclosure  of revenue in
financial  statements.  Provided  the  registrant's  former  policy  was  not an
improper  application  of Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles  ("GAAP"),
registrants may adopt a change in accounting principle to comply with the SAB no
later than the second  quarter of the fiscal year  beginning  after December 31,
1999. The Company has assessed that its current revenue recognition policies are
in  accordance  with  GAAP.  The  Company is still in the  process of  assessing
whether any  accounting  policies  would need to be changed to be in  compliance
with SAB 101.

2.   BUSINESS CONDITIONS AND FUNDING ACTIVITIES

     After an extensive  analysis,  the Company  restructured  its operations in
December,  1999. This restructuring  enabled the Company to reduce the number of
its  suppliers  in order  to focus on key  vendors  whose  products  provided  a
majority of the Company's  revenues.  The restructuring is expected to allow the
Company to streamline its operations,  improve fulfillment and customer service,
reduce  expenses and focus on selling  products with higher gross  margins.  The
Company  also   believes  the   investment   it  has  made  in  a  new  computer
infrastructure  will allow it to support  substantial  growth in the future. The
Company  will  continue  to pursue  opportunities  to make its  operations  more
efficient in the future in order to minimize its losses from operations.

     As shown in the financial  statements  during the years ended  December 31,
1999,  1998 and 1997,  the  Company  incurred  losses of $143.5  million,  $53.6
million and $1.9 million,  respectively. The Company expects to incur additional
but  declining  losses  for at least the next two  years  which  will  result in
negative cash flows from  operations.  In April 1999,  the Company raised $114.4
million from an initial public  offering of its stock.  As of December 31, 1999,
the Company had $67.6 million of unrestricted  cash and short-term  investments.
The Company  does not expect  these  resources  will be  sufficient  to fund its
operations  through  fiscal 2000.  The Company's  ability to continue as a going
concern is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital.

     In December  1999,  the Board of  Directors  formed a Special  Committee to
explore  strategic  opportunities  for Value America.  The Special Committee has
retained Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, as its finance advisors, to review financial
opportunities  available to the Company.  These opportunities might include, but
are not limited to,  investments  in the  Company by new  investors,  additional
investments by current  investors and a follow on public offering of stock.  The
Company is actively pursuing each of these opportunities and both management and
the Board of Directors are confident that these opportunities will generate cash
resources  sufficient to fund  operations  in 2000.  There can be,  however,  no
assurance that such efforts will be successful.

     Computer  equipment with a capitalized cost of  approximately  $8.9 million
and $0.3 million, and accumulated depreciation of approximately $2.0 million and
$15,000,  at December 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  was held under  capital
lease  agreements.   During  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999  the  Company
capitalized software and development costs of approximately $7.6 million.

5.   NOTES PAYABLE AND LINE OF CREDIT

     At December  31,  1999 and 1998,  Value  America  had a note  payable to an
employee  in the  amount of $50,000  included  in other  liabilities.  This note
accrued interest at 5% annually with interest and principal payable on September
15, 2007. During February 2000, the Company repaid the principal and interest on
the note payable.

     In April 1998, Value America entered into a line of credit agreement, which
provided  for  borrowings  of up to $5.0  million,  and expired on May 31, 1999.
Borrowings under this line of credit were fully secured by liquid securities and
accrued  interest  at a  rate  of  LIBOR  plus  1.75%.  There  were  no  amounts
outstanding under this line of credit at December 31, 1998.

     During July 1999,  Value America  entered into an unsecured line of credit,
which  provides  for  borrowings  up to $5.0  million  and expires in June 2000.
Borrowings  under  this line of credit  accrue  interest  at the prime rate less
0.5%. The terms of the agreement  prohibit the Company from having a significant
change in  control,  ownership,  or legal  structure,  except  for  primary  and
secondary  offerings  of equity  securities  to the  public,  without the bank's
consent.  In addition,  during the agreement the Company is required to maintain
unencumbered  liquidity of $25 million. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had
not  borrowed  any  amounts  under this line of credit.  As of March  2000,  the
Company is in default of the unencumbered  liquidity covenant,  and , therefore,
has no borrowing capacity available under the line of credit.

     Value America entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement  ("Agreement") with
a preferred  stockholder and additional  participants in October 1998, which was
amended in November and December 1998 and January 1999. In connection  with each
amendment,   warrants  were  issued  to  the  preferred   stockholder   and  the
participants.  Amounts  outstanding  under the Agreement  totaled  approximately
$29.0 million at December 31, 1998.  In January  1999,  in  accordance  with the
Agreement,  Value America borrowed an additional $5.0 million.  Borrowings under
the  Agreement  accrue  interest at 11% annually  with  interest  and  principal
payable at the earlier of the initial public  offering or August 17, 1999.  Upon
the  closing  of the  Company's  initial  public  offering,  the  $34.0  million
principal amount outstanding under the Agreement was repaid through the exercise
of common stock warrants in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

     In  connection  with the  Agreement,  Value America  issued  408,000 Type A
warrants,  3,400,000 Type B warrants and 325,000 Type C warrants.  Value America
allocated  the $4.5 million and $26.6  million fair value of the Type A, B and C
common  stock  warrants  during  the years  ended  December  31,  1999 and 1998,
respectively,  to stockholders' equity based upon the fair value of the warrants
as  determined by an  independent  valuation,  and amortized the resulting  debt
issuance  costs as interest  expense using the effective  interest  method until
conversion.  Additionally,  Value America recorded approximately $1.7 million in
debt  issuance  costs  paid in cash.  Upon  repayment  of the debt  through  the
exercise of the Type B warrants for common stock, the $12.6 million  unamortized
portion of the debt  issuance  costs  attributable  to the Type B  warrants  was
recorded to the equity accounts and the $3.7 million  unamortized portion of the
debt issuance costs  attributable to the Type A and Type C warrants was recorded
as interest  expense.  This  amortization  did not affect Value  America's  cash
flows.  At  December  31, 1999 and 1998,  Value  America  had  unamortized  debt
issuance costs of $0 and approximately $26.1 million,  respectively,  associated
with the  Agreement,  inclusive of  approximately  $1.5 million in debt issuance
costs paid in cash during  1998.  During the years ended  December  31, 1999 and
1998, Value America recorded interest expense of approximately $18.1 million and
$2.3 million, respectively, related to amortization of debt issuance costs.

     Value  America  had an  agreement  with  the  lender  to pay a one  percent
commitment fee on the borrowing  capacity under the Agreement.  Commitment  fees
are immediately payable upon increases in the borrowing capacity.  Value America
paid $50,000 and  $290,000 in  commitment  fees in the years ended  December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Additionally,  Value  America had an agreement  with a  stockholder  to pay
finders'  fees in connection  with the  aforementioned  Agreement.  In the years
ended December 31, 1998,  fees were paid to this  stockholder  of  approximately
$0.3 million.

6.   MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

     In December  1997,  Value  America sold  5,000,000  shares of 5% Cumulative
Convertible  Series A preferred  stock  ("Series  A") for $10.0  million.  Value
America recorded proceeds from this sale, net of related issuance costs, of $9.3
million. Series A stockholders were entitled to the number of votes equal to the
largest  number of  common  shares  into  which the  preferred  shares  could be
converted on the record date for the  determination of stockholders  eligible to
vote on a particular  matter.  With the  completion  of the  Company's  IPO, the
Series A preferred shares automatically  converted into 2,883,225 common shares,
with certain registration rights.

     Dividends of $0.4  million,  which  accrued daily and were due quarterly on
April 1, July 1,  October 1 and  January  1, were paid  during  1999 to Series A
stockholders.  The carrying amount of these securities was periodically adjusted
to increase the carrying value to the redemption value of $20.0 million at April
13, 1999.  Accretion  for the years ended  December 31, 1999,  1998 and 1997 was
approximately $1.7 million, $5.3 million and $189,000,  respectively,  inclusive
of cumulative, unpaid dividends at 9%.

     In  June  1998,   Value  America  sold  617,979  shares  of  5%  Cumulative
Convertible  Series B preferred  stock  ("Series  B") for $18.8  million.  Value
America  recorded  proceeds from this sale, net of related  offering  costs,  of
$17.5 million.  Series B stockholders were entitled to the number of votes equal
to the largest  number of common  shares into which the shares can be converted.
With  the  completion  of the  Company's  IPO,  the  Series B  preferred  shares
automatically  converted to 1,853,937 common shares,  with certain  registration
rights.

     Dividends of $0.8  million,  which  accrued daily and were due quarterly on
April 1, July 1,  October 1 and January 1, were paid during 1999 to the Series B
stockholders.  The carrying amount of these securities was periodically adjusted
to increase the carrying value to the redemption value of $37.7 million at April
13,  1999.  Accretion  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1999  and  1998 was
approximately  $4.0  million  and  $5.9  million,  respectively,   inclusive  of
cumulative unpaid dividends at 9%.

     Certain of the Series B investors  also acquired  617,979  shares of common
stock from the two founders of Value America for $6.3 million.

     On January 12, 1999,  Value America sold 6,000,000  shares of 5% Cumulative
Convertible  Series C  preferred  stock  ("Series  C") and  warrants  for  $60.0
million.  Value America sold 5,000,000 of the Series C shares to a related party
and  1,000,000 of the Series C shares to third party  investors.  Value  America
issued  1,800,000  Type D common  stock  warrants,  473,724  Type E common stock
warrants and 37,843 Type F common stock warrants in connection with the Series C
stock.  Series C stockholders  were entitled to the number of votes equal to the
largest number of common shares into which the shares can be converted. With the
completion of the  Company's  IPO, the Series C preferred  shares  automatically
converted to 6,000,000 common shares, with certain registration rights.

     Dividends of $0.7  million,  which  accrued daily and were due quarterly on
April 1, July 1,  October 1 and January 1, were paid during 1999 to the Series C
stockholders.  The carrying amount of these securities was periodically adjusted
to increase the carrying value to the redemption value of $37.7 million at April
13, 1999.  Accretion for the year ended December 31, 1999 was approximately $6.5
million inclusive of cumulative unpaid dividends at 9%.

     Value America  allocated  $11.4 million for the Type D, E and F warrants to
stockholders'  equity and $48.6 million to the Series C preferred  stock,  based
upon their relative fair values.  Value America  recorded the Series C preferred
stock's  beneficial  conversion  feature  of $19.8  million at  issuance,  which
represents  the  difference  between the Series C conversion  price and the fair
market value of the common stock times the 6,000,000 shares issued.

     Value America paid finders'  fees of $0.5 million,  $1.1 million,  and $1.0
million,  respectively, for the placement of the Series A, Series B and Series C
preferred  stock.  These  amounts are  recorded  as a  reduction  of the related
proceeds.

7.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Common Stock

     During  1996,  Value  America  was  capitalized  with  the  issuance  of an
aggregate  of  22,500,000  shares of common  stock,  without  par value,  to two
founders for  $150,000.  A common  stockholder  is entitled to one vote for each
common share held.

     In October and November 1997, Value America sold 427,500 and 150,000 shares
of  common  stock at a price of $1.50 and $1.67  per  share,  respectively,  and
213,750  warrants at a price of $0.33 per warrant.  The warrants  expire October
31, 2002 and allow the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $1.67.

     In June 1998, Value America's principal  stockholder sold 288,321 shares of
common  stock to an  entity  which  assisted  in the  promotion  of the  private
placements  of Series A and Series B preferred  stock.  The shares were sold for
$1.0 million in cash and $1.0 million in notes payable to the  stockholder,  due
June 30, 2003.  The note is no longer payable since the fair market value of the
shares, as defined,  did not exceed $6.0 million on the determination  date. The
excess of the fair value of the stock sold by the principal stockholder over the
consideration  received was recognized as a period expense (with a corresponding
increase in common stock) in the amount of approximately $1.7 million.  The fair
value of the note was determined by an independent valuation to be $226,000.

     In December  1998,  Value  America sold 625,200  shares of common stock and
118,320  warrants for $6.3 million.  Of the total  issuances,  175,620 shares of
common  stock and 52,686  warrants  were  issued to related  parties and 449,580
shares of common stock and 65,634  warrants  were issued to third  parties.  The
warrants  allow the holder to purchase  one share of common stock for $10.00 and
are  exercisable  after the vesting  date,  which is the earlier of December 18,
1999 or a qualifying public offering, until December 18, 2008.

     In January  1999,  Value  America sold 20,000 shares of common stock at $10
per share to third parties.

     On April 13,  1999 the  Company  closed its IPO with the sale of  5,500,000
shares of common stock at an initial public  offering  price of $23 share.  Upon
the closing of the initial public  offering,  all of the  outstanding  shares of
Value America's  convertible preferred stock converted into 10,737,162 shares of
common stock, and $34.0 million  principal amount of notes payable was cancelled
through the  exercise of Type B warrants  resulting in the issuance of 3,400,000
shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after
deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses were $114.4 million.

Preferred Stock

     At December 31, 1999,  25,000,000  shares of preferred  stock,  without par
value, were authorized and 0 shares were issued and outstanding. At December 31,
1998,  5,617,979 shares of preferred stock,  without par value, were authorized,
issued and outstanding.

Incentive Plans

     In connection with Value America's 1997 and 1999 Incentive Plans ("Plans"),
Value America's board of directors has reserved 8,600,000 shares of common stock
to grant  nonqualified  and  incentive  stock  options to  employees,  officers,
directors and certain  non-employees.  The exercise price of each option granted
under the Plans is determined by the  compensation  committee of Value America's
board of  directors  and is  generally  equal to the fair market  value of Value
America's  common  stock on the date of grant.  The Plans also  provide  for the
issuance  of stock  appreciation  rights,  restricted  stock and  stock  awarded
pursuant to performance incentive plans.

     The terms of option  grants and  issuances  of stock  appreciation  rights,
restricted  stock and stock awarded  pursuant to  performance  incentive  plans,
including  vesting and terms of exercise,  are  determined  by the  compensation
committee. Options granted through December 31, 1999 generally vest over periods
up to five years and expire upon the earlier of ten years from the date of grant
or upon  termination of employment.  Through  December 31, 1999, the Company had
granted no stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or stock awarded pursuant
to performance incentive plans. During January 2000, the Company granted 441,420
shares  of  restricted  stock as part of its  retention  plans for  certain  key
employees.

     Certain  options were issued  through  December 31, 1999 which  provide for
cash bonuses upon exercise.  Value America  recorded  approximately  $1,082,000,
$267,000 and  $273,000 in  compensation  for the years ended  December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997,  respectively,  related  to these  bonus  provisions.  Additional
expense to be recognized  related to these bonus provisions is as follows:  2000
- --  $632,000;  2001 --  $348,000;  2002 --  $202,000;  2003 -- $97,000;  2004 --
$13,000.

     Additionally,  Value America issued options through  December 31, 1999 with
exercise prices less than the fair market value at the date of grant,  resulting
in  compensation  expense of  approximately  $422,000 and $832,000 for the years
ended  December  31,  1999 and  1998,  respectively.  Additional  expense  to be
recognized  related to these  options is as follows:  2000 -- $366,000;  2001 --
$247,000; 2002 -- $126,000; 2003 -- $24,000.

available for common  stockholders  for the years ended December 31, 1999,  1998
and 1997, was $175.5 million ($4.51 per share),  $64.8 million ($2.80 per share)
and  $2.0  million   ($0.09  per  share),   respectively.   Net  loss  prior  to
consideration of accretion,  dividends and the beneficial  conversion feature on
preferred stock was $143.5 million ($3.69 per share) for the year ended December
31, 1999,  $53.6 million or $2.32 per share for the year ended December 31, 1998
and $1.9 million or $0.08 per share for the year ended  December  31, 1997.  The
accretion and dividends on redeemable  preferred stock  represents the recording
of the periodic  increases in the carrying value of these securities to increase
their value to the  redemption  value by the  redemption  date. The recording of
accretion  does not affect the Company's cash flows.  The beneficial  conversion
feature on preferred  stock  represents the  difference  between the fair market
value of the common stock  underlying  the Series C redeemable  preferred  stock
issued on January 12, 1999, and the conversion price of the preferred stock. The
recording of the  beneficial  conversion  feature does not affect the  Company's
cash flows.

8.   INCOME TAXES

     From  Inception  (March 13, 1996) through  October 31, 1997,  Value America
provided no provision for income taxes since it had elected, with the consent of
its original  stockholders,  to be an S Corporation  under the Internal  Revenue
Code. In lieu of corporate  income taxes,  the  stockholders of an S corporation
are  taxed on their  proportionate  share of  Value  America's  taxable  income.
Accordingly,  no  provision  for  income  taxes was  recorded  for this  period.
Effective  November 1, 1997, Value America  terminated its S Corporation  status
and recorded gross deferred tax assets of $479,000.

     Value  America has not recorded a provision or benefit for income taxes for
the period  November 1, 1997  through  December 31, 1997 and for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999. The net increase in the valuation allowance of $54.6
million in 1999 relates  primarily to income tax net operating  losses generated
from the current year operating loss and the current  exercise of stock options,
which will result in future tax deductions.  The related benefit of $0.7 million
is recorded to stockholders'  equity when it is realized.  Value America has net
operating loss  carryforwards  of  approximately  $186.0 million at December 31,
1999. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in years 2012 through 2019. If
certain  substantial  changes in Value America's  ownership should occur,  there
would be an annual  limitation  on the amount of the  carryforwards  that can be
utilized.  To the  extent  that  the  net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  when
realized,  relate to stock option  deductions,  the  resulting  benefits will be
credited to stockholders' equity.

     The components of deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:

</TABLE>

     Deferred tax assets are offset by a full valuation allowance as the lack of
earnings  history  gives  rise to  uncertainty  as to  whether  the  assets  are
realizable.  As a result of Value America's  history of operating losses and the
uncertainty surrounding Value America's ability to recognize income tax benefits
associated with such losses,  no pro forma tax provision  calculation or related
earnings per share effects have been included in these  financial  statements as
they relate to Value America's previous status as an S Corporation.

effective rate of income tax expense follows:

9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     In June 1998, Value America adopted a 401(k) defined  contribution  savings
plan. The plan covers all full-time  employees who are at least 18 years of age.
Participants  may  contribute  up to 15% of  pre-tax  compensation,  subject  to
certain limitations.  Value America may make discretionary annual profit sharing
contributions  as  well  as  discretionary   employer  matching   contributions.
Employees   vest  in  employer   matching   contributions   and  profit  sharing
contributions  over three years of eligible  service.  Value America has made no
profit sharing or matching contributions, through December 31, 1999.

10.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     At December  31, 1999 and 1998,  Value  America had notes  receivable  from
officers in the amount of $0.5 million and $0.3 million. The notes bear interest
at 6%-6.75%  annually  with  interest and  principal  due from June 2000 to June
2001.  During 1999,  Value America  forgave a note payable to an officer of $0.3
million  including  the related  accrued  interest as the result of a settlement
agreement.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, Value America recorded expenses of
approximately  $0.8  million  for  use  of an  aircraft  owned  by  two  of  its
stockholders.  There exist certain  disputes  between the stockholders and Value
America  as to the  amount  owed  to the  stockholders,  the  outcome  of  which
management  does not  believe  will have a  material  impact on Value  America's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     Value America paid finders' fees to a  stockholder  of  approximately  $1.0
million,  $1.4  million,  and $0.5  million,  respectively,  in the years  ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and 1997, in  connection  with the placement of the
Series A, Series B and Series C  redeemable  preferred  stock and the  Revolving
Credit Agreement. Fees paid to the stockholder in conjunction with the placement
of the Series A, Series B, and Series C redeemable  preferred stock are recorded
as a  reduction  of the  related  proceeds.  Fees  paid  to the  stockholder  in
conjunction  with the Revolving  Credit  Agreement are recorded as debt issuance
costs and were amortized as interest expense over the period from issuance until
conversion.

     During 1998,  Value America had notes payable to three  shareholders in the
amount of $0.7 million. Value America repaid all of the $0.7 million outstanding
balances of these notes  payable and  interest  accrued at 10% prior to December
31, 1998.

     For the year ended  December 31, 1997, 13% of net sales,  or  approximately
$6,000,  were to a stockholder.  Sales to stockholders and other related parties
were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

     At December 31, 1996, Value America had a non-interest bearing loan of $0.2
million from a stockholder. This note was repaid during 1997.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Value America is subject to various legal claims in the ordinary  course of
business.  In the  opinion  of  management,  none of these  claims  will  have a
material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of Value America.

     Value  America   occasionally  commits  to  purchase  specified  levels  of
inventory from vendors for resale under future  product offers to customers.  At
December 31, 1999, Value America was not committed to any significant  inventory
purchases.

     Value   America   leases   certain   equipment   and  office   space  under
non-cancelable operating leases. Lease terms range from one to two years and may
include renewal options for additional  periods.  Management expects that in the
normal  course of business,  leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.
At December 31,  1999,  Value  America is  committed  for the payment of minimum
rentals under operating lease  agreements of  approximately  $1.2 million,  $0.7
million and $0.2 million for the years ending  December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
respectively.  Rent  expense was  approximately  $1.0 million , $0.3 million and
$45,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     At December 31, 1999,  1998 and 1997,  Value  America was  obligated  under
various  capital  leases for  equipment,  which were  capitalized at the present
value of future minimum lease payments. Interest in connection with these leases
was approximately $0.5 million,  $6,000, and $5,000 for the years ended December
31, 1999,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Remaining lease payments under capital
leases will  approximate  $4.6  million,  $2.2  million and $1.3 million for the
years ending December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

     At December  31,  1999,  Value  America had an  outstanding  commitment  to
purchase 34.4 acres of land on which the Company previously had plans to build a
headquarters  building.  During 1999, the Company  abandoned  plans to build the
headquarters  building and recorded a $0.4 million  charge in the fourth quarter
upon completing a settlement agreement with the seller.

     On March 24, 1999,  the Company was served with a complaint  that was filed
in the United  States  District  Court for the  Northern  District  of  Georgia,
Atlanta Division, by Coupons, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Coupons").  On April
9,1999,  Coupons served an amended complaint,  joining Stephen S. Freedman as an
additional  plaintiff and alleging  several causes of action,  including  unfair
competition,  fraudulent  registration  of service  marks,  common law trademark
infringement, unfair competition,  deceptive trade practices, false advertising,
fraud,  fraudulent  misrepresentations,  and  rescission of contract and, in the
alternative, breach of contract. The complaint seeks rescission of a December 3,
1997 agreement between Stephen S. Freedman,  injunctive relief barring most uses
by the Company of the "VALUE AMERICA" mark,  treble damages and an accounting of
profits  under the Trademark  Act of 1946,  as amended,  punitive  damages of at
least $1.0 million and  cancellation of the Company's  "VALUE  AMERICA"  service
mark  registrations.  The  Company  believes  that the  claims  asserted  in the
foregoing action are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.

     The Company and four former  officers  have been named as  defendants  in a
securities  fraud  action  filed in the  United  States  District  Court for the
Western  District of Virginia,  Charlottesville  Division on January 10, 2000 by
Marvin E.  Sikes,  as  representative  of a  putative  class of  plaintiffs  who
purchased or otherwise  acquired  shares of the  Company's  common stock between
April 7, 1999 through  December 28, 1999 (the "Class  Period").  On February 11,
2000, three similar actions were filed against the Company. These actions allege
that the Company's public statements contained  misrepresentations  or omissions
of material adverse information regarding the Company's financial condition that
allegedly  caused  the  market  price  of  the  Company's  common  stock  to  be
artificially  inflated  during the Class Period.  Counsel to the Company filed a
motion to  consolidate  all actions  against the Company on February  17,  2000.
Based on the preliminary review of the complaint, Value America believes that it
has valid defenses to each of the claims asserted by the plaintiffs.

     The Company received a Pre-Filing Notice to Prospective Defendant, dated as
of October 22, 1999, from the Consumer  Protection Unit of the District Attorney
for Marin County,  California in connection with an  investigation  into alleged
advertising  and sale of  computer  components  designed  for use by an original
equipment manufacturer as retail computer components in California. Based on its
preliminary  review  of the  Notice,  the  Company  believes  that it has  valid
defenses to the claims presented.

     The Federal  Trade  Commission  ("FTC") has  instituted an inquiry into the
advertisement of free or reduced-cost  personal computer systems,  the discounts
on which are contingent upon the customers'  subscription to an Internet service
provider's  services for a fixed period of time.  Specifically,  the FTC asserts
that the  disclosure of this  contingency  was not  sufficiently  clear from the
contents and layout of the  Company's  advertisements.  The Company has produced
documents  to FTC  pursuant to its  requests,  and awaits  further  requests for
information and/or other correspondence therefrom. The Company believes that the
claims asserted in the foregoing  action are without merit and intends to defend
the action vigorously.

     The  Company  believes  that  the  foregoing   lawsuits  will  not  have  a
materialadverse  effect upon its  business,  financial  condition  or results of
operations.

12.  RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

     In the  fourth  quarter of 1999,  the Board of  Directors  appointed  a new
executive  management  team to the Company.  This executive  management  team is
comprised of Wolfgang Schmitt,  Chairman of the Board, Glenda M. Dorchak,  Chief
Executive Officer and John Steele,  Chief Operating  Officer.  In December 1999,
the new executive management team decided to refocus the Company's operations on
its core  lines of  business.  On  December  28,  1999,  the Board of  Directors
approved a plan,  prepared by the new executive  management team, to restructure
Value America's  operations.  As a result,  significant brands and product lines
previously sold by the Company would be discontinued. Instead, the Company would
direct its resources on several core product  categories:  computers,  software,
consumer electronics,  media, office supplies and other products. This change in
focus has significantly reduced the number of vendors utilized by the Company.

     The  restructuring  plan was  begun in the  fourth  quarter  of 1999 and is
expected to be completed by June 30, 2000. The plan required the  termination of
202 employees and cancellation of four office leases. The employee  terminations
represented  a 50%  reduction in  headcount.  The  restructuring  charge of $2.7
million is comprised of $2.2 million for employee terminations, $0.1 million for
lease  terminations  and $0.4 million for  professional  fees. These amounts are
classified  in the  "restructuring  and other  activities"  on the  statement of
operations.

     All  employees  were notified of their  terminations  during the week ended
December 31, 1999. The employee groups terminated  included all functional areas
within the Company.  The employees  received two months of severance one week of
additional  severance for each completed year of service.  These severance costs
were paid in the first  quarter of 2000 out of existing  cash  resources  of the
Company. As of December 31, 1999, the remaining  restructuring liability is $2.5
million.

     Also in the fourth  quarter of 1999,  the Company  recorded $2.2 million of
other  activities.  These charges  related to contract  settlements to eliminate
product lines ($0.5 million), executive severance unrelated to the restructuring
($1.1 million),  settlement of certain purchase  commitments  ($0.5 million) and
other ($0.1 million).

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Value  America's   management  has  prepared  the  consolidated   financial
statements and the related notes  appearing on pages 21 through 38 in conformity
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  In doing so, management makes
informed  judgments and estimates of the expected  effects of certain events and
transactions  on the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting periods.  Financial data appearing elsewhere in this annual
report are consistent with these financial statements.  However,  actual results
could differ from the estimates on which these financial statements are based.

     The Company  maintains a system of internal control to provide  reasonable,
but not absolute,  assurance of the reliability of the financial records and the
protection of assets. The internal control structure is supported by the careful
selection and training of qualified personnel and an internal audit program.

     These financial statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent  accountants.  Their  audit was made in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  auditing  standards and included a review of Value America's  internal
accounting  controls  to the extent  considered  necessary  to  determine  audit
procedures.

     The Audit  Committee of the Board of  Directors,  composed  only of outside
directors, meets with management, internal audit and the independent accountants
to review accounting,  auditing and financial reporting matters. The independent
accountants are appointed by the Board on recommendation of the Audit Committee,
subject to shareholder approval.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND
STOCKHOLDERS OF VALUE AMERICA, INC.

     In our opinion,  the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and related
consolidated  statements of  operations  and  comprehensive  loss, of changes in
stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Value America, Inc. and its subsidiaries, at
December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and the results of their  operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years ended  December  31, 1999 in  conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States. 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
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States 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 2 to the
financial  statements,  the Company has suffered  recurring  losses and negative
cash flows from  operations  that raise  substantial  doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these matters are
also  described  in  Note  2.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

America,  Inc. (the "Company") by attracting and retaining personnel,  including
employees,  directors and consultants,  through the use of stock incentives. The
Company  believes that  ownership of Company stock will stimulate the efforts of
those persons upon whose judgment,  interest and efforts the Company is and will
be largely dependent for the successful conduct of its business and will further
the  identification  of  those  persons'  interests  with the  interests  of the
Company's shareholders.

     (b) The Plan was adopted by the Board of  Directors  of the Company on July
15, 1999, and shall become  effective on July 15, 1999,  subject to the approval

Plan.  Options  granted  under  the  Plan  may be  Incentive  Stock  Options  or
Nonstatutory Stock Options.

     4. Stock.  Subject to Section 13 of the Plan,  there shall be reserved  for
issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 2,350,000 shares of Company Stock, which
may include  authorized,  but  unissued,  shares.  Shares  allocable  to Options
granted under the Plan that expire or otherwise terminate unexercised and shares
that are forfeited  pursuant to restrictions  on Restricted  Stock awarded under
the Plan may again be  subjected  to an Award under this Plan.  For  purposes of
determining  the number of shares that are  available for Awards under the Plan,
such number shall include the number of shares  surrendered  by a Participant or
retained by the Company (a) in connection  with the exercise of an Option or (b)
in payment of Applicable Withholding Taxes.

     5. Eligibility.

     (a) Any employee of,  director,  or  Consultant  to the Company who, in the
judgment of the Committee,  has  contributed or can be expected to contribute to
the profits or growth of the Company is  eligible to become a  Participant.  The
Committee shall have the power and complete  discretion,  as provided in Section
15, to select eligible  Participants  and to determine for each  Participant the
terms,  conditions  and  nature  of the  Award  and the  number  of shares to be
allocated  as part of the  Award;  provided,  however,  that any award made to a
member  of the  Committee  must be  approved  by the  Board.  The  Committee  is
expressly  authorized  to make an  Award  to a  Participant  conditioned  on the
surrender for cancellation of an existing Award.

     (b) The grant of an Award shall not obligate the Company to pay an employee
any  particular  amount of  remuneration,  to  continue  the  employment  of the
employee  after the grant or to make further  grants to the employee at any time
thereafter.

     (c) Non-employee directors and Consultants shall not be eligible to receive
the Award of an Incentive Stock Option.

     (d) The  maximum  number of shares  with  respect  to which an Award may be
granted in any calendar year to any employee  during such calendar year shall be
300,000 shares.

     6. Stock Options.

     (a) Whenever the Committee  deems it appropriate  to grant Options,  notice
shall be given to the Participant stating the number of shares for which Options
are granted,  the exercise  price per share,  whether the options are  Incentive
Stock Options or  Nonstatutory  Stock  Options,  and the conditions to which the
grant and exercise of the Options are subject.  This notice,  when duly accepted
in writing by the Participant, shall become a stock option agreement between the
Company and the Participant.

     (b) The  Committee  shall  establish  the  exercise  price of Options.  The
exercise  price of an Incentive  Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the
Fair  Market  Value of such  shares on the Date of Grant,  provided  that if the
Participant  is a 10%  Shareholder,  the exercise  price of an  Incentive  Stock
Option  shall be not less than 110% of the Fair  Market  Value of such shares on
the Date of Grant.  The  exercise  price of  Nonstatutory  Stock  Option  Awards
intended to be  performance-based  for purposes of Code Section 162(m) shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the Date of Grant.

     (c) Subject to subsection  (d) below,  Options may be exercised in whole or
in part at such times as may be specified by the Committee in the  Participant's
stock option  agreement.  The Committee may impose such vesting  conditions  and
other  requirements  as the Committee deems  appropriate,  and the Committee may
include such  provisions  regarding a Change of Control as the  Committee  deems
appropriate.

     (d)  The  Committee  shall  establish  the  term  of  each  Option  in  the
Participant's  stock option  agreement.  The term of an  Incentive  Stock Option
shall  not be  longer  than ten years  from the Date of  Grant,  except  that an
Incentive  Stock option  granted to a 10%  Shareholder  shall not have a term in
excess of five years.  No option may be exercised  after the  expiration  of its
term or, except as set forth in the Participant's stock option agreement,  after
the termination of the Participant's  employment.  The Committee shall set forth
in the Participant's  stock option agreement when, and under what circumstances,
an Option may be exercised after termination of the Participant's  employment or
period of service;  provided  that no  Incentive  Stock  Option may be exercised
after (i) three months from the Participant's termination of employment with the
Company for reasons other than  Disability  or death,  or (ii) one year from the
Participant's  termination of employment on account of Disability or death.  The
Committee  may, in its sole  discretion,  amend a previously  granted  Incentive
Stock Option to provide for more liberal exercise  provisions,  provided however
that if the Incentive  Stock Option as amended no longer meets the  requirements
of Code  Section  422,  and,  as a result  the  Option no longer  qualifies  for
favorable  federal  income tax  treatment  under Code Section 422, the amendment
shall not become effective without the written consent of the Participant.

     (e) An Incentive  Stock Option,  by its terms,  shall be exercisable in any
calendar  year  only  to  the  extent  that  the  aggregate  Fair  Market  Value
(determined  at the Date of Grant) of the  Company  Stock with  respect to which
Incentive  Stock Options are  exercisable by the  Participant for the first time
during the calendar  year does not exceed  $100,000 (the  "Limitation  Amount").
Incentive  Stock  Options  granted  under  the Plan and all  other  plans of the
Company and any parent or  subsidiary  of the Company  shall be  aggregated  for
purposes of  determining  whether the Limitation  Amount has been exceeded.  The
Board may impose such  conditions as it deems  appropriate on an Incentive Stock
option to ensure  that the  foregoing  requirement  is met. If  Incentive  Stock
Options that first become  exercisable  in a calendar year exceed the Limitation
Amount,  the excess Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options to the
extent permitted by law.

     (f) If a Participant dies and if the  Participant's  stock option agreement
provides that part or all of the Option may be exercised after the Participant's
death, then such portion may be exercised by the personal  representative of the
Participant's  estate  during  the time  period  specified  in the stock  option
agreement.

     7. Restricted Stock Awards.


     (a) Whenever the Committee deems it appropriate to grant a Restricted Stock
Award,  notice shall be given to the Participant stating the number of shares of
Restricted  Stock for which the  Award is  granted,  the Date of Grant,  and the
terms and  conditions to which the Award is subject.  Certificates  representing
the  shares  shall be  issued  in the name of the  Participant,  subject  to the
restrictions imposed by the Plan and the Committee. A Restricted Stock Award may
be made by the Committee in its discretion without cash consideration.

     (b) The Committee may place such  restrictions on the  transferability  and
vesting  of  Restricted  Stock as the  Committee  deems  appropriate,  including
restrictions  relating to continued employment and financial  performance goals.
Without limiting the foregoing,  the Committee may provide performance or Change
of  Control  acceleration  parameters  under  which all,  or a  portion,  of the
Restricted  Stock  will  vest  on  the  Company's   achievement  of  established
performance objectives. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
disposed  of,   pledged,   hypothecated  or  otherwise   encumbered   until  the
restrictions  on such  shares  shall  have  lapsed or shall  have  been  removed
pursuant to subsection (c) below.

     (c) The Committee  shall  establish as to each  Restricted  Stock Award the
terms and conditions upon which the restrictions on transferability set forth in
paragraph (b) above shall lapse. Such terms and conditions may include,  without
limitation,  the passage of time, the meeting of performance  goals, the lapsing
of such  restrictions as a result of the Disability,  death or retirement of the
Participant, or the occurrence of a Change of Control.

     (d) A  Participant  shall hold shares of  Restricted  Stock  subject to the
restrictions  set  forth  in the  Award  agreement  and in the  Plan.  In  other
respects,  the  Participant  shall  have all the  rights of a  shareholder  with
respect to the shares of Restricted  Stock,  including,  but not limited to, the
right to vote such shares and the right to receive all cash  dividends and other
distributions  paid thereon.  Certificates  representing  Restricted Stock shall
bear a  legend  referring  to the  restrictions  set  forth  in the Plan and the
Participant's  Award  agreement.  If stock  dividends are declared on Restricted
Stock, such stock dividends or other  distributions shall be subject to the same
restrictions as the underlying shares of Restricted Stock.

     8. Method of Exercise of Options.

     (a) Options may be  exercised by giving  written  notice of the exercise to
the  Company,  stating  the  number of shares  the  Participant  has  elected to
purchase under the Option. Such notice shall be effective only if accompanied by
the exercise price in full in cash;  provided that, if the terms of an Option so
permit,  the  Participant may (i) deliver Company Stock that the Participant has
previously  acquired  and  owned  (valued  at Fair  Market  Value on the date of
exercise),  or cause shares of Company  Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value
on the date of  exercise) to be withheld in  satisfaction  of all or any part of
the exercise price, or (ii) deliver a properly executed exercise notice together
with  irrevocable  instructions to a broker to deliver  promptly to the Company,
from the sale or loan  proceeds  with respect to the sale of Company  Stock or a
loan secured by Company  Stock,  the amount  necessary to pay the exercise price
and, if required by the Committee, Applicable Withholding Taxes.

     (b) The Company may place on any  certificate  representing  Company  Stock
issued  upon the  exercise  of an Option  any  legend  deemed  desirable  by the
Company's  counsel to comply with federal or state  securities laws. The Company
may require of the  Participant a customary  indication of his or her investment
intent.  A  Participant  shall not possess  shareholder  rights with  respect to
shares  acquired upon the exercise of an Option until the  Participant  has made
any required payment, including payment of Applicable Withholding Taxes, and the
Company has issued a certificate for the shares of Company Stock acquired.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Awards shall always be
granted and  exercised in such a manner as to conform to the  provisions of Rule
16b-3.

     9. Reload Option.

     (a) If a  Participant  exercises  an Option  that has a Reload  Feature  by
delivering  already  owned  shares  of  Company  Stock,  the  Participant  shall
automatically be granted a Reload Option.  The Reload Option shall be subject to
the following provisions:

     (i) The Reload  Option  shall  cover the number of shares of Company  Stock
delivered by the Participant to exercise the Option with the Reload Feature.

     (ii) The Reload Option will not have a Reload Feature.

     (iii) The exercise  price of shares of Company  Stock covered by the Reload
Option  shall be 100% of the Fair  Market  Value of such  shares on the date the
Participant  delivers  shares of Company  Stock to the Company to  exercise  the
Option that has the Reload Feature.

     (iv) The Reload Option shall be subject to the same  restrictions  as those
imposed on the underlying Option with the Reload Feature.

     (v) The Reload Option shall not be exercisable  until the expiration of any
retention  holding  period  imposed on the  disposition of any shares of Company
Stock covered by the underlying Option with the Reload Feature.

     (b) If a Participant  in the Value America 1997 Stock  Incentive  Plan (the
"1997 Plan")  exercises an Option with a Reload Feature granted  pursuant to the
1997 Plan, and the number of authorized  shares available under the 1997 Plan is
insufficient  to grant the Reload  Option,  the Reload  Option  shall be granted
pursuant  to this  Plan.  The  Reload  Option  shall be  granted  subject to the
provisions of subsection (a) above.

     10.  Applicable  Withholding  Taxes.  Each  Participant  shall agree,  as a
condition  of receiving an Award,  to pay to the Company,  or make  arrangements
satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all Applicable Withholding
Taxes with respect to the Award.  Until the  Applicable  Withholding  Taxes have
been paid or  arrangements  satisfactory to the Company have been made, no stock
certificates (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, no stock certificates free of
a restrictive  legend) shall be issued to the Participant.  As an alternative to
making a cash  payment  to the  Company to satisfy  Applicable  Withholding  Tax
obligations,  the Committee may establish procedures  permitting the Participant
to elect to (a) deliver  shares of already  owned  Company Stock or (b) have the
Company  retain that number of shares of Company Stock that would satisfy all or
a specified portion of the Applicable Withholding Taxes. Any such election shall
be made only in accordance with  procedures  established by the Committee and in
accordance with Rule 16b-3.

     11. Nontransferability of Awards.

     (a) In general,  Awards,  by their terms,  shall not be transferable by the
Participant  except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or except
as described  below.  Options  shall be  exercisable,  during the  Participant's
lifetime, only by the Participant or by his guardian or legal representative.

     (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and subject to federal and state
securities  laws,  the Committee may grant or amend  Nonstatutory  Stock Options
that  permit a  Participant  to transfer  the  Options to one or more  immediate
family members,  to a trust for the benefit of immediate family members, or to a
partnership,  limited  liability  company,  or other  entity the only  partners,
members,  or  interest-holders  of which are among the  Participant's  immediate
family members.  Consideration may not be paid for the transfer of Options.  The
transferee  of an Option shall be subject to all  conditions  applicable  to the
Option prior to its transfer.  The agreement granting the Option shall set forth
the  transfer  conditions  and  restrictions.  The  Committee  may impose on any
transferable  Option and on stock  issued  upon the  exercise  of an Option such
limitations and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.

     12.  Termination,  Modification,  Change.  If not sooner  terminated by the
Board,  this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the July 14, 2009.
No Awards  shall be made  under the Plan  after its  termination.  The Board may
terminate  the Plan or may  amend  the Plan in such  respects  as it shall  deem
advisable;  provided, that, unless authorized by the Company's shareholders,  no
change  shall be made that (a)  increases  the total number of shares of Company
Stock  reserved for issuance  pursuant to Awards  granted under the Plan (except
pursuant to Section  13),  (b) expands the class of persons  eligible to receive
Awards, (c) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the
Plan, or (d) otherwise requires shareholder approval under the Code, Rule 16b-3,
or  the  rules  of a  domestic  exchange  on  which  Company  Stock  is  traded.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Board may  unilaterally  amend the Plan and
Awards as it deems appropriate to ensure compliance with Rule 16b-3 and to cause
Incentive  Stock Options to meet the  requirements  of the Code and  regulations
thereunder.  Except as provided in the  preceding  sentence,  a  termination  or
amendment  of the Plan  shall  not,  without  the  consent  of the  Participant,
adversely  affect a Participant's  rights under an Award  previously  granted to
him.

     13. Change in Capital Structure.

     (a) In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares,
spin-off,  recapitalization  or  merger in which the  Company  is the  surviving
corporation,  or other change in the Company's capital stock (including, but not
limited  to, the  creation  or issuance  to  shareholders  generally  of rights,
options or warrants for the  purchase of common stock or preferred  stock of the
Company), the number and kind of shares of stock or securities of the Company to
be issued under the Plan (under  outstanding  Awards and Awards to be granted in
the future),  the exercise price of options, and other relevant provisions shall
be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be binding
on all persons.  If the adjustment would produce  fractional shares with respect
to any  Award,  the  Committee  may  adjust  appropriately  the number of shares
covered by the Award so as to eliminate the fractional shares.

     (b) In the event the Company distributes to its shareholders a dividend, or
sells or causes to be sold to a person  other than the  Company or a  subsidiary
shares of stock in any  corporation  (a "Spinoff  Company")  which,  immediately
before the distribution or sale, was a majority owned Subsidiary of the Company,
the  Committee  shall  have the  power,  in its sole  discretion,  to make  such
adjustments  as  the  Committee  deems  appropriate.   The  Committee  may  make
adjustments  in the number and kind of shares or other  securities  to be issued
under  the Plan  (under  outstanding  Awards  and  Awards to be  granted  in the
future),  the exercise  price of Options,  and other relevant  provisions,  and,
without limiting the foregoing,  may substitute  securities of a Spinoff Company
for securities of the Company.  The Committee shall make such  adjustments as it
determines  to  be   appropriate,   considering   the  economic  effect  of  the
distribution  or sale on the  interests of the  Company's  shareholders  and the
Participants in the businesses operated by the Spinoff Company.  The Committee's
determination  shall be binding on all persons.  If the adjustment would produce
fractional   shares  with  respect  to  any  Award,  the  Committee  may  adjust
appropriately  the number of shares  covered by the Award so as to eliminate the
fractional shares.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may
take the  foregoing  actions  without  the consent of any  Participant,  and the
Committee's determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all
purposes. The Committee shall make its determinations consistent with Rule 16b-3
and the applicable provisions of the Code.

     14. Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control of the Company,
the  Committee,  as  constituted  before  such  Change in  Control,  in its sole
discretion  may, as to any  outstanding  Award,  either at the time the Award is
made or any time thereafter, take any one or more of the following actions:

     (a)  Provide  for the  acceleration  of any time  periods  relating  to the
exercise or realization of any such Award so that such Award may be exercised or
realized in full on or before a date initially fixed by the Committee;

     (b)  Provide  for the  purchase  or  settlement  of any  such  Award by the
Company,  upon a  Participant's  request,  for any  amount of cash  equal to the
amount  which  could  have been  obtained  upon the  exercise  of such  Award or
realization  of  such  Participant's   rights  had  such  Award  been  currently
exerciseable or payable;

     (c)  Make  such  adjustment  to any  such  Award  then  outstanding  as the
Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control; or

     (d) Cause any such  Award then  outstanding  to be  assumed,  or new rights
substituted  therefor,  by the acquiring or surviving corporation in such Change
of Control.

     15. Administration of the Plan.

     (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, who shall be appointed
by the Board.  If no Committee is appointed,  the Plan shall be  administered by
the Board.  To the extent  required by Rule 16b-3,  all Awards  shall be made by
members  of the  Committee  who are  "Non-Employee  Directors"  as that  term is
defined  in  Rule  16b-3,  or by the  Board.  Awards  that  are  intended  to be
performance-based  for  purposes  of  Code  section  162(m)  shall  be made by a
Committee,  or  subcommittee of the Committee,  comprised  solely of two or more
"outside directors" as that term is defined for purposes of Code section 162(m).

     (b) The Committee  shall have the authority to impose such  limitations  or
conditions  upon an Award as the  Committee  deems  appropriate  to achieve  the
objectives  of the Award and the Plan.  Without  limiting the  foregoing  and in
addition to the powers set forth elsewhere in the Plan, the Committee shall have
the power and complete  discretion to determine (i) which eligible persons shall
receive  an Award and the  nature  of the  Award,  (ii) the  number of shares of
Company  Stock to be covered  by each  Award,  (iii)  whether  Options  shall be
Incentive  Stock options or  Nonstatutory  Stock  Options,  (iv) the Fair Market
Value of Company  Stock,  (v) the time or times when an Award  shall be granted,
(vi) whether an Award shall become vested over a period of time,  according to a
performance-based  vesting  schedule  or  otherwise,  and when it shall be fully
vested,  (vii) the terms and conditions under which restrictions imposed upon an
Award shall lapse,  (viii) whether a Change of Control  exists,  (ix) whether to
include a Reload  feature in an Option;  (x)  factors  relevant  to the lapse of
restrictions on Restricted Stock or Options, (xi) when Options may be exercised,
(xii)  whether to approve a  Participant's  election  with respect to Applicable
Withholding  Taxes,  (xiii)  conditions  relating  to the length of time  before
disposition of Company Stock received in connection  with an Award is permitted,
(xiv) notice provisions relating to the sale of Company Stock acquired under the
Plan, and (xv) any additional requirements relating to Awards that the Committee
deems  appropriate.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no "tandem stock options"
(where two stock  options  are issued  together  and the  exercise of one option
affects the right to exercise the other option) may be issued in connection with
Incentive Stock Options.

     (c) The  Committee  shall  have the power to amend the terms of  previously
granted Awards so long as the terms as amended are consistent  with the terms of
the Plan and, where  applicable,  consistent with the qualification of an option
as an Incentive Stock Option.  The consent of the  Participant  must be obtained
with respect to any  amendment  that would  adversely  affect the  Participant's
rights under the Award,  except that such consent  shall not be required if such
amendment is for the purpose of complying with Rule 16b-3 or any  requirement of
the Code applicable to the Award.

     (d) The  Committee  may adopt rules and  regulations  for  carrying out the
Plan. The Committee shall have the express  discretionary  authority to construe
and interpret the Plan and the Award agreements, to resolve any ambiguities,  to
define any terms, and to make any other  determinations  required by the Plan or
an Award agreement. The interpretation and construction of any provisions of the
Plan or an Award agreement by the Committee  shall be final and conclusive.  The
Committee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Company, and shall
not incur any  liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the
advice of counsel.

     (e) A majority of the members of the Committee  shall  constitute a quorum,
and all  actions of the  Committee  shall be taken by a majority  of the members
present.  Any action may be taken by a written  instrument  signed by all of the
members,  and any  action so taken  shall be fully  effective  as if it had been
taken at a meeting.

     16. Notice. All notices and other  communications  required or permitted to
be given  under this Plan  shall be in writing  and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if  delivered  personally,  electronically,  or mailed  first  class,
postage prepaid,  as follows:  (a) if to the Company - at its principal business
address to the attention of the  Secretary;  (b) if to any  Participant - at the
last  address of the  Participant  known to the sender at the time the notice or
other communication is sent.

     17.  Interpretation  and  Governing  Law. The terms of this Plan and Awards
granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be governed,  construed and  administered in
accordance with the laws of the  Commonwealth  of Virginia.  The Plan and Awards
are subject to all present and future applicable  provisions of the Code and, to
the extent applicable, they are subject to all present and future rulings of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission with respect to Rule 16b-3. If any provision
of the Plan or an Award  conflicts with any such Code  provision or ruling,  the
Committee shall cause the Plan to be amended,  and shall modify the Award, so as
to comply, or if for any reason amendments cannot be made, that provision of the
Plan or the Award shall be void and of no effect.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  our Company  has caused this Plan to be adopted  this
____ day of ______________, 1999.
