                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

a.   The condensed  consolidated  financial statements of IBS Interactive,  Inc.
     ("IBS,"  or the  "Company")  included  herein  have  been  prepared  by the
     Company,  without  audit,  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the
     Securities  and Exchange  Commission  with respect to Form 10-QSB.  Certain
     information  and  footnote   disclosures  normally  included  in  financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to such  rules and
     regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made herein
     are adequate to make the information contained herein not misleading. These
     condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the Company's audited  financial  statements for the fiscal year ended
     December 31, 1998 and the notes thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual
     Report  on  Form  10-KSB.  In  the  Company's   opinion,   all  adjustments
     (consisting  only of normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  for a fair
     presentation  of the  information  shown  herein  have  been  included.  As
     discussed in Note 2, the Company  acquired  Spectrum  Information  Systems,
     Inc.   ("Spectrum")   in  a  business   combination   accounted  for  as  a
     pooling-of-interests.

b.    The results of operations  and cash flows for the three months ended March
      31, 1999 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of
      operations and cash flows expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

c.    Previously issued consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto for
      the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  1998  have been  restated,  as
      required,  to reflect  the 1998  business  combinations  accounted  for as
      poolings-of-interests  (DesignFX  Interactive,  LLC ("Design FX") and Halo
      Network  Management,  LLC  ("Halo"))  as  well  as the  Spectrum  business
      combination.

d.   Basic  earnings  (loss) per share  have been  computed  using the  weighted
     average  number of shares of common stock  outstanding,  which includes the
     shares issued in connection with the Spectrum combination. Diluted earnings
     per share for the  three-month  period  ended March 31, 1998  included  the
     assumed exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible debt (using the
     treasury stock method) that could  potentially  dilute  earnings per share.
     For the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1999,  there was no difference
     between  basic and  diluted  loss per  common  share  because  the  assumed
     exercise of common share equivalents was antidilutive.

2.    BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

         Purchase Aquisitions

     All of the  following  business  combinations  have been  accounted  for as
     purchases.  The ultimate  values  ascribed to the  purchases are subject to
     certain adjustments between the parties. The Company's  acquisitions do not
     represent,  individually  and in the  aggregate,  significant  susidiaries.
     Accordingly,   condensed  and  pro  forma  financial   information  is  not
     presented.


                                       5

a.       On January 29,  1999,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the
         assets of  Mainsite  Communications,  a  Bridgeport,  New  Jersey-based
         Internet Service Provider.

b.       On February 22, 1999,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the
         assets of the Renaissance Internet Services Division ("Renaissance") of
         PIVC,  LLC.  Renaissance  is an  Internet  Service  Provider  based  in
         Huntsville, Alabama.

c.       On March 1, 1999, the Company acquired  substantially all of the assets
         of EZ Net, Inc., a Yorktown, Virginia-based Internet Service Provider.

d.       On March 25, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
         of the Advicom - Advanced Internet  Communications Division ("ADViCOM")
         of Multitronics,  Inc. ADViCOM is an Internet Service Provider based in
         Huntsville, Alabama.


      Pooling-of-Interest 

e.    On March 31, 1999,  the Company signed an agreement with Spectrum to issue
      145,456  shares of its common  stock in exchange for all of the issued and
      outstanding capital stock of Spectrum, a full-service  provider of network
      and systems  integration  solutions.  The  business  combination  has been
      accounted for as a  pooling-of-interests.  The  accompanying  consolidated
      financial  statements  are based on the  assumption  that the  Company and
      Spectrum were combined as of January 1, 1998, and  accordingly,  financial
      statements  of prior  periods  have been  restated  to give  effect to the
      Spectrum combination. There were no material adjustments necessary for the
      Company and Spectrum to conform to consistent accounting policies. Through
      the acquisition date, the shareholders of Spectrum elected,  as permitted,
      to report  income for  federal  and state  income tax  purposes  as an "S"
      corporation.   Under  those  regulations,  the  shareholders  individually
      received the income tax provision or benefit of their  respective share of

3.    1998 INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

      On May 14, 1998,  the  Company's  registration  statement on Form SB-2, as
      amended (the "Registration  Statement"),  relating to its initial offering
      of common stock,  was declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange
      Commission  (the  "Offering").  Whale  Securities  Co., L.P.  acted as the
      underwriter in connection  with the Offering which was  consummated on May
      20, 1998. In connection with the Offering, the Company registered,  issued
      and sold  1,380,000  shares of common stock,  including  180,000 shares of
      common  stock  issued  in  connection  with  the  exercise  in full of the
      underwriter's over-allotment option at an initial public offering price of
      $6.00 per share  resulting in proceeds to the Company (net of underwriting
      discount,  commissions  and other expenses  payable by the Company) in the
      aggregate approximate amount of $6,642,000. From the effective date of the
      Registration  Statement through March 31,1999,  the Company has applied an
      aggregate  of $507,000 of the net  proceeds of the  Offering  for the full
      repayment  of certain  indebtedness;  $351,000  towards  the  purchase  of
      equipment;  $909,000  towards the  purchase of assets of, or the  outright
      acquisition  of,  companies;  $493,000  towards sales and  marketing;  and
      $300,000  towards  general  administrative  expenses.  The  remaining  net
      proceeds of the Offering in the amount of $4,082,000 remain unused and are
      invested in short-term assets.

4.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

      In March 1999,  the Company  agreed to issue 12,500  shares of  restricted
      stock to an  officer.  The stock  award  vests over a  three-year  period;
      however,  if certain events occur,  the unvested portion of the award will
      automatically  vest. The value ascribed to the stock award  ($195,000) was
      based,  in part, on the per share price of the  Company's  common stock at
      the date of the agreement.  The values ascribed to this award approximates
      $195,000 and is included as an intangible  asset (to be amortized over the
      vesting period) and as "Deferred  Compensation" in the accompanying  March
      31, 1999 consolidated balance sheet. Such liability will be reduced if and
      when the shares are formally issued.

      In February 1999 and March 1999, respectively, the Company consummated the
      acquisitions  of  substantially  all of  the  assets  of  the  Renaissance
      Internet  Services  Division of PIVC,  LLC, and  substantially  all of the
      assets of EZ Net, Inc.,  and in connection  therewith  issued  warrants to
      purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock to the investment advisory firm
      that assisted the Company on such acquisitions.


5.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a)     On April 30, 1999 the Company acquired  Realshare,  Inc., a Cherry Hill,
        New Jersey-based Web-site design and programming company.

                                       7
<PAGE>

(b)     On April 30, 1999,  Millennium  Computer  Applications,  Inc. was merged
        into the  Company  pursuant  to the laws of the States of  Delaware  and
        North Carolina, respectively. Millennium Computer Applications, Inc., is
        an Internet Service Provider based in Shallotte, North Carolina.

(c)     On May 7, 1999, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the consumer
        dial-up and ISDN  accounts from the owners of Planet  Access,  Inc. 
        and  related  computer  equipment  from Planet Access,  Inc.,  a 
        Stanhope, New Jersey-based Internet Service Provider.

      All of these business  combinations  have been accounted for as purchases.
The ultimate values ascribed to the purchases are subject to certain adjustments
between  the  parties.   The  Company's  1999  acquisitions  do  not  represent,
individually  and  in  the  aggregate,  significant  subsidiaries.  Accordingly,
condensed and pro forma financial information is not presented.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange
Act"). Actual results,  events and circumstances  (including future performance,
results  and  trends)  could  differ  materially  from  those  set forth in such
statements due to various factors,  risks and uncertainties  including those set

and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  Certain  Factors
Which May Affect the Company's Future Performance." Except as otherwise required

OVERVIEW

      The Company  provides a broad range of computer  networking,  programming,
applications  development  and Internet  services  primarily to  businesses  and
organizations.  The Company's  revenues are derived  principally from consulting
fees earned in connection with the performance of systems integration  services,
recurring  monthly  Internet  connectivity  fees and  consulting  fees earned in
connection with programming and applications development services.

      The  Company  commenced  operations  in June 1995 as an  Internet  service
provider offering  Web-site hosting services.  Since April 1996, the Company has
acquired Interactive Networks,  Inc., Mordor International and Allnet Technology
Services,  Inc., each an Internet service provider  principally offering dial-up
access  services.   The  Company  began  to  provide  Systems   Integration  and
Programming  and  Applications  Development  services  in  April  1996  and  has
increasingly  emphasized  such services.  In January 1998, the Company  acquired
Entelechy,   Inc.,  a  provider  of  programming  and  applications  development
services,  and also acquired  substantially all of the assets of JDT Webwerx LLC
(consisting primarily of computer equipment and intangible assets). In September
1998,  the Company  acquired  all of the  outstanding  membership  interests  of
DesignFX  Interactive,   LLC,  a  Cherry  Hill,  New  Jersey-based  provider  of
Web-design,  programming  and hosting  services.  In December  1998, the Company
acquired   substantially   all  of  the  assets  of  MBS,  Inc.,  a  Huntsville,
Alabama-based  Microsoft  Certified Technical Education Provider - Partner Level
and also acquired Halo Network Management,  LLC, an Eatontown,  New Jersey-based
network management company that offers full-service  network solutions including
planning,  installation  and  maintenance.  In the first  quarter  of 1999,  the
Company  continued to make strategic  acquisitions,  acquiring (i) substantially
all  of  the  assets  of  Mainsite   Communications  Inc.,  a  Bridgeport,   New
Jersey-based Internet Service Provider;  (ii) substantially all of the assets of
the Renaissance  Internet  Services  Division of PIVC, LLC, an Internet  Service

                                       8

Provider  headquartered in Huntsville,  Alabama;  (iii) substantially all of the
assets of EZ Net, Inc., a Yorktown,  Virginia-based  Internet Service  Provider;
(iv)  substantially  all of the assets of the ADViCOM  Division of Multitronics,
Inc., an Internet Service Provider headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama; and (v)
the  aforementioned  combination  with  Spectrum,  a  Huntsville,  Alabama-based
systems integrator.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

REVENUES:

      Revenues increased by $365,000, or 12.6%, from $2,908,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 ("1998") to $3,273,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 ("1999"). Revenues for 1999 increased primarily due to higher
Network Installation service revenues than those recognized in 1998 and, to a
lesser extent, higher Web Design service revenues than those recognized in 1998.
Additionally, the continued expansion of the Company's network through
acquisitions and relationships with Competitive Local Exchange carriers during
1999 resulted in additional Internet services revenue. The Company's largest
customer, Aetna (which engaged the Company in October 1997), accounted for 59%
of the Company's consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 1998 and only
19% for the first quarter of 1999. Non-Aetna revenues increased 122% for
the first quarter 1999 as compared to the first quarter 1998.

COST OF SERVICES:

      Cost of services consists  primarily of expenses relating to the operation
of the network,  including  telecommunications  and Internet access costs, costs
associated with monitoring  network traffic and quality and providing  technical
support to clients and subscribers,  cost of equipment and applications  sold to
clients and subscribers,  salaries and expenses of engineering,  programming and
technical  personnel and fees paid to outside  consultants.  The Company expects
that its cost of services  will increase in the future to the extent the Company
is able to  expand  its  client  and  subscriber  base,  as well as its  service
offerings  and  network.  Cost of services  increased  by  $60,000,  or 3%, from
$1,807,000  in 1998 to  $1,867,000  in  1999.  However,  cost of  services  as a
percentage  of sales  declined in the first quarter of 1999 as a result of lower
telecommunications  costs, as well as an increase in revenues  related to higher
margin services.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE:

      Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries
and costs associated with sales personnel,  marketing  literature,  advertising,
direct  mailings  and  the  Company's   management,   accounting,   finance  and
administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
by $879,000, or 131%, from $672,000 in 1998 to $1,551,000 in 1999. This increase
is primarily  attributable to the Company's  expanded  promotional and marketing
activities,  the hiring of additional marketing and administrative  personnel to
manage  the  growth  in  the   Company's   business,   as  well  as   additional
administrative  and  professional  costs associated with operating as a publicly
traded company.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

      Amortization  of intangible  assets  increased by $34,000,  or 110%,  from
$31,000 in 1998 to $65,000 in 1999. This increase is primarily attributed to the
amortization  of  intangible  assets,  including  customer  lists and  goodwill,
acquired  by the  Company in  connection  with its  purchase  of Micro  Business
Solutions Inc., Mainsite  Communications  Inc., the Renaissance  Internet Access
Division of PIVC,  LLC, Ez Net Inc. and the ADViCOM  Internet Access Division of
Multitronics, Inc., all of which were consummated subsequent to March 31, 1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME):

      Interest expense consists of interest on indebtedness,  capital leases and
financing  arrangements  in connection with the Company's  borrowings.  Interest
income consists of money earned on cash  equivalents.  Interest expense (income)
decreased by $62,000 from approximately $37,000 of expense in 1998 to $25,000 of
income in 1999.  This decrease is primarily due to an increase in invested funds
as a result of the Company's receipt of net proceeds of approximately $6,642,000
from the Offering.

TAX BENEFIT (PROVISION):

     The Company recognized a tax benefit of $126,000 in 1999 compared to a tax
provision  of $117,000  in 1998.  At March 31,  1999,  based on  estimated  1999
taxable income,  its ability to carryback  operating losses against previous tax
payments,  and an  assessment of all available  evidence,  management  considers
realization  of the unreserved  deferred tax asset  ($258,000) to be more likely
than not.

NET INCOME:

     As a result of the  foregoing,  the  Company had a net loss of $163,000
for 1999 compared to net income of $204,000 for 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company's cash  requirements have been to fund working capital as well
as acquisitions and capital expenditures in connection with providing consulting
services  to  clients  and  Internet  access to  subscribers.  The  Company  has
historically satisfied its cash requirements principally through the issuance of
equity and debt securities and borrowings.

      At March 31,  1999,  the Company had working  capital of  $4,826,000.  The
increase in liquidity  resulted  primarily from the receipt of net proceeds from
the Offering in the amount of $6,642,000.

      Net cash used in operating  activities decreased from $267,000 provided in
1998 to  $402,000  used in 1999.  This  change  was  primarily  attributable  to
operating  results  which  produced a net loss in the amount of $163,000 for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  compared  to net income in the amount of
$204,000 for the corresponding three month period in 1998.

      Net cash used in investing  activities  increased from $347,000 in 1998 to
$892,000 in 1999 due to increased capital  expenditures  principally  related to
the expansion and  enhancement of the Company's  network and the  acquisition of
five additional companies during the first quarter of 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>


      Net cash provided by financing  activities was $287,000 in 1998,  compared
to $28,000 used in 1999. This change is primarily  attributable to the borrowing
of $200,000 from Commerce Bank during the first quarter of 1998.

      At March 31,  1999,  the  Company  had capital  lease  obligations  in the
aggregate amount of $52,000 that are secured by the personal  guarantees of each
of Nicholas R.  Loglisci,  Jr.,  the  Company's  President  and Chief  Executive
Officer; Clark D. Frederick, the Company's Chief Technical Officer; and Frank R.
Altieri,  Jr., the Company's Chief Information Officer. In addition,  certain of
these capital lease  agreements are secured by the equipment that is the subject
of the capital lease.

      In June 1998,  the Company  secured a line of credit in the amount of $1.5
million  from First Union  National  Bank.  The line of credit is for a one-year
period  effective  July 1,  1998.  As of March  31,  1999,  the  Company  had no
outstanding indebtedness under such line of credit.

      Additionally,  in May 1998, the Company secured  equipment lines of credit
from Ascend Credit Corp.,  Cisco Systems Capital Corp. and PAM Financial  Corp.,
each  in the  amount  of  $500,000.  At  March  31,  1999,  the  Company  had no
outstanding indebtedness under any such line of credit.

      The  Company  expects  that  cash flow  generated  by its  operations  and
borrowings  under its  various  lines of credit will be  sufficient  to meet its
planned operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On April 30, 1999 the Company acquired Realshare, Inc., a Cherry Hill, New
Jersey-based Web-site design and programming company.

     On April 30, 1999, Millennium Computer  Applications,  Inc. was merged into
the Company  pursuant to the laws of the States of Delaware and North  Carolina,
respectively.  Millennium  Computer  Applications,  Inc. is an Internet  Service
Provider based in Shallotte, North Carolina.

      On May 7, 1999,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the consumer
dial-up and ISDN  accounts  from the owners of Planet  Access,  Inc. and related
computer  equipment  from Planet  Access,  Inc., a Stanhope,  New  Jersey-based
Internet Service Provider.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

      The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the  applicable  year.  Computer  programs
that have  time-sensitive  software may  recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000.  This situation could result in a system failure
or miscalculations  causing  disruptions of operations,  including  inability to
process transactions or engage in normal business activities.

      Management  has  evaluated the  Company's  computer  software and hardware
systems,  and, based on currently available  information,  believes that it will
not have to replace or modify any of its  hardware  but has,  and will have,  to
modify its software so that its systems will  function  properly with respect to
dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.  It is believed that the greatest risk to
the  Company  will be from  outside  firms  that the  Company  relies on for its
operations as well as the legacy computer systems of its clients. The failure by

                                       11
<PAGE>

outside  firms  and/or  clients'  failure  to  address  Year 2000  issues  could
interfere  with the  Company's  ability to provide its  services,  and therefore
impact future revenues.  As of May 7, 1999, the Company has contingency plans in
place to remedy these types of problems.  Estimated  costs  associated with such
plans are not expected to exceed $100,000, which are likely to be funded through
the use of available internal employees and resources. At this time, the Company
believes  that  the  most  likely  "worst  case"  scenario  involves   potential
disruptions  in areas in which the  Company's  operations  must rely on  outside
firms or clients whose systems may not function  properly after January 1, 2000.
While such failures  could affect  important  operations of the Company,  either
indirectly or directly,  in a significant  manner, the Company cannot at present
estimate either the likelihood or the potential cost of such failures.

amended (file number 333-47741) (the "Registration Statement"),  relating to the
Offering,  was declared effective by the Commission.  Whale Securities Co., L.P.

and other expenses payable by the Company) in the aggregate  approximate  amount
of $6,642,000.  Additionally,  the Company  registered  120,000 shares of common
stock  underlying  warrants to purchase common stock which warrants were sold by
the Company to the  underwriter  for $100.  The warrants are  exercisable  for a

$8.10 per share.

      From the effective date of the  Registration  Statement  through March 31,
1999,  the Company has applied an  aggregate  of $507,000 of the net proceeds of
the Offering for the full repayment of certain  indebtedness;  $351,000  towards
the purchase of  equipment;  $909,000  towards the purchase of assets of, or the
outright  acquisition of, companies;  $493,000 towards sales and marketing;  and
$300,000 towards general administrative expenses. The Company believes that none

indirectly,  to (i)  directors  or officers of the Company or their  affiliates,
(ii) persons owning ten percent or more of the common stock or (iii)  affiliates
of the Company.  To date, the Company believes that it has used the net proceeds

proceeds of the Offering in the amount of $4,082,000 remain unused.
