                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To ShopNow.com Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SpeedyClick, Corp. (a
California corporation) as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period from inception
(September 1, 1998) to December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SpeedyClick, Corp.
as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period from inception (September 1, 1998) to December 31, 1998 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               SPEEDYCLICK, CORP.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

(INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 IS UNAUDITED.)

1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

         SpeedyClick, Corp., a California corporation, (the Company) was founded
in September 1998 in Glendale, California. The Company operates a website
targeted toward women which offers various games and entertainment.
The website went live in January 1999.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA

         The unaudited interim financial statements as of September 30, 1999 and
for the nine-month period then ended have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial information set forth therein, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         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, the
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.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenues are generated primarily from click-through payments,
interactive game sponsorships and e-mailings. The Company uses outside
advertising agencies to obtain a significant portion of its advertising
revenues. Revenues are recognized net of commissions paid to advertising
agencies ratably over the term of the advertising contract or over the course of
the sponsorship.

         CASH

         Cash consists of deposits in checking and savings accounts. The Company
has no cash equivalents.

         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts
receivable.

         To date, accounts receivable have been derived from revenues earned
from customers located in the United States. Historically, credit losses have
been minor and within management's expectations.


                                      -7-

<PAGE>

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment consists primarily of computer equipment and
furniture and is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which are estimated to be
three years.

         SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

         Under the criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," capitalization of software development
costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the product,
which the Company has defined as the completion of beta testing of a working
product. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing
assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by
management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited
to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technology. Amounts that could have been
capitalized under this statement after consideration of the above factors were
immaterial and, therefore, no software development costs have been capitalized
by the Company to date.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist
primarily of salaries, travel, materials, supplies and contract services.

         STOCK COMPENSATION

         The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company
applies Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its employee
stock benefits.

3.       INCOME TAXES:

         At December 31, 1998, a valuation allowance was recognized to offset
the related deferred tax asset of approximately $10,200 due to the uncertainty
of realizing the benefit of the Company's net operating loss carryforward. The
need for this valuation allowance is subject to periodic review. If it is
determined in a future period that it is more likely than not that the tax
benefit of the carryforward will be realized, the reduction of the valuation
allowance will be recorded as a reduction of the Company's income tax expense.

         At December 31, 1998, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward
of approximately $27,000, which expires in 2012. Under current tax law, net
operating loss carryforwards available in any given year may be limited upon the
occurrence of certain events, including significant changes in ownership
interests.

4.       COMMITMENTS:

         The Company operated in space provided to it by a related party for the
period from inception to December 31, 1998, and accordingly, no rent expense was
recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Had such expense been
recorded the effects on the accompanying financial statements would have been
immaterial.


                                      -8-

<PAGE>

5.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         Since formation, the founders did not receive salaries. Accordingly, no
compensation expense was recorded by the Company. Additionally, certain
operating expenses of the Company were paid on its behalf by the founders and
certain related parties. No amounts funded by related parties have been recorded
in the accompanying financial statements. The amounts funded related to
operating expenses are not estimable and will not be repaid by the Company to
the funding parties.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

         AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

         On April 19, 1999, the Company restated its articles of incorporation
approving, among other things:

         -        STOCK SPLIT - a 5.55555 for one stock split, which has been
                  reflected in the accompanying financial statements as if it
                  had occurred at inception.

         -        STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN - the SpeedyClick, Corp. 1999 Stock
                  Incentive Plan (Plan) was approved and a number of awards of
                  stock options were granted to vest retroactive to the original
                  hiring date of the employee. 375,000 shares are reserved for
                  issuance under the Plan. As of September 30, 1999, there were
                  218,818 options outstanding at prices ranging from $0.01 to
                  $0.10 per share.

         -        AUTHORIZED STOCK - The Company was authorized to issue two
                  classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common
                  Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares which
                  the Company was authorized to issue is 7,000,000 shares of
                  Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

         BRIDGE LOAN FINANCING

         On April 2, 1999, the Company issued a $100,000 convertible promissory
note to an outside investor. The note accrued interest at the rate of five
percent per year until the note was converted into 100,000 shares of Series A
preferred stock on May 10, 1999.

         SALE OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

         On May 10, 1999, the Company issued 535,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, of which 100,000 shares were issued upon conversion of a bridge
loan, while the remaining were sold for cash. Dividends are payable at a rate of
$.08 per share when declared and are non-cumulative. The holders of these shares
were entitled to receive a preference in liquidation equal to the original
issuance price plus any declared but unpaid dividends.

         SALE OF COMMON STOCK

         On May 10, 1999, the Company issued 145,000 shares of common stock to
investors at $0.10 per share. These shares have the same rights and preferences
as the previously issued common shares granted at inception.


                                      -9-

         NOTES PAYABLE

         The Company obtained a $200,000 loan from an outside investor and a
$100,000 loan from one of the founders during August and September 1999. The
$200,000 loan was subsequently converted into 100,000 shares of common stock
prior to the acquisition by ShopNow.com Inc. (ShopNow) on November 12, 1999 as
discussed below. The $100,000 loan was repaid by ShopNow in conjunction with the
acquisition.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

                      (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1999
gives effect to the acquisition of SpeedyClick, Corp. as if the transaction had
occurred on September 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 gives effect to the acquisitions of Media Assets, Inc., The
Internet Mall, Inc., GO Software, Inc. and SpeedyClick, Corp., and the
disposition of BuySoftware.com, as if these transactions had occurred January 1,
1998.

         The pro forma combined financial statements are presented for
illustrative purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the
actual combined results of operations as may exist in the future. The pro forma
adjustments are based on the cash and common stock consideration exchanged by
ShopNow.com Inc. for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.

2.       PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

         (a)      To record amortization of intangible assets based on the
excess purchase price. Because Media Assets, Inc. and The Internet Mall, Inc.
were acquired during 1998 and GO Software was acquired on June 15, 1999,
amortization is based on the actual purchase price allocation and computed for
the period from January 1, 1998 to the respective date of acquisition. Because
SpeedyClick, Corp. was acquired on November 12, 1999, the amortization is based
on the estimated purchase price allocation and computed for the period from
January 1, 1998 to the respective date of acquisition.

         (c)      To eliminate the results of operations of BuySoftware.com.
Given the Company's continued involvement in certain retailing activities, the
results of BuySoftware.com have been reflected in continuing operations through
June 1999. However, the Company believes that it is meaningful to present the
disposal as if it had occurred as of January 1, 1998. As BuySoftware.com was run
as a separate business segment, the revenues, cost of revenues and operating
expenses directly attributable to the business segment were removed.

         (d)      To eliminate tax benefits recorded by GO Software, Inc., which
may not be realized by the Company.

         (e)      To eliminate transactions recognized by SpeedyClick related to
advertising received from ShopNow.com Inc. As the pro forma statements of
operations are prepared as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 1998, these
revenues and the related expense have been eliminated.

         (f)      To record compensation of SpeedyClick executives per
employment agreements as follows:

                  1999 - Nine months of compensation expense           $288
</TABLE>

          These amounts represent compensation above historical levels.

         (g)      To record the acquisition of SpeedyClick, Corp. for cash of $3
million, 3,799,237 shares of common stock and 157,537 options to purchase shares
of common stock, representing non-cash consideration of approximately $57.4

         (h)      Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of share outstanding during the period
assuming that shares issued for acquisitions were outstanding for the entire
period. Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding giving effect to shares issued in
acquisitions as if they were outstanding for the entire period and to the
conversion of convertible preferred stock on an as-if converted basis from the
original issuance date.
