PART I
Item 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Internet Corporation of America ("Company") is filing this Form 10-SB on a
voluntary basis in order to make the company's financial information equally
available to all parties, including potential investors, and to meet certain
listing requirements for publicly traded securities.
History of the Company
The Company was incorporated on August 23, 1995 under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The Company has never had any operations or assets since inception. At
one time, the Company had preliminary plans to become an Internet Service
Provider ("ISP"), but said plans never materialized due to lack of funding.
Industry Overview and Opportunity
Currently, the Company is seeking a favorable business opportunity to acquire.
The Company has not entered into any agreement, nor does it have any commitment
or understanding to enter into or become engaged in a transaction as of the date
of this filing. The Company continues to investigate, review, and evaluate
business opportunities as they become available and will seek to acquire or
become engaged in business opportunities at such time as specific opportunities
warrant. The Company cannot now predict what type of business it may enter into
or acquire. It is emphasized that the business objectives discussed herein are
extremely general and are not intended to be restrictive on the discretion of
the Company's management.
Market Overview
It is anticipated that business opportunities will be identified for the Company
through its officers and directors and through professional advisors, including
members of the financial and legal community.
In seeking a business venture, the decision of management will not be controlled
by an attempt to take advantage of any anticipated or perceived appeal of a
specific industry, but will be based on the business objective of seeking
long-term capital appreciation in the real value of the Company.
Competition
The Company will be involved in intense competition with other business
entities, many of which will have a competitive edge over the Company by virtue
of their stronger financial resources and prior experience in business. There is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining a suitable
business opportunity.
Environmental Matters
The Company is not aware of any environmental liability relating to its
operations that would have a material adverse effect on the Company, its
business, assets or results of operations.
Inflation
Inflation has not historically been a material effect on the Company's
operations and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or its
operations in the future.
<PAGE>
Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Internet Corporation of America
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Internet Corporation of
America (a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halter Capital
Corporation) as of June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related
statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and for each of the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide 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 Internet Corporation of America
as of June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and each of
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, in conformity with

INTERNET CORPORATION OF AMERICA
(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halter Capital Corporation)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - Organization and Description of Business
Internet Corporation of America (Company) was incorporated on August 23, 1995
under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Halter
Capital Corporation.
The Company has never had any operations or assets since inception. The current
business purpose of the Company is to seek out and obtain a merger, acquisition
or outright sale transaction whereby the Company's stockholders will benefit.
The Company is not engaged in any negotiations and has not undertaken any steps
to initiate the search for a merger or acquisition candidate.
The Company is fully dependent upon its current management and/or significant
stockholders to provide sufficient working capital to preserve the integrity of
the corporate entity during this phase. It is the intent of management and
significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital necessary to
support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.
The Company has a year end of December 31 and follows the accrual method of
accounting.
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.
NOTE B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Cash and cash equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in
book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be
cash and cash equivalents.
2. Income taxes
------------
The Company provides deferred income taxes, where material, based on the
asset and liability method under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". At December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax
liability accounts, consisting solely of temporary differences in
accumulated depreciation, were not material to the financial statements and
no valuation allowance was provided against deferred tax assets.
The Company files its income tax returns as a component of its parent
company's consolidated tax return. Accordingly, all net operating losses
are offset against the tax liabilities of the Company's parent. No net
operating loss carryforwards exist as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

NOTE B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
3. Loss per share
--------------
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants). Common
stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of
the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock
method. The calculation of fully diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes
the dilutive effect of the exercise of outstanding options and warrants at
either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of
issuance, whichever is later. As of June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and
1997, the Company has no warrants and/or options issued and outstanding.
NOTE C - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of
these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current
market conditions.
NOTE D - Related Party Transactions
As of June 30, 1999, the Company had advanced funds totaling approximately $40
to Halter Capital Corporation, the Company's parent. The advances are due upon
demand and are non-interest bearing.

method. The calculation of fully diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes
the dilutive effect of the exercise of outstanding options and warrants at
either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of
issuance, whichever is later. As of September 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Company has no warrants and/or options issued and outstanding.
NOTE C - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of
these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current
market conditions.
NOTE D - Related Party Transactions
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had advanced funds totaling approximately
$40 to Halter Capital Corporation, the Company's parent. The advances are due
upon demand and are non-interest bearing.
