                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by DemandStar.com,
Inc. (the "Company" or "DemandStar"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the notes thereto, included
in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration
No. 333-93445).

The unaudited financial statements included herein include normal recurring
adjustments and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The interim
results are not indicative of results for a full year.

Information On Demand, Inc. (the "Predecessor") was formed as a Florida
corporation in June 1997 and commenced operations in January 1998. The
Predecessor was an S corporation. On June 1, 1999, H.T.E., Inc. ("HTE"), formed
a wholly-owned subsidiary, HTE-IOD, Inc., by purchasing 1,250,000 shares for
$800,000 and advancing $200,000 of cash. On June 18, 1999, HTE-IOD, Inc.
purchased the business and certain net assets of the Predecessor. On August 23,
1999, HTE-IOD, Inc. changed its name to Information On Demand, Inc. and on
December 21, 1999, its name was changed to DemandStar.com, Inc. The registration
statement on Form S-1 filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") in connection with the Company's public rights offering (File No.
333-93445), as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on March 27, 2000 and
expired on May 1, 2000. The offering period for the rights offering commenced on
March 27, 2000 and expired on May 1, 2000, with the offering closing May 5,
2000. Each right was exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. Upon closing, rights to purchase an aggregate of
4,998,050 registered shares of common stock and an aggregate of 1,376,030
restricted shares of common stock were exercised for an aggregate purchase price
of $6,374,080. After deducting reasonable estimated total expenses incurred in
connection with the offering of $624,419, the Company's net proceeds from the
offering were $5,749,661.

The Company is a provider of Internet based procurement systems for business to
government eCommerce over the Internet. The Company's electronic marketplace
enables governmental agencies to purchase goods and services more efficiently
and makes it easier for commercial vendors to do business with government
agencies. Membership in the Company's Internet-based procurement network is
provided free to governmental agencies that enter into an agreement to
distribute all of their formal bids and request for proposals through the
Internet site. Businesses pay an annual subscription fee to be registered
vendors in the Company's procurement network.

1.  LOSS PER SHARE

The Company's basic and diluted net loss per share are found in the accompanying
statement of operations. Basic and diluted per share information are the same as
the Company generated a net loss for the period. Options to purchase
approximately 3,381,700 shares were outstanding as of September 30, 2000, but
were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because they are
antidilutive. Loss per share information for the Predecessor has not been
presented as this information is not meaningful given the Predecessor's capital
structure.

2.  DUE TO HTE

Due to HTE represents amounts owed to HTE in excess of the loan agreement
discussed below. This amount results from timing of payments. HTE charged the
Company a management fee for finance, accounting, management and basic
processing services based on a percentage of total expenses for the first
quarter and actual hours incurred thereafter. The total of these charges was
approximately $74,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, which are
included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of
operations of the Company. The amount owed to HTE as of September 30, 2000 is
$10,401.

3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Predecessor used office space owned by the shareholder for which rent of
approximately $4,200 was paid for the period January 1, 1999 to June 17, 1999.
This rent charge is included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying statement of operations of the Predecessor.

4.  NOTE PAYABLE

During 1999 and 2000, the Company borrowed money from HTE to acquire the
business and certain net assets of the Predecessor and to fund its operations.
On October 31, 1999, the Company issued an unsecured note in the principal
amount of $1,750,000 in favor of HTE (the "Loan"). As of September 30, 2000,
borrowings under the Loan totaled $1,750,000, with no available balance.
Interest at a rate of eight percent, which totaled approximately $107,500, was
charged by HTE during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, pursuant to the
terms of the Loan. Approximately $134,800 related to accrued interest is
included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance
sheet as of September 30, 2000. Principal and interest due under the Loan are
payable in annual installments on each anniversary of the note, with the entire
remaining outstanding balance due upon the earlier of the maturity date of the
Loan or the date of the effectiveness of a secondary public offering of the
Company's common stock yielding gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000. On
October 31, 2000, the repayment terms of the unsecured note were modified, as
more fully described in the subsequent events disclosure in Note 6.

In accordance with the modification agreement scheduled principal reductions of
the Loan will be as follows as of September 30, 2000:

                 OCTOBER 31,                      AMOUNT
                 -----------                   -----------
                     2001                      $   450,000
                     2002                          350,000
                     2003                          450,000
                     2004                          500,000
                                               -----------
                                               $ 1,750,000
                                               ===========

5.  INCOME TAXES

The Predecessor elected to be taxed as an S corporation for both federal and
state income tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, the losses related to periods
presented for the Predecessor are includable in the personal income tax returns
of the Predecessor's shareholder. The operating results of the Company were
included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of HTE prior
to May 1, 2000. The Company's income tax provision is computed as if it were
filing separate federal and state tax returns. The Company accounts for income
taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax
returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers
all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or
rates. Changes in tax laws or rates will be recognized in the future years in
which they occur.

Due to uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to realize the benefits of
its deferred tax assets through future operations, a valuation allowance has
been established that completely offsets the net operating loss as of September
30, 2000.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 31, 2000, a modification agreement to the $1,750,000 unsecured note
in favor of HTE (the "Loan") was entered into between the Company and HTE.
Effective November 1, 2000, the modified payment terms include (i) an increase
in the interest rate from eight percent to ten percent, (ii) the deferral of the
October 31, 2000 payment of principal and interest to October 31, 2001 and (iii)
a one -time modification fee of $10,000 payable January 15, 2001. In exchange
for the modifications agreed to by HTE, in the event that, prior to October 31,
2001, the Company issues a new equity security in a third- party transaction in
which equity capital in excess of $3,000,000 is raised, the Company agrees to
issue HTE within thirty days of third-party financing, in full and complete
satisfaction of the October 31, 2000 note payment, that amount of such new
equity security which is equivalent in " fair market value" to the amounts due
on the October 31, 2000 note payment, taking into account the interest increase
provided for in the modification agreement. For purposes thereof, "fair market
value" shall mean the face value of such new security issued in the third party
financing. In the event the Company does not issue a new equity security as a
result of third party financing prior to October 31, 2001, the deferred note
payment plus all additional accrued interest due as a result of the deferral
shall be paid in cash on October 31, 2001, in addition to the normal scheduled
principal and interest payment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Prior to the purchase of the Predecessor by DemandStar in June 1999, the
operations were funded primarily through cash generated from operations and
capital contributed from the sole shareholder of the Predecessor.

In conjunction with the purchase of the Predecessor, HTE purchased 1,250,000
shares of DemandStar's common stock for $800,000. In the first quarter of 2000,
HTE purchased 750,000 shares of Series A preferred stock for $1,500,000. In
addition to the stock




                                       8
<PAGE>   9

purchases, HTE also loaned DemandStar $200,000 to purchase the business and
specified net assets of the Predecessor and $1,550,000 to fund operations, the
terms of which loan were evidenced by a five-year term promissory note payable
to HTE and dated October 31, 1999. As of September 30, 2000, the balance under
the note was $1,750,000.

With completion of the Company's rights offering of its common stock, which
provided gross proceeds of $6,374,080, the Company believes that it has
sufficient funds to continue operations for the remainder of the year 2000.

The Company is engaged in negotiations with a number of parties regarding
transactions that, if completed, would provide significant amounts of
additional capital to the Company. If the Company is not successful in
obtaining additional capital, the Company will be rquired to significantly
reduce or curtail its operations.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $5,095,476 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, compared to net cash provided by operating activities
of $283,270 for the period June 1, 1999 to September 30, 1999. The increase in
net cash used in the 2000 period primarily resulted from the increased operating
expenses and net loss.

Net cash used in investing activities, comprised of cash paid for acquisition
and capital expenditures, totaled $825,838 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and $1,079,103 for the period June 1, 1999 to September 30, 1999. The
net cash used in the 2000 period resulted from purchases of equipment needed to
expand the infrastructure and support the Company's growth.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $7,692,776 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and $800,000 for the period June 1, 1999 to September
30, 1999. The cash provided during 2000 reflects the sale of common stock
through the Company's rights offering, the sale of Series A preferred stock to
HTE and amounts borrowed under the Loan with HTE.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Prior to January 1, 2000, there was considerable concern regarding the ability
of computers to adequately recognize 21st century dates from 20th century dates
due to the two-digit date fields used by many systems. Most reports today,
however, are that computer systems and software programs are functioning
normally and the compliance and remediation work accomplished during the years
leading up to 2000 was effective to prevent any problems. The Company is a
provider of Internet-based procurement systems for governmental agencies. As of
the date of this Report, the Company has not experienced any significant
disruption in its services as a result of any failure of any of its systems to
function properly as of January 1, 2000 or February 29, 2000. The Company also
has not experienced any Year 2000 failures related to any of its vendors,
suppliers or government clients.

Based on present trends, the Company does not expect to incur any significant
costs in 2000 related to Year 2000 activities. Year 2000 compliance has many
elements and potential consequences, some of which may not be foreseeable or may
be realized in future periods. In addition, unforeseen circumstances may arise,
and we may not, in the future, adequately identify equipment or systems that are
not Year 2000 compliant.
