NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND THE COMPANY

[1]     Basis of presentation:

        The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
        prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
        interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB
        and Article 3 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of
        the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
        principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
        management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
        considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating
        results for the three and nine-month period ended April 30, 2000 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
        ending July 31, 2000.

        The balance sheet at July 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
        consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all
        the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
        complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the
        audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
        Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July
        31, 1999.

[2]     The Company:

        Internet Commerce Corporation ("ICC", or the "Company") was incorporated
        on November 18, 1991 in the State of Delaware.

        Our ICC.NET service, also known as CommerceSense(R), uses the Internet
        and our proprietary technology to deliver our customers' documents and
        data files to members of their trading communities, many of which may
        have incompatible systems, by translating the documents and data files
        into any format required by the receiver. We use ICC.NET to provide
        traditional value added network services, Electronic Data Interchange
        ("EDI") for web-based retailers, EDI to fax service and large-scale
        electronic document management and delivery.

 [3]    Reclassification:

        The Company has revised the April 30, 1999 statement of operations and
        statement of cash flows from those previously reported to conform to
        current year presentation.


NOTE B - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        In April 2000, ICC recognized revenues of $15,000 from Cable & Wireless
        ("C&W") for consulting services related to the co-branding of our
        ICC.NET service. C&W has co-branded our service under the name Internet
        Data Exchange (IDE). At April 30, 2000 accounts receivable from C&W
        totaled $15,000.


NOTE C - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On June 9, 2000, ICC and bTrade.com mutually terminated a letter of
        intent to merge the two companies.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

The response to this item is submitted in a separate section of this Quarterly
Report.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains a number of "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Specifically, all statements other
than statements of historical facts included in this Report regarding our
financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for
future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made
by and information currently available to management. When used in this Report,
the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "may," "will,"
"continue" and "intend," and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate
to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of
management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
"cautionary statements" reflect our current view with respect to future events
and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various
factors including, without limitation, those listed below the heading "Overview"
and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act.

Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you
that our expectations will prove to be correct. Based upon changing conditions,
should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those described in this Report as anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected or intended.

Overview

We were founded as Infosafe Systems, Inc. in November 1991 and from 1991 to 1997
we conducted limited operations and developed products that we were unable to
exploit commercially and consequently discontinued. In 1998, we shifted our
business emphasis to focus exclusively on the development and marketing of our
service. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999, we became an operating
company and were no longer considered a development stage company. As a result,
we have only a limited operating history and there is no historical information
on which to evaluate our business and prospects.

We developed our ICC.NET service as an alternative to the electronic data
interchange, or EDI, services that are currently provided by traditional value
added networks, also known as VANs, that offer their services primarily using
dedicated telecommunications links. Our ICC.NET service translates and transmits
electronic documents, such as purchase orders, requests for proposals and
receipts, as well as images and other data over the Internet.

We are currently focusing on our ICC.NET service, and as a result, our revenue
for the foreseeable future is almost entirely dependent on the success of this
service, including, but not limited to, the number of customers who subscribe to
our service and the volume (in kilocharacters) of the data, documents or other
information they send or retrieve utilizing our service. As of April 30, 2000 we
had approximately 240 customers and we had approximately 260 customers at the
end of May 2000. We expect our cost of services and operating expenses to
increase significantly, especially in the areas of marketing, customer
installation and customer service. We will need to generate significant revenue
to achieve and maintain profitability. If we do not increase our revenue
significantly, we will continue to be unprofitable.

We intend to continue to market as a one-stop electronic document and data
delivery service to the largest companies in the United States and abroad that
use EDI to communicate with their vendors. We

                                       7

<PAGE>

believe that the cost and ease of use of our ICC.NET service will allow these
companies to request or encourage their smaller trading partners to conduct
electronic commerce using ICC.NET.


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended April 30, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended April 30,
1999.

Our revenue was $426,000 and $20,000, respectively, in the three months ended
April 30, 2000 (the "2000 Quarter") and April 30, 1999 (the "1999 Quarter").
Revenues were generated through services related to our ICC.NET service and
consisted primarily of transaction fees, mailbox fees and consulting services.

Cost of services increased to $822,000 in the 2000 Quarter from $337,000 in the
1999 Quarter. The increase is primarily due to direct cost components. In the
2000 Quarter costs allocated from product development and enhancements increased
$205,000 primarily as a result of costs related to technical and sales support.
Service costs related to an agreement with Sector, Inc. ("Sector") increased
$30,000 in the 2000 Quarter. Sector is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIAC
(Securities Industry Automation Corporation) which is a joint subsidiary of the
New York and American Stock Exchanges. Sector provides us with a computer room
facility in the SIAC Data Center. This facility is used by us to house our
servers and communications infrastructure. Salaries and related employee
benefits also increased $151,000 in the 2000 Quarter. Personnel related to cost
of services increased to 19 at the end of the 2000 Quarter from six at the end
of the 1999 Quarter.

Product development and enhancement costs related to the maintenance and
improvement of our ICC.Net service increased to $150,000 in the 2000 Quarter
from $91,000 in the 1999 Quarter. We developed and added new features to our
service in the 2000 Quarter, including enhancements to reports and the creation
of WebForms which allows company-specific browser forms, such as purchase
orders, to be viewed by suppliers. The increase was primarily due to salaries
and related costs. Personnel related to product development and enhancements
increased to 12 at the end of the 2000 Quarter from six at the end of the 1999
Quarter.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $1,095,000 in the 2000 Quarter from
$202,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The increase reflects spending from our expanded
selling and marketing efforts. These expenses primarily consisted of salaries
and related costs, travel, advertising and participation in trade shows.
Personnel related to selling and marketing increased to 22 at the end of the
2000 Quarter from six at the end of the 1999 Quarter.

General and administrative costs increased to $1,428,000 in the 2000 Quarter
from $636,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The increase is attributable to an increase
in recruitment fees, salaries and related employee benefits of $400,000 and an
increase in professional fees of $52,000. The remaining increase is generally
due to the overall expansion of our operations. Personnel related to general and
administrative functions increased to 16 at the end of the 2000 Quarter from
nine at the end of the 1999 Quarter. The remaining increase is generally due to
the overall expansion of our operations.

There were no non-cash charges in connection with compensation and services in
the 2000 Quarter. Non-cash charges in connection with compensation and services
were $74,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The non-cash charges in the 1999 Quarter
consisted of the amortized costs of the fair value of warrants issued to a
consultant in a prior period for services which had an amortized cost in the
1999 Quarter of $46,000, and we also amortized $28,000 of the fair market value
of stock that was issued to an officer for compensation in a prior period.

                                       8

<PAGE>

We had income from investments of $279,000 in the 2000 Quarter and $15,000 in
the 1999 Quarter. The increase is due to higher average cash and marketable
securities balances in the 2000 Quarter compared to the 1999 Quarter.

Interest expense decreased to $9,000 in the 2000 Quarter from $1,272,000 in the
1999 Quarter. The decrease was largely attributable to the amortization of debt
discount and interest on our bridge notes in the 1999 Quarter. Debt discount and
interest on bridge notes amounted to $1,051,000 and $57,000, respectively, in
the 1999 Quarter. There was no debt discount or interest on bridge notes in the
2000 Quarter since the bridge notes were converted into series A preferred stock
in April 1999.

The net loss in the 2000 Quarter was $2,799,000 or $0.58 per share compared to
$2,577,000 or $1.72 per share in the 1999 Quarter. After excluding non-cash
charges for compensation and services expense and debt discount included in
interest expense, the net loss was $2,799,000 or $0.58 per share in the 2000
Quarter compared to $1,078,000 or $0.72 in the 1999 Quarter. The decrease in
loss per share despite the increase in losses for the 2000 Quarter was the
result of an increased number of shares outstanding due to the conversion of our
series A preferred stock into class A common stock and the exercise of warrants
and options.


Nine Months Ended April 30, 2000 Compared with Nine Months Ended April 30, 1999.

Our revenue was $769,000 and $46,000, respectively, in the nine months ended
April 30, 2000 (the "2000 Nine Months") and April 30, 1999 (the "1999 Nine
Months"). Revenues were generated through services related to our ICC.NET
service and consisted primarily of transaction fees, mailbox fees and consulting
services.

Cost of services increased to $1,584,000 in the 2000 Nine Months from $423,000
in the 1999 Nine Months. The increase is primarily due to direct cost
components. In the 2000 Nine months costs allocated from product development and
enhancements increased $597,000 primarily as a result of costs related to
technical and sales support. Service costs related to an agreement with Sector,
Inc. ("Sector") increased $83,000 in the 2000 Nine Months. Sector is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SIAC (Securities Industry Automation Corporation)
which is a joint subsidiary of the New York and American Stock Exchanges. Sector
provides us with a computer room facility in the SIAC Data Center. This facility
is used by us to house our servers and communications infrastructure. Salaries
and related employee benefits also increased $419,000 in the 2000 Nine Months.
Personnel related to cost of services increased to 19 at the end of the 2000
Nine months from six at the end of the 1999 Nine months.

Product development and enhancement costs related to the maintenance and
improvement of our ICC.Net service increased to $507,000 in the 2000 Nine Months
from $282,000 in the 1999 Nine Months. We developed and added new features to
our service in the 2000 Nine Months including enhancements to reports and
facsimile services, advanced on-network document sorting and searching
capabilities and an improved Help subsystem. We released ICC.NET Version 2.3
with these upgraded features and functions on December 16, 1999. We also added
powerful new Extended Markup Language ("XML") based capabilities to our Internet
electronic commerce solutions. This unique new feature utilizes XML to
automatically pre-populate response documents. The increase was primarily due to
salaries and related costs. Personnel related to product development and
enhancements increased to 12 at the end of the 2000 Nine Months from six at the
end of the 1999 Nine Months.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $2,267,000 in the 2000 Nine Months
from $477,000 in the 1999 Nine Months. The increase reflects spending from our
expanded selling and marketing efforts. These expenses primarily consisted of
salaries and related costs, advertising and participation in trade shows.
Personnel related to selling and marketing increased to 22 at the end of the
2000 Nine Months from six at the end of the 1999 Nine Months.

General and administrative costs increased to $3,291,000 in the 2000 Nine Months
from $1,815,000 in the 1999 Nine Months. The increase is attributable to an
increase in recruitment fees, salaries and related employee benefits of $601,000
and an increase in professional fees of $399,000. Personnel related to general
and administrative functions increased to 16 at the end of the 2000 Nine Months
from nine at the end of the 1999 Nine Months. The remaining increase is
generally due to the overall expansion of our operations.

Non-cash charges in connection with compensation and services increased to
$3,311,000 in the 2000 Nine Months from $809,000 in the 1999 Nine Months. The
non-cash charges in the 2000 Nine Months related to the employee stock options
granted to certain officers and management of ICC, which vested upon our class A
common stock reaching a certain market price. Employee stock options that vest
in this manner require a charge to earnings for the difference between the fair
value of the stock and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options
vested on the date that the vesting condition is met. In the 1999 Nine Months we
issued warrants to consultants for services and commissions which had an
amortized cost in the 1999 Nine Months of $725,000 and we also amortized $84,000
of the cost of stock that was issued to an officer for compensation in a prior
period.

We had income from investments of $419,000 in the 2000 Nine Months and $21,000
in the 1999 Nine Months. The increase is due to higher average cash and
marketable securities balances in the 2000 Nine Months compared to the 1999 Nine
Months.

Interest expense decreased to $46,000 in the 2000 Nine Months from $1,953,000 in
the 1999 Nine Months. The decrease was largely attributable to the amortization
of debt discount and interest on our bridge notes and the amortization of debt
issue costs in the 1999 Nine Months. In the 1999 Nine Months, debt discount and
interest on the bridge notes amounted to $1,621,000 and $111,000, respectively,
and the amortization of debt issue costs amounted to 188,000. There was no debt
discount or interest on the bridge notes and no debt issue cost amortization in
the 2000 Nine Months. The bridge notes were converted into series A preferred
stock in April 1999.

The net loss in the 2000 Nine Months was $9,818,000 or $2.68 per share compared
to $5,691,000 or $4.01 per share in the 1999 Nine Months. After excluding
non-cash charges for compensation and services expense and debt discount
included in interest expense, the net loss in the 2000 Nine Months was
$6,507,000 or $1.77 per share compared to $3,073,000 or $2.17 per share in the
1999 Nine Months. The decrease in loss per share despite the increase in losses
for the 2000 Nine Months was the result of an increased number of shares
outstanding due to the conversion of our series A preferred stock into class A
common stock and the exercise of warrants and options.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 2000 we had working capital of $21,029,000.

We have financed our operations through private placements during fiscal 1994,
our initial public offering during fiscal 1995 (the "IPO"), a private placement
in March 1997, a private placement of bridge note units during fiscal 1998 and
1999, a private placement of series A preferred stock in April 1999 and private
placements of our class A common stock, series C preferred stock and warrants in
November 1999. We anticipate losses through fiscal 2000, as we continue to
expand commercial markets for our ICC.NET service.

As a result of operating losses, cash used in operating activities amounted to
$6,146,000 in the 2000 Nine Months and $2,820,000 in the 1999 Nine Months. Cash
used for purchase of equipment amounted to $222,000 in the 2000 Nine Months and
$0 in the 1999 Nine Months.

Our principal sources of liquidity at April 30, 2000 consisted of cash and cash
equivalents of $21,921,000.

We have a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $30 million to offset
future taxable income for federal tax purposes. The utilization of the loss
carryforward to reduce any such future income taxes will depend on our ability
to generate sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net
operating loss carryforwards. The carryforward expires from 2007 to 2020. The
Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations contain provisions which limit
the use of available net operating loss carryforwards in any given year should
significant changes (greater than 50%) in ownership interests occur. Due to the
initial public offering, the net operating loss carryover of approximately $1.9
million incurred prior to the initial public offering will be subject to an
annual limitation of approximately $400,000 until that portion of the net
operating loss is utilized or expires. Also, due to the private placement in
1997, the net operating loss carryover of approximately $6.3 million incurred
prior to this private placement will be subject to an annual limitation of
approximately $800,000 until that portion of the net operating loss is utilized
or expires. Also, due to the private placement of series A preferred stock in
1999, the net operating loss carryover of approximately $11.5 million incurred
prior to the private placement will be subject to an annual limitation of
approximately $1 million until that portion of the net operating loss is
utilized or expires.
