"Company"),  is an  Internet-based  provider of high quality  health and medical
information and applications to a broad base of consumers. Through the Company's

NOTE 2.         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of OnHealth Network Company have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim  financial  information  and  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q and
Regulation  S-X.  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  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  Operating  results for the nine months ended  September 30,
1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999. The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements
should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and the  notes
thereto  included in the OnHealth  Network  Company report to the Securities and

NOTE 3.         RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain  reclassifications  have been made for  consistent  financial  statement
presentation.

NOTE 4.         RESTRICTED CASH

On August 19,  1999,  the Company  pledged  $500,000 of cash for an  irrevocable
standby  letter  of credit  related  to the lease of new  office  space  that is
classified as restricted  cash on the balance  sheet.  The letter of credit will
expire on  August  20,  2000 and will only be drawn on in the event the  Company
fails  to  comply  with the  terms  and  conditions  as set  forth in the  lease
agreement.

NOTE 5.         LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS")  excludes any dilutive  effects of common stock
equivalents - options,  warrants and convertible securities - and is computed by
dividing the net loss available to common  shareholders by the  weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding  during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed
by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the  weighted-average
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalent shares outstanding.
Basic and diluted EPS excludes 204,460 outstanding restricted common shares.

The effects of common stock  equivalents  are excluded from the  computation for
the periods presented as their effects are anti-dilutive.

The components of basic and diluted loss per common share are as follows:

the Company's  common  stock,  at $6.6875 per share.  Proceeds,  net of offering
costs, totaled approximately $20.9 million.

NOTE 8.          ACQUISITION OF BABYDATA.COM INC.

On September 9, 1999,  the Company  acquired  all of the  outstanding  shares of
common stock of BabyData.com  Inc., a premier Web site for pregnant  couples and
those trying to conceive.

The aggregate  consideration for the acquisition was approximately $5.1 million,
which consisted of 681,534 shares of OnHealth common stock,  with a market value
of approximately $5.0 million and approximately $60,000 of acquisition costs. Of
the 681,534  shares issued in connection  with the purchase,  204,460 shares are
restricted pursuant to the employment agreement entered into by OnHealth and one
key employee of BabyData.  The  acquisition  of BabyData has been  accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting.

The  intangible  component  of the  consideration  for this  transaction,  which
includes   goodwill  and   purchased   intangibles,   will  be  amortized  on  a
straight-line basis over three years. The deferred  compensation  component will
be amortized on a straight-line basis over one year.

The  following  table  reflects  unaudited  consolidated  pro forma  results  of
operations of OnHealth and BabyData on the basis that the  acquisition had taken
place at the beginning of each period presented.  Such pro forma amounts are not
necessarily  indicative  of what the actual  consolidated  results of operations
might have been if the  acquisitions  had been effective at the beginning of the
respective  periods.  The pro forma  information  does not include any  one-time
charges for transaction-related costs relating to the acquisition of BabyData.

NOTE 10.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 1999, Jon Fisse, the Company's newly named Chief Operating Officer, left
the Company  before the Company and Mr. Fisse were able to agree on the terms of
his  employment  agreement.  In June  1999,  the  Company  filed  a  declaratory
judgement action in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington  seeking to declare that Mr. Fisse terminated his employment and that
the Company owes him no future  remuneration  or stock option  benefits.  On the
same day, Mr. Fisse filed a lawsuit in the United States  District Court for the
Southern District of New York, asserting that the Company violated his rights in
connection  with his separation from the Company,  seeking damages which,  among
other things,  include  severance  compensation and stock option  benefits.  The
action filed in Washington has been  transferred to New York.  Answers have been
filed in both cases and the parties are in the  discovery  stage of  litigation.
The  Company  believes  it  has  valid  defenses  against  Mr.  Fisse's  claims.
Nevertheless,  the outcome of the lawsuit may have a material  adverse affect on
the Company's financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 11.        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In July 1999,  the Company  entered into a lease for new office space located in
Manhattan,  New York. The new office space consists of 8,250 square feet costing
approximately $22,000 per month through November 30, 2004.

NOTE 12.        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with About.com, a leading
network of niche  vertical  sites,  whereby  beginning in the fourth  quarter of
1999, OnHealth will become the exclusive third party provider of health news and
information complementing About.com's existing Health and Fitness Channel. Under
the financial terms of the agreement, OnHealth will pay both guaranteed payments
and other fees, including 162,602 shares of common stock.

</TABLE>

Net revenue for the three month period  ended  September  30, 1999  increased by
$757,000, or 305%, to $1,005,000, from $248,000 for the same period in 1998. Net
revenue  for the nine  month  period  ended  September  30,  1999  increased  by
$1,054,000,  or 144%, to $1,787,000,  from $733,000 for the same period in 1998.
The increase in revenue is  primarily  due to  increased  online and  e-commerce
revenue  generated  by our  onhealth.com  Web  site,  which was  redesigned  and
relaunched in July 1998, partially offset by a reduction in contract development
and other and product sales and licensing  revenue.  An increase in user traffic
and the number of site  sponsorship and advertising  clients over the same three
and nine month  periods in the prior year  accounted  for the increase in online
and  e-commerce  revenue.  E-commerce  revenue  is the  result of new  contracts
entered into during 1999. The decrease in contract development revenue and other
and product sales and licensing revenue  generally  reflects the Company's shift
toward online efforts. The Company does not anticipate receiving any significant
revenue from  contract  development  and other or product sales and licensing in
the future.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue for the three and nine month periods
ended  September  30, 1999 was 91% and 90%,  respectively,  compared to negative
gross  margins of 121% and 76% for the same  periods in the previous  year.  The
improvement  in gross margin during 1999 is primarily due to the high margins of
online revenue in relation to the gross margins achieved in the first and second
quarters of 1998 for CD-ROM revenue.  The negative gross margins in 1998 are the
result of including certain editorial and design costs, related to the July 1998
onhealth.com  site  relaunch,  in cost of revenue in the third  quarter 1998, as
well as  CD-ROM  royalty  expenses,  CD-ROM  inventory  write-offs  and  royalty
expenses related to cable television licensing revenue. The editorial and design
costs included in cost of revenue in the third quarter of 1998 were reclassified
from operating  expenses.  In 1999, cost of revenue consists  primarily of costs
related  to  advertising  and  sponsorship  and  e-commerce  revenue  as well as
third-party royalties relating to content sales.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total  operating  expenses for the three month period ended  September  30, 1999
increased  $16,198,000,  or 726%, to  $18,430,000  from  $2,232,000 for the same
period  in 1998.  Total  operating  expenses  for the nine  month  period  ended
September  30,  1999  increased  $24,032,000,   or  372%,  to  $30,486,000  from
$6,454,000  for the same  period in 1998.  The  increase  was  primarily  due to
increased sales and marketing efforts related to the Company's  onhealth.com Web
site and increased product development, editorial and design expenses.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT,  EDITORIAL AND DESIGN. The increase in product development,
editorial  and design  expenses  during the three and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1999 of $1,429,000, or 261%, and $2,918,000 or 139%, respectively,
from the same  periods in 1998 was  primarily  due to an  increase in the use of
development and editorial outside contractors and increased  headcount.  Product
development, editorial and design expenses consist primarily of compensation and
related  costs  for  our  development,  editorial,  design  and  systems  staff,
consulting fees,  third-party content acquisition costs and Web site maintenance
and enhancement costs related to the Company's onhealth.com Web site.

SALES AND MARKETING.  The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 of $14,226,000,  or 1,125%,  and
$19,807,000, or 735%, respectively,  from the same periods in 1998 was primarily
the  result  of  increased   advertising   expenses  related  to  the  Company's
onhealth.com Web site as well as increased  headcount.  The broad-based consumer
targeted  advertising campaign commenced early in the third quarter of 1999. The
Company intends to continue its advertising  campaign  throughout 1999 and, as a
result,  the Company expects the  advertising  expenses in the fourth quarter of
1999 to increase significantly over the fourth quarter of 1998.

                                       9
<PAGE>

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  The increase in general and administrative expenses
for the three and nine month  periods ended  September 30, 1999 of $378,000,  or
90%, and  $1,142,000,  or 69%,  respectively,  from the same periods in 1998 was
primarily due to an increase in headcount,  legal fees and  settlements,  travel
and bad debt expense.  Year-to-date legal fees and settlements  include $273,000
for settlement and legal costs related to the final  settlement of the T. Randal
Productions lawsuit, which is in addition to the $677,000 which had been accrued
at December 31, 1998.

ACQUISITION  RELATED  COSTS,  INCLUDING  AMORTIZATION  OF GOODWILL AND PURCHASED
INTANGIBLES. These costs consist of amortization of goodwill and other purchased
intangibles  and certain  acquisition  related  charges related to the Company's
third quarter  acquisition of BabyData.com  Inc. The Company expects these costs
to increase in the fourth quarter of 1999 because the Company will record a full
quarter of amortization  expense.  It is possible that the Company will continue
to expand its  business  through  acquisitions,  which would  cause  acquisition
related costs to increase in future quarters.

STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION.  Stock-based compensation is principally comprised of
the portion of  acquisition  related  consideration  which is  contingent on the
continued  tenure of a key  employee,  which must be  recorded  as  compensation
expense  under  generally  accepted  accounting   principles.   The  stock-based
compensation  is  related  to  the  Company's   third  quarter   acquisition  of
BabyData.com  Inc. The Company expects the stock-based  compensation  expense to
increase in the fourth  quarter of 1999 because the Company will amortize a full
quarter of deferred compensation.

INTEREST INCOME

The  increase  in  interest  income for the three and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1999 of $19,000, or 63%, and $193,000, or 230%, respectively, from
the same periods in 1998 is due to the interest earned on cash received from the
financings completed during the first and third quarters, of 1999.

OTHER INCOME

Other  income for the nine month  period  ended  September  30, 1998  includes a
$562,000 gain related to the collection of a previously  reserved receivable and
$1,000 of other income,  net of a $281,000  expense related to cable  television
licensing royalties.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has not recorded a current or deferred  provision for Federal income
taxes for the periods presented due to the history of losses incurred.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1999,  the Company had positive  working  capital of $9,634,000
compared  with negative  working  capital of $1,158,000 at December 31, 1998. At
September 30, 1999,  the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of  $4,973,000.
During the first nine months of 1999,  total cash used by  operating  activities
was  $34,105,000,  which  was  principally  due to our net loss  for the  period
coupled with the increase in prepaid  marketing.  Investing  activities used net
cash of $736,000 for purchases of computer  equipment,  compared with  $300,000,
net of disposals,  during the first nine months of 1998 due to the growth in the
number of personnel.  Financing  activities provided cash of $37,695,000 through
the January  private  placement and September  public  offering of the Company's
common stock,  net of financing  costs,  $34,983,000;  the exercise of warrants,
$1,586,000; and the exercise of stock options, $1,126,000.

The Company  believes that its cash and cash  equivalents  will be sufficient to
fund its operations through December 31, 1999. The Company expects a significant
use of cash  during  the  balance  of 1999 and the year 2000 as it  markets  and
expands the onhealth.com Web site. Any material  unforeseen increase in expenses
or  reductions  in projected  revenues  will likely  require the Company to seek
additional debt or equity financing.  If additional  funding is not available to
the Company on economically  reasonable terms the Company may need to reduce its
expenditures  or curtail  certain  operations.  There can be no  assurance  that
additional  capital,  on a debt or equity basis, will be found, or if found that
it will be on economically reasonable terms.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000  issue is the  potential  for system and  processing  failures  of
date-related data and the result of computer-controlled systems using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. For example,  computer  programs
that have  time-sensitive  software may  recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900  rather  than the year  2000.  This  could  result  in  system  failure  or
miscalculations  causing  disruptions  of  operations,  including,  among  other
things, a temporary inability to process  transactions,  send invoices or engage
in similar normal business activities.

We could be affected by Year 2000 issues  related to  non-compliant  information
technology ("IT") systems or non-IT systems that we operate or that are operated
by third parties. We have substantially completed assessment of our internal and
external  (third-party)  IT  systems  and non-IT  systems.  At this point in our
assessment,  we are not currently  aware of any Year 2000  problems  relating to
systems we  operate  or that are  operated  by third  parties  that would have a
material effect on our business,  results of operations or financial  condition,
without  taking into  account our efforts to avoid such  problems.  Based on our

                                       10
<PAGE>

assessment to date, we do not anticipate that costs  associated with remediating
our  non-compliant  IT systems or non-IT  systems to exceed  $100,000,  although
there  can be no  assurance  to such  effect,  and any such  cost will be funded
through  operating  cash flows.  To date the Company has incurred no significant
costs related to the assessment of, and preliminary  efforts in connection with,
its Year 2000 project and the development of a remediation plan. Management does
not currently expect the Company's  financial condition or results of operations
will be materially  adversely  affected by the Year 2000 issue.  There can be no
guarantee  that the systems of other  companies on which the  Company's  systems
rely will be timely converted,  or that a failure to convert by another company,
or a conversion that is incompatible with the Company's systems,  would not have
a material adverse effect on the Company.


To  the  extent  that  our  assessment  is  finalized  without  identifying  any
additional material  non-compliant IT systems we operate or that are operated by
third  parties,  the most  reasonably  likely worst case Year 2000 scenario is a
systemic failure beyond our control,  such as a prolonged  telecommunications or
electrical failure. Such a failure could prevent us from operating our business,
prevent users from accessing our Web site, or change the behavior of advertising
customers  or  persons  accessing  our Web site.  We  believe  that the  primary
business risks, in the event of such failure,  would include, but not be limited
to, lost advertising  revenues,  increased operating costs, loss of customers or
persons  accessing our Web site, or other business  interruptions  of a material
nature,  as well as claims  of  mismanagement,  misrepresentation,  or breach of
contract,  any of which could have a material  adverse  effect on our  business,
results of operations and financial condition.  We have not made any contingency
plans to address such risks.

In June 1999, Jon Fisse, the Company's newly named Chief Operating Officer, left
the Company  before the Company and Mr. Fisse were able to agree on the terms of
his  employment  agreement.  In June  1999,  the  Company  filed  a  declaratory
judgement action in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington  seeking to declare that Mr. Fisse terminated his employment and that
the Company owes him no future  remuneration  or stock option  benefits.  On the
same day, Mr. Fisse filed a lawsuit in the United States  District Court for the
Southern District of New York, asserting that the Company violated his rights in
connection  with his separation from the Company,  seeking damages which,  among
other things,  include  severance  compensation and stock option  benefits.  The
action filed in Washington has been  transferred to New York.  Answers have been
filed in both cases and the parties are in the  discovery  stage of  litigation.
The  Company  believes  it  has  valid  defenses  against  Mr.  Fisse's  claims.
Nevertheless,  the outcome of the lawsuit may have a material  adverse affect on
the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In October 1999, the Company  received a subpoena duces tecum by the Division of
Enforcement,  Pacific Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
("SEC") requesting certain documents from the Company pursuant to a formal order
of private  investigation  in connection  with possible  federal  securities law
violations.  The Company intends to cooperate fully with the request.  As stated
by the SEC in the letter accompanying the subpoena, "[t]he investigation and the
subpoena do not mean that we have  concluded  that you or anyone else has broken
the law. Also, the  investigation  does not mean that we have a negative opinion
of any  person,  entity  or  security".  Because  the  proceedings  are in their
preliminary  stages, the Company is unable to establish the likelihood or impact
of an unfavorable outcome.  However, the Company does not currently believe that
an  unfavorable  outcome would have a material  adverse  impact on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or historical financial statements.
