              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless
otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for the quarter and six
months ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that will be realized for a full year. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1999.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.

NOTE 2 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
- ----------------------------

During the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company received
approximately $1,760,000 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 625,156
shares of the Company's common stock and approximately $481,000 from the
exercise of options to purchase 291,664 shares of the Company's common stock.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS
- --------------------

On October 28, 1999, the Company sold its 50% interest in an LLC to Finet.com,
Inc. (Finet) for 600,000 common shares. The Company recorded its investment
based on Finet's quoted market price less a discount since the shares are
unregistered. The investment in the LLC had been accounted for as an offset to
stockholders' equity as the primary asset of the LLC was HomeSeekers common
stock. This offset was eliminated and equity increased by the sale of the LLC.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

On December 31, 1999, the Company held a total of $1,509,000 of
available-for-sale securities consisting of 800,000 common shares of WebQuest
International, Incorporated presented as investments, related party stock, and
600,000 common shares of Finet included in other investments. The fair market
value of the investments at December 31, 1999, based on market quotations or
recent private placements is reflected in the financial statements with the
resulting unrealized decrease in value of $234,000 recorded as a separate
component of other comprehensive loss. The Company's investment in 2,000,000
common shares of BuySellBid.com, Inc. is included in other investments and
accounted for as an investment since there is not a public market for this
stock.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS
- ---------------------

Terradatum

On September 30, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of Terradatum, a developer,
marketer, and licensor of Internet based multiple listing service systems.
Consideration consisted of 640,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued
at approximately $7,960,000 and $200,000 in cash. The Company also incurred
$53,000 of related professional fees. The acquisition agreement calls for
additional cash consideration if the market price of the Company's common stock
is below certain levels prior to the first anniversary of the closing date. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based
upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. A preliminary
allocation of the purchase price resulted in approximately $6,466,000 of
goodwill, which is being amortized over 5 years. The fair values of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed were approximately $8,405,000 and $191,000,
respectively.

IMCO

On September 30, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of IMCO, a provider
of electronic publishing and software development for the real estate listing
management industry. The purchase price consisted of 81,090 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $1,000,000. The merger agreement provides for
additional consideration payable in the Company's common stock depending on the
closing prices of the Company's common stock on specified days preceding the
first and second anniversaries of the closing date. The sellers may also receive
additional common shares if they resell their shares below the initial average
closing price during established periods. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. A preliminary allocation of the
purchase price resulted in no goodwill and approximately $918,000 of computer
software, which is being amortized over 3 years. The fair values of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed were approximately $1,221,000 and $221,000,
respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 increased 154% to $2,712,000
from $1,068,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Revenues for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 increased 189% from $1,442,000 for the prior
period to $4,155,000. The increases of $1,644,000 and $2,713,000, respectively,
are attributable to increased sales of web sites and web pages to real estate
agents as the Company significantly expanded its sales efforts, revenues from
the Holloway Publications, Inc., IMCO and Terradatum acquisitions, and increased
prospect advertising revenues from the HomeSeekers.com site and Realty 2000
product.

Costs of revenues increased from $133,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1998
to $942,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 in support of the higher
sales levels. The gross profit percentage declined from 88% in the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 to 66% in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 primarily due to
the inclusion of the lower margin services of the Holloway Publications business
and the IMCO and Terradatum acquisitions, which have lower gross margin
percentages. Costs of revenues increased to $1,311,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 from $217,000 in the comparable period of the prior year,
while the gross profit percentage decreased from 85% in 1998 to 69% in 1999. The
changes result from the same items discussed for the quarter to quarter
comparison.

Operating expenses increased 350% from $1,532,000 in the quarter ended December
31, 1998 to $6,889,000 in the comparable quarter in 1999. For the six months,
operating expenses increased 286% from $2,779,000 in 1998 to $10,714,000 in
1999. The Company has increased its expenditures on sales and marketing
activities associated with the sale of web sites, web pages, the new
Internet-based Multiple Listing Service software and the recently launched
REInnovators program for real estate brokers. Brand marketing has been increased
through advertising, the BuySellBid agreement, and the distribution of free
Internet Marketing Kits to real estate professionals. In addition,
administrative costs are higher to support this increased activity, and the
three acquisitions have been included in 1999.

Interest income increased to $71,000 for the quarter and $185,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 through the investment of cash from the Company's
private placements of common stock during the first half of calendar year 1999.

The Company's net loss increased from $587,000 in the quarter ended December 31,
1998 to $4,983,000 in the comparable period of 1999 and from $1,550,000 during
the six months ended December 31, 1998 to $7,621,000 during the six months in
the current


                                       14
<PAGE>

fiscal year due to the dollar growth in operating expenses outpacing the dollar
revenue growth.

Depreciation and amortization totaled $1,455,000 during the quarter ended
December 31, 1999, which equaled $.09 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1999 the Company's cash balance was $5,106,000, a decrease of
$5,511,000 from June 30, 1999. The decrease results primarily from negative cash
flows from operations and the cash portion of the payment to BuySellBid in
connection with the transactions described in Note 5, partially offset by
proceeds from stock warrant and option exercises. The Company also holds
$1,509,000 of available-for-sale securities. The Company currently anticipates
that it will require additional cash to fund its operations and investment plans
during fiscal 2000. In the past the Company has funded its cash flow deficit
through the issuance of equity securities and warrants to purchase equity
securities. The Company plans to fund its upcoming liquidity requirements in a
similar manner.

The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception.
Operations have been funded primarily through cash provided by sales of equity
securities. The ability of the Company to meet its liquidity requirements is
predicated upon the Company's ability to access the public and private equity
markets at acceptable prices and rates. Additional financing may not be
available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is
unable to raise sufficient capital to fund its liquidity requirements during
fiscal 2000, there would be a material adverse effect on its business, financial
results and results of operations.

Impact of the Year 2000

The Company has not experienced Year 2000 issues and does not anticipate
material problems in the future. The costs to address Year 2000 issues have not
been material to the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or capital
resources.
