See accompanying notes to condensed financial statements. INTERNET AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. Basis of Presentation Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2001, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 000-25147). 2. Earnings Per Share There are no adjustments required to be made to net loss for the purpose of computing basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, options to purchase 1,194,870 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company incurred a net loss for the period and the effect of such instruments is antidilutive. During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, no options to purchase shares of common stock were exercised. 3. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into during September 2000, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to an officer in exchange for cash of $2,000 and a note receivable, bearing interest at 6.33%, for $685,500. The purchase price per share of the common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement was the closing price of the common stock on the date the Company's board of directors approved the transaction. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the officer had the option to put the shares of common stock to the Company during the term of the Stock Purchase Agreement for $3.4375 per share. The officer exercised the put agreement on August 6, 2001. On that day another stock purchase agreement was entered into between the officer and the Company. The Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to the officer in exchange for cash of $2,000 and a note receivable, bearing interest at 6.33%, for $82,000. Under the terms of the new Stock Purchase Agreement, the officer has the option to put the shares of common stock to the Company during the term of the Stock Purchase Agreement for $0.42 per share. In connection with the put option, the Company has recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $54,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2001, which was a result of the decrease in the price of the Company's common stock between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2001. 4. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), "Business Combinations," and Statement No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 includes requirements to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment rather than amortize them. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets be periodically evaluated for impairment based on fair market value. The Company has historically evaluated its intangible assets for impairment based on projected future cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 142 will have on its financial statements. The Company has elected to adopt SFAS No. 142 on July 1, 2002, and a significant impairment charge may be recorded at that time. 5. Letter of Credit Security Commitment Agreement On September 18, 2001, the company entered into a Letter of Credit Security Commitment Agreement with the Company's Chairman, William O. Hunt, to finance an appeal bond in the approximate amount of $3.3 million in connection with a judgment entered against the Company. Under this agreement, Mr. Hunt will collateralize a letter of credit in the amount of $3.3 million and the Company will pay Mr. Hunt a commitment fee of 8% per annum, paid quarterly. If the Company reduces the collateral amount by substituting an alternative collateral for the letter of credit, then Mr. Hunt would have a ninety day option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to all or a portion of the amount of the reduction, based on when it occurs. The purchase price would be $0.35 per share. If a reduction occurs within the six months following the agreement, Mr. Hunt could purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to one-half of the amount of the reduction, and if a reduction occurs after this six month period, Mr. Hunt could purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to the full amount of the reduction. Should the letter of credit be funded in the full amount or in a reduced amount to pay a settlement or judgment, the Company will enter into a secured convertible promissory note for the funded amount. Interest on the note would accrue at 12% per annum and be payable quarterly during the first two years after issuance. The note could be converted into common stock within two years of issuance at the purchase price discussed above. If the note was not converted within two years of issuance, the conversion option would terminate and all principal and unpaid accrued interest would be payable in four quarterly payments over the third year. If the amount of the note is less than the full amount of the letter of credit, the balance would be treated as a reduction and Mr. Hunt would also have the purchase rights discussed above. If the Company pays the note prior to its maturity, Mr. Hunt would have a thirty day option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to the amount of the prepayment at $0.35 per share. If Mr. Hunt does not exercise this thirty day option, he would be issued a warrant to purchase, at the same price, one-half of the number of shares that were subject to the option. The warrant would terminate, if unexercised, on the second anniversary of the note issuance date. The obligations to Mr. Hunt are secured by the Company's assets other than accounts receivable. Under a registration agreement, Mr. Hunt has demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to any shares issued under the Letter of Credit Security Commitment Agreement. The demand registration right is subject to a 120 day deferral if the Board of Directors determines that such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders. ITEM 2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This section contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements, identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions, include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 and other publicly filed reports discuss some additional important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements. OVERVIEW Internet America is an Internet service provider ("ISP") that offers a wide array of Internet services tailored to meet the needs of individual and business subscribers. We provide our subscribers with a high quality Internet experience with fast, reliable service and responsive customer care. As of December 31, 2001, we served approximately 142,000 subscribers in the southwestern United States. The growth of the Internet has resulted in increased competition for existing services and increased demand for new products and services. Increases in demand and a surge in Internet users have fostered an increase in the number of ISPs providing access to the Internet. Our competitors advertise in our existing markets with aggressive new promotions or offers of free Internet access. We believe we are well positioned to deal with these competitive forces by continuing to build high user density and maintaining a rational business plan. High user density is the cornerstone of our business strategy. We will continue to pursue an ambitious growth strategy, but in a controlled manner. Our goal is to rapidly create high user density in specific markets to achieve and maintain positive EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Recent technological developments have facilitated the increased adoption of broadband access via mechanisms such as cable, fixed/mobile wireless, and copper pair allowing voice, video, and data to occur simultaneously over one connection. The emergence of low-cost broadband solutions will significantly impact the ability of many ISPs to compete. We are committed to being a leader in offering cost effective broadband solutions to individuals and businesses. High-speed connectivity is essential to the commercially viable deployment of new, value-added services such as Internet telephony, particularly Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video and audio programming distribution and other high bandwidth applications. We believe we are well positioned to efficiently market and deploy our broadband products due to the high density of our subscriber base. Given the high level of competition in the industry for new subscribers, we will be more selective with investing in direct response advertising. We plan to concentrate our direct response advertising more heavily in markets where we have established branding than in new markets. The execution of our acquisition strategy has increased our amortization expense as the costs of purchasing the subscriber bases are written off. In the coming quarters we expect to report net losses, primarily due to amortization expense, while generating positive EBITDA. There can be no assurance we will be able to achieve or sustain positive EBITDA or net income in the future. Recently issued accounting pronouncements may impact the amortization or impairment charges relative to our intangible assets. We have an accumulated deficit of $49.1 million at December 31, 2001 and have had annual operating losses since inception as a result of building network infrastructure and rapidly increasing market share. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS Internet services revenue is derived from individual dial-up Internet access, including analog and ISDN access, DSL access, dedicated connectivity, bulk dial-up access, Web hosting services, and value-added services, such as multiple e-mail boxes and personalized e-mail addresses. A brief description of each element of our operating expenses follows: Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs for new subscribers, telecommunication costs, and wages of network operations and customer support personnel. Connectivity costs include (i) fees paid to telephone companies for subscribers' dial-up connections to our network and (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative and production costs, costs of media placement, management salaries and call center wages. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative salaries, professional services, rent and other general business expenses. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Data communications equipment, computers, data servers and office equipment are depreciated over three years. We depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over five years. Purchased subscriber bases and related goodwill are amortized over 30 to 36 months. The assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at estimated fair values. The excess of the cost of the net assets acquired over their fair value is recorded as goodwill and amortized over an estimated life of 36 to 42 months. Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

(1) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) consists of revenue less connectivity and operating expense, sales and marketing expense, and general administrative expense. EBITDA is provided because it is a measure commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. EBITDA is presented to enhance an understanding of our operating results and is not intended to represent cash flows or results of operations in accordance with GAAP for the periods indicated. EBITDA is not a measurement under GAAP and is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies. (2) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Total revenue. Total revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 25.3%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the decrease in total revenue is attributable to the sale of DSL customers to Covad Communications ("Covad") as part of a settlement agreement with Covad. Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $2.8 million, or 43.8%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. As a percentage of revenue, connectivity and operations expense decreased to 54.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from 72.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. These decreases are primarily due to the costs eliminated as a result of the sale of DSL customers to Covad and our consolidation of operations. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 90.9%, to $45,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the decrease relates to a reduction of television advertising in all markets. General and administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 41.7%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 21.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from 27.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the decrease is related to our consolidation of operations. In addition, general and administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 2000 includes $275,000 in non-cash compensation expense related to an officer's stock purchase agreement compared to $54,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Provision for bad debt. Provision for bad debt expense decreased by $608,000, or 55.8%, to $481,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. For the three months ended December 31, 2000, there was a significant charge to bad debt expense due to an evaluation of the collectibility of accounts receivable. Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly by $100,000, or 2.5%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, from $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Interest expense, net. Interest expense was $151,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to interest income of $2,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2001 is mainly due to $80,000 related to post-judgement interest on an adverse judgement in a lawsuit and $66,000 in interest expense related to a $3.3 million letter of credit agreement with the Company's Chairman, William O. Hunt. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 The following table sets forth certain unaudited financial data for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

The decrease in total revenue is attributable to the sale of DSL customers to Covad as part of a settlement agreement with Covad. Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $5.1 million, or 42.1%, to $7.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $12.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. As a percentage of revenue, connectivity and operations expense decreased to 50.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 68.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily due to the costs eliminated as a result of the sale of DSL customers to Covad and our consolidation of operations. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $2.5 million, or 89.3%, to $343,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001, compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The majority of the decrease relates to a reduction of television advertising in all markets. General and administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 34.8%, to $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $4.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 21.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from 25.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2000. General and administrative expense for the six months ended December 31, 2000 includes $562,500 in non-cash compensation expense related to an officer's stock purchase agreement compared to $54,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The remainder of the decrease is related to consolidation of operations. Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $200,000, or 2.5%, to $7.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, from $8.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000. Interest expense, net. Interest expense was $248,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to interest expense of only $3,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000. The interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2001 is mainly due to $160,000 related to post-judgement interest on an adverse judgement in a lawsuit and $77,000 in interest expense related to a $3.3 million letter of credit agreement with the Company's Chairman, William O. Hunt. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have financed our operations to date primarily through public and private sales of equity securities, loans from shareholders and third parties and revenue collections. We completed an initial public offering in December 1998 and received net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million. We used a portion of the proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $2.1 million in shareholder notes and certain other indebtedness Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.3 million and $390,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was positively impacted by $2.5 million in EBITDA and offset by an $822,000 decrease in deferred revenue. Cash used in investing activities totaled $320,000 and $403,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which consisted of routine purchases of property and equipment to expand and upgrade our network. Cash used in financing activities totaled $675,000 and $207,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2001 consisted mainly of payments of $575,000 to service debt and capital lease obligations. On September 18, 2001, we entered into an agreement with our Chairman, William O. Hunt, in which Mr. Hunt collateralized an appeal bond with a letter of credit in the approximate amount of $3.3 million to appeal a judgment entered against the Company, Mr. Hunt and a former executive officer of the Company. Internet America collateralized a portion of the appeal bond by placing $200,000 in a short term certificate of deposit required to be in place for the duration of the appeal. There were one time transaction costs to post this appeal bond. Annual recurring financing costs for this bond will be up to $264,000. In addition, if the letter of credit is funded in the full amount or in a reduced amount to pay a judgment or settlement, Internet America would enter into a convertible secured promissory note for the funded amount. Interest would accrue at 12% per annum and be payable quarterly for the first two years after issuance. If the note was not converted within two years of issuance, the conversion option would terminate and all principal and unpaid accrued interest would be payable in four quarterly payments over the third year. In connection with the agreement, we granted Mr. Hunt a security interest in our assets other than accounts receivable. We estimate that cash on hand of $1.8 million at December 31, 2001 along with anticipated revenues and the appeal bond financing discussed above will be sufficient for meeting our working capital needs for fiscal 2002 with regard to continuing operations in existing markets. Additional financing will be required to fund acquisitions or expand into new markets. If additional capital financing arrangements, including public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or additional borrowings from commercial banks, are insufficient or unavailable, or if we experience shortfalls in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, we will modify our operations and growth strategies to match available funding. In such case, it is likely that our advertising expenditures would be downscaled to a level where positive cash flows are generated from operations. We have no long term advertising commitments.
