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 consolidated 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, 2005, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No 000-25147).

2.	Acquisitions

On July 21, 2005, the Company acquired the subscriber base and assets of TopGun Telecom, Inc. The purchase price was approximately $202,000. Subscriber acquisition costs and goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition were approximately $157,000 and $24,000, respectively. The fair value assigned to the assets acquired at the date of acquisition is based upon preliminary estimates. The Company is in the process of obtaining supplemental information related to certain intangible assets and equipment, and accordingly the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operations of the acquired company were included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information for the acquisition is not presented as the impact is not material.

3.	Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

There are no adjustments required to be made to net income for the purpose of computing basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 94,500 and 200,000 shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were “in the money” as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and it resulted in 8,949 and 6,558 common stock equivalents to be added to the weighted average shares for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 408,289 and 288,537 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were not “in the money” as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There were no options exercised to purchase shares of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

4.	Employee Stock Option Plans

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. The estimated fair value of each option grant was determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the common shares of the Company. No compensation expense has been charged against income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, related to stock option plans.

4.	Employee Stock Option Plans (continued)

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS’) No. 123, the Company’s net income and income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been as indicated below:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2005			Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
Reported net income	$	108,716		$	237,574

Less: SFAS No. 123 compensation expense		(22,663	)		(25,140	)

Pro forma net income	$	86,053		$	212,340

Reported basic income per share	$	0.01		$	0.02

Reported diluted income per share	$	0.01		$	0.02

Less: SFAS No. 123 compensation expense	$	—		$	—

Pro forma basic income per share	$	0.01		$	0.02

Pro forma diluted income per share	$	0.01		$	0.02

5.	Other Assets

Other assets consist of the following:


	September 30, 2005			June 30, 2005
Goodwill	$	26,047,266		$	26,023,407
Accum. amortization-goodwill		(21,734,139	)		(21,734,139	)

Total goodwill, net		4,313,127			4,289,268

Subscriber acquisition costs		1,013,106			856,441
Accum. amortization-subscriber acquisition costs		(431,449	)		(308,812	)

Total subscriber acquisition costs, net		581,657			547,629

Deposits		66,911			67,815

Total other assets, net	$	4,961,695		$	4,904,712

The amortization period for subscriber acquisition costs is 24 months. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005, was approximately $125,000. As of September 30, 2005, amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 is expected to be $379,915, $197,742 and $4,000, respectively. Goodwill and subscriber acquisition costs acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2005, were approximately $24,000 and $157,000, respectively.

6.	Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company generated net income. No provision for income taxes has been recorded as the Company has reduced the valuation allowance on its net operating losses generated in prior periods. As of September 30, 2005, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets of approximately $12.0 million. Given its limited history of generating net income, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

7.	Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of:


	September 30, 2005			June 30, 2005
Note payable due November 15, 2007, payable in monthly installments of $1,825, bearing interest at prime plus 3%	$	44,827		$	47,729

Note payable due October 1, 2005, payable in quarterly payments of $23,863 with interest imputed at 8%		23,401			46,349

Note payable due May 30, 2007, payable in monthly installments of approximately $987, bearing interest at prime plus 2%		20,535			23,013

Note payable due September 15, 2005, payable in quarterly payments of $3,809 with interest imputed at 8%		—			3,771

Credit card line of credit advance, payable on demand, bearing interest at prime plus 6.5%		36,115			40,616

		343,954			346,480
Less current portion		(185,068	)		(241,742	)

Total long-term debt	$	158,886		$	104,738

The Company’s long-term debt is unsecured except for approximately $65,000 and $71,000 as of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively, which is secured by certain inventory and equipment. The prime rate at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, was 6.75% and 6.25%, respectively.

8.	Capital Lease Obligations

The Company leases certain wireless equipment under leases with bargain purchase options. The following is a schedule by fiscal years of the future minimum lease payments under these capital leases together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2005:


2006	$	64,876
2007		74,113
2008		54,367
2009		54,367
2010		31,714

Total minimum lease payments		279,437

Present value of minimum capitalized payments		239,909
Less current portion		(68,761	)

Long-term capitalized lease obligations	$	171,148

9.	Related Parties

The Company entered into a consulting agreement for a one-year term beginning October 1, 2003 with the former Chairman and CEO of the Company, Jack T. Smith (“Mr. Smith”). The agreement, which terminated September 30, 2004, stated that a consulting fee was to be paid at a rate of $10,000 per month. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company paid a total of $30,000 in consulting fees to Mr. Smith. The Company also had an $82,000 note receivable due from Mr. Smith and accrued interest income due on the note of $5,349 outstanding at September 30, 2004. Included in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2004, is approximately $1,300 related to Mr. Smith’s note receivable. In October 2004, the Company entered into a release agreement with Mr. Smith for the note receivable in connection with the purchase by the Company of 200,000 shares from Mr. Smith.

During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company paid approximately $23,000 in marketing consulting fees and related expenses to Marc Ladin Consulting. Marc Ladin is the son of William E. Ladin, Jr., the Chairman and CEO of the Company.

The following table shows amounts paid to three non-employee directors for serving on the Company’s board of directors during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2005		2004
Troy LeMaile Stovall	$	6,750	$	4,250
Justin McClure		6,750		4,250
John Palmer		3,750		—

Total director fees	$	17,250	$	8,500

10.	New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123 (R) requires that compensation cost relating to all share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosures are no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the effective date of SFAS No. 123 (R) to be the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, for public companies that are small business issuers. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123 (R) on July 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC and expects to apply the modified prospective method upon adoption. The modified prospective method requires companies to record compensation cost beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 (R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123 (R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-QSB constitute “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, 2005 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’) serving approximately 51,000 subscribers in the southwestern United States, primarily in Dallas and Houston, Texas, as of September 30, 2005. A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer. Prior to fiscal 2005 the Company derived substantially all revenues from services, primarily Internet access services, and related fees, and such revenues represented more than 99% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2004. During fiscal 2005 the Company became a wireless equipment reseller which changed the revenue mix. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, Internet access services accounted for 84.7% of total revenue with the remaining revenues related primarily to wireless equipment reseller revenues.

The Company continues to experience an attrition of dial-up service customers. The loss of these customers is primarily attributable to their moving to broadband connectivity with other service providers. The Company does not currently have an adequate broadband solution for a majority of its customers in the major metropolitan areas and we operate in a highly competitive market for each of our service offerings. The competitive environment impacts the churn rates we experience as well as the number of new customers we are able to add. The largest competitors in broadband access are cable companies and Regional Bell Operating Companies.

The Company’s strategy is to focus on providing wireless Internet connectivity to customers in under-served or non-served markets where competition is less intense. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we expanded into several rural markets which meet these criteria through acquisitions and the deployment of new infrastructure. The Company is actively pursuing development and acquisition opportunities in other non-metropolitan markets where competition is less intense and the demand for Internet connectivity may be under-served or non-served. In pursuing this strategy, the Company is narrowing its focus to products and services that contribute directly to its implementation.

Additionally, management is evaluating other product offerings with a view toward improving profitability. Management is realigning both capital and human resources to focus on acquisitions, broadband connectivity, VoIP, and Fax-2-Email software. We expect to continue to evaluate the feasibility of new technologies and develop new service offerings, focusing primarily on offerings associated with traditional wireline and wireless voice services.

Company management believes the initiatives identified above are instrumental in the achievement of our goals, but they may be subject to competitive, regulatory, and other events and circumstances that are beyond our control. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any or all of the initiatives, that the achievement or existence of such initiatives will result in profit improvements, or that other factors will not arise that would adversely affect future profits.

Statement of Operations

Internet services revenue is derived from dial-up Internet access, including analog and ISDN access, DSL access, dedicated connectivity, wireless access, bulk dial-up access, web hosting services, and value-added services, such as multiple e-mail boxes, personalized e-mail addresses and Fax-2-Email services. Other revenue includes Neo server revenue, which was discontinued in November 2004, and wireless equipment reseller revenues.

Prior to fiscal 2005 the Company operated primarily out of its corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. In fiscal 2005, in addition to the corporate office, the Company began operating out of local offices including computer centers in Corsicana, Texas, Hillsboro, Texas and Stafford, Texas. Operating expenses for the Company includes operating expenses for the both the corporate office and the local computer centers.

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, merchant processing fees 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; (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet; and (iii) equipment and tower lease costs for our new wireless networks.

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 office and business expenses.

Bad debt expense consists primarily of customer accounts that have been deemed uncollectible and will potentially be written off in future periods, net of recoveries. Historically, the expense has been based on the aging of customer accounts whereby all customer accounts that are 90 days or older and certain other accounts, as necessary, have been provided for as a bad debt expense.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the capital lease term, as appropriate. Data communications equipment, computers, data servers and office equipment are depreciated over three years. We depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over five years. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of subscriber acquisition costs.

Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

(1)	A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer.

(2)

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of performance. Management has consistently used EBITDA on a historical basis as a measurement of the Company’s current operating cash income.

(3)	EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 (Continued)

Total revenue.Total revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 3.8%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The Company’s subscriber count decreased by 7,000, or 12.1%, to 51,000 as of September 30, 2005 compared to 58,000 as of September 30, 2004. The decrease in subscriber counts is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other provider’s broadband service. Wireless access revenue from the addition of wireless subscribers from both acquisitions and organic growth of approximately $141,000 plus revenue from the wireless equipment reseller business of approximately $377,000 slightly more than offset the decrease in dial-up revenue.

Connectivity and operations.Connectivity and operations expense increased by $0.1 million, or 7.1%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is a result of increased connectivity costs related to acquisitions of approximately $122,000 and the wireless reseller cost of sales of approximately $347,000 offset by net reductions in customer care and systems payroll.

Sales and marketing.Sales and marketing expense decreased by $84,000, or 52.8%, to $75,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $159,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease relates primarily to reductions in head count.

General and administrative.General and administrative expense increased by $26,000, or 3.9%, to $696,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $670,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to operating costs of the new computer centers.

Provision for bad debt expense.Provision for bad debt expense increased to $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $169 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is due primarily to reserve for bad debts for the wireless equipment reseller business. As of September 30, 2005, the Company continues to be fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old and certain other accounts.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $153,000, or 239.1%, to $217,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is primarily due to an increase in depreciation for fixed asset purchases related to new wireless infrastructure as well as amortization of subscriber acquisition costs.

Interest (expense) income, net.For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 the Company recorded net interest expense of $4,000 and net interest income of $8,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the interest income earned was more than offset by the interest paid on long-term debt and capital leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations to date primarily through (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) public and private sales of equity securities and (iii) loans from shareholders and third parties.

Cash (used in) provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, cash used in operations was $85,000 compared to cash provided by operations of $13,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, net income plus non-cash items contributed $338,000 in cash which was then used primarily for purchases of inventory, payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease in deferred revenue. Inventory, which primarily includes modems and wireless access radios, increased in the three months ended September 30, 2005, due to the new computer centers as well as the Company expanding its wireless equipment reseller business. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, net income plus non-cash items contributed $302,000 in cash which was then used primarily for the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease in deferred revenue. The decrease in deferred revenue from year to year is a result of the decrease in our subscriber count and the related decrease in revenue.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $153,000 and $106,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in cash used for investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2005, relates primarily to the deployment of new wireless infrastructure.

Cash used in financing activities which totaled $108,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, consisted of proceeds from stock issuances offset by principal payments on debt and capital leases.

We estimate that cash on hand of $2.0 million at September 30, 2005 along with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient for meeting our working capital needs for the next twelve months with regard to continuing operations in existing markets. Additional financing may be required to fund acquisitions or expansion into new markets. Continued decreases in revenues and subscriber count may ultimately adversely affect the liquidity of the Company.

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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.
