NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Yahoo! Inc. (the "Company") is an Internet media company that offers a 
network of globally-branded properties, specialty programming, and aggregated 
content distributed primarily on the World Wide Web (the "Web") serving 
business professionals and consumers, and is among the most widely used 
guides for information and discovery on the Web.  The Company was 
incorporated in California on March 5, 1995 and commenced operations on that 
date.  The Company conducts its business within one industry segment.

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary 
for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown.  The results of 
operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results 
expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. 


    These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Certain prior 
period balances have been reclassified to conform with current period 
presentation.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS

NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO!

    During March 1997, the Company entered into certain agreements with 
Netscape Communications Corporation (Netscape) under which the Company has 
developed and operates an Internet information navigation service called 
"NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO!" (the GUIDE).  The Co-Marketing agreement provides 
that revenue from advertising on the GUIDE, which is managed by the Company, 
is to be shared between the Company and Netscape.  Under the terms of the 
Trademark License agreement, the Company made a one-time non-refundable 
trademark license fee payment of $5,000,000 in March 1997 which is being 
amortized over the initial two-year term, which commenced in May 1997. The 
Company also provided Netscape with a minimum of $10,000,000 in guarantees 
against shared advertising revenues in the first year of the Co-Marketing 
agreement and up to $15,000,000 in the second year of the agreement, subject 
in the second year to certain minimum levels of impressions being reached on 
the GUIDE.  In June 1997, an amendment to this agreement was signed whereby 
the first year shared advertising revenue guarantee was reduced to 
$4,660,000.  Actual payments may be higher and will relate directly to the 
overall revenue recognized from the GUIDE.

                                        6





NETSCAPE PREMIER PROVIDER


    Also during March 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with 
Netscape whereby it was designated as one of four "Premier Providers" of 
domestic navigational services within the Netscape Web Site.  Under the terms 
of the agreement, the Company is required to make minimum payments of 
$3,200,000 in cash and is obligated to provide $1,500,000 in the Company's 
advertising services in return for certain minimum guaranteed exposures over 
the course of the one-year term of the agreement, which commenced in May 
1997.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had paid $1,000,000 in cash and an 
additional $637,000 was paid in July under the terms of the agreement.  To 
the extent that the minimum guaranteed exposures are exceeded, the Company is 
obligated to remit to Netscape additional payments of cash and the Company's 
advertising services. The Company amortizes the total cost of the Premier 
Provider agreement over its one year term.

    During June 1997, the Company entered into certain agreements with 
Netscape whereby it was designated as a Premier Provider of international 
search and navigational guide services for the Netscape Net Search program.  
Under the terms of the agreements, the Company will provide services in 12 
countries, including Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, 
Korea, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. 
Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to make a cash 
payment of $2,900,000 in July 1997 and is obligated to provide $100,000 in 
the Company's advertising services in return for certain minimum guaranteed 
exposures over the course of the one-year term of the agreements, which 
commenced in July 1997. The Company amortizes the total cost of these 
agreements over their one year term.

MARKETPLACE RESTRUCTURING

    In August 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with 
Visa Marketplace, Inc. and another party (the "Visa Group") for the 
development of an online property relating to electronic commerce.  The 
arrangements included the creation of a limited liability company (Yahoo! 
Marketplace L.L.C.) owned by the Company and the Visa Group, to which the 
Company licensed certain trademarks and other intellectual property, and 
included other contractual commitments by the Company to Visa.  In July 1997, 
prior to the completion of significant business activities and public launch 
of the property, the Company and Visa entered into an agreement under which 
the Visa Group released the Company from certain obligations and claims, and 
the Company returned the Visa Group's original equity contribution to the 
L.L.C.  In connection with this agreement, Yahoo! has issued 466,321 shares 
of Yahoo! Common Stock to the Visa Group, for which the Company recorded a 
one-time, non-cash, pre-tax charge of $21,245,000 in the second quarter ended 
June 30, 1997.  On August 4, 1997, the Company filed a Registration Statement 
on Form S-3 with respect to the resale of 259,069 Visa Group shares.  The 
Visa Group has agreed to refrain from the sale of 103,626 shares until July 
1998 and the remaining 103,626 shares until July 1999.

NOTE 3 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares are 
excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive, except that 
for the periods ended June 30, 1996, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange 
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin, the convertible preferred stock (using 
the if-converted method) and common equivalent shares (using the treasury 
stock method and the assumed public offering price) issued subsequent to 
March 5, 1995 through April 11, 1996 have been included in the computation as 
if they were outstanding for all periods presented.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings per Share."  
This Statement is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 
1997.  The Statement redefines earnings per share under generally accepted 
accounting principles.  Under the new standard, primary earnings per share is 
replaced by basic earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share is 
replaced by diluted earnings per share. The impact of this Statement for the 
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 on the calculation 
of primary and fully diluted earnings per share is not material.

NOTE 4 - STOCK SPLIT

    During July 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 
three-for-two Common Stock split.  Shareholders of record on August 11, 1997 
(the record date) will be entitled to one additional share for every two 
shares held on that date. In accordance with SAB Topic 4-C, the Company has 
presented a pro forma earnings per share and weighted average shares on the 
face of the statement of operations for all periods presented which reflect 
the effect of the split.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    On July 31, 1997, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to 
acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of NetControls, Inc. for 24,778 
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The acquisition will be recorded as a 
purchase for accounting purposes and the majority of the purchase price of 
approximately $1,400,000 will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 
the technology acquired. To date, the financial results of NetControls, Inc. 
have been deminimis.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    THE DISCUSSION IN THIS REPORT CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT 
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER 
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE DISCUSSED HEREIN.  FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR 
CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE 
DISCUSSED BELOW, AND THE RISKS DISCUSSED UNDER THE CAPTION, "RISK FACTORS" IN 
THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 
AND IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED ON FORM S-3 ON AUGUST 4, 1997 (COPIES 
OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AT BIZ.YAHOO.COM/PROFILES/YHOO.HTML OR UPON REQUEST 
FROM THE COMPANY). 

OVERVIEW

    Yahoo! Inc. is an Internet media company that offers a network of 
globally-branded properties, specialty programming, and aggregated content 
distributed primarily on the World Wide Web serving business professionals 
and consumers, and is among the most widely used guides for information and 
discovery on the Web.  The Company was incorporated in California on March 5, 
1995 and commenced operations on that date.  In August 1995, the Company 
commenced selling advertisements on its Web pages and recognized its initial 
revenues.  In April 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering.

    The Company's revenues are derived principally from the sale of 
advertisements on short-term contracts.  The Company's standard rates for 
advertising currently range from $0.02 per impression for general rotation to 
$0.08 per impression for highly targeted audiences and properties.  To date, 
the duration of the Company's advertising commitments has ranged from one 
week to one year.  Advertising revenues are recognized ratably in the period 
in which the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant Company 
obligations remain and collection of the resulting receivable is probable.  
Company obligations typically include guarantees of minimum number of 
"impressions," or times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by 
users of the Company's online properties.  To the extent minimum guaranteed 
impressions are not met, the Company defers recognition of the corresponding 
revenues until the remaining guaranteed impression levels are achieved.  
Deferred revenue is comprised of billings in excess of recognized revenue 
relating to advertising contracts.

    During March 1997, the Company entered into certain agreements with 
Netscape under which the Company has developed and operates an Internet 
information navigation service called "NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO!" (the GUIDE). 
 The personalized guide has been designed to provide Internet users with a 
central comprehensive source of sites, news, and other valuable services on 
the Web. NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO! is accessible through the Netscape Internet 
site and from the tool bar of Netscape Communicator.  The navigational 
service provides users with central access to eight of the most popular 
information categories on the Web.  The Co-Marketing agreement provides that 
revenue from advertising on the GUIDE, which is managed by the Company, is to 
be shared between the Company and Netscape.  The Company plans to sell the 
advertising space on the GUIDE by hiring a significant number of direct sales 
personnel.  Under the terms of the Trademark License agreement, the Company 
made a one-time non-refundable trademark license fee payment 

                                        9



of $5,000,000 in March 1997 which is being amortized over the initial 
two-year term, which commenced in May 1997.  The Company also provided 
Netscape with a minimum of $10,000,000 in guarantees against shared 
advertising revenues in the first year of the Co-Marketing agreement and up 
to $15,000,000 in the second year of the agreement, subject in the second 
year to certain minimum levels of advertising impressions being reached on 
the GUIDE.  In June 1997, an amendment to this agreement was signed whereby 
the first year shared advertising revenue guarantee was reduced to 
$4,660,000.  Actual payments may be higher and will relate directly to the 
overall revenue recognized from the GUIDE.

    Also during March 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with 
Netscape whereby it was designated as one of four "Premier Providers" of 
domestic navigational services within the Netscape Web Site.  Under the terms 
of the agreement, the Company is required to make minimum payments of 
$3,200,000 in cash and is obligated to provide $1,500,000 in the Company's 
advertising services in return for certain minimum guaranteed exposures over 
the course of the one-year term of the agreement, which commenced in May 
1997.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had paid $1,000,000 in cash and an 
additional $637,000 was paid in July under the terms of the agreement.  To 
the extent that the minimum guaranteed exposures are exceeded, the Company is 
obligated to remit to Netscape additional payments of cash and the Company's 
advertising services.

    During June 1997, the Company entered into certain agreements with 
Netscape whereby it was designated as a Premier Provider of international 
search and navigational guide services for the Netscape Net Search program.  
Under the terms of the agreements, the Company will provide services in 12 
countries, including Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, 
Korea, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. 
Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to make a cash 
payment of $2,900,000 in July 1997 and is obligated to provide $100,000 in 
the Company's advertising services in return for certain minimum guaranteed 
exposures over the course of the one-year term of the agreements, which 
commenced in July 1997.

    In August 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with 
Visa Marketplace, Inc. and another party (the "Visa Group") for the 
development of an online property relating to electronic commerce.  The 
arrangements included the creation of a limited liability company (Yahoo! 
Marketplace L.L.C.) owned by the Company and the Visa Group, to which the 
Company licensed certain trademarks and other intellectual property, and 
included other contractual commitments by the Company to Visa.  In July 1997, 
prior to the completion of significant business activities and public launch 
of the property, the Company and Visa entered into an agreement under which 
the Visa Group released the Company from certain obligations and claims, and 
the Company returned the Visa Group's original equity contribution to the 
L.L.C.  In connection with this agreement, Yahoo! has issued 466,321 shares 
of Yahoo! Common Stock to the Visa Group, for which the Company recorded a 
one-time, non-cash, pre-tax charge of $21,245,000 in the second quarter ended 
June 30, 1997.

    Yahoo! has a limited operating history and its prospects are subject to 
the risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in 
the new and rapidly evolving markets for Internet products and services, 
including the Web-based advertising market.  Specifically, such risks 
include, without limitation, the failure to continue to 

                                        10




develop and extend the "Yahoo!" brand, the failure to develop new media 
properties, the rejection of the Company's services by Web consumers and/or 
advertisers, the inability of the Company to maintain and increase the levels 
of traffic on YAHOO! properties, the development of equal or superior 
services or products by competitors, the failure of the market to adopt the 
Web as an advertising medium, the failure to successfully sell Web-based 
advertising through the Company's recently developed internal sales force, 
potential reductions in market prices for Web-based advertising as a result 
of competition or other factors, the inability of the Company to effectively 
integrate the technology and operations or any other acquired businesses or 
technologies with its operations, and the inability to identify, attract, 
retain and motivate qualified personnel.  There can be no assurance that the 
Company will be successful in addressing such risks.

    As of June 30, 1997, the Company had an accumulated deficit of 
$23,302,000. The extremely limited operating history of the Company and the 
uncertain nature of the markets addressed by the Company make the prediction 
of future results of operations difficult or impossible and, therefore, the 
recent revenue growth experienced by the Company should not be taken as 
indicative of the rate of revenue growth, if any, that can be expected in the 
future.  The Company believes that period to period comparisons of its 
operating results are not meaningful and that the results for any period 
should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.  The 
Company currently expects to significantly increase its operating expenses to 
expand its sales and marketing operations, to fund greater levels of product 
development and to develop and commercialize additional media properties.  
The Company also has remaining guaranteed payments of up to $19,660,000 in 
advertising revenue guarantees to Netscape over the next two years in 
connection with the NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO! agreement.  As a result of these 
factors, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur 
significant losses on a quarterly and annual basis for the foreseeable future.

    As a result of the Company's limited operating history, the Company does 
not have historical financial data for a significant number of periods on 
which to base planned operating expenses.  The Company derives substantially 
all of its revenues from the sale of advertisements under short-term 
contracts, which are difficult to forecast accurately.  The Company's expense 
levels are based in part on its expectations concerning future revenue and to 
a large extent are fixed.  The Company also has fixed expenses in the form of 
advertising revenue guarantees of up to $19,660,000 over the next two years 
relating to the NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO!, which subject the Company to 
additional risk in the event that advertising revenues from this property are 
not sufficient to offset guaranteed payments and related operating expenses.  
Quarterly revenues and operating results depend substantially upon the 
advertising revenues received within the quarter, which are difficult to 
forecast accurately.  Accordingly, the cancellation or deferral of a small 
number of advertising contracts could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.  The 
Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for 
any unexpected revenue shortfall, and any significant shortfall in revenue in 
relation to the Company's expectations would have an immediate adverse effect 
on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.  In 
addition, the Company plans to continue to significantly increase its 
operating expenses to expand its sales and marketing operations, 


                                        11



to continue to develop and extend the "Yahoo!" brand, to implement and 
operate the NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO!, to fund greater levels of product 
development and to develop and commercialize additional media properties.  To 
the extent that such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by 
increased revenues, the Company's business, operating results and financial 
condition will be materially and adversely affected.

    The Company's operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future 
as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside the Company's 
control.  These factors include the level of usage of the Internet, demand 
for Internet advertising, seasonal trends in Internet usage and advertising 
placements, the addition or loss of advertisers, the level of user traffic on 
YAHOO! and the Company's other online media properties, the advertising 
budgeting cycles of individual advertisers, the amount and timing of capital 
expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the Company's 
operations, the introduction of new products or services by the Company or 
its competitors, pricing changes for Web-based advertising, the timing of 
initial set-up, engineering or development fees that may be paid in 
connection with larger advertising and distribution arrangements, technical 
difficulties with respect to the use of YAHOO! or other media properties 
developed by the Company, incurrence of costs relating to acquisitions, 
general economic conditions, and economic conditions specific to the Internet 
and online media. As a strategic response to changes in the competitive 
environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing, service 
or marketing decisions or business combinations that could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial 
condition.  The Company also has experienced, and expects to continue to 
experience, seasonality in its business, with user traffic on YAHOO! and the 
Company's other online media properties being lower during the summer and 
year-end vacation and holiday periods, when usage of the Web and the 
Company's services typically experience slower growth or decline.  
Additionally, seasonality may also affect the amount of customer advertising 
dollars placed with the Company in the first and third calendar quarters as 
advertisers historically spend less during these quarters.

    From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with sponsors and 
content providers under which the Company is entitled to receive a share of 
revenue received from the purchasers of goods and services from users of the 
Company's online properties.  Such revenue arrangements, if significant, 
would expose the Company to additional risks and uncertainties, including 
(without limitation) seasonal variations associated with the markets for such 
products and services, competitive and other business factors relating to 
such markets, and potential liabilities to consumers of such products and 
services.

    Due to all of the foregoing factors, in some future quarter the Company's 
operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and 
investors.  In such event, the trading price of the Company's Common Stock 
would likely be materially and adversely affected.

                                        12



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  NET REVENUES
   
    Net revenues increased 313% and 360% in the second quarter and first half 
of fiscal 1997, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 
fiscal 1996.  The increases were due primarily to an increase in the number 
of advertisers, from 230 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to over 900 
in the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Most of the Company's customers purchase 
advertisements on a short-term basis.  There can be no assurance that 
customers will continue to purchase advertising on the Company's Web pages.  
Advertising purchases by SOFTBANK, a 34% shareholder of the Company at June 
30, 1997, and its related companies accounted for approximately 5% and 7% of 
net revenues in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1997, 
respectively, as compared to 2% and 1% in the corresponding periods in fiscal 
1996.  Contracted prices on these orders are comparable to those given to 
other major customers of the Company.  No one customer accounted for 10% or 
more of revenues during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 1997 
and 1996.  International revenues were not significant during the three and 
six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  Barter revenues represented 
less than 10% of net revenues during those periods.

   COST OF REVENUES
   
    Cost of revenues consists of the expenses associated with the production 
and usage of the Company's online navigational guides.  These costs primarily 
consist of fees paid to third parties for content included in the guides, 
Internet connection charges, equipment depreciation, and compensation.  Cost 
of revenues were 15% and 14% of net revenues in the second quarter and first 
half of fiscal 1997, respectively, as compared to 16% and 14% in the 
corresponding periods in fiscal 1996.  The absolute dollar increase in cost 
of revenues from the year ago periods was primarily attributable to increases 
in the quantity and quality of content available on the Company's online 
navigational guide YAHOO! and its other Internet navigational services, and 
increased usage of YAHOO! branded properties and the Company's other Internet 
navigational services.  The Company anticipates that its content and Internet 
connection expenses will continue to increase with the quantity and quality 
of content available on the Company's Internet navigational services, and 
increased usage of Company's Internet navigational services.  As measured in 
page views (defined as electronic page displays), the Company delivered an 
average of 38 million page views per day in June 1997, compared to an average 
of approximately 9 million page views per day in June 1996.

                                        13




   OPERATING EXPENSES
   
    The Company's operating expenses have increased significantly since the 
Company's inception.  This trend reflects the costs associated with the 
formation of the Company, the development of the corporate infrastructure, 
the marketing and promotion of the Company's brand name, and increased 
efforts to develop and commercialize the Company's products and services.  
The Company believes that continued expansion of its operations is essential 
to enhance and extend the YAHOO! main site, establish branded properties in 
targeted markets, and expand the Company's user and advertising base.  As a 
consequence, the Company intends to continue to significantly increase 
expenditures in all operating areas.

  SALES AND MARKETING
   
    Sales and marketing expenses were $8,673,000 for the quarter ended June 
30, 1997, or 64% of net revenues as compared to $3,290,000, or 100% of net 
revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended June 
30, 1997, sales and marketing expenses were $15,257,000, or 66% of net 
revenues as compared to $4,150,000, or 83% of net revenues for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996.  The absolute dollar increase from the year ago periods 
is primarily attributable to an increase in commissions associated with the 
increase in revenues, costs associated with the NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO!, an 
increase in advertising costs associated with the Company's aggressive brand 
building strategy, and additional compensation expense associated with an 
increase in sales and marketing personnel related to the addition of a direct 
sales force which the Company began building in the fourth quarter of 1996.  
The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will increase in 
future periods in absolute dollars as it continues to pursue an aggressive 
brand building strategy and continues to build a direct sales organization.  

  PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
   
    Product development expenses were $2,103,000 for the quarter ended June 
30, 1997, or 16% of net revenues as compared to $1,037,000, or 32% of net 
revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended June 
30, 1997, product development expenses were $4,005,000, or 17% of net 
revenues as compared to $1,367,000, or 27% of net revenues for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996. The increase in absolute dollars from the year ago 
periods is primarily attributable to the development of new online media 
properties and the addition of engineers.  Product development expenses 
consist primarily of employee compensation relating to developing and 
enhancing the features and functionality of YAHOO! and other online media 
properties.  To date, all product development costs have been expensed as 
incurred.  The Company believes that significant investments in product 
development are required to remain competitive.  As a consequence, the 
Company intends to incur increased product development expenditures in 
absolute dollars in future periods.

                                        14



  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
   
    General and administrative expenses were $1,459,000 for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1997, or 11% of net revenues as compared to $762,000, or 23% of net 
revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended June 
30, 1997, general and administrative expenses were $2,619,000, or 11% of net 
revenues as compared to $1,249,000, or 25% of net revenues for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in absolute dollars from the year ago 
periods is primarily attributable to increases in personnel and professional 
services. The Company believes that the absolute dollar level of general and 
administrative expenses will increase in future periods, as a result of 
increased staffing, fees for professional services, and costs associated with 
registering the Company's trademarks in various countries.

   OTHER - NONRECURRING COSTS
   
    In July 1997, the Company and Visa entered into an agreement under which 
the Visa Group released the Company from certain obligations and claims, and 
the Company returned the Visa Group's original equity contribution to Yahoo! 
Marketplace L.L.C.  In connection with this agreement, Yahoo! has issued 
466,321 shares of Yahoo! Common Stock to the Visa Group, for which the 
Company recorded a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax charge of $21,245,000 in the 
second quarter ended June 30, 1997. 
   
  INVESTMENT INCOME, NET
   
    Investment income, net of investment expense, was $1,260,000 for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1997.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, investment 
income was $969,000.  Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 
1997 was $2,649,000 as compared to $1,161,000 for the six months ended June 
30, 1996. The increase in investment income from the year ago periods was 
attributable to a higher average investment balance as a result of private 
and public offering proceeds received during March and April of 1996.  
Investment income in future periods may fluctuate as a result of fluctuations 
in average cash balances maintained by the Company and changes in the market 
rates of its investments.

  MINORITY INTERESTS IN OPERATIONS OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

    During the second half of 1996, the Company entered into joint venture 
agreements whereby the Company holds a majority interest in the subsidiaries 
under the agreements.  Minority interests in losses from operations of these 
consolidated subsidiaries were $182,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 
and $384,000 for the first half of fiscal 1997.  The joint venture agreement 
for Yahoo! Marketplace was been terminated and the Yahoo! Europe subsidiaries 
are still in the early stages of development, therefore, minority interests 
in operations of consolidated subsidiaries will continue to fluctuate in 
future periods as a function of the results from consolidated subsidiaries.   

                                        15




   INCOME TAXES
   
    Based on the current estimate of expected operating results and certain 
other factors, the Company currently expects its effective tax rate to be 0% 
through fiscal year 1997.  The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists 
regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets such that a valuation 
allowance continues to be required.

NET LOSS

    The Company recorded a net loss of $20,544,000 or $0.74 per share for the 
quarter ended June 30, 1997. Excluding the effect of the one-time, non-cash, 
pre-tax charge of $21,245,000, the Company earned $610,000 or $0.02 per 
share. For the year ago quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded a 
net loss of $1,366,000 or $0.05 per share. For the six month period ended 
June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a net loss of $20,334,000 or $0.74 per 
share. Excluding the effect of the one-time, non-cash, pre-tax charge of 
$21,245,000, the Company earned $820,000 or $0.03 per share. For the year ago 
six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded a net loss of 
$1,285,000 or $0.06 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Yahoo! invests predominantly in instruments that are highly liquid, of 
high quality investment grade, and predominantly have maturities of less than 
one year with the intent to make such funds readily available for operating 
purposes. At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and 
investments totaling $98,855,000 comprised of $61,587,000 in cash and cash 
equivalents, and $37,268,000 in short-term investments.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash used in operating activities 
of $4,534,000 was primarily due to increases in prepaid expenses and other 
assets, which resulted primarily from a $5,000,000 one-time non-refundable 
license payment to Netscape under the NETSCAPE GUIDE BY YAHOO! agreement and 
a $1,000,000 payment to Netscape under the Premier Provider agreement.  For 
the six months ended June 30, 1996, $1,131,000 of cash was used in operating 
activities.

    Cash provided by investing activities was $31,563,000 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997.  Sales and maturities (net of purchases) of investments 
in marketable securities during the period were $33,169,000 and capital 
expenditures totaled $1,606,000.  Capital expenditures have generally been 
comprised of purchases of computer hardware and software as well as leasehold 
improvements related to leased facilities, and are expected to increase in 
future periods.  For the six months June 30, 1996, $39,869,000 was used in 
investing activities.  Purchases (net of sales and maturities) of investments 
in marketable securities during the period were $39,226,000 and capital 
expenditures totaled $643,000.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash provided by financing 
activities of $2,693,000 was due to $2,093,000 from the issuance of Common 
Stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options and $600,000 of proceeds 
received from a minority investor.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, 
cash provided by financing activities of $98,785,000 was primarily due to the 
March 1996 issuance of 5,100,000 shares of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible 
Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate proceeds of $63,750,000 and the April 
1996 initial public offering of 2,990,000 shares of Common Stock for net 
proceeds of $35,043,000.

    The Company currently has no material commitments other than those under 
the Netscape Co-Marketing agreement, the Netscape Premier Provider 
agreements, and operating lease agreements.  Under the terms of the amended 
Co-Marketing agreement, the Company has provided Netscape with $4,660,000 in 
guarantees against shared advertising revenues in the first year of the 
agreement and up to $15,000,000 in the 

                                        16




second year of the agreement, subject in the second year to certain minimum 
levels of advertising impressions being reached on the GUIDE. Under the terms 
of the Premier Provider agreements, the Company has remaining minimum 
payments to Netscape at June 30, 1997 of $5,100,000 in cash and $1,225,000 in 
the Company's advertising services which are due during the one-year terms of 
the agreements, of which $3,537,000 in cash was paid in July 1997. The 
Company experienced a substantial increase in its capital expenditures and 
operating lease arrangements in 1996 and the first half of 1997 consistent 
with increased staffing and anticipates that this will continue in the 
future. Additionally, the Company will continue to evaluate possible 
acquisitions of or investments (including through joint ventures) in 
businesses, products, and technologies that are complementary to those of the 
Company, which may require the use of cash.  Management believes existing 
cash and investments will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating 
requirements for at least the next twelve months.  Thereafter, the Company 
may sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities.  
The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in 
additional dilution to the Company's shareholders.
