ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

       On June 30, 1999, Internet America, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), acquired all the issued and outstanding securities of NeoSoft, Inc.,
a Texas corporation ("NeoSoft"), for $8,000,000. As a result of the purchase,
NeoSoft became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company became the
indirect owner of all of the assets of NeoSoft, which include approximately
9,500 individual and corporate internet access accounts and the computer
equipment used to service those accounts. The Company intends to continue to use
these assets to provide internet access to customers. The acquisition was
effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 30, 1999, by and
among NeoSoft, certain of its shareholders ("Shareholders") and the Company. The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

       To the best knowledge of the Company, at the time of the acquisition
there was no material relationship between (i) NeoSoft and the Shareholders on
the one hand and (ii) the Company, or any of its affiliates, any director or
officer of the Company, or any associate of such director or officer on the
other hand.

       The consideration paid by the Company was $8,000,000 consisting of
$7,300,000 paid to Shareholders and $700,000 in retention bonuses paid to
employees. The consideration was determined by arms-length negotiations between
the parties to the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
