              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which
in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for
the period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire fiscal year ending
December 31, 2000. The December 31, 1999 balance sheet was derived from audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles.

2.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Digital River, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.

3.   NET LOSS PER SHARE:

     Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding excluding contingently issuable or returnable shares,
and diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. As a
result of the losses incurred by the Company for the three months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive and
were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations.

     The following table summarizes securities outstanding as of each period end
which were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share since
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

</TABLE>

4.   ACQUISITIONS AND EARN-OUT ARRANGEMENTS:

     Former employees of Maagnum Internet Group, which the Company purchased in
April 1999, received earn-out payments of 124,349 shares of Common Stock valued
at $3,093,000 in March 2000. The Company charged such amount to compensation
expense and this is included as amortization of goodwill and acquisition related
costs in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This
amount would have increased general and administrative expense had it been
reported outside of that caption.

     During 1999, the Company acquired four companies that were accounted for
under the purchase method. The following unaudited pro forma condensed results
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 has been prepared as if
each of the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1999:

     This financial information does not purport to represent results that would
actually have been obtained if the transactions had been in effect on January 1,
1999 or any future results that may in fact be realized.

5.   SEGMENT INFORMATION:

     The Company has two operating segments under the guidelines of SFAS No.
131, Software and Digital Commerce Services and E-Business Services, which have
been identified as components of the Company which are reviewed regularly by
management to determine resource allocation and assess performance. No
disclosure of segments for 1999 has been presented as Software and Digital
Commerce Services represented substantially all operations in 1999. Unallocated
corporate items consist of goodwill amortization, acquisition related costs and
interest income for operational results and consist of certain cash, investments
and goodwill for total assets. Segment information is as follows:

6.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

     In June 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved amending the 1999
Non-Officer Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock
available for grants was under the plan to 3,950,000 shares from 2,250,000
shares.

7.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
In June 2000, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B to defer the
effective date of implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth quarter of 2000. In
July 2000, the Financial Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
reached a consensus on EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal
versus Net as an Agent." EITF 99-19 follows the effective date of SAB 101B. The
Company is currently analyzing the impact these pronouncements will have on its
revenue presentation.

     In March 2000, the EITF also published its consensus on EITF 00-2,
"Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." EITF 00-2 is effective for fiscal
quarters beginning after June 30, 2000. The Company is currently analyzing the
impact this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

OVERVIEW

     The Company is a leading provider of comprehensive electronic commerce
outsourcing solutions. The Company was incorporated in February 1994 and
commenced offering products for sale through its clients' Web stores in August
1996. From inception through August 1996, the Company had no sales, and its
activities related primarily to the development of its Commerce Network Server
("CNS") technology related to electronic commerce. In 1996, the Company began to
focus its business development efforts on the software industry, building its
inventory of software products through contracts with software publishers. In
1997, the Company began to develop software distribution relationships through
contracts with online retailers. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had
approximately 7,500 software publisher clients and online retailer clients that
are served by the Software and Digital Commerce Services Division. In late 1998,
the Company began to offer its comprehensive electronic commerce outsourcing
services in the form of a transaction fee-based e-commerce service to clients
outside of the software industry. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had 43 client
contracts under its E-Business Services Division.

     The Company derives its revenue primarily from sales of third-party
software. The Company has contractual relationships with its software publisher
and online retailer clients which obligate the Company to pay to the client a
specified percentage of each sale. Revenues from the sale of software products,
net of estimated returns, are recognized upon either delivery through electronic
software delivery ("ESD") or shipment of the physical product to the end-user.
The amount payable to the software publisher or online retailer is reported as
cost of sales. The Company bears full credit risk with respect to substantially
all sales. For e-commerce services offered under the E-Business Services
division, the Company derives its revenue from licensing, development fees,
transaction processing and hosting fees as well as service fees. E-Business
Services revenue is recognized as services are performed, except for licensing
and certain integration fees which are recognized evenly over the term of the
contract. The Company generated less than 4% and 15% of its revenue and gross
profit, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from E-Business
Services. There can be no assurance that the Company will derive any significant
revenue from E-Business Services in the future.

     The Company has a limited operating history upon which investors may
evaluate its business and prospects. Since inception, the Company has incurred
significant losses, and as of June 30, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $70.4 million. The Company intends to expend significant financial
and management resources on the development of additional services, sales and
marketing, technology and operations to support larger-scale operations and
greater service offerings, particularly with regards to the E-Business Services
division. As a result, the Company expects to incur additional losses and
continued negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. There
can be no assurance that the Company's sales will increase or even continue at
their current level or that the Company will achieve or maintain profitability
or generate cash from operations in future periods. The Company's prospects must
be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly
companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as electronic commerce. To
address these risks, the Company must, among other things, maintain existing and
develop new relationships with software publishers, online retailers and
E-Business Services clients, implement and successfully execute its business and
marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade its technology and
transaction-processing systems, provide superior customer service and order
fulfillment, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and
motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. The Company's current and future expense levels are based
largely on its planned operations and estimates of future sales. Sales and
operating results generally depend on the volume and timing of orders received,
which are difficult to forecast. The Company may be unable to adjust spending in
a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly,
any significant shortfall in sales would have an immediate adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In view of
the rapidly evolving nature of the Company's business and its limited operating
history, the Company is unable to accurately forecast its sales and believes
that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

</TABLE>

SALES

     Sales increased to $31.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from
$15.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and increased to $63.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, up from $27.5 million for the same
period of 1999. Sales for the Software and Digital Commerce Services segment
increased to $29.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $15.8
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and increased to $61.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, up from $27.5 million for the same period of
1999. The increases were primarily a result of significant growth in the number
of the Company's software publisher and online retailer clients as well as
increasing market acceptance of ESD. Sales for the E-Business Services segment
were $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and were $1.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. These sales were the results of new clients
contracted. International sales represented approximately 24% and 25% of sales
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

GROSS PROFIT

     Cost of sales increased to $24.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000
from $12.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and increased to $50.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $22.6 million for the same
period of 1999. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 20.8% in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 versus 18.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The
gross profit margin for the Software and Digital Commerce Services segment
decreased to 18.3% in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 versus 18.9% in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was due mainly to a change in the
client mix to certain lower margin clients. The gross profit margin for the
E-Business Services segment was 82.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and is
a function of margins earned on licensing, transaction fees and other services.
The Company believes that Internet commerce and related services will become
more competitive in the near future. Accordingly, the Company may reduce or
alter its pricing structure and policies in the future and any such change could
reduce gross margins.

SALES AND MARKETING

     Sales and marketing expense increased to $7.1 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 from $4.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and increased
to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $8.0 million for
the same period of 1999. The increases resulted from expanding the E-Business
sales, client services and marketing infrastructure and variable expenses which
increase in relation to sales. The primary components of the increase for the
comparable quarters ended June 30 were an increase in wages and benefits of $1.1
million and an increase in credit card fees and chargeback costs of $798,000. As
a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense decreased to 23.0% in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 27.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
primarily reflecting the Company's increased sales volume. The Company expects
that sales and marketing expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars
as the Company continues to build its sales and marketing infrastructure and to
develop marketing programs.


                                      11.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

     Product development and operations expense increased to $6.9 million in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $3.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999
and increased to $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $7.3
million for the same period of 1999. The increases were primarily related to
increased personnel and consulting costs related to developing, enhancing and
maintaining the Company's CNS and related facilities and customer service
related personnel costs. The primary components of the increase for the
comparable quarters ended June 30, were an increase in consulting costs of $1.4
million and an increase in wages and benefits of $1.1 million. As a percentage
of sales, product development and operations expense decreased to 22.1% in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 23.6% in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The
Company believes that continued investment in product development and operations
is critical to attaining its strategic objectives and, and as a result, expects
product development and operations expenses will continue to increase in
absolute dollars. As a percentage of sales, these expenses are expected to
decrease as sales increase.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General and administrative expense increased to $1.3 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $1.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and
increased to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $2.0
million for the same period of 1999. The increases were primarily due to
increased personnel and related expenses, legal expenses and investor relations
expenses. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense decreased
to 4.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 6.8% in the quarter ended June
30, 1999, primarily reflecting the Company's growth in sales. The Company
expects general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars in
the future, particularly as the Company continues to build infrastructure to
support growth and incurs costs associated with being a public company. As a
percentage of sales, these expenses are expected to decrease as sales increase.

INTEREST INCOME

         Interest income consists of earnings on the Company's cash, cash
equivalents and investments. The decrease from the prior period was attributable
to lower cash and investment balances in 2000. The Company expects interest
income to decrease in the future as cash is used to fund operations and is used
for investments in infrastructure.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company paid no income taxes in any reported period. The Company has
incurred a net loss for each period since inception. As of June 30, 2000, the
Company had approximately $74 million of net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes, which expire beginning in 2009. Due to the
uncertainty of future profitability, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred
tax asset has been recorded. Certain changes in ownership that resulted from the
sales of Common and Preferred Stock will limit the future annual realization of
the tax net operating loss carryforwards to a specified percentage under Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In the first six months of 2000, the Company used $12.1 million of cash
to fund operations and made additions of equipment and software totaling $6.6
million. The Company sold $36.4 million in investments which were partially
offset by $12.1 million in purchases of investments. In addition, the


                                      12.
<PAGE>

Company received $3.5 million from stock sales, all of which were through stock
option and warrant exercises. In the same period for 1999, the Company used $7.9
million of cash to fund operations, $3.3 for acquisitions, $1.6 million for
addition of equipment and software and $60.0 million to purchase short-term
investments which was partially offset by $40.0 million in sales of investments

         As of June 30, 2000 the Company had $24.3 million of cash and cash
equivalents, $9.0 million of short-term investments and $6.0 million in
long-term investments. The Company's principal commitments consisted of
obligations outstanding under operating leases. Although the Company has no
material commitments for capital expenditures, it anticipates an increase in the
rate of capital expenditures consistent with its anticipated growth in
operations, infrastructure and personnel. The Company anticipates that it will
expend approximately $17.0 million over the next 18 months on capital
expenditures based on the Company's current anticipated growth rate. The Company
further anticipates that it will expend approximately $21.0 million over the
next 18 months on product development based on the Company's current anticipated
growth rate in operations. The Company may also use cash to acquire or license
technology, products or businesses related to the Company's current business.
The Company also anticipates that it will continue to experience growth in its
operating expenses for the foreseeable future and that its operating expenses
will be a material use of the Company's cash resources. The Company believes
that existing sources of liquidity, will provide adequate cash to fund its
operations for at least the next 18 months.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
In June 2000, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B to defer the
effective date of implementation of SAB 101 until the fourth quarter of 2000. In
July 2000, the Financial Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
reached a consensus on EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal
versus Net as an Agent." EITF 99-19 follows the effective date of SAB 101B. The
Company is currently analyzing the impact these pronouncements will have on its
revenue presentation.

     In March 2000, the EITF also published its consensus on EITF 00-2,
"Accounting for Web Site Development Costs." EITF 00-2 is effective for fiscal
quarters beginning after June 30, 2000. The Company is currently analyzing the
impact this pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 3.  QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes and does not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. The
operations of the Company are conducted primarily in the United States and as
such are not subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk. The
Company has no long-term debt.
