                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   THE COMPANY

Lava"), is a provider of software products and services related to the use of
rich mixed media for corporate training, communications, research and other

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 and the statements of
operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations
for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     Certain amounts have been reclassified from the Company's quarterly reports
for 1999 to conform to the current presentation.

3.   NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during a period. In computing diluted loss per share, the
treasury stock method is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be
purchased from the conversion of common stock equivalents.

     Because their effects are anti-dilutive, diluted net loss per share for the
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 do not include the effects of:

of $660,023 recorded in February 1999 to the then holders of Series B and C

5.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulleting ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements", which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize
revenue and provides guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure
related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the
SEC. We believe that adopting SAB No. 101 will not have a material impact on our
financial position or results of operations.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"),
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", which is an
interpretation of Accounting Principal Board No. 25. This interpretation
clarifies:

     o    the definition of employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, which
          deals with stock compensation issues;

     o    the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
          noncompensatory plan;

     o    the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a
          previously fixed stock option or award; and

                                       8
<PAGE>


     o    the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a
          business combination.

The interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in this
interpretation cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998,
or January 12, 2000. To the extent that this interpretation covers events
occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000, but
before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying this
interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. We
believe that the adoption of FIN 44 will not have a material impact on our
financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     The statements contained in this document that are not purely historical
are forward-looking statements concerning the business and our products. Actual
results may differ from those projected or implied by such forward-looking
statements depending on a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, the following: market acceptance of our products and services, the
amount of resources we devote to investments in our products, the resources we
devote to marketing and selling our services and our brand promotions and other
factors. Other risks inherent in our business are described in the our
prospectus dated February 17, 1999 on Form SB-2. We undertake no obligation to
revise or update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof.

OVERVIEW

     We invested significant resources in sales, marketing and product
development activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. We believe our
success depends largely on building superior technology and quality into our
products, extending our technological lead on the competition, development of
new products and developing brand recognition early in a product's life cycle.
Accordingly, we expect to continue spending heavily on these activities in the
near future. Despite these heavy investments in marketing and product
development, growth in software license fees and service revenue may not occur
in the future. In light of our limited operating history, rapid changes in
technology and increased marketing of its products, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results, including
our gross profit and operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues,
are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of
future performance.

     We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from
operations since inception, and as of June 30, 2000, had an accumulated deficit
of $24,183,877. We intend to continue to invest heavily in marketing and
promotion, expanding our sales operations, and technology development. As a
result, we believe we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash
flows from operations for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to achieve or sustain revenue growth, profitability, or positive
cash flow on either a quarterly or annual basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 TO THE
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

   REVENUES

     Revenues increased to $1,608,421 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from
$111,956 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase of $1,496,465 or
1,336.7% was the result of our sales force expansion which contributed to
increases in software license sales, as well as an increase in publishing
services provided due an expanded customer base and continued sales to previous
customers. Software license revenues accounted for approximately 36.5% and 45.3%
of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Services
revenues accounted for approximately 63.5% and 54.7% of revenues for the
quarters ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. One customer
accounted for 31.6% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 while a
separate customer accounted for 22.3% of revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, revenues increased to $2,643,865
from $288,835 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase of $2,355,030
or 815.4% was again the result of our continued sales force expansion and the
resulting increase in both software license sales and

                                       10
<PAGE>


publishing services revenue. Software license revenues accounted for
approximately 37.7% and 49.5% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Services revenues accounted for approximately 62.3% and
50.5% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
One customer accounted for 30.1% of revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2000.





   COST OF REVENUES

     Cost of revenues consist primarily of the cost of labor, materials,
overhead, freight and applicable labor incurred for the delivery of the product
or service. Costs of revenues increased to $527,603, or 32.8% of revenues, for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $34,672, or 30.1% of revenues, for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase was due to increased labor, benefits
cost and overhead costs associated with the increase in services revenue during
the quarter.

     Costs of revenues increased to $1,004,613, or 38.0% of revenues, for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from $90,233, or 31.2% of revenues, for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was due to increased labor,
benefits and increased overhead costs associated with the increase in services
revenue during the six month period.



   OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of general and administrative
salaries, taxes and benefits and related costs for general corporate functions,
including executive management, finance, accounting, facilities, legal,
professional services and depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $2,485,877 for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 from $1,300,357 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase was
primarily due to the increase in infrastructure and additional salary costs due
primarily to our expanded sales and marketing personnel. We expect that selling,
general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we
continue to invest in expanded marketing activities and incur expense related to
the growth of the business; however, selling, general and administrative expense
are presently anticipated to decline as a percentage of revenues.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $4,317,220 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $2,346,313 for the same period in 1999.
The increase was primarily due to increased spending on additional personnel,
sales and marketing required to build an infrastructure to support our products
and anticipated growth.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
consist of expenditures related to technology and software development expenses.
Research and development expenses increased to $344,855 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 from $221,104 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The increase
was primarily due to the increased level of personnel utilized in product
development. We believe that significant investments in technology and content
development are required to maintain a technological lead and remain competitive
and, therefore, we expect that our research and development expenses will
increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future; however, research and
development expenses are presently anticipated to decline as a percentage of
revenues.

     Research and development expenses increased to $647,983 for the six months
ended June 30,

                                       11
<PAGE>


2000 from $355,567 for the same period in 1999. The increase was primarily due
to increased spending on additional personnel.

     OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE), NET. Other income includes income earned from the
short term investments of cash balances. Other expense includes amortization of
premiums and discounts and gains and losses on sales of investments and interest
expense related to our financing obligations in 1999. Other income decreased to
$13,725 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $118,105 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. The decrease in income was primarily due to reduced interest
income from due to decreases in short term investments.

     Other income was $47,066 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
other expense of $59,419 for the same period in 1999. The increase in income and
reduction of expense was due to the debt reduction in February 1999 and the
interest income from short term investments.

     EXTRAORDINARY ITEM. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, we recorded an
extraordinary charge of $3,672,656 associated with the extinguishment of debt.

     NET LOSS. For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, our net loss totaled
$1,736,189 as compared to $1,326,162 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

     The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $3,278,885 as
compared to $6,235,353 for the same period in 1999.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On February 22, 1999, we completed an initial public offering of 1,200,000
units, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one redeemable
warrant, and received aggregate proceeds of $18,120,000 and net proceeds of
$14,596,446. On March 30, 1999 we completed the exercise by the underwriter of
the over-allotment option of 113,312 units and received aggregate proceeds of
$1,711,011 and net proceeds of $1,513,590. During the period from completion of
the offering through June 30, 2000, we have used approximately (1) $4,489,000 of
the proceeds to repay notes; (2) $1,653,000 for product development expenses;
(3) $4,421,000 for sales and marketing expenses; (4) $2,490,000 for facilities
and other capital expenditures; and (5) $2,380,000 for working capital and
general corporate purposes.

     On July 31, 2000 we completed an offering of 2.5 million shares of common
stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $10.0 million.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $3,016,671 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $4,049,343 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The decrease in use of cash from operations was primarily due to cash used
to pay accounts payable and accrued interest for the six months ended June
30,1999.

     Cash provided by investing activities was $2,162,858 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to cash used in investing activities of
$8,417,149 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 resulting primarily from the
sale of short-term securities.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $325,761 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $13,075,029 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The decrease was primarily due to the net proceeds received from the
completion of our initial public offering and the underwriter's exercise of its
over-allotment option in 1999, while only minor exercises of outstanding
warrants and options took place in 2000.

     Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including market
acceptance of our

                                       12
<PAGE>


products and services, the amount of resources we devote to investments in our
products, the resources we devote to marketing and selling our services and our
brand promotions and other factors. We have experienced a substantial increase
in our operations and capital expenditures since our inception consistent with
the growth in our operations and staffing, and anticipate that this will
continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, we will continue to evaluate
possible investments in businesses, products and technologies, and plan to
expand our sales and marketing programs and conduct more aggressive brand
promotions.

     We currently anticipate that current cash balances, short-term investments
and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs
for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve
months.

              Deadline for Future Proposals of Stockholders

              Proposals that a stockholder desires to have included in Digital
              Lava's proxy materials for the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
              of Digital Lava must comply with the applicable rules and
              regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
              that any such proposal must be received by the Secretary of
              Digital Lava at its principal office no later than December 31,
              2000.

              Digital Lava's Amended and Restated Bylaws, which were adopted by
              Digital Lava on July 20, 2000, require a stockholder to give
              advance notice of any business, including the nomination of
              candidates for the Board of Directors, that the stockholder wishes
              to bring before a meeting of stockholders of Digital Lava. In
              general, for business to be brought before an annual meeting by a
              stockholder, written notice of the stockholder proposal or
              nomination must be received by the Secretary of Digital Lava not
              less than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the anniversary of
              the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if
              the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more
              than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice must be received
              by the Secretary not earlier than 120 days before such annual
              meeting, and not later than 90 days before such annual meeting or
              10 days following the first public announcement of such meeting
              date. With respect to stockholder proposals, the stockholder's
              notice to the Secretary of Digital Lava must contain a brief
              description of the business to be brought before the meeting and
              the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, as well
              as certain other information set forth in Digital Lava's Amended
              and Restated Bylaws and/or required by law. With respect to the
              nomination of a candidate for the Board of Directors by a
              stockholder, the stockholder's notice to the Secretary must
              contain certain information set forth in Digital Lava's Amended
              and Restated Bylaws about both the nominee and the

                                       14

              stockholder making the nomination.

              If a stockholder desires to have a proposal included in Digital
              Lava's proxy materials for the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
              and desires to have such proposal brought before the same annual
              meeting, the stockholder must comply with both sets of procedures
              described in the two immediately preceding paragraphs. Any
              required written notices should be sent to Digital Lava Inc.,
