FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     The forward-looking statements included in this report, which reflect
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
the forward-looking statements included herein as a result of a number of
factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 7, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"
incorporated by reference to pages 12 through 21 of the Company's Annual Report
to Stockholders.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

     Digital Impact was incorporated in California in October 1997 and
reincorporated in Delaware in October 1999. We offer internet direct marketing
services, or eMarketing, services to businesses that wish to communicate more
effectively with their customers online through digital messages. We combine
proprietary technologies, rigorous business processes and expertise developed
over thousands of eMarketing campaigns to provide a comprehensive, outsourced
internet direct marketing solution. The services we provide are designed to
maximize our clients' return on their marketing investment.

     Our core set of services includes eMarketing campaign management, targeting
and one-to-one personalization, media optimization, campaign tracking and
reporting, and data hosting and management. We sell these services under the
name Merchant Mail. In addition, during fiscal year 2000, we introduced two new
customer acquisition programs, Forward to a Friend and Email Exchange. Forward
to a Friend allows our clients to track and analyze emails they have sent to
their customers who then forward these emails to their friends or colleagues.
Email Exchange is a cooperative marketing network that allows our clients to
acquire new customers. We also continue to offer customer data analysis and
strategic consulting services as part of our eMarketing solutions.

     During fiscal year 2000, we formed a number of strategic alliances to
strengthen and expand our market reach. In August 1999, we formed an alliance
with Harte-Hanks, Inc. ("Harte-Hanks"), a global firm that offers direct
marketing services to leading companies in a wide variety of industries. Under
this alliance, we offer privately labeled eMarketing services to the clients of
Harte-Hanks. In February 2000, we established an alliance with Impiric, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Young & Rubicam, whereby Digital Impact will be the
exclusive provider of eMarketing services to all of Impiric's worldwide clients,
as well as the preferred provider to the clients of other Young & Rubicam
companies. Additionally, in April 2000, we announced an alliance with WebTV
Networks, Inc. ("WebTV"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft. Under this
agreement, Digital Impact is providing a private label version of our Email
Exchange platform to WebTV Networks. This has been branded as DealMail.

SERVICES

     We provide comprehensive services for executing personalized eMarketing
campaigns designed to enable our clients to acquire and retain online customers.
Our primary suite of eMarketing services, Merchant Mail, is sold as a single
service and currently consists of the following components:

     - eMarketing campaign management.

     - Targeting and one-to-one personalization.

     - Media optimization.

     - Campaign tracking and reporting.

     - Data hosting and management.

                                        2
<PAGE>   3

     We also provide other customer acquisition programs such as Email Exchange,
Forward to a Friend, and DealMail.

  eMarketing Campaign Management

     We assign each client a client services manager, an eMarketing specialist
who applies our extensive domain expertise and methodologies, to manage that
client's email campaigns. The campaign management process includes:

     - Establishing rules for email personalization based upon each recipient's
       profile and email software environment.

     - Checking the quality of each email across over 30 email software
       packages.

     - Applying our accumulated knowledge base to analyze the results of each
       campaign.

     - Managing and ensuring the integrity of data transfers with our clients.

  Targeting and One-to-One Personalization

     We create targeted email messages for each customer based on our clients'
eMarketing objectives. Our targeting and personalization capabilities include:

     - Matching a particular email offer to the appropriate group of recipients
       based on a pre-defined set of marketing parameters determined by our
       clients. For example, in a recent campaign we created emails containing
       gardening advice tailored to customers' gardening topic preferences.

     - Dynamically assembling unique emails using sophisticated algorithms and
       statistical models to predict the content most relevant to each
       recipient. For example, we assembled and delivered 35,000 unique emails,
       each featuring six different products from a pool of 3,000 possible
       choices. The six products and the order in which they were presented to
       each customer were determined on the basis of the customer's purchase
       behavior, self-reported preferences and demographic profile.

  Media Optimization

     We use our media sensor technology to determine the optimal graphical
format for each recipient's media channel or email software environment. This
technology enables us to deliver email at the highest level of graphics and
interaction currently available to the recipient, including:

     - Plain text emails with universal resource locator, or URL, links.

     - Plain text emails with hyperlinked words that are blue and underlined.

     - Emails tailored for subscribers of America Online with hyperlinked words
       and font formatting.

     - Hypertext markup language, or HTML, emails with advanced graphical
       elements.

     - Dynamic HTML and Java-based email with interactive capabilities greater
       than HTML.

     - Emails delivered over the set-top box medium.

  Campaign Tracking and Reporting

     We monitor and report the performance of our clients' email campaigns. The
data is collected at the individual customer level and includes the number and
percentage of:

     - Emails delivered.

     - Emails rejected.

     - Emails opened.

     - Click throughs per campaign, per recipient and per specific offer.

     - Email replies from customers.
                                        3
<PAGE>   4

  Data Hosting and Management

     We collect, warehouse and manage key marketing elements of our clients'
customer information. In total, we manage over 50 million unique opt-in consumer
profiles. Our data hosting and management services include:

     - Maintaining the integrity of our clients' email lists by purging
       undeliverable addresses, correcting invalid addresses and eliminating
       duplicate records.

     - Developing and hosting web pages that transparently integrate with a
       client's web site and that allow consumers to enter and update their
       profile and subscription information.

     - Capturing and processing real-time campaign response data at the
       individual recipient level, including the recipient's email software
       environment, whether the email was successfully delivered and opened and
       which items were clicked on within the email.

     - Automatically handling campaign email replies, including unsubscribe
       requests, vacation notices, undeliverable messages, and forwarding of
       customer service requests.

CUSTOMER ACQUISITION PROGRAMS

     During fiscal year 2000, we introduced several customer acquisition
programs: Email Exchange, Forward to a Friend, and DealMail. Email Exchange is a
cooperative marketing network that offers placement of a client's brand in front
of other online shoppers. Forward to a Friend allows our clients to track and
analyze emails they have sent to their customers who then forward these emails
to their friends or colleagues. Finally, DealMail is a strategic relationship
with WebTV where WebTV subscribers receive offers and promotions from Digital
Impact merchants and other WebTV merchants.

ANALYSIS

     Our database is continually updated with each eMarketing campaign with
customer demographic, purchase, and online behavioral data. We aggregate this
data and report it to our clients along with recommendations going forward. For
clients with more advanced research needs, we provide customized professional
services that aim to develop the current capabilities of our clients, help them
penetrate new vertical markets, and deepen their marketing expertise.

CLIENTS

     Our clients consist of a diverse group of companies operating in many
industries throughout the United States, ranging from Fortune 1000 to small
private companies. For the year ended March 31, 2000, no single customer
accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues or accounts receivable.

COMPETITION

     The market for eMarketing services is highly competitive, rapidly evolving
and experiences rapid technological change. We expect competition to increase
significantly in the future because of the attention the internet has received
as a means of advertising and direct marketing and because there are limited
barriers to entry into our market.

     We believe that the factors on which we successfully compete include:

     - Credibility of clients and their willingness to act as references.

     - Quality of eMarketing services.

     - Technology-enhanced service offerings.

     - Sophistication and reliability of technology.

     - Speed of implementation of eMarketing campaigns.

     - Cost-effective eMarketing solutions.

     - Measurable results.

                                        4
<PAGE>   5

     Although we believe that our solution currently competes favorably as to
each of these factors, our market is relatively new and is evolving rapidly. We
may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and
potential competitors.

     Our principal competitors include providers of eMarketing solutions such as
Exactis.com (which recently announced that it will be acquired by 24/7 Media
Inc.), Kana Communications, Inc. Kana Connect product, FloNetwork (formerly
Media Synergy), MessageMedia, Responsys.com, Netcentives Inc. (through its
acquisition of Post Communications), and Annuncio Software, Inc.; and the
in-house information technology departments of our existing and prospective
clients.

     We may experience additional competition from internet service providers,
advertising and direct marketing agencies and other large established businesses
such as America Online, DoubleClick, Microsoft, IBM, AT&T, Yahoo!, ADVO, CMGI,
Inc., and the Interpublic Group of Companies. Each of these companies possess
large, existing customer bases, substantial financial resources and established
distribution channels and could develop, market or resell a number of eMarketing
services. These potential competitors may also choose to enter the market for
eMarketing services by acquiring one of our existing competitors or by forming
strategic alliances with these competitors. Any of these occurrences could harm
our ability to compete effectively.

     Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating
histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases, more diversified
lines of products and services and significantly greater resources than we have.
These competitors may be able to devote significant resources to sales and
marketing, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and deliver superior
solutions. In addition, many of our current or potential competitors have broad
distribution channels that may be used to bundle competing products or services.
If such competitors bundle competing products or services, the demand for our
services could substantially decline. As a result, we cannot assure you that we
will compete effectively with our current or future competitors or that
competitive pressures will not harm our business.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

     Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our
technology and intellectual property. While we rely on copyright, trade secret
and trademark law to protect our technology and intellectual property, we
believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our
personnel, new service developments and frequent service enhancements are more
essential to establishing and maintaining an intellectual property leadership
position. We have two U.S. patent applications pending and two U.S. trademark
applications pending.

     We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and
consultants. Our confidentiality agreements generally require our employees and
consultants to hold in confidence and not disclose any of our proprietary
information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary information,
unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain and use our proprietary information.
Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary information is difficult, and the
steps we have taken might not prevent misappropriation, particularly in foreign
countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do
the laws of the United States.

     We have filed for trademark protection for the mark Digital Impact in the
European Community, which includes the following member countries: Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. We have also
filed for trademark protection for the mark Digital Impact in Japan. Other than
these actions, we have not taken substantial additional steps to protect our
intellectual property in jurisdictions other than the United States.

     We collect and use data derived from our clients. This creates the
potential for claims to be made against us, either directly or through
contractual indemnification provisions with customers, including copyright or
trademark infringement, invasion of privacy or other legal theories. Although we
carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims
of this type or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may
be imposed.

                                        5

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     Legislation has recently been enacted in several states restricting the
sending of unsolicited commercial email. The federal government and several
other states are considering, or have considered, similar legislation. Although
the provisions of these current and contemplated laws vary, they generally limit
or prohibit both the transmission of unsolicited commercial emails and the use
of forged or fraudulent routing and header information. Some states, including
California, require that unsolicited emails include opt-out instructions and
that senders of such emails honor any opt-out requests. We believe that our
current suite of services will not be affected by such legislation because we do
not send unsolicited commercial email. We cannot assure you that future
legislation or the application of existing legislation will not harm our
business.

EMPLOYEES

     As of March 31, 2000, we had a total of 236 full-time employees. Of the
total number of employees, 75 were engaged in research and development, 41 in
sales, marketing and business development, 96 in account management,
professional services, production and technical support and 24 in finance,
administration and operations. Our future performance depends in significant
part upon the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior
management personnel. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability
to attract, train and retain highly qualified technical, sales and managerial
personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to
retain our key personnel in the future. None of our employees is represented by
a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our
relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     Our principal executive offices are located in San Mateo, California, where
we lease approximately 32,000 square feet under three leases that expire in
dates ranging from 2002 to 2005. Digital Impact also leases office space in New
York for local sales and client service personnel.

Fiscal Year 2000:
  Third quarter (from November 23, 1999)...................  $65.00    $33.00
  Fourth quarter...........................................  $58.00    $27.63
</TABLE>

     As of March 31, 2000, the approximate number of common stockholders of
record was 90.

     Digital Impact has not paid any cash dividends on its capital stock.
Digital Impact currently intends to retain its earnings to fund the development
and growth of its business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

     (b) Report of offering securities and use of proceeds therefrom:

     On November 23, 1999, we completed our initial public offering of 5,175,000
shares of our common stock, which includes 675,000 shares in connection with the
exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option, at $15 per share. The
managing underwriters in the offering were Credit Suisse First Boston; Hambrecht
& Quist; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette; and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. The
shares of common stock sold in the offering were registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No.
333-87299) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
on November 22, 1999. The aggregate offering amount including the overallotment
exercise was approximately $77.6 million. We incurred expenses of approximately
$6.8 million, of which approximately $5.4 million represented underwriting
discounts and commissions and approximately $1.4 million represented other
expenses related to the offering.

     Currently, we have placed the net proceeds from the offering in short-term,
interest bearing, investment grade securities. During the fourth quarter, we
used a portion of the net proceeds to fund our general operations. We expect to
use the remaining offering net proceeds for working capital and general
corporate purposes, including continued investment in the development of our
current and future eMarketing services, the expansion of our sales and marketing
activities, and investment in our infrastructure. Additionally, we may use a
portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary products,
technologies, or businesses.
