2.       DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY:

COMPANY FORMATION AND FINANCIAL REORGANIZATION

         I-Storm is an e-commerce business integrator, consultant, solution
seller and technology re-seller to middle market companies in select markets who
have the opportunity to leverage their brand and distribution capabilities over
the Internet. The Company is headquartered in Mountain View, California and
currently leases an 11,500 square foot office facility. The Company's lease will
expire in February 2000, and the Company is currently seeking a new leased
office facility.

         I-Storm was created through the merger of LVL Communications
Corporation ("LVL") and Digital Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Digital Power Holding Company ("Digital"), a Nevada public shell
corporation, on July 17, 1998, resulting in LVL becoming a wholly owned
subsidiary of Digital. Digital has been renamed "I-Storm, Inc." The merger was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method with LVL being
the surviving entity.

         On March 23, 1998, LVL and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, LVL
Advertising, Inc. ("LVLA"), and LVL Interactive, Inc. ("LVLI"), filed a
voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of California ("Bankruptcy Court") seeking protection under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Chapter 11 proceedings of the Companies were
jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court. LVL and its subsidiaries operated
their business as debtors-in-possession, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval
for certain transactions, while they developed a reorganization plan to
restructure LVL. On April 16, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the First
Amended Plan of Reorganization ("POR") which became effective on July 17, 1998.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

         The Chapter 11 proceedings significantly affected I-Storm's capital
structure, liquidity and capital resources. During 1998 and 1999, the Company's
operations generated substantial losses, and the Company has been operating at a
substantial loss in the first nine months of year 2000. I-Storm expects that in
the near term, it will continue to sustain losses from operations (before giving
effect to the non-cash charges that it will incur with respect to the
amortization of a $2.8 million bankruptcy Reorganization Asset through the year
2008.

         The Company is in the development stage, has yet to generate any
significant revenues and has no assurance of future revenues. The Company is
subject to the risks and challenges associated with other companies at a similar
stage of development, including, but not limited to: dependence on key
individuals, successful development, marketing and sales of products and
services, and competition from larger companies with greater financial,
technical, management, marketing, and sales resources; a limited operating
history as a reorganized entity; significant concentration of revenue from a few
customers; highly competitive markets with limited barriers to entry; and
implementation of its E-Commence partnership concept.

         In order to achieve successful operations, the Company will require
additional capital to sustain and expand its business. I-Storm is currently
seeking additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that I-Storm
will be able to obtain financing or that the terms of the financing will be
favorable to I-Storm. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of
I-Storm to continue as a going concern and about the ability of I-Storm to
realize its Reorganization Asset. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
the activities of I-Storm and its wholly-owned subsidiary after elimination of
all intercompany accounts and transactions.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

AMORTIZATION OF REORGANIZATION ASSET

         At July 17, 1998, the reorganization value of I-Storm in excess of its
net assets was determined to be $3,131,000. This intangible asset was classified
as a reorganization asset ("Reorganization Asset") in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets of I-Storm and will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over ten years. Pursuant to Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code," the
Reorganization Asset was determined by discounting future cash flows for I-Storm
at rates reflecting the business and financial risks involved and it
approximates the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets of the Company
immediately after the restructuring. The carrying value of the Reorganization
Asset will be reviewed periodically for impairment, and if the facts and
circumstances suggest that it may not be recoverable, as determined based on the
undiscounted cash flows of I-Storm over the remaining amortization period, the
carrying value of the Reorganization Asset will be adjusted in accordance with
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." As of December 31, 1999, the
reorganization value, after accounting for amortization, was $2,879,000, and as
of September 30, 2000 was $2,625,000.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         The Company recognizes service revenues at the time services are
performed. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance
period. On fixed price contracts, revenues are recorded using the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting by relating contract costs
incurred to date to total estimated contract costs at completion. Contract costs
include both direct and indirect costs. Contract losses are provided for in
their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the
percentage-of-completion.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 and related
interpretations summarize the SEC's view in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company is
required to apply the guidance in SAB No. 101 to the financial statements no
later than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company currently is reviewing
the impact of SAB No. 101 on the revenue recognition policy and the related
impact on the consolidated financial statements. At this time, the Company does
not believe SAB No. 101 will have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations.

        In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving
Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" (FIN 44). FIN 44
is effective July 1, 2000. The interpretation clarifies the application of APB
Opinion No. 25 for certain issues, specifically, (a) the definition of an
employee, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to
the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting
for an exchange or stock compensation awards in a business combination. The
adoption of FIN 44 had no material impact on our financial position or the
results of our operations.

4.       EQUITY FUNDING

         In August of 2000, I-Storm raised net proceeds from iVisionary Venture,
LLC of $500,000 in connection with the issuance of 40,816 shares of Series D
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D") offered in a Regulation D
private placement at par value of $0.01 per share for an offering price of
$12.25 per share. The Series D shares shall receive a quarterly cumulative
dividend at 9% per annum, payable in cash or Series D preferred stock at the
option of the Board of Directors and shall be convertible into common stock at a
conversion price of not greater than $3.50 per share and not less than $2.80 per
share.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

          The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was approximately $3,030,000, compared to a loss of $3,986,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $956,000 or 24%. The Company's
net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $735,000 as compared
to a net loss of $1,573,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease in net loss of approximately $838,000 was caused primarily by
increased revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and the issuance of
common stock to consultants in lieu of cash for $674,000 that occurred during
the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

         Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were
$1,156,000 and $546,000, respectively, an increase of $610,000 or 112%. This
increase was due to several factors including the development of Nbobs.com
e-commerce platform and business planning services for LESCO, JC Whitney,
Norstan and Computer Associates. Gross margin for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $262,000 and ($420,000),
respectively.

         Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were
$838,000 and $209,000, respectively, an increase of $629,000 or 301%. Gross
profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 were
approximately $235,000 and $(210,000) respectively. The increase in gross margin
was primarily a result of the Company shifting from advertising revenues to
e-commerce web development.

         Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 were $3,278,000 and $3,501,000, respectively. The decrease in operating
expenses of approximately $223,000 was due to the stock compensation expense for
common stock issued to consultants in lieu of cash recognized in last year's
operating expenses.

         Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 were $961,000 and $1,383,000, respectively. The decrease in operating
expenses of approximately $422,000 from quarter to quarter was due to the stock
compensation expense for common stock issued to consultants in lieu of cash
recognized in last year's operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 2000, the Company had no cash or cash equivalents and
current assets of $1,157,000 as compared with $298,000 at December 31, 1999. The
increase in current assets was due to a prepaid software license from
PurchasePro.com, Inc. for $500,000 and receivables from our e-commerce
development and business planning services.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company owed $194,000 in long term notes
payable, $228,000 in current notes payable and a bank overdraft of $37,000.
Included in current notes payable were a promissory notes for $100,000 and a
factoring liability of $87,000 with a lender secured by the Company's accounts
receivable and other assets as of September 30, 2000. The Company is in
compliance with all covenants of the factoring agreement as of September 30,
2000.

ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND COMPANY PLANS

         The company has plans to raise additional capital through corporate
partners, as well as venture capital investors. We are supplementing our
business model which was an equity sharing model with cash generating model that
involves cash and revenue sharing for our services

SALES OF UNREGISTERED STOCK

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING OF THE SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK

         In July 2000, I-Storm, Inc. closed a stock purchase agreement with
Purchase Pro.com, Inc. ("Purchase Pro") (Nasdaq: PPRO), a leading provider of
Internet business-to-business electronic commerce services. Under the terms of
the stock purchase agreement, Purchase Pro made an equity investment of
$1,000,000, which was prepaid in June 2000, by purchasing 81,633 shares of
I-Storm's Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred
Stock") at a price of $12.25 per share.

         I-Visionary Ventures, LLC ("I-Visionary") entered into a Series D Stock
Purchase Agreement with I-Storm. I-Visionary initially purchased 40,816 newly
issued shares of I-Storm Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $12.25 per
share, for an aggregate cash investment of $500,000. I-Visionary, an accredited
investor, made the purchase pursuant to the provisions of Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933. The Series D Preferred Stock is subject to certain
demands and piggy-back registration rights as set forth in the I-Storm Series D
Preferred Stock Registration Rights Agreement.

         The Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to receive a quarterly
dividend of $0.28 (9% per annum) on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November
15, of each year, payable in cash or, at the option of the Company, in Series D
Preferred Stock of the Company, when and as declared by the Board of Directors.
The right of the Series D Preferred Stock to payment of either cash of Series D
preferred stock dividends is subordinate to the right to cash or stock dividend
payments of the Series A Preferred Stock, and then to the Series B Preferred
Stock; and is PARI PASSU with the right of the Series C Preferred Stock to cash
or stock dividend payments. The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into
shares of the Company's Common Stock: (i) at the option of the holder, any time
after the purchase closing date, (ii) and by the Company four years after the
purchase closing date, into such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
as shall equal $12.25 divided by the lower of (i) $3.50, or (ii) the closing bid
price for any five consecutive trading days during the period commencing eleven
months after the purchase closing and ending one month thereafter (the
"Conversion Price"), however, in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced
below $2.80. The Conversion Price is also subject to further adjustment to
prevent dilution.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT NOTE OFFERING

         On September 18, 2000, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

         None

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The Board of Directors approved on September 13, 2000 the circulation
of separate shareholder consent requests to each of the classes of Series A, B
and C Preferred Stock to obtain each classes' consent to the conversion of its
class from Preferred Stock to Common Stock under the terms set forth in each
classes' respective Certificate of Designation. Such consent requires a majority
consent by the Series A Preferred Stock class to convert the Series A Preferred
Stock into Common Stock; a 66 2/3% consent by the Series B Preferred Stock class
to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and a 66 2/3% consent
by the Series C Preferred Stock to convert the Series C Preferred Stock into
Common Stock. The Board of Directors approved an additional year's dividends
commencing as of November 15, 2000 to any of the classes that choose to convert.
As of October 25, 2000, the Company had completed a mailing of applicable
consent requests to the holders of the Company's A, B and C Preferred Stock.

         The conversion of one class of preferred stock is not dependent upon
obtaining the consent of any other class. Currently the Series A Preferred Stock
Class has dividend, liquidation and redemption rights superior to the rights of
the Series B and C Preferred Stock and the Common Stock Classes. The Series B
Preferred Stock has dividend, liquidation and redemption rights superior to the
rights of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock has
dividend, liquidation and redemption rights on a pari passu basis with the
Series D Preferred Stock and on a superior basis to the Common Stock. The Series
D Preferred Stock, currently held by three strategic alliance partners of the
Company, Computer Associates International, Inc., PurchasePro.com, Inc. and
I-Visionary Ventures, LLC, are not being asked by the Company to convert at this
time. Each of the purchases of the Series D Preferred Stock have been made in
2000 at a purchase price of $12.25 per share with conversion ratios identical to
those of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. The Company intends to raise
additional funds through further offerings of Series D Preferred Stock.
