FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT Board of Directors Digital Fuel, Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Digital Fuel, Inc. as of June 30, 2003, and the related condensed statements of operations and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes payable, other: Short-term: Townsdin, 9%, unsecured, due on demand $200,000 Torrance, 9%, unsecured, due on demand 50,000 ------- $250,000 ======= The short-term notes were entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2000, and provided the Company with working capital. Under the terms of the short-term notes, upon completion of the recapitalization, the Company issued to Townsdin 200,000 shares and Torrance 50,000 shares at par value of the Company's post recapitalization common stock. Management believes that these shares have nominal market value based on various factors including the Company's financial position and the fact that there is no current market for the Company's stock. Additionally, Townsdin and Torrance had the option to convert through December 31, 2000, all or part of any outstanding principal to post recapitalization Units at the rate of $1.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock and one share of 8% preferred stock. 4. Option to purchase shares of SiteScape: In February 2000, the Company exercised the remaining one-half of its SiteScape option shares and purchased 258,333 shares of Preferred Stock for $500,000. At completion of the above-described transactions, the Company owned 516,667 shares of SiteScape, Inc.'s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), which represents approximately 20% of the voting stock of SiteScape. The Preferred Stock has, among other rights, the right to vote on general matters, the ability of a 1:1 conversion into Class A Voting Common Stock of SiteScape, dividend participation with common shares, and the right to elect two members to the Board of Directors of SiteScape. The Preferred Stock is to be automatically converted to common stock if SiteScape completes an initial public offering and realizes at least $20,000,000. F-9 DIGITAL FUEL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 4. Option to purchase shares of SiteScape (continued): The Preferred stock is also entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by SiteScape's Board of Directors, at the cumulative rate of 8% per year compounded annually. Dividends are due only if declared by the Board of Directors and the tangible net worth of SiteScape exceeds $25 million. SiteScape is an Internet-based start-up company that acquired AltaVista FORUM from Compaq Computer in April 1999. FORUM is a collaboration software, which provides ways to communicate, share resources, and collaborate with groups of people within a company or across organizations. SiteScape is currently engaged in research and development and marketing and advertising efforts to expand and grow their customer base. The Company has and will continue to regularly review the assumptions underlying the operation performance and cash flow forecasts of SiteScape to assess the investment's recoverability. Although SiteScape has revenues, it has operated at a loss. There are no assurances that SiteScape will achieve profitability or that its existing cash balances and cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements. SiteScape continues to consume cash as it executes its business plan. During the second quarter of 2000, these circumstances indicated that the Company should charge a portion of SiteScape's research and development and marketing and advertising expenses against the carrying value of its investment. Therefore, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $57,420 for research and development expenses and a charge of $203,580 for marketing and advertising expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $94,050 for research and development expenses and a charge of $610,950 for marketing and advertising expenses. As of June 30, 2000, these charges reduced the carry value of the Company's investment to zero. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, SiteScape has continued to operate at a loss. 5. Stock Purchase Agreement: Per the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, certain liabilities of Deucalion were settled including $38,836 owed for legal fees and $93,412 owed for management service fees. These liabilities were settled through the issuance of common stock equal to 1/2% or 10,538 shares and 1% or 21,076 shares, respectively, after completion of the reincorporation, recapitalization, and merger. Effective August 31, 1999, the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Michael Farley and Forrest Metz was closed. Under the agreement, Farley and Metz purchased 2,002,226 shares of common stock for $110,000. Effective August 31, 1999, the Company issued 147,766 shares in exchange for $100,000 and after the reincorporation, recapitalization, and merger, the purchasers were issued 1,855,460 additional shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for the $10,000 in debt due to them. F-10 DIGITAL FUEL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 6. Extraordinary Income: From 1992 until July 1999 the Company was inactive. The current management embarked on settling certain outstanding payables that were on the books in 1999. During the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the three months ended September 30, 2000, the company settled accounts payable with a carrying value of $42,370 for $6,500, resulting in extraordinary income from the extinguishment of debt of $35,870. The Company's net tax loss carryforward was reduced by this $35,870 gain. In December 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with the original license holders from whom we purchased the license agreements in late 1999. Because the Company was unable to successfully use this technology, the licenses were returned to the original owners and the $45,000 financed by the original owners was forgiven. In addition, the $205,000 due to the licensor, M2Direct, Inc., for services that were never provided but charged on the Company's books as an expense in 1999, was reversed resulting in recognition of $205,000 of income in 2000. The $45,000 due the original licensees was also recorded as income in 2000. The Company has an agreement with the current licensees that should the legal problems surrounding the licenses ever be resolved, the Company would have the option to re-purchase the licenses under new terms and conditions. 7. Accrued salaries: For the year ended December 31, 2000, $165,000.00 of salary was accrued for Mr. Farley and $91,666.63 of salary was accrued for Mr. Papanikolas. 8. Income taxes: At December 31, 2002, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $4,115,000, which is available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2021. Based on statutory rates, the Company's expected tax benefit arising from the net operating loss carryforward is approximately $1,399,000. A valuation allowance has been provided to reduce the deferred tax asset, as realization of the asset is not assured. In addition, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses due to the Company's ownership changes that occurred in 1999.

For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intent," "could," "estimate," "might," or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including uncertainty related to the registrant's operations, mergers or acquisitions, governmental regulations, the value of the registrant's assets and any other factors discussed in this and other registrant filings with the Securities and Exchange commission. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation. Plan of Operation Management will actively seek to acquire companies involved in the software development business and/or Internet business. Because of the difficulty in raising working capital, management believes there are a number of small companies seeking an opportunity to expand their ability to raise capital by becoming part of Digital Fuel. The Company plans to work with several investment banking firms that can help us actively seek companies that fit Digital Fuel's requirement. SiteScape, Inc. Investment Effective September 1, 1999, the new management completed an agreement with Farley & Associates, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("F & A"), wholly owned by Michael R. Farley who is also chief executive officer, a director and a majority shareholder of Digital Fuel, whereby Digital Fuel acquired from F & A an option to purchase 516,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of SiteScape, Inc. ("SiteScape"). Digital Fuel acquired this option in exchange for a $200,000 draw on a multiple advance promissory note extended to the Company by F & A of up to $800,000, bearing interest at 9% and due on 12 demand (the "F & A Note"). The option to purchase the SiteScape preferred stock was originally agreed to through negotiations between F & A and SiteScape and allows F & A (or its designee) to purchase 516,667 shares of SiteScape preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.9354 per share. The $200,000 represents reimbursement of travel and other direct expenses incurred by F & A in connection with their negotiations with SiteScape and also a fee for F & A's services. The $200,000 has been recorded as general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations. SiteScape is an Internet-based start-up company that acquired AltaVista FORUM from Compaq Computer in April 1999. FORUM is collaboration software that provides ways to communicate, share resources, and collaborate with groups of people within a company or across organizations. Prior to September 1999, F & A provided $400,000 to SiteScape as a deposit on the option to purchase the preferred stock. On September 1, 1999, Digital Fuel acquired F & A's rights to this deposit in exchange for a $400,000 draw on the F & A Note. Effective November 5, 1999, Digital Fuel exercised one-half of the SiteScape option shares and purchased 258,334 shares of preferred stock at a total cost of $500,000. Digital Fuel paid $100,000 cash directly to SiteScape, and applied the $400,000 SiteScape deposit described above. In February 2000, we exercised the remaining one-half of the SiteScape option shares and purchased 258,333 shares of preferred stock for $500,000. Digital Fuel now owns approximately 20% of the voting stock of SiteScape. On June 30, 2001, SiteScape issued to Digital Fuel options to purchase 103,338 shares of its common stock at $1.93 per share. Based on the SAIC investment described below, the common shares of SiteScape have a value substantially less than the option price. In October of 2001, SiteScape received a term sheet from SAIC Venture Capital Corporation to purchase up to $2.5 million of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On March 18, 2002 the first transaction was closed. The Series B stock sold to the new investors will be senior to Digital Fuel's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in both payment of dividends and distribution. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was sold for $.4164 per share and will be redeemed for $0.6246 per share or 1.5 times the original investment. As part of the investment agreement, the domicile of SiteScape was changed to Delaware and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was split 5 for 1. Digital Fuel now owns 2,583,335 shares of Series A Preferred which has, among other rights, the right to vote on general matters and the election of one member to the seven member Board of Directors of SiteScape, the ability of a 1:1 conversion into the common stock of SiteScape and dividend participation with common shares. Digital Fuel now owns approximately 7.9% of SiteScape on a fully diluted basis. 13 In addition, both the Series B and Series A preferred stock shall also be entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by SiteScape's Board of Directors at the cumulative rate of 8% per year compounded annually. Dividends are due only if the tangible net worth of SiteScape exceeds $25 million and if declared by the Board of Directors of SiteScape. As of December 31, 2002 no dividends have been declared by SiteScape. The Series A dividends are junior to the Series B dividends but senior to the common stock dividends. Management's Discussion and Analysis for the six months ended June 30, 2003 Results of Operations From September 1992 until July 1999, the Company had no operations and activities primarily consisted of maintaining the corporation's status as a corporation in good standing with the state of North Dakota and negotiating the Asset Purchase Agreement. From July 29, 1999 through June 30, 2003, activities primarily consisted of bringing the Company's filings under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 current; closing the Asset Purchase Agreement; effecting a reverse stock split, name change and reincorporation into Delaware; seeking business opportunities in the software and Internet businesses, specifically the M2Direct licensing agreements and the SiteScape investment; and accounting for these transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $4,251 related to these activities. SiteScape is currently engaged in research and development and marketing and advertising efforts to expand and grow their customer base. The Company has and will continue to regularly review the assumptions underlying the operation performance and cash flow forecasts of SiteScape to assess the investment's recoverability. Although SiteScape has revenues, it has operated at a loss. There are no assurances that SiteScape will achieve profitability or that its existing cash balances and cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements. SiteScape continues to consume cash as it executes its business plan. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company charged a portion of SiteScape's research and development and marketing and advertising expenses against the carrying value of its investment, which reduced the investment to zero on its Balance Sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, SiteScape continued to operate at a loss. The Company incurred interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 of approximately $66,485 in connection with the various loans as described in the notes to the financial statements. Through June 30, 2003, entities controlled by Mr. Farley and Mr. Farley himself have made loans to the Company totaling $997,166 for certain investment transactions and the ongoing cash needs of the Company. Through June 30, 2003, an entity controlled by Mr. Metz has made loans to the Company totaling $138,275 for certain investment transactions and the ongoing cash needs of the Company. 14 Liquidity and Capital Resources The independent auditors' report on the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2002, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2002, includes a "going concern" paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,337,383. The Company anticipates an increased need for working capital during 2003 as it continues to seek companies that are potential merger candidates that have a requirement for additional capital. The Company is seeking additional working capital through debt and/or equity offerings, which will be used for the above-described purposes. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
