NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of Digital Fuel, Inc. (the "Company") included
in this Form 10-Q/A have been prepared without audit in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The accompanying financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 2008 and 2007 have been included. The results of operations for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
There has not been any change in the significant accounting policies of
the Company for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such
pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our
financial condition or the results of our operations.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred
net operating losses in 2008 and 2007, and has a working capital
deficiency of $3,584,368 and a stockholders' deficiency of $3,584,368 at
September 30, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. Management's plans in regard to these
matters include:
a. Continued financing of certain operating transactions through the
use of related party debt (Note 2).
b. Seeking additional working capital through debt and/or equity
offerings, which will be used to further market and develop its
licensing agreements and/or other potential investment
opportunities.

Note 4. Investments
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 stockholder 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"). SiteScape is a
provider of open collaboration software, including teaming plus
conferencing products and they acquired AltaVista FORUM from Compaq
Computer in April 1999. AltaVista FORUM is collaboration software that
provides ways to communicate, share resources and collaborate with
groups of people within a company or across organizations.

DIGITAL FUEL, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We acquired this option to purchase shares of SiteScape in exchange for
a $200,000 draw on a multiple advance promissory note extended to us by
F&A of up to $800,000, bearing interest at 9% and due on demand (the
"F&A Note"). The option to purchase the SiteScape Series A Convertible
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.
Prior to September 1999, F&A provided $400,000 to SiteScape as a deposit
on the option to purchase the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On
September 1, 1999, we acquired F&A's rights to this deposit in exchange
for a $400,000 draw on the F&A Note.
Effective November 5, 1999, we exercised one-half of the SiteScape
option shares and purchased 258,334 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock at a total cost of $500,000. We 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 Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock for $500,000. At that point, we owned
approximately 20% of the voting stock of SiteScape.
On June 30, 2001, SiteScape issued to us options to purchase 103,338
shares of its common stock at $1.93 per share. Based on the SAIC Venture
Capital Corporation ("SAIC") investment described below, the common
shares of SiteScape had a value substantially less than the option
price.
In October of 2001, SiteScape received a term sheet from SAIC to
purchase up to $2.5 million of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
On March 12, 2002 the first transaction was closed. The Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock sold to the new investors was senior to our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in both payment of dividends and
distribution. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was
sold for $.4164 per share and could 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. We then owned 2,583,335 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. Prior to January 1, 2004, this investment in SiteScape
was deemed impaired, thus, the investment was written off as a loss.

DIGITAL FUEL, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SiteScape was acquired then by Novell pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated February 13, 2008 for approximately $18.5 million in
cash and SiteScape became a fully owned subsidiary of Novell. As a
result of the acquisition, all holders of outstanding shares of
SiteScape were given the right to receive a cash payment in exchange for
their stock. As a holder of 6.5% of SiteScape's stock, on a fully
diluted basis, we received a cash payment of $941,693 in February 2008,
which is included in other income (expense). A portion of the purchase
price, $181,142, was placed in an escrow account which will be released
to us in increments within eighteen months (18) after the closing of the
SiteScape Merger, in the event that Novell does not seek indemnification
for inaccuracies contained in the representations and warranties of
SiteScape in the merger agreement.
Note 5. Income Taxes
At September 30, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward
of approximately $4,289,000, 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
would be approximately $1,465,000. 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
carryforward 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.
The reduction in the deferred tax assets is attributable to the
application of the tax net operating loss carryforward to fully offset
income for the third quarter of 2008.
Note 6. Related Party Activity
During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
accrued and charged to interest expense $93,122 and $82,024,
respectively. Loan repayments totaling $229,765 were made under the
notes during the three months ended September 30, 2008. There were no
advances or repayments under the notes during the three months ended
September 30, 2007.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
accrued and charged to interest expense $279,089 and $246,070,
respectively. Loan repayments totaling $229,765 were made under the
notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, the Company was advanced $4,600 by
Michael Farley under his multiple advance promissory note. The notes
payable to related parties and accrued interest balances at September
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $3,111,476 and $3,062,152,
respectively.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company owed $2,494 to officers of the
Company for unpaid management fees. Additionally, the Company owed
$1,820 to officers of the Company for expenses incurred on the Company's
behalf at September 30, 2008.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Notes Regarding the Forward Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current
expectations, assumptions, beliefs, estimates and projections about our
company, our industry and other related industries. The forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-
looking statements. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "should" and
variations of such words or similar expressions. 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 those discussed under Item 1A, "Risk
Factors."
We caution you that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risks
and uncertainties, and that although we believe that the assumptions on which
our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those
assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, as a result, the forward-
looking statements based on those assumptions could be incorrect. In light of
these and other uncertainties, you should not conclude that we will
necessarily achieve any plans and objectives or projected financial results
referred to in any of the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to
release the results of any revisions of these forward-looking statements to
reflect future events or circumstances.
Effecting a Business Combination
We are currently in the process of identifying and evaluating targets for an
initial transaction. We have not entered into any definitive business
combination agreements. We have virtually unrestricted flexibility in
identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Accordingly,
there is no basis for investors to evaluate the possible merits or risks of
the target business with which we may ultimately complete a business
combination. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks
inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will
properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
Investment in Preferred Stock Shares of SiteScape, Inc.
Effective September 1, 1999, the new management completed an agreement with
Farley & Associates, Inc., an Arizona corporation ("F&A"), wholly owned by

point, we owned approximately 20% of the voting stock of SiteScape.
On June 30, 2001, SiteScape issued to us options to purchase 103,338 shares
of its common stock at $1.93 per share. Based on the SAIC Venture Capital
Corporation ("SAIC") investment described below, the common shares of
SiteScape had a value substantially less than the option price.
In October of 2001, SiteScape received a term sheet from SAIC to purchase up
to $2.5 million of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On March 12,
2002 the first transaction was closed. The Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock sold to the new investors was senior to our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in both payment of dividends and distribution. Each share of
Series B Convertible 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. We
then owned 2,583,335 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which
had, 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 one for one conversion into the common stock of SiteScape
and dividend participation with common shares. We then owned approximately
6.5% of SiteScape on a fully diluted basis.
In addition, both the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were
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 were 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, 2007, no dividends were declared by SiteScape. The Series A
dividends are junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock dividends,
but senior to the common stock dividends.

SiteScape Acquisition by Novell, Inc.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 13, 2008, Novell,
Inc. acquired SiteScape, for approximately $18.5 million in cash and
SiteScape became a fully owned subsidiary of Novell (the "SiteScape Merger").
As a result of the acquisition, all holders of outstanding shares of
SiteScape were given the right to receive a cash payment in exchange for
their stock. As a holder of 6.5% of SiteScape's stock, on a fully diluted
basis, we received a cash payment of $941,693 in February 2008. A portion of
the purchase price, $181,142, was placed in an escrow account which will be
released to us in increments within eighteen months (18) after the closing of
the SiteScape Merger, in the event that Novell does not seek indemnification
for inaccuracies contained in the representations and warranties of SiteScape
in the merger agreement.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that

Company under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without

end of the period covered by this report. Based upon and as of the date of
that evaluation, the Company's officers concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
(b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-
15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial
reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our
officers, and affected by our Board of Directors, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company is not in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act of 2002, and as of September 30, 2008 cannot state whether or not
our internal controls over financial reporting are effective as we did not
document such controls nor test such controls.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls
over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In August 2002, we entered into an agreement with Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn,
PC, a company that previously provided accounting services to us. We were
required in the terms of the agreement to make monthly payments to Gelfond
Hochstadt Pangburn to pay down the outstanding bills. In July 2005, we were
unable to continue such payments, and as a result, a judgment was filed with
the District Court in Denver County, Colorado against Digital Fuel, Inc. in

with Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn for $15,000.
