Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998
Results of Operations
During September 1992, the Company ceased active operations. Since that
time, the Company's activities have primarily consisted of maintaining the
corporation's status as a corporation in good standing with the state of
North Dakota. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999 the Company incurred
legal expense of $1,500. Because of the Company's inactivity it has been able
to minimize its expenses and there were no other significant expenses during
the three months ended March 31, 1999 or 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The independent auditors' report on the Company's financial statements as of
December 31, 1998, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1998, includes a
F-7
"going concern" paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plan with
regard to future operations involve the sale of a majority of its common
stock as described in Note 2 to the financial statements.
As of March 31, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$164,551. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company
has agreed to settle approximately $142,000 of current liabilities in
exchange for one and one-half percent of the Company's old common stock.
The Company anticipates a significantly increased need for working capital
during 1999 and 2000 as it brings its required filings under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934 current and proceeds with the Stock Purchase
Agreement, Recapitalization and shareholder's meeting.
No capital expenditures have been made by the Company since December 1998.
Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation.
Plan of Operation
On July 29, the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Michael R.
Farley and Forrest L. Metz was closed. All of the officers and directors
tendered their resignations and Messrs. Farley and Metz were elected to the
Board of Directors. Mr. Metz was appointed Chairman of the Board, and Mr.
Farley was appointed Chief Executive Officer. In August, the Company hired
Grant S. Papanikolas as Chief Operating Officer. The new management is
preparing the necessary documents to cause the Company to have a special
shareholders meeting for the following purposes: 1) effect a
recapitalization of the Company which will include a reverse stock split
with a magnitude not yet determined; 2) change the name of the Company to
Digital Fuel, Inc.; 3) appoint independent accountants; 4) change the
domicile of the Company to Delaware. As per the Stock Purchase Agreement,
at the completion of the reverse stock split and recapitalization, Messrs.
Farley and Metz will purchase additional shares of the common stock of the
Company and will end up owning 95% of the common stock of the Company.
Effective September 1, 1999, the Company completed an agreement with Farley
& Associates, Inc., an Arizona corporation, which is wholly owned by
Michael R. Farley, whereby the Company acquired the rights to purchase
516,667 shares of SiteScape in exchange for a $200,000 note payable. To
date, the Company has purchased 258,334 shares of SiteScape Preferred Stock
in exchange for $500,000. The Company is further obligated to purchase an
additional 258,333 shares of Preferred Stock for $500,000 in March 2000.
The Company funded the purchase of the Preferred Stock by purchasing Mr.
Farley's investment in SiteScape for a $400,000 note payable and the
payment of $100,000 cash to SiteScape.

SiteScape acquired AltaVista FORUM from Compaq Computer in April 1999, just
prior to CMGI's acquisition of the popular AltaVista search engine. FORUM
was conceived and developed by the Digital AltaVista team at a cost of tens
of millions of dollars in product development. The transaction provides
value to SiteScape in four areas.
1. A product with five years of rich technical development and broad
industry wide use.
2. All intellectual property and technical resources, including the
development team's senior engineering personnel.
3. An estimated global installed base of over 1,200 customers, the best of
the Fortune 1000.
4. The rights to use AltaVista Search engine, which is embedded in the
product.
Originally, AltaVista created FORUM to fulfill a variety of "team
collaboration" or "groupware" needs. Today, the product leverages the
Internet for organizations that seek to enhance the functionality of
existing application investments. In the near future, FORUM will be used
to extend existing enterprise applications into the supply chain, the field
and the front office. Tomorrow, because of its open source and platform
independence, FORUM could become the standard web nervous system that
provides the platform for web-based applications.
