ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

OVERVIEW

       I-Storm, Inc. ("I-Storm" or "the Company") is a full service online
E-commerce provider specializing in the architecture, management and operation
of outsourced E-commerce and E-business channel solutions for Fortune 500
companies. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, I-Storm launched the I-Storm
CyberStore strategy in May 1998, a joint venture program to finance, design,
develop, and operate electronic commerce storefronts in partnership with
brand-name consumer, financial and technology product companies. In May 1998,
I-Storm also entered into a relationship with Oracle Corporation, a leading
supplier of software for information management to develop and produce
co-branded E-commerce sites for high profile world class branded companies.

       Electronic commerce or "E-commerce" is the direct retail sale of goods
and services over the Internet. Over the past five years, I-Storm has developed
electronic and on-line commerce on behalf of major international manufacturing
and technology corporations including: Netscape, E*Trade, Inc., US Robotics,
Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mitsubishi, Inc., and
others. In particular, the Company designed and developed the Egghead(TM)
Software and the Cisco Systems, Inc. Internet retail transaction sites, two
successful E-commerce sites on the Web today.

       I-Storm, Inc. is the parent company of LVL Communications Corporation
("LVL"), a Silicon Valley Internet marketing services and technology company.
In 1996, LVL was inducted into the Inc. Magazine Hall of Fame in recognition of
its being one of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in America for six
consecutive years from 1991 through 1996.

       I-Storm, Inc. acquired LVL through a subsidiary merger in July 1998. LVL
had emerged from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings on April 16, 1998 with full
creditor approval of a Plan of Reorganization filed on March 23, 1998. LVL had
entered bankruptcy proceedings only after the collection default of a major
corporate client. LVL obtained $1,083,000 in 1998 bridge financings

                                       1

from private investors to fund its reorganization costs, and successfully
merged with I-Storm, formerly named Digital Power Holding Company ("Digital"),
an inactive public company. In March 1999, I-Storm terminated its advertising
service business to focus on E-commerce and CyberStore development. The Company
presently earns no revenue from its former advertising services business
clients. Collectively, herein, LVL shall be referred to with I-Storm as "the
Company."

       The Company is headquartered in Mountain View, California in an 11,500
square foot leased office facility. The Company has 19 full time employees.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

       The Internet, as a channel of distribution, is dramatically changing the
way products are bought and sold. The advantages to buying online are obvious
to those who use this new electronic commerce ("E-commerce") channel:
convenience, lower cost, greater choice and deeper support. Corporate America
understands the benefits to selling online: broader customer access, deeper
customer relationships and lower costs of distribution. The Internet has
spawned a number of highly successful retail businesses that have grown to
multi-million dollar operations in less than two years. Examples of client and
non-client E-commerce sites are as follows:

       Between 1996, 1997 and 1998, Internet book retailer Amazon.com grew
       sales from less than $16 million in 1996 to $148 million in 1997 to an
       annual run-rate of $460 million in 1998 (I-Storm/LVL non-client).

       Cisco Systems, Inc. booked over $100 million in sales on the Internet in
       1996. By the end of 1997, its Internet sales were running at a $3.2
       billion annual rate. In 1998, Cisco's Internet sales were running at a
       $5.8 billion annual rate. LVL built the E-commerce mechanism for Cisco's
       credit card authorization, software use and automatic product download
       (former I-Storm/LVL client).

       Auto-by-Tel, a web-based automotive marketplace that was formed in 1995,
       processed $1.8 billion in auto sales request in 1996. As of the end of
       November 1997, the Auto-by-Tel web-site was generating $500 million a
       month in auto sales ($6 billion annualized) (I-Storm/LVL non-client).

       However, despite these success stories, the challenges that face most
branded product companies--lack of creative expertise, technical and
organizational hurdles, commitment of required resources, and the perceived
long-term return on investment--make it very difficult for them to effectively
develop the technically superior in-house marketing and advertising resources
necessary to generate revenue through the Internet.

I-STORM, INC.

       I-Storm, Inc. is the parent company of LVL, a marketing communications
and Internet technology company located in Silicon Valley and founded by
Calbert Lai and Stephen Venuti in 1986, which has launched a strategy to
finance, design, develop, and operate powerful E-commerce

                                       2

<PAGE>   4

storefronts in partnership with brand-name consumer technology product
companies ("Product Partners").

       Over the past five years the Company has pioneered on-line commerce on
behalf of major international manufacturing and technology corporations
including: Netscape, E*Trade, Inc., US Robotics, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company,
Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mitsubishi, Inc. and others. In particular, the Company
designed and developed the Egghead(TM) Software and Cisco Systems, Inc. retail
transaction sites, two of the most powerful E-commerce sites on the Web today.
Based upon these highly successful ventures, in May 1998, the Company formally
launched its "I-Storm CyberStore" strategy to create significant long-term
value for its shareholders.

       Under the I-Storm CyberStore approach, the Company intends to provide
all necessary financial and professional resources required to build and
operate an electronic commerce storefront capable of selling technology-related
and other products direct to consumers and businesses (an "I-Storm
CyberStore"). Each I-Storm CyberStore is expected to exclusively feature a
Product Partner's brand names exclusively and would be seamlessly tied to the
Product Partner's corporate, product-specific and other web-sites. From a
customer's point-of-view, the I-Storm CyberStore would be a "company store"
dedicated to the Product Partner's entire line of products, including parts,
accessories and related products. The Company is presently negotiating to build
CyberStores and is not currently earning revenue from a CyberStore.

EFFICIENCIES AND LEVERAGE OF AN E-COMMERCE CHANNEL

       The potential benefits of online E-commerce selling are clear. The
E-commerce channel offers customer and product-specific data dissemination with
lower distribution costs while increasing efficiencies by leveraging a
business's current infrastructure. Marketing and communications can be targeted
to individual customers, increasing effectiveness and lowering costs by
reducing the need for broad communication vehicles. Sophisticated consumers can
be educated about highly technical and application specific products and
customize their product choices within moments after review of I-Storm
CyberStore product summaries. Moreover, online retail stores are not limited by
expensive shelf space and can offer a full assortment of products, including
hard-to-sell discontinued and out-of-stock merchandise. Inventory is easier to
monitor and control which leverage increased manufacturing productivity and
enable supply chain management.

       Businesses that wish to establish a major marketing presence on the
Internet encounter significant challenges. The technical requirements to
building a successful E-commerce business are complex. There are many products
that solve parts of the problem, but few integrative and comprehensive
solutions. Integration with existing legacy systems, including inventory, order
tracking, financial systems, telesales systems and other major elements of
large corporate structures, can be overwhelming.

       Organizational hurdles complicate the issues. Manufacturers who have had
no direct exposure to retail customers suddenly find themselves needing
different skill sets and expertise outside of their core competence. In short,
although most recognize the potential reward of E-commerce, corporate America
is moving slowly to take advantage of the channel for three major reasons: the
difficulty in

                                       3

<PAGE>   5

building and operating a successful store; the significant capital outlay
required to enter the channel seriously; and the uncertain timeline for
profitability.

       I-Storm's solution is to finance, design, develop, and operate powerful
commercial Internet web-sites in partnership with brand-name consumer product
companies on an outsourced basis. The Company intends to leverage its
reputation as a provider of online marketing and E-commerce solutions to build
and co-own nationally and internationally branded selling sites. The key
elements of the Company's strategy to accomplish this goal are to: (i) partner
with major brands, (ii) provide risk capital and expertise in exchange for
ownership, and (iii) build, operate and manage branded I-Storm CyberStores on
an outsourced basis.

       The benefits to potential Product Partners are many. First and foremost,
these companies can rapidly enter this new channel at little or no capital
investment. Second, these companies can have a site, well integrated with their
core business, which has its own dedicated store management team with the
skills and motivation to succeed. I-Storm intends to help large companies
realize the benefits of E-commerce while minimizing the risks of entering the
channel.

I-STORM CYBERSTORE STRATEGY

       Utilizing the advertising, marketing and Internet expertise of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, LVL, I-Storm is negotiating to build and manage
premier E-commerce web sites that are capable of generating sales of $10
million to $100 million within one or two years from their introduction in
partnership with world class branded product companies.

       I-Storm's strategy is to finance, design, develop and operate electronic
commerce storefronts in partnership with top-tier brand-name consumer and
technology product companies on an partnership basis. The Company is leveraging
its reputation as a provider of online marketing and E-commerce solutions to
build and co-own the most powerful branded selling sites. The key elements of
the Company's strategy to accomplish this goal are: (i) negotiate exclusive
partnerships with leading consumer brand companies; (ii) provide capital and
E-commerce expertise in return for ownership; and (iii) establish long-term
control of branded retail web sites.

       When reviewing a company as a potential Product Partner, I-Storm looks
for evidence of a large web-enabled and educated customer base and for products
that can be effectively and specifically described and purchased over the
Internet. The Company's strategy, based upon its experience in developing
commercial web sites for Egghead(TM) Software and Cisco Systems, Inc., is to
pursue Product Partner candidates where at least 10% of the Product Partner's
revenue can be sold over the Internet to web-enabled customers. This includes
both consumers and businesses, particularly small office/home office ("SOHO")
businesses. For example, in the fourth quarter of 1997, the Egghead(TM)
Software web site sold over $11 million of product and accounted for
approximately 15% of Egghead's revenue. Today, Egghead(TM) Software Internet
sales are running at a $140 million annual rate. Currently, the Cisco Systems,
Inc. ("Cisco") web site sells over $3 billion annually and accounts for over
25% of Cisco's overall revenue.

                                       4

<PAGE>   6

       Ownership of the I-Storm CyberStore is proposed to be structured as a
joint venture or royalty partnership that splits returns between the Company
and the Product Partner in a manner permitting the Company to consolidate sales
and pre-tax profits while sharing a portion of those profits with the Product
Partner.

       Under such a joint venture or royalty partnership structure, I-Storm
will propose to design, build and operate the I-Storm CyberStore, including
Internet-based advertising and promotion, and customer development. The Product
Partner would provide its brand name, product line, and would be responsible
for inventory and order fulfillment. Product shipments would be made from the
Product Partner's inventory directly to the customer with I-Storm handling
billing, collections, and sales order processing. After an initial period of
four or five years, it is expected that the Product Partner would have the
option to purchase the Company's ownership of the I-Storm CyberStore at fair
market value and assume complete control of the business.

       The development of I-Storm CyberStores through an I-Storm Product
Partnership is intended to provide manufacturers with a quick, low risk path to
a profitable, customer-direct channel within the constraints of their existing
corporate strategy and infrastructure. The Company expects to benefit by being
able to access the massive product, manufacturing, and brand-name investment
resident in Product Partners' businesses.

EXTENDING I-STORM'S CORE BUSINESS INTO E-COMMERCE

        Much of the Company's capabilities have been developed over the past
twelve years through LVL's history of selling and marketing technology products
to commercial and consumer customers on a consultant basis on behalf of
fee-based clients. LVL's interactive group has designed, developed, or
consulted with respect to approximately 35 client E-commerce and/or information
web-sites over the past three and one-half years. Exemplative of LVL's creation
of successful retail I-Storm CyberStore-type sites are Egghead(TM) Software
("Egghead") and Cisco System's Internet Junction:

       Egghead, Inc.: In early 1995, LVL created one of the web's first
       online E-commerce sites for Egghead(TM) Software. The site features
       full online shopping and purchasing capabilities with an inventory of
       over 3,000 products. In 1997 the online store sold more than $40
       million of product, outselling any of Egghead's 200 traditional
       storefronts and accounting for over 10% of Egghead's total retail
       sales. The average sale through the site was more than twice that of
       Egghead's retail outlets and it generated higher gross margins. The
       site has been credited with adding over 400,000 new customer names to
       Egghead's customer database. In March 1998, Egghead announced that it
       was closing all of its traditional locations to sell strictly through
       its web-site. In 1998, Egghead's Internet sales are running at a $140
       million annual rate.

       Cisco Systems, Inc.: In 1996, when Cisco Systems, Inc. purchased
       Internet Junction, a manufacturer of Internet software, Cisco decided
       that "online" would be the only retail distribution channel through
       which customers could purchase the software. Cisco asked LVL to build
       the commerce mechanism that could perform credit card authorization
       and verification, creation of a software key, and automatic download
       of the product. By the end of

                                       5

<PAGE>   7

       1997, Cisco's Internet sales were running at a $3.2 billion annual
       rate. In 1998, Cisco's Internet sales were running at a $5.8 billion
       annual rate.

RELATIONSHIP WITH ORACLE CORPORATION

        In May 1998, Oracle Corporation ("Oracle"), a global supplier of
software for enterprise information management, entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding with I-Storm to potentially produce and manage world-class
electronic marketing sites for high profile consumer brand companies. Under the
proposed arrangement, it is anticipated that I-Storm would have the right to
own and develop each E-commerce site for the target account, and Oracle would
subcontract its software and technical consulting services on an "as-needed
project basis." Both Oracle and I-Storm propose to jointly invest the pre-sales
and up-front marketing resources needed to win the target account. The
E-commerce sites would be co-branded with both the "On Oracle" and the
"I-Storm" commerce marks. On July 6, 1999, Oracle and I-Storm reaffirmed their
commitment to work together to provide services to Fortune 500 companies
pursuing aggressive and focused channel-building programs. To date the Company
has not earned revenue as a result of its relationship with Oracle.

I-STORM CYBERSTORE ECONOMICS

       The economic model for individual I-Storm CyberStores takes advantage of
two key factors: (i) the ability to leverage the Product Partner's existing
inventory and fulfillment systems, and (ii) the existing brand names and large
marketing/advertising budgets. This combination will allow the I-Storm
CyberStore to manage operating expenses effectively and efficiently while
benefiting greatly from existing communications programs that drive web traffic
and product demand. The following percentages have been developed by I-Storm's
management based upon its experience working with traditional retail selling
distribution, and from its knowledge of the retail products sales industry.

       Typical retailers of computer products (CompUSA, Computer City, etc.)
are burdened with high overhead costs associated with storefronts and sales
personnel. I-Storm's management estimates that in such traditional retail
situation gross profit is typically calculated as 14% of sales, and operating
expenses in this category range between 9-10% of sales. Retailers also need to
spend substantial amounts of advertising and promotional dollars in order to
drive traffic to their particular chain.

       Typical "Internet-only" retailers (Amazon.com, CDNow, Software.net, N2K)
work with margins in the range of 15-20%. They have similar operating expenses
(in the range of 9-10% of sales). However, most of these "Internet-only" stores
are required to spend a substantial percentage of sales on advertising and
marketing (in the range of 15-20%) in order to create a brand and drive
customer traffic.

       The I-Storm CyberStore model proposes to take advantage of its Product
Partner's existing infrastructure to substantially decrease operating expenses
as well as to leverage its Product Partner's large advertising and marketing
expenses. Because I-Storm CyberStores will be designed to utilize their Product
Partner's inventory, warehousing, and fulfillment systems, overall operating
expenses

                                       6

<PAGE>   8

should be significantly reduced. Unlike "Internet-only" companies and
traditional retailers, I-Storm CyberStores will not need to spend large amounts
of independent advertising dollars since they will directly benefit from the
millions of dollars their Product Partners already spend to generate awareness
and sales. Based on its work with Egghead, Cisco, and other technology
manufacturers, the Company expects between 10-15% of total sales to come
through the Internet within two years of opening and operating an I-Storm
CyberStore.

I-STORM CORPORATE PARTNERS AND ADVISORS

       The Company is teaming with companies and individuals who can strengthen
I-Storm's ability to develop and operate I-Storm CyberStores effectively. These
companies and individuals include:

       ORACLE CORPORATION: Oracle Corporation is a leading supplier of
       corporate database software in more than 140 countries, with
       approximately 12,000 employees worldwide, dedicated to designing,
       integrating, and programming database solutions. With annual revenues
       exceeding $6 billion, Oracle is the global supplier of enterprise
       information management software to many of the Internet's leading
       commercial web-sites. Under the May 5, 1998 Memorandum of Understanding
       with I-Storm, both I-Storm and Oracle proposed to develop a mutual
       scaleable model for the ongoing development of profitable world-class
       electronic marketing sites, as well as to establish three to ten high
       profile consumer branded product sites, and as of July 6, 1999, Oracle
       and I-Storm reaffirmed this commitment.

       I-STORM ADVISORY BOARD: In May of 1998, I-Storm held its first meeting
       of the I-Storm Advisory Board. This organization was created to provide
       the new business with experience and contacts in key areas of
       merchandising and marketing. The Company intends to continually add
       members to the Advisory Board. Certain members of the I-Storm Advisory
       Board are as follows:

                Matthew Howard is a thirty-year veteran in executive management
                for major U.S. retailers.  Mr. Howard has served as Senior
                Executive Vice President of both Marketing and Merchandising
                for Sears, as President of Computer City, a subsidiary of Tandy
                Corporation, and as an Executive Vice President of Montgomery
                Ward.

                Peter Janssen was a member of the start up team that developed
                the Sears Business Systems Center. After 18 years at Sears, Mr.
                Janssen left to head sales and marketing for several technology
                start-up companies, including Mindset, the Amdek Division of
                Wyse, Nexgen Microsystems, and Acer Computers, where he was
                responsible for Acer's entry into the consumer channels of
                distribution and growing that division to $500 million in four
                years.

                Mr. Janssen was brought into Egghead(TM) Software, as head of
                Merchandising and Marketing and was instrumental in increasing
                sales by 20% and reducing inventory by 40%. Together with LVL,
                Mr. Janssen implemented one of the first E-commerce Internet
                sites, Egghead.com.

                                       7

<PAGE>   9

                For the past two and one-half years, Mr. Janssen has headed his
                own firm, Peter Janssen & Associates ("PJA"), a technology
                consulting firm specializing in helping technology companies
                develop and implement their sales marketing and channel
                marketing strategies and tactics. Since its founding, PJA has
                worked with Texas Instruments, Motorola, Acer, Toshiba, Thomson
                Consumer Electronics, Philips, Symantec, CalComp and 20 smaller
                start-up companies.

I-STORM CYBERSTORE PARTNERSHIPS

       The Company has approached a targeted number of brand-name consumer
product companies regarding the I-Storm CyberStore program. As a result, on
December 7, 1998, the Company signed a letter of understanding with Sun
Microsystems, Inc. ("Sun"), a leading manufacturer and global provider of
network computing systems, including UNIX based workstations, microprocessors,
Internet/intranet services, and Java(TM) software. Sun's products command a
significant share of a rapidly growing segment of the computer industry and are
used for many demanding commercial and technical applications in various
industries. The Sun Letter of Intent authorizes the Company to do a feasibility
study on establishing an I-Storm CyberStore dedicated to exclusively selling
Sun and compatible products to retail customers for profit.

       Further, on June 16, 1999, the Company entered into a three-year
E-commerce Sales and Marketing Agreement with AIG Warranty Services and
Insurance Agency ("AIG"). During the three-year term of the Sales and Marketing
Agreement, I-Storm will be the exclusive on-line marketer of AIG's on-line
warranties and service contract agreements.

       In 1998, the Company also signed letters of understanding and pursued
feasibility studies for the construction of CyberStores, as follows:

       Garden Botanika: Garden Botanika ("GBOT") is a marketer of all-natural
       personal care products through direct mail and 267 company-owned retail
       locations. Total GBOT revenue is $114 million per year, of which
       approximately 5% of revenue is generated through catalog sales. Its
       catalog business, at 5% of total revenues, is secondary to its retail
       stores.

       The High-Tech Group: The High-Tech Group ("HTG") is a premier provider

<PAGE>   10

       Although PMCG, Garden Botanika, HTG Group and Abercrombie and Kent
signed letters of intent with the Company in 1998, there can be no assurance
that the Company will enter into final CyberStore Agreements with any of these
potential Product Partners, and the Company has not entered into any such
agreements as of June 30, 1999. The Company, to date has not constructed
CyberStores for these entities, nor has the Company received any revenue from
these entities.

LVL COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION

       LVL, a marketing and internet technology company headquartered in
Mountain View, California, has a twelve-year track record of creative and
technical success in serving marketers of consumer-oriented technology
products. Founded in 1986 by Calbert Lai and Stephen Venuti, and also known as
"Lai, Venuti and Lai," LVL specialized in offering a wide range of strategic
communication services that help its clients market their products, services
and messages to targeted segments of the consumer population. These services
included market research, corporate and product market strategy development,
identity definition, product branding, consumer and technical media services,
advertising and promotion and interactive advertising development. In
particular, LVL is a provider of integrated communications to consumers that
take advantage of emerging technologies and new media, including electronic
communications such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, on-line services,
PC-related media (CD-ROMs, multi-media, etc.) was inducted into Inc. Magazine's
Hall of Fame as one of the 500 fastest-growing companies in America for six
consecutive years from 1991 through 1996.

       LVL's business has been built upon its ability to provide its corporate
clients with the intellectual structure and creative resources necessary to
design and deliver market communications to appropriate consumer audiences
using traditional and new media. In 1997, the Company was named "Agency of the
Year" by Marketing Computers magazine for its integration of traditional and
new media disciplines to increase a company's marketing efficiencies and
effectiveness.

       Although LVL achieved the foregoing recognition for twelve
year-operation of its advertising and marketing services business in Silicon
Valley, LVL suffered substantial losses in 1997 as a result of the payment
default of a major corporate client. Although in 1998 LVL was able to
reorganize under Chapter Eleven bankruptcy proceedings with creditor approval,
and although the Company has changed its focus from traditional advertising
services to providing joint venture-based E-commerce channels and CyberStore
development, there can be no assurance that the Company as a newly-reorganized
corporation will achieve profitability or remain as a going concern. The
Company presently has no revenue from any former LVL advertising services
business client.

PRE-MERGER LVL SERVICES AND CLIENTS

       The following is a list of customers that represented $50,000 or more in
annual billings for LVL in various twelve-month periods from December 1996
through December 1998:

                                       9

<S>                       <C>                         <C>                          <C>
       Netscape           US Robotics, Inc.           Bay Networks, Inc.           Hewlett-Packard Company

       Disney             Cisco Systems, Inc.         Mitsubishi, Inc.             Bank of America

       Group, Inc.        DirectTV, Inc.              Philips Electronics, Inc.    3COM

       E*Trade            Sun Microsystems, Inc.      Acer, Inc.
</TABLE>

       Because of the project-oriented nature of its services, LVL's traditional
services revenues tended to be concentrated in a handful of clients at any one
time. The Company's largest client accounted for approximately 50% of the
Company's revenues for the period commencing January 1, 1998 and ending
December 31, 1998. For the period commencing from July 17, 1998 and ending
December 31, 1998, five clients accounted for 79% of the Company's revenue with
no client accounting for more than 26.3% of the Company's revenue for that
period.

       In March 1999, the Company reorganized its internal corporate
structure and terminated the advertising services business formerly handled in
LVL Advertising, Inc. The Company phased out this traditional advertising
business to focus its managerial, technical and capital resources on its
strategy of financing, developing and operating E-commerce storefronts with
Product Partners. As a result, the Company presently has no revenue from any
former advertising services business client.

I-STORM COMPETITION

       Use of the Internet is growing at very high rates and many well
financed companies are operating or developing web-based businesses currently.
At the same time, barriers to entry into web-based commerce are low and an
extremely large number of individuals and small companies are offering goods of
all types for sale over the Internet on web-sites of varying levels of
sophistication.

       The markets for the Company's services are highly competitive and are
driven by client demands for better service (more effective programs, quicker
response times, and implementation of new electronic tools or media) and
perceived price and performance of its services. Although the Company has built
a market position for itself in its traditional services area, there are few
barriers to entry in the advertising business and interactive marketing
business. The Company has no significant proprietary technology that would
preclude or inhibit competitors from entering the marketing communications
market and it expects to face additional competition from new entrants in the
market in the future. In particular, the niche that the Company traditionally
serves is considered to be an attractive, high-growth segment of the
advertising industry. Current and prospective competitors include
international, national, and regional advertising agencies, specialized
communications firms currently operating in a single medium (such as the
Internet), and firms such as CKS Group, Inc. and Think New Ideas, Inc., Organic
On-Line, Studio Archetype, and Agency.com which all share the Company's market
focus. Although the Company is actively implementing its CyberStore concept in
conjunction with Oracle Corporation, a leading global enterprise software
supplier, the Company also faces a highly competitive market in this segment of
its services. E-commerce competitors include: Claremont, Andersen Consulting,
Cambridge Technologies, IBM and EDS.

EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY

       As of December 31, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 26
full-time and one part-time employees. The Company employs highly skilled
computer and creative-oriented personnel from the Silicon Valley area. Seven
employees had annual salaries of $100,000 or more.

       As of June 30, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 19
full-time and one part-time employees. The number of employees decreased as a
result of the Company's cessation in March 1999 of the advertising line of
business, formerly managed by LVL Advertising, Inc. As of June, 1999, six
employees have annual salaries of $100,000.

       Neither the Company's nor the subsidiaries' employees are unionized.
Management believes that it has good working relations with its employees.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS RELATED TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS

OPERATING LOSSES

       The Company realized significant operating losses in 1997 and 1998.
There can be no assurance that the Company will generate profit or positive
cash flows from operating activities in the future. The Company terminated its
traditional advertising services business in March 1999 and presently receives
no revenue from those former clients. If the Company is unable to achieve
profitability or positive cash flows from operating activities, it will not be
able to meet its working capital or future debt service requirements, which
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue to
operate. See "Financial Statements."

MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH; ONGOING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

       The conduct of the Company's business and the continued implementation
of its business plans and operations will require the availability of
additional funds in the future. While the Company currently has no material
commitments for capital or other expenditures, other than as set forth herein,
it is the Company's intention to continue to implement the growth of its
business and expand its operations, which may require additional financing. If
needed, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
negotiate or obtain additional financing.

NEW E-COMMERCE BUSINESS STRATEGY

       The Company is engaging a new E-commerce business strategy with respect
to the partnership of I-Storm CyberStores with brand-name consumer product
companies ("Product Partners") to finance, design, develop and operate Internet
commercial web-sites. The Company terminated its traditional advertising
services business in March 1999. Although the Company believes it has the
critical blend of skills necessary to develop and successfully operate such
Product Partner ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to establish or maintain strategic alliances with any Product Partner, or
that any associated I-Storm CyberStore will generate sufficient revenue to
produce a profit. In addition, I-Storm's ability to maintain its partnerships
with Product Partners

                                       11

<PAGE>   13

and develop new Product Partners depends to a significant degree on the quality
of its services and its ability to generate revenue and profit from its initial
I-Storm CyberStores. Further, the success of I-Storm's CyberStore business will
be driven in large part by the strength of the brand-names and product lines of
its Product Partners. The Company expects to have little influence on the
products and non-Internet-related advertising strategies of its Product
Partners.

INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION, CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS

       The Company's ability to continue to generate new business is dependent
upon the Company's continued relationship with key executives of its clients.
In addition, consolidation in clients' industries can result in the immediate
loss of substantial clients and revenue streams without any advanced notice.
Such occurrences can cause the Company to incur substantial and unchanged
overhead, while experiencing a rapid loss of revenue. There can be no
assurances that such consolidation or loss of clients will not occur in the
future.

MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY'S APPROACH; SERVICE DEVELOPMENT; RAPID
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; DEPENDENCE UPON THE INTERNET ABSENCE OF PRESENT
CYBERSTORES

       The Company provides an integrated approach to meet the marketing
communications and E-commerce needs of its clients. To compete successfully
against specialized service providers, the Company believes that its products
and services in each marketing communication discipline will need to be
competitive with the services offered by the firms that specialize in each
discipline. The Company's ability to derive revenues will depend in part upon a
robust industry and the infrastructure for providing Internet access and
carrying Internet traffic. If the necessary infrastructure or complementary
products are not developed, or if the Internet does not become a viable
commercial marketplace, the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected. There also can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in providing competitive
solutions to clients through its integrated marketing communication services
and products, or through the establishment of E-commerce web sites. Failure to
do so could result in the loss of existing customers or the inability to
attract and retain new clients, either of which developments could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
operating results. Although the Company's strategic business plan contemplates
the development of E-commerce CyberStores in conjunction with
brand-recognizable Product Partners, there can be no assurance that any such
CyberStores will be developed.

HIGH COSTS TO MAINTAIN SKILLED LABOR FORCE

       A high percentage of the Company work force is either highly-skilled
computer or creative-oriented personnel, both of which are extremely expensive
and contribute to a high monthly payroll compared to other companies of its
size and revenues. The Company is headquartered in Mountain View, one of the
most expensive areas in the already costly Silicon Valley, where demand for
skilled employees and real estate has skyrocketed. Out of the Company's 19
full-time employees, 11 of them are paid salaries of more than $60,000 per
year, and of those, 6 have annual salaries in excess of $100,000. As in most
service industry companies, the Company's fixed costs are a high percentage of
its monthly overhead and cannot be easily or quickly reduced in the event of
decrease in

                                       12

<PAGE>   14

business. Such high fixed costs can rapidly cause such a company to operate at
a deficit. The inability to attract, hire or retain the necessary technical and
managerial personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
operating result and financial condition.

GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION

       As discussed elsewhere in this 10-KSB Report, and by the Company's
Accountants in the notes to the Financial Statements, the bankruptcy
proceedings significantly affected the Company's capital structure, liquidity
and capital resources. These factors and others discussed elsewhere and in the
notes to the "Financial Statements" raise substantial doubt about the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern and about the ability of the
Company to realize its Reorganization Asset. The Financial Statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VOTING CONTROL BY THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK

       As of June 30, 1999, the Company's executive officers, directors and
controlling stockholders directly or beneficially hold most of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. The Company's officers, directors and controlling
stockholders currently are, and in the foreseeable future will continue to be,
in a position to control the Company by being able to nominate and elect a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors
establishes corporate policies and has the sole authority to nominate and elect
the Company's officers to carry out those policies.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

       The Company is dependent on the efforts of Calbert Lai, co-founder,
President and Director, and Stephen Venuti, co-founder, Executive Vice
President and General Manager, as well as a group of other talented employees
with industry relationships and technical knowledge of the Company's
operations. The loss of any of them or the inability of the Company to recruit
and train additional key technical and sales personnel in a timely manner,
could materially and adversely affect the business of the Company and its
future prospects. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the
development of its business. The Company does not maintain key person life
insurance policies on any of its officers and employees. The Company intends to
provide key man life insurance for Calbert Lai, Steven Venuti, its officers and
key employees. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing in the
near future, it will not be able to retain its existing personnel.

NASDAQ OR AMEX LISTING

       The Plan of Reorganization imposed a requirement that the Company apply
for NASDAQ listing within 90 days of the date upon which LVL became a
subsidiary of the Company, also known as the "Effective Date" of the Plan.

       The Plan of Reorganization contemplated that the Company would raise
sufficient equity financing within 90 days of the Effective Date to satisfy a
minimum NASDAQ capital listing

                                       13

<PAGE>   15

requirement of $4,000,000. Because of operational cash flow needs and the
expense and time required to prepare an audited financial statements to
accompany this Form 10-KSB and other required SEC reports, the Company did not
apply for listing on NASDAQ within this time frame, also in part because at the
time it could not satisfy the NASDAQ capital listing requirements. Although the
Company presently anticipates that it will file shortly for either NASDAQ or
AMEX listing, and will promptly complete the filing of all requisite SEC
reports, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient
capital to meet NASDAQ or AMEX listing requirements or that NASDAQ or AMEX will
accept the Company for listing.

       LVL's Plan of Reorganization was approved without objection from
creditors. Creditors, however, retain a right to challenge actions of LVL and
its parent, the Company, with respect to the implementation of any aspect of
the Plan of Reorganization, including a late filing of the NASDAQ application.
Presently, no creditor has voiced an objection or presented a formal challenge
to any actions taken by LVL or the Company pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization.

ABSENCE OF CASH DIVIDENDS AND NO CASH DIVIDENDS ANTICIPATED

       The future payment by the Company of cash dividends on its Preferred or
Common Stock, if any, rests within the discretion of its Board of Directors and
will depend, among other things, upon the Company's earnings, its capital
requirements and its financial condition, as well as other relevant factors.
The Company does not anticipate making any cash distributions upon its
Preferred or Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends
on the Shares is subordinate to the payment of dividends on Series A and B
Preferred Stock.

FUTURE SALES OF COMMON STOCK BY MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

       Under the Plan of Reorganization, 1,095,284 shares of freely tradable
Common Stock have been issued to officers, directors or to beneficial owners
holding 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock, under an exemption from
Securities Act registration, pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code
and Section 3(a)(7) of the 1933 Securities Act, and 2,494,716 shares of freely
tradable Common Stock have been issued to those who are not officers, directors
or to beneficial owners holding 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock. Of
this freely tradable Common Stock, 2,290,756 shares are subject to lock-up
agreements restricting their sale for a period of until February 2000. These
lock-up agreements may be modified or waived upon the mutual consent of the
Company and the placement agent which facilitated the sale in early 1999 of the
Company's Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

         Additionally, as of December 31, 1998, 1,597,800 shares of Common
Stock that have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act have been
issued to officers, directors or to beneficial holders holding 10% or more of
the Company's Common Stock. In the event a public market for the Company's
Common Stock were to develop in the future, of which no assurances can be
given, sales of this unregistered Common Stock may be made by management and
others pursuant and in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 of the
Securities Act. In general, under Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a
one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any
three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one
percent of the then

                                       14

<PAGE>   16

outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume in
shares during the four calendar weeks immediately prior to such sales. Rule 144
also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any
quantity or other limitation by a person who is not an affiliate of the Company
and who has satisfied a two-year holding period. Future sales of such shares
made under Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market
price, if any, of the Common Stock and adversely affect the Company's ability
to obtain future financing in the capital markets as well as create a potential
market overhang.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

       As of December 31, 1998, the Company's headquarters was located on
15,847 square feet of leased office space at 480 Cowper Street, Palo Alto,
California 94301. The Company was occupying the space on a month-to-month basis
following the expiration of a 15-year lease.

       In March of 1999, the Company moved its headquarters to a leased office
facility at 2440 West El Camino Real, Suite 520, Mountain View, California
94040-1400. The new location consists of approximately 11,500 square feet and
the Company has entered into a two-year lease for the facility.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND MERGER OF LVL INTO DIGITAL'S WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY

       The Company has been reorganized pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization
("Plan of Reorganization") filed by LVL on March 23, 1998, that has recently
been confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court ("Bankruptcy Court") for
the Northern District of California ("Order") without creditor objection on
April 16, 1998. The Order approved the merger of LVL into Digital, an inactive
public company, or into its wholly-owned subsidiary, and to take a series of
steps to protect certain prior creditor interests.

       In contemplation of the merger, on May 6, 1998, I-Storm Acquisition
Corp. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the holders of a majority of
the common stock of Digital, Chiracahua Company, Melinda Johnson and Leonard
Burningham, to purchase 600,000 shares of Digital's outstanding common stock
for $150,000, with an option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of
Digital's outstanding common stock from existing shareholders at $2.00 per
share, exercisable any time from May 6, 1998 through May 6, 1999.

       Digital had been organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on
February 24, 1984, under the name "Interventure." Digital had been an inactive
public company from 1989 through 1998, and other than maintaining and restoring
the Company's good standing certificate, Digital's only material business
operation was to seek prospective business or assets to acquire. Digital had no
revenues from 1989 to 1998. In March 1998, Digital voluntarily filed a Form
10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

       On July 15, 1998, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization and with
appropriate approval from the California Secretary of State's Office, the two
wholly-owned subsidiaries of LVL, LVL Interactive, Inc. and LVL Advertising,
Inc., merged into LVL, the parent company, leaving LVL as

                                       15

<PAGE>   17

the sole surviving California corporation. On July 17, 1998, the wholly-owned
subsidiary of Digital, Digital Acquisition Corporation, merged into LVL, with
approval from the California Secretary of State's Office, resulting in LVL
becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital, a Nevada corporation. On July
20, 1998, Digital was renamed "I-Storm, Inc." by amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation.

       Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Company will be required to pay
certain secured claims, including principal and interest, over a period of five
years, in equal quarterly annual installments. Asserted secured claims were
held by Dot Printers, Inc., for the amount of $210,000, and by George Rice &
Sons, for the amount of $24,589.71. The Company is presently challenging the
secured status of these claims, as well as the claims of certain other
creditors to approximately $386,500 as secured debt, although there can be no
assurance that the Company will prevail in its position. The Company will also
retain a prior factoring relationship with Pacific Business Funding
Corporation, which has provided a secured receivables line of credit to LVL,
prior to the Plan. The Company will also issue 600,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to certain unsecured creditors under the Plan. The holders of
such Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive cumulative
dividends at a rate of $0.05 per share, per year, prior and in preference to
any payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of the Company or any other
equity security of the Company. The dividends, rights and preferences of the
Series A Preferred Stock will also be senior to those of the Common Stock and
of any other equity security of the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain
Liquidation Preference Events, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive a preference payment equal to $6.67 per share for each
share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to all declared but
unpaid dividends thereon, prior to any distribution of funds and assets to any
other class of shareholder. Such Liquidation Preference Events are the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or the sale, merger or
combination of Company, a public offering in excess of $25 million, a merger or
consolidation of the Company in which its shareholders do not retain a majority
of the voting power in the surviving corporation, or a sale of all or
substantially all of Company's assets. Should there be insufficient assets to
permit payment of the foregoing in full to all holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock, then the assets of the Company will be distributed ratably to
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and then to the Common Stock of the
Company.

       Although the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 600,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock on July 23, 1998, the Company has awaited
the final determination by the Bankruptcy Court of the pool of unsecured
creditors that will be entitled to share on a pro rata basis in accordance with
their claims, in order to make an appropriate issuance of such Series A
Preferred Stock.

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

       No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth
quarter of 1998.

                                       16

                                    PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

       The Company's Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "ISTM." The Company's shares of Preferred Stock are not listed on any
exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Prior to the third quarter of
1998, there was no public market for the Company's Common Stock. Only a limited
public market for the Company's Common Stock existed in the third and fourth
quarters of 1998 and bid prices may not be indicative of fair market value or a
sustained trading market. The range of high and low bid information for the
Company's Common Stock for each full quarterly period during the Company's last
two fiscal years, is as follows:

       These quotations were obtained from OTC Electronic Bulletin Board

Trades were not made on a daily basis. On December 30, 1998, the closing bid
price for the Company's Common Stock was $3.50. As of the same date, there were
274 holders of record of Common Stock. As of June 30, 1999, the closing bid
price was $4.125 and the number of holders of record was 244.

       The trading price of the Company's Common Stock has been and in the
future is expected to be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to both
business-related issues, such as quarterly variations in operating results, the
timing of commencement or completion of client projects, reductions or
increases in client spending on marketing communications services,
announcements of new services or business acquisitions by the Company or its
competitors, and the gain or loss of client accounts, and stock market related
influences, such as changes in estimates of securities analysts, the presence
or absence of short-selling of the Company's stock, and events affecting other
companies that

the market deems to be comparable to the Company. In addition, the stock market
has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that
have particularly affected the market price of many technology-oriented
companies and that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations may
adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The trading
prices of many high technology and Internet-related companies' stocks are at or
near their historical highs and reflect price/earning ratios substantially
above historical norms. There can be no assurance that the trading price of the
Company's Common Stock will remain at or near any current or previous level.

       The Company currently intends to retain future earnings to fund the
development and growth of its business and therefore does not anticipate paying
cash dividends within the foreseeable future. Any future payment of dividends
will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations and other factors deemed
relevant by its Board of Directors.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED STOCK

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING OF THE SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

       The Company has recently raised a total of $4,550,000 in gross proceeds
from a private placement offering of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock"), made pursuant to Section 506 of Regulation
D, at a price per share of $12.25. The offering of such Series C Preferred
Stock ("the Offering") commenced on February 22, 1999 and concluded on May 31,
1999. A total of 371,429 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were offered and
sold by the Company with the assistance of financial consultants who received a
consulting fee equal to 12% of gross proceeds or $546,000. Additionally,
certain consultants received warrants to purchase 2,040 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $12.25. After deducting the consulting
fees, a total of $4,004,000 in proceeds was received by the Company from the
Offering. The net proceeds are being used for the development of I-Storm
E-commerce stores, for normal operating expenses during the Company's
development stage, and for general working capital purposes.

       The Series C Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share. Each
share is entitled to cumulative annual dividends, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors, at an annual rate of nine percent (9%) each year, in
quarterly installments of $0.28 on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November
15, of each year, payable at the option of the Company either in shares of
Series C Preferred Stock or in cash. The right of the Series C Preferred Stock
to payment of either cash or common stock dividends is subordinate to the right
to cash or stock dividend payments of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into
Common Stock at any time following the closing of the Offering, at the option
of the holder, into such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as
shall equal $12.25 divided by the lower of $3.50 (the "Conversion Price"), or
should the closing bid price for any five consecutive trading days during the
period commencing 11 months after the Final Closing of the Offering and ending
one month thereafter be less than $3.50, the Conversion Price shall be
readjusted to that price, provided, however, that in no event shall the
Conversion Price be reduced below $2.80. The number of shares of Common Stock
to be issued upon conversion shall also be subject to certain antidilution
provisions.

Offering, upon the payment to the holder of any unpaid accumulated dividends,
in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company. The Common Stock
exercisable upon conversion of the Shares shall have piggy-back registration
rights effective from the Final Closing of this Offering and shall have demand
registration rights effective from the Final Closing until 12 months

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

       The Company raised a total of $4,996,439 in gross proceeds from a
private placement offering of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series B Preferred Stock"), made pursuant to Section 506 of Regulation D, at
a price per share of $12.25. The offering of such Series B Preferred Stock
("the Offering") commenced on December 11, 1998 and concluded on February 18,
1999. A total of 407,900 Shares of Series B Preferred Stock were offered and
sold through Weatherly Securities Corp. ("Weatherly"), a placement agent which
received a 10% placement fee and a 3% non-accountable expenses allowance, or
13% of the gross proceeds of the sale of such Series B Preferred Stock
Offering, less certain expenses, for a total of $599,512. Weatherly also
received as compensation for the Offering Warrants to purchase 40,790 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock. After deducting the placement agent's fees and
expenses, a total of $4,396,927 in proceeds was received by the Company from
the Offering. The majority of such proceeds was used to fully retire its
outstanding bridge loans, which had been incurred both pre- and
post-bankruptcy; to almost fully retire its loans under a factoring agreement,
and to pay down many of its outstanding expenses and professional fees. The
balance of the proceeds is being used for the development of I-Storm
CyberStores and for general working capital purposes.

       The Series B Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share. Each
share is entitled to cumulative annual dividends, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors, at an annual rate of nine percent (9%) each year, in
quarterly installments of $0.28 on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November
15 of each year, payable at the option of the Company either in shares of
Series B Preferred Stock or in cash. The right of the Series B Preferred Stock
to payment of either cash or common stock dividends is subordinate to the right
to cash or stock dividend payments of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into Common stock at any time
following the closing of the Offering, at the option of the holder, into such
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as shall equal $12.25 divided by
the lower of $3.50 (the "Conversion Price"), or should the closing bid price
for any five consecutive trading days during the period commencing 11 months
after the Final Closing of the Offering and ending one month thereafter be less
than $3.50, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to that price, provided,
however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced below $2.80.
The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion shall also be
subject to certain antidilution provisions. Each Share may be converted into
Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the option of the Company, at any time

the holder of any unpaid accumulated dividends, in cash or Common Stock, at the
option of the Company. The Common Stock exercisable upon conversion of the
Shares shall have piggy-back registration rights effective from the Final
Closing of this Offering and shall have demand registration rights effective
from the Final Closing until 12 months thereafter.

ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK, OPTIONS AND WARRANTS PURSUANT TO THE ORDER AND PLAN
OF REORGANIZATION

       On July 23, 1998, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of
certain shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and warrants in
accordance with the Order of the Bankruptcy Court, confirming the Plan of
Reorganization. Such shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and
warrants, and the Common Stock underlying such warrants are or will be issued
pursuant to Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and as such, are
exempt from registration under the federal securities laws, except with respect
to an underwriter of such securities.

       The Board approved issuances of Shares of Common Stock, Series A
Preferred Stock and warrants as follows: Calbert Lai, 297,642 shares of Common

       The Company, pursuant to the Order and Plan of Reorganization, also
issued 600,000 shares of non-voting common Stock to Trident III, L.L.C. which
was initially redeemable at $1.00 per share. In January 1999, Trident III,
L.L.C. notified the Company that it wished to waive the right to redeem this
Common Stock; accordingly, Trident III, L.L.C. presently holds 600,000 shares
of non-redeemable non-voting stock, issued pursuant to the Order and Plan of
Reorganization.

       In accordance with the Order and Plan of Reorganization, the Company
also issued 25,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock, exercisable at $0.50 per
share, to Mascia and Associates and 50,000 warrants to Pacific Business
Funding, Inc., both creditors under the Plan. The Company also authorized the
issuance of 275,000 service warrants, exercisable at $0.50 per share, to
various service providers, all in accordance with the Plan.

       Each of the foregoing shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock,
and the common stock underlying the exercise of the warrants, except for shares
of Common Stock issued to Trident III, L.L.C., were issued subject to an
eighteen-month lock-up agreement negotiated between the Company and its
placement agent for Series B Preferred Stock, as required by the Bankruptcy
Court. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's instructions, releases from the
lock-up agreement were on a pro rata basis. As of December 31, 1998, the
placement agent and the Company had agreed to release ten percent (10%) of the
foregoing securities from the lock-up. The shares of Calbert Lai and Stephen
Venuti are also subject to a further lock-up imposed by the Bankruptcy Court .
Shares of Messrs. Lai and Venuti may only be released the earlier of the time
of thirty-six months after July 17, 1999,a liquidation preference event, or the
date the closing bid price reported on the NASDAQ market system for the common
stock of I-Storm has exceeded the conversion price of the Series A Preferred
Stock for the consecutive trading days.

OPTION PLAN")

       All of the 1998 A Stock Option Plan options are exercisable at $0.50 per
share. Except for options granted to Calbert Lai and Stephen Venuti, all such
options will vest ratably over a period of three years on an annual basis. With
respect to Messrs. Venuti and Lai, one-half of these options will vest ratably
over a period of not less than three years from the date of grant, and the

ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

       In June 1999, the Board approved the establishment of an employee stock

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

RESULTS OF OPERATION

       On April 16, 1998, the Company's Reorganization Plan was confirmed by
the United States Bankruptcy Court and the Company emerged from bankruptcy
reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization resulted in a net reduction of
approximately $6,734,000 in principal and accrued interest on the Company's
Accounts Payable. As a result of the Reorganization, the recording of the
restructuring transaction and the implementation of Fresh Start Reporting, the
Company's results of

                                       23

<PAGE>   25

operations after July 17, 1998 (the cutoff date used for financial reporting
purposes) are not comparable to results reported in prior periods. See Note 1
to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on
consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and implementation of Fresh Start
Reporting. To facilitate a meaningful comparison of the Company's operating
performance in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, the following discussion of
results of operations on a consolidated basis is presented on a traditional
comparative basis for all periods. Consequently, the prior years' information
presented below does not comply with accounting requirements for companies upon
emergence from bankruptcy, which requirements call for separate reporting for
the newly reorganized company and the predecessor company.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       The Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $5,183,000 and arose primarily as a result of operating losses
and expenses associated with the Company's reorganization and subsequent merger
with Digital. The Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
approximately $2,872,000, primarily due to operating losses. The Company's
operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $4,701,000 as compared
to an operating loss of $2,438,000 for the year ending December 31, 1997. The
increase in operating loss of approximately $2,263,000 was caused primarily by
a decline in gross profit from the prior year of approximately $1,563,000 and
an decrease in operating expenses of approximately $932,000. Included in the
fiscal 1998 net loss is non-cash depreciation and amortization of approximately
$280,000 due primarily to amortization of the Company's Reorganization asset of
$3,060,000 million as of December 31, 1998.

       Revenue for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $2,913,000
and $6,108,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $3,195,000 due to the
change in focus of the Company from generating advertising service revenue to
seeking financing for the newly-merged corporation and developing E-commence
partnerships. Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$439,000 and $2,002,000, or 15% and 33 % of sales, respectively. The decrease
in gross profit was primarily a result of the Company's shift away from
advertising service revenue toward E-commerce development activities.

       Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$7,614,000 and $8,546,000, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses of
approximately $932,000 from the period a year earlier was primarily due to
financial consultants fees and attorneys' fees of $406,000 related to the
Company's reorganization, merger, and financing activities.

       Interest and Other expenses for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 were $482,000 and $434,000, respectively. As of December 31, 1998, the
outstanding debt of the Company was approximately $1,457,000, primarily all of
which is classified as current.

                                       24

<PAGE>   26

       The Company's auditors issued a going concern report. There can be no
assurance that management's plans to reduce working capital deficiency or
obtain additional financing will be successful.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       At December 31, 1998, the Company had current assets of $312,000 and
$778,000 in December, 31, 1997, while cash and cash equivalents were $5,000 at
year end 1998 compared to $0 at year end 1997. The Company's working capital
(deficit) at December 31, 1998 was $(3,445,000) as compared with a working
capital (deficit) of $(7,956,000) at December 31, 1997. This decrease in the
working capital (deficit) of approximately $4,558,000 is the result of a
reduction of Current Liabilities of $5,010,000 offset by an decrease of Current
Assets of $462,000.

       As of December 31, 1998, the Company owed $1,457,000 under notes payable
to certain shareholders. The Company also has a Factoring Agreement in place
with a lender secured by the Company's accounts receivable and other assets,
with a factoring liability as of December 31, 1998 of $1,144,000 up from
$821,000 as of December 31, 1997. The Company is in compliance with all
material covenants of the shareholder notes payable and Factoring Agreement as
of year end 1998.

       For the year ended December 31, 1998, net cash utilized by operations
was $1,907,000 compared to cash utilization of $321,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of the Company's Reorganization and a
net loss for the year of $5,183,000.

       As of December 31, 1998, Company management believes that the current
cash balance, cash from operations, and anticipated borrowings will not be
sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs for the next 12 months. The
Company is pursuing additional equity investment to fund its operating expenses
and working capital needs for the coming year. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital under acceptable terms to
fund its operations and investment strategy. Without additional capital, there
is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern and about the ability of the Company to realize its Reorganization
Asset.

INVESTING

       Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$12,000 and $287,000, respectively.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       The Company's operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
$2,438,000 as compared to an operating loss of $3,497,000 for the same period
in 1996. This decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable lower
operating expenses resulting from the downsizing of Company operations.

       The Company's sales for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$6,108,000 and $8,321,000, respectively. The decrease in sales of approximately
$2,213,000 is primarily attributable to the loss of a major client and the
Company's inability to replace lost revenue with new clients during the year.

$321,000 as compared to $959,000 of cash generated from operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996. The Company intends to use future debt or equity
financing or debt-to-equity conversions to help satisfy past due amounts and to
pay down its debt obligations. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to raise the necessary capital under acceptable terms, in any, or succeed
in its attempt to convert debt to equity. Should the Company fail to raise
necessary cash, it runs the risk of ceasing operations or being forced to
reorganize through bankruptcy.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

       This Readiness Disclosure is provided to advise of I-Storm's Year 2000
Compliance program for both I-Storm's internal systems and web sites designs.
As used herein, "Year 2000 Compliant" means that I-Storm has confirmed that
under the conditions of I-Storm's internal testing, I-Storm's internal systems
and web sites designs will perform as follows: (i) date calculations will
neither cause any abnormal termination of performance nor generate inconsistent
results and (ii) when sorting by date, all records will be sorted in accurate
sequence. Please note that this Readiness Disclosure is not provided as a
certification, representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied,
regarding Year 2000 Compliance and does not create or modify any contractual
relationships.

       I-Storm has allocated both personnel and other resources towards
achieving the Year 2000 Compliance of all of I-Storm's internal systems. In
implementing its Year 2000 Compliance program, I-Storm has identified and
inventoried all Year 2000 sensitive components in our internal systems and are
working to achieve the Year 2000 Compliance of all its components. I-Storm has
also made reasonable efforts to contact all vendors and suppliers that provide
I-Storm with Year 2000 sensitive components in order to determine the
compliance of such components. It is the intent of I-Storm's Year 2000
Compliance program to either repair or replace any components of our internal
systems which are determined not to be Year 2000 Compliant.

       I-Storm is working towards full Year 2000 Compliance for all of its
products and services. Because I-Storm does not control other companies'
products, including other companies' hardware and software, I-Storm does not
promise that any other companies' products or software will not suffer any
errors or malfunctions related to Year 2000. While I-Storm tests all of its web
site designs, I-Storm does not certify that these sites will perform as tested
when used with other companies' products, when modified or customized, or when
used under circumstances not reflected in the testing

                                       29

<PAGE>   31

I-Storm has performed. To date, I-Storm has not encountered any problems
associated with Year 2000 Compliance in its products, services, or internal
systems, and will continue to take all reasonable steps to ensure the same.

       In 1998, I-Storm incurred insignificant costs with respect to Year 2000
compliance expenses. I-Storm expects that it may incur approximately $70,000 in
1999 for Year 2000 compliance costs Although I-Storm foresees no other
significant Year 2000 compliance expenses, there is always a possibility of
unforeseen further expenses in 1999 and beyond with respect to Year 2000
compliance.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To I-Storm, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of I-Storm, Inc.
(a Nevada corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 1998, July
17, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders equity (deficit) and cash flows
for the periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of I-Storm, Inc. as of December
31, 1998, July 17, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to
the financial statements, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
effective July 17, 1998 and is in the development stage with no significant
operating results to date. The bankruptcy proceedings significantly affected
the Company's capital structure, liquidity, and capital resources. These
factors and others discussed in Note 1 raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and about the ability of
the Company to realize its Reorganization Asset. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998


1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY:

COMPANY FORMATION AND FINANCIAL REORGANIZATION

I-Storm, Inc. (the "Company" or "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.

Since December 1989, Digital has not engaged in any material business
operations. Its only activities since that time have consisted of restoring and
maintaining its good standing in the State of Nevada.

I-Storm is an Internet advertising, marketing and communications agency, and
the developer of the "I-Storm CyberStore" concept, a joint venture program to
finance, design, develop, and operate electronic commerce storefronts in
partnership with brand-name consumer and technology product companies as of
December 31, 1998. LVL has developed electronic and on-line commerce
("E-commerce") on behalf of international manufacturing and technology
corporations.

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. The principal
terms of the POR are as follows:

       1.    LVLA and LVLI merged into LVL.

       2.    LVL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital.

       3.    The outstanding shares of common stock of LVL ("Old Common Stock")
             and options to purchase Old Common Stock were canceled effective
             July 17, 1998.

       4.    Certain founders and shareholders of LVL received 600,000 shares
             of common stock of the Company, subject to certain restrictions on
             the sale and disposition of these shares.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

       5.    Certain secured claims are to be repaid by the Company pursuant to
             the original terms of the agreements or will be repaid over five
             years in equal quarterly installments at an annual interest rate
             of 10%.

       6.    An investor in LVL, Trident III, LLC ("Trident") that provided
             $600,000 in pre-confirmation bridge financing was issued 600,000
             shares of redeemable non-voting common stock and 440,000 shares of
             non-redeemable common stock.

       7.    All unsecured claims will receive a pro rata portion of 600,000
             shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series
             A"). Claims of less than $5,000 may elect to receive 10% of their
             claim in cash in lieu of receiving shares of Series A ("Cash
             Option"). Claims exceeding $5,000 may elect to reduce their claim
             to $5,000 and receive $500 in lieu of receiving shares of Series
             A. The pool of 600,000 shares of Series A was reduced by the
             percentage dollar amount of claims electing the Cash Option.

       8.    The Company issued warrants to purchase common stock to certain
             investors and service providers during the reorganization.

The Company also concluded the following additional transactions relating to
the restructuring of the Company:

       1.    Trident provided $228,000 in post-confirmation bridge financing and
             received 91,200 shares of non-voting common stock.

       2.    The Company has also received $100,000 in pre-confirmation bridge
             financing and $300,000 in post-confirmation bridge financing from
             other investors. The Company issued warrants to purchase 80,000
             shares of common stock at $0.50 per share and 120,000 shares of
             common stock at $0.001 per share, respectively, in conjunction with
             these financings.

       3.    I-Storm issued warrants to purchase 290,000 shares of common stock
             at $0.25 per share in conjunction with post-confirmation bridge
             financing of $725,0000.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Chapter 11 proceedings significantly affected I-Storm's capital structure,
liquidity and capital resources. During 1997 and 1998, the Company's operations
generated substantial losses. 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 $3.1
million bankruptcy Reorganization Asset over the next ten years).

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: 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.

In order to achieve successful operations, the Company will require additional
capital to sustain and expand its business. I-Storm has raised net proceeds of
approximately $5.7 million since December 31, 1998. I-Storm is currently
seeking additional equity financing and is seeking to list its stock on a
nationally-recognized exchange. 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.

In addition to the need for additional financing, I-Storm is subject to a
number of other risk factors including, but not limited to, 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 new E-Commence CyberStore concept.

FRESH START ACCOUNTING

AICPA Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," prescribes the use of "fresh start
accounting" when the sum of the allowed claims plus post-petition liabilities
exceeds the value of pre-confirmation assets and the entity experiences a
change in control as pre-reorganization equity holders effectively receive less
than 50% of new common stock issued pursuant to the POR. Under these
circumstances, a new reporting entity is created and assets and liabilities
should be recorded at their fair values. This accounting treatment is referred
to as "fresh start reporting."

Distributions in settlement of allowed claims, other transactions pursuant to
the POR and fresh start reporting adjustments have been applied to I-Storm's
pre-confirmation balance sheet resulting in the accompanying July 17, 1998
consolidated balance sheet of I-Storm. Since fresh start accounting results in
a new reporting entity, amounts included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of or subsequent to July 17, 1998 are not intended to
be comparable to financial statements as of or for any previous period.

Fresh start reporting equity value was determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of I-Storm. I-Storm has valued the Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock at $1.00 per share, representing proceeds to the unsecured
creditors of approximately $0.10 per $1.00 of liabilities. Redeemable common
stock has also been valued at $1.00 based on the redemption features of the
common stock. Common stock has been valued at $0.25 per share based on the
value of the last transaction involving Digital's common stock. Warrants to
purchase common stock to be issued pursuant to the POR have been valued at
approximately $0.13 based on an option-pricing model.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying 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.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, I-Storm considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less
to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts
on deposit at a commercial bank.

I-Storm paid cash of $80,360, $57,797 and $208,328, for interest in the periods
ended December 31, and July 17, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1997.
I-Storm paid cash of $0, $4,176 and $11,028, for taxes in the periods ended
December 31, 1998 and July 17, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1997.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject I-Storm to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. I-Storm performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally
does not require collateral.

straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (three to seven years) of
the assets.

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
consolidated balance sheet of I-Storm and will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over ten years. As of December 31, 1998, the value of the Reorganization
Asset was approximately $3,060,000. 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."

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," in October 1995. This accounting standard permits the use of
either a fair value based method of accounting or the method defined in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" to account for stock-based compensation arrangements. Companies
that elect to employ the method prescribed by APB 25 are required to disclose
the pro forma net income (loss) that would have resulted from the use of the
fair value based method. I-Storm has elected to account for its stock-based
compensation arrangements under the provisions of APB 25, and accordingly, it
has included the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 in Note 8.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

I-Storm's revenues consist principally of services related to development and
maintenance of web sites. I-Storm recognizes revenue as the services are
provided. To the extent costs incurred and anticipated costs to complete
projects in progress exceed anticipated billings, a loss is accrued for the
excess.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
which I-Storm adopted beginning on January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The objective
of SFAS No. 130 is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an
enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the
period other than transactions with shareholders ("comprehensive income ").
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and all other
non-owner

changes in equity. For the periods ended December 31, 1998 and July 17, 1997,
and the year ended December 31, 1997, I-Storm's comprehensive loss was equal to
net loss.

COMPUTATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE AND PRO FORMA BASIC AND
DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," basic net loss per
common share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period less shares subject to repurchase.
Basic and diluted pro forma net loss per common share, as presented in the
statements of operations, has been computed as described above and also gives
effect to the conversion of the convertible preferred stock if anti-dilutive
(using the if-converted method) from the original date of issuance.

SEGMENT REPORTING

During 1998, I-Storm adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires a new basis of
determining reportable business segments (i.e., the management approach). This
approach requires that business segment information used by management to
assess performance and manage company resources be the source for information
disclosure. On this basis, I-Storm has only one business segment, the
development and implementation of the eStore concept.

During the periods ended December 31, 1998 and July 17, 1998, and the year
ended December 31, 1997, I-Storm's revenue was generated in the United States.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires companies to record
derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of
those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative
and whether it qualifies for hedging accounting. The key criterion for hedge
accounting is that the hedging relationship must be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows. In June 1999, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which
amends SFAS No. 133 to be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000 (or January 1, 2001 for I-Storm). This Statement
will not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of the
operations of I-Storm.

3.     FACTORED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

I-Storm has entered into a factoring agreement with a financial institution.
Under this arrangement, I-Storm sells to the financial institution all
third-party receivables that meet certain criteria outlined in the agreement.
The financial institution has the right to charge back any receivables that are
not paid within 90 days of the invoice date to I-Storm. As I-Storm does not
surrender control over the factored receivables, the amounts received from the
transfer are treated as secured borrowings until either payment is received by
the financial institution or the receivable is put back to I-Storm. The
factoring agreement expired on March 25, 1999. As of December 31, 1998, July
17, 1998, and December 31, 1997, I-Storm had $1,144,000, $700,000, and
$821,000, respectively, outstanding in factoring liability related to the
factoring agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, I-Storm has completely
paid off the factoring liability.

The following table shows the component elements of factored accounts
receivable from customers (in thousands):

6.     REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK:

In conjunction with the POR, I-Storm issued 600,000 shares of redeemable common
stock to Trident in consideration for $600,000 of pre-confirmation bridge
financing. These shares are redeemable at $1.00 per share, at Trident's option,
in the event that I-Storm raises $3 million in debt or equity financing.
Subsequent to December 31, 1998, Trident elected to convert the redeemable
common stock into non-redeemable common stock.

7.     PREFERRED STOCK:

As of December 31, 1998, I-Storm was authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of
preferred stock of which 600,000 shares are designated Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A"). Pursuant to the POR, these shares
will be issued on a pro rata basis to the class of unsecured creditors. These
shares will be issued upon the identification of these claims and the
determination of shares to be issued or the Cash Option elected, and have been
reflected as subscribed shares in the accompanying balance sheet. The shares of
Series A to be issued pursuant to the POR have been valued at $1.00 per share
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the POR,
these shares may not be transferred or sold until twelve months after the
merger of LVL into Digital.

The rights, restrictions, and preferences of Series A are as follows:

       - The holders of Series A shall, upon the vote of the majority of the
         Board of Directors, be entitled to receive, out of funds legally
         available therefore, cumulative annual dividends at a rate of $0.05 per
         annum per share, respectively, prior and in preference to any payment
         of any dividend on the common stock, payable in cash or common stock
         at the option of the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall be paid
         when and as declared by the Board of Directors, and unpaid dividends
         shall accumulate for the benefit of the holders. The dividend rights
         and preferences of the Series A shall be senior to those of common
         stock. After the dividend preferences of the Series A due in a given
         year have been paid in full, all remaining dividends in such year, if
         any, shall be paid according to preference to remaining equity
         interests.

       - In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of
         I-Storm, or the sale, merger, or combination of I-Storm, a public
         offering in excess of $25 million, and merger or consolidation of
         I-Storm in which its shareholders do not retain a majority of the
         voting power in the surviving corporation, or a sale of substantially
         all of I-Storm's assets (singularly or collectively referred to as a
         "Liquidation Preference Event"), the holders of the Series A will be
         entitled to receive an amount equal to $6.67 per share for the Series
         A, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends (the
         "Preference Amount"). After the Preference Amount on all outstanding
         shares of

         Series A has been paid, any remaining funds and assets of I-Storm
         legally available for distribution shall be paid pro rata solely among
         the holders of common stock. If I-Storm has insufficient assets to
         permit payment of the Preference Amount in full to all holders of
         Series A, then the assets of I-Storm shall be distributed ratably to
         the holders of Series A in proportion to the Preference Amount each
         such holder would have been entitled to receive.

       - The Series A shall be redeemable in part or in full at the option of
         I-Storm on thirty days advance written notice to the holders of Series
         A at a redemption price of $6.67 per share. Upon receipt of notice of
         I-Storm's intention to redeem the Series A, each holder of Series A
         shall have an option to convert to common stock as described below.
         Any partial redemption shall be made on a pro rata basis.

       - Each holder of Series A shall have the right to convert the Series A
         into shares of common stock in part or in full at any time, including
         within thirty days after notice by I-Storm of its intention to redeem
         the Series A or of a Liquidation Preference Event. The initial
         conversion rate for the Series A shall be one-to-one. All rights
         incident to a share of Series A (including but not limited to rights
         to any declared but unpaid dividends) will terminate automatically
         upon any conversion of such share into common stock. The number of
         shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of
         Series A shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
         occurrence of certain events.

       - The holders of Series A shall have the right to vote as a class on (i)
         the merger, sale, liquidation, or dissolution of I-Storm, (ii) a sale
         of all or substantially all of I-Storm's assets, (iii) any increase in
         the number of authorized shares of any class or series of equity
         securities of I-Storm, (iv) creation of any new class or series of
         equity securities in LVL, (v) any increase in the number of members of
         the Board of Directors of I-Storm and LVL, and (vi) election of one
         member of the Board of Directors of I-Storm and LVL.

8.    COMMON STOCK:

At December 31, 1998, common stock consists of 3,326,000 shares outstanding,
and an additional 1,482,000 shares subscribed. The subscribed shares consist of
shares to be issued pursuant to the POR that had not been issued as of December
31, 1998. The Board of Directors authorized the issuance of these shares on
July 23, 1998. The shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the POR have
been valued at $0.25 per share, as determined in good faith by I-Storm's Board
of Directors. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock entitles the
holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of I-Storm, holders of
common stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets available for
distribution to shareholders, only after payment or provision for payment of
all debts and other liabilities of I-Storm, including a pro-rata distribution
of assets, first, to the holders of Series A.

Shares of common stock issued pursuant to the POR and shares issued upon the
exercise of warrants issued pursuant to the POR may not be transferred or sold
within six months of the merger of LVL and Digital for holders of common stock
that had provided financing to I-Storm. Shares may not be transferred or sold
within eighteen months of the merger of LVL and Digital for holders of common
stock that had not provided financing to I-Storm. The Board of Directors may
release all or a portion of these restrictions at its discretion.

1998 STOCK OPTION PLAN

As provided in the POR and subject to stockholder approval, in 1998, I-Storm
established the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Option Plan") covering
1,400,000 shares of common stock. Options granted under the 1998 Option Plan may
be either incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options, as designated
by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the 1998 Option Plan expire on
the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The 1998 Option Plan provides that
the exercise price of each incentive stock option will be no less than 100% of
the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. The exercise
price of each nonstatutory stock option will be no less than 85% of the fair
market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. The exercise price to
an optionee who possesses more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock will be no less than 110% of the fair market value of the
common stock at the date of the grant and is not exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date of grant. Vesting provisions of
individual options under the 1998 Option Plan may vary as the Board of Directors
has the authority to set exercise dates, payment terms and other provisions for
each grant. As of December 31, 1998, there were no shares outstanding under the
1998 Option Plan. In accordance with APB No. 25, no compensation expense has
been recognized related to options granted to employees, as there were no
options granted to employees as of December 31, 1998.

these warrants on July 23, 1998. I-Storm has valued these warrants at
approximately $0.13 per share based on an option pricing model.
