**nSTOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**            PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION**

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of nStor Technologies, Inc. (“nStor”) and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Significant intercompany balances and transactionshave been eliminated in consolidation.

**            BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operationsfor the interim periods presented.  These interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.  The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financialstatements and related notes contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements.

**            GOING CONCERN**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in thenormal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company experienced net losses of $6 million and $8 million, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2004 the Company's net loss amounted to $2.1 million.  Inaddition, the Company has negative working capital of $10.7 million as of March 31, 2004, which reflects borrowings of $8.7 million from H. Irwin Levy, the Company's Chairman of the Board and a significant shareholder, or companies controlled by Mr. Levy(collectively, “Mr. Levy”).  These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

A recent significant development for the Company is the placement of a new executive management team, which the Company believes will be the foundation for generating positive future operating results.  Effective April21, 2004, Todd Gresham was appointed Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of the Company’s board of directors; Steve Aleshire was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Lisa Hart was appointed Executive Vice President,Marketing and Alliances.  See Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The new management team has substantial experience in the data storage industry and they have begun to implement marketing, sales and engineering strategies which the Companybelieves will generate increased revenues and improved gross margins, while targeting the Company's product development activities to the small and medium size market.

During the last two years, the Company has made substantial efforts to: (i) streamline its operations; (ii) establish the foundation for generating positive cash flows and operating profits; and (iii) obtain sufficientfinancing to cover its working capital needs.  These efforts include cost reductions achieved from outsourcing the manufacturing of the Company's data storage products (“Storage Solutions”) since mid 2002 and from the relocation of theCompany’s executive and Storage Solutions business headquarters to a more economical facility in Carlsbad, California in December 2002.  The outsourcing contract produced a significant improvement in gross margins by lowering manufacturing costs.  Inaddition, the outsourcing allowed the Company to reduce its overall operating costs,

principally as a result of the phase out of the Company's manufacturing facility during the 2002 third quarter.  Direct sales personnel and other costs were reduced as part of the Company’s strategy to providegreater emphasis on indirect customer channels (principally original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) and solutions integrators (SI’s)).  The Company has recently been successful in concluding several major OEM sales agreements.

In November 2003, the Company entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with a financial institution under which the Company may sell up to $2.5 million of its accounts receivables related to its Storage Solutionsbusiness (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  This Agreement replaced a similar arrangement with another financial institution for a $750,000 line of credit.

Since January 1, 2002 and through April 30, 2004, the Company obtained $11.1 million of equity and debt financing from private investors, including $8.1 million from Mr. Levy.  In addition, in connection with theCompany’s outsourcing contract, Mr. Levy has provided collateral for a bank to issue a $1 million letter of credit (“LC”), subsequently reduced to $500,000, for the benefit of the contractor (see Note 3 to Consolidated FinancialStatements).

At March 31, 2004, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $234,000.  The Company has insufficient liquidity to fund its operating needs for the next twelve months and is currently exploring alternativesfor raising additional capital to finance its short-term and long-term plans as well as operating deficits expected to be incurred until the Company begins to generate positive operating cash flows.  However, there can be no assurance that such requiredadditional funds will be available on terms acceptable to management, if at all, or that the Company will be able to generate positive cash flows from operations in the future. 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may resultfrom the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

**            BUSINESS**

                        Storage Solutions

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, nStor Corporation, develops data storage solutions that are designed for the small and medium-size markets.  The Company’s controller technology, applications-drivenstorage platforms and StorView software form the foundation for the NexStor family of turnkey solutions that support Microsoft Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Macintosh operating environments.  The Company’s products are offered in various architecturesincluding Fibre Channel, Fibre-to-SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface), SCSI and SATA (Serial ATA) and are focused on addressing customers’ business needs and applications.

                        Telemanagement Solutions

Stonehouse Technologies, Inc. (“Stonehouse”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a provider of telecommunications software and services solutions that help large enterprises manage their communications expenses, assetsand processes.

**            REVENUE RECOGNITION**

                        Telemanagement Solutions

In accordance with provisions of the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accounts) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, and related accounting guidance, revenues from computer software sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance of the software has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Consulting revenues arerecognized when services are performed.  Revenues on long-term development contracts are deferred at time of sale and using the percentage-of-completion method are recognized based upon hours incurred as a percentage of estimated total hours.  Maintenancerevenues for customer support and product updates are deferred at the time of sale and are included in income on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement, generally for one year.

             **INDEMNIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS AND GUARANTEES**

The Company adopted FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness ofOthers” effective January 1, 2003.  FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of certain guarantees, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.  The following disclosures are made withrespect to the Company’s product warranties, guarantees and various indemnification arrangements.

The Company’s standard warranty for its Storage Solutions business is a three-year return-to-factory policy, which covers both parts and labor.  Warranties provided by manufacturers for products the Companydistributes, including warranties for disk drives, are passed on to the customer.  The Company has not recorded warranty reserves.  Although the Company has not experienced material warranty claims in the past, there can be no assurance that future warrantyclaims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial condition and operating results.

In November 2003, nStor Technologies, Inc. became the guarantor for its Storage Solutions subsidiary indebtedness under an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  UnderFIN 45, a parent’s guarantee of its subsidiary debt to a third party does not require recognition as a liability.  Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to repay the financial institution for the unpaid balance of any purchased receivablesnot paid within 90 days.

The Company may undertake indemnification obligations in the ordinary course of business related to its products, the licensing of its software and the issuance of its securities.  Under these arrangements, the Companymay agree to indemnify other parties, such as business partners, customers, and underwriters, for certain losses suffered, claims of intellectual property infringement, negligence and intentional acts in the performance of services, and violations of laws includingcertain violations of securities laws.  The Company is unable to estimate with any reasonable accuracy the liability that may be incurred pursuant to its indemnification obligations.  Some of the factors that would affect this assessment include, but arenot limited to, the nature of the claim asserted, the relative merits of the claim, the nature and amount of damages claimed and the willingness of the parties to reach a settlement.  Because of the uncertainty surrounding these circumstances, theCompany’s indemnification obligations could range from immaterial to having a material adverse impact on its financial position and its results of operations.

**           ****USE OF ESTIMATES**

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

**            RECLASSIFICATIONS**

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on operating results previously reported.

**            RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS (“R&D”)**

                        Storage Solutions

R&D costs associated with our Storage Solutions business are expensed as incurred.

                        Telemanagement Solutions

In accordance with SFAS (Statement of Financial Accounting Standard) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”, R&D costs associated with the creation of asoftware product are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established.  Thereafter, software production costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.  Capitalized software costs are amortized overthe greater of (a) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product or (b) the ratio that current gross revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product.  Amortizationbegins when the product is available for general release to customers.  Other R&D costs are expensed as incurred.

**            NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE ("EPS")**

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares considered outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPSincludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities.  For the periods presented, the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been antidilutive.  Accordingly, basic and diluted EPS for those periods are the same.

**            STOCK BASED COMPENSATION**

The Company applies APB (Accounting Principles Board) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations, in accounting for options granted to employees under its stock optionplans.  Under APB Opinion 25, if options are granted at exercise prices less than fair market value, compensation expense is recorded for the excess of the fair market values on the date of grant over the exercise price.

Under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”), stock options to purchase up to 7.5 million shares of the Company's common stock were available to be granted to officers, directors, keyemployees and non-employees.  Options granted under the 2001 Plan have a maximum term of ten years and generally vest over three years annually on an equal basis.

Upon shareholder approval of the 2001 Plan in January 2002, the Company ceased granting options under its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan") and all shares reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan that had not yet beenissued were cancelled.  The terms of options previously granted under the 1996 Plan continue to be governed by the 1996 Plan and the option agreements currently in effect for those options.

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for stock options granted had beendetermined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements under SFAS No. 148 regarding prominent disclosures in interim financial statements in January 2003.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company granted options to purchase 205,000 shares of common stock and 740,000 shares (including 700,000 shares to Mr. Levy) of common stock, respectively.  TheCompany estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants:

If the Company had elected to recognize stock-based employee compensation costs based on the fair value on the date of grant consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, net loss available tocommon stock and basic and diluted net loss per common share would have been increased to the following amounts (in thousands, except per share):

**            RECENT AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS**

In April 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 129-1 (FSP 121-1), “Disclosure Requirements under FASB Statement No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Relating to ContingentlyConvertible Securities”.  FSP 129-1 requires disclosure of the significant terms or conditions under which contingently convertible securities are convertible and is effective April 2004.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect, ifany, that FSP 121-1 may have on its financial position or results of operations.

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized its consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-06, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share”.  EITF03-06 clarifies what constitutes a participating security and requires the use of the two-class method for computing basic earnings per share when participating convertible securities exist.  EITF 03-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after March31, 2004.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect, if any, that EITF 03-06 may have on its financial position or results of operations.

On December 17, 2003, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, which superseded SAB 101,“Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”.  SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21,“Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”  Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the FAQ) issued with SAB 101 that had been codifiedin SAB Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition”.  Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104.  While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remainlargely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104.  The Company’s adoption of SAB 104 in December 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s revenue recognition policies, nor the Company’s financial position or results ofoperations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measurescertain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity for purposes of the issuer’s statement of financial position.  Provisions of SFAS No. 150 are (i) effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31,2003, and otherwise are effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, and (ii) to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance dateof SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.  On November 7, 2003, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 150-3 (FSP 150-3), “Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments ofCertain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.”  FSP 150-3 deferred certain aspects ofSFAS 150.  The Company’s adoption of this statement during the third quarter of 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued EITF 03-5, “Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing More-Than-Incidental Software”.  EITF 03-5 reached theconclusion that in an arrangement that includes software that is more than incidental to the products or services as a whole, the software and software-related elements are included within the scope of SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”.  TheCompany’s adoption of this EITF during the third quarter of 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

**(2)**  **GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS**

Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost and, through December 31, 2001, was amortized under the straight line method over sevenyears.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets no longer be amortized, but instead be tested at least annuallyfor impairment.  Accordingly, the Company discontinued its amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002.

During early 2004, the Company engaged an independent valuation firm to prepare an impairment analysis of the Company’s goodwill.   Based on this analysis, the Company’s goodwill is not considered to beimpaired as of January 1, 2004.

As of March 31, 2004, the carrying amount of goodwill, other intangible assets and capitalized software development costs included the following by business segments (in thousands):

            *Revolving Credit Facilities*

*                        Storage Solutions*

In November 2003, the Company entered into a one-year Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with a financial institution under which the Company may sell up to $2.5 million of its Storage Solutions accounts receivables(“Purchased Receivables”) based on a purchase price of 80% of eligible receivables.  The remaining 20% of eligible receivables is remitted to the Company, less applicable fees, upon collection of the invoice in full.  The Agreement iscollateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Storage Solutions subsidiary and requires monthly fees of 1.06% of the average daily balance of unpaid Purchased Receivables.  The Company is obligated to repay the financial institutionfor the unpaid balance of any Purchased Receivables not paid within 90 days.  This Agreement replaced a similar arrangement in effect since August 2002 with another financial institution, for a $750,000 line of credit with monthly fees of 2.1%.  At March31, 2004, the unpaid balance of Purchased Receivables amounted to approximately $1.3 million.

                        *Telemanagement Solutions*

In July 2003, Stonehouse entered into an asset-based revolving line of credit with a financial institution (the “Credit Facility”), which provides for Stonehouse to borrow up to $500,000 based on specifiedpercentages of eligible receivables.

The Credit Facility replaced a line of credit with similar terms with another financial institution.

**(4)  DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION**

In connection with employment agreements effective as of March 1, 2003, Stonehouse granted options to purchase shares of common stock of Stonehouse, which would result in its new President and a second employee holding aminority interest in Stonehouse upon the exercise of any or all of the vested options.  The intrinsic value of the options, valued at $801,000, as adjusted, is based on the excess of the fair market value of Stonehouse common stock, as determined by anindependent valuation firm, over the exercise price of the options.  The intrinsic value was reflected in shareholders' equity as a charge to deferred stock compensation and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options.  Amortization of $3,000and $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is included in Stock-Based Compensation in the accompanying Statements of Operations.  Unamortized deferred stock compensation of $82,000 as of March 31, 2004 will be amortizedthrough May 2007.

**(5)  INCOME TAXES**

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that havebeen included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under the SFAS No. 109  liability method, deferred  tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets andliabilities  using enacted tax rates expected  to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary  differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates isrecognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company provides a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

As of December 31, 2003, there were unused net operating loss carryforwards (the "NOL's") for regular federal income tax purposes of approximately $75.8 million and approximately $16.7 million for California tax purposes,expiring from 2006 through 2023 and 2004 through 2014, respectively.  In addition, the Company has research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.5 million, which expire from 2004 through 2023 and in conjunction with the AlternativeMinimum Tax ("AMT") rules, the Company has available AMT credit carryforwards of approximately $770,000, which may be used indefinitely to reduce regular federal income taxes.

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, in connection with a 1999 acquisition, the usage of approximately $8 million of federal NOL's and approximately $2 million of California NOL's is limited annually to approximately$400,000.  Currently, California has a moratorium on the usage of its NOL's.  The usage of certain tax credit carryforwards is also subject to limitation.  In addition, in connection with the 2002 acquisition of Stonehouse, the usage of approximately$2.8 million of federal NOL's is limited annually to approximately $500,000.

At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, a 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the total deferred income tax assets because it is more likely than not that the NOL’s will not be realized based on recentoperating results.

**(7)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**             LITIGATION**

In February 2002, W. David Sykes, the Company's former Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales, filed a complaint against one of the Company's subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida, in whichMr. Sykes claims he was wrongfully terminated under provisions of his employment agreement with the Company.  The Company believes that it acted in accordance with the termination provisions of the agreement and that no further compensation or benefits are dueto Mr. Sykes.  In May 2003, Mr. Sykes filed an amended complaint, adding nStor Technologies, Inc. as a defendant, based upon its guaranty of the terms and conditions of the employment agreement between Mr. Sykes and the Company's subsidiary.  In June 2003,the Company filed a counterclaim against Mr. Sykes for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, based upon his sale of nStor stock while in possession of material, non-public information.  The litigation is still in its preliminary stages.  TheCompany intends to vigorously defend Mr. Sykes' claims and does not believe at this time that the litigation will have a material adverse impact on the Company.

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the Company is not a party to any litigation the outcome of whichwould have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or cash flows.

**(8)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT**

Effective April 21, 2004, the Company appointed Todd Gresham as Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of the Company’s board of directors; Steve Aleshire as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer;and Lisa Hart, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Alliances.  In connection with their respective employment agreements, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 16,863,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (approximately 10% of theCompany’s currently outstanding common shares) at exercise prices equal to $.44 per share, representing 110% of the market value (as defined in the employment agreements), for 50% of the options, and $.48 per share, representing 120% of the market value, forthe remaining 50%.  The individual option grants were 11,500,000 shares for Mr. Gresham, 3,300,000 shares for Mr. Aleshire and 2,063,000 shares for Ms. Hart.  The options vest in equal quarterly installments over four years.  Vesting is subject toacceleration under certain circumstances, such as early termination of the optionees’ employment agreement without cause.  The number of options granted is subject to increase, or decrease, during 2004 based on the occurrence of certain dilutive oraccretive events to maintain the percentage of the total award for all three executives at approximately 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

**Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Forward-Looking Statements**

With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements.  Suchstatements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.  Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our inability to increasesales to current customers and to expand our customer base, continued acceptance of our products in the marketplace, timing and volume of sales orders, material cost fluctuations, competitive factors, dependence upon third-party vendors, our future cash flows andability to obtain sufficient financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the technology industry and the economy in general, legal proceedings and other risks detailed in our periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports we file withthe SEC.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

**Overview**

Our operations are organized in two reportable segments: Storage Solutions and Telemanagement Solutions.  Since 1996, we have been a developer of data storage products and services, focused on transforming how themarketplace stores and exchanges information.  We design, manufacture and provide products and services that support data networks using advanced technologies.  Our Storage Solutions business has both a technology and a market focus and is dedicated toon-going research and development initiatives that support our customer needs.

Our Storage Solutions are principally sold to a network of OEM’s and SI’s under the nStor brand or the unique brand of respective distribution partners.  Our Telemanagement Solutions are sold to largecorporations, state and municipal governments, and other organizations with large and complex public, private and hybrid communications networks. 

During the course of the past year, we have evolved our Storage Solutions business to be a provider of flexible, high performance and intelligent Storage Solutions.  The headquarters for our Storage Solutions business andour executive offices are located in Carlsbad, California.  We also operate an engineering center in Lake Mary, Florida for the design, development and testing of our storage enclosure and controller technologies.  Our current product family includesapplications-driven storage platforms, RAID controllers, and storage management software.  Since our acquisition of Dallas, Texas-based Stonehouse Technologies, Inc. in June 2002, we have also been a provider of Telemanagement Solutions, including software andoutsourcing solutions that help large enterprises manage their telecommunications expenses, assets and processes.

We believe that our Storage Solutions products have a reputation for innovation, quality, high performance technology and competitive pricing.  However, a number of significant challenges, including limited cash resourcesthat restricted our ability to fund certain sales, marketing and other initiatives, certain personnel issues, as well as the downturn in the data storage industry and the economy in general, have resulted in our company incurring substantial net losses and preventedus from achieving net positive cash flows from operations.  Our Telemanagement Solutions business, however, has not incurred net cash deficits since our acquisition.

----

Based on the quality of our products (including the recently introduced Serial ATA product line), validation of these products through recent major OEM contracts, as well as the significant growth potential of the SMB/SME(small-medium-business / small-medium-enterprise) segment of the data storage market, we believe that the most critical component necessary for the future success of our Storage Solutions business was the employment of an experienced and proven management team. Effective April 21, 2004, we were successful in attracting a new executive management team with substantial experience in the data storage industry.  Todd Gresham was appointed our Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our board of directors; SteveAleshire was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Lisa Hart was appointed Executive Vice President, Marketing and Alliances. With the addition of these officers, we believe that we are in a position to capture an increased market shareof the rapidly growing SMB/SME.  Plans are currently underway to transition the company toward providing a more complete data storage solution, including adding new software applications and related functionality, and to expand our current sales channeldevelopment efforts.

Key challenges to succeeding with these plans include our ability to (1) provide existing major OEM customers with the resources and assistance necessary for them to accelerate sales volumes; (2) continue to design and developinnovative and competitive products; (3) anticipate changing trends in customer demand; and (4) integrate value-added software into our hardware offerings which can be customized for enterprise customers, departmental workgroups and SMB/SME’s across selectedkey vertical markets.  Other major challenges are to continue to effectively manage our contract manufacturers, control operating costs and obtain adequate funds to cover our working capital needs until we begin to generate positive cash flows.  We havehistorically obtained such funds through equity and/or debt capital from Mr. Levy and other private investors.  Since we presently have insufficient liquidity to fund our short-term and long-term operating needs, we are exploring various alternatives for raisingcapital; however, we cannot project with any degree of certainty that such funds will be available on terms that are acceptable.

**Results of Operations**

***Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 vs. March 31, 2003***

We incurred a net loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the 2003 quarter. We believe that a more appropriate measure of theunderlying operating results of our business excludes non-cash and non-operational items as presented by business segment in the following table (in thousands).  Furthermore, management uses loss before non-cash and non-operational items internally as a measureof our operating performance.  Loss before non-cash and non-operational items should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, or superior to, net loss or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with Generally AcceptedAccounting Principles (GAAP).

Storage Solutions Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased by 89% and reflects a $417,000 reduction in sales, compared to 2003’s first quarter, to one domestic indirect customer, which has been phasingout of our product.  This customer accounted for 44% of our Storage Solutions business in the 2003 quarter.  Since that quarter, we have been successful in diversifying our customer base as evidenced by an overall increase of approximately $1 million, or96%, in indirect sales during the 2004 quarter compared to the 2003 first quarter despite the significant reduction in sales to that customer.  A significant amount of this increase was attributable to foreign customers, generally concentrated in Japan andChina.  Our indirect sales have increasingly become a larger proportion of our total sales in recent years and is the direct result of our strategy to market our products primarily to OEM's and SI's, and to provide greater technological, marketing and salessupport to those markets.

Due to our focus on non-domestic markets, we expect our foreign sales to continue to be a significant part of our Storage Solutions Sales during the remainder of 2004.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, sales to two customers represented 33% of our Storage Solutions Sales.  During the 2003 period, sales to two customers accounted for 57% of sales.  See Note 6 toConsolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of Segment Information and Sales to Significant Customers.

We expect an increase in Storage Solutions Sales during the remainder of 2004 based on the initial response to our Serial ATA product line that we began to offer to our customers in early 2004.

            **Telemanagement Solutions**

The 44% increase in Telemanagement Solutions Sales includes $382,000 in sales to a single new customer.  We expect an increase in Telemanagement Solutions Sales during the remainder of 2004 based on new customerrelationships recently formed.

The current quarter’s Storage Solutions gross margins are net of a $68,000 non-cash charge to increase the reserve on our legacy products to 100%.  Excluding this charge, gross margins would have been 26%, a slightincrease over the 2003 period.  Telemanagement Solutions gross margins declined primarily as a result of the classification to cost of sales of certain employees previously performing non-cost of sales functions, as well as the product mix of revenuesrecognized.

We expect gross margins to increase during the remainder of 2004.

Our gross margins are dependent, in part, on product mix, which fluctuates from time to time.  Our material costs are subject to fluctuations experienced during business cycles that create shortages and excess supplies ofsome critical components, thereby creating increases and decreases in costs.

SG&A attributable to our Storage Solutions business increased $409,000 during the 2004 period primarily as a result of (i) additional salaries and related costs associated with our sales and marketing efforts, (ii) consulting fees paid to our new executivemanagement team prior to their employment in April 2004, and (iii) increases in certain public company related costs.  The $164,000 increase in SG&A attributable to our Telemanagement Solutions business is primarily the result of increased salaries andrelated costs in connection with higher sales activity experienced in the 2004 first quarter and anticipated during the remainder of 2004.  We do not expect significant increases during the remainder of 2004 in SG&A above the 2004 first quarter attributableto our Storage Solutions or our Telemanagement Solutions businesses.

The $421,000 increase in R&D expenses associated with our Storage Solutions business is primarily the result of prototype, testing and other related costs.  Our Telemanagement Solutions business did not incur R&Dexpenses during the three months ended March 31, 2004.  During the 2003 period, our Telemanagement Solutions business incurred $203,000 of R&D expenses, all of which were capitalized as software development costs in connection with our MONIES®10.0software solution.

R&D costs associated with our Storage Solutions business are expensed as incurred.  R&D costs incurred by our Telemanagement Solutions business has been related to the development of our MONIESâ10.0 software solution and were expensed as incurred until technological feasibility was established in October 2002.  Thereafter, such costswere capitalized until the product was available forgeneral release to customers in June 2003, at which time we began to amortize capitalized software costs based on the greater of (i) the estimated economic life on the straight–line method, or (ii) the ratio that current revenues attributable toMONIESâ10.0 revenues bears to total current and estimated future revenues for MONIESâ10.0.  Software development costs amortized tocost of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2004 amounted to $32,000.  There were no such costs amortized to cost of sales in the 2003 period.

R&D costs may fluctuate considerably from time to time depending on a variety of factors. These costs are incurred substantially in advance of related revenues, and in certain situations, may not result in generatingrevenues.  We believe that considerable investments in R&D will be required to remain competitive in both our businesses.

Amounts attributable to our Telemanagement Solutions business primarily consist of amortization of intangible assets of $2.8 million resulting from the Stonehouse acquisition.  We do not expect any significant change inDepreciation and Amortization during the remainder of 2004.

***           *****Other**

#### ***                       ***Stock-BasedCompensation

Stock-Based Compensation of $3,000 and $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, represents the amortization of deferred stock compensation for our Telemanagement Solutions business (see Note 4to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Unamortized deferred stock compensation of $82,000 will be amortized through May 2007.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normalcourse of business.  During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we experienced net losses of $6 million and $8 million, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2004, our net loss amounted to $2.1 million.  In addition, we havenegative working capital of $10.7 million as of March 31, 2004, which reflects borrowings of $8.7 million from Mr. Levy.  These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

A recent significant development is our placement of a new executive management team, which we believe will be the foundation for generating positive future operating results.  Effective April 21, 2004, Todd Gresham wasappointed Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our board of directors; Steve Aleshire was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Lisa Hart was appointed Executive Vice President, Marketing and Alliances.  See Note 8 toConsolidated Financial Statements.  The new management team has substantial experience in the data storage industry and they have begun to implement marketing, sales and engineering strategies, which we believe will generate increased revenues and improved grossmargins, while targeting our product development activities to the SMB/SME markets.

During the last two years, we have made substantial efforts to: (i) streamline our operations; (ii) establish the foundation for generating positive cash flows and operating profits; and (iii) obtain sufficient financing tocover our working capital needs.  These efforts include cost reductions achieved from outsourcing the manufacturing of our Storage Solutions since mid 2002 and from the relocation of our executive and Storage Solutions business headquarters to a more economicalfacility in Carlsbad, California in December 2002.  The outsourcing contract produced a significant improvement in gross margins by lowering manufacturing costs.  In addition, the outsourcing allowed us to reduce our overall operating costs, principally asa result of the phase out of our manufacturing facility during the 2002 third quarter.  Direct sales personnel and other costs were reduced as part of our strategy to provide greater emphasis on indirect customer channels. We have recently been successful inconcluding several major OEM sales agreements.

In November 2003, we entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with a financial institution under which we may sell up to $2.5 million of our accounts receivables related to our Storage Solutions business. This Agreement replaced a similar arrangement with another financial institution for a $750,000 line of credit.

Since January 1, 2002 and through April 30, 2004, we obtained $11.1 million of equity and debt financing from private investors, including $8.1 million from Mr. Levy.  In addition, in connection with our outsourcingcontract, Mr. Levy has provided collateral for a bank to issue a $1 million LC, subsequently reduced to $500,000, for the benefit of the contractor. 

At March 31, 2004, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $234, 000.  We have insufficient liquidity to fund our operating needs for the next twelve months and are currently exploring alternatives for raisingadditional capital to finance our short-term and long-term plans.  This includes operating deficits expected to be incurred until we begin to generate positive operating cash flows.  However, there can be no assurance that such required additional fundswill be available on terms acceptable to management, if at all, or that we will be able to generate positive cash flows from operations in the future. 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may resultfrom the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

#### **Cash Flow Results**

Our operating activities have historically produced net cash deficits.  During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the primary source of cash to fund $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of net cashused in our operations was provided by $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in net borrowings from private investors, including $1.6 million and $612,000, respectively, from Mr. Levy.

Our estimated purchase obligations are based on outstanding purchase orders at March 31, 2004, and principally represent agreements to purchase goods that are enforceable, legally binding and for which the following terms areknown: (i) the purchase price; (ii) the timing of the purchase, and (iii) the quantity of goods to be acquired.

#### **Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes significant accounting policies and applications used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

25

----

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  We internally review these estimates and the underlying assumptions to assure they are appropriate for currentcircumstances.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  Operating results presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of results that may be reported for any other period.

Management believes the following to be critical accounting policies, the application of which could have a material impact on our financial statements.

#### **            Revenue Recognition**

Storage Solutions revenues are recognized as of the date shipments are made to customers, net of an allowance for returns.  Telemanagement Solutions revenues from computer software sales are recognized when persuasiveevidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance of the software has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Consulting revenues are recognized when services are performed.  Revenues onlong-term development contracts are deferred at time of sale, and using the percentage-of-completion method, are recognized based upon hours incurred as a percentage of estimated total hours.  Maintenance revenues for customer support and product updates aredeferred at the time of sale and are included in income on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement, generally for one year.

#### **             Inventory Valuation**

The business environment in which our Storage Solutions business operates is subject to rapid changes in technology and customer demand.  We record reserves or direct write-downs for components and products, which aredetermined to be obsolete, or are in excess of net realizable value.  We perform a detailed assessment of inventory each quarter, including a review of inventory on hand, sales forecasts, planned disposition of products, and existing development plans. Based on this analysis, we record an adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory, if necessary.  We may be required to record additional write-downs if actual customer demand, component costs or product life cycles differ from our estimates, which could have amaterial impact on our financial position or results from operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we recorded $68,000 in increases to our inventory reserve for obsolete inventory and components associated with products that were phased out. 

#### **            Allowance for Doubtful Accounts**

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  The estimate is based on management’s assessment of the collectibility ofspecific customer accounts and includes consideration of the credit worthiness, the aging of such receivables and financial condition of those specific customers.  We record an allowance to reduce the specific receivables to the amount that is reasonablybelieved to be collectible.  We also record a general allowance for other non-specific receivables based on a variety of factors.  If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make required payments, wemay be required to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts, which could have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations.

#### **            Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets**

Our allocation of the Stonehouse purchase price included $6.5 million in goodwill and $2.8 million in other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.  These values were based on a valuationanalysis completed by an independent valuation firm.  The intangible assets identified were as follows: (i) customer relationships (approximately $2 million); (ii) software ($531,000) and (iii) non-compete agreement ($224,000), and are

----

being amortized over ten, five and four years, respectively.  In addition, we have unamortized goodwill of approximately $2 million that arose from an acquisition in 2000.  Goodwill is tested for possible impairmentat least on an annual basis in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Based on impairment analysis prepared by an independent valuation firm in early 2004, our goodwill is not considered to be impaired as of January 1,2004.

**            Research and Development Costs**

R&D costs associated with our Storage Solutions business are expensed as incurred.  R&D costs associated with our Telemanagement Solutions business for software production are expensed as incurred untiltechnological feasibility is established. Thereafter, software production costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.  Amortization commences only when the product is available for general release and is recorded asamortization to cost of sales rather than R&D costs. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the greater of (i) the estimated economic life on the straight-line method, or (ii) the ratio that current revenues for the product bears to the total current andanticipated future revenues for the product.  There were no R&D costs capitalized during 2004.  Capitalized software development costs amounted to $203,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.  Amortization of capitalized software developmentcosts amounted to $32,000 in 2004.  There was no amortization of capitalized software costs in 2003.

**Effect of Inflation**

During recent years, inflation has not had an impact on our operations and we do not expect that it will have a material impact in during the remainder of 2004.

**Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

We maintain a floating interest rate revolving credit facility ($440,000 outstanding balance at March 31, 2004).  Therefore, we are subject to a market risk arising from increases to the prime rate.

**Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

Our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that as of March 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be includedin our reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act. 

(b)  There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlsover financial reporting.
