3 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Digital Fusion, Inc. ("DFI," or the "Company") have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Form 10-QSB. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information contained herein not misleading. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and reclasses) necessary for a fair presentation of the information shown herein have been included. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company believes that, because of the actions it has taken during the prior years to restructure and streamline the Company, the restructuring of its outstanding debt to its primary lender to defer payments until 2005, and the completion of its equity sale, it currently has enough cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year. The Company's current growth has been funded through internally generated funds and through the convertible note issued by its primary lender in July 2002 and restructured in April 2003 and 2004, and the completion of its equity sale. In order for the Company to support substantial growth, it may need to obtain other externally generated funds. There can be no assurance as to the availability of such funding, and if available, whether the terms would be acceptable to the Company. 2. Loss Per Share Data Common stock equivalents in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, were anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during these periods, thus the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in these periods are the same as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding. 3. Income Taxes The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. 4 4. Debt restructuring On January 15, 2004, the note to PowerCerv was paid by Digital Fusion's President and CEO, Roy E. Crippen, III, tendering to PowerCerv $110,000 in cash and 25,000 shares of PowerCerv preferred stock. In consideration therefore, Digital Fusion issued a note to Mr. Crippen for approximately $137,000 (representing the amount of principal and interest on the PowerCerv note at the time of its retirement). The note bears an interest rate of prime plus 6% and is payable at $600 per month plus interest for the first twelve months, $4,400 per month plus interest for the next eleven months, and a balloon payment of approximately $81,000 plus interest on January 15, 2006. Subject to a subordination agreement with Digital Fusion's primary lender, the note is secured by a security interest in property currently owned or later acquired by the Debtor (Digital Fusion) to secure the prompt payment and performance of all liabilities, obligations, and indebtedness of the Debtor under the note. On April 7, 2004, the Company restructured its outstanding note with its primary lender to suspend monthly payments until February 2005. The note bears an interest rate of 10% with monthly payments due on the first day of each month of $50,000 plus interest commencing on February 1, 2005 until the maturity date of January 1, 2006. In addition, the Company will pay an amendment fee of $25,000 to the note-holder that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. In relation to the first note, the note-holder will have the right to convert the principal portion of the note and/or interest due and payable into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the fixed conversion price of $0.922. In relation to the second note, the note-holder will have the right to convert the principal and/or interest due and payable into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at the fixed conversion price of $0.35. 5. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation and, in the table below has disclosed pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts using the fair value based method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". The Company has implemented the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, 310,500 stock options were granted to employees. Results may vary depending on the assumptions applied within the model. Compensation expense recognized in providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on net income for future years. 5 2004 2003 Net (loss), as reported $ (90,000) $ (366,000) Total stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income applicable to common stockholder, net of tax - - Total stock-based employee compensation determined under fair value based method, net of related tax effects (23,000) (79,000) ------------ ------------- Pro forma net (loss) (113,000) (445,000) =========== ============= Earnings per share Basic - as reported (0.01) (0.05) =========== ============= Basic - pro forma (0.02) (0.06) =========== ============= Diluted - as reported (0.01) (0.05) =========== ============= Diluted - pro forma (0.02) (0.06) =========== ============= The preceding pro forma results were calculated with the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

6. Subsequent Events On April 22, 2004 and on May 11, 2004, the Company's primary lender exercised its right to convert principal and/or interest into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Digital Fusion, Inc. at the fixed conversion price of $0.35. With each of the transactions, the primary lender converted $35,000 of the note, of which no interest is owed, to 100,000 shares of common stock. The conversion was deemed to constitute a conversion of outstanding principal amount to be applied against subsequent amounts to be paid. In addition, the lender will issue a "rebate credit" for every dollar in principal amount converted equal to the amount of time in years and fractions thereof from the closing date, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, to the conversion date times four percent (4%) to be applied as a reduction in the monthly amount due. 6 On April 30, 2004, the Company announced the appointment of Gary S. Ryan as President of Digital Fusion effective May 5, 2004. Additionally Mr. Ryan was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors on April 27, 2004. He will be responsible for the Company's operations, in particular the federal services market, and will report to chief executive officer, Roy L. Crippen, III. On May 11, 2004, Digital Fusion and Madison Run, LLC completed an equity sale whereby Madison Run bought 608,108 shares of Digital Fusion common stock at $0.74 per share, was issued a five year warrant to purchase 304,054 shares of Digital Fusion common stock at $0.89 per share, and was issued a five year warrant to purchase 212,839 shares of Digital Fusion common stock at $0.94 per share. Digital Fusion President, Mr. Gary Ryan, is a member of the Madison Run investment group and personally invested $100,000 in the offering. Item 2.

Overview Digital Fusion, Inc. is an information technology ("IT") consulting firm that helps its customers maximize the use of modern technology to access business information, enhance the performance of their human resources, and meet various business needs. The Company's success is based on a total approach that provides the people, processes, and technology needed to translate business needs into sound IT strategies. Services are provided to business organizations and public sector institutions primarily in the Eastern United States. The Company is incorporated in Delaware with its main administrative office located in Huntsville, Alabama and regional offices in Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia. 7 Revenues are derived primarily from fees earned in connection with the performance of services provided to customers. The Company typically invoices on a time and materials basis. The majority of costs are associated with personnel. Attracting and retaining billable employees is vital for the Company to move forward. Quarterly operating results are affected by the number of billable days in the quarter, holiday seasons, and vacations. Demand for the Company's services has historically been lower during the fourth quarter because of holidays and vacations. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company began reselling the Intuit product Track-It!. All 2003 and 2004 Track-It! Product sales were to governmental entities where margins are lower. Results of Operations THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 REVENUES. Consulting revenues decreased by $331,000 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period for the first quarter of 2003. Approximately 50% of the decrease in revenues was due to the reduction in sales to the Company's largest consulting customer with the remaining decrease due to business divisions and offices that were shut down before and during the 2003 headquarters move from Tampa, Florida to Huntsville, Alabama. Revenue from Digital Fusion's largest professional services customer was responsible for 20% of its revenue in 2004 as compared to 28% in 2003. The Company expects its revenues to increase during the remainder of 2004 as compared to 2003 due to the expansion of its federal services market. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company began reselling the Intuit product Track-It! to governmental organizations. Sales for the first quarter 2004 were $205,000. COST OF SERVICES AND GOODS SOLD. Cost of services consists primarily of salaries and expenses of programming and technical personnel, expenses related to applications sold to customers, and fees paid to outside consultants engaged for customer projects. Cost of services decreased by $391,000 to $943,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease is due to a reduction in head count in conjunction with the revenue decrease from 2003 to 2004. The Company expects its cost of services in 2004 to increase proportionally to its increase in revenues. The cost of goods sold of $189,000 is related to the reselling of the Intuit product Track-It! that began in the second quarter of 2003. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for services during the first quarter of 2004 is $338,000 or 26% of revenues as compared to $278,000, or 17% of revenues for the first quarter of 2003. This increase in gross profit as a percent of revenues is due to a higher utilization rate of the billable consultants for 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The gross profit for product was $16,000 or 8% for the first quarter of 2004. The low profit margin on product sales is attributable to the low mark-up required on sales to governmental entities. 8 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses associated with marketing, accounting, finance, sales, and administrative personnel, as well as professional fees and other corporate costs associated with the administration of the company. SG&A expenses decreased by $182,000, or 31%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period during 2003. The decrease in SG&A is due to the corporate headquarters move from Tampa, Florida to Huntsville, Alabama, which resulted in the decrease of corporate personnel and related salaries and benefits and a decrease in depreciation expense because of certain assets becoming fully depreciated. SG&A costs are expected to increase during 2004 with the expansion of the Company's federal services market, the addition of new company president and the additional accountability required and federal rules and regulations. INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME), NET. Interest expense decreased from $52,000 in the first quarter of 2003 to $34,000 for the first quarter of 2004. The decrease was due primarily to the reduction in debt to the Company's primary lender. INCOME TAX BENEFIT. The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. NET INCOME (LOSS). The Company incurred a net loss of $90,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $366,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. Although revenues decreased from the first quarter of 2003 to 2004, the actions taken by the Company to restructure and reduce costs resulted in the reduction of its net loss for the first quarter 2004. Liquidity and Capital Resources The net cash used in operating activities was $259,000 during the first quarter of 2004 compared to $316,000 during the first quarter of 2003 due to the Company's expenses exceeding its revenues. Net cash used in investing activities was $3,000 during 2004, which was used to invest in computer equipment for the Company's operations. The Company does not expect to have significant equipment purchases during the remainder of 2004. Net cash used in financing activities was $1,000. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company restructured its short-term debt to refinance its note to PowerCerv with Mr. Roy E. Crippen, III, Digital Fusion's President and CEO, and to temporarily suspend principal payments to its primary lender until February 2005. Working capital at March 31, 2004 is negative $271,000. The net accounts receivable balance outstanding at March 31, 2004 is $930,000. Currently the Company is funding its cash needs through consistent collections of accounts receivable and current operations and through the convertible note issued by its primary lender in July 2002 and restructured in April 2003 and 2004 and with the completion of its equity sale to Madison Run, LLC. 9 Management is currently building relationships where DFI would be the service provider in the relationship. During October 2002, DFI was awarded its five-year information technology schedule by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which makes DFI's services readily available to federal agencies. In addition, the federal services market is expected to increase with the employment of Gary Ryan as the Company's president on May 5, 2004. The Company believes that, because of these actions and the actions it has taken to reorganize and streamline the Company, the restructuring of its outstanding debt to its primary lender to defer payments until 2005, the completion of its equity sale, and attaining positive working capital, it currently has enough cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year. In order for the Company to support substantial growth, it may need to obtain other externally generated funds. There can be no assurance as to the availability of such funding, and if available, whether the terms would be acceptable to the Company. Critical Accounting Policies 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 have a significant impact on the results reported in the financial statements. Some of the accounting policies require management to make difficult and subjective judgments, often because of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Digital Fusion's most critical accounting policies include accounts receivable reserves and the valuation of goodwill. Actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These policies are discussed further, as well as the estimates and judgments involved: Accounts Receivable Reserve. The Company's accounts receivable is reduced by $90,000 for an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on a specific analysis of accounts in the receivable portfolio and a general reserve based on the aging of receivables and historical write-off experience. The Company's management believes the allowance to be reasonable. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable. Valuation of Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. This annual impairment test is performed in the last quarter of each fiscal year. The goodwill impairment test requires a comparison of the fair value of the Company to the amount of goodwill recorded. If this comparison reflects impairment, then the loss would be measured as the excess of recorded goodwill over its implied fair value. Although the Company's management believes that the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable, actual results could differ. Item 3. Controls and procedures. a. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with SEC rules and forms. Our management, with the supervision of the Chief Executive officer, Roy E. Crippen, III, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Crippen has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in causing material information to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported so as to ensure the quality and timeliness of our public disclosures in compliance with SEC rules and forms. 10 b. Changes in internal controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
