ITEM 1: BUSINESS.

THE COMPANY

     We are an independent  provider of  client/server  network software for the
delivery of video and audio information over networks.  Our office is located in
San Francisco,  California. Our software manages the delivery of video and audio
content over a variety of networks; optimizing network efficiency and quality of
service.  Our  Burstware(R)  suite of software  products  enables  companies  to
transmit  video  and  audio  files  at  Faster-Than-Real-Time(R)speed,  which is
accomplished  by utilizing  available  bandwidth  capacity to send more video or
audio data to users than the players are  consuming  in real time.  This data is
stored on the users' machine for playing on demand, thus isolating the user from
noise and other network  interference.  The result is high quality,  full-motion
video  and  CD-quality  audio to the  end-user.  Burstware(R)  utilizes  several
components   of   our   international    patent    portfolio,    including   the
Faster-Than-Real-Time(R) delivery method.

     We began as a research and  development  partnership in 1988,  with initial
activities  focused  upon  technical  investigations,   patent  development  and
research  pertaining to the viability of  transmitting  and receiving  video and
audio programming in faster-than-real-time over a variety of networks.

     In 1990,  we  incorporated,  changed  our name to Explore  Technology,  and
secured  $2.0  million in funding in order to  develop  prototype  hardware  and
software for demonstrating  faster-than-real-time  transmission and reception of
audio and video programming; we described this type of communication as "burst".
We hired an  engineering  firm in Palo Alto,  California  to construct a pair of
"burst" video/audio transceivers. At the time this work was undertaken, networks
capable of providing "burst speeds" at practical prices were not available.

     During the second  quarter of 1992,  we were  acquired by Catalina  Capital
Corporation, a small public company organized as a Delaware corporation on April
27, 1990. As a result of this transaction,  our original  shareholders  received
85% of the outstanding shares of Catalina Capital Corporation, which was renamed
Instant Video Technologies, Inc. in 1993.


                                       3


     In the first half of 1995, we began  development of a software product that
would incorporate our patented intellectual  property for  faster-than-real-time
burst transmission of multimedia  content over computer networks.  At that time,
we  contracted  with a  consulting  firm to develop  this  software  product.  A
prototype was created to run on a variety of networks.  In 1996, we entered into
agreements  with three  customers for use of the software in their  products and
services.  We continued our product development through 1997 by contracting with
a third-party consulting firm.

     In September 1997, our co-founder,  Richard Lang, returned as Chairman, CEO
and  President.  As a result,  in the last quarter of 1997 we  restructured  our
management team, obtained funding to continue operations,  refocused our product
development, and brought technology development in-house.

     At the  end of the  third  quarter  of  1997,  we  suspended  sales  of our
prototype  software  to  customers  in  order  to  concentrate  our  efforts  on
developing  a new suite of  Burstware(R)  software  products  to position us for
future growth.  Resources were directed at product development to facilitate our
new strategy and resulted in no software license sales in 1998.

     In 1998,  we focused  on  developing  a  commercially  marketable  suite of
software products; raising the capital necessary to meet operating requirements,
and building our management team. We released a test version of the Burstware(R)
suite of software  products on  schedule  in March 1998 and began  testing  with
selected  companies  in April  1998.  New  versions  of the test  software  were
released in June and November 1998.

     We released our first product,  Burstware(R)  Version 1.1, to the public in
February 1999, and in November 1999 we released  Burstware(R) Version 1.2, which
contained the  Burst-Enabled(TM)  Windows  Media  Player.  In 1999, we recruited
sales,  marketing  and  development  staff and signed six  reseller  agreements.
Customer  evaluations  were undertaken  during the second half of 1999.  Initial
sales commenced in February 2000.

     In January  2000,  we changed our name from  "Instant  Video  Technologies,
Inc." to "Burst.com,  Inc." Our stock trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under
the symbol "BRST".

     In  November  2000,  due to  insufficient  funds and sales to  support  our
organization,  we  laid  off 77  employees  out of a total  of 95 and  cut  back
drastically in our sales,  marketing and engineering spending. In March 2001, we
laid off all but five of the remaining employees,  and accepted the resignations
of Douglas Glen, John Lukrich,  and Edward Davis.  The Chief  Executive  Officer
position was assumed by our Chairman, Richard Lang, and our Controller,  Jeffrey
Wilson,  took  over as  Chief  Financial  Officer.  Unless  specifically  noted,
references to our executive  officers  throughout this annual statement refer to
the  officers  in place  at  December  31,  2000.  See  "Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources"  and "Risks and  Uncertainties"  under  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7.


INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

     In recent years,  several related technologies have converged to enable the
distribution of video and audio content over electronic communications networks.
As  network   bandwidth,   data  storage,   processing  power,  and  compression
technologies  have become  increasingly  available,  the demand for high quality
video  and  audio  over the  Internet,  as well as over  intranet  and  extranet
networks,  has  expanded  rapidly.  According  to Piper  Jaffray,  the number of
households with broadband  access is estimated to be 6.6 million,  increasing to
21.7 million by 2002. The result of such developments has been the transition of
the Internet from a static,  text-oriented network to an interactive environment
filled with graphical and audio-visual content.

     Distributing audio-visual content over the Internet, or within an intranet,
offers  certain  advantages and  capabilities  not generally  available  through
traditional media, including consumer targeting and interactive  responsiveness.
As businesses have begun to recognize the cost,  inconvenience  and inefficiency
of  business  communication  tools such as audio and  videoconferencing,  online
communications   between    business-to-business,    business-to-consumer    and
business-to-employee  have become  commonplace.  Piper  Jaffray  estimates  that
streaming hours will grow at a compound rate of 124% in the next five years.

In order to capitalize on this explosion in Web-based  content and the large and
growing   number   of   Web-based    communication    channels   in   both   the
business-to-business  and  business-to-consumer  markets,  a number of companies
have developed  first  generation  software  solutions  intended to deliver such
content to the end user.  These first  generation  solutions  have commonly been
referred to as real-time streaming solutions that allow for the transmission and
remote playback of continuous  "streams" of media content,  including live video
and audio  broadcasts.  These  technologies  were  designed to deliver audio and
video  content  over  widely used 28.8 kbps


                                       4


narrow  bandwidth  modems and,  to a limited  extent,  are capable of  utilizing
higher speed access provided by digital subscriber lines, cable modems and other
broadband emerging technologies.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

     Although current streaming technology represents a significant  advancement
over  earlier  technologies,  it  remains  unable to  provide  the  client  with
reliable,   uninterrupted,   full-motion,   studio-quality  video,  particularly
video-on-demand,  or VOD,  and  CD-quality  audio.  That  is,  first  generation
solutions  rely upon a network  design in which  various  client  computers  are
connected to centralized server computers.  Typically, one server is intended to
service a multitude of clients.  During a typical session, a server must deliver
data in frequent and regular  intervals,  or just in time, for the length of any
real-time play of content. For example, a 30-minute video requires that constant
communication  between  servers  and  clients  be  maintained  for 30 minutes of
real-time viewing.  Moreover, in all cases involving real-time streaming, as the
number of end users expands, the number of server connections must also increase
at a ratio of 1 to 1.  Real-time  streaming  through such a network cannot scale
efficiently and, given the infrastructure requirements, remains costly.

     As real-time  streaming  expands  rapidly  online with  growing  demand for
audio-visual content,  client-centric delivery becomes increasingly  susceptible
to congestion and disruption within the established client-server universe. As a
result, a client's multimedia  experience  typically is interrupted or degraded.
Additionally,  the  number  of  real-time  connections  that  can be  maintained
simultaneously by the server is limited by processing power as well as bandwidth
availability.  This,  along  with  the  fact  that  a  server  tends  to  devote
disproportionate resources to the client with the most available bandwidth, also
reduces the quality as well as the  availability  of the video and audio content
to most users on the network.

     As a  result  of these  limitations,  plus the  fact  that  most  streaming
technology   involves   proprietary   encoding   schemes  and  limited  platform
acceptance,  widespread  dissemination of high-quality streaming content has yet
to occur within either the business-to-business or business-to-consumer  market.
Escalating  demand  within  these  markets  as  well  as the  need  for  quality
enhancement  of content  delivery  have  created a need for a software  solution
capable of  eliminating  network  disruptions  and  utilizing  client  bandwidth
efficiently.

THE BURST SOLUTION

     With our  patented  Burstware(R)  technology,  we  provide  a  server-based
intelligent  network  management  system  delivering  "Faster-Than-Real-Time(R)"
content  across a variety of networks.  Our software is designed to work equally
well  with  content  created  using any data  compression/decompression  (CODEC)
methodology.   The  Java-script  Burstware(R)  solution  ensures  a  consistent,
high-quality  experience over multiple platforms through optimization of network
resources and superior isolation of clients from network disturbances.

     In a Burst-Enabled(TM)  network, the server delivers "bursts" of content of
various  sizes and  frequencies,  as required,  into a  client-side  buffer at a
Faster-Than-Real-Time(R)  rate of  consumption.  On the client  side,  the local
buffer of stored, or cached, data acts as a reserve providing continuous play in
the event that data flow  across  the  network is  disrupted.  Once the  network
recovers, the local buffer is rapidly "topped off" at a Faster-Than-Real-Time(R)
rate.  Upon delivery  completion,  the server  disengages from the client and is
free  to  address  other  clients  awaiting  content   delivery,   with  service
prioritized based on the client's buffer level,  rate of consumption,  available
bandwidth and other variables.

     Under typical network conditions, demand for media content rises and falls.
Real-time streaming's  architecture must allocate network bandwidth for the peak
demand,  wasting  bandwidth during lower demand  occurrences.  Bursting tends to
average out the peaks and troughs using an intelligent buffer management system.
Buffers   are   replenished   in   anticipation   of   client   needs  at  rates
Faster-Than-Real-Time(R). This intelligent network management reduces demand for
bandwidth at peak times.

     With the same amount of allocated  bandwidth,  Burstware(R)  supports  more
users with less  infrastructure.  In a November 2000 study by Approach,  Inc., a
research firm  specializing in the digital media market,  Burstware(R) was shown
to be up to 25% more bandwidth efficient than Microsoft's Windows Media System.

     With a need-based delivery model and the ability to service the same number
of clients using fewer network  resources,  Burstware(R)  technology also offers
quantifiable  savings over a wide variety of end user environments.  Simulations
have shown that


                                       5


Burstware's(R)  intelligent  network  management system can provide  significant
improvement in network  efficiency,  or  throughput,  when compared to real-time
streaming.  The Approach report also concluded that the return on investment for
a content  provider  using  Burstware(R)  was 16% to 43% more favorable than the
return on investment for a similar configuration using Windows Media System.

     During  all  phases  of  content  delivery,   Burstware's(R)  network-based
architecture  allows for continuous  monitoring of consumption  rates,  multiple
end-user needs, and changes in network conditions.  Using connection  acceptance
criteria,   Burstware(R)  can  determine  which  network  legs  or  servers  are
overburdened  and  then  shift  the  load  accordingly.   In  addition,  through
synchronizing  content  delivery  across  backup  servers  and  conductors,  the
Burstware(R) system creates a reliable failover for uninterrupted service in the
event of  component or network  failure,  thereby  eliminating  the need for the
client to request that the server resend the entire file.

     Developed with the flexibility of open standards,  the Burstware(R) network
management  elements are focused  exclusively on content delivery without regard
to proprietary CODEC or rendering  technologies,  leaving application developers
free to use  whichever  CODEC is  required  of their  application.  Burstware(R)
architecture  currently  supports numerous  encoding  schemes,  including MPEG1,
MPEG2,  MP3,  ASF, AVI and  QuickTime,  with the ability to adapt quickly to new
technologies as they are brought to market.  Moreover, the Burstware(R) solution
is platform and player neutral.  Burstware(R)  operates on Microsoft Windows NT,
Solaris and Linux platforms as well as a Burst-Enabled(TM)  Windows Media Player
and a Java-based player, or JMF.

     The intelligent  Burstware(R)  network resource  management features enable
multiple end user  applications  as well. With the capacity to deliver data in a
clear,  efficient and cost-effective manner, the Burstware(R) solution creates a
high-quality  audio-visual  experience  for the  end-user  and enables  powerful
business-to-business,      business-to-customer     and     business-to-employee
communication. Burstware(R) also gives producers, aggregators and developers the
ability to reach new markets with virtually  unlimited  access to vast libraries
of content.  With these various  applications,  Burstware's(R)  network delivery
mechanism  is  ideally   suited  for   numerous   industries   including   news,
entertainment,  retail  and  advertising  as well as local,  state  and  federal
governments and agencies.

Extend our Patent Portfolio

     We regard  our  patent  portfolio  as  critical  to our  ability to realize
maximum value for our technology.  Since the company was first incorporated,  we
have had 33 U.S. and international patents issued, and we currently have another
nine pending. Several additional patents are in development.

     Burst  patents   address  our   Faster-Than-Real-Time(R)   media   delivery
mechanism,  our  approach  to network  resource  optimization,  and  elements of
client-side  functionality.  Burst.com patents have issues in the United States,
Australia, Europe, Korea, India, Japan and Canada.

License our Technology To Industry Leaders

     For the past several  years,  Burst has pursued a strategy of selling media
delivery software and hosting services. This strategy has not produced the level
of revenues necessary to sustain an effort by Burst to compete head-to-head with
powerful leaders such as Microsoft and RealNetworks.  Our revised strategy is to
license our technology software and patents to one or more of leading end-to-end
solution  providers.  We believe that  companies who license our  technology and
patents will obtain a  sustainable  competitive  advantage in terms of bandwidth
efficiency,  reliability and user experience.  We believe that Burst.com will be
able to maximize the value of its technology and  intellectual  property  assets
through such licensing arrangements.

     Target licensees include (i) marketers of server/client  software,  such as
Microsoft,  Apple and  RealNetworks;  (ii) Internet service  providers,  such as
America  On-Line  and  Excite@Home;  (iii)  infrastructure  providers,  such  as
telecommunications  and cable companies and (iv) marketers of enabling  hardware
for broadband media-on-demand businesses.

Engineering and Product Development

     We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability
to enhance Burstware(R) and maintain our technological  leadership.  Our product
development  organization  is  responsible  for  product  architecture  and core
technology.  Coding,  testing and quality assurance are outsourced.  As of March
01, 2001, our internal development organization consisted of two people.

     During  the past  three  years,  we have made  substantial  investments  in
product  development  and  related  hosting  activities   ($4,300,328  in  2000,
$4,076,700 in 1999 and $800,600 in 1998).  The current  version of  Burstware(R)
has been  developed  primarily  by our internal  engineering  staff and, in some
instances,  with the  assistance  of external  consultants.  In March  1998,  we
released a Beta version of  Burstware(R),  followed by subsequent  modifications
during the year.  We released our first  commercial  (GA)  Burstware(R)  product
suite in February 1999.  This release is a client-server  software  product that
manages and  optimizes  the  delivery  of high  quality  video and audio  across
broadband networks. The servers become intelligent network managers, efficiently
allocating  bandwidth and scheduling burst delivery of multimedia  content among
multiple users.  Microsoft  Corporation's Windows NT/95/98 operating systems are
supported  on client  machines,  with Windows NT and Sun  Microsystems'  Solaris
operating  systems  supported on servers in  client-server  networks.  In August
1999, we released  support for the Linux platform in our Version 1.1.3.  Also in
August 1999, we acquired  Timeshift-TV,  Inc. in a stock-only  transaction  from
Richard  Lang,  our Chairman  and then CEO,  Earl Mincer and Eric  Walters,  who
subsequently became


                                       7


employees of ours.  Timeshift-TV holds assets,  including intellectual property,
in the area of time-shifted real-time  broadcasting,  which we plan to integrate
into our advanced  video and audio delivery  solutions.  We also plan to license
the   Timeshift-TV   intellectual   property   to  other   parties  for  various
applications.  We recorded  $1,333,000  in expense for  in-process  research and
development  costs  purchased in connection with this  acquisition.  In November
1999, we released the capability to Burst-Enable(TM) the Windows Media Player in
Version 1.2. In November 2000, due to insufficient  funding and sales to support
our organization,  we laid off all but two engineers and cut back drastically in
our product development spending.

Architecture

     Burstware(R)  employs a multi-tier,  distributed  architecture to provide a
fully scalable and fault-tolerant  platform for high-quality multimedia delivery
and management.  The  architecture is designed to take advantage of the benefits
and minimize the  shortcomings of using an unreliable,  heterogeneous,  IP-based
network--such  as  the  Internet--for  reliable  multimedia  delivery  to a mass
audience.

Component Overview

     The central  management  component  of the  architecture  is the  Burstware
Conductor(R),  which manages and monitors the Burstware  Servers(R) and provides
the point of contact for burst-enabled client applications,  such as the Windows
Media Player.

     The Burstware  Server(R)  provides reliable media delivery to clients,  and
uses flow  optimization  algorithms to maximize  overall  bandwidth  throughput,
while  ensuring  that  each  client  is  allocated   sufficient   bandwidth  for
uninterrupted playback of video.

     Burst-enabled   client  applications   provide  an  intelligently   managed
client-side  cache,  and co-operate with the conductor and server to provide the
playback  of video and audio  exactly as the file was  encoded,  with no jitter,
dropped frames, or signal degradation.

Media Delivery Procedure

     When a  Burst-Enabled(TM)  client  requests  a media  file,  it  contacts a
conductor  with a request for service.  The conductor  intelligently  routes the
client to the server that offers the best point of service for the request.  The
client then establishes a two-way reliable TCP/IP connection to the server,  and
delivery and playback of the media file begins.

     The client continuously  provides feedback to the server about how fast the
media  file is  being  consumed,  the  state of the  client  buffer,  and  other
information.  This  data  from  all  clients  is  fed  into  the  server's  flow
optimization  algorithm  described above, and the server uses the flow algorithm
to  schedule  delivery  of data to  clients  at the rate that  maximizes  use of
network resources and minimizes the likelihood of buffer starvation.  Flow rates
are continuously adjusted as network conditions and server loads change.

Advantages

     Burstware's(R) multi-tiered architecture offers two key advantages over the
traditional two-tier streaming  architecture:  enterprise-class  scalability and
mission-critical fault tolerance.


                                       9


Scalability

     The Burstware(R) system is highly scalable, and can grow from one server to
hundreds of servers in a manner that is completely transparent to clients. Since
only the conductors are aware of the location and number of servers, new servers
can be added and  existing  ones moved or removed  without any updates to client
applications.  One  conductor  can support and manage  hundreds of servers.  The
conductor  continually monitors server loads and routes incoming client requests
to the least loaded eligible server,  providing  intelligent load balancing that
goes far beyond such simple schemes as round robin routing.

     Because  client  interaction  with the  conductor is limited to the initial
request for service,  a single conductor domain can easily scale to support tens
of thousands of concurrent client connections.  Additionally  scalability can be
achieved by employing multiple  conductor domains,  which can be integrated with
third-party IP routing solutions.

Fault Tolerance

     Burstware(R) achieves complete  fault-tolerance,  including no single point
of failure,  by fully replicating all components in the system. The conductor is
replicated in kind, and  burst-enabled  clients can contact either conductor for
service.  Additionally,  each  server is  automatically  configured  to  provide
failover  protection  for all other servers  containing  the same media content.
Servers and conductors can be added and subtracted at runtime  without  shutting
down other system components.

     If a server  fails or becomes  unavailable  for any reason,  including  the
failure of a network  link from the client to the server,  all clients that have
lost  contact  with the  server  are  automatically  routed  to  other  servers.
Burstware(R)  establishes  a new  connection  to an  available  server  for each
client, and the new server picks up multimedia delivery exactly where the failed
server left off. Since the  client-side  buffer provides the ability for clients
to disconnect  and  re-connect  without  impacting the viewing  experience,  the
viewer is unaware that any failure has occurred.

Technology

     The design  mission for  Burstware(R)  technology is to provide the premier
platform for the  management  and delivery of digital  video and audio  content.
Burst.com  has  recognized  the  needs of the  marketplace  for a  product  that
provides  quality,  reliability  and  manageability  far  beyond  what  existing
streaming solutions can deliver.

     Burstware's(R) design takes advantage of emerging trends in technology such
as   available   client-side   storage  and  network   bandwidth  to  provide  a
forward-thinking,  flexible and highly effective approach to multimedia delivery
and  management.  Our  engineering  team has  extensive  experience  in  network
protocols,  distributed  multi-tiered  architectures,  digital video,  real-time
control  systems,  and  optimization   algorithms.   As  a  result,  we  believe
Burstware(R)  is well equipped to address the  escalating  demand for multimedia
applications.

Architected for Industry Trends

     By taking the caching model all the way to the client,  Burstware(R) is the
first  adopter  in a new  paradigm  for  multimedia  delivery,  and is  uniquely
positioned  to take  advantage  of the  trends  toward  broadband  networks  and
inexpensive  client storage.  Designed to optimize  expensive  resources such as
bandwidth and server-side  hardware by utilizing  freely  available  client-side
storage  resources,  Burstware(R)  provides an advanced  network  management and
optimization platform for audio and video content delivery.

     Central to the Burstware(R) technology are the scheduling algorithms in the
Burstware  Server(R),  which  schedule  bursts of data of varying  size and time
intervals  to  each  client.  The  Burstware(R)  Scheduler  employs  proprietary
algorithms to guarantee each client quality of service while  optimizing the use
of bandwidth and other network resources.

     The Burstware  Server(R)  Scheduling  Engine  consists of a Call  Admission
Control System, or CAC, a Flow Optimizer and a Flow Engine. The CAC ensures that
a new  client  is  accepted  onto the  network  only if its  admission  will not
compromise  quality of service to existing  clients or to the new client.  It is
worth noting that a configurable  "burst margin" of bandwidth is held in reserve
by the CAC for use by the Flow  Optimizer as described  below.  Clients that are
rejected by one Burstware Server(R) are transparently routed to another,  making
the end user  unaware  that one of the  Burstware  Servers(R)  has  reached  its
maximum utilization.

     The Flow Optimizer  calculates  the amount of data to deliver,  or the flow
rate, to each client in order to maximize Burstware  Server(R)  throughput while
ensuring  that each  client  receives  sufficient  data flow for  uninterrupted,
continuous playback. The burst


                                       10


margin that is held in reserve by the CAC algorithm is available for  allocation
by the Flow Optimizer, which forces delivery of content in faster-than-real-time
even under heavy network load  scenarios.  Overall,  this process  exerts upward
pressure  on  client-side   buffer  levels,   ensuring  a  jitter-free   viewing
experience.

     The Flow Engine is a low level  sub-system  responsible  for  achieving the
session flow rates imposed by the Flow  Optimizer.  It advances  through disk or
cache  resident  content files and paces the  transmission  of the video data as
bursts over the outgoing  transmission  control protocol connections linking the
server to each player.  Incoming status  notifications  from each player provide
any needed feedback on actual flow rates and downstream buffer conditions.

     These  optimization  algorithms  enable a  single  Burstware  Server(R)  to
simultaneously  deliver  files  ranging the full  spectrum of encoded bit rates,
from ASF files  designed  for 28.8 modems to MPEG-2  files  encoded at 8 Mbps or
more, to a wide variety of clients with  radically  different  connectivity  and
other capabilities, while maintaining the highest quality viewing experience for
each client.

Application-Level Quality of Service in Unpredictable Networks

     One of the challenges of IP-based  video  delivery  systems is to provide a
smooth,  uninterrupted  video  experience in the face of the variable  bandwidth
capacities  and network  latencies  of a  packet-switched  network.  Traditional
streaming solutions,  by delivering data just in time for display to the client,
are highly sensitive to moment-to-moment variations in the network capacities at
each link  between the client and server.  Whenever  bandwidth  capacities  fall
below the encoding rate of the video, even briefly, video quality will suffer.

     As described in the above section,  Burstware(R)  is able to provide a high
quality of service by employing a sophisticated client  cache-management  scheme
and   delivering   video   data    faster-than-real-time    consumption.    This
application-level  quality of service is far less expensive  than  network-layer
quality of service, or QoS, schemes, which require that every router between the
client and server be able to guarantee  that bandwidth and latency fall within a
narrow,  specified range.  Application-level QoS has the additional advantage of
working across network segments that are not capable of providing  network-layer
QoS.

     Application-level   QoS  also  enables  the  use  of  higher-quality  video
encodings across channels with variable bandwidth capacity.  Real-time streaming
architecture  requires  that  videos be encoded at a rate less than the  minimum
bandwidth between the client and the server. Burstware(R), on the other hand, is
resilient to the average bandwidth between client and server,  allowing delivery
of higher bit rate encodings.

Network Management Capabilities

     A significant barrier to widespread adoption of streaming  technologies has
been reluctance on the part of network managers to subject their networks to the
unpredictable  and demanding  requirements of traditional  streaming  solutions.
With Burstware(R),  bandwidth use can be controlled at various levels, including
the entire Burstware domain, an individual Burstware Server(R) or locally on the
client side. Bandwidth limits can be adjusted  dynamically at runtime,  allowing
sophisticated traffic shaping over time and space.  Content-specific caching and
routing  controls  also provide  users with the  flexibility  needed for today's
applications.

     Client configuration  parameters include those for network optimization and
control,  content  protection,  and player  behavior.  These  parameters  can be
centralized  in  a  web  page  or  customized  by  individual  clients,   giving
application  developers  a high  degree  of  control  over  their  video-enabled
applications.

Open Architecture

     One of the  keys  to  adoption  of new  technologies  is a high  degree  of
interoperability  with  existing  hardware and software.  Burstware(R)  has been
designed from the ground up to have open  architecture  at every product  level,
allowing easy integration with a wide variety of third-party solutions.

     The ability to  interoperate  with other  applications  is  accomplished at
several different levels. A wide variety of  industry-standard  players, as well
as  other   applications,   can  be  Burst-enabled  using  our  Player  Software
Development   Kit.   Burst-enabled   players   retain  all  of  their   existing
functionality, thus facilitating integration of an existing Windows Media Player
web application,  for example, to the Burstware(R) delivery system.  Integration
with third-party  automated  billing and report generation tools is accomplished
with the


                                       11


Burstware(R)  Log Toolkit,  which  provides  both an XML-based and an ODBC-based
data transfer capability. We also believe that external cache management systems
such as those  offered by Akamai and Inktomi  can  integrate  with  Burstware(R)
through our directory-based media management system.

     Portability  is  another   important   aspect  of  an  open   architecture.
Burstware(R)  is a  software-only  solution  and the  Burstware  Servers(R)  and
Conductors  are written  almost  entirely in Java,  allowing easy porting as new
hardware  and  OS  platforms  become   available.   Additionally,   interprocess
communication  is 100%  IP-based  and runs on nearly all modern  networks,  both
wired and wireless. This highly portable implementation allows Burstware to take
immediate  advantage  of  new  advances  in  hardware  such  as  multiprocessor,
multi-NIC, SMP Servers, advanced storage systems and wireless technologies.

Competition

     We compete in markets that are rapidly evolving and intensely  competitive.
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience increasing  competition
from current and potential competitors, many of which have significantly greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources.

     In addition to Burst,  there are four significant media delivery  companies
that compete in similar  market  segments.  The  Burstware(R)  product is priced
similarly to products offered by our major competitors, but competition is based
primarily on features and functionality. Our competitors use real-time streaming
technology as opposed to our Faster-Than-Real-Time(R) solution. RealNetworks and
Microsoft have concentrated on the consumer  markets,  while Tektronix and Cisco
are primarily focusing on the business-to-business markets. RealNetworks,  Apple
and  Microsoft  are  moving  into the  business-to-business  markets  with large
clients  such as 3Com and  Northrup  Grumman.  Tektronix  and Cisco  address the
problem of network management,  although in a limited fashion.  Currently, there
is limited competition in the broadband arena.  Because of our patent portfolio,
we are able to offer  unique  network  efficiency  management,  scalability  and
reliability  features and functionality,  which combine to provide a competitive
advantage.  While we can deliver  multimedia  content in a real-time  mode,  our
architecture is ideally suited to capitalize on the growth in broadband networks
and inexpensive storage.

     RealNetworks

     RealSystem G2 is a fully integrated  encoder,  server,  splitter/cache  and
player  system.  RealNetworks  is  dominant in the  Internet  market and the low
bandwidth   applications,   which  have  primarily   centered  around  news  and
entertainment  markets.  With their  dominance in the consumer  market and brand
awareness,  they are gaining  ground in the  business  sector with  clients like
3Com,  Boeing  and  General  Electric.  We  believe  that  RealNetworks'  use of
real-time  streaming  technology,   its  lack  of  network  management  and  its
CODEC-dependence    will   give   us   a    competitive    advantage    in   the
business-to-business  market. To effectively deploy RealNetworks for a broadband
application,  the software must be bundled with Digital BitCasting,  and Inktomi
(or similar caching product.

     Windows Media

     Windows  Media  Technologies  7.0  provides  an  end-to-end   solution  for
streaming multimedia, from content authoring to delivery to playback.  Microsoft
is  building  brand  strength  by bundling  Windows  Media with other  Microsoft
Products.  Windows  Media's  presence  in  the  business-to-business  market  is
currently not significant. Windows Media Technologies is targeting the streaming
audio segment by being the only streaming  media  platform to feature  FM-stereo
quality  over  a  modem  and  improved  piracy  protection.  Like  RealNetworks,
Microsoft is focusing on the consumer  market by  attracting  content  providers
rather than developing their media delivery system.  Windows Media is relying on
streaming technology to deliver video and audio and offers no network management
solution.  Consumers with the Windows Media Player (a component of Windows Media
Technologies) can use the Burst-Enabled(TM) Windows Media Player to increase the
content quality, reliability and efficiency of their network.

     Tektronix

     Tektronix  has two product  lines,  Profile  video servers and Grass Valley
products that provide  communication  solutions  that are used to distribute and
store broadcast and post-production information. Tektronix is focusing primarily
on  Video-Centric  LAN/WAN  Networking  and  Broadcast  Production   Networking.
Tektronix is concentrating on the business-to-business markets primarily through
value added resellers,  direct sales,  service providers and Original  Equipment
Manufacturers.  Tektronix  does perform  minimal  network  management,  but uses
streaming technology.

     IP/TV

     Cisco Systems,  Inc.'s IP/TV claims its software offers  high-quality video
broadcasting   and  video  on  demand  services,   industry-leading   management
capabilities,  built-in  scalability,  network-friendly  technologies such as IP
Multicast, and an easy-to-use viewer interface. Cisco's IP/TV servers attempt to
provide  scalable,   turnkey   bandwidth-efficient   solutions.  Their  hardware
platforms  are  pre-configured  with the IP/TV  software,  creating  a  complete
network video  solution.  Cisco's  IP/TV is targeting  the  business-to-business
markets.  IP/TV is combining  streaming  technology  with its Content Manager to
balance  loads  and to track  specific  viewing  and  management  functions.  In
addition  to IP/TV,  Cisco  recently  announced  that it had  agreed to  acquire
SightPath,  Inc., a company that provides software permitting  end-users to more
easily broadcast live events over the Internet and centrally manage  engineering
designs or video for diagnosing medical conditions.

Others

     There are other  companies  who offer  streaming  media  solutions  for the
Internet and corporate  intranets.  Many claim to have streaming media solutions
for corporate training, distance education, health care, and entertainment. Some
companies  offer media  servers with the ability to stream  content to up to 500
desktops  at one time.  Others  offer  content  management  and  media  players.
Burstware(R)'s  potential  competitors  offer no or limited network  management.
This is a  rapidly  evolving  market  with no  barriers  to new  entrants.  Many
competitors,  current and potential,  may have access to more resources than are
available to us.

Sales and Marketing

     While we pursue  technology  licensing  arrangements  with streaming  media
industry  leaders,  we  will  continue  to  support  our  software  and  hosting
customers, as well as pursue new customers.  Such customers include any business
or  other  end-user  that  desires  to  send,   receive  or  effectively  manage
high-quality  video and audio  content over  networks.  Target  markets  include
corporate   communications,    education,    advertising,    entertainment   and
broadcasting.

     We market to our  customers  through a combination  of direct sales,  sales
representatives  and value added  resellers.  The  internal  sales  organization
consists of two individuals as of March 16, 2001.

     We do not  believe  that there is any  significant  seasonality  that would
affect  sales of our products or  services.  As of March 16, 2001,  there was no
backlog of unfilled orders for our products.

Patents and Trademarks

     Our business is highly dependent on our patent portfolio. We have nine U.S.
patents.  The early patents  describe a broad class of systems that allow a user
to view, edit, store video  information and send and receive the data associated
with that video information over networks in less time than is normally required
to  view or  listen  to the  content.  The  later  patents  describe  particular
distribution methods designed to deliver video information to remote systems.

     Our core patents  describe  systems that are able to receive a high quality
video signal, store received  information  locally,  manipulate that information
with editing,  processing,  compression  and  decompression  tools,  display the
signal for  viewing and re-send  the  manipulated  information  on to other such
machine  systems in  faster-than-real-time.  Our current  patents will expire on
various dates in 2007 through 2016.

     We have two European  patents that  incorporate  the subject  matter of the
first six U.S. patents,  three Australian patents,  one South Korean patent, one
Japanese patent, two Indian patents,  and one Canadian patent. We have filed for
a number of additional domestic and international patents.

     In addition to protecting the Burstware(R)  product offerings,  our patents
have  broader  application  as  various  market  applications  appear,  and  our
potential to license our intellectual  property expands into additional vertical
market segments.


                                       13


     We view our portfolio as a critical component in gaining relationships with
strategic partners,  strongly positioning our products'  competitive  advantage.
Potential  licensees include companies such as server and client  manufacturers,
bandwidth providers,  content aggregators,  copyright owners, and other hardware
manufacturers.

     We  have  registered  the  trademarks  "INSTANT  VIDEO(R)",   BURSTWARE(R),
BURSTAID(R),   FASTER-THAN-REAL-TIME(R),   BURSTWARE   CONDUCTOR(R),   BURSTWARE
PLAYER(R) and BURSTWARE  SERVER(R)," in the United States, as well as in certain
countries in Europe and Asia.

Employees

     As  of  April  2,  2001,  we  have  five  full-time  employees  working  in
administration, finance and legal. We have never experienced a work stoppage and
no personnel are represented under collective bargaining agreements. We laid off
77  employees  in  November  2000 and 11 on April  1,  2001 due to  insufficient
funding and revenues to support our organization.  Several former employees have
agreed to avail  themselves  on a contract  basis,  should the need and  funding
arise.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTY.

     We presently occupy  approximately 8,000 square feet of office space at 500
Sansome Street, San Francisco, California, under a lease that expires at the end
of  October  2005.  The lease  provides  for rent of $27,000  per  month,  fully
serviced.  We have closed all our regional  sales  offices.  We believe that our
facilities are not suitable and are excessive for our needs. We are currently in
negotiations  to buy out the lease of the Sansome  Street  property and move our
offices to Santa Rosa, California.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     On January 17, 2001, the Company filed for arbitration in an action against
Whit  SoundView  f/k/a  E*Offering.  The  action  was  filed  with the  American
Arbitration Association in San Francisco. The dispute involves the rescission of
an exclusive  investment banking agreement and return of fees. At this time, the
Company  estimates  that its  exposure  for legal and court costs  should not be
material.  We are not aware of any other material legal  proceedings  pending or
threatened against us.

stock was $0.34 on March 16, 2001.

DIVIDENDS

     Holders  of  Common  and  Preferred  Stock are  entitled  to  receive  such
dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors.  No dividends  have been
paid with respect to our stock and we  anticipate no dividends to be paid in the
foreseeable future. It is the present policy of the Board of Directors to retain
all earnings to provide for the growth of the Company. Payment of cash dividends
in the future  will  depend,  among  other  things,  upon our  future  earnings,
requirements for capital improvements and financial condition.

     At December 31, 2000, we had an accumulated  deficit of  approximately  $57
million and,  until this deficit is eliminated,  will be prohibited  from paying
dividends.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     In November and December 2000, we entered into two  Convertible  Promissory
Notes  aggregating  $500,000.  These Notes are  convertible at the option of the
Noteholder  into a new  series of  Preferred  Stock to be  identified  as Series
A-2001 at a per share  conversion price of $5.00. The Notes bear interest at the
rate of six  percent  (6%) per  annum  and are  payable  in full on their  first
anniversary.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     Certain statements contained in the following  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations,  including,  without
limitation,   statements   containing  the  words   "believes,"   "anticipates,"
"estimates," "expects," and words of similar meaning, constitute forward-looking
statements which involve risks and  uncertainties.  Burst's actual results could
differ


                                       15


materially from those anticipated in these forward looking  statements as
a result of certain factors,  including those factors set forth under "Risks and
Uncertainties" below.

GENERAL

     We are an independent  provider of  client/server  network software for the
delivery of video and audio information over networks.  Our principal  executive
offices are  located in San  Francisco,  California.  Our  software  manages the
delivery  of video  and audio  content  over  various  networks,  including  the
Internet and corporate  intranets,  optimizing network efficiency and quality of
service.  Our  Burstware(R)  suite of software  products  enables  companies  to
transmit  video  and audio  files at  Faster-Than-Real-Time(R)  speed,  which is
accomplished  by utilizing  available  bandwidth  capacity to send more video or
audio data to users than the players are  demanding.  This data is stored on the
users'  machine for playing on demand,  thus  isolating  the user from noise and
other network  interference.  The result is high quality,  full-motion video and
CD-quality audio to the end-user.  Our revenue is derived from fees for software
licenses, content hosting and other consulting services.

     We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and as of December
31,  2000,  we had an  accumulated  deficit of  $57,045,878  and cash on hand of
$296,584.  Our  operating  expenses as of December  31, 2000 were  approximately
$450,000 per month.  As of April 2, 2001, we had  approximately  $62,000 cash on
hand.  As  previously  disclosed,  we have been  pursuing a  business  plan that
envisioned raising  significant  additional  capital to continue  developing and
marketing our products.  However, sales of our newly released products have been
slower than expected and we have not been  successful in raising the  additional
capital  necessary to implement our original  business  plan. We believe that in
view of the  limited  market  demand for our  products  and the change in market
conditions  that  emerging new  technology  companies  have faced since April of
2000,  it no longer  appears  realistic  for us to pursue such a  comprehensive,
capital intensive plan. As of April 2, 2001, we have reduced projected operating
expenses to approximately  $100,000 per month,  primarily by closing all but one
of our marketing  offices and reducing our workforce from 95 to 5. The remaining
staff is key administrative,  financial,  and legal, and is considered necessary
to preserve  continuity.  Our immediate goal is to seek additional  financing to
maintain  limited  operations  and seek a  combination  of our  business  with a
strategic partner or a sale of all or a portion of our technology.  There can be
no assurance  that we will be  successful in our efforts to raise capital or, if
successful,  that we will  succeed in efforts at combining  our business  with a
strategic partner or selling our technology,  in which case we would be required
to terminate our operations. See also "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

We received notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff ("Staff")on December
21, 2000 that our common  stock  failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00
over the previous 30 consecutive  trading days, as required by Marketplace  Rule
4310(c)(4) ("the Rule"). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(B),  the
Company was given 90 days to regain  compliance with the Rule.  However,  within
the set time period,  the Company was unable to demonstrate such compliance.  On
March 22,  2001,  the  Company  received a  determination  letter from the Staff
stating that the Company had not  regained  compliance,  and that the  Company's
securities  would be delisted from the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market at the opening of
business on March 30, 2001. On March 29, 2001, the Company  appealed the Staff's
determination  pursuant to Marketplace  Rule 4820(a),  and a stay was granted on
March 30,  2001.  The Company has  requested a hearing  before a Nasdaq  Listing
Qualification  Panel to review the Staff  determination.  A hearing has been set
for May 11,  2001.  There  can be no  assurance  that the Panel  will  grant the
Company's  request for continued  listing.  In the event of a delisting from the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company would automatically continue to trade on the
Nasdaq OTCBB (Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board) market.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

     During the year ended December 31, 2000, we earned revenue in the amount of
$499,376 compared to $0.00 for 1999. We completed the commercial  release of our
Burstware(R)  suite of products  in November  1999 and  commenced  shipments  in
February  2000.  During 2000, we also  introduced our content  hosting  service,
which enables our customers to store their audio-video  content on our Burstware
servers for  delivery to their  employees,  customers  or other  end-users  over
broadband  networks.  During 2000, our customer  Interzest  accounted for 60% of
revenues. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues.

     We had no revenue or cost of revenue for the year ended  December 31, 1999,
compared  with  $15,000  revenue  for the same  period  in 1998.  These  minimal
revenues were the result of our  redirecting  our product and market activity to
the Burstware(R) family of products. We released our first product, Burstware(R)
Version 1.1, to the public in February  1999,  and in November  1999 we released
Burstware(R)  Version 1.2, which contained the  Burst-Enabled(TM)  Windows Media
Player. In 1999 we recruited key sales, marketing,  and development contributors
and signed six reseller agreements.  Customer evaluations were undertaken during
the second half of 1999 and initial sales commenced in February 2000.


                                       16


Cost of Revenue

     The product cost of revenue  recorded for 2000  consisted  primarily of the
cost of equipment  purchased from a third-party,  which was resold to a customer
in connection with a software sale. Resale of equipment is not part of our sales
strategy, and we do not plan to make such sales to any significant degree in the
future. The Company had no cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1999.

Operating Expenses

     Operating  expenses were $18,712,381 for the year ending December 31, 2000,
excluding  equipment  losses and  write-dowms  discussed  below,  as compared to
$11,509,619  during the same period in 1999.  This  resulted in total  operating
expenses  increasing by $7,202,762 for the year ending  December 31, 2000,  over
the same period in 1999. Research and development  increased by $223,596 for the
year  ending  December  31,  2000,  over the same  period  in 1999.  There  were
increases of $3,990,008  for sales and  marketing and  $2,989,158 in general and
administrative  for the year ending  December 31, 2000,  over the same period in
1999.  The  increased  costs were  primarily a result of an overall  increase in
business  activity  and the  establishment  and  expansion  of our sales  force,
marketing  programs  and  building  out  of  our  content  hosting  services  in
particular, as more fully explained below.

     During the year ended  December 31, 1999,  costs and expenses  increased to
$11,509,619,  as compared to $4,678,867 during the year ended December 31, 1998.
This  $6,830,752  increase  was a result of an  overall  expansion  in  business
activity, including growth in the research and development,  sales and marketing
departments,  as  well as a  non-recurring  charge  to  expense  related  to the
acquisition of Timeshift-TV.

Sales and Marketing

     For the year ending  December 31, 2000,  sales and marketing  expenses were
$8,175,525,  as compared to $4,185,517 during the same period in 1999. Sales and
marketing  expenses  consisted  primarily  of  advertising  and other  marketing
related expenses, compensation and employee-related expenses, sales commissions,
and travel costs. The increase in absolute dollars is primarily  attributable to
an  increase  in  advertising  costs  and  increases  in  compensation   expense
associated with growth in our direct sales force and marketing personnel.  As of
November 16, 2000 however,  over 70% of sales,  marketing,  support and business
development staff has been eliminated,  resulting in significant cost reductions
and revenue expectations going forward. As of April 2, 2001, all remaining sales
and marketing staff were laid off, and all sales offices have been shut down.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the  $3,354,500,  or 404% increase
in Sales and Marketing  over the year ended  December 31, 1998,  was primarily a
result of  increased  expenditures  relating  to the  commercial  release of our
Burstware(R)  product suite.  We added marketing staff and engaged in a targeted
marketing  campaign,  including print, radio and billboard  advertising,  public
relations,  collateral development, and participation in a number of major trade
shows.  These  promotional  activities  allowed  us to reach  specific  vertical
markets cost-effectively,  to support the efforts of the direct sales force, and
to generate publicity for us as a whole.

     The  marketing  campaign's   objectives  were  to  build  brand  awareness,
facilitate  name  recognition,  educate  the  market,  generate  sales leads and
develop   relationships  with  technology  partners,   systems  integrators  and
resellers. These expenditures continued as part of an overall plan to build upon
and expand the brand awareness we created in the marketplace.

     Sales  expenditures  increased  as a result of the  expansion  of our sales
force in conjunction with the launch of the Burstware(R)  suite of products.  We
had a sales and business  development office in Southern  California,  and sales
offices in Virginia, Colorado,  Michigan,  Metropolitan New York and Florida. We
also  partnered  with The EMS  Group,  Limited to  develop  sales and  marketing
channels in Europe.

Research and Development

     For the year ending December 31, 2000,  research and  development  expenses
were  $4,300,328  as  compared  to  $4,076,732  during the same  period in 1999.
Research and  development  expenses  consisted  primarily of payroll and related
expenses  incurred  for  enhancements  to and  maintenance  of our  Burstware(R)
technology and other operating  costs. The increase for the year ending December
31, 2000 is primarily  attributable to increases in the number of engineers that
developed and enhanced our software  technologies.  As of April 2, 2001, none of
the research and  development  staff remain as full-time  employees,  and we cut
back drastically in our product development spending.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the  $3,276,200,  or 409% increase
in Research and Development  expenditures over the year ended December 31, 1998,
resulted from the ramp-up in preparation for the initial  commercial release and
development and testing of enhanced features planned for subsequent  releases of
our product,  as well as  $1,330,000  of  in-process  research  and  development
acquired from Timeshift-TV  which was charged to expense.  The Quality Assurance
and Release Management  Department was established in 1999 to support subsequent
releases of  Burstware(R)  products.  Personnel were added to develop,  test and
complete  documentation of the product releases.  Major  development  activities
began  in the  areas  of  player  scripting,  incorporation  of a  database  for
replication, and various other features to be included in subsequent releases.

General and Administrative

     For the year ending December 31, 2000, general and administrative  expenses
were  $6,236,528  as  compared  to  $3,247,370  during the same  period in 1999.
General and  administrative  expenses consist primarily of compensation and fees
for professional  services, and the increase in absolute dollars is attributable
to increases in these areas. We believe that general and administrative expenses
will continue at reduced levels for the forseeable future.

     We had net loss from operations of $19,609,984 for the year ending December
31, 2000, as compared to $12,977,729  during the same period in 1999. This was a
51%  increase for the year ending  December  31,  2000,  over the same period in
1999.  The  increased  overall  year-to-date  loss  resulted  from the increased
expenditures discussed above.

     Total other expense net was $53,284 for the year ending  December 31, 2000,
as compared to $1,468,110 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in net other
expenses was due to a $1,414,826 decrease in interest.  The decrease in interest
expense was primarily due to reduction of debt and associated  interest  expense
through  conversion to common stock in our January 2000 private placement and an
increase in interest income earned on the proceeds of equity  financings.  These
decreases  in net other  expenses  were offset by non-cash  expense  recorded in
connection  with   additional   shares  of  common  stock  issued  without  cash
consideration to investors in our January 2000 financing.

     During the year ended  December  31,  1999,  we incurred a $200,100,  or 7%
increase in General and Administrative  expense over the year ended December 31,
1998, which resulted from additional  personnel,  equipment and facilities costs
to support the increased operations.


                                       17


Impairment of Long Lived Assets

     We review our long-lived  assets for impairment  whenever events or changes
in  circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying  amount  of an asset  may not be
recoverable.  Recoverability  of  assets  to be held and used is  measured  by a
comparison of the carrying  amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired,  the
impairment  to be  recognized  is measured  by the amount by which the  carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

     During the fourth  quarter of our fiscal year ending  December 31, 2000, we
recognized $1,312,931 of impairment in our leasehold improvements, computers and
equipment  assets  located  at our  principal  office  and at  seven  outsourced
Internet  hosting sites.  The reasons for the impairment  review were related to
the  layoff of 77  employees  (81% of our total  staff) in  November  2000,  the
closing down of six sales offices and  insufficient  net cash flows generated by
our hosting business.

     The  write-down  itself  includes  both  the net book  value  of  abandoned
equipment and leasehold  improvements and a reduction to estimated fair value of
certain remaining equipment and computers.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our  immediate  goal is to seek  immediate  financing  to maintain  limited
operations and seek a combination of our business with a strategic  partner or a
sale of all or a portion of our technology.  We believe that we need at least $1
million in additional financing to continue our significantly reduced operations
through June 2001.  However,  any projection of future cash needs and cash flows
is subject to  substantial  uncertainty.  As of March 16,  2001,  we have raised
$350,000 in additional convertible debt subsequent to year-end.

     Operating  expenses to date have been  funded  primarily  through  debt and
equity financing.  As of December 31, 2000 we had cash reserves of $296,584. Our
operating  expenses as of  December  31, 2000 were  approximately  $450,000  per
month. As of April 2, 2001, we have approximately  $62,000 cash on hand. We have
reduced  projected  operating  expenses to  approximately  $300,000 per month by
closing  marketing  offices,  reducing our workforce by  approximately  80%, and
implementing a payroll deferral program.

     Based on our  inability  to reduce  expenditures  to a further  degree,  we
believe that operating  requirements  cannot currently be met without  immediate
additional  financing.  We are currently in  negotiations  to obtain  additional
financing of approximately $1 million through the issuance of debt,  convertible
into  preferred  stock,  licensing of our  software,  and the sale of our common
stock. We believe that if successful in obtaining this additional capital, based
upon our reduced  operating  costs,  we will be able to operate  until June 2001
without the need for additional financing.  During this period, we plan to focus
our efforts on  attracting  a large  strategic  partner and  investor  that will
enable us to  continue  to  develop  and  market  our  technology  to  customers
requiring the high-quality,  reliable delivery of video and audio over broadband
networks; and/or attracting one or more merger and/or acquisition candidates who
would be willing to pay the highest price for our technology.  In the event that
we are  unsuccessful  in obtaining this  additional  capital or in  successfully
negotiating  a  business  combination  or sale of our  technology,  we  would be
required to terminate our operations.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     Subsequent  to December 31, 2000,  on January 30, 2001,  we sold  1,500,000
shares of common  stock to Eagle  Wireless  International,  Inc. in exchange for
400,000  shares of  ClearWorks.net,  Inc. (a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Eagle
Wireless  International,  Inc.) common  stock.  In a separate  transaction,  the
Company  executed a software  license  agreement with Eagle Wireless in exchange
for 104,000  shares of Eagle  Wireless  Stock.  On January 30, 2001,  our common
stock was valued at $0.5625 and ClearWorks.net, Inc. was valued at $3.40.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Liquidity

     The opinion from our auditors on our December 31, 2000 financial statements
contains a paragraph  suggesting that substantial doubt exists about our ability
to  continue  as a  "going  concern."  At  the  time  of  this  report,  we  had
insufficient cash reserves and receivables  necessary to meet forecast operating
requirements.  In the event we were to be  unsuccessful in our  fundraising,  we
would be required to  significantly  reduce  cash  outflows  through the further
reduction of  marketing  and sales,  development,  capital,  and  administrative
expenditures  resulting in decreased potential revenue and profitability and the
possibility of filing a petition for bankruptcy.


                                       18


Risks Relating to Burst.Com, Inc.

We are not currently profitable and may not achieve profitability.

     We have a history of losses and expect to  continue  to incur net losses at
least through the year 2001. We expect to incur significant  operating  expenses
and,  as a  result,  will  need to  generate  significant  revenues  to  achieve
profitability,  which may not occur. Even if we achieve profitability, we may be
unable to sustain or increase  profitability  on a quarterly  or annual basis in
the future.

We will need immediate financing in order to continue our operations, and we may
not be able to raise immediate financing on favorable terms, or at all.

     We need to raise immediate capital to continue our operations and implement
our plans to  respond  to  competitive  pressures,  or  otherwise  to respond to
unanticipated requirements. We are currently offering shares of our common stock
in a  private  placement  directed  to  strategic  investors.  The terms of such
financing,  including the number of shares and the price per share, have not yet
been  determined  and  will  be  subject  to  negotiations  between  us and  the
prospective investors. If consummated, this financing could adversely affect the
market price of our common stock. In addition, we cannot be certain that we will
be able to obtain this or any other future financing on commercially  reasonable
terms or at all.  Our failure to obtain  immediate  financing,  or  inability to
obtain financing on acceptable terms, could require us to limit our plans, incur
indebtedness  that  has  high  rates  of  interest  or  substantial  restrictive
covenants,   issue  equity  securities  that  will  dilute  your  holdings,   or
discontinue all or a portion of our operations.

Our  future  success  depends  on our  ability  to keep pace with  technological
changes, which could result in a loss of revenues.

     The emerging video streaming and content  delivery and hosting  industry is
characterized by:

     o    rapidly changing technologies;

     o    frequent new product introductions; and

     o    rapid changes in customer requirements.

     Video streaming  technologies have reached  commercially  acceptable levels
only in the  last  several  years  and are  continuing  to  experience  numerous
changes.  As a result,  we must be able to maintain and extend our technological
edge in order to ensure that our products remain commercially viable.

     Our future  success  will  depend on our  ability to market and enhance our
existing  products  and to  develop  and  introduce  new  products  and  product
features.  These products and features must be cost-effective and keep pace with
technological  developments and address the increasingly  sophisticated needs of
our customers.  We may not be successful at these tasks.  We may also experience
difficulties   that  could   delay  or  prevent  the   successful   development,
introduction and marketing of these new products and features.

We may not be able to timely adopt emerging industry  standards,  which may make
our   products   unacceptable   to  potential   customers,   delay  our  product
introductions or increase our costs.

     Our products  must comply with a number of current  industry  standards and
practices  established by various  international  bodies.  Our failure to comply
with  evolving  standards,   including  industry  standard  CODECS,  will  limit
acceptance of our products by market participants.  If new standards are adopted
in our industry, we may be required to adopt those standards in our products. It
may  take us a  significant  amount  of  time to  develop  and  design  products
incorporating   these  new  standards.   We  may  also  become   dependent  upon
technologies  developed by third parties and have to pay royalty fees, which may
be substantial,  to the developers of the technology that  constitutes the newly
adopted standards.

     Our products are technologically complex and are designed to interface with
third-party  products,  such as  Microsoft's  Windows  Media  Player(R)  and the
QuickTime(R) Player using publicly disseminated  application program interfaces,
or APIs.  Modifications to the APIs for these third-party products could require
further  development  effort on our part to continue to make the interface  work
properly  or, in some  cases,  result in an  inability  of our  products to work
properly with third-party products. There is no assurance that these development
efforts or similar  kinds of changes will be  successful  or that we can develop
new products  effectively and quickly enough to avoid loss of revenues or market
share.

If we do not  develop  new  products  or new  product  features  in  response to
customer  requirements  or in a timely way,  customers may not buy our products,
which would seriously harm our business.


                                       19


     The software  media  delivery  industry is rapidly  evolving and subject to
technological change and innovation. We must continue to enhance our products by
adding new product  features and  introduce new products in response to customer
requirements.  If we fail to do so or in a timely manner,  our customers may not
buy our products, resulting in serious harm to our business.

We will not be able to sell  sufficient  quantities of our products to sustain a
viable  business if the market for software  media  delivery  products  does not
develop or if a competing technology displaces our products.

     The software media delivery market is in the early stage of development and
is  still  evolving.  For  example,  telecommunication  companies  such  as  SBC
Communications,  Inc.  intend to develop  products and  services for  delivering
video  content to their  customers  through  digital  subscriber  line,  or DSL,
networks.  While we believe that our products can be  successfully  incorporated
into DSL and other  broadband  networks,  further testing and development of our
products in a DSL network and other  broadband  environments  will be necessary.
There can be no assurance  that our products  can be  successfully  incorporated
into DSL or other broadband  networks or that companies  operating such networks
will purchase our products. Our lack of product  diversification exposes us to a
substantial  risk of loss in the event that the software media  delivery  market
does not  develop or if a  competing  technology  replaces  our  software.  If a
competing  technology  replaces  or  takes  significant  market  share  from the
products that our software support,  we will not be able to sell our products in
quantities sufficient to grow our business.

We rely upon our sales of a small number of products, and the failure of any one
of our products to be  successful in the market could  substantially  reduce our
revenue.

     We rely on sales of a small  number of products  to generate  substantially
all of our revenue. We are developing  additional  software products,  but there
can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Consequently, if our
existing products are not successful, our sales could decline materially,  which
harm our financial performance.

Our products generally have long sales cycles and implementation  periods, which
increase  our costs in  obtaining  orders and reduce the  predictability  of our
earnings.

     Our products are technologically  complex.  Prospective customers generally
must make a  significant  commitment  to test and  evaluate  our software and to
integrate  it into  their  products.  As a result,  our sales  process  is often
subject to delays  associated  with lengthy  approval  processes.  For these and
other  reasons,  the initial sales cycles of our new software  products has been
lengthy,  recently averaging approximately four to six months from initiation in
late  1999 to  completion  in 2000.  We  expect  that  future  sales  will  also
experience lengthy sales cycles.

     Our  products are often  embedded in our  customers'  web pages.  Since the
proper  development of video enabled web pages requires a relatively  high level
of technological  expertise,  we may be required to provide professional service
support to our customers in this area. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to continue to staff  adequately for and deliver the level of  professional
services required, or that we will be able to charge the customer fully for this
work. The result could be further  impediments to sales and possibly higher than
anticipated costs of sales.

     Long sales  cycles are also subject to a number of  significant  risks over
which we have  little or no control and that are not  usually  encountered  in a
short sales span.  These risks  include our  customers'  budgetary  constraints,
internal  acceptance reviews and cancellation.  In addition,  orders expected in
one  quarter  could  shift to another  because  of the timing of our  customers'
procurement  decisions.  The time  required to  implement  our products can vary
significantly  with the needs of our customers  and generally  lasts for several
months;  larger  implementations  can  take  several  calendar  quarters.   This
complicates our planning process and reduces the predictability of our financial
results.

We may be subject to potential legal  liabilities for  distributing  information
from our Website.

      We may be  subjected  to  claims  based on  negligence  or other  theories
relating to the  information  we distribute  from our Website  hosting  service.
Similarly,  we may be  subjected  to  claims  for  defamation  or  copyright  or
trademark  infringement  relating to the information we provide in our products.
These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against on-line
services as well as print  publications  in the past. We could also be subjected
to claims based upon the content that is  accessible  from our products  through
links to other  websites.  These  types of claims  could be  time-consuming  and
expensive to defend,  and could result in the diversion of our management's time
and  attention.  In  addition,  if our  products  provide  faulty or  inaccurate
information,  or fail to


                                       20


provide  all the  information  a user  expects,  we  could be  subject  to legal
liability.  Our insurance and contractual  provisions with users and information
providers may not protect us against these types of claims.

We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property.

     Our  success  will  depend,   in  part,  on  our  ability  to  protect  the
intellectual property that we have developed through patents,  trademarks, trade
secrets, copyrights,  licenses and other intellectual property rights. We cannot
guarantee  that we will be able to protect  our  intellectual  property.  We are
subject to a number of risks relating to intellectual property rights, including
the following:

     o    the means by which we seek to protect our  proprietary  rights may not
          be adequate to prevent others from  misappropriating our technology or
          from  independently  developing or selling technology or products with
          features based on or similar to ours;

     o    Legal standards relating to the validity,  enforceability and scope of
          protection of proprietary  rights in  Internet-related  businesses are
          uncertain and still evolving.

     o    our  products  may be sold in  foreign  countries  that  provide  less
          protection  to  intellectual  property  than is  provided  under U.S.,
          Japanese or European community laws;

     o    our  intellectual  property  rights  may be  challenged,  invalidated,
          violated or  circumvented  and may not provide us with any competitive
          advantage; and

     o    our  patents  pending  may not be  approved  or may be only  partially
          approved.

As a result,  we cannot predict the future viability or value of our proprietary
rights and those of other companies within the industry.

If our proprietary technology infringes upon the intellectual property rights of
others,  our costs could  increase and our ability to sell our products could be
limited.

     We are not aware of any activity  that may be  infringing  any  proprietary
right of a third party. There can be no assurance,  however, that aspects of our
technology  would not be found to violate the  intellectual  property  rights of
other parties. The resulting risks include the following:

     o    other  companies  may hold or obtain  patents or may  otherwise  claim
          proprietary rights to technology that is necessary to our business;

     o    if we violate the  intellectual  property rights of other parties,  we
          may be required to modify our products or intellectual  property or to
          obtain a license to permit their continued use; and

     o    any future  litigation to defend us against  allegations  that we have
          infringed upon the rights of others could result in substantial  costs
          to us, even if we ultimately prevail.

     There are a number of companies  that hold  patents for various  aspects of
the technology  incorporated in our industry's standards (i.e. technologies that
deliver or manage audio and video  content such as Java,  Video,  Audio,  Vector
Graphics,  Shockwave,  and  Cursors.) We expect that  companies  seeking to gain
competitive  advantages will increase their efforts to enforce any patent rights
that they may have.  The  holders  of patents  from  which we have not  obtained
licenses  may take the  position  that we are  required to obtain a license from
them.  We cannot be certain that we would be able to negotiate any license at an
acceptable  price.  Our  inability  to do so could  substantially  increase  our
operating  expenses  or  require us to seek and  obtain  alternative  sources of
technology necessary to produce our products.

We began our current  product line of software  only  recently and, as a result,
your ability to evaluate our prospects may be limited.

     Although we have been operating since 1993, we have only recently commenced
sales of our present  product  line of media  delivery  software.  Prior to that
time, we sold custom  designed  software  products,  which we do not  anticipate
selling in the future. Our limited operating history with respect to our current
software may limit your ability to evaluate our prospects because of:

     o    our limited historical financial data relating to sales of our current
          software;

     o    our unproven potential to generate profits; and

     o    our limited  experience in addressing  emerging trends that may affect
          our software business.


                                       21


     As a young  company that  recently  commenced a new product  line,  we face
risks and  uncertainties  relating to our ability to implement our business plan
successfully.  You should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses
and difficulties we may encounter.

We may experience  fluctuations in our future operating results, which will make
predicting our future results difficult.

     These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors, including:

     o    market  acceptance  of our products,  including  changes in order flow
          from our largest  customers,  and our  customers'  ability to forecast
          their needs;

     o    the timing of new product announcements by us and our competitors;

     o    the lengthy sales cycle of our products;

     o    increased  competition,  including  changes  in  pricing  by us or our
          competitors;

     o    delays in deliveries by our suppliers and subcontractors;

     o    currency exchange rate fluctuations; and

     o    general  economic  conditions  in the  geographic  areas  in  which we
          operate.

     Accordingly,  any  revenues or net income in any  particular  period may be
lower than our  revenues  and net income in a preceding  or  comparable  period.
Period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful,
and you should not rely upon them as indications of our future  performance.  In
addition,  our  operating  results may be below the  expectations  of securities
analysts and investors in future periods. Our failure to meet these expectations
will likely cause our share price to decline.

Our products could contain  defects,  which would reduce sales of those products
or result in claims against us.

     We develop  complex  software for media  delivery,  content  management and
storage.  We have  recently  commenced  sales of our  first  commercial  product
released in late 1999 and have yet to achieve very large commercial deployments.
Despite  testing,  software  errors have been found in our product  and, in some
cases, our product's  performance  when initially  deployed has not met customer
expectations.  To date,  we believe that all of the errors in question have been
resolved. There can be no assurance,  however, that other errors will not occur,
as errors such as these are common in the  development of any software  product.
Additional errors in our product could result in, among other things, a delay in
recognition or loss of revenues, loss of market share, failure to achieve market
acceptance  or  substantial  damage to our  reputation.  We could be  subject to
material claims by customers,  and we may need to incur substantial  expenses to
correct any product  defects.  We do not have  product  liability  insurance  to
protect us against losses caused by defects in our products,  and we do not have
"errors and omissions" insurance.  As a result, any payments that we may need to
make to satisfy our customers may be substantial.

Our success  depends  upon our ability to  attract,  train and retain  qualified
engineers, sales and marketing and technical support personnel.

     We will need to hire  additional  engineers  and highly  trained  technical
support  personnel in order to succeed.  We will need to increase our  technical
staff to support new customers and the expanding needs of existing customers, as
well as our continued research and development operations.  We will need to hire
additional  sales and  marketing  personnel to target our  potential  customers.
Hiring  engineers,  sales and marketing and technical  support personnel is very
competitive in our industry  because of the limited  number of people  available
with  the  necessary  skills  and   understanding  of  our  products.   This  is
particularly true in California where the competition for qualified personnel is
intense. If we are unable to hire and retain necessary  personnel,  our business
will not develop and our operating results will be harmed.

                         Risks Relating to Our Industry

If software media  technology or our method of  implementing  this technology is
not accepted, we will not be able to sustain or expand our business.

      Our future  success  depends on the  growing use and  acceptance  of video
applications  for PCs and  set-top  boxes  including  the growth of video on the
Internet.  The market for these  applications is new, and may not develop to the
extent necessary to enable us to expand our business.  We have recently invested
and  expect  to  continue  to  invest  significant  time  and  resources  in the
development  of new  products  for this  market.  If the  target  market for our
solution does not grow, we may not obtain any benefits from these investments.

The  markets  in  which  we  operate  are  highly  competitive,  and many of our
competitors have much greater  resources than we do, which may make it difficult
for us to become profitable.

     Competition  in our  industry  is  intense,  and we expect  competition  to
increase.  Competition  could force us to charge lower prices for our  products,
reduce demand for our products and reduce our ability to recover development and
manufacturing costs.

     Some of our competitors:

     o    have greater financial, personnel and other resources than ours;

     o    offer a broader range of products and services than ours;

     o    may be able to  respond  faster  to new or  emerging  technologies  or
          changes in customer requirements than we can;

     o    may have a more substantial distribution network than ours;

     o    benefit from greater purchasing economies than we do;

     o    offer more aggressive pricing than we do; and

     o    devote  greater  resources to the promotion of their  products than we
          do.

     We will not be able to  compete  effectively  if we are not able to develop
and implement appropriate strategies to address these factors.

Internal development efforts by our customers and new entrants to the market may
increase competition.

     In the future,  some of our customers may internally  develop products that
will replace the  products  that we currently  sell to them.  In addition,  some
leading  companies,  with  substantially  greater  resources  than we have,  may
attempt to enter our market.  The recent growth in the market for media delivery
and related technologies is attracting large entrants.

We depend on the continued growth and commercial acceptance of the Internet.

     Our  business  will be  adversely  affected  if usage of the  Internet  and
broadband  access does not continue to grow as  anticipated.  This growth may be
inhibited by a number of factors, such as:

     o    inadequate network infrastructure;

     o    inconsistent quality of service;

     o    lack of cost-effective broadband high-speed services;

     o    lack of cost-effective storage; and

     o    security concerns.

     Even  if  Internet   use  and   broadband   access   grows,   the  Internet
infrastructure  may not be able to  support  future  growth  adequately  and its
reliability and quality of service may suffer.  In addition,  numerous  websites
have experienced service interruptions due to outages and other delays occurring
internally and throughout the Internet network infrastructure.  If these outages
or delays occur  frequently in the future,  Internet  usage, as well as usage of
our products, could grow more slowly or decline.

     Delivery of video using the Internet is an emerging  business.  Many of our
customers are new companies that are innovating and counting on  Burstware(R) to
provide a  technological  edge.  Because many of these companies are early stage
enterprises  without  revenues,  they  may  delay  payment  or  fail  to pay our
invoices. For this reason, we have deferred a substantial portion of revenue


                                       23


booked until  collectibility  has been assured.  There is no assurance that this
revenue will ultimately be collected and recognized or that future bookings will
not be deferred.

We may face  government  regulation  and  legal  uncertainties  relating  to the
Internet.

     Currently,  there are few laws or regulations  that  specifically  regulate
communications or commerce on the Internet. However, laws and regulations may be
adopted   that   address   issues  such  as  user   privacy,   pricing  and  the
characteristics  and quality of  products  and  services.  For  example,  recent
federal  legislation  prohibits the transmission of certain types of information
and content over the Internet. In addition, several telecommunications companies
have petitioned the Federal  Communications  Commission to regulate Internet and
on-line  service  providers  in a  manner  similar  to long  distance  telephone
carriers and to impose access fees on such  providers.  This could  increase the
cost of  transmitting  data over the  Internet.  Moreover,  it may take years to
determine the extent to which  existing laws relating to issues such as property
ownership, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet.  Finally, state tax
laws and regulations relating to the provision of products and services over the
Internet are still developing. If individual states impose taxes on products and
services  provided over the Internet,  the cost of our products and services may
increase and we may not be able to increase the price we charge for our products
to cover these costs.  Any new laws or  regulations  or new  interpretations  of
existing laws and regulations  relating to the Internet could  adversely  affect
our business.

ITEM  7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     At December 31, 2000, we had no money  invested in money market funds.  The
primary objective of our investment  activities is to preserve our capital until
it is required to fund operations while at the same time achieving a market rate
of return without significant risk. Since no funds were invested, a 10% movement
in market  interest  rates  would not have a  material  impact on the total fair
value of our portfolio as of December 31, 2000.

ITEM  8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

     The Report of the Auditors and the  accompanying  financial  statements and
notes to the  financial  statements  are on pages F-1  through  F-17.  Financial
Statement schedules are not required and have been omitted.


ITEM  9.  CHANGES  IN AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND
      FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

     On December 17, 1999,  KPMG LLP,  who was  previously  engaged to audit our
financial  statements  for the years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1998 as our
independent  accountants resigned.  During 1997 and 1998 and through the date of
resignation,  there were no disagreements  between us and KPMG LLP on any matter
of accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial  statement  disclousure  or
auditing scope or procedure  which if not resolved to their  satisfaction  would
have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the  disagreement in
connection with their report.

     The audit report  prepared by KPMG LLP did not contain any adverse  opinion
or  disclaimer of opinion,  nor was it qualified or modified as to  uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles,  except as follows: KPMG LLP's independent
auditors'  report on our  consolidated  financial  statements as of December 31,
1998 and 1997 and for the years  then  ended,  contained  a  separate  paragraph
stating that "the Company has suffered  recurring losses from operations and has
negative cash flows from operating activities that raise substantial doubt about
its  ability to  continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regard to
these  matters  include  raising  sufficient  capital  to allow the  Company  to
complete  development  and  successful  commercialization  of its products." The
consolidated  financial  statments  do not  include any  adjustments  that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

     KPMG advised our Audit  Committee  in May 1998  regarding  certain  matters
involving internal control that it considered to be reportable  conditions under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Such matters involved the inappropriate  recognition of revenue during the first
quarter of 1997 and an alleged misappropriation of funds.

     On January 24, 2000,  Burst.com,  Inc.  appointed  BDO Seidman,  LLP as the
Company's independent auditors.  Prior to engaging BDO Seidman, LLP, neither the
Company nor anyone on its behalf  consulted with BDO Seidman,  LLP regarding (i)
the  application  of accounting  principles to a specified  transaction,  either
completed  or proposed;  or the type of audit  opinion that might be rendered on
the  Company's  financial  statements,  or (ii) any  matter  that was either the
subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

     The  following  table sets forth  information  with  respect to  beneficial
ownership of our common stock by:

     o    each person who beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock;

     o    each of our executive officers;

     o    each of our directors; and

     o    all executive officers and directors as a group.

     Except as otherwise noted, the address of each 5% stockholder listed in the
table is c/o Burst.com,  Inc., 500 Sansome Street, Suite 500, San Francisco,  CA
94111.  Beneficial  ownership is determined in accordance  with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and includes voting and investment power with
respect to shares. To our knowledge,  except under applicable community property
laws or as otherwise indicated,  the persons named in the table have sole voting
and sole investment control with respect to all shares  beneficially  owned. The
applicable  percentage of ownership for each  stockholder is based on 21,648,125
shares of common stock  outstanding  on March 16, 2001 together with  applicable
options and warrants for that stockholder.  Shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of options and other rights  beneficially  owned are deemed outstanding
for the purpose of computing  the  percentage  ownership  of the person  holding
those options and other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage ownership of any other person.



                                                                       Number of Shares          Percentage of

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Burst.com, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Burst.com, Inc.
and subsidiaries  (the Company) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related
consolidated statements of operations,  stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period  ending  December 31, 2000.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Burst.com,  Inc. and
subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  2000  and  1999,  and the  results  of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period  ending
December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

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
consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company has suffered  recurring losses
from operations and has a net capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about
its  ability to  continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regard to
these  matters  are  also  described  in  Note  1.  The  consolidated  financial
statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Burst.com, Inc. (formerly Instant Video Technologies, Inc.):

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   consolidated  statements  of  operations,
stockholders' (deficit) equity, and cash flows of Burst.com, Inc. and subsidiary
(the Company) for the year ended December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing

conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  The Company has  suffered
recurring  losses from  operations  and has negative  cash flows from  operating
activities that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.   Management's  plans  in  regard  to  these  matters  include  raising
sufficient  capital to allow the Company to complete  development and successful
commercialization of its products.  The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     CHANGE OF NAME

     On January 27,  2000,  the  Company  changed  its name from  Instant  Video
     Technologies, Inc. to Burst.com, Inc.

     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Burst.com,  Inc. (the Company) licenses burst transmission software for use
     within  commercial,  multimedia  and  interactive  environments.  The burst
     technology   allows  for  time   compression  and  burst   transmission  of
     video/audio  programming that results in time-savings,  network  efficiency
     and superior quality products.

     LIQUIDITY

     Since  inception,  the Company  has  incurred  development  costs and other
     expenses  resulting in  cumulative  losses of  $57,045,878.  The  Company's
     current  liabilities  exceed  current  assets by $2,080,767 at December 31,
     2000. In November 2000,  the Company  reduced its head count from 97 to 20.
     On April 1, 2001, the number of employees was reduced to 5.

     There is  substantial  doubt about the  Company's  ability to continue as a
     growing  concern.   Management  recognizes  that  the  Company  must  raise
     immediate  capital to enable it to continue its  operations.  Management is
     attempting  to raise  sufficient  capital to allow the  company to complete
     development  and  successful   commercialization   of  its  products.   The
     accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared  contemplating  the
     Company will continue as a going  concern.  No assurances can be given that
     the Company will be  successful  in raising  immediate  capital or that the
     Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If the Company is
     unable to obtain  adequate  additional  financing  and bring the Company to
     profitability  or positive cash flow, there can be no assurance the Company
     can continue as a going concern.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying  financial  statements  include the accounts of Burst.com,
     Inc.  and its wholly  owned  subsidiaries,  Explore  Technology,  Inc.  and
     Timeshift-TV.  All significant intercompany  transactions and accounts have
     been eliminated in consolidation.

     CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash  equivalents  consist of money market  accounts  and other  short-term
     investments with an original remaining term of three months or less.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company's revenue in 1998 consisted of one  non-recurring  sale of test
     software that was recognized upon delivery.

     Effective  January 1, 1998, the Company  adopted the American  Institute of
     Certified Public  Accountants'  Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, which
     provided  revised  guidance  for  recognizing  revenue on certain  software
     transactions.  No revenue is recognized  until  evidence of an  arrangement
     exists,  delivery  has  occurred,  the fee is  fixed  or  determinable  and
     collection  is  probable.  Adoption  of  the  new  SOP  had  no  effect  on
     recognition of revenue, results of operations or financial position.

     License  fees and  services  are  recognized  as revenue  ratably  over the
     license period.  No revenue is recognized  until evidence of an arrangement
     exists,  delivery  has  occurred,  the fee is  fixed  or  determinable  and
     collection is probable.


                                       50


     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is computed using
     the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets that
     range from three to five years.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development  costs are charged to operations as incurred until
     such time as both  technological  feasibility  is  established  and  future
     economic  benefit  is  assured.  To  date,  such  conditions  have not been
     satisfied, and, accordingly, all software engineering and development costs
     have been expensed as incurred.  See note 4 for certain in-process research
     and development purchased in 1999.

     ADVERTISING COSTS

     The Company expenses  advertising  costs as incurred.  The Company incurred
     $1,489,842 of advertising in 2000, $587,000 in 1999 and none in 1998.

     INCOME TAXES

     Income  taxes are  accounted  for under  the  asset and  liability  method.
     Deferred  tax  assets and  liabilities  are  recognized  for the future tax
     consequences  attributable to differences  between the financial  statement
     carrying amount of existing assets and  liabilities,  and, their respective
     tax bases and  operating  loss and tax credit  carryforwards.  Deferred tax
     assets and  liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax rates  expected to
     apply to taxable income in the years in which those  temporary  differences
     are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets
     and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized  in income in the
     period that includes the enactment date. A valuation  allowance is recorded
     for  deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or
     all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

     LOSS PER SHARE AND DILUTIVE SECURITIES

     Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted  average number of shares
     of common  stock  outstanding.  Diluted  net loss per share is based on the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding and dilutive
     common equivalent  shares from stock options and warrant  outstanding using
     the treasury stock method.

     The following is a summary of the securities that could potentially  dilute
     basic  loss  per  share  in  the  future  that  were  not  included  in the
     computation   of  diluted  loss  per  share  because  to  do  so  would  be
     antidilutive.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company's financial  instruments consist of cash equivalents,  accounts
     receivable,  accounts payable,  and debt. The Company believes the reported
     amounts of its financial  instruments  approximates fair value,  based upon
     the short maturity of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable and
     based on the current rates available to the Company or similar debt issuer.

     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company accounts for its stock-based  compensation  plans for employees
     using the intrinsic value method. As such, compensation expense is recorded
     if on the  measurement  date,  which is  generally  the date of grant,  the
     current fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.

     The equity  instruments  issued to non-employees  are accounted for at fair
     value.  The fair value of the equity  instrument is determined using either
     the fair value of the underlying stock or the Black-Scholes  option pricing
     model.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management  of the Company has made a number of estimates  and  assumptions
     relating to the reporting of assets and  liabilities  and the disclosure of
     contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial  statements in
     conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Actual results
     could differ from those estimates. The Company's most significant estimates
     are those related to the valuation of stock, stock options, and warrants in
     connection with equity and financing transactions.

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The  Company  has no  component  of  comprehensive  income  other  than its
     reported amounts of net loss applicable to holders of common stock.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain   items  have  been   reclassified   to  conform  to  current  year

(7)  INCOME TAXES

     At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards for
     federal income tax purposes of approximately $41,182,000, which are subject
     to annual  limitations,  and are available to offset future taxable income,
     if any, through 2020 and net operating loss  carryforwards for state income
     tax purposes of  approximately  $18,075,000,  which are available to offset
     future state taxable income through 2010.

     The  temporary  differences  that  give rise to  deferred  tax  assets  and
     liabilities at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:



                                                               2000           1999

                                                           ============    ===========


     The net change in the valuation  allowance for the years ended December 31,
     2000 and 1999 was an increase of $6,876,300  and an increase of $4,178,000,
     respectively.  In  assessing  the  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  to be
     recognized,  management  considers  whether it is more likely than not that
     some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  It is
     not  possible at this time


                                       56


     to  determine  that the  deferred tax assets are more likely to be realized
     than not; accordingly,  a full valuation allowance has been established for
     all periods presented.

     The  Tax  Reform  Act  of  1986  imposed  substantial  restrictions  on the
     utilization  of net  operating  losses  and tax  credits in the event of an
     "ownership  change," as defined by the Internal  Revenue Code.  All federal
     and state net operating loss  carryforwards  are subject to limitation as a
     result of these  restrictions.  If there should be a  subsequent  ownership
     change,  as defined,  the  Company's  ability to utilize its  carryforwards
     could be reduced.

(8)  BUSINESS RISKS AND SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

     The  Company's  primary  source of revenue is from the  licensing  of Burst
     technology,  and its success is largely dependent on this product.  Changes
     in desirability of the product in the marketplace may significantly  affect
     the Company's future operating results.

     The Company  operates in one segment and  accordingly has provided only the
     required  enterprise  wide  disclosure.  The Company  recognized no foreign
     revenues in 2000, 1999 or 1998.

(9)  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1998,  The  American  Institute of  Certified  Public  Accountants
     issued Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1,  Accounting for the Costs of
     Computer  Software  Developed or Obtained  for  Internal  Use. SOP No. 98-1
     requires  that  certain  costs  related to the  development  or purchase if
     internal-use  software be  capitalized  and  amortized  over the  estimated
     useful  life of the  software.  SOP No.  98-1 is  effective  for  financial
     statements  issued for fiscal years  beginning after December 15, 1998. The
     adoption  of SOP No.  98-1  did not have a  material  impact  on  financial
     condition or results of operations.

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
     No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS
     No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivative  contracts as either
     assets or  liabilities  in the  balance  sheet and to measure  them at fair
     value.  If certain  conditions  are met, a derivative  may be  specifically
     designated  as a hedge,  the  objective  of which is to match the timing of
     gain or loss recognition on the hedging  derivative with the recognition of
     (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities  that
     are  attributable  to the hedged  risk or (ii) the  earnings  effect of the
     hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging
     instrument,  the gain and loss is  recognized  in income  in the  period of
     change.  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.
     In June 2000,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 138,  Accounting  for  Derivative
     Instruments  and Hedging  Activities - An Amendment of FASB  Statement  No.
     133, which addressed certain implementation issues of SFAS No. 133.

     Historically,  the Company has not entered into derivative contracts either
     to hedge  existing  risks or for  speculative  purposes.  Accordingly,  the
     Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material
     impact on the Company's financial position,  results of operations, or cash
     flows.

     In December 1999, the SEC staff  released Staff  Accounting  Bulletin (SAB)
     No. 101,  Revenue  Recognition  in  Financial  Statements,  which  provides
     interpretive guidance on the recognition,  presentation,  and disclosure of
     revenue in  financial  statements.  SAB 101 must be  applied  to  financial
     statements no later than the quarter ended September 30, 2000. There was no
     material impact from the application of SAB 101 on the Company's  financial
     position, results of operations, or cash flows.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued  Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44),  Accounting
     for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of
     APB Opinion No. 25. FIN 44 clarifies the  application of Opinion No. 25 for
     (a) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying  Opinion No. 25,
     (b)  the  criteria  for   determining   whether  a  plan   qualifies  as  a
     non-compensatory   plan,  (c)  the  accounting   consequences   of  various
     modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and
     (d) the  accounting  for an  exchange  of stock  compensation  awards  in a
     business  combination.  FIN 44 became  effective  July 2, 2000, but certain
     conclusions  cover  specific  events that occur after  either  December 15,
     1998,  or January 12,  2000.  FIN 44 did not have a material  impact on the
     Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
