  Item 5.  Other Events.
  
           On October 7, 1998, Digital Data Networks, Inc. ("Digital Data")
  entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with
  Internet Sports Network, Inc. ("ISN"), pursuant to which ISN will merge (the
  "Merger") with and into Digital Data, with Digital Data being the surviving
  corporation. Under the Agreement, Digital Data will effect, prior to closing, a
  1:1.627 reverse stock split, while ISN stockholders will exchange one share of
  ISN common stock for one share of Digital Data common stock. Following the
  completion of the Merger, the stockholders of ISN will own approximately 86% of
  the issued and outstanding stock of Digital Data, and the stockholders and
  option holders of Digital Data will own approximately 14% of the issued and
  outstanding stock, in each case on a fully-diluted basis, excluding Digital
  Data's publicly-traded warrants.
  
           Following the completion of the Merger, the Board of Directors of the
  surviving corporation (which will be re-named Internet Sports Network, Inc.)
  will consist of five individuals, four of whom will be nominees of ISN and one
  of whom will be a nominee of Digital Data.
  
           The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is
  subject to several material conditions including, among others, the approval of
  the Merger by the stockholders of Digital Data and ISN, the registration of the
  shares issuable in the Merger, the completion of a $1,200,000 private offering
  by ISN, the completion of a $250,000 investment by Digital Data in ISN, the
  requirement that Digital Data have a minimum amount of cash or cash equivalents
  at closing, and the absence of adverse changes to the businesses of Digital Data
  and ISN. Although there can be no assurance that the Merger will be completed,
  the parties expect, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions, to consummate
  the Merger on or before January 31, 1999. A press release describing the merger
  is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
  
           This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements
  which are based on Digital Data's expectations and are subject to a number of
  risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Digital Data's control.
  These statements include information regarding ISN's operations and prospects
  and the completion of the Merger. Actual results could vary materially from
  expected results due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the
  general performance of ISN and Internet sports entertainment generally, and
  other factors applicable to Digital Data and its business referred to in the
  Securities and Exchange Commission filings of Digital Data. You should read
  carefully Digital Data's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
  December 31, 1997 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters
  ended March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998.
