Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PFSweb Overview

     PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company,” while the term “PFSweb” refers to PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries excluding Business Supplies Distributors Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries.

     PFSweb is an international provider of integrated business process outsourcing services to major brand name companies seeking to maximize their supply chain efficiencies and to extend their traditional and e-commerce initiatives in the United States, Canada, and Europe. PFSweb offers such services as professional consulting, technology collaboration, managed web hosting and internet application development, order management, web-enabled customer contact centers, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, information management, option kitting and assembly services, and international fulfillment and distribution services.

Supplies Distributors Overview

In 2001, Business Supplies Distributors Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Supplies Distributors, Inc. (“Supplies Distributors”). Concurrently, Supplies Distributors formed its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Supplies Distributors of Canada, Inc. (“SDC”) and Supplies Distributors S.A. (“SDSA”), a Belgium Corporation. Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries are master distributors of various products, primarily International Business Machines (“IBM”) products. Pursuant to a transaction management services agreement between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb provides to Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries such services as managed web hosting and maintenance, procurement support, web-enabled customer contact center services, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services, information management, and international distribution services. Additionally, IBM and Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries have outsourced the product demand generation function for the IBM products distributed by Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries. Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries sell their products in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2004, and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion of management and subject to the foregoing, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2004, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and its results of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Results of the Company’s operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

     Certain prior period data has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or shareholders’ equity.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounts and transactions between PFSweb and Holdings and its subsidiaries have been eliminated as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Subordinated Loan to Affiliate

     PFSweb has loaned Supplies Distributors monies in the form of a Subordinated Demand Note (“Subordinated Note”). Under certain terms of its senior debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased or decreased without prior approval of the Company’s lenders. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s lenders agreed to reduce the required minimum Subordinated Note balance from $8.0 million to $7.0 million. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note, which is eliminated upon the consolidation of Holdings’ financial position, was $7.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, including allowances for the collectibility of accounts and other receivables and the recoverability of inventory. The recognition and allocation of certain operating expenses in these consolidated financial statements also required management estimates and assumptions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from estimates. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it would likely result in a material adverse impact to the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

     The Company’s product revenue was primarily generated by sales of product purchased under master distributor agreements with one supplier. Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 13% and 10% of the Company’s total product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Service fee revenue from two clients accounted for approximately 31% and 22% of net service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004. On a consolidated basis, two customers/clients accounted for approximately 15% and 10% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004. As of March 31, 2004, two customers/clients accounted for approximately 30% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2003, two customers/clients accounted for approximately 37% of accounts receivable.

     In conjunction with Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ financings, PFSweb has provided certain collaterized guarantees on behalf of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries. Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees. Additionally, since Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries have limited personnel and physical resources, their ability to conduct business could be materially impacted by contract terminations by the party performing product demand generation for the IBM products.

     The Company has multiple arrangements with IBM and is dependent upon the continuation of such arrangements. These arrangements, which are critical to the Company’s ongoing operations, include Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ master distributor agreements, Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ working capital financing agreements, product sales to IBM business units, a general contractor relationship through PFSweb’s largest client, and a term master lease agreement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are defined as short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Inventories

     Inventories (merchandise, held for resale, all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of cost or market. Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries assume responsibility for slow-moving inventory under certain master distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but have the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined. The Company reviews inventory for impairment on a periodic basis, but at a minimum, annually. Recoverability of the inventory on hand is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the inventory to the fair value of the inventory. The allowance for slow moving inventory was $1.7 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

     In the event PFSweb, Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries and IBM terminate the master distributor agreements, the parties shall mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ then existing inventory.

     Inventories include merchandise in-transit that has not been received by the Company but that has been shipped and invoiced by Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ vendors. The corresponding payable for inventories in-transit is included in debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Property and Equipment

     The Company’s property held under capital leases amounted to approximately $4.0 million and $3.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $4.8 million and $4.6 million, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock options using the intrinsic-value method as outlined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations, including FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation and Interpretation of APB No. 25, issued in March 2000. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of the grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The exercise prices of all options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. As such, no compensation cost was recognized during those periods for stock options granted to employees. The following table shows the pro forma effect on the Company’s net loss and loss per share as if compensation cost had been recognized for stock options based on their fair value at the date of the grant. The pro forma effect of stock options on the Company’s net loss for those years may not be representative of the pro forma effect for future years due to the impact of vesting and potential future awards.

The asset based credit facility provides for the reduction of the maximum credit limit from $27.5 million to $22.5 million on July 1, 2004 unless IBM Credit LLC sells a participation interest in the facility, in which event the maximum credit limit will be reduced to $22.5 million plus the amount of any participation interest, but in no event more than $27.5 million through its expiration on March 29, 2005. As of March 31, 2004, Supplies Distributors had $1.2 million of available credit under this facility.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Information

     We have made forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and there can be no guarantee that these statements will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements include assumptions as to how we may perform in the future. When we use words like “seek,” “strive,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “target” and “estimate” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those set forth above or elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. These factors include:

    our ability to retain and expand relationships with existing clients and attract and implement new clients;
 
    our reliance on the fees generated by the transaction volume or product sales of our clients;
 
    our reliance on our clients’ projections or transaction volume or product sales;
 
    our dependence upon our agreements with IBM;
 
    our client mix, their business volumes and the seasonality of their business;
 
    our ability to finalize pending contracts;
 
    the impact of strategic alliances and acquisitions;
 
    trends in the market for our services;
 
    trends in e-commerce;
 
    whether we can continue and manage growth;
 
    changes in the trend toward outsourcing;
 
    increased competition;
 
    our ability to generate more revenue and achieve sustainable profitability;
 
    effects of changes in profit margins;
 
    the customer and supplier concentration of our business;
 
    the unknown effects of possible system failures and rapid changes in technology;
 
    trends in government regulation both foreign and domestic;
 
    foreign currency risks and other risks of operating in foreign countries;
 
    potential litigation;
 
    our dependency on key personnel;
 
    our ability to raise additional capital or obtain additional financing; and
 
    our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries to borrow under current financing arrangements and maintain compliance with debt covenants.

     We have based these statements on our current expectations about future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee you that these expectations actually will be achieved. In addition, some forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expected or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. There may be additional risks that we do not currently view as material or that are not presently known.

Overview

     We are an international provider of integrated business process outsourcing solutions to major brand name companies seeking to maximize their supply chain efficiencies and to extend their traditional business and e-commerce initiatives. We derive our revenues from a broad range of services, including professional consulting, technology collaboration, order management, managed web hosting and web development,

13


Table of Contents

customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, options kitting and assembly services, information management and international fulfillment and distribution services. We offer our services as an integrated solution, which enables our clients to outsource their complete infrastructure needs to a single source and to focus on their core competencies. Our distribution services are conducted at our warehouses and include real-time inventory management and customized picking, packing and shipping of our clients’ customer orders. We currently provide infrastructure and distribution solutions to clients that operate in a range of vertical markets, including technology manufacturing, computer products, printers, cosmetics, fragile goods, high security collectibles, pharmaceuticals, contemporary home furnishings, apparel, telecommunications and consumer electronics, among others.

     We provide these services, and earn our revenue, through two separate business segments, which have operationally similar business models. The first business segment is a service fee revenue model. In this segment, we do not own the underlying inventory or the resulting accounts receivable, but provide management services for these client-owned assets. We typically charge our service fee revenue on a percent of shipped revenue basis or a per-transaction basis, such as a per-minute basis for web-enabled customer contact center services and a per-item basis for fulfillment services. Additional fees are billed for other services. We price our services based on a variety of factors, including the depth and complexity of the services provided, the amount of capital expenditures or systems customization required, the length of contract and other factors.

     Many of our service fee contracts involve third-party vendors who provide additional services such as package delivery. The costs we are charged by these third-party vendors for these services are often passed on to our clients (and, in many cases, our clients’ customers). Our billings for reimbursements of these and other ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses, such as travel, shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges are included in gross service fee revenue. The related reimbursable costs for pass-through expenditures are reflected as pass-through charges and reduce total gross service fee revenue in computing net service fee revenue.

     Our second business segment is a product revenue model. In this segment, we are a master distributor of product for IBM and certain other clients. In this capacity, we purchase, and thus own, inventory. As a result, upon the sale of inventory, we own the accounts receivable. This business segment requires significant working capital requirements, for which we have senior financing facilities to provide for up to approximately $77 million of available financing. Our services include purchasing and reselling client product inventory within this product revenue segment. In these arrangements, our product revenue is recognized at the time product is shipped. Product revenue includes freight costs billed to customers and is reduced for pass through customer marketing programs.

Growth is a key element to us achieving our future goals, including reaching sustainable profitability. Our growth is driven by two main elements: new client relationships and organic growth from existing clients. On an overall basis, we have experienced an increase in service fee revenues from existing clients and an increase in product revenues in recent periods. However, due to uncertainty in the United States economic climate, lead times to close new business continue to be longer than we would ultimately desire and our closure rate is difficult to predict.

     Our expenses comprise primarily three categories: 1) cost of service fee revenue, 2) cost of product revenue and 3) selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

     Cost of service fee revenue – consists primarily of compensation and related expenses for our web-enabled customer contact center services, international fulfillment and distribution services and professional consulting services, and other fixed and variable expenses directly related to providing services under the terms of fee based contracts, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses.

     Cost of product revenue - cost of product revenue consists of the purchase price of product sold and freight costs, which are reduced by certain reimbursable expenses. These reimbursable expenses include pass through customer marketing programs, direct costs incurred in passing on any price decreases offered by IBM to us or our customers to cover price protection and certain special bids, the cost of products

provided to replace defective product returned by customers and certain other expenses as defined under the master distributor agreements.

     SG&A expenses - consist primarily of compensation and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, executive, management and administrative personnel and other overhead costs, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses. In addition, certain direct contract costs related to our IBM and other master distributor agreements are reflected as selling and administrative expenses.

     Monitoring and controlling our available cash balances continues to be a primary focus. Our cash and liquidity positions are important components of our financing of both current operations and our targeted growth. During 2003 we added to our available cash and liquidity positions through two primary transactions. First, we entered into a working capital financing agreement with a bank that currently provides financing for up to $5 million of eligible accounts receivable and financing for up to $2.5 million of eligible capital expenditures. Secondly, we completed a private placement of approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock to certain investors that provided net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million.

Results of Operations for the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003

     Product Revenue. Product revenue was $68.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $59.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $8.9 million, or 14.8%. The increase in product revenue resulted primarily from the favorable impact of exchange rates on our European and Canadian operations and increased sales volumes of many existing products. In addition, product revenue was favorably impacted by the addition of certain new products and increased sales prices for certain products.

     Net Service Fee Revenue. Net service fee revenue was $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $0.4 million or 5.4%. The change in net service fee revenue is shown below ($ millions):

     Net service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 included approximately $0.6 million of fees earned from clients contracts terminated during 2004.

     Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue was $64.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $56.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $8.1 million or 14.3%. Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 94.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 94.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2003. Cost of product revenue increased from the prior period from the impact of exchange rates on our European and Canadian operations, increased volumes of many existing products and the addition of certain new product and additional reserves for inventory impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The resulting gross profit margin was 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

     Cost of Net Service Fee Revenue. Cost of net service fee revenue was $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $0.3 million or 5.7%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $1.8 million, or 25.4% of net service fee revenue, during the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $1.7 million, or 25.7% of net service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003. As we add new service fee revenue in the future, we currently intend to target the underlying contracts to earn an average gross profit percentage of 30-40%.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, or 9.3% of total net revenues, as compared to $6.1 million, or 9.2% of total net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2003. SG&A expenses increased from the prior year primarily due to additional expenses incurred in preparation of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and incremental sales and marketing expenses.

     Interest Expense, net. Interest expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower average loan balances as a result of reduced inventory levels.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, we recorded a tax provision of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily associated with our subsidiary Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European operations. We did not record an income tax benefit associated with our consolidated net loss in our U.S. operations. A valuation allowance has been provided for our net deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards. We did not record an income tax benefit for our European pre-tax losses in the current or prior period. Due to the consolidation of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries, in the future we anticipate that we will continue to record an income tax provision associated with Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European results of operations.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and primarily resulted from a $5.4 million decrease in inventory and a $1.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by cash used to fund operating losses and increases in accounts receivable of $3.9 million and prepaid expenses, other receivables and other current assets of $0.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and primarily resulted from a $7.2 million decrease in inventory, partially offset by cash used to fund operating losses and an increase in accounts receivable of $2.0 million and decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.9 million.

Table of Contents

     Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $0.9 million, primarily representing capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing capital expenditures. Capital expenditures have historically consisted primarily of additions to upgrade our management information systems, including our Internet-based customer tools, other methods of e-commerce and general expansion of and upgrades to our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We expect to incur capital expenditures in order to support new contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. We anticipate that our total investment in upgrades and additions to facilities and information technology services for the upcoming twelve months will be approximately $2 to $4 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. A portion of these expenditures may be financed through operating or capital leases. We may elect to modify or defer a portion of such anticipated investments in the event that we do not achieve the revenue necessary to support such investments.

     Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, primarily representing $0.2 million of payments on our capital lease obligations and $1.3 million of payments on debt. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, primarily representing $0.3 million of payments on our capital lease obligations and $2.8 million of payments on debt.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2004, our working capital decreased to $19.3 million from $21.4 million at December 31, 2003 primarily as a result of funding operating losses and capital expenditures. To obtain additional financing in the future, in addition to our current cash position, we plan to evaluate various financing alternatives including utilizing capital or operating leases, borrowing under our own credit facility, or transferring a portion of our subordinated loan balance due from Supplies Distributors, to third-parties. In conjunction with certain of these alternatives, we may be required to provide certain letters of credit to secure these arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining any additional financing or the terms thereof. We currently believe that our cash position, financing available under our credit facilities and funds generated from operations (including our anticipated revenue growth and/or cost reductions to offset lower than anticipated revenue growth) will satisfy our presently known operating cash needs, our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, our lease obligations, and additional subordinated loans to our subsidiary Supplies Distributors, Inc. (“Supplies Distributors”), if necessary, for at least the next twelve months.

     Supplies Distributors has a short-term credit facility with IBM Credit LLC (“IBM Credit”) and its subsidiaries Supplies Distributors S.A. (“SDSA”) and Business Supplies Distributors Europe B.V., European corporations, have a short-term credit facility with IBM Belgium Financial Services S.A. (“IBM Belgium”) to finance their distribution of IBM products. We have provided a collateralized guaranty to secure the repayment of these credit facilities. As of March 31, 2004, the asset-based credit facilities provided financing for up to $27.5 million and up to 12.5 million Euros (approximately $15.2 million) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. These agreements expire in March 2005. The agreement with IBM Credit provides for the reduction of the maximum credit limit from $27.5 million to $22.5 million on July 1, 2004 unless IBM Credit LLC sells a participation interest in the facility, in which event the maximum credit limit will be reduced to $22.5 million plus the amount of any participation interest, but in no event more than $27.5 million through its expiration on March 29, 2005.

     Supplies Distributors also has a loan and security agreement with Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest) (“Congress”) to provide financing for up to $25 million of eligible accounts receivables in the United States and Canada. The Congress facility expires on the earlier of March 29, 2007 or the date on which the parties to the IBM master distributor agreement shall no longer operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IBM no longer supplies products pursuant to such agreement.

     SDSA has a factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. (“Fortis”) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million Euros (approximately $9.1 million) of eligible accounts receivables through March 29, 2005. Borrowings under this agreement can be either cash advances or straight loans, as defined.

     These credit facilities contain cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of our subsidiaries Business Supplies Distributors Holdings, LLC (Holdings”), Supplies Distributors and SDSA to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related

parties, provide guarantees, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure and pay dividends, as well as financial covenants, such as cash flow from operations, annualized revenue to working capital, net profit after tax to revenue, minimum net worth and total liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, and are secured by all of the assets of Supplies Distributors, as well as collateralized guaranties of Holdings and PFSweb. Additionally, we are required to maintain a subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors of no less than $7.0 million, maintain restricted cash of less than $5.0 million, are restricted with regard to transactions with related parties, indebtedness and changes to capital stock ownership structure and a minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $19.0 million. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors or SDSA under these facilities if Supplies Distributors or SDSA is unable to do so. We have also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors and SDSA to IBM, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM credit.

     Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. and Priority Fulfillment Services of Canada, Inc., (both wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFSweb and collectively the “Borrowers”) have a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”). The Agreement provides for up to $5.0 million of eligible accounts receivable financing in the U.S. and Canada through March 28, 2005, and up to $2.5 million of eligible equipment purchases through September 10, 2006. We entered this Agreement to supplement our existing cash position, and provide funding for our future operations, including our targeted growth. The Agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the Borrowers’ ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net worth, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The Agreement also limits our ability to increase the subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors without the lender’s approval. The Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb.

     The following is a schedule of our total contractual cash and other obligations, which is comprised of operating leases, debt and capital leases, including interest (in millions):

     In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of March 31, 2004, we had $1.1 million of cash restricted as collateral for a letter of credit. The letter of credit automatically decreases at certain dates through its expiration in March 2007. In addition, as described above, we have provided collateralized guarantees to secure the repayment of certain Supplies Distributors’ credit facilities. Many of the debt facilities include both financial and non-financial covenants, and also include cross default provisions applicable to other agreements. To the extent we fail to comply with our debt covenants, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and our required level of shareholders’ equity, and the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, we would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. Any requirement to accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we believe that we will maintain such compliance throughout calendar year 2004. We do not have any other material financial commitments.

     We currently believe that we are still operating with and incurring costs applicable to excess physical capacity in our North American and European operations. We believe that based on our current cost structure, as we add revenue, we will be able to cover our reduced infrastructure costs and reach profitability. We currently estimate that the net service fee revenue needed to leverage our existing infrastructure and cost structure and reach profitability is approximately between $12 million to $13 million per quarter. No assurance can be given that we can achieve such operating levels, or that, if achieved, we

will be profitable in any particular fiscal period. We will reevaluate the carrying value of certain of the excess long-lived warehouse operation and information technology infrastructure assets for impairment in 2004, in conjunction with our future operating plans, and determine if additional asset impairment costs should be recognized.

     In the future, we may attempt to acquire other businesses or seek an equity or strategic partner to generate capital or expand our services or capabilities in connection with our efforts to grow our business. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties and may require additional financing. Therefore, we can give no assurance with respect to whether we will be successful in identifying businesses to acquire or an equity or strategic partner, whether we or they will be able to obtain financing to complete a transaction, or whether we or they will be successful in operating the acquired business.

Seasonality

     The seasonality of our business is dependent upon the seasonality of our clients’ business and their sale of their products. Accordingly, our management must rely upon the projections of our clients in assessing quarterly variability. We believe that with our current client mix, our service fee business activity will be at its lowest in the quarter ended March 31 and at its highest in the quarter ended June 30. We expect our Supplies Distributors business to be seasonally strong in the December quarter of each year.

     We believe that results of operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year.

Inflation

     Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

     A description of critical accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. For other significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

     We are exposed to various market risks including interest rates on its financial instruments and foreign exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

     Our interest rate risk is limited to our outstanding balances on our inventory and working capital financing agreements, loan and security agreements and factoring agreement for the financing of inventory, accounts receivable and certain other receivables, which amounted to $55.1 million at March 31, 2004. A 100 basis point movement in interest rates would result in approximately $0.2 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense based on the outstanding balance of these agreements at March 31, 2004.

Foreign Exchange Risk

     Currently, our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. In the future, our foreign currency exchange risk may also include other currencies applicable to certain of our international operations. We may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. To hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations, we may enter into forward currency exchange contracts. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or for speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

     We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
