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 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 September 30, 2004, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 Companys financial position as of September 30, 2004, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and its results of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Results of the Companys 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.
6
PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 the Companys senior debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased or decreased without prior approval of the Companys lenders. In March 2004, the Companys lenders agreed to reduce the required minimum Subordinated Note balance from $8.0 million to $7.0 million. As of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note, which is eliminated upon the consolidation of Holdings financial position, was $7.0 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 Companys 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 Companys business, operating results and financial condition.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
The Companys product revenue was primarily generated by sales of product purchased under master distributor agreements with one supplier. Sales to one customer accounted for approximately 12%, and sales to another customer accounted for approximately 10% of the Companys total product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Service fee revenue from two clients individually accounted for approximately 44% and 16% of net service fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. On a consolidated basis, one client accounted for approximately 16% of the Companys total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. As of September 30, 2004, one customer/client accounted for approximately 19% 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 collateralized 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 Companys 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 PFSwebs 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.

PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 quarterly basis. 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 $2.4 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 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 Companys property held under capital leases amounted to approximately $3.2 million and $3.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $5.1 million and $4.6 million, at September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were equal to the market price of the Companys 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 Companys net income (loss) and income (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 Companys net income (loss) for those periods may not be representative of the pro forma effect for future periods due to the impact of vesting and potential future awards.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to the Companys common stock were determined based on dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, all outstanding options to purchase common shares were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the weighted diluted average share computation. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the effect of dilutive stock options increased the number of weighted average shares outstanding by 1,685,072 for computing diluted net income per share. As of September 30, 2004 and 2003 there were 5,036,251 and 4,668,292 options outstanding, respectively.

Debt Covenants
To the extent the Company fails to comply with its covenants, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and required level of consolidated shareholders equity ($19.0 million), and the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, the Company would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities would have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. At September 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
PFSweb has also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors and SDSA to IBM, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM credit.
Master Lease Agreements

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In August 2004, the Company entered into a three-year contract relationship with a new client. To fulfill its obligations under this relationship, the Company entered into a three-year operating lease arrangement for a new distribution facility in Southaven, MS, near its existing distribution complex in Memphis, TN.
The Company receives municipal tax abatements in certain locations. During 2004 the Company received notice from a municipality that it did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements. The Company has disputed the notice and has had preliminary discussions with the municipality. If the dispute is not resolved favorably, the Company could be assessed additional taxes for calendar year 2004. The Company has not accrued for the additional taxes, which through September 30, 2004 could be $0.3 million to $0.4 million, as it does not believe that it is probable that an additional assessment will be incurred.

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, 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 primarily 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. In recent months we have also seen an increase in the activity with new service contract relationships. While the lead times to close new deals continue to be unpredictable, our recent closure rate has been more successful than in the past. Due to the time period estimated to fully implement recent new client contracts, we expect to realize the majority of the service fee revenue and gross margin benefit of these recent contracts in calendar year 2005. However, we do expect to recognize some revenue contributions as well as incremental implementation costs for certain of these recent contracts during the quarter ending December 31, 2004.
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.
15
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 September 30, 2004 and 2003
Product Revenue. Product revenue was $61.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $60.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.1%. The increase in product revenue resulted primarily from the favorable impact of exchange rates on
16
our European and Canadian operations. Product revenue was $195.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $183.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $12.2 million, or 6.7%. The increase in product revenue resulted primarily from the favorable impact of exchange rates on our European and Canadian operations, increased sales volumes of certain existing products and the addition of certain new products.
Net Service Fee Revenue. Net service fee revenue was $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $3.4 million or 41.1%. Net service fee revenue for both the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 included increased service fees generated from incremental projects with certain client relationships. Net service fee revenue was $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $25.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $4.2 million or 16.3%. The change in net service fee revenue is shown below ($ millions):

Net service fee revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 included approximately $0.02 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of fees earned from clients contracts terminated during 2004.
Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue was $58.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $57.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $1.1 million or 2.0%. Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 94.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 94.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2003. The resulting gross profit margin was 5.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 5.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Cost of product revenue was $184.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $173.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $11.3 million or 6.5%. Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 94.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 94.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The resulting gross profit margin was 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Cost of product revenue increased during each period primarily as the result of the impact of exchange rates on our European and Canadian operations, increased volumes of certain existing products and the addition of certain new products and additional reserves for inventory impairment.
Cost of Net Service Fee Revenue. Cost of net service fee revenue was $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $5.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $1.8 million or 32.1%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $4.0 million or 34.1% of net service fee revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $2.4 million, or 29.6% of net service fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Our gross profit as a percent of net service fees increased in the current period primarily due to incremental projects with certain client relationships offset by incremental costs on new contracts. Cost of net service fee revenue was $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $17.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $2.3 million or 13.7%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $10.2 million or 34.1% of net service fee revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $8.3 million, or 32.6% of net service fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Our gross profit as a percent of net service fees increased primarily due to incremental projects with certain client relationships offset by incremental costs on new contracts. As we add new service fee revenue in the future, we currently intend to target the underlying contracts to earn an
17
average gross profit percentage of 30-40%, but we have and may continue to accept lower gross margin percentages on certain contracts depending on contract scope and other factors.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, or 8.8% of total net revenues, as compared to $6.3 million, or 9.3% of total net revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2003. SG&A expenses were $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, or 9.1% of total net revenues, as compared to $19.0 million, or 9.1% of total net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased from the prior year period primarily due to additional expenses incurred in preparation of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and incremental sales and marketing expenses. SG&A expenses declined from the quarter ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to the timing of certain expenditures, including professional fees and sales and marketing costs. Due to the timing of certain expenditures, we expect an increase in SG&A expenses in the quarter ending December 31, 2004 from the amount incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Net interest expense was $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in net interest expense is primarily due to lower average loan balances as a result of reduced inventory levels.
Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we recorded a tax provision of $0.1 million primarily associated with our subsidiary Supplies Distributors Canadian and European operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we recorded a tax provision of $0.5 million and $0.3 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 as of September 30, 2004, which are primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards. We did not record an income tax benefit for our PFSweb European pre-tax losses in the current or prior periods. Due to the consolidation of Supplies Distributors, 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 $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and primarily resulted from a $9.8 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred income partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $5.8 million and prepaid expenses, other receivables and other current assets of $2.5 million. The increase in accounts payable was due to the timing of invoice processing by one of our master distribution vendors and an increase in certain liabilities due to clients for unremitted funds collected on their behalf and reimbursable expense deposits. The increase in accounts receivable was partially due to increased service fee billings for certain client relationships and increased receivables from our Supplies Distributors business segment. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and primarily resulted from a $8.5 million decrease in inventory and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.9 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $1.1 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $3.2 million, primarily representing capital expenditures. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $0.7 million, resulting from a decrease in restricted cash offset by 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. Based on our current client business activity, we anticipate that our total investment in upgrades and additions to facilities and information technology services for the upcoming twelve months will be approximately $7 to $10 million, including expenditures to equip our new leased facility in Southaven, MS as discussed below. Future client contracts may require additional capital expenditures to support the
18
services to such 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 $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily representing $0.8 million of payments on our capital lease obligations and $2.5 million of payments on debt partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in restricted cash. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily representing $0.7 million of payments on our capital lease obligations and $11.4 million of payments on debt, offset by $0.6 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase and stock option programs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our working capital decreased to $19.8 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 credit facilities, expanding our current credit facilities, entering into new debt agreements or transferring a portion of our subordinated loan balance due from our subsidiary Supplies Distributors, Inc. (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, 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 September 30, 2004, the asset-based credit facilities provided financing for up to $27.5 million and up to 12.5 million Euros (approximately $15.4 million) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. These agreements expire in March 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 $9.2 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
19
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 lenders approval. The Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb.
In August 2004, we entered into a three-year contract relationship with a new client. To fulfill our obligations under this relationship, we entered into a three-year operating lease arrangement for a new distribution facility in Southaven, MS, near our existing distribution complex in Memphis, TN. Additionally, we expect to incur capital expenditures of $4 million to $5 million to equip the new facility. We intend to finance these capital expenditures through leases or debt financing, however we can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing.
The following is a schedule of our total contractual cash and other obligations as of September 30, 2004, which is comprised of operating leases, debt and capital leases, including interest (in millions):

In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of September 30, 2004, we had $0.9 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 September 30, 2004, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we believe that we will maintain such compliance throughout calendar year 2004. Other than those noted herein, we do not have any other material financial commitments, although future client contracts may require capital expenditures and lease commitments to support the services provided to such clients.
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 sales 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 PFSweb service fee business activity will be at it 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.

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 $54.3 million at September 30, 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 September 30, 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. From time to time, we 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, from time to time we may enter into forward currency exchange contracts.
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.
