PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Supplies Distributors, Inc., are collectively referred to as the Company; Supplies Distributors refers to Supplies Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries; and PFSweb refers to PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries excluding Supplies Distributors.
PFSweb Overview
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, facilities and operations management, kitting and assembly services, and international fulfillment and distribution services.
Supplies Distributors Overview
Supplies Distributors acts as a master distributor of various products, primarily International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) product, under a master distributor agreement with IBM. Supplies Distributors has outsourced to PFSweb the transaction management and fulfillment service functions of its distribution business and has outsourced to a third party the sales and marketing functions. Supplies Distributors sells its products in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005, and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, 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 March 31, 2005, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and its results of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. 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.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The recognition and allocation of certain operating expenses in these consolidated financial statements also
6
PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
require 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.
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 four customers accounted individually each for greater than 10%, and in the aggregate accounted for approximately 48%, of the Companys total product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Service fee revenue from three clients individually accounted for approximately 28%, 13% and 12% service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005. On a consolidated basis, one customer/client accounted for approximately 10% of the Companys total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2005, two customers each individually accounted for approximately 10% of accounts receivable.
In conjunction with Supplies Distributors financings, PFSweb has provided certain collateralized guarantees on behalf of Supplies Distributors. Supplies Distributors ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees. Additionally, since Supplies Distributors has limited personnel and physical resources, its 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 master distributor agreements, certain of Supplies Distributors working capital financing agreements, product sales to IBM business units, a service fee relationship, 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.
Inventories
Inventories (all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under certain master distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has 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 $2.0 million and $2.5 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
In the event PFSweb, Supplies Distributors and IBM terminate the master distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors 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 vendors. The corresponding payable for inventories in-transit is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Property and Equipment
The Companys property held under capital leases amounted to approximately $2.7 million and $3.0
7

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $5.9 million and $5.4 million, at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation plans 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. 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-based employee compensation plans based on their fair value at the date of the grant. The pro forma effect of stock-based employee compensation plans 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.

During April 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 700,000 options to purchase shares of common stock to officers and employees of the Company.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123) and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, which provides interpretive guidance related to SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date of SFAS 123R to the beginning of the annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS 123R to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements. However, it is expected to have a negative effect on consolidated net income.

4. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, outstanding options of 4,821,376 and 5,051,554, respectively, to purchase common shares were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the weighted diluted average share computation.

To the extent the Company fails to comply with its covenants applicable to its debt or vendor financing obligations, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and required level of stockholders equity ($20.0 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.
PFSweb has also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors to IBM, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM credit.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 plans to dispute the notice. If the dispute is not resolved favorably, the Company could be assessed additional taxes for calendar years 2004 and 2005. The Company has not accrued for the additional taxes, which through March 31, 2005 could be $0.4 million to $0.5 million for 2004 and $0.1 million for 2005, as it does not believe that it is probable that an additional assessment will be incurred.
On May 9, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Collin County, Texas, by J. Gregg Pritchard, as Trustee of the D.I.C. Creditors Trust, naming the former directors of Daisytek International Corporation and the Company as defendants. Daisytek filed for bankruptcy in May 2003 and the Trust was created pursuant to Daisyteks Plan of Liquidation. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the spin-off of the Company from Daisytek in December 1999 was a fraudulent conveyance and that Daisytek was damaged thereby in the amount of at least $38 million. The Company believes the claim has no merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In April 2005, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease arrangement for a new distribution facility in Southaven, MS, near its existing facility in Southaven, MS.

ITEM 2. Managements 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, 2004, 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 dependence upon our agreements with our major clients; | |||
| 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; | |||
| the impact of new accounting standards and rules regarding revenue recognition, stock options and other matters; | |||
| changes in accounting rules or the interpretations of those rules; | |||
| 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, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, 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 warehouses that we lease or manage and include real-time inventory management and customized picking, packing and shipping of our clients customer orders. We currently offer the ability to 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, aviation, 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 cost-plus basis, 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. Our billings for reimbursements of these and other out-of-pocket expenses include travel, shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges are included in pass-through 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 and recognize the corresponding product revenue. As a result, upon the sale of inventory, we own the accounts receivable. Freight costs billed to customers are reflected as components of product revenue. This business segment requires significant working capital requirements, for which we have senior credit facilities to provide for more than $80 million of available financing.
Growth is a key element to achieving our future goals, including maintaining 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 years. During 2004, we were successful in winning new contracts with new and existing clients. We currently believe these new contracts, once fully operational, will generate annual service fee revenue of more than $20 million. We expect to invoice more than 80% of the estimated annual run-rate revenue of these new contracts during 2005. Our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 include approximately $4.6 million of new revenue including certain incremental projects.
Although our success with winning new contracts has recently improved, we continue to monitor and control our costs to focus on profitability. While we expect our new service fee contracts to yield increased gross profit, we expect this profit to be somewhat offset by incremental investments to implement new contracts, investments in infrastructure and sales and marketing to support our targeted growth and increased public company professional fees.
Our expenses comprise primarily four categories: 1) cost of product revenue, 2) cost of service fee revenue, 3) cost of pass-through revenue and 4) selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
15
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 Supplies Distributors or its 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.
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 pass-through revenue the related reimbursable costs for pass-through expenditures are reflected as cost of pass-through revenue.
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. In recent years we have added to our available cash and liquidity positions through various transactions. First we have 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, in 2003 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. In January 2005, we issued an additional 0.4 million shares of common stock to certain of these investors who exercised warrants issued in the private placement. The warrants exercised provided $1.3 million of additional proceeds. Thirdly, in 2004 we received proceeds of $5 million of taxable revenue bonds to finance capital additions to our new facility in Southaven, MS.

Results of Operations for the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
Product Revenue. Product revenue was $63.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $68.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 7.2%. The decrease in product revenue resulted primarily from the decreased sales volume of certain product in Europe, partially offset by the favorable impact of exchange rates in our European and Canadian operations.
Service Fee Revenue. Service fee revenue was $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $7.0 million or 97.6%. Service fee revenue for both the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 included increased service fees generated from incremental projects with certain client relationships. The change in service fee revenue is shown below ($ millions):

The increase in existing client service fees primarily resulted from product release schedule changes from our largest service fee client. We expect that these schedule changes will ultimately accelerate volumes into the first three months of the year that we previously processed during the second six months of the year.
Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue was $59.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $64.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $4.9 million or 7.6%. Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 93.7% during the three
17
months ended March 31, 2005 and 94.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The resulting gross profit margin was 6.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 6.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Cost of product revenue decreased primarily as the result of decreased sales volumes of certain products. The gross margin improved primarily as a result of a provision of $0.4 million for excess and obsolete inventory recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Cost of Service Fee Revenue. Cost of service fee revenue was $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $5.5 million or 105.0%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $3.3 million or 23.5% of service fee revenue, during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $1.9 million, or 26.3% of service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Our gross profit as a percent of service fees decreased in the current period primarily due to lower gross margins on certain new contracts, including certain start up costs, partially offset by higher margins earned on our largest service fee client as a result of reduced seasonality. 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 25-35%, 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 $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, or 8.5% of total net revenues, as compared to $7.1 million, or 9.2% of total net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2004. We currently expect to incur incremental costs during the quarters ending June 30 and September 30, 2005 associated with our relocation of certain operations from two of our Memphis, TN facilities to a new facility in Southaven, MS.
Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net interest expense is primarily due to lower average loan balances, partially offset by the impact of increased interest rates.
Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded a tax provision of $0.2 million 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 March 31, 2005, which are primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards. We did not record an income tax benefit for our PFSweb Canadian 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 used in operating activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and primarily resulted from a $2.0 million increase in inventories, a $2.1 million increase in prepaid expenses, other receivables and other current assets and a $2.0 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.3 million. The decrease in accounts payable was due to the timing of invoice processing by one of our master distribution vendors and a decrease in certain liabilities due to clients for unremitted funds collected on their behalf and reimbursable expense deposits. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to reduced revenue from our Supplies Distributors business segment partially offset by increased service fee billings for certain client relationships. Net cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and primarily resulted from a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $3.9 million and an increase in prepaid expenses, other receivables and other current assets of $0.7 million, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in inventory.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 totaled $0.9 million, representing capital expenditures, offset by a decrease in restricted cash. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $0.9 million, primarily representing capital expenditures. Capital expenditures have historically consisted primarily of additions to upgrade our management information systems, and general expansion of our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We
18
expect to incur capital expenditures to support new contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. Based on our current client business activity and our targeted growth plans, 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, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. To maintain our current operating cash position, a portion of these expenditures may be financed through debt, operating or capital leases or additional equity. We may elect to modify or defer a portion of such anticipated investments in the event that we do not obtain the financing or achieve the revenue necessary to support such investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, primarily representing $3.5 million of proceeds from debt, $1.7 million from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase and stock option programs and warrant exercises and a $0.9 million decrease in restricted cash. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, primarily representing proceeds from debt.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, our working capital increased to $23.4 million from $22.6 million at December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of the issuance of common stock due to the exercise of certain warrants. To obtain additional financing in the future, in addition to our current cash position, we plan to evaluate various financing alternatives including the sale of equity, utilizing capital or operating leases, borrowing under our credit facilities, expanding our current credit facilities, entering into new debt agreements or transferring to third parties a portion of our subordinated loan balance due from Supplies Distributors. 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.
The following is a schedule of our total contractual cash obligations as of March 31, 2005, which is comprised of operating leases, debt (including vendor financing) and capital leases, including interest (in millions):

In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of March 31, 2005, we had $0.8 million of cash restricted as collateral for letters of credit. The letters of credit expire at various dates through March 2007, the related debt and lease obligations termination dates. In addition, as described above, we have provided collateralized guarantees to secure the repayment of certain Supplies Distributors credit facilities. Many of our 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, 2005, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we believe that we will maintain such compliance throughout calendar year 2005. 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.
19
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.
Supplies Distributors has a short-term credit facility with IBM Credit LLC (IBM Credit) and its European subsidiaries 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, 2005, the asset-based credit facilities provided financing for up to $31.0 million and up to 12.5 million Euros (approximately $16.2 million) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. These agreements expire in March 2006.
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 no longer operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IBM no longer supplies products pursuant to such agreement.
Supplies Distributors European subsidiary has a factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. (Fortis) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million Euros (approximately $9.7 million) of eligible accounts receivables through March 29, 2006. 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 Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries 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 a collateralized guaranty of 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 $18.0 million. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors or its subsidiaries under these facilities if they are unable to do so. We have also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries to IBM, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM credit.
Our subsidiary, Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (PFS), has entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank (Comerica), which provides for up to $5.0 million of eligible accounts receivable financing through March 2007, and up to $2.5 million of eligible equipment purchases through June 2008 (of which $0.2 million was available at March, 2005). 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 our 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 of $20 million, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The agreement also limits our ability to increase the subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors to more than $8.0 million without the lenders approval. The agreement is secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb.
In 2003, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors in a private placement transaction pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 1.6 million shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share (the Common Stock), at $2.16 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $3.4 million. After deducting expenses, the net proceeds were approximately $3.2 million. In addition to the Common Stock, the investors received one-year warrants to purchase an aggregate 525,692 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share and four-year warrants to purchase an
20
aggregate of 395,486 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share. In January 2005, 394,865 of the one-year warrants were exercised prior to their expiration, generating net proceeds to us of $1.3 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the private placement and warrant exercises for general working capital purposes.
In 2004, to fulfill our obligations under certain new client relationships, 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 incurred additional capital expenditures during 2004, primarily to support the incremental business in this new distribution center. Upon completion, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2005, we expect the total capital expenditures to support this facility will total approximately $6 million. We financed a significant portion of these expenditures via a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the MBFC) pursuant to which the MBFC issued $5 million MBFC Taxable Variable Rate Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. Project) (the Bonds). The MBFC loaned us the proceeds of the Bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition and installation of equipment, machinery and related assets located in our new Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility. The primary source of repayment of the Bonds is a letter of credit (the Letter of Credit) in the initial face amount of $5.1 million issued by Comerica pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement between us and Comerica under which we are obligated to pay to Comerica all amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has an initial maturity date of December 2006 at which time, if not renewed or replaced, will result in a draw on the undrawn face amount thereof.
We receive municipal tax abatements in certain locations. During 2004 we received notice from a municipality that we did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements. We plan to dispute the notice. If the dispute is not resolved favorably, we could be assessed additional taxes for calendar years 2004 and 2005. We have not accrued for the additional taxes, which through March 31, 2005 could be $0.4 million to $0.5 million for 2004 and $0.1 million for 2005, as we do not believe that it is probable that an additional assessment will be incurred.
In April 2005, we entered into a five-year operating lease arrangement for a new distribution facility in Southaven, MS, near our existing facility in Southaven, MS.
On May 9, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Collin County, Texas, by J. Gregg Pritchard, as Trustee of the D.I.C. Creditors Trust, naming the former directors of Daisytek International Corporation and the Company as defendants. Daisytek filed for bankruptcy in May 2003 and the Trust was created pursuant to Daisyteks Plan of Liquidation. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the spin-off of the Company from Daisytek in December 1999 was a fraudulent conveyance and that Daisytek was damaged thereby in the amount of at least $38 million. We believe the claim has no merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.
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 and their current business volumes, our service fee business activity will be at it lowest in the quarter ended March 31. However due to product release schedule changes from certain of our clients, we believe this seasonal impact will not be as significant in 2005 as it has been in prior years. We anticipate that our product revenue will be highest during the quarter ended December 31.
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.

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, taxable revenue bonds, loan and security agreements and factoring agreement for the financing of inventory, accounts receivable and certain other receivables and certain equipment, which amounted to $65.2 million at March 31, 2005. A 100 basis point movement in interest rates would result in approximately $0.3 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense based on the outstanding balance of these agreements at March 31, 2005.
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 have and may continue, from time to time, to 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.
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.
