we, us and our refer to
Odimo Incorporated and our wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Ashford.com, Inc., Diamond.com, Inc., Worldofwatches.com, Inc,
D.I.A. Marketing, Inc., Millennium International Jewelers, Inc.
and 1-888-watches, LLC, and their predecessors.
Overview
Odimo is an online retailer of current season brand name watches
and luxury goods, high quality diamonds and fine jewelry. We
seek to create long-term relationships by offering a broad
selection of appealing merchandise. Our websites collectively
showcase over 2,000 watch styles from brands such as Tag Heuer,
Omega and Movado; a large assortment of luxury goods, such as
designer handbags and fashion accessories, fragrances and
sunglasses, from brands such as Prada, Gucci and Fendi; more
than 25,000 independently certified diamonds; and a wide range
of precious and semi-precious jewelry. We sell brand name goods
at discounts to suggested retail prices, and diamonds and fine
jewelry at competitive prices.
We provide our customers with informative websites that are
convenient and easy-to-navigate. Our websites feature
informational resources such as a Learning Center
and a Glossary of Watch Terms that provide detailed
product information. These efforts are supplemented with a call
center staffed by trained personnel who provide product support
as well as information on payment options and shipping
alternatives. We feature diamonds that are graded and certified
by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the worlds
preeminent diamond grading organization. We offer GIA
certificates online for customers to review before a purchase
decision is made. Customers can shop 24 hours a day, seven
days a week on our websites and can use interactive search
functions to find desired products quickly. Diamonds, watches
and fine jewelry may be returned up to 30 days (and all
other products we sell may be returned up to 15 days) from
ship date for exchange or a full refund of the purchase price
(exclusive of shipping and handling costs) provided the item is
unworn, has not been sized or altered and is returned with all
original packaging, security tags and documentation. We also
provide an in-house service center for our watches and fine
jewelry.
We operate the following three websites:
|
|
|
|
|
www.diamond.com features independently certified
diamonds, fine jewelry and brand name watches, and accounted for
approximately 39% and 39% of our net sales during the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. |
|
|
|
www.ashford.com features brand name luxury products,
including watches, fine jewelry, designer handbags and
accessories, home accents, fragrances, sunglasses and fine
writing instruments, and accounted for approximately 35% and 39%
of our net sales during the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2004, respectively. |
|
|
|
www.worldofwatches.com features a large selection of
brand name watches, and accounted for approximately 26% and 22%
of our net sales during the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2004, respectively. |
We commenced operations in 1998 by offering diamonds and a
limited selection of jewelry products through the website
www.diamonddepot.com. In early 2000, we began operating
two websites, www.diamond.com and
www.worldofwatches.com, through which we offered an
expanded product line that included a large selection of brand
name watches and a broader selection of diamonds and fine
jewelry. In December 2002, we purchased the domain name
www.ashford.com. In January 2003, we re-launched the
www.ashford.com website and began offering luxury goods
such as brand name handbags and other fashion accessories, fine
writing instruments, home accents, fragrances and sunglasses.
Since 2003, we have focused and intend to continue to focus our
marketing efforts primarily on the www.ashford.com and
www.diamond.com websites.
Industry Overview
|
|
|
Growth of the Internet and Online Commerce |
Internet usage and online commerce continue to grow worldwide.
According to U.S. eCommerce Overview: 2004 to 2010,
Forrester Research, Inc., online purchases by
U.S. consumers are expected to grow from approximately
$145 billion in 2004 to approximately $316 billion by
2010. This increase can be attributed to factors such as a
growing awareness of the convenience of online shopping, an
expanded range of products available online, improvements in
security and electronic payment technology and increased access
to broadband Internet connections which facilitate online
shopping.
In addition to the benefits available to consumers, online
commerce also offers a significant number of advantages to
retailers. Managing and maintaining an online retailing website
is generally less costly than operating multiple physical
storefronts. Online retailers can efficiently market to a large
and geographically diverse customer base while fulfilling sales
from a single centralized location. Online retailers can also
quickly react to changing consumer tastes and preferences by
efficiently adjusting their featured selections, editorial
content, shopping interfaces, pricing and visual presentations.
Online retailers can more easily compile demographic and
behavioral data about their customers that increase
opportunities for direct marketing and personalized services.
These benefits must be evaluated against a number of challenges
such as drawing visitors to websites and converting them to
customers; the inability for customers to physically inspect,
try on or use the high priced diamonds, jewelry and luxury goods
to determine the products authenticity; and concerns about
security and privacy.
|
|
|
The Luxury Goods Market Size |
We focus on the retail sale of jewelry and watches, a market
that the U.S. Department of Commerce, estimated at
approximately $54.0 billion in 2003. The Jewelers of
America 2003 Cost of Doing Business Survey estimated that
the diamond and diamond jewelry market represented approximately
47% of retail jewelry sales and according to MarketLooks, the
domestic watch and clock market represents $7.6 billion in
retail sales annually. We also feature luxury goods such as
designer handbags and fashion accessories, fragrances and
sunglasses. We believe this market, like the jewelry and watch
market, benefits from consumers growing aspiration for
brand name goods and fashion trends that encourage the ownership
of
2
multiple pieces of jewelry, watches and other luxury goods. A
small but growing part of our business is focused on home
accents and domestic furnishings, a market benefiting from
historically high levels of home ownership.
Forrester Research estimates that $2.0 billion of jewelry
and luxury goods were sold online in 2003, representing 1.75% of
total online purchases in 2003. In addition to competitive
prices, online retailers offer consumers convenience and
facilitate comparison-shopping. For example, according to
Feedback Research, for Mothers Day, over 50% of
U.S. consumers use the web to buy or research gifts, of
which 12% buy jewelry online. Forrester Research projects that
the online jewelry and luxury goods market will grow to
$7.0 billion in 2010, representing a 19.6% compound annual
growth rate from 2003 and that online purchases will represent
14% of the total purchases in 2010.
|
|
|
The Luxury Goods Market Distribution
Channels |
Brand name watches and luxury goods generally command a premium
based on brand prestige, as well as product style and quality.
To develop and maintain a brand, owners often invest significant
resources in the design, production, packaging and marketing of
their products. In addition, some brand owners seek to control
the distribution of their products. In many cases, only a
limited number of retailers, often in prime locations, are
authorized to sell a brand owners products. These
retailers purchase brand name goods either directly from the
brand owners or from their authorized distributors. In order to
acquire such goods, a retailer often commits to the brand
owners marketing and pricing guidelines and agrees to
purchase a brands full product line.
Retailers may also acquire authentic, brand name watches and
other luxury goods from sources outside of a brand owners
authorized distribution channels. These alternative channels
which are referred to as the parallel market, can develop as a
result of differences in the price or supply of products in
different parts of the world. In these circumstances, products
originally intended by a brand owner to be sold in a foreign
country are imported into the United States and resold in the
parallel market. Parallel markets may also develop when brand
owners fail to prohibit their authorized distributors in the
United States from selling to unauthorized retailers. Parallel
markets offer a number of advantages, including lower product
costs and greater flexibility in pricing below suggested retail
prices. Parallel market goods, however, may be difficult to
acquire, as relationships with suppliers are usually informal
and not easy to establish and there are legal, legislative,
regulatory and customs risks associated with such goods, which
are outlined in Risk Factors below. In addition,
purchasers on the parallel market must develop procedures to
ensure they do not infringe on the rights of brand owners or
inadvertently purchase goods that are counterfeit or stolen.
|
|
|
The Luxury Goods Market Diamonds and Fine
Jewelry |
The diamond and fine jewelry supply chain is complex and
involves multiple intermediaries, including diamond miners,
rough diamond dealers, diamond cutters, diamond wholesalers,
jewelry manufacturers, jewelry wholesalers and jewelry
retailers. Based on the experience and knowledge of our
management, personnel and stockholders, we believe a majority of
diamond and fine jewelry retailers utilize the following supply
chain:
A small number of diamond mining companies dominate worldwide
production. De Beers S.A., the worlds largest diamond
mining company, estimates that it supplies approximately
two-thirds of the worlds diamonds by value. De Beers S.A.
and other mining companies, generally sell uncut, rough diamond
stones to a limited network of rough diamond dealers with whom
they maintain relationships. These dealers either cut the rough
stones themselves to produce diamonds or sell them to diamond
cutters. Once cut, the diamonds are typically sold to
wholesalers and jewelry manufacturers.
3
After passing through one or more wholesalers or distributors,
diamonds and fine jewelry are sold to consumers through a
variety of jewelry retailers. The United States diamond and
jewelry retail market consists primarily of small, independent
stores, regional competitors and a limited number of national
retail chains, such as Tiffany & Co., Zales and Signet
PLCs Kay Jewelers. According to 1997 United States Census
Bureau statistics, there were over 28,000 jewelry stores in the
United States and 95% of all retailers operated a single store.
As a result of the multiple intermediaries required to support
this fragmented group of retailers, significant costs are
incurred and passed on to the end consumer.
Independently prepared diamond certificates have become
increasingly relied upon by buyers as a means of assessing
diamond quality. These certificates describe a diamonds
characteristics against highly standardized criteria, such as
the four Cs (cut, clarity, color and carat weight), as
well as imperfections, polish and symmetry. While there are
several different, independent organizations that provide
diamond grading certifications, the Gemological Institute of
America (GIA), a non-profit organization, is widely-recognized
as a leader in diamond grading, gem identification and research.
Challenges Facing Traditional Retailers
We believe that store-based retailers of brand name watches,
luxury goods, high quality diamonds and fine jewelry face a
number of challenges in providing a satisfactory shopping
experience:
|
|
|
|
|
Limited Product Selection. Shelf space limitations and
inventory carrying costs restrict the variety of goods carried
by any single store. Consumers often find it challenging to
locate a desired product. |
|
|
|
High Retail Prices. The high cost structure of operating
stores, a result of factors such as rent, labor, taxes, and
other store operating costs, often require traditional retailers
to sell goods at a significant markup to wholesale prices. |
|
|
|
Less Certainty Regarding Quality and Value. Based on
managements in-store and online research, we have
determined that many traditional jewelers do not provide
independent certification for a majority of their diamonds from
an independent, non-profit agency, such as the GIA. As a result,
their customers may be less certain of the quality and,
therefore, the fairness of prices for diamonds and fine jewelry. |
|
|
|
Inability to Easily Compare Prices. Shopping in
traditional retail locations is often inconvenient due to
limited business hours and the time involved in traveling to
multiple locations to compare prices. |
|
|
|
Uncomfortable Environment. Commission-based sales
personnel can make customers of traditional retailers feel
pressured to make a purchase decision. |
Our Value Proposition
We believe that consumers will increasingly use the Internet to
purchase brand name watches, luxury goods, high quality diamonds
and fine jewelry given the variety of products, competitive
prices, wealth of product information and convenience available
online. Through our three websites, we believe that we offer
value to a broad range of customers by providing:
Broad Product Selection. We are able to provide a broad
selection of luxury goods, diamonds and jewelry because we are
not subject to physical shelf space constraints or the cost of
carrying physical inventory at multiple store locations.
Current Season Merchandise. Substantially all of the
products we offer are current season, in contrast to many other
online retailers that primarily offer closeout merchandise. We
generate sales and promote customer loyalty by continually
evaluating fashion trends and updating our product offerings.
Attractive Prices. We offer substantially all of our
brand name watches and other luxury goods below traditional
retail prices since we buy goods in the parallel market on
favorable terms and we believe we are not restricted by vendor
price guidelines. Our relationship with The Steinmetz Diamond
Group allows us
4
to purchase diamonds at cash market prices. Cash market prices
are typically the lowest available wholesale price where the
buyer pays the seller cash at the time of sale, and reflect a
discount of 5.0% to 7.5% from prices for diamonds purchased on a
credit basis. These prices are generally available only to
Steinmetzs largest customers. Our relationship with
Steinmetz also enables us to avoid markups imposed by layers of
intermediaries ordinarily found in the supply chain. As a
result, we are able to sell diamonds at competitive prices.
Product Quality Assurance. We promote customer confidence
by featuring brand name watches and luxury goods. We offer
warranties on the watches we sell that are in some cases of a
longer duration than manufacturer warranties and feature
independent grading certificates from the GIA on all diamonds
that we sell that enable our customers to objectively compare
the quality and value of our diamonds.
Positive Shopping Experience. Our easy-to-navigate
websites display our products 24 hours a day, seven days a
week and allow our customers to complete their purchases in a
timely manner. Our websites provide our customers with clear and
detailed information about our products. For example, our
websites provide customers the ability to select a diamond by
carat, clarity, color, cut or price, and to view it in a variety
of mountings and settings through our Design Your
Ring feature. We display our most popular rings in our
recently launched Engagement Ring Showcase. In
addition, our sales support staff is trained to answer a broad
range of questions regarding product styles, features and
technical specifications, as well as to provide product
recommendations. Our www.diamond.com website was recently
ranked second (out of over 140 online retailers) in terms of
customer experience in the 2004 Online Retail Study for
Customer Focused Excellence conducted by Future Now Inc.
Prompt Fulfillment and Responsive Customer Service. We
maintain an inventory of our most popular styles and sizes of
diamonds and almost all of our branded luxury goods, enabling us
to ensure prompt order fulfillment and delivery to our
customers. Our customer service representatives are available
during extended business hours and are trained to track and
document customer inquiries and feedback, allowing us to improve
the overall quality of our products and service. We have a 15-
or 30-day return policy on most of our products, and offer free
shipping and gift-wrapping. We also offer to customers, through
a program managed by a third party, a deferred payment option
for purchases over $250 with customers having the option to make
payments within 90 days with no financing charge. Under
this program, which is non-recourse to us, the third party
assesses the credit history and credit worthiness of our
customers.
Our Growth Strategy
Our objective is to offer a broad selection of appealing
merchandise at competitive prices and to expand our customer
base and promote repeat purchases while maintaining an efficient
cost structure. Key components of this strategy include:
Attract New Customers. We intend to increase our customer
base by maintaining and expanding our relationships with
Internet portals and search engines such as MSN, Google, Yahoo/
Overture and AOL. We plan to increase our online advertising
expenditures with these companies and other online portals,
websites and search engines. We will continue to utilize website
promotions, affiliate programs and targeted email and
registration campaigns to convert visitors into customers. In
November 2004, we also entered into an agreement with Amazon.com
that enabled us to become a third party merchant on Amazon.com.
Create Lifetime Customers. We strive to create long-term
relationships with our customers. We believe that our broad
assortment of luxury goods encourages customers to return to our
websites to make repeat purchases. For example, a customer that
purchases an engagement ring from us may return to purchase
gifts for other occasions such as Valentines Day,
Mothers Day and Christmas. We seek to capitalize on these
customer relationships by utilizing new programs such as
wish lists and personalized e-mail campaigns.
5
Expand Diamond and Diamond Jewelry Sales. We intend to
increase our sales of diamonds and diamond jewelry. In March
2004, we entered into an agreement with The Steinmetz Diamond
Group through its affiliate SDG Marketing, Inc., which enables
us to purchase a broader selection of diamonds at favorable
prices. We also began to purchase additional diamond jewelry
from The Steinmetz Diamond Groups new manufacturing
facility in India in the latter part of 2004. We plan to
capitalize on our relationship with Steinmetz and other diamond
dealers by increasing our online marketing expenditures to
attract new customers for our diamonds and diamond jewelry.
Reduce Inventory Exposure. We intend to continue to
minimize the inventory risk associated with our diamond business
by sourcing our most popular styles from Steinmetz. Also, in a
manner similar to other online retailers, we offer diamonds
owned by third party suppliers that we purchase only after we
have received an order.
Pursue Operating Efficiencies. We will seek to improve
our operating efficiencies and increase our margins as we grow
our business. We continue to refine our online business model by
increasing the effectiveness of our marketing programs and by
leveraging our relatively fixed cost technology and fulfillment
infrastructure. We will also attempt to keep our shipping costs
and delivery times low while maintaining a broad selection of
available products.
Build the Ashford® Brand. For the Christmas
2004 holiday season, we launched a line of Ashford branded
watches assembled in Switzerland. Our strategy is to offer
watches that are lower in price but comparable in style and
quality to the other brand name watches that we sell. We believe
that the high brand awareness of the Ashford name and our
ability to outsource the manufacture of these watches will allow
us to generate attractive margins on these products.
Our Websites
Our websites offer the convenience and flexibility of being able
to shop for brand name watches and luxury goods, diamonds and
fine jewelry 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our
websites provide a secure, informative and enjoyable shopping
experience in an easy-to-use online format. Each website has an
interactive search capability that allows our customers to
search for products by different criteria, obtain product
information and recommendations and participate in promotions
and discounts.
www.diamond.com is an online retailer of independently
certified diamonds, precious and semi-precious jewelry and brand
name watches. Although engagement diamonds and settings have
historically been the websites primary focus,
www.diamond.com provides jewelry for all occasions. We
promote customer education regarding key aspects of buying
diamonds through a Learning Center and other
user-friendly interactive areas. On www.diamond.com,
customers can search for independently certified diamonds
using criteria such as carat, clarity, color and cut, and can
use the Design Your Ring feature to customize their
purchase. We recently launched our Engagement Ring
Showcase which illustrates some of our diamonds in a
variety of our most popular mountings and settings. During the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, net sales of
products offered on www.diamond.com comprised
approximately 39% and 39%, respectively, of our total net sales.
www.ashford.com provides a comprehensive online selection
of brand name luxury goods, including watches, jewelry, designer
handbags and accessories, home accents, fragrances, sunglasses
and fine writing instruments. Brands featured on our website
include Prada, Gucci, and Fendi. For the Christmas 2004 shopping
season, we launched a line of Ashford® branded watches
available exclusively on www.ashford.com. These watches
are consistent in style and quality with our other brand name
watches we sell, but at lower prices. Our Ashford branded
watches are assembled in Switzerland with Swiss movements and
are delivered to customers in attractive packaging emphasizing
the Ashford brand. We anticipate that sales of our Ashford
branded watches will generate higher margins than the other
watches
6
we offer on our websites. During the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, net sales of products offered
on www.ashford.com comprised approximately 35% and 39%
respectively, of our total net sales.
www.worldofwatches.com sells designer brand name watches
such as Tag Heuer, Omega and Movado. This website provides
detailed product information regarding automatic and quartz
movements, water and scratch resistance, shock proofing, strap
and case materials, warranties and maintenance. During the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, net sales of products
offered on www.worldofwatches.com comprised approximately
26% and 22%, respectively, of our total net sales.
Supplier Relationships
|
|
|
Brand Name Watches and Other Luxury Goods |
We acquire the majority of our brand name watches and luxury
goods through the parallel market, an alternative distribution
channel outside the control of brand owners. This market, which
is sometimes referred to as the grey market, can develop as a
result of brand owners attempts to build and control brand
image by authorizing a difference in the price or supply of a
product either between countries or different regions within the
United States. To enhance distribution of products, we believe
many brand owners do not implement procedures to limit the
ability of third parties to purchase and sell goods in the
parallel market. As a result, the parallel market comprises
numerous suppliers from across the world for many brands and
products. We believe that our parallel market purchases and
subsequent sales to consumers are in compliance with existing
legal and regulatory requirements.
Our access to the parallel markets enables us to acquire
genuine, current season merchandise instead of closeout
merchandise like some of our competitors. Through the parallel
market, we are able to purchase this merchandise at prices lower
than could be purchased through a brand owners authorized
distribution channels. Because we are not constrained by the
pricing guidelines that authorized retailers must follow, we
offer products below suggested retail prices while maintaining
attractive margins.
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, 78% and
77%, respectively, of the aggregate dollar value of our brand
name watches and luxury goods were purchased from suppliers in
the parallel market and the remainder was purchased directly
from brand owners and authorized distributors. Our suppliers in
the parallel market are located in the United States, Canada,
Europe and the Far East and are typically wholesalers who
acquire products either directly or indirectly from brand owners
or their authorized distributors. We have long standing
relationships and experience with our parallel market suppliers
developed through several years of watches and luxury goods
retailing. We have met many of our suppliers at trade shows and
referrals from other suppliers over the past ten years and our
buying team has maintained these relationships. We use a variety
of suppliers and do not source a material amount of the
aggregate dollar volume of our purchases from any individual
supplier. Our buying team seeks to continuously build and
strengthen our supplier relationships by maintaining brand
sensitivity and increasing our supplier sales volume. In
selecting inventory on the parallel markets, our buying team
identifies the type and style of products it wishes to acquire
based on past sales history and trends in the market. Our
suppliers on the parallel market are chosen based on their
ability to provide the necessary quantities of the desired
product as well as their terms and pricing for that product.
After our buying team chooses the supplier, we submit a written
purchase order for the merchandise. After delivery and
inspection of the purchased products, we pay for the products in
accordance with the terms of the purchase order. In certain
circumstances we are required to pay a portion or all of the
purchase price for goods prior to inspection.
|
|
|
Our Policies and Procedures |
Since we source most of our products from the parallel market,
we attempt to minimize our risk of purchasing stolen or
counterfeit goods by following strict product sourcing policies
and procedures. Our
7
product sourcing and quality control policies and procedures for
watches and other luxury goods include (i) purchasing
products only from suppliers with whom we have a pre-existing
relationship or to whom we have been referred;
(ii) performing background checks on new suppliers and
their officers through recognized search firms and other
vendors; and (iii) performing in-house product inspection
upon receipt of products. By purchasing products only from
suppliers with whom we have a pre-existing relationship and have
never had a material dispute, we believe we minimize our
exposure to stolen goods. Our background checks enable us to
obtain publicly available information on suppliers and their
principals including information related to (1) the
suppliers litigation history and court records,
(2) the other entities for which the suppliers
principals have served as officers and directors and
(3) liens on the suppliers property. In addition to
performing background checks on new suppliers, we solicit
information on the reliability of new suppliers from our
existing suppliers and other vendors.
Our in-house product inspection procedures include reviewing
source documentation evidencing the purchase of the merchandise
in bona fide transactions from brand owners, authorized
distributors of brand owners or retailers for all of our
products other than watches, ensuring that the merchandise and
the packaging bear the brand name, logo or criteria of
authenticity of the manufacturer as applicable by examining the
look and placement of factory markings and emblems inspecting
the workmanship (in the case of handbags) of fabrics, seams,
zippers, clasps, straps, and linings to ensure it is consistent
with the products reputation and that materials are
without blemish or flaw, and determining whether the merchandise
is damaged or has been tampered with.
In addition, by purchasing each type and style of luxury good
and watch on the parallel market in significant quantities, we
minimize the risk of purchasing stolen goods. Theft of these
types of products rarely occurs in such larger quantities and,
when it does, information on such theft typically is quickly
disseminated among purchasers of such goods on the parallel
markets. Other than purchasing products in significant
quantities and purchasing products only from suppliers with whom
we have a pre-existing relationship or to whom we have been
referred, we do not undertake additional inventory acquisition
procedures to ensure that the watches we purchase on the
parallel market are not stolen. When purchasing goods other than
watches, we also obtain source documentation from our suppliers
evidencing that the merchandise was purchased in bona fide
transactions from brand owners, authorized distributors of brand
owners or retailers.
For the Christmas 2004 shopping season, we launched a line of
Ashford branded watches that we have designed. We source these
watches through purchase orders with Elini Designs Corp. and
Pacific-Concepts, two U.S.-based suppliers, to provide these
watches. Under these purchase orders, we have ordered
approximately $600,000 worth of watches, with 20% of the
purchase price being in the form of a down payment and the
remainder being paid upon delivery of the watches. These
suppliers maintain relationships with Swiss-based firms that
assemble the watches, as well as with manufacturers of the watch
component parts. We have no direct arrangements and we have not
directly negotiated with these Swiss-based firms. Based on
information from our U.S.-based suppliers, we believe there is
sufficient manufacturing and assembly capacity to meet our
demands for these Ashford branded watches.

Diamonds and Fine Jewelry |
Our diamond sourcing model capitalizes on our close industry
relationships to avoid several layers of supply chain
intermediaries. We purchase and carry in inventory many of our
most popular styles and sizes of diamonds to ensure availability
and expedited delivery. We purchase many of our diamonds from
SDG Marketing Inc., an affiliate of The Steinmetz Diamond Group.
The Steinmetz Diamond Group, an international diamond dealer
with offices in Antwerp, Tel Aviv, Mumbai, Johannesburg, New
York and Chicago, includes several companies that purchase
diamonds directly from the Diamond Trading Company. The Diamond
Trading Company is the marketing arm of the De Beers Group, and
sells about two-thirds of the worlds annual supply of
rough diamonds by value. Its clients are known as
sightholders, and are carefully chosen for their
diamond and marketing expertise. For the 2004-2005
8
period, the Diamond Trading Company has announced that there are
only 84 sightholders (down from 120 sightholders in 2003-2004)
of which Steinmetz is currently one. Beny Steinmetz, Daniel
Steinmetz and Nir Livnat, all beneficial owners of our common
stock, are the beneficiaries of several trusts and foundations
which own several of the companies which comprise the Steinmetz
Diamond Group, including SDG Marketing, Inc., the entity we have
a supply agreement with. There is no assurance that Steinmetz
will continue to be a sightholder after 2005. Steinmetzs
relationship with the Diamond Trading Company provides Steinmetz
with direct access to a broad selection of diamonds. Our supply
arrangement with Steinmetz gives us access to this wide
selection at cash market prices. Cash market prices are
typically the lowest available wholesale price where the buyer
pays the seller cash at the time of sale, and reflect a discount
of 5.0% to 7.5% from prices for diamonds purchased on a credit
basis. Under our contract with Steinmetz, however, we can defer
payment on diamonds we purchase up to 180 days which
substantially reduces our working capital needs. In addition,
Steinmetz allows us to return unsold goods, which reduces our
inventory risk and carrying costs. In March 2004 (as amended in
June 2004), we entered into an agreement with Steinmetz (through
SDG Marketing), pursuant to which SDG Marketing is obligated to
provide us with a replenishable inventory of independently
certified diamonds with a value equal to a minimum of
$4.0 million, $5.0 million and $6.0 million for
each of the years ending November 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006,
respectively. In addition, we granted Steinmetz the right of
first refusal to provide us diamonds and fine jewelry based on
our projected purchase needs.
We also have an informal arrangement with Philippe Diamond Corp.
to purchase diamonds on favorable terms and conditions but this
arrangement does not include any inventory supply obligations.
During the year ended 2004, the diamonds that we acquired from
Philippe represented approximately
15 % of our net sales of diamonds.
We have not entered into a formal agreement with Philippe
because the amount of diamond inventory we have purchased from
Philippe has been historically low.
As demonstrated in the chart below, our diamond sourcing model
enables us to bypass multiple layers of intermediaries.
In addition to our diamond inventory, like other online
retailers, we have access to additional diamonds that we
purchase from third party suppliers only after we receive a
customer order. This allows us to offer a broader selection of
diamonds and diamond jewelry without incurring the carrying
costs and risks of holding them in our inventory. These third
party suppliers generally ship the diamond or diamond jewelry to
us in one or two days and we then deliver the products to our
customers through our normal fulfillment process.
We currently acquire our fine jewelry directly from
manufacturers on a worldwide basis. We identify manufacturers
with high value products by capitalizing on our
managements extensive experience in jewelry retailing. The
Steinmetz Diamond Group has established a manufacturing facility
in India that will produce an assortment of diamond jewelry. We
commenced purchasing high quality diamond jewelry on a favorable
basis from The Steinmetz Diamond Group in late 2004, when this
facility became fully operational.
Marketing
Our marketing strategy is designed to generate consumer traffic
by increasing awareness of our websites. We seek to acquire
customers efficiently, build upon our customer base and increase
repeat purchases. All three of our websites have experienced
growth in customers and visitors from 2003 to 2004, as evidenced
through data compiled by us through third party software,
information received from our portal partners and measurement
tools on our websites.
9
The profile of our customer base on each of our websites is
different. www.ashford.com appeals to the luxury goods
consumer and has a higher concentration of customers who are
women over the age of 35. www.diamond.com appeals to the
diamond and fine jewelry consumer and has a higher concentration
of customers who are men over the age of 30.
www.worldofwatches.com appeals to a younger customer base.
Our marketing and advertising efforts consist primarily of the
following initiatives:
|
|
|
|
|
Portal and Targeted Website Advertising. We utilize
banner advertisements and purchase selected keywords on search
engines and product data feeds on websites with high traffic
volumes. We currently maintain portal and advertising
relationships with, among others, MSN, Google, Yahoo/ Overture
and AOL. Search engines, portals and other advertisers are
compensated by us on a fixed fee (cost is based on the provision
of a specific set of marketing activities) or a
pay-for-performance basis (costs are strictly tied to some
measure, typically sales). We have also recently entered into a
one year agreement with Amazon.com to offer our products on
Amazon.coms marketplace. Under this agreement Amazon.com
receives a percentage of the revenue generated from the sale of
our products on its marketplace. This percentage is within the
range of commissions generally paid by merchants who offer
products on Amazon.coms marketplace. Amazon processes
orders and we are responsible for fulfillment, customer service
and merchandising. |
|
|
|
Affiliate Program. We attract customers by participating
in affiliate programs such as BeFree that extend the reach of
our websites and draw customers from a variety of other
websites. By joining our affiliate program, website publishers
earn volume-based commissions by directing customers to our
websites. Currently, we have over 5,000 affiliate websites
enrolled that actively promote our websites. Affiliates are
generally compensated on a pay-for-performance basis. |
|
|
|
Direct Marketing. We utilize an electronic direct
marketing program to encourage repeat purchases, customer
retention, prospect activation and referral business. This
program increased substantially in the latter part of 2004 due
to expanded functionality and a wider range of personalized
offers. We utilize permission-based e-mail marketing to visitors
who indicate a desire to continue to receive product
recommendations and promotional discounts. We also utilize
referral incentives, financing options, wish lists,
birthday/anniversary event marketing and other similar programs. |
Customer Service and Sales Support
An important element of our sales strategy is to provide a high
level of customer service and sales support. Our highly trained
sales support staff provide detailed product information and
guidance, which, together with the informative and educational
aspects of our websites, promote customer confidence in their
purchase decisions.
We have a customer service and sales support center staffed by,
depending on the time of year, approximately 30 to 100
representatives. This center utilizes automated email and phone
systems to route traffic to our customer service and sales
support representatives to provide personalized assistance. This
center operates seven days a week during extended business
hours. Each customer service representative completes a four to
six-week training program that covers best practices to provide
real time assistance in purchasing brand name watches, luxury
goods, diamonds and fine jewelry as well as payment alternatives
and shipping services. Our customer service representatives are
also trained to track and document customer inquiries and
feedback, allowing us to improve the overall quality of our
products and service. We contact customers to measure customer
satisfaction, and periodically utilize third parties to monitor
the performance of our customer service and sales support
representatives.
We have a 30-day return policy on all of our brand name watches,
diamonds and fine jewelry, and a 15-day return policy on all
other merchandise. Most of the brand name watches that we offer
do not include serial numbers, which invalidates the
manufacturers warranty. To address potential consumer
concerns, we offer our own warranty, which in many cases is of a
longer duration than the manufacturers
10
warranty. We also provide our watch customers with repair and
battery replacement services. For our diamond customers, we
provide independent certifications primarily from the
Gemological Institute of America. On our websites, we
prominently display all our warranties, guarantees and policies
relating to security, shipping, refunds, exchanges and special
orders.
Fulfillment Operations
Our goal is to fulfill orders timely, securely and accurately.
When an order is received and accepted, the merchandise is sent
to assembly for packaging. In the case of selected jewelry
orders, our on-site personnel perform setting and sizing. We
inspect and track each product at all stages of the receiving
and order fulfillment process. Customer orders are typically
delivered within one to three business days, depending on the
shipping method and the extent of customization required.
We ship nearly all products via nationally recognized carriers.
All shipments of products for which the cost of goods shipped is
over $150 are shipped at no cost to the customer and are fully
insured by a third party in case of loss or theft. We assume the
risk of loss or theft on shipments of products for which the
cost of goods shipped is less than $100.
Our fulfillment center in Sunrise, Florida has security controls
and restricted access and has been designed for the prompt
receipt, storage and shipment of our products.
Technology and Systems
We have established site management, customer interaction and
distribution services and systems to process customer orders and
payments. These services and systems use a combination of
proprietary and commercially available licensed technologies.
These applications are used to:
|
|
|
|
|
accept and validate customer orders; |
|
|
|
enable customer service representatives to engage in real-time,
online interaction with multiple customers simultaneously; |
|
|
|
organize, place and manage orders with suppliers; |
|
|
|
receive product and assign it to customer orders; |
|
|
|
manage product shipments to customers based on various ordering
criteria; and |
|
|
|
manage inventory for stock replenishment. |
Our systems are based on industry-standard architectures and
have been designed to reduce downtime in the event of outages or
catastrophic occurrences. We have implemented load balancing
systems for the day to day operations and redundant servers to
provide fault tolerant service. Our system hardware is located
at our facilities in Sunrise, Florida, which has redundant
communications lines and emergency power backup. We also have
redundant systems at a location in Boca Raton, Florida.
Seasonality
Our business has been highly seasonal, with peak sales occurring
in late November and December during the holiday shopping
season. The fourth quarter accounted for 39.4%, 43.8% and 41.2%
of our net sales in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In
anticipation of increased sales activity during the fourth
quarter, we incur significant additional expenses, including
customer support and jewelry assembly costs. In addition, we
make merchandising and inventory decisions for the holiday
season well in advance. We have also experienced relatively
higher net sales in February and May relating to
Valentines Day and Mothers Day. Due to the
seasonality of our sales, our quarterly results will fluctuate,
perhaps significantly.
11
Competition
We face competition from both traditional and online retailers
of luxury goods and jewelry with greater brand recognition and
resources, which may adversely affect our business. We currently
or potentially will compete with a variety of competitors,
including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
independent and chain stores that sell jewelry, watches or other
luxury goods, such as Tiffany & Co., Zales and Signet
PLCs Kay Jewelers; |
|
|
|
other online retailers that sell brand name watches and luxury
goods, diamonds and fine jewelry, such as Amazon.com and Blue
Nile; |
|
|
|
department stores; |
|
|
|
boutiques and websites operated by brand owners; |
|
|
|
mass retailers that sell jewelry, watches and other luxury goods; |
|
|
|
catalog and television shopping retailers; and |
|
|
|
online auction houses and closeout retailers. |
We believe that the following are the principal competitive
factors in our market:
|
|
|
|
|
product selection and availability; |
|
|
|
price; |
|
|
|
convenience; |
|
|
|
website recognition; |
|
|
|
site features and content; |
|
|
|
functionality and ease of use; |
|
|
|
order delivery performance; and |
|
|
|
customer service. |
The primary bases on which we compete with online and
traditional retailers in the market for brand name watches and
luxury products, diamonds and fine jewelry are price,
merchandise selection and customer service. We believe we offer
current season luxury products, brand name watches and diamonds
at prices that are competitive with or lower than many of our
online competitors. In addition, we offer a broader product
selection of current season luxury products, diamonds and
watches than many of our online competitors. We believe we
currently offer luxury products and watches at more attractive
prices than many of our traditional store-based competitors.
Also, due to extensive training of our customer service
personnel, we believe we offer more responsive and informed
customer service than many of our online and traditional
store-based competitors. However, many of our current and
potential competitors, particularly the traditional store-based
retailers and the brand owners of products we sell, have longer
operating histories, larger customer or user bases, greater
brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing
and other resources than we do. Many of these current and
potential competitors can devote substantially more resources to
website and systems development than we can. In addition,
larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire,
invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors.
Our competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on
more favorable terms, fulfill customer orders more efficiently
and adopt more aggressive pricing than we can. Traditional
store-based retailers also enable customers to see and feel
products in a manner that is not possible over the Internet.
Given our limited operating history, many of our competitors
have significantly greater experience selling luxury products.
Advances in technologies, such as price comparison programs that
select specific items from a variety of websites may increase
competition by directing customers to other online retailers.
12
Intellectual Property
We rely on various intellectual property laws and contractual
restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and
services. The contractual restrictions include confidentiality
and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, contractors,
vendors and strategic partners. Despite these precautions, it
may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain
and use our intellectual property without our authorization. In
addition, we pursue the registration of our trademarks and
service marks in the U.S. and internationally. However,
effective intellectual property protection may not be available
in every country in which our products and services are made
available online. We have registered the following domain names:
www.diamond.com, www.ashford.com, www.worldofwatches.com,
www.odimo.com, and www.diamonddepot.com. We have registered
trademarks for WorldofWatches.com, diamonddepot.com,
1-888-Watches and 1-888-Diamond. Our website designs, features
and images are subject to federal copyright protection. We are
also developing proprietary product lines that are and will be
protected by federal trademark and copyright protection.
There can be no assurance that the steps we take to protect our
proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will
not infringe or misappropriate our proprietary rights. Any such
infringement or misappropriation, should it occur, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, result of operations
and financial condition. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that our business activities will not infringe upon the
proprietary rights of others, or that other parties will not
assert infringement claims against us. For example, in August
2004, we settled for a nominal amount an action against us by
Prada S.A. seeking an injunction and unspecified damages
alleging that we sold counterfeit goods. We expect that
participants in our markets will be increasingly subject to
infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in
our industry segment grows. Any infringement claim, with or
without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter
into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing
agreements might not be available on terms acceptable to us or
at all. As a result, any claim of infringement against us could
have a material adverse effect upon our business.
Government Regulation
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local
regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses
generally and directly applicable to online commerce, as well as
the secondhand watch statutes enacted in several states, as
discussed below. However, as Internet use increases, it is
possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted
with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such
as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and
quality of products and services, taxation, advertising,
intellectual property rights and information security.
Furthermore, the growth of online commerce may prompt calls for
more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have
proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user
information gathered online or require online services to
establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has
also initiated action against at least one online service
regarding the manner in which personal information is collected
from users and provided to third parties. We do not currently
provide personal information regarding our users to third
parties. However, the adoption of additional consumer protection
laws could create uncertainty in web usage and reduce the demand
for our products and services.
New laws or regulations may be enacted with respect to the
Internet or existing laws may be applied or interpreted to apply
to the Internet, which may decrease the use of the Internet or
our websites or increase our costs of doing business. As use of
the Internet continues to evolve, we expect that there will be
an increasing number of laws and regulations pertaining to the
Internet in the United States and throughout the world. Because
our services are available over the Internet in multiple states
and foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim that we are
required to qualify to do business in that state or foreign
country. We are qualified to do business only in Florida. Our
failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where we are required to do
so could subject us to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper
our ability to
13
enforce contracts in these jurisdictions. The application of
laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not
currently apply to our business could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We acquire most of the brand name watches we sell in the
parallel market. As a result, many of the brand name watches we
sell have had their serial numbers removed
(decoded). We have reviewed the laws of each of the
50 states, and have identified 41 states (in which net
sales of decoded watches was approximately $6.0 and
$4.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2004, respectively) that have criminal statutes that
prohibit the sale or possession of certain products that have
been decoded. Among these 41 states, only California,
Georgia and South Dakota have statutes that specifically refer
to decoded watches. Certain state statutes have exceptions for
goods that are not stolen or if there is no intent to defraud,
deceive or misrepresent. However, other states have statutes
that do not contain these exceptions. We are not aware of any
case in any jurisdiction that has convicted anyone under these
statutes for the sale of decoded watches that were not stolen.
Based on our review of such statutes in these 41 states, we
have determined that it is unlikely that our sales of decoded
watches violate the laws in these states. This determination is
subject to uncertainty because there are few reported decisions
of courts interpreting these statutes, none of which involve the
sale of watches. We believe, however, that the intended purpose
of all of these statutes is to prevent the sale of stolen
merchandise. If a court were to determine that our sale of
decoded watches violates a state law, we could be subject to
claims for damages, fines or other criminal penalties and be
unable to continue to sell decoded watches in that state.
We have developed and implemented policies and procedures to
minimize the risk of acquiring stolen merchandise. To ensure
that the luxury goods and watches we purchase on the parallel
markets are not stolen, we only purchase products from suppliers
with whom we have a pre-existing relationship or to whom we have
been referred. We purchase decoded watches from either
authorized distributors or their customers, and in each case
these suppliers are permitted to sell watches to retailers,
including Odimo. Serial numbers are removed from the watchcase
of the decoded watches we sell but not from the watch movements.
However, because we acquire most of our watches through the
parallel market, there is a greater risk that we may
inadvertently acquire stolen merchandise than would be the case
if we acquired merchandise through brand owners authorized
distribution channels. If we acquire and resell decoded watches
that were stolen, there would be a greater risk of our sales
violating these state laws.
In addition to the statutes described above, seventeen states
(in which net sales of decoded watches was approximately
$4.6 million and $4.5 million during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively) have statutes
that regulate the sale of decoded watches. These laws categorize
decoded watches as grey market goods or
secondhand watches and impose specific disclosure
requirements. For example, laws in California and New York
prohibit anyone from offering grey market goods
without affixing to the product a label or tag disclosing, among
other things, that the item is secondhand and is not
covered by the manufacturers express written warranty,
even though the item has never been used. We have recently
implemented procedures, such as affixing a tag disclosing that
the item is secondhand, and designed our websites to
contain the requisite disclosure (i.e. no manufacturers
warranty) to comply with the laws in these states that regulate
the sale of decoded watches. However, if a court were to
determine that we failed to comply with such laws in a
particular state, we could be subject to claims for damages,
fines or other penalties or prohibited from selling decoded
watches in that state.
Employees
As of March 29, 2005, we had 124 full-time employees.
Of these employees, 29 were in fulfillment operations, 23 were
in technology and development, 12 were in marketing, five were
in merchandising, 34 were in customer service and 21 were
general or administrative employees. We utilize part-time and
temporary employees to respond to fluctuating seasonal demand
around peak holiday periods. Our
14
employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement
and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Available Information
We make available free of charge on or through our Internet
website our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports
on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and
all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably
practicable after such material is electronically filed with or
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our
corporate Internet address is www.odimo.com.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below, together with all other information included in
this report, including the consolidated financial statements and
the related notes herein, as well as in our other public
filings, before making any investment decision regarding our
stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In
that event, the market price of our stock could decline and you
could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
|
|
|
We have incurred operating losses since our inception. If
we do not achieve operating profitability, we may need
additional capital, and our stock price could suffer. |
We have incurred operating losses since our inception in 1998.
As of December 31, 2004, our accumulated deficit was
$68.9 million, including a net loss of approximately
$7.1 million and $12.5 million for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Our ability to
become profitable depends on our ability to generate and sustain
substantially higher net sales that exceed historical levels
while maintaining reasonable expense levels. Since our
inception, we have incurred significant operating expenses and
capital expenditures for technology, website development,
advertising, personnel and other operating costs. During the
next 12 months, we expect to incur approximately
$12.0 million of costs and capital expenditures related to:
|
|
|
|
|
marketing, advertising and other promotional activities; |
|
|
|
the expansion of our fulfillment operations, which includes
supply procurement, inventory management, order receipt,
packaging and shipment; and |
|
|
|
the continued development of our websites and our computer
network. |
Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that
we would be able to sustain or increase profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis in the future or that we will meet our
capital requirements. If we are unable to achieve or sustain
profitability, or meet our capital requirements, we may need
additional capital, and our stock price could suffer.
|
|
|
Because we do not have a predictable or guaranteed supply
of brand name watches and luxury goods, we may lose customers
and sales if we are unable to meet our customers demand
for particular products. |
We do not have any written agreements or formal arrangements to
acquire merchandise other than for diamonds and fine jewelry. As
a result, we do not have a predictable or guaranteed supply of
brand name watches and luxury goods. The availability of these
products depends on many factors, including consumer demand,
brand owner pricing and distribution practices, manufacturer
production and fashion trends. If we are unable to acquire a
sufficient supply and selection of products in a timely manner
at competitive prices, we may lose customers and our sales could
decline.
15
|
|
|
We acquire most of the brand name watches and luxury goods
we sell through the parallel market, or grey market as it is
also called, which increases the risk that we may inadvertently
sell counterfeit or stolen goods or merchandise which is
physically materially different from merchandise acquired from
channels authorized by the brand owners, which could expose us
to liability for intellectual property infringement claims and
damage our reputation. |
Approximately 46% and 44% of our net sales (78% and 77% of our
net sales excluding diamonds and fine jewelry) during the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, were
generated from sales of merchandise that we did not acquire
directly from the brand owners or their authorized distributors.
These alternative distribution channels are commonly referred to
as the parallel market or the grey
market. Merchandise purchased from these alternative
distribution channels includes authentic trademarked and
copyrighted products that are intended for sale in foreign
countries. In addition to our own compliance and quality testing
procedures, we rely on assurances from our suppliers as to the
authenticity of these products to ensure that products we
receive are genuine. Our purchase of merchandise in the parallel
market increases the risk that we will mistakenly purchase and
sell counterfeit goods, stolen goods or merchandise which is
physically materially different from merchandise acquired from
channels authorized by the brand owners. We may have difficulty
demonstrating that the merchandise we sell is authentic because
many of the distributors and other intermediaries from whom we
purchase merchandise may be unwilling to disclose their
suppliers. If we sell goods that are counterfeit, stolen or are
determined to be physically materially different, we may be
subject to significant liability for infringement of trademarks,
incur legal defense costs and suffer damage to our reputation
and decreased sales.
We have received in the past, and anticipate that we will
receive in the future, communications from brand owners alleging
that certain items sold through our websites infringe on such
brand owners trademarks, patents, copyrights and other
intellectual property rights. We may be subject to lawsuits by
brand owners and their authorized distributors based on
allegations that we sell physically materially different
merchandise, counterfeit goods or stolen goods. For example, in
August 2004, we settled for a nominal amount an action filed
against us in March 2004 by Prada, S.A. seeking an injunction
and unspecified damages alleging that we sold counterfeit goods.
Claims by brand owners, with or without merit, could be time
consuming, result in costly litigation, generate bad publicity
for us, or subject us to large claims for damages.
|
|
|
If brand owners take action to limit or prevent us from
acquiring their products in the parallel market, we may not be
able to find alternative sources of supply for such products at
satisfactory prices or at all, which would result in reduced
sales. |
Some brand owners such as Rolex and Raymond Weil have
implemented, and are likely to continue to implement, procedures
to limit the ability of third parties, including Odimo, to
purchase products through the parallel market by designating an
exclusive legal importer of their brands into the United States.
In the event we acquire such products from distributors and
other intermediaries who may not have complied with applicable
laws and regulations, such goods may be subject to seizure from
our inventory by the U.S. Customs Service, and the brand
owner may have a civil action for damages against us. Such
limitations or controls could affect our ability to obtain
products at satisfactory prices, or at all. When we are aware of
these policies we do not sell such brand names. However, we do
not contact brand owners to determine whether such restrictions
exist prior to purchasing these goods from our suppliers. If
more brand owners adopt such a policy, the number of products we
are able to sell will decrease. Brand owners may also decide to
more closely monitor their distribution chain, to prevent their
authorized distributors from selling goods in the parallel
markets.
Courts could find that we have tortiously interfered with
contractual arrangements between a brand owner and its
authorized wholesalers and retailers where those contractual
arrangements restrict authorized wholesalers and retailers from
selling to entities, such as Odimo, that will resell the
products. In addition, United States copyright law may prohibit
importation of genuine goods without the brand owners
permission when the goods are packaged together with goods that
are protected by a United States
16
copyright such as the nonmechanical design features of watches,
artistic features of home accessories and the package design of
fragrances we sell.
|
|
|
If it is determined that our sales of decoded watches
violate state laws, we would be subject to claims for damages,
fines or other penalties or be unable to sell decoded watches in
such states. |
Many of the brand name watches we sell have had their serial
numbers removed (decoded). We have reviewed the laws
of each of the 50 states, and have identified
41 states that have statutes that prohibit the sale or
possession of certain products that have been decoded. Among the
41 states, only California, Georgia and South Dakota have
statutes that specifically refer to decoded watches. In
11 states (in which our net sales of decoded watches were
approximately $1.2 million and $1.2 million during the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively), the
statutes contain exceptions for products that have not been
stolen or if there was no intent to defraud, deceive or
misrepresent. However, in 30 states (in which our aggregate
net sales of decoded watches were approximately
$4.8 million and $4.6 million during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively), including
California, Georgia and South Dakota, the statutes do not
contain these exceptions. As a result, there is uncertainty as
to whether these laws apply to sales of decoded watches if the
goods are not stolen or if there is no intent to defraud,
deceive or misrepresent. In addition, if we inadvertently
purchase stolen watches, we may be unable to rely on these
exceptions. We do not engage in the same in-house compliance and
quality testing procedures for watches as we do for our other
merchandise. The only procedures we follow to ensure that the
watches we purchase are not stolen are that we purchase in
significant quantities and we purchase watches only from
suppliers with whom we have a pre-existing relationship or to
whom we have been referred. Accordingly, we face increased risk
that the watches we buy may be stolen or counterfeit because we
do not have access to source documentation for our watches. If a
court were to determine that our sales of decoded watches
violate the laws of any state, we would be subject to claims for
damages, and fines or other penalties, and we would be unable to
continue to sell decoded watches in that state. We derived
approximately $6.6 million and $4.0 million of net
sales from decoded watches during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, which represented
approximately 32% and 30% of our net sales of watches and
approximately 16% and 12% of our total net sales during the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.
In addition to the statutes described above, seventeen states
(in which net sales of decoded watches was approximately
$4.6 million and $4.5 million during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively) have statutes
that regulate the sale of decoded watches. These laws categorize
decoded watches as grey market goods or
secondhand watches and impose specific disclosure
requirements. For example, laws in California and New York
prohibit anyone from offering grey market goods
without affixing to the product a label or tag disclosing, among
other things, that the item is secondhand and is not
covered by the manufacturers express written warranty,
even though the item has never been used. We have recently
implemented procedures, such as affixing a tag disclosing that
the item is secondhand, and designed our websites to
contain the requisite disclosure (i.e. no manufacturers
warranty) to comply with the laws in these states that regulate
the sale of decoded watches. However, if a court were to
determine that we failed to comply with such laws in a
particular state, we could be subject to claims for damages,
fines or other penalties or prohibited from selling decoded
watches in that state.

Our supply contract with The Steinmetz Diamond Group
expires in November 2006. If we fail to renew it, we may have to
purchase diamonds from other suppliers at less favorable prices
and terms. |
Our ability to acquire diamonds at attractive pricing and on
favorable terms is a key component of our strategy to increase
diamond sales. In March 2004, we entered into an agreement with
SDG Marketing, Inc., an affiliate of The Steinmetz Diamond
Group, to purchase diamonds through 2006. The Steinmetz Diamond
Group supplied 26% and 18% of our net sales of diamonds for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. If we
are unable to renew our contract with Steinmetz beyond 2006, we
may have to purchase diamonds from other sources which may be at
less favorable prices and terms. As a result, our diamond costs
could increase and our diamond sales could decrease.

If we fail to identify and rapidly respond to fashion
trends, we may be forced to absorb excess inventory or lower the
sales prices for our goods. |
The fashion industry is subject to rapidly changing trends and
shifting consumer demand. Accordingly, our success depends on
the priority that our target customers place on fashion and our
ability to anticipate, identify and capitalize upon emerging
fashion trends. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react
appropriately to changes in styles or trends could lead to,
among other things, excess inventories and markdowns, as well as
decreased appeal of our merchandise.
|
|
|
If our new product offerings are not successful, we may
have difficulty achieving growth in sales. |
From time to time, we offer new products on our websites. We
have sold luxury goods other than diamonds, jewelry and watches
only since December 2002, when we re-launched the
www.ashford.com website. We recently introduced a line of
Ashford branded products that we expect will eventually expand
to include watches, handbags and accessories. This line of our
business has a limited operating history, which subjects us to
the risks, uncertainties and difficulties presented by new
product lines, such as uncertain customer demand and the
uncertainties associated with a relatively limited time in which
to implement and evaluate our marketing strategy for this
product line. Expanding the sales of Ashford branded products
will require us to incur additional marketing expenses, develop
relationships with new suppliers and comply with applicable laws
and regulations. These requirements could strain our management
and our financial and operational resources. We may begin
selling other new product lines with which we have little or no
prior experience, and we may face challenges similar to those we
encounter in establishing our Ashford brand. If we are not
successful in establishing our Ashford brand or other new
product lines, we may not recoup the marketing and other
expenses associated with such new products, we may experience
write downs of inventory, and we may have difficulty increasing
our sales.
|
|
|
Our net sales and operating results are volatile and
difficult to predict, which may adversely affect the trading
price of our common stock. |
Our net sales and operating results have historically fluctuated
significantly from quarter to quarter and we expect they will
continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Because our
net sales and operating results are volatile and difficult to
predict, we believe that quarterly comparisons of our net sales
and results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and you
should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication
of our future performance.
|
|
|
Competition from traditional and online retail companies
with greater brand recognition and resources may adversely
affect our sales. |
The retail industry is intensely competitive, and we expect
competition in the sale of brand name watches and luxury goods,
diamonds and fine jewelry to increase in the future. Increased
competition may result in decreased net sales, lower margins,
loss of market share or increased marketing expenditures, any of
which could substantially harm our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Our competitors include:
|
|
|
|
|
independent and chain stores that sell jewelry, watches or other
luxury products, such as Tiffany & Co., Zales and
Signet PLCs Kay Jewelers; |
|
|
|
other online retailers that sell diamonds, fine jewelry, brand
name watches and/or luxury products, such as Amazon.com and Blue
Nile; |
|
|
|
department stores; |
|
|
|
boutiques and websites operated by brand owners; |
|
|
|
mass retailers and warehouse clubs that sell jewelry, watches or
other luxury products; |
18
|
|
|
|
|
catalog and television shopping retailers; and |
|
|
|
online auction houses and closeout retailers. |
Competition in the e-commerce market may intensify, because the
Internet lowers the barriers to entry and facilitates
comparison-shopping. In addition, manufacturers and brand owners
may create their own websites to sell their own merchandise.
Many of our current and potential competitors have greater brand
recognition, longer operating histories, more extensive customer
bases, broader product and service offerings and greater
resources for marketing, research and product development,
strategic acquisitions, alliances and joint ventures than we do.
As a result, these competitors may be able to secure merchandise
from suppliers on more favorable terms, and may be able to adopt
more aggressive pricing policies.
|
|
|
If our advertising relationships with Internet portals and
other websites fail to create consumer awareness of our websites
and product offerings, our sales may suffer. |
Substantially all of our sales come from customers who link to
our websites from websites operated by other online retailers or
Internet portals with whom we advertise. Establishing and
maintaining relationships with leading Internet portals and
other online retailers through our affiliate program is
competitive and expensive. During the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004, we spent $3.7 million and
$6.6 million, respectively, on online advertising,
affiliate programs and public relations. We do not maintain
long-term contracts or arrangements with Internet portals, and
we may not successfully enter into additional relationships or
renew existing ones beyond their current terms. We expect that
we will have to pay increasing fees to maintain, expand or enter
into new relationships of this type. In addition, traffic to our
websites could decline if our Internet portal and online
marketing programs become less effective or if the traffic to
the website of an Internet portal on which we advertise
decreases. Our business could be materially adversely affected
if any of our online advertisers experience financial or
operational difficulties or if they experience other corporate
developments that adversely affect their performance. A failure
to maintain, expand or enter into Internet portal relationships
or to establish additional online advertising relationships that
generate a significant amount of traffic from other websites
could result in decreased sales or limit the growth of our
business.
|
|
|
If online advertising rates continue to rise, we may
purchase less advertising and our sales could decrease. |
Approximately 90% of our marketing expenses are for online
advertising. Over the last six months online advertising rates,
including banner advertisements and selected key words on search
engines, have significantly increased. If the costs of online
advertising continue to rise, our ability to purchase online
advertising may be limited, which in turn could have an adverse
effect on our sales.
|
|
|
Because we carry almost all of our brand name watches,
jewelry and luxury goods in inventory, if we are unable to
accurately predict and plan for changes in consumer demand, our
net sales and gross margins may decrease. |
We held approximately $5.4 million and $8.8 million of
brand name watches, fine jewelry and luxury goods in inventory
as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. If our
sales levels increase, we will increase our inventory
proportionately. Consumer tastes and preferences for luxury
products can change rapidly, thus exposing us to significant
inventory risks. The demand for specific products can change
between the time the products are ordered and the date of
receipt. We do not have return privileges with respect to all of
our inventory (other than diamonds). As a result, if we do not
accurately predict these trends or if we overstock unpopular
products, we may be required to take significant inventory
markdowns, which could reduce our net sales and gross margins.
We are particularly exposed to this risk in the first quarter of
each year because we derive a disproportionately large amount of
our annual net sales in the fourth quarter, and maintain
significantly increased inventory levels for the holiday selling
season.
19
|
|
|
Our operating results are subject to seasonal
fluctuations, and adverse results in our fourth quarter will
have a disproportionate impact on our results of operations for
the year. |
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience,
seasonal fluctuations in our net sales, with a disproportionate
amount of our net sales realized during the fourth quarter
ending December 31, as a result of the holiday buying
season. Over 39.4%, 43.8% and 41.2% of our net sales in the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively,
were generated during the fourth quarter. If we were to
experience lower than expected net sales during any fourth
quarter, it would have a disproportionately large impact on our
operating results and financial condition for that year. Also,
in anticipation of increased sales activity during the fourth
quarter, we increase our inventories and staffing in our
fulfillment and customer support operations and incur other
additional expenses, which may have a negative effect on our
cash flow.
|
|
|
We are dependent on Alan Lipton, our Chief Executive
Officer and President, and other members of our management team.
The loss of any of them could harm our business. |
Our performance is substantially dependent upon the services and
performance of our senior management team: Alan Lipton, our
Chief Executive Officer and President, Jeffrey Kornblum, our
Chief Operating Officer, Amerisa Kornblum, our Chief Financial
Officer and Treasurer, and George Grous, our Chief Technology
Officer. We have employment agreements with each of these four
key employees, with terms through July 2007. All members of our
management team may terminate their employment with us at any
time. The loss of the services of any of our senior management
team or certain of our key employees for any reason could
adversely affect our operations or otherwise have a material
adverse effect on our business.
|
|
|
We may not be able to increase capacity or respond to
rapid technological changes in a timely manner or without
service interruptions, which may cause customer
dissatisfaction. |
A key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of
traffic on our websites. Our servers and communication systems
operate at between 20% and 90% of capacity, depending on the
time of year and current promotions and advertising levels. Over
the past year, we have experienced server and communication
interruptions for periods of routine maintenance and systems
upgrades. As traffic on our websites grows, we may not be able
to accommodate all of the growth in user demand on our websites
and in our customer service center. If we are unable to upgrade
our existing technology or network infrastructure and the
systems used to process customers orders and payments to
accommodate increased sales volume, our potential customers may
be dissatisfied and may purchase merchandise from our
competitors. We may also fail to provide enough capacity in our
customer service center to answer phones or provide adequate
customer service. A failure to implement new systems and
increase customer service center capacity effectively or within
a reasonable period of time could adversely affect our sales.
We also intend to introduce additional or enhanced features and
services to retain current customers and attract new customers
to our websites. If we introduce a feature or a service that is
not favorably received, our current customers may not use our
websites as frequently and we may not be successful in
attracting new customers. We may also experience difficulties
that could delay or prevent us from introducing new services and
features. These new services or features may contain errors that
are discovered only after they are introduced and we may need to
significantly modify the design of these services or features to
correct these errors. If customers encounter difficulty with or
do not accept new services or features, they may decide to
purchase instead from one of our competitors, decreasing our
sales.
|
|
|
All of our operations are located at our Sunrise, Florida
facilities, and disruptions at these facilities could prevent us
from receiving orders or fulfilling orders for our customers in
a timely manner. |
Our fulfillment operations and our computer and communications
systems are located at leased facilities in Sunrise, Florida.
Our ability to fulfill customer orders through our Sunrise
facilities in a timely manner, or at all, could be affected by a
number of factors, including any disruption of our computer or
20
communications systems, an employee strike or other labor
stoppage, a disruption in the transportation infrastructure or
hurricanes or other natural disasters. If we are unable to
fulfill our customers orders through the Sunrise
facilities, we may not be able to quickly secure a replacement
distribution facilities on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our
computer and communications systems are particularly vulnerable
to power loss, telecommunications failure, general Internet
failure or failures of Internet service providers, human error,
computer viruses and physical or electronic break-ins. Any of
these events could lead to system damage or interruptions,
delays and loss of critical data, and make our websites or
customer service center inaccessible to our customers or prevent
us from efficiently fulfilling orders. Frequent or long service
delays or interruptions in our service or disruptions during a
peak holiday season will reduce our net sales and profits, and
damage our reputation. Future net sales and profits will be
harmed if our customers believe that our system is unreliable.
|
|
|
Our planned move to a new facility in 2005 may disrupt our
operations. |
We intend to move our entire logistics and distribution
operations to a new facility during the second quarter of 2005,
and to begin relocating the rest of our operations to that
facility in the fall of 2005, immediately prior to the quarter
in which we historically have increased sales activity. In
connection with these moves, we may experience some
interruptions in our operations. Any failure to successfully
manage our move to the new facility could detract from our
customers experience, which would damage our reputation
and decrease our sales.

|
|
The availability and price of diamonds are significantly
influenced by a small number of diamond mining firms as well as
the political situation in diamond-producing countries. A
decrease in the availability or an increase in the price of
diamonds may make it difficult for us to procure enough diamonds
at competitive prices to supply our customers. |
The supply and price of rough (uncut and unpolished) diamonds in
the principal world markets have been and continue to be
significantly influenced by a small number of diamond mining
firms. As a result, any decisions made to restrict the supply of
rough diamonds by these diamond mining firms to our suppliers
could substantially impair our ability to acquire diamonds at
reasonable prices. We do not currently have any direct supply
relationships with these diamond mining firms, nor do we expect
to pursue such a relationship. The availability and price of
diamonds to our suppliers may fluctuate depending on the
political situation in diamond-producing countries. Sustained
interruption in the supply of rough diamonds, an overabundance
of supply or a substantial change in the relationship between
the major mining firms and our suppliers, including the loss by
Steinmetz of its De Beers sightholder status, could adversely
affect us. Our recent experience suggests that the price of
rough diamonds is increasing. A failure to secure diamonds at
reasonable commercial prices and in sufficient quantities would
lower our revenues and adversely impact our results of
operations. In addition, increases in the price of diamonds may
adversely affect consumer demand, which could cause a decline in
our net sales.
|
|
|
Increases in the cost of precious metals and precious and
semi-precious stones would increase the cost of our jewelry
products, which could result in reduced margins or increased
prices and reduced sales of such products. |
The jewelry industry in general is affected by fluctuations in
the prices of precious metals and precious and semi-precious
stones. The availability and prices of gold, silver and platinum
and other precious metals and precious and semi-precious stones
may be influenced by such factors as cartels, political
instability in exporting countries, changes in global demand and
inflation. Shortages of these materials or a rise in their price
could result in reduced margins or increased prices causing
reduced sales of such products.
21
|
|
|
Increased product returns and the failure to accurately
predict product returns could reduce our gross margins and
result in excess inventory. |
We offer our customers a 15- or 30-day return policy that allows
our customers to return most products if they are not satisfied
for any reason. We make allowances for product returns in our
financial statements based on historical return rates. Actual
merchandise returns are difficult to predict and may
significantly exceed our allowances. Any significant increase in
merchandise returns above our allowances would reduce our gross
margins and could result in excess inventory or inventory
write-downs. Once a product is purchased from the parallel
market and has been inspected and accepted by us, we cannot
return the product to our supplier.
|
|
|
If we attain specified levels of financial performance, we
are obligated to make earn-out payments to one of our
stockholders. |
If and to the extent that our net income before income taxes,
interest income and expense, depreciation expense, amortization
expense, and other non-cash expenses (as defined in the
agreement with GSI) is positive during the 2005, 2006 and 2007
fiscal years, we will be obligated to make a payment to GSI
Commerce, Inc., the entity from which we purchased the
www.ashford.com domain name in December 2002, equal to
10% of such amount for such year, up to a maximum aggregate
amount of $2.0 million. This payment is tied to income
derived from our entire business, not just from our
www.ashford.com website.
|
|
|
Other online retailers may use domain names that are
similar to ours. If customers associate these websites with us,
our brands may be harmed and we may lose sales. |
Our Internet domain names are an important aspect of our
business. Under current domain name registration practices, no
one else can obtain an identical domain name, but they can
obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different
suffix, such as .net or .org, or with a
different country designation such as jp for Japan.
For example, we do not own the domain name
www.diamonds.com or
www.diamonds-usa.com. As a result, third
parties may use domain names that are similar to ours, which may
result in confusion of potential customers, impairment of the
value of our brands and lost sales.
|
|
|
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock,
and, consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on
your investment is if the price of our common stock
appreciates. |
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common
stock and do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for
the foreseeable future. We intend to invest our future earnings,
if any, to fund our growth. Therefore, you likely will not
receive any dividends from us on our common stock for the
foreseeable future.
Risks Relating to Doing Business on the Internet
|
|
|
If we are required to collect sales and use taxes on the
products we sell in jurisdictions outside of Florida, we may be
subject to liability for past sales and our future sales may
decrease. |
In accordance with current industry practice and our
interpretation of current law, we do not currently collect sales
and use taxes or other taxes with respect to shipments of goods
into states other than Florida. However, one or more states or
foreign countries may seek to impose sales or other tax
collection obligations on us in the future. A successful
assertion by one or more states or foreign countries that we
should be collecting sales or other taxes on the sale of our
products could result in substantial tax liabilities for past
and future sales, discourage customers from purchasing products
from us, decrease our ability to compete with traditional
retailers or otherwise substantially harm our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
22
|
|
|
Various legal rules and regulations related to privacy and
the collection, dissemination and security of personal
information may adversely affect our marketing efforts. |
We are subject to increasing regulation at the federal, state
and international levels relating to privacy and the use of
personal user information, designed to protect the privacy of
personally identifiable information as well as to protect
against its misuse. These laws include the Federal Trade
Commission Act, the CAN Spam Act, the Childrens Online
Privacy Protection Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and
related regulations as well as other legal provisions. Several
states have proposed legislation that would limit the use of
personal information gathered online or require online services
to establish privacy policies. These regulations and other laws,
rules and regulations enacted in the future, may adversely
affect our ability to collect and disseminate or share
demographic and personal information from users and our ability
to email or telephone users, which could be costly and adversely
affect our marketing efforts.
|
|
|
Consumers may prefer to purchase brand name watches and
luxury goods, diamonds and fine jewelry from traditional
retailers, which would adversely affect our sales. |
The online market for brand name watches and luxury goods,
diamonds and fine jewelry is significantly less developed than
the online market for books, music, toys and other consumer
products. Our success will depend in part on our ability to
attract consumers who have historically purchased brand name
watches and luxury goods, diamonds and fine jewelry through
traditional retailers. We may have difficulty attracting
additional consumers to purchase products on our websites for a
variety of reasons, including:
|
|
|
|
|
concerns about buying expensive products without a physical
storefront, face-to-face interaction with sales personnel and
the ability to physically handle and examine products; |
|
|
|
concerns over counterfeit or substandard goods; |
|
|
|
delivery times associated with Internet orders; |
|
|
|
product offerings that do not reflect consumer tastes and
preferences; |
|
|
|
pricing that does not meet consumer expectations; |
|
|
|
concerns about the security of online transactions and the
privacy of personal information; |
|
|
|
delayed shipments, theft or shipments of incorrect or damaged
products; and |
|
|
|
inconvenience associated with returning or exchanging purchased
items. |
|
|
|
If the Internet infrastructure fails to grow or
deteriorates, our ability to grow our business will be
impaired. |
Our success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance
of the Internet infrastructure. This includes maintenance of a
reliable network infrastructure with the necessary speed, data
capacity and security for providing reliable Internet services.
Viruses, worms and similar programs also harm the performance of
the Internet. The Internet has experienced a variety of outages
and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its
infrastructure, and it could face outages and delays in the
future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of
Internet usage as well as our ability to provide our solutions.
23
Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our
Common Stock
|
|
|
Our stock price may be volatile. |
The market price for our common stock has been and is likely to
continue to be volatile. In addition, the market price of our
common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number
of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:
|
|
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations; |
|
|
|
variance in our financial performance from the expectations of
market analysts; |
|
|
|
developments with respect to intellectual property rights; |
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of new product and
service offerings, significant contracts, acquisitions or
strategic relationships; |
|
|
|
our involvement in litigation; |
|
|
|
our sale of common stock or other securities in the future; |
|
|
|
market conditions in our industry; |
|
|
|
recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
|
|
|
changes in market valuation or earnings of our competitors; |
|
|
|
the trading volume of our common stock; |
|
|
|
changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of
our markets; and |
|
|
|
general economic or market conditions and other factors,
including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the
operating performance of our competitors. |
|
|
|
Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price
to decline. |
A small number of our current stockholders hold a substantial
number of shares of our common stock that they will be able to
sell in the public market in the future, subject to certain
lock-up agreements which restrict the sale of shares held by our
officers, directors and principal stockholders until August 2005
without the consent of the underwriters of our initial public
offering. Shares held by our officers, directors and principal
stockholders will be considered restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and, after the lock-up period, will be eligible
for resale subject to the volume, manner of sale, holding period
and other limitations of Rule 144.
Sales by our current stockholders of a substantial number of
shares, or the expectation that such sale may occur, could
significantly reduce the market price of our common stock.
Moreover, the holders of a substantial number of our shares of
common stock have rights to require us to file registration
statements to permit the resale of their shares in the public
market or to include their shares in registration statements
that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. We also
intend to register all common stock that we may issue under our
employee benefit plans. Accordingly, these shares, when
registered, can be freely sold in the public market upon
issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws and
the lock-up agreements described above. If any of these
stockholders cause a large number of securities to be sold in
the public market, the sales could reduce the trading price of
our common stock. These sales also could impede our ability to
raise future capital.
|
|
|
Our common stock has been publicly traded for a short time
and an active trading market may not be sustained. |
Although we are currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq
National Market, an active trading market for our common stock
may not be sustained. An inactive market may impair your ability
to sell shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price
that you consider reasonable. Furthermore, an inactive market
24
may impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares and
may impair our ability to acquire other businesses, products and
technologies by using our shares as consideration.
|
|
|
Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents
and Delaware law may discourage or prevent a change in control,
even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders,
which could affect our stock price adversely and prevent
attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current
management. |
Our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws
contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change in
control, discourage bids at a premium over the market price of
our common stock and adversely affect the market price of our
common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of
our common stock. These provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
Our board of directors has the exclusive right to elect
directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the
board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a
director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill
vacancies on our board of directors. |
|
|
|
Our stockholders may not act by written consent. As a result, a
holder or holders controlling a majority of our capital stock
would be able to take certain actions only at a
stockholders meeting. |
|
|
|
No stockholder may call a special meeting of stockholders. This
may make it more difficult for stockholders to take certain
actions. |
|
|
|
Our stockholders may not remove a director without cause, and
our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board
of directors with staggered, three-year terms. As a result, it
could take up to three years for stockholders to replace the
entire board. |
|
|
|
Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative
voting in the election of directors. This limits the ability of
minority stockholders to elect director candidates. |
|
|
|
Stockholders must provide advance notice to nominate individuals
for election to the board of directors or to propose matters
that can be acted upon at a stockholders meeting. These
provisions may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from
conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the
acquirers own slate of directors or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of our company. |
|
|
|
Our board of directors may issue, without stockholder approval,
shares of undesignated preferred stock. The ability to authorize
undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of
directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights
or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to
acquire us. |
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain
Delaware anti-takeover provisions. Under Delaware law, a
corporation may not engage in a business combination with any
holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has
held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board
of directors has approved the transaction. Our board of
directors could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay an
acquisition of us.
|
|
|
If our officers, directors and principal stockholders
choose to act together, they may be able to control our
management and operations, acting in their best interests and
not in the best interests of other stockholders. |
Our officers, directors and holders of 5% or more of our
outstanding common stock beneficially own the majority of our
outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders,
acting together, will be able to significantly influence all
matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the
election of directors and the approval of mergers or other
business combination transactions. The interests of this group
of stockholders may not always coincide with our interests or
the interests of other stockholders, and they may act in a

those of other stockholders. As a result of their actions or
inactions our stock price may decline.

Our corporate offices and fulfillment operations are located in
Sunrise, Florida, where we lease approximately
20,500 square feet through December 2005. Since July 2004
we have been leasing approximately 17,000 additional square feet
at a second facility in Sunrise, Florida which currently houses
a portion of our distribution and logistics operations. We
entered into a five year (with a five year option to renew)
lease agreement for 34,000 square feet at this additional
facility, which 34,000 square feet incorporates the
17,000 square feet of additional space we are currently
leasing. The new lease permits us to continue to occupy the
17,000 square feet and to occupy the remaining
17,000 square feet beginning in January 2006. We intend to
move the remainder of our logistics and distribution operations
to the new facility during the second quarter of 2005 and the
remainder of our operations by January 2006.

Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings |
We occasionally receive written letters of complaint from
trademark owners objecting to our sales of their products at low
prices and/or threatening litigation. In the past, such
situations have rarely resulted in litigation, and, in the
single case where litigation was instituted, the matter was
settled at nominal cost and with no change or disruption in our
purchasing or sales practices.
As our business expands and our company grows larger, the number
and significance of disputes may increase. Any claims against
us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result
in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management
time, and result in the diversion of significant operational
resources.
Other than the immediately preceding discussion, we are not
currently a party to any material legal or other proceedings.

We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act
for the sale and issuance of securities in the transactions
described in paragraphs (1) through (12) by
virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not
involving any public offering. We believe that the issuances
were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act on the basis that (a) the purchasers of securities for
which we relied on Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D
represented that they were accredited investors as defined under
the Securities Act, (b) the purchasers in each case
represented that they intended to acquire the securities for
investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof
and that they received adequate information about us or had
access, through employment or other relationships, to such
information, and (c) appropriate legends were affixed to
the stock certificates issued in such transactions. The
recipients of securities in these transactions
28
represented their intention to acquire the securities for
investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection
with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were
affixed to the share certificates and instruments issued in such
transactions. All recipients had adequate access to information
about us through their employment or other relationships.
The issuances described in paragraphs (13) through
(23) above were issued pursuant to written compensatory
plans or arrangements with our employees, directors and
consultants, in reliance on the exemption provided by
Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. All
recipients either received adequate information about us or had
access, through employment or other relationships, to such
information.
Use of Proceeds
On February 14, 2005, our registration statement on
Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-117400) was declared
effective for our initial public offering, pursuant to which we
registered 3,125,000 shares of common stock to be sold by
us and an additional 468,750 shares were subject to the
underwriters over-allotment option. The stock was offered
at $9.00 per share or an aggregate of $28,125,000. Our
common stock commenced trading on February 15, 2005. The
offering closed on February 18, 2005 after the sale of
3,125,000 shares by us and as a result, we received net
proceeds of approximately $22.4 million (after
underwriters discounts of $1.9 million and the
payment of offering expenses totaling approximately
$3.8 million). The underwriters of the offering were CIBC
World Markets Corp., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and
Merriman Curran Ford & Co. No offering expenses were
paid directly or indirectly to directors, officers (or their
associates), or to persons owning 10% or more of any of our
equity securities.
As of March 21, 2005, we have used approximately
$17 million of the $22.4 million of net proceeds from
the offering, including the repayment of $9.3 million of
debt. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general
corporate purposes, including acquisition of inventory, upgrades
of our websites and marketing activities. Our cash is currently
invested in government backed debt securities.
We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for
the net proceeds received from our initial public offering. The
amount and timing of our expenditures will depend on several
factors, including the amount of revenue generated from our
operations, the progress of our commercialization efforts, and
the amount of cash used in our operations. Accordingly, our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the
net proceeds.
Repurchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements,
which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including those set forth previously under the caption
Risk Factors. This Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should
be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
report.
Overview
Odimo is an online retailer of current season brand name watches
and luxury goods, high quality diamonds and fine jewelry. We
offer our products through three websites, www.diamond.com,
www.ashford.com and www.worldofwatches.com.
Substantially all of our brand name watches and other luxury
goods are offered at prices below suggested retail prices. We
also showcase diamonds and a wide range of precious and
semi-precious jewelry at competitive prices.
We commenced operations in 1998 by offering diamonds and a
limited selection of jewelry products through the website
www.diamonddepot.com. In early 2000, we began offering an
expanded product line that included a large selection of brand
name watches and a broader selection of diamonds and fine
jewelry through two websites, www.diamond.com and
www.worldofwatches.com. In December 2002, we purchased
the domain name www.ashford.com. In January 2003, we
re-launched the www.ashford.com website and began
offering luxury goods such as brand name handbags and other
fashion accessories, fine writing instruments, home accents,
fragrances and sunglasses. We acquire most of these brand name
watches and luxury goods products through the parallel market
(products obtained from sources other than brand owners or their
authorized distributors). As discussed in Risk
Factors and note 10 to the consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this report, our purchases in
the parallel market may subject us to challenges from brand
owners which might impact our supply of brand name watches and
luxury goods. We have six subsidiaries through which we conduct
our purchasing operations. Since 2003, we have focused and
intend to continue to focus our marketing efforts primarily on
the www.ashford.com and www.diamond.com websites.
In March 2004, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of
The Steinmetz Diamond Group which permits us to select and
purchase diamonds at cash market prices. Cash market prices are
typically the lowest available wholesale price where the buyer
pays the seller cash at the time of sale, and reflect a discount
of 5.0% to 7.5% from prices for diamonds purchased on a credit
basis. Under this agreement with Steinmetz, however, we can
defer payment up to 180 days which substantially reduces
our working capital needs. In addition, Steinmetz allows us to
return unsold goods, which reduces our inventory risk. We
previously purchased substantially all of our diamonds on
consignment. Due to the increased availability of our most
popular styles and sizes of diamonds resulting from our new
Steinmetz agreement, our net sales of diamonds purchased from
Steinmetz has grown in the third quarter of 2004 compared to the
immediately preceding quarter.

Key Business Metrics
We periodically review certain key business metrics to evaluate
the effectiveness of our operational strategies and the
financial performance of our business. These key metrics include
the following:
This represents the total number of orders shipped in a
specified period. We analyze the number of orders to evaluate
the effectiveness of our merchandising and advertising
strategies as well as to monitor our inventory management.
Average order value is the ratio of gross sales divided by the
number of orders generated within a given time period. We
analyze average order value primarily to monitor fulfillment
costs and other operating expenses.
Product mix represents the revenue contribution of the primary
products that we feature by category. We review product mix to
determine customer preferences and manage our inventory. Product
mix is a primary determinant of our gross margin. Gross margin
is gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

In addition to these key metrics, we also periodically review
customer repeat rates and customer acquisition costs to evaluate
our operations.
Basis of Presentation
Net sales consists of revenue from the sale of our products, net
of estimated returns by customers, promotional discounts and, to
a much lesser extent, revenue from upgrades to our standard free
shipping.
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of sales from
net sales. Our cost of sales consists of the cost of the
products we sell, including inbound freight costs and assembly
costs. Our gross profit fluctuates based on several factors,
including product acquisition costs, product mix and pricing
decisions. Due to the seasonality of our business, our gross
profit as a percentage of net sales is typically greater in the
fourth quarter. In general, we realize higher gross profit on
the sale of our luxury goods, jewelry and watches in comparison
to diamonds.
Fulfillment expenses include outbound freight costs paid by us,
commissions paid to sales associates, credit card processing
fees and packaging and other shipping supplies. Commissions are
paid based on a percentage of the price of the goods sold and
are expensed when the goods are sold.
Marketing expenses consist primarily of online advertising
expenses, affiliate program fees and commissions, public
relations costs and other marketing expenses.
32
General and administrative expenses include payroll and related
employee benefits, costs to maintain our websites, professional
fees, insurance, rent, travel and other general corporate
expenses.

Includes non-cash stock-based compensation of $39,000, $2,000,
and $4.7 million during the years ended December 31,
2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. |
|
|
|
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2004 to Year
Ended December 31, 2003 |
Net Sales. Net sales for the year ended December 31,
2004 increased 25.3% to $52.2 million from
$41.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Approximately $4.7 million or 45.0% of this increase
resulted from higher sales of luxury goods, which were primarily
sold through www.ashford.com. The balance of the increase
resulted from a $3.4 million increase in sales of diamonds
and a $2.2 million increase in sales of jewelry.
Number of orders for the year ended December 31, 2004,
increased 33.8% to 155,840 from 116,440 for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This growth was a result of an increase
in new customers as well as increased sales to existing
customers across our expanded product categories. However, for
the year ended December 31, 2004, our average order value
decreased 7.0% to $374 from $402 for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase in orders and decrease in
average order value is due to our introducing luxury goods as a
new product category which tends to have smaller average order
values than diamonds and fine jewelry.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the year ended
December 31, 2004 increased 28.5% to $15.1 million
from $11.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2003 due to increases in sales volume. Our gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 28.9% for the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared to 28.2% during the year ended
December 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales during the year ended December 31,
2004 was primarily the result of an increased proportion of net
sales being derived from higher margin luxury goods.
33
Fulfillment. Fulfillment expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2004 increased 35.8% to $3.5 million from
$2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
This was primarily due to a 33.8% increase in orders and
resulting increases in credit card processing fees and shipping
costs. As a percentage of net sales, fulfillment expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2004 increased to 6.7% compared
to 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase
was primarily driven by a shift in our product mix towards
luxury goods which tend to have higher shipping costs per order.
Marketing. Marketing expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2004 increased 78.7% to $6.6 million from
$3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
increase was primarily due to increased online advertising
costs. As a percentage of net sales, marketing expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2004 increased to 12.7% compared to
8.9% for the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily due to
a decrease in average order value partially offset by increased
sales to repeat customers.
General and Administrative. General and administrative
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased
67.1% to $14.1 million from $8.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to
$4.7 million of stock-based compensation expense in the
year ended December 31, 2004 due to the granting of
immediately vested options to purchase 290,000 shares
of common stock to employees. The remaining $0.9 million
increase was due to an increase in salaries and related payroll
benefits resulting from the employment of additional personnel
to accommodate our increased sales volume and due to legal and
professional fees. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
2004 increased to 27.1% compared to 20.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to
stock-based compensation noted above offset by an increase in
our net sales, which outpaced our growth in general and
administrative expenses. Excluding the stock-based compensation
expense of $4.7 million, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales would have decreased to
18.1% for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to
20.3% for the year ended December 31, 2003. We expect
general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in
absolute dollars in the future as a result of continued
expansion of our administrative infrastructure to support our
increased sales and increased expenses associated with being a
public company.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and
amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2004
decreased 9.1% to $2.7 million from $3.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease is
attributable to the fact that the depreciation on a portion of
our property and equipment was completed during 2003.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, for the
year ended December 31, 2004 decreased 47.2% to
$0.6 million from $1.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This decrease is attributable to
decreased interest expense on stockholder notes in 2004 as
compared to 2003 of $208,000, decreased interest expense of
$165,000 on a note payable to GSI Commerce, Inc. which we issued
as partial consideration for the purchase of the domain name
www. Ashford.com and related assets in December 2002, decreased
amortization of discount on notes payable to stockholders in
connection with warrants issued of $435,000, offset by an
increase in interest expense incurred in connection with our
bank credit facilities in 2004 of $262,000 for which there was
no corresponding interest expense in 2003.
Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31,
2004 was $12.5 million as compared to $7.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was
primarily attributable to a substantial increase in online
marketing costs during 2004 compared to 2003 and the
$4.7 million of stock-based compensation expense in the
year ended December 31, 2004 due to the granting of
immediately vested options to purchase 290,000 shares
of common stock to employees. There was $2,000 of stock-based
compensation in the year ended December 31, 2003.
|
|
|
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2003 to Year
Ended December 31, 2002 |
Net Sales. Net sales in 2003 increased 51.5% to
$41.7 million from $27.5 million in 2002.
Approximately $4.8 million of this increase was from higher
sales of diamonds, which were primarily sold through
www.diamond.com, and $3.7 million was from increased
sales of other luxury goods, which were
34
primarily sold through www.ashford.com. The balance of
the increase resulted from $3.5 million of additional watch
sales through our three websites and $2.2 million of
additional fine jewelry sales primarily through
www.diamond.com.
Number of orders in 2003 increased 78.7% to 116,440 from 65,157
in 2002. Order volume increased following the launch of our
luxury goods website, www.ashford.com, in January 2003 as
well as increased sales to existing customers across multiple
product categories. Our average order value in 2003 decreased
14.6% to $402 from $471 in 2002. This decrease in average order
value resulted from an increase in number of orders of luxury
goods which tend to have lower prices than diamonds and fine
jewelry products.
Gross Profit. Gross profit in 2003 increased 54.8% to
$11.7 million from $7.6 million in 2002 primarily due
to increases in sales volume. Our gross profit as a percentage
of net sales in 2003 increased to 28.2% compared to 27.6% in
2002 as a result of the shift in product mix to higher margin
luxury goods and fine jewelry.
Fulfillment. Fulfillment expenses in 2003 increased 41.5%
to $2.6 million from $1.8 million in 2002. The
increase in 2003 was primarily due to a 78.7% increase in the
number of orders and an increase in shipping costs and credit
card fees. As a percentage of net sales, fulfillment expenses in
2003 decreased to 6.2% compared to 6.6% in 2002 primarily due to
a decrease in outbound freight costs.
Marketing. Marketing expenses in 2003 increased 70.2% to
$3.7 million in 2003 from $2.2 million in 2002 due to
an increase in online advertising costs. As a percentage of net
sales, marketing expenses in 2003 increased to 8.9% compared to
7.9% in 2002. The increase in our marketing costs is associated
with our re-launch of the www.ashford.com website and the
growth of our affiliate marketing program.
General and Administrative. General and administrative
expenses in 2003 increased 16.9% to $8.5 million from
$7.2 million in 2002. The increase was primarily due to
higher payroll and benefit costs from the additional personnel
needed to accommodate our higher sales volume offset by a
decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $37,000 as a
result of the deferred stock-based compensation expense becoming
fully amortized. As a percentage of net sales, general and
administrative expenses in 2003 decreased to 20.3% compared to
26.3% in 2002.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and
amortization expense in 2003 increased 19.6% to
$3.0 million from $2.5 million in 2002 as a result of
$1.8 million of amortization of marketing-related
intangibles arising from the December 2002 purchase of the
www.ashford.com domain name and related assets, offset by
a reduction in amortization of approximately $392,000 associated
with the fully amortized balance of the www.diamond.com
domain name and the 1-888-Diamond affinity phone number.
Additionally, depreciation expense was reduced by approximately
$757, 000 related to assets that became fully amortized in 2002.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net in 2003
increased by $1.1 million from 2002 as a result of $609,000
attributed to the amortization of discounts on notes payable to
stockholders and $291,000 attributed to a note payable to GSI
Commerce, Inc., which we issued as partial consideration for the
purchase of the domain name www.ashford.com and related
assets in December 2002. The balance of $237,000 represents
interest expense on stockholder notes outstanding in 2003.
Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31,
2003 was $7.1 million as compared to $6.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002.

Quarterly Operations Data |
The following tables set forth quarterly consolidated statements
of operations data for each of the eight quarters ended
December 31, 2004, including amounts expressed as a
percentage of net sales. This quarterly information is
unaudited, but has been prepared on the same basis as the annual
consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of our
management, reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the information for the periods presented. This
quarterly statement of operations data
35
should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in
this report. Operating results for any quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results for any future period.
Our net sales are highly seasonal, with increased sales around
the major gift-giving holidays. A large percentage of our net
sales is generated during the December holiday season and to a
lesser extent in February and May due to Valentines Day
and Mothers Day. During the fourth quarter, our
fulfillment costs typically increase as a percentage of net
sales primarily as a result of shipping upgrades. Our general
and administrative expenses are also seasonal as we increase our
staffing in anticipation of increased sales activity. The growth
of our net sales over the periods presented may obscure the
seasonality of our overall results and cause quarter to quarter
and year to year comparisons of our operating results to not be
meaningful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded our operations primarily through private
placements of securities and with borrowings under our bank
credit facility. In February 2005 we received net proceeds of
$22.4 million from the initial public offering of our
common stock and approximately $1.4 million from the
exercise of warrants.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $8.9 million compared to net
cash provided by operating activities for the year ended
December 31, 2003 of $728,000. The increase in net cash
used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in
inventories of $8.3 million and a $2.6 million
increase in other assets. Net cash used in operating activities
in 2002 was $3.0 million. Net cash provided by operating
activities in 2003 improved $3.7 million from the net cash
used in operating activities of $3.0 million in 2002 due to
a significant increase in accounts payable partially offset by
increases in inventories as a result of our increase in product
offerings on www.ashford.com.
Net cash used in investing activities in the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $3.7 million compared to $1.7 in
the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was
primarily attributable to expenditures for computer and related
equipment and software development costs. Since our inception
our investing activities have consisted primarily of purchases
of fixed assets and capital expenditures for our technology
systems and software development. Net cash used in investing
activities in 2002 was $723,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $9.2 million, a change of
$9.6 million from the $400,000 of net cash used in
financing activities during the year ended December 31,
2003. This change was the result of $9.3 million borrowed
under our bank credit facilities and $2.8 million in
proceeds received from the issuance of convertible preferred
stock and warrants and offset by payments on stockholder notes
of $2.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities
in 2002 was $ $2.0 million. The change in net cash used in
financing activities in 2003 compared to net cash provided by
financing activities in 2002 of $2.4 million was
attributable to cash used to make principal payments on
stockholder notes offset by $500,000 of net proceeds received
from the issuance of convertible preferred stock and warrants.
We currently anticipate that we will expend approximately
$3.0 million for technology and systems upgrades over the
next twelve months. Beginning in 2005, and thereafter, we
anticipate annual expenditures, ranging from $2.5 million
to $3.5 million for technology and systems upgrades.
As a public company, we expect to incur legal, accounting and
other additional expenses between $1.0 million and
$2.0 million annually.
If and to the extent that our net income before income taxes,
interest income and expense, depreciation expense, amortization
expense, and other non-cash expenses (as defined in the
agreement with GSI) is positive during 2005, 2006, and 2007, we
will be obligated to make a payment to GSI Commerce, Inc., the
entity from which we purchased the www.ashford.com domain
name in December 2002, equal to 10% of such amount for such
year, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 million. To
the extent that we are required to make any such payments, our
cash flow will be reduced correspondingly.
Our principal sources of short-term liquidity consist of cash
and cash equivalents, borrowings available under our bank credit
facility and cash generated from operations.
As of December 31, 2004, we had $1.7 million of cash
and cash equivalents (and $813,000 of restricted cash pledged as
collateral to a credit card processing company) compared to
$5.1 million of cash and cash equivalents (and $645,000 of
restricted cash pledged as collateral to a credit card
processing company) as of December 31, 2003. Until required
for other purposes, our cash and cash equivalents are maintained
in deposit accounts or highly liquid investments with original
maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.
37
We completed an initial public offering of 3,125,000 shares
of common stock at $9.00 per share on February 18,
2005, which generated net proceeds of approximately
$22.4 million (after underwriters discounts of
approximately $1.9 million and offering expenses of
approximately $3.8 million). At the closing of the initial
public offering, holders of warrants to purchase preferred stock
holders of warrants to purchase 147,000 and
107,000 shares of Series C and Series D Preferred
Stock, respectively exercised in full their warrants for an
aggregate purchase price of $1.4 million.
Our secured revolving credit facility allows us to borrow up to
a maximum amount equal to the lesser of (i) up to
$8 million from September 1 through December 31
of each year and up to $5 million from January 1 through
August 31 of each year; or (ii) 75% of the value of
our inventory. Amounts borrowed under this credit facility bear
interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of the
current prime rate plus 0.5% or 4%. During the term of the
credit facility, we are obligated to pay interest amounts owed
monthly. In November 2004, through December 31, 2004, the
availability under the secured credit facility was increased by
$3 million to $15 million. Advances on the additional
$3 million were repaid prior to December 31, 2004. All
principal and unpaid interest under the credit facility is due
August 2006. Our repayment obligations under the credit facility
are secured by a first lien on our assets and are guaranteed by
entities affiliated with Softbank Capital Partners, one of our
principal stockholders. As of March 21, 2005, we had no
indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility.
Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated net
sales, increased expenses or other events, may cause us to seek
additional debt or equity financing in the future. Financing may
not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure
to raise capital when needed could negatively impact our growth
plans and our financial condition and results of operations.
Additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of
our common stock and debt financing, if available, may involve
significant cash payment obligations and covenants and/or
financial ratios that restrict our ability to operate our
business.
Future payments due under contractual obligations as of
December 31, 2004 are listed below:

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
Outstanding Stock Options
As of December 31, 2004, we had outstanding vested options
to purchase approximately 436,000 shares of common stock,
at a weighted average exercise price of $10.33 per share,
and outstanding unvested options to purchase approximately
10,000 shares of common stock, at a weighted average price
of $33.79 per share. The per share value of each share of
common stock underlying the vested options, based on the
difference between the weighted average exercise price per
option and the estimated fair market value of the shares at the
dates of the grant of the options (also referred to as intrinsic
value), ranges from $0 to $16.25 per share. The average
exercise price per share for the vested options is greater than
the Companys initial public offering price. The average
exercise price per share for the unvested options is greater
than the estimated fair market value of the shares at the date
of grant and the Companys initial public offering price.
38
The fair market values of the shares at the dates of grant were
originally estimated by our board of directors, with input from
management. We did not obtain contemporaneous valuations by an
unrelated valuation specialist because we based these valuations
on preliminary, informal discussions with the investment banks
in our initial public offering. Determining the fair value of
our stock requires making complex and subjective judgments. We
used two separate valuation approaches for our valuations. These
approaches were the Comparable Company Analysis (or Market
Multiple) Approach and the Discounted Cash Flow Approach. Using
these approaches we calculated an enterprise value range.
Under the Market Multiple Approach, we utilized external market
pricing evidence for companies involved in lines of business
similar to us. Pricing multiples, in particular enterprise value
to revenue, were calculated using publicly available
information. We selected multiples based on a risk assessment of
Odimo relative to companies deemed comparable to us. Under the
Discounted Cash Analysis Approach, we utilized our projected
financial statements and estimates of working capital to
estimate free cash flows. The free cash flows (on a debt-free
basis) were discounted at a rate that reflected the uncertainty
associated with achievement of such cash flows. A value was
calculated assuming a sale of Odimo in year two (2005) and
this amount was discounted to the present at the same
risk-adjusted rate utilized for the cash flows. The results of
each approach were weighted (the Market Multiple was weighted
75% and the Discounted Cash Flow was weighted 25%).
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates,
including those related to allowances for sales returns,
inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies
and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more
detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements
included in this report, we believe the policies discussed below
are the most critical to understanding our financial position
and results of operations.
We recognize revenue from product sales or services rendered
when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met:
(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
(2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
(3) the selling price is fixed or determinable and
(4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Product sales, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return
allowances, are recorded when the products are delivered and
title passes to customers. We require payment before shipping
products, so we estimate receipt of delivery by our customers
based on shipping time data provided by our carriers. Retail
items sold to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract
that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon
delivery to the customer. Return allowances, which reduce
product revenue by our best estimate of expected product
returns, are estimated using historical experience.
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are
accounted for using the first-in first-out method, and are
valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation
requires us to make judgments, based on currently-available
information, about the likely method of disposition, such as
through sales to individual customers, returns to product
vendors or liquidations, and expected recoverable

values of each disposition category. Based on this evaluation,
we record a valuation write-down, when needed, to adjust the
carrying amount of our inventories to lower of cost or market
value.

|
Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets |
Our long-lived assets include goodwill and other intangible
assets. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142) requires that goodwill be tested for
impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in
certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairment
test requires significant judgment to estimate the fair value,
including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate
discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates
and assumptions could materially affect the determination of
fair value. For 2004 and 2003, we have determined that we have
one reporting unit. Using the income approach, we performed
annual assessments of goodwill and concluded that there were no
impairments.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS 144), requires that we record
an impairment charge on finite-lived intangibles or long-lived
assets to be held and used when we determine that the carrying
value of intangible assets and long-lived assets may not be
recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of
impairment, we measure any impairment of intangibles or
long-lived assets based on a projected discounted cash flow
method using a discount rate determined by our management to be
commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model. Our
estimates of cash flows require significant judgment based on
our historical results and anticipated results and are subject
to many factors.
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized by applying statutory tax rates in effect in the
years in which the differences between the financial reporting
and tax filing bases of existing assets and liabilities are
expected to reverse. We have considered future taxable income
and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in
assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our
deferred tax assets. We have recorded a full valuation allowance
against our deferred tax assets since we have determined that it
is more likely than not that we may not be able to realize our
deferred tax asset in the future.
We account for our employee compensation plans under the
recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations. We amortize
stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the
vesting period of the related options, which is generally four
years.
We have recorded deferred stock-based compensation representing
the difference between the option exercise price and the deemed
fair value of our common stock on the grant date for financial
reporting purposes. We determined the deemed fair value of our
common stock based upon several factors, including independent
third party valuations. Had different assumptions or criteria
been used to determine the deemed fair value of our common
stock, different amounts of stock-based compensation would have
been reported.
Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share
is required in order to show our net loss as if we had accounted
for employee stock options under the fair value method of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition Disclosure. This information is contained in
Notes 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The fair
values of options and shares issued pursuant to our option plan
at each grant date were estimated using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123
(Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123(R)),
Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires
companies to expense the estimated fair value of stock
40
options and similar equity instruments issued to employees.
Currently, companies are required to calculate the estimated
fair value of these share-based payments and can elect to either
include the estimated cost in earnings or disclose the pro forma
effect in the footnotes to their financial statements. As
discussed above, the Company has chosen to disclose the pro
forma effect. The fair value concepts were not changed
significantly in SFAS No. 123(R); however, in adopting
SFAS N0. 123(R), companies must choose among alternative
valuation models and amortization assumptions.
The valuation model and amortization assumption used by the
Company continues to be available, however, the Company has not
yet completed its assessment of the alternatives.
SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for the Company
beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2005.
Transition options allow companies to choose whether to adopt
prospectively, restate results to the beginning of the year, or
to restate prior periods with the amounts that have been
included in the footnotes. The Company has not yet concluded on
which transition option it will select. See above for the pro
forma effect for the each of the periods presented, using our
existing valuation and amortization assumptions.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(FIN 46), which addresses consolidation of
variable interest entities by business enterprises that either:
(1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support, or (2) in which the
enterprise will hold a significant variable interest, or will
have significant involvement. FIN 46 is effective as of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.
However, an October 2003 FASB Staff Position deferred the
effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for
interests held by public entities in variable interest entities
or potential variable interest entities created before
February 1, 2003 and non-registered investment companies.
We have no interests in variable interest entities and the
adoption of FIN 46 did not have an impact on our results of
operations or the financial position.

Item 7A. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
Our exposure to market risk due to changes in interest rates
relates primarily to the increase or decrease in the amount of
interest income we can earn on our investment portfolio. Our
risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to
our investments in interest rate sensitive financial
instruments. Under our current policies, we do not use interest
rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate
changes. We attempt to increase the safety and preservation of
our invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market
risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by
investing in investment grade securities. A hypothetical
100 basis point adverse move in interest rates along the
entire interest rate yield curve would not materially affect the
fair value of our interest sensitive financial instruments due
to their relatively short term nature. Declines in interest
rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income while
increases in interest rates over time will increase our interest
income.

Item 9A. |
Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In
41
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures.
As required by Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the
reasonable assurance level.
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial
reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Odimo Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Odimo Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as
of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the accompanying Index at
Item 15. These financial statements and the financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Business Odimo Incorporated and subsidiaries
(the Company) is an online retailer of brand name
watches, luxury goods, high quality diamonds and fine jewelry.
The Company was incorporated in January 1998 and is based in
Sunrise, Florida. The Company currently operates three web
sites, www.diamond.com, www.ashford.com, and
www.worldofwatches.com.
Operating Losses and Liquidity The Company
has had significant losses since inception and has not generated
positive net cash flows from operations. In addition, as of
December 31, 2004, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $10.4 million. Based on the Companys
strategy for 2005, the Company believes that its current cash
and cash equivalents, availability from its secured credit
facility (see Note 7), expected cash from operations and
net proceeds from its recently completed initial public offering
(IPO) (see Note 14) will be sufficient to fund
its operations and capital expenditures for at least the next
twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Companys strategy will be accomplished and will generate
sufficient cash flows to meet the Companys cash flows and
working capital needs.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation The consolidated
financial statements reflect the financial position and results
of operations of Odimo Incorporated and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (generally
accepted accounting principles) requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, the 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. Some of the more significant estimates include the
reserve for sales returns, the carrying value of inventories,
goodwill and other long-lived assets, the deferred tax asset
valuation reserve, and the estimated fair value of stock based
compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Risk The Company maintains
the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in accounts with
one financial institution in the United States of America, in
the form of demand deposits and money market accounts. Deposits
in this bank may exceed the amounts of insurance provided on
such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its
deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
the Company purchased a significant portion of its diamonds from
several affiliated diamond suppliers. In addition, the Company
purchases watches, jewelry and luxury goods from unaffiliated
vendors with whom the Company does not maintain a contractual
relationship. During the years ended December 31, 2004,
2003 and 2002, the Company did not purchase goods from any
unaffiliated vendor that represented more than 10% of the
Companys total purchases from unaffiliated vendors.
Other Risks The Company is subject to certain
risks which include, but are not limited to: brand owners
objections to the Companys pricing on sales of merchandise
purchased in the parallel markets, non-guaranteed supply of
watches and luxury goods, the sale of decoded watches in certain
states, susceptibility to general economic downturns,
competition from traditional retailers, dependence on
third-party carriers, dependence on the Internet and related
security risks, and the uncertain ability to protect proprietary
intellectual property.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
F-7
ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of
cash pledged as collateral to a credit card processing company.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are
carried at amounts management deems collectible. Accordingly, an
allowance is provided in the event an account is considered
uncollectible. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, no such
allowances have been provided as management believes all
accounts receivable at such dates are fully collectible.
Inventories Inventories, which consist of
brand name watches, luxury goods, diamonds, and diamond-related
and fine jewelry are stated at the lower of cost (using the
first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company records a
write-down, as needed, to adjust the carrying amount of the
specific inventory item to lower of cost or market. During the
year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded
approximately $40,000 of inventory write-downs. No inventory
write-downs were recorded during the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002. The Company also maintains
consigned inventories, consisting primarily of diamonds and
watches, of approximately $1.5 million and
$5.9 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, which are displayed on the Companys
websites. The consigned diamonds (through March 2004) were under
certain exclusive supply agreements with related parties (see
Note 13). The cost of these consigned inventories and the
related contingent obligation are not included in the
Companys consolidated balance sheets. At the time
consigned inventories are sold and the sale is recorded, the
Company also records the cost of the merchandise purchased in
accounts payable and in cost of sales.
Deposits with Vendors Deposits with vendors
represent amounts paid to suppliers for merchandise purchase
orders. Such deposits are applied to orders as they are received.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance
costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized by the
straight-line method over the remaining term of the applicable
lease or their useful lives, whichever is shorter. The cost and
related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets sold
or otherwise disposed of is removed from the accounts and the
related gain or loss is reported in the consolidated statement
of operations.
Software and Website Development Costs The
Company capitalizes internally developed software and website
development costs in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use and Emerging Issues Task Force
00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs.
Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful life of the software once it is available
for use. The ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized
software development costs requires considerable judgment by
management with respect to estimated economic life and changes
in software and hardware technologies.
Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets,
including property and equipment and intangible assets, are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets is initially estimated by
comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the net future
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
To the extent future undiscounted cash flows are less than the
carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized.
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of
the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to
net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business
acquired in 2000 and accounted for under the purchase method.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets(SFAS No. 142). With the
adoption of
F-8
ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to
amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual
assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test.
The Company completed its annual assessment as of
December 31, 2004 and determined that there was no
impairment of goodwill.
Intangible Assets Intangible assets are
recorded at amortized cost and consist primarily of
marketing-related intangible assets (trademarks, trade-names and
Internet domain names). Intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful life which range
from 4 to 5 years.
Warranty Costs The Company records an accrual
for costs that it estimates will be needed to cover future
product warranty obligations for watches sold. This estimate is
based upon the Companys historical experience as well as
current sales levels.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The
carrying amounts of the Companys cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities and debt approximate their carrying fair values due
to their short-term nature as of December 31, 2004 and
2003. The fair value of the stockholder notes approximate fair
value primarily because the notes bear interest at rates
comparable to the market rates for debt instruments with similar
maturities and terms as of December 31, 2003.
Revenue Recognition Net sales consist of
revenue from the sale of the Companys products and
upgrades to the Companys standard free shipping, net of
estimated returns and promotional discounts. The Company
recognizes revenues when all of the following have occurred:
persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists;
products are shipped and the customer takes delivery and assumes
the risk of loss; the selling price is fixed or determinable;
and collectibility of the selling price is reasonably assured.
The Company has evaluated Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as
an Agent, and has determined it does not function as an
agent or broker for its suppliers; therefore, the Company has
recorded the gross amount of product sales and related costs
instead of a net amount earned.
The Company requires payment at the point of sale. Any amounts
received prior to delivery of goods to customers are recorded as
deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the
Company had deferred revenue of approximately $93,000 and
$466,000, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company
offers a return policy of generally 15 to 30 days and
provides a reserve for sales returns during the period in which
the sales are made. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the
reserve for sales returns was approximately $333,000 and
$355,000, respectively, and was recorded as an accrued liability
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Net sales and
cost of sales reported in the consolidated statement of
operations are reduced to reflect estimated returns.
Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes the cost
of products sold to customers, including inbound shipping costs
and assembly costs. Cost of sales also includes amortization of
the inventory-related intangible asset (see Note 6). For
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the
Company recorded amortization of approximately $84,000, $61,000,
and $162,000, respectively, related to the inventory-related
intangible asset, which is included in cost of sales in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Fulfillment Expenses Fulfillment expenses
include outbound freight paid by the Company (approximately
$2.0 million, $1.4 million, and $1.0 million for
each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively), commissions paid to sales associates, credit card
processing fees and packaging and other shipping supplies.
Commissions are paid based on a percentage of the price of goods
sold and are expensed when the goods are sold.
Marketing Expenses Marketing expenses consist
primarily of online advertising costs, affiliate program fees
and commissions, public relations costs and other marketing
expenses. Advertising costs are
F-9
ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
expensed as incurred. Costs of advertising associated with print
and other media are expensed when such services are used. Costs
associated with web portal advertising contracts are amortized
over the period such advertising is expected to be used.
Advertising expense was approximately $4.0 million,
$2.1 million, and $1.6 million for each of the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses General
and administrative expenses include payroll and related employee
benefits (including employee stock-based compensation), costs to
maintain the Companys websites, professional fees,
insurance, rent, travel and other general corporate expenses.
Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts
for stock-based compensation paid to employees using the
intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 (APB Opinion 25), Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations
including Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for
Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25
(FIN 44). Compensation for stock options
granted to employees (including members of its board of
directors), if any, is measured as the excess of the market
price of the Companys stock at the date of grant over the
amount the employee must pay to purchase the stock. Any
compensation expense related to such grants are deferred and
amortized to expense over the vesting period of the related
options.
Compensation expense related to options granted to non-employees
is calculated using the fair-value based method of accounting
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123
established accounting and disclosure requirements using a
fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation plans. The Company has elected to account for stock
options granted to employees, as prescribed by APB
Opinion 25, and has adopted the disclosure-only
requirements of SFAS No. 123.
Had compensation cost for the Companys stock options been
determined based on the fair value of the options at the date of
grant, the Companys pro forma net loss attributable to
common stockholders and net loss per share would have been as

The fair value of each option grant under the Companys
stock incentive plan is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average fair
value of stock options granted during each of the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $5.25, $2.75, and
$1.50, respectively. The following weighted average assumptions

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123
(Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123(R)),
Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires
companies to expense the estimated fair value of stock options
and similar equity instruments issued to employees. Currently,
companies are required to calculate the estimated fair value of
these share-based payments and can elect to either include the
estimated cost in earnings or disclose the pro forma effect in
the footnotes to their financial statements. As discussed above,
the Company has chosen to disclose the pro forma effect. The
fair value concepts were not changed significantly in
SFAS No. 123(R); however, in adopting SFAS No.
123(R), companies must choose among alternative valuation models
and amortization assumptions.
The valuation model and amortization assumption used by the
Company continues to be available; however, the Company has not
yet completed its assessment of the alternatives.
SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for the Company
beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2005.
Transition options allow companies to choose whether to adopt
prospectively, restate results to the beginning of the year, or
to restate prior periods with the amounts that have been
included in the footnotes. The Company has not yet concluded on
which transition option it will select. See above for the pro
forma effect for the each of the periods presented herein, using
the Companys existing valuation and amortization
assumptions
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income
taxes in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach.
Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is
recognized with respect to all temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and with respect to the benefit from utilizing
tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to
the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or
rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation
allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more
likely than not these items will either expire before the
Company is able to realize their benefit, or that future
deductibility is prohibited or uncertain.
Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is
computed based on the average number of common shares
outstanding and diluted earnings per share is computed based on
the average number of common and potential common shares
outstanding under the treasury stock method. The calculation of
diluted loss per share was the same as the basic loss per share
for each period presented since the inclusion of potential
common stock in the computation would be antidilutive.
All of the Companys outstanding convertible preferred
stock, preferred stock warrants and stock options during the
respective periods have been excluded from the calculations
because the effect on net loss per share would have been
antidilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
dividends to preferred stockholders includes approximately
$5.7 million, $4.5 million, $4.0 million of
undeclared dividends on the Companys convertible preferred
stock. For the year ended December 31, 2004 dividends to
preferred stockholders also includes approximately
$9.7 million related to the issuance of Series C
convertible preferred stock to existing stockholders (see
Notes 8 and 13). This amount represents the excess of the
estimated fair value of the Series C preferred stock over
the consideration received by the Company.
Segments The Company has one operating
segment, online retail of brand name watches, other luxury
goods, diamonds, and fine jewelry. No foreign country or
geographic area accounted for more than 10% of net sales in any
of the periods presented and the Company does not have any
long-lived assets located in foreign countries.
Stock Splits On January 24, 2005, the
Company effected a 1 for 25 reverse split of its common stock
and convertible preferred stock. All references to the number of
shares, per share amounts and any other references to shares in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the
notes, unless otherwise indicated, have been adjusted to reflect
the reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis. Previously
awarded stock options and preferred stock warrants have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits.
New Accounting Pronouncement In January 2003,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(FIN 46), which addresses consolidation of
variable interest entities by business enterprises that either:
(1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support, or (2) in which the
enterprise will hold a significant variable interest, or have
significant involvement. FIN 46 is effective as of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.
However, an October 2003 FASB Staff Position deferred the
effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 for
interests held by public entities in variable interest entities
or potential variable interest entities created before
February 1, 2003 and non-registered investment companies.
The Company has no interests in variable interest entities and
the adoption of FIN 46 did not have an impact on the
results of operations or the financial position of the Company.
In December 2002, the Company executed an asset purchase
agreement (the Agreement) with Ashford.com Inc.
(Ashford), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GSI
Commerce, Inc. (GSI), setting forth the terms and
conditions of the asset purchase. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Company purchased the www.ashford.com domain name and
related trademarks and tradenames, incomplete individual
customer information (e.g., e-mail addresses with no
physical address, e-mail addresses with no additional
corresponding customer information, names and addresses with no
e-mail address, etc.) for customers who had placed orders
through the www.ashford.com website during the nine
months that GSI operated it (which did not include any customers
prior to GSIs acquisition of Ashford) (the Purchased
Assets), and limited items of pre-selected remaining
inventory (the Pre-Selected Inventory).
In consideration for the Purchased Assets, the Company issued
GSI a $4.5 million secured subordinated note payable over
five years and approximately 624,000 shares (and warrants
to purchase approximately 107,000 shares) of the
Companys Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the
Series D) with an estimated fair value of
approximately $2.7 million, for a total consideration of
approximately $7.2 million. The Company has assigned the
value of the total consideration given to a marketing related
intangible asset with an estimated useful life of four years
(see Note 6). None of the consideration given was assigned
to a customer related intangible asset as the Company was able
to subsequently determine that net sales to customers included
as part of the incomplete individual customer information
obtained was not significant compared to the Companys
total 2003 net sales.
F-12
ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
To accommodate the purchase, the Company also purchased the
Pre-Selected Inventory for approximately $1.1 million in
cash.
In addition, per the Agreement, GSI has a right to receive 10%
of the Companys annual consolidated EBITDA, if positive,
as defined in the Agreement (the EBITDA Payment),
from 2003 through 2007 up to a maximum aggregate amount of
$2.0 million. As of December 31, 2002, the Company
could not determine if the conditions requiring the EBITDA
Payment would be met and therefore did not record a liability as
of December 31, 2002. The Company will record the EBITDA
Payment when the conditions are met and the EBITDA Payment
becomes due. The conditions requiring payment have not been met
and therefore no amounts were recorded as of December 31,
2004 and 2003.

Other assets consist primarily of deposits and deferred offering
costs as of December 31, 2004. Amortization expense for
marketing-related intangible assets amounted to approximately
$1.8 million, $1.8 million, and $0.5 million for
each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Amortization expense for inventory-related
intangible assets is included in cost of sales (see Note 2).
As of December 31, 2003, the www.diamond.com domain
name and the affinity phone number assets were fully amortized.
During December 31, 2004, the 2000 Supply Agreement became
fully amortized and was written-off due to the related
agreements being terminated (see Note 13).
During June 2004, the Company entered into an amended supply
agreement with SDG Marketing, Inc. (SDG), which is
affiliated with a stockholder, to supply diamond inventory, see
Note 13. In connection with this transaction, the Company
recorded an inventory-related intangible asset of approximately
$0.4 million in June 2004, based on the estimated fair
value of the supply agreement.
The future amortization expense of the intangible assets as of
December 31, 2004 is as follows (in thousands):

In March 2004, the Company obtained a bank credit facility with
a local financial institution that allowed the Company to borrow
up to $3.0 million. The outstanding advances were charged
interest at the banks floating base rate. The bank credit
facility was guaranteed by certain stockholders, including the
Companys chief executive officer and president. The
guarantor stockholders had agreed to indemnify each
F-14

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
other against losses resulting from their guaranties for amounts
in excess of a certain amount calculated based on their pro rata
ownership of the Company. The Company repaid and terminated this
bank credit facility with an advance under the new secured
credit facility described below.
In July 2004, the Company entered into a new secured credit
facility with a national financial institution. Under the new
secured credit facility, the Company is able to borrow up to
either $7.0 million or $12.0 million depending on the
time of the year and subject to the Companys inventory
levels. Outstanding advances will be charged interest at the
greater of the lenders prime rate plus 0.5% or 4% (5.75%
at December 31, 2004). The new secured credit facility
matures in August 2006 and is secured by a first lien on the
Companys assets. In November 2004, the availability under
the new secured credit facility was increased to
$15 million through December 31, 2004. One of the
Companys stockholders has guaranteed the Companys
repayment obligation under the new secured credit facility. On
January 7, 2005, the credit facility was amended further
and allows the Company to borrow up to either $10.0 million
or $12.0 million depending on the time of year and subject
to the Companys inventory levels. Upon completion of the
sale of its common stock in the IPO, the Companys
borrowing capacity decreased to either $5.0 million or
$8.0 million depending on the time of year and subject to
the Companys inventory levels.
The Company also repaid the outstanding stockholder notes
described in Note 8 with the proceeds from the new credit
facility.
As of December 31, 2004, the amount outstanding under this
facility was approximately $9.3 million. The Company repaid
the amount outstanding during February 2005 with the proceeds
from its IPO. The Company currently has $5 million
available under the current bank credit facility.
As discussed in Note 3, during December 2002, the Company
issued a five year $4.5 million secured subordinated note
as part of the purchase price of the Purchased Assets. The
secured subordinated note bears interest at 7% per annum,
and required quarterly principal payments of $225,000 which
commenced in March 2003 and were to conclude in December 2007.
Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at the same time the
quarterly principal payments are required. The secured
subordinated note is collateralized by a lien on substantially
all of the Companys assets and is subordinate to any
indebtedness to fund the Companys working capital
requirements.
During October 2002, the Company issued to existing stockholders
$2.0 million of secured subordinated notes with warrants to
purchase approximately 43,000 shares of Series C
convertible preferred stock. The secured subordinated notes bear
interest at 8% per annum, and were scheduled to mature on
December 31, 2002. In December 2002, the notes were
subsequently amended and restated whereby the maturity date was
extended to December 31, 2004. No other terms of the notes
were amended or restated. The notes were secured by a first
priority security interest in all of the Companys right,
title and interest in and to all of the assets of the Company.
The warrants were valued at approximately $375,000 (see
Note 11) and were recorded as a discount on the notes. The
Company recognized interest expense related to the amortization
of the discount on the notes of approximately $174,000,
$172,000, and $29,000, during each of the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In March 2004, $2.0 million of stockholder notes and
accrued interest of approximately $211,000 were exchanged for
approximately 223,000 shares of Series C, with
warrants to purchase approximately 34,000 shares of
Series C at approximately $9.00 per share. The
Series C and warrants were valued at approximately
$6.4 million based on the estimated fair value of the
Companys Series C with consideration given to the
anticipated initial public offering. The warrants are
exercisable effective March 20, 2004 and expire
March 20, 2014. The difference of approximately
$4.1 million between the estimated fair value of the
Series C and warrants and the approximately
$2.3 million carrying value (including approximately
$211,000 of accrued interest) of the stockholder notes was
recorded as a preferred dividend to the Series C
stockholders.
In April 2004, $730,000 of stockholder notes were exchanged for
approximately 82,000 shares of Series C, with warrants
to purchase approximately 12,000 shares of Series C at
approximately $9.00 per share. The Series C and
warrants were valued at approximately $2.4 million based on
the estimated fair value of the Companys Series C
with consideration given to the anticipated initial public
offering. The warrants are exercisable effective April 28,
2004 and expire April 28, 2014. The difference of
approximately $1.6 million between the estimated fair value
of the Series C and warrants and the $730,000 carrying
value of the stockholder notes was recorded as a preferred
dividend to the Series C stockholder.
In August 2004, the balance of the stockholder notes were repaid
with proceeds from the new bank credit facility discussed in
Note 7. In February 2005, all warrants were exercised
immediately prior to the completion of the Companys
initial public offering. See Note 14.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $49.7 million as of December 31, 2004.
The Companys net operating loss carryforwards will expire
beginning in 2019 through 2024. Because it is not more likely
than not that sufficient tax earnings will be generated to
utilize the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred
tax assets, a corresponding valuation allowance of approximately
$20.9 million and $18.3 million was established as of
December 31, 2004, and 2003 respectively. Additionally,
under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and benefits
from, net operating losses may be limited in certain
circumstances, including a change in control. The Company has
not completed its evaluation as to whether its net operating
loss carryforwards will be limited as a result of its recently
completed IPO.

currently believes, after considering a number of factors and
the nature of the contingencies to which the Company is subject,
that the ultimate disposition of these contingencies either
cannot be determined at the present time or will not have,
individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on
its financial position or results of operations.
The Company acquires most of the brand name watches and luxury
goods products it sells through the parallel market (products
are not obtained directly from the brand owners or their
authorized distributors). The Company has received in the past,
and anticipates that it will receive in the future,
communications from brand owners alleging that certain items
sold through the Companys websites infringe on such brand
owners trademarks, patents, copyrights and other
intellectual property rights. The Company is also subject to
lawsuits by brand owners and their authorized distributors based
on infringement claims.
Employment Agreements In July 2004 (and as
amended in August 2004), the Company entered into employment
agreements with four of its executives which provide for an
initial term of three years with successive one year extensions
unless the Company or the employee provides notice of the intent
not to renew the agreement. Under such agreements, the base
salaries of these executives collectively amount to
$910,000 per year, plus discretionary annual cash bonuses
determined by the Companys board of directors. The
agreements also contain certain non-compete and
change of control provisions.

ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Issuances During September 2003, the Company
sold 56,000 shares of Series C and warrants to
purchase approximately 8,000 shares of Series C to an
existing stockholder for $500,000 in cash.
Conversion and Dividend Features Each share
of Series A, B, C and D is convertible, at the option of
the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at
any time. Additionally, the shares are mandatorily convertible
into common stock upon the Company completing an IPO which
results in net proceeds to the Company of at least
$30 million and the value of the Company immediately prior
to such IPO is at least $150 million. The Company entered
into a warrant exercise and preferred stock conversion agreement
which amended the mandatory conversion feature of the Preferred
Stock to provide that the Preferred Shares are mandatorily
convertible into common stock upon the Company completing an IPO
closing (the Conversion Agreement, see Note 14).
The holders of Series D convertible preferred stock are
entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per annum of
the original Series D issue price prior to any dividend
distributions being made by the Company to any of its other
stockholders. Subject to the prior rights of Series D, the
holders of Series C, and subject to the prior rights of
Series D and C, the holders of Series B, and subject
to the prior rights of Series D, C and B, the holders of
Series A are also entitled to receive dividends at a rate
of 8% per annum. Dividends will be payable when and if
declared by the board of directors and shall be cumulative,
except for Series A. To date, the board of directors has
not declared any such dividends.
Common shares issuable upon conversion for Series B in the
tables above include approximately 37,000 shares issuable
to Series B holders as a result of anti-dilution adjustment
provisions of the Series B.
Liquidation Preferences In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or upon
any event which constitutes a deemed liquidation event, either
voluntary or involuntary, any payments or distributions to be
received by the stockholders of the Company shall be made in the
order of priority as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Holders of Series D preferred stock are entitled to
receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of
the assets of the Company to the other stockholders including
holders of any other series of convertible preferred stock, by
reason of their ownership thereof, in cash, an amount per share
equal to (a) if the valuation of the Company in connection
with a liquidation event is $70 million or less, then 10%
of such valuation amount, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends,
or (b) if the valuation amount is more than
$70 million, then $7 million plus 20% of the valuation
amount in excess of $70 million, plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends. If the assets are insufficient to permit
payment of the Series D liquidation amount in full to all
holders of Series D, the assets will be distributed ratably
to the holders of Series D in proportion to the amount each
such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. |
|
|
|
After payment of the Series D liquidation amount to the
holders of Series D to the extent there are additional
assets available for distribution to stockholders, the holders
of Series C are entitled to receive, prior and in
preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the
Company to the holders of Series A, Series B and
common stockholders, by reason of their ownership thereof, in
cash, an amount per share equal to two times the original
Series C issue price, plus any accrued but unpaid
dividends. If the assets are insufficient to permit payment of
the Series C liquidation amount in full to all holders of
Series C, the assets will be distributed ratably to the
holders of Series C in proportion to the amount each such
holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. |
|
|
|
After payment of the Series C liquidation amount to the
holders of Series C to the extent there are additional
assets available for distribution to stockholders, the holders
of Series B are entitled to receive, prior and in
preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the
Company to the holders of Series A and common stockholders,
by reason of their ownership thereof, in cash, an amount per
share equal to the original Series B issue price, plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends. |

If the assets are insufficient to permit payment of the
Series B liquidation amount in full to all holders of
Series B, the assets will be distributed ratably to the
holders of Series B in proportion to the amount each such
holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. |
|
|

After payment of the Series B liquidation amount to the
holders of Series B to the extent there are additional
assets available for distribution to stockholders, the holders
of Series A are entitled to receive, prior and in
preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the
Company to the common stockholders, by reason of their ownership
thereof, in cash, an amount per share equal to the original
Series A issue price, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. |
Preferred Stock Warrants In 2002, in
connection with the issuance of $2.0 million in stockholder
notes (see Note 8), the Company issued warrants to purchase
approximately 43,000 shares of Series C at
$9.00 per share. The warrants were valued at approximately
$375,000 as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model and were recorded as a discount on the notes. The warrants
are exercisable effective December 31, 2002 and expire
December 31, 2012.
Additionally, in 2002, in connection with the issuance of
Series D (see Note 3), the Company issued warrants to
purchase 107,000 shares of Series D at
$0.25 per share. The warrants were valued at approximately
$384,000, as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model and taking into effect the liquidation preferences. The
warrants are exercisable effective December 6, 2002 and
expire December 6, 2012.
In connection with the September 2003 issuance of Series C
discussed above, the Company issued warrants to purchase
approximately 8,000 shares of Series C at
approximately $9.00 per share. The warrants were valued at
approximately $73,000 as determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The warrants are exercisable effective
September 15, 2003 and expire September 14, 2013.
Additionally, in 2003, in connection with the issuance of
$3.0 million of stockholder notes, the Company issued
warrants to purchase approximately 50,000 shares of
Series C at approximately $9.00 per share. The
warrants were valued at approximately $436,000 as determined
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and were recorded
as a discount on the notes and amortized to interest expense. In
December 2003, the $3.0 million of stockholder notes were
repaid by the Company. The warrants are exercisable effective
September 15, 2003 and expire September 14, 2013.
During March 2004 and April 2004, the Company issued warrants to
purchase approximately 34,000 shares and
12,000 shares, respectively, of Series C (see
Note 8).

ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has approximately
3,268,000 shares of common stock reserved for future
conversions of convertible preferred stock and warrants. All
shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants were
converted immediately prior to the Companys IPO in
February 2005. (See Note 14).
The Company adopted its employee stock option plan in 1999. The
Plan was amended in April 2004 and renamed the Odimo
Incorporated Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the
Plan) and reserved for issuance an aggregate of
559,391 shares under the Plan. The Plan is administered by
the compensation committee of the board of directors, which has
discretion over who will receive awards, the type of the awards,
the number of shares awarded, and the vesting terms of the
awards.
Options granted under the Plan generally vest ratably over the
vesting period, which is generally 3 years. Vested options
expire 2 to 10 years after vesting. Once vested, the
options become exercisable upon the occurrence of a
realization event (i.e., an IPO, merger,
etc.) as defined in the Plan. Upon either an involuntary or
voluntary termination of employment, vested options are not
forfeited, and must be exercised within three months after a
realization event. Options granted under the Plan
are generally granted at fair value on the date of the grant.
The Company has historically determined the fair value of its
shares through the consideration of previous sales of shares to
third parties and independent appraisals.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company accounts for
stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance
with APB Opinion 25 and FIN 44. Under APB Opinion 25,
compensation expense is recognized as the difference between the
fair value of the Companys stock on the date of grant and
the exercise price. During the years ended December 31,
2003 and 2002, the Company issued options to certain employees
under the Plan with exercise prices at or above the estimated
fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date
of the grant; therefore no deferred stock-based compensation was
recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Deferred stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting
period of the awards, generally three years. During the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded
compensation expense of approximately $2,000 and $39,000,
respectively, related to the amortization of deferred
stock-based compensation.
During 2004 the Company granted employees options to purchase
approximately 290,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $8.75 per share, of which approximately
1,000 shares vest over 3 years and the remaining
shares vested immediately. Two-thirds of the shares issuable
under these options are subject to contractual restrictions on
transfer: one-third of the shares issuable upon exercise of the
options may only be transferred after the first anniversary of
the grant date, and one-third may only be transferred after the
second anniversary grant date. The Company recorded
approximately $4.7 million of stock-based compensation
expense, based on the estimated fair value of the Companys
common stock, with consideration given to the anticipated
initial public offering.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to
non-employees in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18,
Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other
Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services (EITF 96-18).
EITF 96-18 requires such equity instruments be recorded at
estimated fair value on the measurement date. During the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded
expenses of approximately $7,000 and $26,000 related to the
issuance of stock options to non-employees which is included in
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. No stock options were
issued to non-employees during the year ended December 31,
2002.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Diamond Purchases and Sales The Company
purchases certain of its diamonds from SDG, and certain other
entities (collectively, the Suppliers) affiliated
with certain stockholders and directors of the Company. During
each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
purchases from the Suppliers totaled approximately
$9.4 million, $2.9 million, and $1.0 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the total
amount payable to the Suppliers was approximately
$5.7 million and $993,000, respectively. During 2004 the
Company sold approximately $0.3 million of diamonds to
entities affiliated with certain stockholders. These diamonds
were purchased from unaffiliated parties.
Supply Agreement Certain of the purchases
described above were made under exclusive supply agreements that
were entered into with these entities in January 2000. Pursuant
to the terms of these agreements, the Suppliers would supply the
Company on consignment an inventory of diamonds to be held at
the Companys offices and a list of certain Suppliers
inventory to be available for advertisement and display on the
Companys web site.
During 2000, in connection with the exclusive supply agreements,
the Company issued approximately 49,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $15.00 per share to the Suppliers or
their affiliates. The Company received cash proceeds of
approximately $740,000 from the sale of this common stock.
Management estimated the fair value of the Companys common
stock at such date was $47.75 per share. As such, the
Company recorded a deferred charge related to these issuances in
the amount of approximately $1,616,000. This deferred charge,
which is included in intangible assets as the 2000 Supply
Agreement (see Note 6), was being amortized to cost
of sales (see Note 2) based on the total amount of
estimated purchases under the terms of the agreement. In
connection with the 2004 Supply Agreement
F-23
ODIMO INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
entered into in March 2004 (as described below), which will
decrease the Companys emphasis on consigned inventory, the
Company terminated the exclusive supply agreements that were
entered into in January 2000.
Stock Purchase and Supply Agreement In March
2004, the Company entered into an agreement with SDG, pursuant
to which SDG may provide the Company with $4.0 million of
independently certified diamonds through April 2007 at cash
market prices with extended payment terms. The Company sold to
SDG approximately 129,000 shares of Series C at
$9.75 per share in March 2004 and extended a right to this
affiliate to acquire an additional approximately
73,000 shares at $10.25 per share in the first quarter
of 2005 and approximately 67,000 shares at $11.25 per
share in the first quarter of 2006. In order to purchase the
second installment of shares, SDG must maintain a
$4.0 million supply of available inventory during 2004. In
order to purchase the third installment of shares, SDG must
maintain $5.0 million of available inventory during 2005.
If SDG purchases the third installment, it must supply the
Company with $6.0 million of diamond inventory shortly
thereafter. In addition, the Company granted SDG the right of
first refusal to provide the Company diamonds and fine jewelry
based on the Companys projected purchase needs.
During June 2004, the Company amended the stock purchase
agreement whereby SDG is no longer required to maintain the
indicated level of inventory in order to obtain the right to
purchase the remaining shares under the terms of the original
agreement. Upon execution of the amended agreement, SDG
exercised its right to purchase the remaining shares, for which
the Company received $1.5 million during June 2004. In
addition, during June 2004 the Company entered into a separate
supply agreement which obligates SDG to supply inventory that
includes similar terms related to the supply of available
inventory through 2006 as described above. In connection with
this transaction, the Company recorded preferred dividends of
approximately $2.2 million and $1.7 million during
March 2004 and June 2004, respectively, based on the excess of
the estimated fair value of the Companys Series C
(with consideration given to the anticipated initial public
offering) over the consideration received by the Company.
Other Inventory Purchases The Company
purchases watches from an entity controlled by a stockholder who
formerly owned and controlled www.worldofwatches.com.
During each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002, the Company had purchases from the entity controlled by
the stockholder of approximately $2.9 million,
$3.2 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the total amounts payable to
the entity controlled by the stockholder was $0 and $62,000,
respectively.
Use of Jet Aircraft From time to time, the
Company reimburses Mey-Al Corporation, an entity owned and
controlled by the Companys President and CEO, for the use
of an aircraft by the executive officers of the Company for
business-related purposes. For the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid Mey-Al Corporation an
aggregate amount of approximately $84,000, $57,000, and $22,000,
respectively, for the use of the aircraft.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING |
The Company completed an initial public offering of
3,125,000 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share on
February 15, 2005 (closed on February 18, 2005), which
generated net proceeds of approximately $22.4 million. On
the same date, in accordance with the Conversion Agreement
described in Note 11, holders of the Companys
preferred stock warrants, exercised their warrants into
approximately 147,000 and 107,000 shares of Series C
and Series D, respectively. These exercises generated
proceeds of approximately $1.4 million for the Company. In
addition, all holders of the Companys Series A, B, C
and D (including the shares from the exercise of warrants)
converted these shares into approximately 3,408,000 shares
of common stock.
