PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

        This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this filing. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. See Item 7 of Part II—"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Forward-Looking Statements."

History

        LTWC Corporation was originally known as E-Stamp Corporation, founded in 1994, and provided an Internet postage service that enabled users to purchase, download and print Internet postage directly from their personal computers without the need to maintain a persistent Internet connection. In May 2000, we acquired two companies, Infinity Logistics and Automated Logistics for a total purchase price of $9.0 million. These companies offered transportation management and warehouse management products and services that allowed enterprise customers to review carrier rates and shipping options, select a carrier, print shipping labels, track shipments and create shipping reports. During 2000, we undertook two corporate restructurings. In July 2000, we restructured the organization to accelerate the development, marketing and sales of our transportation management products and services in addition to our Internet postage business. In November 2000, we restructured the organization to phase out our Internet postage business. We incurred charges of approximately $20.3 million related to these restructurings, which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. On April 19, 2001, in connection with our then planned merger with Learn2.com, Inc., a publicly traded company, we discontinued our remaining transportation management business.

        On September 25, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Learn2.com, changed the name of our company from E-Stamp Corporation to Learn2 Corporation and assumed the on-going businesses of Learn2.com. Learn2.com's e-learning business included engaging online and physical learning and training products and complementary services, marketed to corporate, government and individual clients and customers and an e-mail marketing services business that provided permission e-mail marketing and tracking services. The services included e-mail creation, delivery, tracking and response analysis for a high volume of client e-mail accounts in a short period of time. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we issued approximately 37.8 million shares of our common stock. Each share of Learn2.com common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger automatically converted into the right to receive 0.4747 shares of our common stock resulting in our stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the merger owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding stock of the combined company. The former stockholders of Learn2.com, including Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder, received approximately 49.9% of the combined company. The total value of the transaction was approximately $19.2 million including approximately $6.6 million of assumed liabilities, transaction costs totaling approximately $5.2 million and a pre-closing payment of $1.0 million to Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

        On November 8, 2001, in connection with the merger, we undertook a corporate restructuring to outsource the packaging and shipping of our retail products to an outside fulfillment house and eliminate redundant functions. We incurred charges of approximately $89,000 related to this restructuring, which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001.

        On March 4, 2002, we announced that we would phase out our production and distribution operations in Pryor, Oklahoma and closed certain field sales operations and eliminated approximately

3



60 positions. Severance and related expenses attributable to the elimination of these positions were approximately $409,000 and are included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        On July 2, 2002, we announced that we would close our facility in Golden, Colorado and the elimination of approximately 20 positions throughout the organization. We incurred charges of approximately $110,000 related to this workforce reduction and this amount is included in our loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        On August 9, 2002, we sold our e-learning assets. As part of the agreement, we changed our name to LTWC Corporation. The consideration consisted of (1) an initial payment to us of $325,000, paid on August 9, 2002 and (2) earn-out payments of up to a maximum of $3.71 million. The earn-out payments were to be made monthly commencing on September 9, 2002, in each case, subject to reduction, until the earlier of 60 months from August 9, 2002, or the date on which the aggregate amount of the earn-out payments paid totals $3.71 million. In connection with the sale of our e-learning assets, we announced that we would focus our efforts on our permission e-mail marketing business.

        On March 28, 2003, we and certain subsidiaries entered into an agreement with the buyer of the e-learning assets whereby the buyer agreed to pay us $540,000 to buy-out the remaining earn-out payments and monies owed to us for consigned inventory and purchased receivables. As a result, we wrote-off the receivable representing the present value of the minimum earn-out payments to $540,000. The write-off of the receivable of approximately $563,000 and the write-off of amounts due on consigned inventory and purchased receivables totaling $42,000 were recorded as a charge to net loss (gain) on disposal of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        As used herein, LTWC Corporation, "we" "our" and similar terms include LTWC Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Permission E-Mail Marketing Overview

        We provide permission e-mail marketing and tracking services. Our services include e-mail creation, delivery, tracking and response analysis for a high volume of client e-mail accounts in a short period of time. Our goal is to be the preferred provider of full service and hosted, large-scale email broadcast campaigns. As set forth in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, our reported results of operations for all periods prior to September 25, 2001 do not reflect the results of Learn2.com. Furthermore, only our e-mail marketing services business is included in our results from continuing operations. Our other businesses are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Marketplace

        The permission e-mail marketing and tracking industry is in its early stages of development. We believe that the industry will evolve over the next few years as permission e-mail marketing becomes even more widely used and as traditional direct marketers leverage e-mail marketing in their businesses. The permission e-mail market is extremely competitive. Participants compete primarily in the following areas: reporting and tracking capabilities, customer service, ability to deliver to AOL, MSN and Yahoo e-mail addresses, brand recognition, ease of implementation, time-to-market of a campaign and price.

Competitive Strengths

        As one of the first permission e-mail marketing and tracking companies, we have managed thousands of permission e-mail campaigns. We are able to send over 100 million unique e-mail messages per day. Our proprietary technology allows for extensive data mining, broadcasting, tracking, and real-time reporting. We own substantially all of our mail transfer agent and APTracking ™-, or APT technologies. APT utilizes noninvasive technology, provides tracking and logging information and analysis that can cross application and server boundaries without requiring our clients to modify their HTML code or place cookies on a user's hard drive.

Products And Services

        Permission e-mail services—We offer list development and refinement, e-mail distribution, tracking and reporting. We charge for this service on a cost per thousand, or CPM, basis.

        List rental—Beginning in 2003, we sublicense e-mail addresses, that we have licensed from third parties. We charge for this service on a CPM basis.

        Tracking services—We offer APT services to customers who use our broadcast e-mail services, and as a standalone service. We charge for this service on a CPM basis.

        We offer consulting services to assist our clients in their implementation and deployment of our services within their organization.

Business Strategy And Strategic Direction

        Our goal is to be the preferred provider of full service and hosted, large-scale e-mail marketing campaigns. To achieve this goal we intend to expand our technologies, expand our service offerings and expand our distribution.

Customers

        The following customers individually accounted for more than 10% of our $3.3 million in revenue in 2002:

        In the first quarter of 2003, there was a significant decrease in revenue from Choicepoint. We may be unable to replace the lost revenue.

        Our competitors in the permission e-mail marketing and tracking arena include providers of e-mail based services such as: Double Click, Experian, Responsys, Digital Impact, and Cheetah Mail. The majority of our competitors operate with greater financial resources than we do.

Intellectual Property And Licenses

        Our success and ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely primarily on a combination of statutory and common law copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, customer licensing agreements, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. We have applied for a patent for our APT technology.

        We use employee and third-party confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements to protect our trade secrets and unpatented know-how. We require our employees to assign to us all rights in any proprietary information or technology made or contributed by the employee during his or her employment with us. In addition, we regularly enter into non-disclosure agreements with third parties including consultants, potential strategic partners and customers. Unfortunately, these agreements cannot guarantee the confidentiality of our trade secrets or unpatented know-how, nor can they prevent third parties from independently developing substantially equivalent proprietary information or copying, developing, or otherwise obtaining and using our proprietary information without authorization. We may resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation or proceedings, we may be in the future. An adverse outcome in a litigation or similar proceeding could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from others, or require us to cease marketing or using certain products or services. The cost of addressing any intellectual property litigation, both in legal fees and the diversion of management resources, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be significant.

        Third parties may claim that our current or future products infringe on their proprietary rights. We may be subject to these claims as the number of products and competitors in the marketplace overlap. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation or might require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or license agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Employees

        As of March 13, 2003, we had a total of eighteen employees, of whom seven were engaged in research and product development, eight in sales and marketing and three in general and administrative functions. Substantially all of our employees are co-employees with TriNet, an outsourced human resource provider, and work in our offices in Belmont, California. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement and we have not experienced any work stoppages. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good. However, our recent workforce reductions and poor financial performance will place additional strain on our people and may harm the morale and performance of our employees and our ability to hire new ones.

RISK FACTORS

        AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS EXCEPTIONALLY RISKY. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION IN OUR FORM 10-K AND OTHER SEC FILINGS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE AFFECTED MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY; THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

We need to raise additional funds and our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern; as of December 31, 2002 our current liabilities exceeded our current assets.

        As of December 31, 2002 we had $466,000 in cash and cash equivalents. We believe that this cash may not be adequate to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2002, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $580,000. Furthermore we have a $440,000 note payable with accrued interest due January 2004. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. In addition, the operating results for future periods are subject to numerous other uncertainties. Our ability to achieve positive cash flow depends upon the success of marketing our services, the costs of developing, producing, and marketing these services, new laws and regulations, general economic conditions and various other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. Many of our costs are fixed and are based on anticipated revenue levels. We may be unable to adjust our spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected shortfall in cash collections or revenues.

        Based on our current level of expenses, if our revenues and related cash collections are less than $1.0 million per quarter, or if our cash expenditures and payments continue to exceed cash collections, we would need to raise additional funds. Our current forecasted revenues and cash collections are less than $1.0 million for each of the quarters in 2003. Because we have never earned a profit, current liabilities exceed current assets and the market price of our common stock price is low, we believe that it will be extremely difficult to raise additional funds.

        We believe that if we restructure our existing obligations for approximately 10%-15% of their face amounts, exceed our cash collection targets by approximately $200,000 per quarter, recover from our insurance carriers claims we have filed, and favorably and timely resolve the lawsuits with Morrison & Foerster, Rydell, and other litigation matters, we will have sufficient resources for our operating requirements at least for the next twelve months. However, if each of the assumptions described in the preceding sentence are not actualized and we are unable to raise additional funds or sell assets, it is not likely that we will continue as a going concern.

We have a history of losses and an accumulated deficit; we may continue to experience losses.

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, we incurred a net loss of $15.8 million and for the year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred a net loss of $22.4 million. At December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $226.8 million. We may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We may never become profitable.

We are dependent on three customers for a significant portion of revenues.

        For the year ended December 31, 2002, three of our customers accounted for approximately 81.9% of our revenues. In the first quarter of 2003, there was a significant decrease in revenue from ChoicePoint. As a result, we may be unable to replace this lost revenue.

If the delivery of email messages is limited or blocked, then our clients may discontinue their use of our services. Mischaracterization of permission email we send on behalf of our clients as spam, or unsolicited commercial email, has and will continue to have an adverse effect on our business.

        We rely on our ability to deliver permission-based e-mails through Internet service providers such as America Online and email providers such as Yahoo and Hotmail. A significant percentage of our permission-based e-mails sent on behalf of our clients are sent to AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail e-mail accounts. We do not have, and are not required to have, agreements with these e-mail providers to deliver permission-based e-mails to their members. In addition, these e-mail providers and other Internet service providers are able to halt the delivery of our permission-based e-mails without prior warning or cause.

        The release of AOL version 8.0, which has features that enable AOL members to report any e-mail they receive as "spam", (whether or not that e-mail was solicited by the AOL member), has resulted in an increase of the number of complaints from AOL members to AOL. AOL has informed us that they may revoke our "white listed" status if the number of complaints that they receive does not decrease to a level they deem acceptable. To date this has not affected our business materially. However, if we are unable to deliver permission e-mails sent on behalf of our clients then we may lose certain clients and our business will be adversely and materially impacted.

Changes in laws relating to data collection and use practices and the privacy of internet users and other individuals could harm our business.

        Websites usually place certain information called "cookies" on a user's hard drive usually without the user's knowledge or consent. Websites use cookies for a variety of reasons. We employ the use of cookies on our websites. Certain Internet browsers allow users to modify their browser settings to remove cookies at any time or to prevent cookies from being stored on their hard drive. In addition, some Internet commentators, privacy advocates and governmental bodies have suggested limiting or eliminating the use of cookies. The effectiveness of our technology and products could be limited by any reduction or limitation in the use of cookies. In this regard, there are a large number of legislative proposals before the United States Congress, foreign governments and other international regulatory agencies regarding privacy issues and the regulation and use of cookies. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could adversely affect our business. This could be caused by, among other possible provisions, the requirement that permission be obtained before we use cookies.

We face legal uncertainties relating to the internet in general and to our industry in particular and may become subject to costly government regulation.

        The applicability to the Internet of existing laws is uncertain and developing with regard to many issues, including sales tax, intellectual property ownership and infringement, copyright, trademark, trade secret, obscenity, libel, export of encryption technology, solicited and unsolicited e-mail and personal privacy. There are an increasing number of laws and regulations pertaining to liability for information received from or transmitted over the Internet, online content regulation, user privacy, taxation and quality of products and services. In addition, it is possible that more laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, such as laws or regulations relating to user privacy, taxation, e-mail, pricing, Internet access, content, copyrights, distribution and characteristics and quality of products and services. Changes in existing laws and the adoption of additional laws or regulations may decrease the popularity or limit expansion of the Internet, especially for marketing services like we provide. A decline in the growth of the Internet could decrease demand for our services and increase our cost of doing business. We are currently defending claims that we violated certain statutes relating to the distribution of unsolicited e-mail. The defense of these actions may not be successful; we may be subject to further similar actions.

8



        California and several other states have enacted legislation regulating the sending of unsolicited commercial e-mail. Existing or future legislation regarding commercial e-mail may harm our business. The federal government, foreign governments and several other states are considering, or have considered, similar legislation. These provisions generally limit or prohibit both the transmission of unsolicited commercial e-mails and the use of forged or fraudulent routing and header information.

Our common stock is listed on the OTC bulletin board and is considered a "penny stock". Consequently you may be unable to sell our common stock readily or at all.

        The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including listing on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer is also subject to additional sales practice requirements. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of holders to sell these securities in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities.

We operate in a rapidly changing, competitive market and we may not have adequate resources to compete successfully.

        The permission e-mail market is evolving quickly and is subject to rapid technological change, shifts in customer demands and evolving industry standards. To succeed, we must continue to upgrade our technologies. We may not be able to do so successfully. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and customer preferences, or we have any significant delays in development or introduction of new products, our competitors may be able to attract and maintain a greater customer base. The permission e-mail market is characterized by significant price competition. This has resulted in reduced revenues, operating margins, and market share. Although the market is highly fragmented with no single competitor accounting for a dominant market share, competition is intense. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of their offerings and services. Several of our competitors have longer operating histories and most have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources.

Our future growth depends on our ability to retain key personnel, and we may be unable to hire and retain the skilled personnel we need to succeed.

        Our future growth and success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of Paul A. Goldman, our recently appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Recently Jerry Sandoval our President, Marc E. Landy, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer and several other key employees left our company to pursue other interests, including the principal developer of the Adaptive Proxy Tracking Technology. These resignations have placed significant strain on our organization. As a result, our ability to respond to unexpected challenges may be impaired and we may be unable to take advantage of new opportunities. In addition, these employees possessed specific knowledge or expertise, which is important to our continuing operations. Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense. Therefore, if we are unable to fill the gap created by these resignations, we may face significant difficulties. Further, these resignations have reduced employee morale and may create concern among potential and existing employees about their job security, which may lead to difficulty in hiring and increased turnover in our current workforce, and divert management's attention. Additionally, our recent workforce reductions and poor financial

9



performance has and will continue to place additional strain on our people and may harm the morale and performance of our employees and our ability to hire new ones. The loss of one or more key or other employees or our inability to attract additional qualified employees or retain other employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We face a risk of system failure.

        Our operations depend to a significant extent on our ability to maintain our computer and telecommunications systems. We must also protect our systems against damage from fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure or similar events. In addition, growth of our customer base may strain the capacity of our computer operations center and telecommunications systems and/or lead to degradations in performance or system failure. Any damage to or loss of our computer and telecommunications networks including our operations center could affect adversely the performance of our business. To date, we have not experienced system failures that have materially and adversely affected operations.

Unauthorized break-ins to our service could harm our business.

        Our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the inability to complete customer transactions. In addition, unauthorized persons may improperly access our data, which could harm us. Actions like these may be very expensive to remedy and could damage our reputation and discourage new and existing users from purchasing our products and services. To date, we have not experienced an unauthorized break-in or similar disruption that has adversely and materially affected operations.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which are costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future.

        Many parties are developing and improving technologies that compete with our proprietary technologies. We believe that these parties will continue to take steps to protect these technologies, including seeking patent protection. As a result, disputes regarding the ownership of these technologies could arise in the future. To date, claims against us alleging infringement of certain proprietary rights have not been material. Third parties may assert further claims against us alleging infringement of patents, copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret rights or other proprietary rights or alleging unfair competition. In the event that we determine that licensing patents or other proprietary rights is appropriate, we may not be able to license proprietary rights on reasonable terms or at all. As the number of products in our target markets increase and the functionality of these products further overlap, we have become subject to further infringement claims. We may incur substantial expenses in defending against third-party infringement claims regardless of the merit of those claims. In the event that there is a determination that we have infringed third-party proprietary rights, we could incur substantial monetary liability and be prevented from using the rights in the future.

Our intellectual property rights are costly and difficult to protect.

        We have a patent pending for our AdaptiveProxy Tracking technology. The principal developer of this technology left us recently. We may be unable to complete the patent process without his assistance. In the future, any patents that we have may be deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, or otherwise not provide us with any meaningful protection. Our success and ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property, which we protect through a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, trademark, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions and technical measures. None of these protections may be adequate to prevent our competitors from copying or reverse engineering our products, concepts, trade names and trade

10



dress. Furthermore, none of these protections prohibit our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technologies.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

        We lease a 7,788 square foot office in Belmont, California where substantially all of our employees work. The lease expires April 30, 2004 with a five-year renewal term. Our scheduled payments under the terms of the lease are $100,000 in 2003 and $33,333 in 2004.

        In connection with the merger with Learn2.com, we closed our Mountain View, California corporate headquarters office, originally leased on February 25, 2000, for a payment to the lessor of approximately $1.6 million. This amount is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 as part of gain on disposal of discontinued operations.

        In addition to the lease in Belmont, California referred to above, in connection with the merger with Learn2.com we assumed lease obligations for facilities in White Plains, New York and Golden, Colorado. In 2002, in settlement of these two obligations, we agreed to pay the lessors of these two facilities a total of $55,682 plus our security deposits of $174,562 related to those leases. The total payments of $190,667 for the White Plains, New York lease is included in the restructuring charge in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. The total of $39,577 for the Golden, Colorado lease is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        Also in connection with the merger with Learn2.com, we acquired a land and building in Pryor, Oklahoma. The land and building were sold in 2002 for $270,000. In 2002, we wrote down the building to its fair value of $270,000. The write-down of $718,000 is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        We believe our properties are suitable and adequate for our present and anticipated near term needs.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On March 16, 2001, Mr. Joseph Pavel filed a purported consumer class action suit against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings. The suit alleges that we breached our contract with the plaintiff and other customers. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and disgorgement of monies received in connection with the sale of Internet postage products. By agreement of the parties, the plaintiff dismissed the New York action and refiled in Santa Clara County, California on or about May 24, 2001. We filed the answer to the complaint on June 18, 2001. On February 20, 2002, the Court granted Plaintiff's motion for class certification. We reached a settlement with the Plaintiff and court has been approved for settlement. This settlement is not expected to have a material impact on the our financial position or results of operations.

        On February 6, 2002, Morrison & Foerster, a law firm, filed suit against a consolidated subsidiary of ours, in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County, California. The plaintiff alleges a violation of California Business & Professional Code, Section 17538.45 and 17200 et. seq., in connection with permission e-mail marketing services. The suit was later modified to include us as a defendant. The plaintiff seeks statutory damages, to enjoin us and the subsidiary from further violations of the specified statutes, costs and fees. We and the subsidiary are vigorously defending this action. These legal proceedings have resulted and can be expected to continue to result in expenses and the diversion of management time and other resources.

        On July 18, 2002, Joseph Rydell filed suit against us and certain other parties in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the State of Illinois. The plaintiff alleges a violation of the Illinois Electronic Mail Act and the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, in connection with permission e-mail marketing services. The plaintiff seeks actual and punitive damages, and costs and fees. We are vigorously defending this action. Pendency of these legal proceedings can be expected to result in expenses to us and the diversion of management time and other resources.

        In July 2002, we were sued by MicroAge, Inc., relating to a claim that Micro Age's payment to us of $163,800 in January 2000 is recoverable to MicroAge as a preference in MicroAge's bankruptcy in United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Arizona. The payment was for products and services delivered by us to MicroAge. In February 2003, we were notified that a default judgment had been entered on behalf of the plaintiff in the amount of $163,800. We negotiated a settlement with MicroAge in the amount of $25,000. Under the terms of the settlement, we are required make two payments of $15,000 due on March 17, 2003 and $10,000 due on May 3, 2003. If we do not make the payments in accordance with the settlement agreement, we would be liable for the full judgment of $163,800 plus accrued interest. On March 17, 2003, we made the first scheduled payment. This amount of $25,000 has been accrued for and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002.

        We have entered into various settlement agreements during 2002. One of these settlement agreements requires us to pay $10,000, monthly through July of 2004. If we fail to make these monthly payments on a timely basis, we would be liable for the full amount of the judgment totaling $399,754 plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum from September 12, 2001 to the date of the payoff plus attorney fees in the amount of $15,000. As of December 31, 2002, we have only accrued the remaining payments under the settlement agreement. This amount totaled $190,000.

        In addition, we are involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business. We are vigorously contesting all matters referred to above and management believes that their ultimate resolution may not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

        LTWC Corporation was originally known as E-Stamp Corporation, founded in 1994, and provided an Internet postage service that enabled users to purchase, download and print Internet postage directly from their personal computers without the need to maintain a persistent Internet connection. In May 2000, we acquired two companies, Infinity Logistics and Automated Logistics for a total purchase price of $9.0 million. These companies offered transportation management and warehouse management products and services that allowed enterprise customers to review carrier rates and shipping options, select a carrier, print shipping labels, track shipments and create shipping reports. During 2000, we undertook two corporate restructurings. In July 2000, we restructured the organization to accelerate the development, marketing and sales of our transportation management products and services in addition to our Internet postage business. In November 2000, we restructured the organization to phase out our Internet postage business. We incurred charges of approximately $20.3 million related to these restructurings, which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. On April 19, 2001, in connection with our then planned merger with Learn2.com, a publicly traded company, we discontinued our remaining transportation management business.

        On September 25, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Learn2.com, changed the name of our company from E-Stamp Corporation to Learn2 Corporation and assumed the on-going businesses of Learn2.com. Learn2.com's e-learning business included engaging online and physical learning and training products and complementary services, marketed to corporate, government and individual clients and customers and an e-mail marketing services business that provided permission e-mail marketing and tracking services. The services included e-mail creation, delivery, tracking and response analysis for a high volume of client e-mail accounts in a short period of time. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we issued approximately 37.8 million shares of our common stock. Each share of Learn2.com common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger automatically converted into the right to receive 0.4747 shares of our common stock resulting in our stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the merger owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding stock of the combined company. The former stockholders of Learn2.com, including Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder, received approximately 49.9% of the combined company. The total value of the transaction was approximately $19.2 million including approximately $6.6 million of assumed liabilities, transaction costs totaling approximately $5.2 million and a pre-closing payment of $1.0 million to Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

        On November 8, 2001, in connection with the merger, we undertook a corporate restructuring to outsource the packaging and shipping of our retail products to an outside fulfillment house and eliminate redundant functions. We incurred charges of approximately $89,000 related to this restructuring, which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001.

        On March 4, 2002, we announced that we would phase out our production and distribution operations in Pryor, Oklahoma and closed certain field sales operations and eliminated approximately 60 positions. Severance and related expenses attributable to the elimination of these positions were

15



approximately $409,000 and were included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        On July 2, 2002, we announced that we would close our facility in Golden, Colorado and the elimination of approximately 20 positions throughout the organization. We incurred charges of approximately $110,000 related to this workforce reduction and this amount is included in our loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        On August 9, 2002, we sold our e-learning assets. As part of the agreement, we changed our name to LTWC Corporation. The consideration consisted of (1) an initial payment to us of $325,000, paid on August 9, 2002 and (2) earn-out payments of up to a maximum of $3.71 million. The earn-out payments were to be made monthly commencing on September 9, 2002, in each case, subject to reduction, until the earlier of 60 months from August 9, 2002, or the date on which the aggregate amount of the earn-out payments paid totals $3.71 million. In connection with the sale of our e-learning assets, we announced that we would focus our efforts on our permission e-mail marketing business.

        On March 28, 2003, we and certain subsidiaries entered into an agreement with the buyer of the e-learning assets whereby the buyer agreed to pay us $540,000 to buy-out the remaining earn-out payments and monies owed to us for consigned inventory and purchased receivables. As a result, we wrote-off the receivable representing the present value of the minimum earn-out payments to $540,000. The write-off of the receivable of approximately $563,000 and the write-off of amounts due on consigned inventory and purchased receivables totaling $42,000 was recorded as a charge to net loss (gain) on disposal of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        We provide permission e-mail marketing and tracking services. Our services include e-mail creation, delivery, tracking and response analysis for a high volume of client e-mail accounts in a short period of time. Our goal is to be the preferred provider of full service and hosted, large-scale email broadcast campaigns. As set forth in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, our reported results of operations for all periods prior to September 25, 2001 do not reflect the results of Learn2.com. Furthermore, only our e-mail marketing services business is included in our results from continuing operations. Our other businesses are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        As a result of the sale of the e-learning assets, we operate in one segment, permission email marketing. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, "all operations that have been sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. All prior period financial information has been restated to reflect the discontinued operations and the single segment.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Policies

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has defined a company's most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key

16



accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions. For additional information see Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 14 of Part IV, "Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules and Reports on Form 8-K," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The items in our financial statements requiring significant estimates, judgments, and accounting policies are as follows:

Estimates And Judgments

Bad Debts And Price Adjustments.—We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from either the inability of our customers to make required payments or customer price adjustments related to services performed. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Capitalized Software And Intangibles—The value of our capitalized software and intangibles is determined either by management or by an independent third-party expert, based upon estimates, information and projections prepared by management. Under SFAS 144, annually, we are required to evaluate impairments to the carrying value of our capitalized software and intangibles. As a result of this review, in the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $221,000.

Litigation—We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material impact on us that could adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

        The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., with no need for management's judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. See our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which begin on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K which contain accounting policies and other disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue

        Revenues from permission email marketing services are recognized at the time the broadcast is sent, as we have no further significant obligations and collectibility is probable.

Discontinued Operations

        As a result of the sale of the e-learning assets, we operate in one segment, permission email marketing. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, "all operations that have been sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. All prior period financial information has been restated to reflect the discontinued operations and the single segment.

17

Revenues consist primarily of permission e-mail marketing and tracking services. In 2002, three customers accounted for approximately 81.9% of our revenue as discussed in our risk factor on significant customers. Cost of revenues for 2002 and 2001 were approximately $677,000 and $45,000. Cost of revenues consists of the expenses associated with the delivery of permission e-mail and tracking services, including Internet access and personnel related costs incurred to fulfill our email marketing and tracking services.

        Research and product development expenses for 2002 were approximately $540,000. Research and product development expenses for 2001 were approximately $282,000, which include expenses for the period September 25, 2001 through December 31, 2001. Research and product development expenses relate to the development and enhancement of our technologies. These expenses exclude those costs associated with our e-learning business.

        Sales and marketing expenses for 2002 were approximately $1.0 million. Sales and marketing expenses for 2001 were approximately $374,000, which include expenses for the period September 25, 2001 through December 31, 2001.

18



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The value of our capitalized software and intangibles is determined either by management or by an independent third-party expert, based upon estimates, information and projections prepared by management. Under SFAS 144, annually, we are required to evaluate impairments to the carrying value of our capitalized software and intangibles. As a result of this review, in the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $221,000.

Restructuring Charges

        In March 2002, one of our subsidiaries abandoned its office space in White Plains, New York and defaulted on the lease relating to that space. As a result of these actions and events, we recorded a charge of approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2002 for the remaining lease obligation for the office space in White Plains, New York and the write-off of fixed assets located in this facility. In the third quarter of 2002, we reached a settlement with the landlord on our remaining lease obligation on the office space in White Plains, New York. As a result, we reversed approximately $705,000 of the restructuring accrual recorded in the first quarter of 2002.

Non-Recurring Costs

        In 2001, non-recurring charges related and consequential to the merger totaling approximately $2.5 million were incurred. These costs consisted primarily of $1.4 million for severance and other related payroll charges, $843,000 for Directors' & Officers' tail insurance for acts that occurred prior to the Learn2.com acquisition, and $340,000 for other costs related to our November 8, 2001 workforce reduction.

Operating Loss

        The operating loss for 2002 was $3.1 million compared to $8.7 million in 2001 and was attributable to the factors discussed above.

Interest Income

        Interest income consists primarily of earnings on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income was $39,000 for 2002 compared to interest income of $766,000 for 2001. The decrease was due to decreased interest earned as a result of lower average balances resulting from our continued use of cash to fund our operations and lower interest rates.

Interest Expense and Other, Net

        Interest expenses and other, net, for 2002 was income of $467,000 compared to an expense of $35,000 for 2001. The $467,000 consisted primarily of a franchise tax refund, the reversal of prior year's restructuring accrual, and the settlement of vendor obligations offset by non-operating expenses.

Discontinued Operations

Net Loss From Discontinued Operations

        Net loss from discontinued operations of $6.1 million for 2002 reflects the operating expenses related to our e-learning segments, net of revenues of $2.7 million. Included in this amount is $1.7 million relating to the write-down of certain intangible assets and the remaining fixed assets of the e-learning segments including $843,000 for property and equipment, $145,000 for software, and $718,000 for the write-down of our building in Pryor, Oklahoma. Also, included in this amount is $7.0 million of other costs and expenses primarily relating to the operating costs of the e-learning

19



segment partially offset by the beneficial settlement of outstanding obligations related to the e-learning segment as well as the reversal of legacy accruals related to the e-learning segment.

        In the fourth quarter of 2002, we reclassified certain severance and other related expenses totaling $303,000 from the e-learning segment from restructuring charges to loss from discontinued operations.

Net Loss on Disposal of Discontinued Operations—2002

        Net loss on disposal of discontinued operations for 2002 was $7.0 million. On August 9, 2002, we and certain subsidiaries sold our respective e-learning assets. We received consideration consisting of (1) an initial payment to the Company of $325,000 and (2) earn-out payments to the Company and its subsidiaries of up to a maximum of $3.71 million. The earn-out payments were to be made monthly commencing on September 9, 2002, in each case, subject to reduction until the earlier of 60 months from August 9, 2002 or the date on which the aggregate amount of the earn-out payments paid to us and our subsidiaries totals $3.71 million. We recorded a $1.2 million receivable representing the present value of the minimum earn out payments due from the buyer of the assets. This represented a total purchase price of $1.5 million.

        On March 28, 2003, we and certain subsidiaries entered into an agreement with the buyer of the e-learning assets whereby the buyer agreed to pay us a payment of $540,000 to buy-out the remaining earn-out payments and monies owed to us for consigned inventory and purchased receivables. As a result, we wrote-off the receivable representing the present value of the minimum earn-out payments to $540,000. As a result of this write-down, the net purchase price was approximately $955,000.

        The purchase price was offset by the write-off of the remaining intangible assets of $6.2 million, property, plant and equipment totaling $893,000, accounts receivable of $166,000, and inventory of $306,000. This was also further offset by legal and consulting fees associated with this transaction totaling $266,000. In addition, as a result of the buy-out of the consigned inventory and purchased receivables, we wrote-off an additional $134,000.

        In the third quarter of 2002, we reclassified certain expenses related to the sale of the e-learning assets included in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 from loss from discontinued operations to loss on sale of discontinued operations. The reclassification was as follows:

        For 2001, for the transportation management solutions business, loss from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to our transportation management business through the measurement date of April 19, 2001, net of revenues from that business of approximately $317,000. Operating expenses for 2001 were significantly reduced from operating expenses for 2000 primarily due to reduced headcount resulting from our restructuring efforts in 2000. In addition, we significantly reduced our advertising and promotional activities in the first half of 2001. Amortization of deferred stock compensation, which is recorded using the graded vesting method, was $2.3 million in 2001.

        These decreases in operating expenses were partially offset by charges totaling $4.7 million related to the amortization and write off of goodwill and other intangible assets related to our transportation management solutions business. During the first quarter of 2001,we identified possible indicators of impairment of these assets and determined that these assets had a fair value of zero. In addition, we wrote off property and equipment held for disposal as a result of reduced employee headcount totaling $1.4 million.

        In addition, in 2001, loss from discontinued operations was partially offset by the reversal of excess restructuring accruals related to Internet postage refunds and to certain contract terminations. We also reversed an excess allowance for doubtful accounts. These reversals totaled approximately $1.0 million.

        For 2001, for the e-learning business, loss from discontinued operations reflects the operating expenses related to our e-learning business, net of revenues of $2.7 million. Operating expenses for 2001 were $4.0 million.

Gain on Disposal of Discontinued Operations—2001

        In April 2001, we sold all of our patent and patent applications and certain trademarks and domain names related to our Internet postage business to Stamps.com, Inc. for cash proceeds of $7.5 million. In June 2001, we sold our maintenance contracts and trademarks related to our DigitalShipper and e-Receive products to Data Track Technologies of California, Inc. for cash proceeds of $55,000 and a promissory note of $110,000. We recorded gains totaling approximately $7.7 million related to these transactions. This income was offset by costs of discontinuing the transportation management business, including costs related to shutting down the business' operations after the April 19, 2001 measurement date, charges for fixed asset impairment and an accrual for lease termination costs. For 2001, the gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net was approximately $165,000.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders

        The net loss available for common stockholders was $15.8 million for 2002 compared to $22.4 million for 2001 and was attributable to the factors discussed above.

2001 Compared To 2000

Continuing Operations

Revenues and Gross Margin

        Net revenues for 2001 which include revenues for the period September 25, 2001 through December 31, 2001 was approximately $1.7 million. Revenues consist primarily of permission e-mail marketing and tracking services. Costs of revenues for 2001 were approximately $45,000. Cost of revenues consists of the expenses associated with the delivery of permission e-mail and tracking services, including Internet access and personnel related costs incurred to fulfill our marketing and tracking services. All revenues for 2000 have been included in net loss from discontinued operations.

Operating Expenses

Research and Product Development Expenses

        Research and product development expenses were approximately $282,000 for 2001. Research and product development expenses relate to the development and enhancement of our technologies, content, Website and product design. For 2001, these expenses exclude those costs associated with our e-learning business.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

        Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $374,000 for 2001. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, advertising, trade show expenses and advertising costs of marketing materials. For 2001, these expenses exclude those costs associated with our e-learning business.

General and Administrative Expenses

        General and administrative expenses were approximately $7.0 million for 2001 compared to $8.2 million for 2000. These expenses consist of expenses associated with the general responsibilities of a public company, and exclude those costs associated with our transportation management and Internet postage businesses. These expenses include salaries and related costs for certain administrative functions, professional services, including legal and accounting services, insurance and an allocation of facilities costs. For 2001, these expenses exclude those costs associated with our e-learning business.

22



Non-Recurring Costs

        In 2001, non-recurring charges related and consequential to the merger totaling approximately $2.5 million were incurred. These costs consisted primarily of $1.4 million for severance and other related payroll charges, $843,000 for Directors' & Officers' tail insurance for acts that occurred prior to the Learn2.com acquisition, and $340,000 for other costs related to our November 8, 2001 workforce reduction.

Operating Loss

        The operating loss for 2001 was $8.7 million compared to $8.2 million in 2001 and was attributable to the factors discussed above.

Interest Income

        Interest income, consists primarily of earnings on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest income was income of $766,000 for 2001 compared to income of $4.0 million for 2000. The decrease in interest income, net, was due to decreased interest earned as a result of lower average cash balances resulting from our continued use of cash to fund our operations and lower interest rates.

Interest Expense And Other, Net

        Interest expense and other, net was an expense of $35,000 in 2001 compared to an expense of $178,000 in 2000.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholder

        The net loss available for common stockholders was $22.4 million for 2001 compared to $112.8 million for 2000 and was attributable to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

        Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private and public sales of equity securities. We have received net proceeds of approximately $72.9 million in private placements of our equity securities and net proceeds of $125.4 million from the initial public offering of our common stock. As of December 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $466,000.

        As of December 31, 2002, our principal commitments consist of payments related to the settlement of various lawsuits totaling $240,000 with $170,000 due in 2003 and $70,000 due in 2004. One of these settlement agreements requires us to pay, $10,000 monthly through July of 2004. If we fail to make these monthly payments on a timely basis, we would be liable for the full amount of the judgment totaling $399,754 plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum from September 12, 2001 to the date of the payoff plus attorney fees in the amount of $15,000. As of December 31, 2002, we have only accrued the remaining payments under the settlement agreement. This amount totaled $190,000.

        Additionally, our lease and other contractual obligations totaled $335,000, and future minimum lease payments required under operating leases and other contractual requirements with initial or remaining noncancellable terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2002, were $314,000 in 2003, $17,000 in 2004, $4,000 in 2005. There are no commitments beyond 2005. Our unconditional purchase obligations, as defined by SFAS No. 47, "Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations," were immaterial.

        Net cash used in continuing operations totaled $3.5 million in 2002 while net cash used in continuing operations for 2001 totaled $5.7 million, and for 2000 totaled $1.9 million. These amounts resulted primarily from net operating losses during those periods offset by non-cash charges.

23



        Net cash used in discontinued operations totaled $3.1 million for 2002 while net cash used in discontinued operations for 2001 totaled $20.3 million and for 2000 totaled $72.3 million. These amounts resulted primarily from net operating losses during those periods offset by non-cash charges.

        Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $524,000 for 2002. This resulted from the initial payment of $325,000 for the sale of the e-learning segments assets plus $90,000 of minimum royalty earn-out payments and $270,000 from proceeds of sales of fixed assets offset by purchases of property and equipment totaling $161,000. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $7.1 million for 2001 and resulted mainly from the sale of discontinued operations and a decrease in restricted cash and other assets offset by merger related expenses and the purchase of assets. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $19.9 million for 2000 and resulted primarily from the use of restricted cash for a lease deposit, purchases of property, plant and equipment, cash used for a business combination, and other decreases in other deposits and assets.

        Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $210,000 for 2002 and consisted primarily of the collection of a note receivable from a former employee totaling $200,000 and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $630,000 for 2000 and consisted primarily of the collection of a note receivable from a shareholder and proceeds from the issuance of stock options. This was partially offset by repayments of lease and notes payable obligations.

        We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $226.8 million.

        Subsequent to our merger with Learn2.com, we have taken the following actions to reduce our cash consumption. On November 8, 2001, we undertook a corporate restructuring to outsource the packaging and shipping of our retail products to an outside fulfillment house and eliminate redundant functions. On March 4, 2002, we announced that we would phase out our remaining production and distribution operations in Pryor, Oklahoma and eliminated approximately sixty positions, primarily in the Oklahoma facility and certain field sales operations. On July 2, 2002, we announced that we would close our facility in Golden, Colorado and eliminated approximately twenty positions throughout the organization. On August 9, 2002, we and certain subsidiaries sold our respective e-learning assets. In connection with the sale of the e-learning assets, we announced that we would focus our efforts on our permission e-mail marketing business.

        As of December 31, 2002 we had $466,000 in cash and cash equivalents. We believe that this cash may not be adequate to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months. The audit opinion regarding our 2002 financial statements expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

        As of December 31, 2002, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $580,000. Furthermore, we have a $440,000 including accrued interest note payable due January 2004. In addition, the operating results for future periods are subject to numerous other uncertainties. Our ability to achieve positive cash flow depends upon the success of the our marketing or services, the costs of developing, producing, and marketing these services, new laws and regulations, general economic conditions and various other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. Many of our costs are fixed and are based on anticipated revenue levels. We may be unable to adjust our spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected shortfall in cash collections or revenues.

        Based on our current level of expenses, if our revenues and related cash collections are less than $1 million per quarter, or if our cash expenditures and payments continue to exceed cash collections,

24



we would need to raise additional funds. Our current forecasted revenues and cash collections are less than $1 million for each of the quarters in 2003. Because we have never earned a profit, current liabilities exceed current assets and the market price of our common stock price is low; we believe that it will be extremely difficult to raise additional funds.

        We believe that if we restructure our existing obligations for approximately 10%-15% of their face amounts, exceed our cash collection targets by approximately $200,000 per quarter, recover from our insurance carriers claims we have filed, and favorably and timely resolve the lawsuits with Morrison & Foerster, Rydell, and other litigation matters, we will have sufficient resources for our operating requirements at least for the next twelve months. However, if each of the assumptions described in the preceding sentence are not actualized and we are unable to raise additional funds or sell assets, it is not likely that we will continue as a going concern.

        In January 2002, a complaint was filed against us alleging certain common law claims. In connection with the settlement of the complaint, on January 24, 2002 we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000 accruing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The promissory note is due and payable upon the earlier of (i) the completion of a Financing (as defined in the promissory note) or (ii) any dissolution, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction involving our company. At December 31, 2002, the principal amount of the promissory note is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

        In connection with the sale of the e-learning segments, we terminated the employment of Kevin Riley, the former President of the e-learning division on August 15, 2002. Under Mr. Riley's Employment Agreement he was entitled to receive: his annual base salary, $250,000, paid consistent with our payroll practices for one year; immediate vesting in all options held; with respect to fully vested options held, the privilege of exercising the options for one year from termination; and health insurance benefits for one year following termination.

        Through December 31, 2002, Mr. Riley was paid $23,750 under the termination clause of his Employment Agreement. In October 2002, we and Mr. Riley agreed to a mutual release under which we were relieved from our obligations in exchange for a one-time payment of $25,000 and the issuance of a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of the our common stock.

        In connection with the sale of the e-learning segments, we terminated the employment of Ms. Lindsey, the former Vice President of Research and Development of the e-learning division on August 15, 2002. Under Ms. Lindsey's Employment Agreement she is entitled to receive $131,250, paid in eighteen equal semi-monthly installments.

        Through December 31, 2002, Ms. Lindsey was paid $58,333 under the termination clause of her Employment Agreement. In December 2002, we and Ms. Lindsey agreed to a mutual release under which we were relieved from our obligations in exchange for the issuance of a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock.

        In May 1999, Robert Ewald now the Chairman of the Board of Directors exercised unvested stock options through the issuance of a note payable. In October 2000, we repurchased certain unvested shares and reduced the note payable to approximately $470,000. At that time, we held 652,344 vested shares as collateral. In September 2001, we and Mr. Ewald entered into a retention agreement under which the note would be forgiven in the event that Mr. Ewald's employment was terminated without cause or as a result of constructive termination within the two year period following the completion of the merger with Learn2.com, Inc. As a result, at September 30, 2001, we fully reserved the note. On June 28, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reduce the original exercise price to $0.075 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on that date. As a result, the outstanding principal balance of the note was reduced

25



to approximately $49,000. On July 2, 2002, Mr. Ewald surrendered his right, title and interest in the shares held as collateral in exchange for the note.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds the automatic treatment of gains or losses from extinguishments of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria for extraordinary items as outlined in APB No. 30. In addition, SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS 145 is effective for us for all financial statements issued in fiscal 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity and requires such costs to be recognized when the liability is incurred. Previous guidance in EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"), required that a liability for an exit cost be recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated by a company after December 31, 2002. We have not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 146 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," relating to guarantees. In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed party. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this interpretation, including, among others, guarantees relating to employee compensation, residual value guarantees under capital lease arrangements, commercial letters of credit, loan commitments, subordinated interests in a special purpose entity, and guarantees of a company's own future performance. Other guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 but not to the recognition provisions and include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as a derivative instrument under SFAS No. 133, a parent's guarantee of debt owed to a third party by its subsidiary or vice versa, and a guarantee which is based on performance not price. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002, and require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor's obligations under the guarantee. The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Significant guarantees that have been entered into by us are disclosed in Note 11 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and provides alternative methods of transition for an entity's voluntary change to the

26



fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This Statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures and specifies the form, content and location of those disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting used for stock-based employee compensation and its effect on reported results. This Statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As we continue to account for employee stock-based compensation under APB 25, and we did not make a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS No. 123 in 2002, the adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standard setting groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not significant to the financial statements of the Company.


ITEM 7A. QUANTITIES AND QUALITATIVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

        The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations and money market funds.

        We have never held derivative financial instruments.

ITEM 9. CHANGES AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

        Effective May 6, 2002, the Company dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's independent public accountants and appointed BDO Seidman as its new independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2002.

        On October 1, 2001, we terminated Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors. We then engaged Arthur Andersen LLP as of October 1, 2001 to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. This change was executed in connection with our merger with Learn2.com. Learn2.com had engaged Andersen as its independent public accountants since January 15, 1999.

        We filed form 8-K for each of these changes in accountants on May 10, 2002 and October 5, 2001.

Classified Board

        Our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, a portion of our board of directors will be elected each year. Robert J. Cresci, Fred Welz and David Shohet have been designated as Class I directors whose terms expire in 2003 annual meeting of stockholders. Robert H. Ewald and Paul Goldman have been designated as Class II directors whose terms will expire in 2004. This classification of the board of directors may delay or prevent a change in control of our company or in our management.

Compliance With Section 16(A) Of The Exchange Act

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the SEC. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10% stockholders were satisfied, except that Messrs. Ewald, Landy, and Riley each filed late a Form 4 related to a stock option grant.

(1)
We granted stock options representing approximately 5,434,000 shares of our common stock to employees during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Of this amount options representing approximately 2.6 million were granted in connection with an offer to exchange made available to certain eligible employees, officers and directors of our company in January 2002. Messrs. Ewald, Landy and Riley elected to participate in the offer. Their grants during 2002 reflected grants made in connection with that offer.

(2)
The potential realizable value illustrates value that might be realized upon exercise of the options immediately prior to the expiration of their terms, assuming the specified compounded rates of appreciation of the market price per share from the date of grant to the end of the option term. Actual gains, if any, on stock options exercises are dependent upon a number of factors, including the future performance of our common stock and the timing of option exercises, as well as the optionee's continued employment through the vested period. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be achieved.

        There were no options granted to Mr. Sandoval or Ms. Lindsey.

Aggregate Option Exercises In Last Fiscal Year And Fiscal Year-End Option Values

        The following table provides information about stock options held by our named executive officers at December 31, 2002. During fiscal year 2002, none of our named executive officers exercised stock options.

33



        In May 1999, Robert H. Ewald, now the Chairman of the Board of Directors, exercised unvested stock options through the issuance of a note payable. In October 2000, we repurchased certain unvested shares and reduced the note payable to approximately $470,000. At that time we held 652,344 vested shares as collateral. In September 2001, we entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Ewald, which provides for the payment of one year base salary, continued health coverage for a one year period, and the forgiveness of loans related to the early exercise of stock options in the event that Mr. Ewald's employment is terminated without "Cause" (as defined in the retention agreement) or if Mr. Ewald resigns his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the retention agreement) within the two-year period following the completion of the merger with Learn2.com, Inc. As a result, at September 30, 2001, we fully reserved the note. On June 28, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reduce the original exercise price to $0.075 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market on that date. As a result, the outstanding principal balance of the note was reduced to approximately $49,000. On July 2, 2002, Mr. Ewald surrendered his right, title and interest in the shares held as collateral in exchange for the note.

Compensation Committee Interlocks And Insider Participation

        During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 Robert Ewald, Rebecca Saeger, S. Lee Kling, James A. Cannavino and Marcelo A. Gumucio served as members of our company's Compensation Committee.

        Pursuant to a stock pledge agreement between our company and Marcelo Gumucio and Carole Gumucio, as of April 9, 2001, we had the right to repurchase 15,000 shares of our common stock upon an event of default under the agreement. The stock pledge agreement was entered into in connection with a loan of approximately $150,000 to the Gumucio's. The purpose of the loans was to pay the taxes incurred by the Gumucio's upon receipt of a 62,500 share stock bonus to Mr. Gumucio. Mr. Gumucio issued to our company a promissory note in connection with the loan. In September 2001, we forgave the promissory note issued by Mr. Gumucio in its entirety together with a tax gross up on the forgiveness.

Employment Contracts And Termination Of Employment And Change-In-Control Arrangements.

        In May 1999, Robert H. Ewald, now the Chairman of the Board of Directors exercised, unvested stock options through the issuance of a note payable. In October 2000, we repurchased certain unvested shares and reduced the note payable to approximately $470,000. At that time we held 652,344 vested shares as collateral. In September 2001, we entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Ewald, which provides for the payment of one year base salary, continued health coverage for a one year period, and the forgiveness of loans related to the early exercise of stock options in the event that

34



Mr. Ewald's employment is terminated without "Cause" (as defined in the retention agreement) or if Mr. Ewald resigns his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the retention agreement) within the two-year period following the completion of the merger with Learn2.com, Inc. As a result, at September 30, 2001, we fully reserved the note. On June 28, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reduce the original exercise price to $0.075 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market on that date. As a result, the outstanding principal balance of the note was reduced to approximately $49,000. On July 2, 2002, Mr. Ewald surrendered his right, title and interest in the shares held as collateral in exchange for the note.

        In 2001, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Ewald to loan him approximately $410,000 to enable him to pay the taxes he incurred upon receipt of a 125,000 share stock bonus in 2000. On a quarterly basis during 2000 and 2001, we forgave the amount due and agreed to provide Mr. Ewald with a tax gross-up on the forgiveness. In 2002 we paid Mr. Ewald approximately $239,000, which represented the additional taxes he paid and incurred in 2002 as a result of the forgiveness.

        Learn2.com entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of February 16, 1999, employing Marc E. Landy as its Chief Financial Officer. The parties entered into amendments to the employment agreement dated as of February 16, 2001 and February 16, 2002. The term of Mr. Landy's employment agreement continues until February 16, 2003, subject to earlier termination for death, disability, resignation or removal. Mr. Landy's annual base salary is $175,000. If Mr. Landy resigns his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the employment agreement), if we terminate his employment without "Cause" (as defined in the employment agreement), or if we elect not to extend the term of Mr. Landy's employment, Mr. Landy will be entitled to (1) receive his base salary, benefits and incentive bonuses to which he is entitled but not paid, up to and including the effective date of his termination of employment, (2) receive an amount equal to one year's base salary, (3) with respect to fully vested options, the privilege of exercising the unexercised portion of such options upon the later of (x) one year from the effective date of his termination or (y) thirty days from the expiration of any restriction on the sale, transfer or other disposition of the shares of common stock underlying the options, and (4) receive an amount equal to the higher of (x) any bonus or incentive compensation he earned or received with respect to the prior fiscal year or (y) $40,000. Mr. Landy's employment agreement also contains confidentiality, non-competition and indemnification provisions. On February 26, 2003, Marc E. Landy resigned as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of LTWC Corporation. Under the terms of his agreement, Mr. Landy was not entitled to receive compensation related to items (2) and (4) explained above.

        In connection with the sale of the e-learning business, we terminated the employment of Mr. Kevin Riley, the former President of the e-learning division on August 15, 2002. Under Mr. Riley's Employment Agreement he was entitled to receive: his annual base salary, $250,000, paid consistent with our payroll practices for one year; immediate vesting in all options held; with respect to fully vested options held, the privilege of exercising the options for one year from termination; and health insurance benefits for one year following termination. Through September 30, 2002, Mr. Riley was paid $24,750 in severance. In October 2002, we agreed to a mutual release with Mr. Riley, under which we were relieved from our obligations in exchange for a one-time payment of $25,000 and the issuance of a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of the our common stock at $0.07 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market on that date. The warrant vested immediately and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

        In May 2001, Ms. Laurie Lindsey, our then Vice President of Product Development, was terminated and paid approximately $54,000 under her Employment agreement. In October 2001 Ms. Lindsey was rehired by the Company as Vice President of Research and Development of the e-learning division, in exchange for Ms. Lindsey's agreement to defer her remaining $131,250 in severance payments.

        In May 1999, Robert H. Ewald, now the Chairman of the Board of Directors exercised unvested stock options through the issuance of a note payable. In October 2000, we repurchased certain unvested shares and reduced the note payable to approximately $470,000. At that time we held 652,344 vested shares as collateral. In September 2001, we entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Ewald, which provides for the payment of one year base salary, continued health coverage for a one year period, and the forgiveness of loans related to the early exercise of stock options in the event that Mr. Ewald's employment is terminated without "Cause" (as defined in the retention agreement) or if Mr. Ewald resigns his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the retention agreement) within the two-year period following the completion of the merger with Learn2.com, Inc. As a result, at September 30, 2001, we fully reserved the note. On June 28, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reduce the original exercise price to $0.075 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on that date. As a result, the outstanding principal balance of the note was reduced to approximately $49,000. On July 2, 2002, Mr. Ewald surrendered his right, title and interest in the shares held as collateral in exchange for the note.

        In 2001, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Ewald to loan him approximately $410,000 to enable him to pay the taxes he incurred upon receipt of a 125,000 share stock bonus in 2000. On a quarterly basis during 2000 and 2001 we forgave the amount due and agreed to provide Mr. Ewald with a tax gross-up on the forgiveness. In 2002 we paid Mr. Ewald approximately $239,000, which represented the additional taxes he paid and incurred in 2002 as a result of the forgiveness.

        In May 2001, Ms. Laurie Lindsey, our then Vice President of Product Development, was terminated and paid approximately $54,000 under her Employment agreement. In October 2001 Ms. Lindsey was rehired by the Company as Vice President of Research and Development of the e-learning division, in exchange for Ms. Lindsey's agreement to defer her remaining $131,250 in severance payments. In connection with the sale of the e-learning business, Ms. Lindsey was terminated on August 15, 2002. In 2002, we paid Ms. Lindsey $43,750 of the remaining $131,250 severance to which she was entitled. In December 2002, we agreed to a mutual release with Ms. Lindsey, under which we were relieved from our obligations in exchange for the issuance of a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of the our common stock at $0.06 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on that date. The warrant vested immediately and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

        On September 25, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Learn2.com. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we issued approximately 37.8 million shares of our common stock. Each share of Learn2.com common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger automatically converted into the right to receive 0.4747 shares of our common stock resulting in our stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the merger owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding stock of the combined company. The former stockholders of Learn2.com including Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder, received approximately 49.9% of the combined company. In connection with the merger, we made a pre-closing payment of $1.0 million to Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture.

ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation.

REPORT OF BDO SEIDMAN, LLP

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
LTWC Corporation
Stamford, Connecticut

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LTWC Corporation as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LTWC Corporation as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations of LTWC Corporation and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from and negative cash flow from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
LTWC Corporation

        We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows of LTWC Corporation (formerly E-Stamp Corporation) for the year ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations of LTWC Corporation and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that LTWC Corporation (formerly E-Stamp Corporation) will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, in April 2001, the Company announced its intention to cease its current business operations prior to its proposed merger with Learn2.com. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LTWC CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Description of Business

        LTWC Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "LTWC"), was incorporated on August 23, 1996. The Company originally provided an Internet postage service. On September 25, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Learn2.com, Inc., and assumed the on-going operations of Learn2.com's e-learning and permission e-mail marketing businesses. In connection with its then proposed merger with Learn2.com, the Company announced that it would discontinue its existing transportation management business prior to completion of the merger. On August 9, 2002, the Company sold the assets of its e-learning business. As part of the agreement, in September 2002, the Company changed its name to LTWC Corporation. In connection with the sale, the Company announced that it would focus its efforts on its permission e-mail marketing business.

Basis Of Presentation

Fiscal 2000

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At December 31, 2000, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $188.7 million. On April 20, 2001, the Company announced that it had signed a merger agreement with Learn2.com. The merger agreement was subject to certain closing conditions including maintaining a minimum net cash position at the closing date and approvals from stockholders of both companies. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, E-Stamp stockholders were to own approximately 50.1% of the combined company. The Company also announced that it would discontinue its existing transportation management solution business prior to the closing of the merger. As a result of these actions at the time in April 2001, there was no assurance that the Company would be able to close the merger, and the Company's announcement that it would discontinue its remaining operations raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern if the Company failed to complete the merger. Accordingly, Ernst & Young LLP's audit report with respect to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, included an explanatory paragraph highlighting the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, did not include any adjustments that might have resulted from this uncertainty.

Fiscal 2002 and 2001

        The Company has incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. At December 31, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $226.8 million. Subsequent to the Company's merger with Learn2.com, the Company has taken the following actions to reduce its cash consumption. On November 8, 2001, the Company undertook a corporate restructuring to outsource the packaging and shipping of its retail products to an outside fulfillment house and eliminate redundant functions. On March 4, 2002, the Company announced that it would phase out its remaining production and distribution operations in Pryor, Oklahoma and eliminated approximately sixty positions, primarily in the Oklahoma facility and certain field sales operations. On July 2, 2002, the Company announced that it would close its facility in Golden, Colorado and eliminated approximately twenty positions throughout the organization. On August 9, 2002, the Company and certain subsidiaries sold its respective e-learning assets. In connection with the sale of the e-learning assets, the Company announced that it would focus its efforts on its permission e-mail marketing business.

F-7



        As of December 31, 2002, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $580,000. Furthermore, the Company has a $440,000 including accrued interest note payable due January 2004. In addition, the operating results for future periods are subject to numerous other uncertainties. The Company's ability to achieve positive cash flow depends upon the market success of its services, the costs of developing, producing, and marketing these services, new laws and regulations, general economic conditions and various other factors, some of which may be beyond its control. Many of the Company's costs are fixed and are based on anticipated revenue levels. The Company may be unable to adjust its spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected shortfall in cash collections or revenues.

        As of December 31, 2002 the Company had $466,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that this cash may not be adequate to meet its operating and requirements for the next twelve months. The audit opinion regarding its 2002 financial statements expressed substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

        The Company believes that if it restructures its existing obligations, exceeds its cash collection targets, recover from its insurance carriers claims it has filed, and favorably and timely resolve the lawsuits with Morrison & Foerster, Rydell, and other litigation matters, the Company will have sufficient resources for its operating requirements at least for the next twelve months. However, if each of the assumptions described in the preceding sentence, are not actualized and the Company is unable to raise additional funds or sell assets, it is not likely that the Company will continue as a going concern.

        Because of the Company's announcement on April 20, 2001 and August 9, 2002, that it was discontinuing the remaining business operations, the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been restated to reflect the results of the Company's Internet postage and transportation management solutions and e-learning segment as discontinued operations, in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

Principles Of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

        Certain amounts in the prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current periods' presentation.

Critical Accounting Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its 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

F-8



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.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenues from permission email marketing services are recognized at the time the broadcast is sent, as the Company has no further significant obligations and collectibility is probable.

Research and Product Development Expenditures

        Costs incurred in research and development are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are required to be capitalized when a product's technological feasibility has been established through the date the product is available for general release to customers. The Company has not capitalized any software development costs as technological feasibility is generally not established until a working model is completed at which time substantially all development is complete.

Advertising Expenses

        The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promoting its services as incurred. Such costs are included in sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations.

Internal-Use Software

        The Company accounts for internal use software in accordance with AICPA's SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This standard requires certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software to be capitalized including external direct costs of material and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to the software projects. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as for maintenance and training are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

        The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair value.

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109") using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." APB No. 25 prescribes the use of the intrinsic value method, which measures compensation cost as the quoted

F-9



market price of the stock at the date of grant less the amount, if any, that the employee is required to pay. As required by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which was amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," the Corporation discloses the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if stock-based compensation had been recognized based on the estimated fair value at the date of grant for options awarded. Had the Company's compensation expense for the Company's stock option grants been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net loss amounts for each year are indicated below (in thousands except per share data):

 
  Years ended December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
Net loss, as reported   $ (15,754 ) $ (22,441 ) $ (112,826 )
Add: Stock based compensation cost included in determination of compensation expense   451   2,293   8,764  
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all rewards, net of related tax effects   (295 ) (1,010 ) (2,902 )
   
 
 
 
Pro forma net loss   $ (15,598 ) $ (21,158 ) $ (106,964 )
   
 
 
 
Basic and diluted-as reported   $ (0.21 ) $ (0.46 ) $ (3.04 )
Basic and diluted-pro forma   $ (0.21 ) $ (0.40 ) $ (2.80 )

        The weighted average fair value of each option granted in 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $0.05, $3.79, and $7.89, respectively. The fair value of the Company stock-based awards to employees prior to the Company's initial public offering in October 1999 was estimated using the minimum value method for the purposes of determining the stock-based compensation under the fair value method. The weighted average fair value of employee stock purchase plan rights granted in 2000 was. $0.56. These values are based on estimates on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
Risk-free interest rate   4.14% to 4.47%   6.40 % 6.40 %
Expected life in years   10   3.5   3.5  
Expected volatility   135% to 151.87%   171 % 160 %
Expected dividend yield        
Expected life in years of employee stock purchase plan rights   N/A   N/A   1.2  
Risk-free interest rate purchase plan rights   N/A   N/A   6.0 %

Cash And Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents Cash equivalents include highly liquid, temporary cash investments having original maturity dates of three months or less. For reporting the Company's cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market.

F-10



Fixed Assets

        Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, or the term of the leases, whichever is shorter.

Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets are comprised of the excess of the purchase price and related acquisition costs over the fair value assigned to the net tangible assets of businesses acquired in purchase business combinations, which primarily are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Company records impairment losses other intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired and the estimated fair value of the asset is less than its recorded amount. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include material adverse changes in operations, significant adverse differences in actual results in comparison with initial valuation forecasts prepared at the time of acquisition, a decision to abandon acquired products or services. If impairment is determined, the asset is written down to estimated fair value. As a result of this review, in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $221,000.

        Intangibles are presented net of related accumulated amortization and impairment charges.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds the automatic treatment of gains or losses from extinguishments of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria for extraordinary items as outlined in APB No. 30. In addition, SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements. SFAS 145 is effective for the Company for all financial statements issued in fiscal 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity and requires such costs to be recognized when the liability is incurred. Previous guidance in EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"), required that a liability for an exit cost be recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated by a company after December 31, 2002. The Company has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 146 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," relating to guarantees. In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or

F-11



indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed party. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this interpretation, including, among others, guarantees relating to employee compensation, residual value guarantees under capital lease arrangements, commercial letters of credit, loan commitments, subordinated interests in a special purpose entity, and guarantees of a company's own future performance. Other guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 but not to the recognition provisions and include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as a derivative instrument under SFAS No. 133, a parent's guarantee of debt owed to a third party by its subsidiary or vice versa, and a guarantee which is based on performance not price. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002, and require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor's obligations under the guarantee. The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Significant guarantees that have been entered into by the Company are disclosed in Note 11. The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure". This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and provides alternative methods of transition for an entity's voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This Statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures and specifies the form, content and location of those disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting used for stock-based employee compensation and its effect on reported results. This Statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. As the Company continues to account for employee stock-based compensation under APB 25, and the Company did not make a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS No. 123 in 2002, the adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations. Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standard setting groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not significant to the financial statements of the Company.

Note 2. Dispositions/Acquisitions

Disposition

        On August 9, 2002, the Company and certain subsidiaries sold their respective e-learning assets. The consideration consists of (i) an initial payment to the Company of $325,000 and (ii) earn-out payments to the Company and its subsidiaries of up to $3.71 million. The earn-out payments are to be made monthly commencing on September 9, 2002, in each case, subject to reduction, until the earlier of sixty (60) months from August 9, 2002 or the date on which the aggregate amount of the earn-out payments paid to the Company and its subsidiaries totals $3.71 million. The Company recorded a $1.2 million receivable representing the present value of the minimum earn-out payments due from the buyer of the assets.

        On March 24, 2003, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into an agreement with the buyer of the e-learning assets whereby the buyer agreed to pay the Company a one time lump-sum payment of $540,000 to buy-out the remaining earn-out payments and monies owed to the Company for consigned inventory and purchased receivables. As a result, the Company wrote-off the receivable

F-12



representing the present value of the minimum earn-out payments to $540,000. As a result of this write-down, the net purchase price was approximately $955,000.

        The loss on the sale of the e-learning assets was approximately $7.0 million and is included in the loss on sale from disposal of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        The purchase price of $955,000 was offset by the write-off of the remaining intangible assets of $6.2 million, property, plant and equipment totaling $893,000, accounts receivable of $166,000, and inventory of $306,000. This was also further offset by legal and consulting fees associated with this transaction totaling $266,000. In addition, as a result of the buy-out of the consigned inventory and purchased receivables, the Company wrote-off an additional $134,000.

Acquisitions

        On September 25, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Learn2.com, and changed its name to Learn2 Corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company issued approximately 37.7 million shares of its common stock. Each share of Learn2.com common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger automatically converted into the right to receive 0.4747 shares of common stock of the Company, resulting in the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the merger owning approximately 50.1% of the outstanding stock of the combined company. The former stockholders of Learn2.com, including Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder, received approximately 49.9% of the combined company. The total value of the transaction was approximately $19.2 million including approximately $6.6 million of assumed liabilities, transaction costs totaling approximately $5.2 million and a pre-closing payment of $1.0 million to Learn2.com's $10.0 million convertible debenture holder. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS 141. The results of Learn2.com for the period from September 25, 2001 through December 31, 2002 are included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

F-13


        The following table sets forth the calculation of the purchase price (in thousands):

Total LTWC Corporation shares outstanding prior to the merger     37,842  
Learn2 Corporation common stock per share market value at date the merger was announced.   $ 0.17  
   
 
    $ 6,433

Pre-closing payment     1,000  
Liabilities assumed     6,596  
Transaction costs     5,159  
   
 
Total   $ 19,155  
   
 

        Under the purchase method of accounting, the net purchase price under this transaction has been allocated to the assets and liabilities of Learn2.com based on their estimated values at the date of the transaction. However, the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired of Learn2.com at the date of the transaction totaled $23.3 million, which exceeded the purchase price of $19.2 million resulting, in a deficiency of approximately $4.1 million. The deficiency has been allocated to reduce proportionately the long-lived tangible and intangible assets on the basis of relative fair values based on an independent third-party valuation. The following table sets forth the allocation (in thousands):

Note 3. Discontinued Operations

2002 Discontinued Operations

        As discussed in Note 2, on August 9, 2002, the Company and its subsidiaries sold the assets of its e-learning segments. In connection with the sale, the Company announced that it would focus its efforts and operate in its existing permission e-mail marketing segment. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, all operations that have been sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. All prior period financial information has been restated to reflect the discontinued operations.

        The Company recorded a net loss from disposal of discontinued operations totaling $7.0 million, which is included in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 (see Note 2).

        The net loss from discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $6.1 million. Revenues and net loss generated by the e-learning segments were as follows (in thousands):

 
  Year Ended December 31, 2002
 
Net revenues   $ 2,709  
   
 
Impairment of long-lived assets     (1,716 )
Other costs and expenses     (7,081 )
   
 
      (8,797 )
   
 
Net loss from discontinued operations   $ (6,088 )
   
 

        The $1.7 million impairment of long-lived assets is related to the write-down of fixed assets including $860,000 for property and equipment, $138,000 for software, and $718,000 for the write-down of the building in Pryor, Oklahoma.

        Included in the $7.1 million of other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002, are costs related to operating the discontinued e-learning segments such as research and development, sales and marketing, and administrative expenses as well as severance related to workforce reductions, partially offset by excess accruals for legacy liabilities related to the e-learning segment.

F-15



        The results of discontinued operations do not include any interest income, interest expense or allocation of general corporate expenses. General corporate expenses consist of general and administrative overhead expenses, including expenses associated with the general responsibilities of a public company, and exclude those costs associated with the Company's e-learning business.

2001 Discontinued Operations

        Until April 19, 2001, the Company operated under a single reportable segment transportation management solutions. On April 19, 2001, the Company entered into a merger agreement under which it would merge with Learn2.com and announced it would phase-out its existing transportation management solutions business prior to the completion of the merger. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements and notes included herein reflect these businesses as discontinued operations in accordance with APB No. 30.

        Revenues and net loss generated by the discontinued operations for both the e-learning and transportation management solutions businesses were as follows:

Note 4. Restructuring Costs And Non-Recurring Costs

        During 2000, the Company undertook two corporate restructurings. In July 2000, the Company restructured its organization to focus on the development, marketing and sales of its transportation management solutions and reduce emphasis on its Internet postage business. In November 2000, the Company restructured the organization to phase out its Internet postage business. The Company incurred charges of approximately $20.3 million related to these restructurings, which is included in the net loss from discontinued operations.

        In connection with the phase-out of the Internet postage business, the Company allowed customers to return certain items purchased since September 1, 2000 for a full refund. As a result, the Company did not recognize revenue on Internet postage products in the fourth quarter of 2000 and recorded a reserve for sales returns to cover the refund of Internet postage products that occurred after September 1, 2000. Sales of Internet postage products totaled $0.6 million from September 1, 2000 through November 2000.

        The restructuring charge included $2.3 million related to severance and other employee costs associated with the elimination of 52 positions. Costs associated with employee termination included severance pay and medical and other benefits. All of the affected employees had been notified as of December 31, 2000. Of the 52 terminated employees, 32 had left the Company by December 31, 2000 and the remaining 20 employees left at various dates through April 30, 2001. Asset write-offs as a result of the abandonment of the Internet postage business totaled $13.3 million. This amount included $6.9 million related to property and equipment, $4.6 million related to prepaid marketing and warranty agreements, $1.4 million for inventory and $.4 million for accounts receivable.

F-17



        The Company also recorded charges totaling $2.9 million related to costs to terminate various agreements with suppliers, partners and lessors arising from the decision to phase out the Internet postage business.

        On February 22, 2001, the Company announced a further reduction in force and the elimination of forty-five employees and contractors from its workforce. In connection with this action, the Company incurred severance expense of $392,000. This expense is included in loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2002. All costs were paid as of December 31, 2001.

        On March 4, 2002, the Company announced that it would phase out its production and distribution operations in Pryor, Oklahoma and close certain field sales operations and eliminated approximately sixty positions. Severance and related expenses attributable to the elimination of these positions was approximately $409,000. Asset write-offs as a result of the closing of the facility totaled approximately $843,000 related to property and equipment, $145,000 related to software, and $268,000 related to the write-down of the value of its Pryor, Oklahoma building. All of these costs are included in loss from discontinued operations.

        Also, in March 2002, a subsidiary of the Company, abandoned its office space in White Plains, New York and defaulted on the lease relating to that space. In the first quarter of 2002, as a result of these actions and events, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $1.1 million. Approximately $937,000 was related to the Company's remaining lease obligation and approximately $206,000 was related to the write-off of fixed assets. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company and the subsidiary reached a settlement with the landlord on its remaining lease obligation on the office space in White Plains, New York. As a result, the Company reversed approximately $770 of the restructuring accrual recorded in the first quarter of 2002. This net charge of $167 is included as restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Note 6. Other Liabilities

        In January 2002, a complaint was filed against the Company alleging certain common law claims. In connection with the settlement of the complaint, on January 24, 2002 the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000 accruing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The promissory note is due and payable upon the earlier of (i) the completion of a Financing (as defined in the promissory note) or (ii) any dissolution, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction involving our company. At December 31, 2002, the principal amount of the promissory note and accrued interest totaled $440,000 and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 7. Stockholders' Equity

Sales Of Common Stock

        On September 10, 1999, the Company issued 726,745 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 83,855 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to investors for cash proceeds of $5.0 million. The fair value of the common stock and warrants was deemed by management to be $7.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the warrants was computed using the Black-Scholes method using the following assumptions: expected volatility of 100%, expected life of 3 years, risk free interest rate of 6.0% and expected dividend yield of 0.0%. The warrants were exercised in 1999.

F-20



        In connection with the issuance of common stock and warrants, the Company and the investors signed non-binding letters of intent to negotiate for a period of up to one year to enter into definitive joint venture, joint marketing, cooperation, or technology development agreements. The Company recorded the $3.8 million excess of the fair value of the common stock and warrants over the consideration received as deferred distribution costs (as a contra equity account). The balance was amortized to expense over the one-year period covered by the letter of intent. Amortization of deferred distribution costs amounted to $2.9 million in 2000 and $0.9 million in 1999. At December 31, 2000, the balance had been fully amortized.

1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        In September 1999, the board of directors and stockholders adopted the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). A total of 850,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP permits eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company's common stock through periodic payroll deductions of up to 15% of total compensation. No more than 5,000 shares may be purchased on any purchase date per employee. Each offering period will have a maximum duration of 24 months. The price at which the common stock may be purchased is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period or on the last day of the respective purchase period. No shares were purchased in 2002 and 2001. In 2000, 151,627 shares were purchased at a weighted average price of $3.01. At December 31, 2002, 1,048,373 shares remain available for future issuance.

Stock Option Plans

        Pursuant to the Company's, the 1999 Stock Plan and the 1999 Director Option Plan (together, the "Plans"), the board of directors or one of its designated committees are authorized to grant incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options to employees, officers and directors of the Company. As of December 31, 2002, a total of 10.1 million shares remain available for future grants under the Plans.

        Stock options are limited to ten-year terms, and the exercise price for stock options may not be less than the fair value of the shares on the date of grant for incentive stock options and is subject to the discretion of the committee for nonstatutory stock options. Restricted stock may be granted at no cost to recipients. Compensation expense, if any, equal to the fair value of the restricted stock or stock options granted in excess of the purchase or exercise price, is recognized over the related vesting period using the graded vesting method.

        In May 2000, in connection with the acquisitions of Infinity Logistics Corporation and Automated Logistics Corp., the Company assumed the option plans of these companies and converted all outstanding options to purchase the common stock of these companies to options to purchase the Company's common stock. The assumed options have a maximum term of ten years and generally vested ratably over two to four years on a monthly basis. No further options can be granted under the Infinity and Automated Logistics plans.

        In September 2001, in connection with the merger with Learn2.com, Inc., the Company assumed the option plans of Learn2.com and converted all outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock of Learn2.com into options to purchase 5.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. The options have a maximum term of ten years. Of these, options to purchase 3.4 million shares vested as a result of the merger. Options to purchase 1.2 million shares vest in April 2002 and the remainder vest over the next four years. No further options can be granted under the Learn2.com, Inc. plans.

F-21



        On December 4, 2001, the Company's board of directors approved a stock option exchange program. Under the terms of the exchange program, the Company offered to exchange all outstanding unexercised options with an exercise price greater than $0.12 per share (the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 20, 2001, the date the Offer to Exchange commenced) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock held by eligible employees, officers and directors for new options the Company granted under the 1999 Stock Plan. Employees, officers and directors were "eligible" to participate in the offer if they (i) were employees, officers and/or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries on September 25, 2001, and (ii) were employees, officers and/or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries on both (A) the date the offer commenced and (B) the date Company granted new options under the Plan, which was August 1, 2002.

        The number of shares subject to the new options that were granted to each eligible employee, officer and director was equal to the number of shares subject to the options tendered by the eligible employee, officer and director and accepted for exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this offer, the grant date for the new options was on August 1, 2002. The offer expired on January 28, 2002. The Company accepted for cancellation options to purchase 4,391,140 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued new options to purchase up to a total of 2,681,255 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for the options surrendered in the offer on August 1, 2002 and priced at its closing market price as reported in the Nasdaq National Market (or any other securities quotation system or any stock exchange on which are shares are then quoted or listed) of $0.04 per share.

Deferred Stock Compensation

        During 2000, the Company reversed approximately $3.9 million of deferred stock compensation related to unvested stock options that were forfeited upon the employee's termination of employment.

        During 2001, the Company reversed approximately $1.9 million of deferred stock compensation related to unvested stock options that were forfeited upon the employee's termination of employment.

        During 2002, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation expense totaling approximately $451,000.

        In 2000, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of $1.2 million related to the acquisitions of Infinity Logistics Corporation and Automated Logistics Corp. Approximately $0.9 million of this amount related to an agreement with a stockholder of Infinity Logistics Corporation and Automated Logistics Corp. to remain an employee of the Company for a two-year period. The remainder related to stock options that were assumed by the Company. The amounts related to stock options were being amortized by charges to operations over the vesting periods of the individual stock options using the graded vesting method. The amount related to the agreement with the stockholder of Infinity Logistics Corporation and Automated Logistics Corp. was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the two-year vesting period. In 2001, in connection with the Company's decision to discontinue its digital shipper business, the unamortized deferred stock compensation relating to Infinity Logistics and Automated Logistics Corp. acquisitions was written-off and is included in the net loss from discontinued operations.

        The amounts amortized were approximately $2.3 million and $8.0 million in 2001and 2000, respectively and are included in net loss from discontinued operations.

Stock Subject To Rescission

        Shares issued under the Company's 1996 Employee Plan, 1996 Director Plan and 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plans") prior to October 14, 1999 may not have qualified for exemption from registration or qualification under federal and state securities laws and therefore may be subject to rescission. On February 2, 2000, the Company filed a rescission offer for 5,682,341 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering shares of common stock issued under the Plans. The Company may file a request to withdraw the registration

F-24



statement. Because the Act does not provide that a rescission offer will terminate a purchaser's right to rescind a sale of stock and a significant portion of the shares have been resold for a price in excess of the original purchase price paid by the optionees, the Company does not intend to extend the rescission offer to the optionees. Management believes that the Company does not have a contingent liability resulting from the issuance of stock to these optionees that would materially and adversely impact the results of operations or financial position of the Company. Shares subject to rescission have been included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheets.

Stock Subject to Repurchase

        As of December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company had 3,358,570 and 425,882 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, that were subject to repurchase. All of the shares subject to repurchase at December 31, 1999 and 193,262 shares at December 31, 2000 are the result of the exercise of unvested stock options by employees in exchange for notes and cash. These shares vest over the four-year vesting period of the underlying exercised stock options. At December 31, 2000, the remaining 232,620 shares subject to repurchase relate to the earn-out agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Infinity Logistics Corporation and Automated Logistics Corp. The right to repurchase these shares is at the sole discretion of the Company.

        As of December 31, 2001, the Company had 96,086 shares that were subject to repurchase. All of the shares subject to repurchase at December 31, 2001 are the result of the exercise of unvested stock options by employees in exchange for notes and cash. These shares vest over the four-year vesting period of the underlying exercised stock options. At December 31, 2002, the Company had zero shares that were subject to repurchase.

        In September 2000, the Company repurchased unvested shares as part of the severance arrangement from two terminated employees at a price exceeding the fair value of the stock at the date of repurchase. The Company recorded expense of $0.6 million in connection with the repurchase, which is included in loss from discontinued operations.

Notes Receivable From Stockholders

        In 1999 and 1998, the Company received $3.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of full recourse notes receivable from employees that bear interest at 6% per annum in consideration for the exercise of stock options. Interest on the notes was payable annually on the anniversary date of the note and principle is due on the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the note or 90 days after termination of employment. In 2000 and 1999, the Company received payments on the notes of $247,000 and $168,000, respectively. In 2000 and 1999, the Company canceled notes totaling $2.7 million and $27,000, respectively, in connection with the repurchase of shares or rescission of option exercises upon termination of certain note holders.

        In October 2000, the Company allowed four officers to rescind their exercise of stock options with respect to the unvested portion of the shares exercised. A total of 1,304,687 shares were returned to the Company in exchange for the cancellation of promissory notes totaling $1.1 million. In connection with the rescission, the Company recognized compensation expense of $121,000. The Company granted to two of the officers replacement options for a total of 1,035,156 shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, the fair market value on the date of the grant. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, no compensation expense was recognized in connection with the replacement option because the exercise price was equal to the fair market

F-25



value on the date of grant and also was in excess of the exercise price for the options that were rescinded.

        In September 2001, the Company forgave the promissory notes issued by three of the officers in their entirety together with a tax gross up on the forgiveness. The principal amount currently outstanding under the remaining promissory note issued to an officer is approximately $469,688 and under the terms of the officer's retention agreement, the loan will be forgiven in the event that the officer's employment is terminated without cause or as result of constructive termination within the two year period following the completion of the merger. In 2002, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reduce the original exercise price to $0.075 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on that date. As a result, the outstanding principal balance of the note was reduced to approximately $49,000. Subsequently, the officer surrendered his right, title and interest in the shares held as collateral in exchange for the note.

Shares Reserved

        As of December 31, 2002, the common shares reserved for future issuance were as follows (in thousands):

Stock options   15,833
Employee stock purchase plans   1,048
   
  Total shares reserved   16,881
   

Warrants

        In connection with the acquisition of Learn2.com, the Company assumed warrants to exercise approximately 1,299,000 shares of its common stock with exercise prices ranging from $1.98 to $15.61 per share. The warrants expire at various dates through June of 2005.

        In October 2002, the Company agreed to a mutual release with a former employee, under which the Company was relieved from its severance obligations in exchange for a one-time payment of $25,000 and the issuance of a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.07 per share, which represented the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on that date. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The warrant vested immediately and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The expense related to this warrant was $1,506 and is included in loss from discontinued operations included in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Note 8. Major Customers And Concentration Of Credit Risk

        SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk", requires disclosure of any significant off balance sheet and credit risk concentration. The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign currency exchange contracts or other hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk are accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions. Two customers accounted for 43.2% and 29.4% of revenues, respectively for 2002. These two customers also represented 46.3% and 35.1% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2002. Subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Company has collected 91.7% of the amounts due from both of these customers. One customer accounted for of the Company's 2001 23.9% revenue and 21.1% of its accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2001. All amounts due from the customer as of December 31, 2001 were collected subsequent to year-end. No customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's total net revenues in 2000. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans

        The Company sponsors 401(k) plans for its employees allowing employees that qualify for participation under the plans to contribute up to 15% of their salary, before taxes, subject to a maximum contribution limit determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches 50% of participant contributions up to a maximum of 6% of a participant's salary. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company made contributions to the plans of approximately $83,000, $38,000 and $218,000 respectively. Learn2 does not provide any post-retirement benefits other than the 401(k) plans.

Note 10. Income Taxes

        Due to operating losses, no income tax provision has been recorded for 2002 and 2001 and 2000.

        Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities for federal and state tax purposes are as follows (in thousands):

 
  December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2001
 
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 72,000   $ 69,000  
Research and development credit carryforwards     2,100     2,100  
Other     (1,200 )   (3,300 )
   
 
 
Total deferred tax assets     72,900     67,800  
Valuation allowance     (72,900 )   (67,800 )
   
 
 
Net deferred tax assets   $   $  
   
 
 

        FAS 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes the Company's historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in prior years, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

F-27



        As of December 31, 2002, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $197.2 million. The net operating loss carryfowards will expire at various dates beginning 2012 through 2022, if not utilized. The Company also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.9 million. The federal credit carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2011 through 2020, if not utilized.

        Utilization of some of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.

Note 11. Commitments And Contingencies

(A) Leases—

        The Company entered into an operating lease agreement on February 25, 2000 for office space in Mountain View, California. As a result of the merger with Learn2.com, the Company closed its corporate headquarters in Mountain View and negotiated a settlement with the lessor of approximately $1.6 million. This amount is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 as part of the gain on disposal of discontinued operations.

        The Company leases a 7,788 square foot office in Belmont, California where substantially all of our employees work. The lease expires April 30, 2004 with a five-year renewal term. The Company also leased 1,800 square feet office space in Stamford, Connecticut. The lease expires March 31, 2003. The total rent expense for both offices totaled approximately $117,000 in 2002. Rent expense for 2001 and 2000 was $507,000 and $427,000, respectively. The Company's payment under the terms of its leases is $100,000 in 2003 and $33,333 in 2004.

        In addition to the lease in Belmont, California referred to above, in connection with the merger with Learn2.com, the Company assumed lease obligations for facilities in White Plains, New York and Golden, Colorado. In 2002, in settlement of these two obligations, the Company agreed to pay the lessors of these two facilities a total of $55,682 plus our security deposits of $174,562, related to those leases. The total payments of $190,667 for the White Plains, New York lease is included in the restructuring charge in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The total of $39,577 for the Golden, Colorado lease is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

        Also in connection with the merger with Learn2.com, the Company acquired a land and building in Pryor, Oklahoma. The land and building were sold in 2002 for $270,000. In 2002, the Company wrote-off down the building to its fair value of $270,000. The write-down of $718,000 is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        As of December 31, 2002, the Company's principal commitments consist of obligations to pay amounts related to the settlement of various lawsuits totaling $240,000 with $170,000 due in 2003 and $70,000 due in 2004. One of these settlement agreements requires the Company to pay $10,000, monthly through July of 2004. If the Company fails to make these monthly payments on a timely basis, the Company would be liable for the full amount of the judgment totaling $399,754 plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum from September 12, 2001 to the date of the payoff plus attorney fees in the amount of $15,000. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has only accrued the remaining payments under the settlement agreement.

F-28


        Additionally, the Company's lease and other contractual obligations totaled $335,000, and future minimum lease payments required under operating leases and other contractual requirements with initial or remaining noncancellable terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2002, were $314,000 in 2003, $17,000 in 2004, $4,000 in 2005. There are no commitments beyond 2005. The Company's unconditional purchase obligations, as defined by SFAS No. 47, "Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations," were immaterial.

(B) Litigation

        On March 16, 2001, Mr. Joseph Pavel filed a purported consumer class action suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings. The suit alleges that the Company breached its contract with the plaintiff and other customers. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and disgorgement of monies received in connection with the sale of Internet postage products. By agreement of the parties, the plaintiff dismissed the New York action and refiled in Santa Clara County, California on or about May 24, 2001. The Company filed the answer to the complaint on June 18, 2001. On February 20, 2002, the Court granted Plaintiff's motion for class certification. The Company reached a settlement with the Plaintiff and has received final court approval of the settlement. The approval of this settlement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

        The Company settled its lawsuit with Sales and Marketing Technologies, Inc. The final settlement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

        In October 2002, the Company settled a previously disclosed suit by a former employee of a wholly-owned subsidiary alleging breach of contract and conversion in connection with a severance agreement between the plaintiff and the Company. The amount of the settlement has been accrued for and is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002 and other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        On February 6, 2002, Morrison & Foerster, a law firm, filed suit against a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County, California. The plaintiff alleges a violation of California Business & Professional Code, Section 17538.45 and 17200 et. seq., in connection with permission e-mail marketing services. The suit was later modified to include the Company as a defendant. The plaintiff seeks statutory damages, to enjoin the Company and the subsidiary from further violations of the specified statutes, costs and fees. The Company and the subsidiary are vigorously defending this action. These legal proceedings have resulted and can be expected to continue to result in expenses and the diversion of management time and other resources.

        On July 18, 2002, Joseph Rydell filed suit against the Company and certain other parties in the Circuit Court of Cook County in the State of Illinois. The plaintiff alleges a violation of the Illinois Electronic Mail Act and the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, in connection with permission e-mail marketing services. The plaintiff seeks actual and punitive damages, and costs and fees. The Company is vigorously defending this action. Pendency of these legal proceedings can be expected to result in expenses to the Company and the diversion of management time and other resources.

        In July 2002, the Company was sued by MicroAge, Inc., relating to a claim that Micro Age's payment to the Company of $163,800 in January 2000 is recoverable to MicroAge as a preference in MicroAge's bankruptcy in United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Arizona. The payment was for products and services delivered by the Company to MicroAge. In February 2003, the Company was

F-29



notified that a default judgment had been entered on behalf of the plaintiff in the amount of $163,800. The Company negotiated a settlement with MicroAge in the amount of $25,000. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company is required make two payments of $15,000 due on March 17, 2003 and $10,000 due on May 3, 2003. If the Company does not make the payments in accordance with the settlement agreement, the Company would be liable for the full judgment of $163,800 plus accrued interest. On March 17, 2003, the Company made the first schedule payment. This amount of $25,000 is included as other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        The Company entered has entered into various settlement agreements during 2002. One of these settlement agreements requires the Company to pay $10,000, monthly through July of 2004. If the Company fails to make these monthly payments on a timely basis, the Company would be liable for the full amount of the judgment totaling $399, 754 plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum from September 12, 2001 to the date of the payoff plus attorney fees in the amount of $15,000. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has only accrued the remaining payments under the settlement agreement. This amount totaled $190,000.

        In addition, the Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are vigorously contesting all matters referred to above and management believes that their ultimate resolution may have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 12. Loss Per Share

        Loss per share has been computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS 128"), which requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, shares subject to repurchase, warrants and convertible securities. The Company's potentially dilutive securities were antidilutive and therefore were not included in the computation of weighted-average shares used in computing diluted loss per share. Therefore, the Company's basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

        The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2002
  2001
  2000
 
Loss from continuing operations   $ (2,624 ) $ (7,964 ) $ (4,426 )
Loss from discontinued operations     (13,130 )   (14,477 )   (108,400 )
   
 
 
 
Net loss attributable to common stockholders   $ (15,754 ) $ (22,441 ) $ (112,826 )
   
 
 
 
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding     75,765     48,525     39,251  
Less: weighted-average shares subject to repurchase     (48 )   (156 )   (2,107 )
   
 
 
 
Shares used in computing loss per share, basic and diluted     75,717     48,369     37,144  
   
 
 
 
Loss per share, basic and diluted:                    
  Continuing operations   $ (0.04 ) $ (0.16 ) $ (0.12 )
  Discontinued operations   $ (0.17 ) $ (0.30 ) $ (2.92 )
  Net loss attributable to common stockholders   $ (0.21 ) $ (0.46 ) $ (3.04 )

F-30


        The total number of shares excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share were 4,113,000, 13,410,000 and 3,683,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Such securities, had they been dilutive, would have been included in the computations of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

        On March 28, 2003, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into an agreement with the buyer of the e-learning assets whereby the buyer agreed to pay the Company $540,000 to buy-out the remaining earn-out payments and monies owed to the Company for consigned inventory and purchased receivables. As a result, the Company wrote-off the receivable representing the present value of the minimum earn-out payments to $540,000. On March 31, 2003, the Company received the first payment of $100,000 and received the remaining payment of $440,000 on April 7, 2003.
