$4.7 million, net of $0.2 million of pass-through charges, for the year ended December 31, 2002. Prior to becoming a related party, service fees earned by PFSweb from BSD (the Daisytek subsidiary and predecessor to Supplies Distributors), associated with the same business activities, were $6.0 million, net of $0.5 million of pass-through charges, for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2001, our revenue was negatively impacted by lower than anticipated IBM related activity due to the transition to Supplies Distributors from Daisytek but was benefited by approximately $0.8 million of service fee adjustments resulting from the finalization of the Daisytek contract.

     Other Revenue. Other revenue of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 represents the fees charged to clients in conjunction with early contract terminations.

     Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue was $54.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, which reflects cost of product sales for Supplies Distributors subsequent to its consolidation effective October 1, 2002. Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 94.5% during the year ended December 31, 2002 and zero during the year ended December 31, 2001. The resulting gross profit margin was 5.5% for the year ended December 31, 2002. Supplies Distributors had $154.3 million of cost of product revenue, prior to consolidation, or a total of $208.6 million of cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002.

     Cost of Net Service Fee Revenue. Cost of net service fee revenue was $22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $25.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $3.1 million or 12.3%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $13.2 million or 36.7% of net service fee revenue, during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $13.4 million, or 34.1% of net service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. Our gross profit as a percent of net service fee revenue increased in the year ended December 31, 2002, because the gross profit percentage earned on certain contracts terminated in calendar year 2001 was lower than the contracts operating in calendar year 2002. This was partially offset by $0.4 million of costs in excess of start up fees incurred for a new client implementation during the year ended December 31, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2001, our gross profit margin was negatively impacted by lower than anticipated IBM related activity due to the transition to Supplies Distributors from Daisytek but was benefited by approximately $0.8 million of service fee adjustments resulting from the finalization of the Daisytek contract for which the related service activities were performed in earlier periods.

     Cost of Other Net Revenue. Cost of other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 of ($0.6) million primarily reflects the benefit associated with the reversal of accruals made in the previous years for estimated client termination costs that were determined to be in excess of actual costs incurred.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 28.9% of total net revenues, as compared to $23.3 million, or 58.6% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. SG&A expenses increased over the prior year due to approximately $2.8 million of technology infrastructure costs that were incurred in both periods but that were recorded as a component of cost of service fee revenue in the prior year. These technology costs were principally dedicated to the activities that generated service fee revenue under the transaction management services contract with Daisytek, which was terminated in November 2001. In addition, SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001, were benefited by the favorable resolution of certain accounts and VAT receivables. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from the prior year due to the increase in total net revenues, resulting from the inclusion of product sales subsequent to the consolidation of Holdings effective October 1, 2002.

     Severance and Other Terminations Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $1.2 million of severance and other termination charges associated with a restructuring plan to reduce costs.

     Asset and Lease Impairments. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $0.9 million of expense for asset impairment and abandonment charges. This charge relates to an older warehouse management system that was upgraded to a new system during the year, as well as the disposition of certain other assets no longer used in the business.

     Equity in Earnings of Affiliate. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $1.2 million of equity in earnings of affiliate that represents our allocation of Holdings’ earnings prior to October 1, 2002.
