offering expenses
were $16,739. In connection with the IPO, the Company paid a dividend of $2,543 to the Parent

completion of the IPO.
The Company believes the assumptions underlying the financial statements are reasonable.
However, the financial statements may not necessarily reflect its results of operations, financial
position and cash flows in the future or what the Companys results of operations, financial
position and cash flows would have been had the Company been a separate, stand-alone company during
the periods presented. The historical financial information presented herein does not reflect the
many significant changes that will occur in the Companys funding and operations as a result of
becoming a public company or its spin-off from PC Mall.
In July 2004, the Companys board of directors declared a 1.4-for-1 stock split, which was
effective upon completion of the Companys IPO. The stock split has been given retroactive effect
in the accompanying financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred operating losses of $2,059 and $8,187 (unaudited), and used cash in
operations of $139 and $8,307 (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. While there is no single condition or event
responsible for the Companys net losses, the Company has experienced a number of significant
operational challenges related to the spin-off from PC Mall and to its transition to a standalone
public entity. Net sales have declined in each consecutive quarter of 2005, while the Companys
cost structure became burdened with additional costs related to being a standalone public entity.
Management has undertaken several operational and strategic initiatives to address the current
situation and return the Company to profitability including:
| |
|
|
Focusing sales efforts on product margin as a priority over volume. |
| |
| |
|
|
Leveraging automated analytical tools in order to more efficiently set prices for the
Companys products. |
| |
| |
|
|
Better automating and optimizing advertising efforts. |
| |
| |
|
|
Implementing various strategies to reduce freight costs and increase recoupment on
freight. |
| |
| |
|
|
Streamlining warehouse operations by bringing in a more experienced management staff,
improving the returns and cycle count processes, and implementing better velocity
management practices. |
| |
| |
|
|
Reducing the Companys cost structure through targeted reductions in the workforce, and
exploring options for transitioning certain operations offshore. |
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,790 and $6,290 (unaudited) as of December 31,
2004 and September 30, 2005, respectively. In addition, the Company has an asset-based line of
credit of up to $15,000 with a financial institution, which is collateralized by substantially all
of its assets (see Note 3). Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible
accounts receivable, and letter of credit availability is limited to a percentage of accounts
receivable and inventory. As of December 31, 2004 the Company had no borrowings or letters of
credit outstanding under this line of credit and as of September 30, 2005, the Company had no
borrowings under this line of credit.
The Companys need for cash is dependant on its operating activities and if the Company does
not maintain or increase sales or control expenses, it will require additional cash in the near
term. The Companys forecasts and projections of working capital needs require significant judgment
and estimates, and there are inherent risks and uncertainty associated with such forecasts and
projections. The Company will continue to evaluate its liquidity on an ongoing basis and may need
to pursue additional financing if it is not successful in achieving its current forecasts and
projections. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on
acceptable terms or at all. If it is available, it may be senior to the Companys common stock and
dilutive to the Companys shareholders.
