PART I

Item 1. Business

General

     PFSweb is a leading provider of outsourcing services. These services include web-site development and hosting, order management, call center, product kitting and assembly, order fulfillment, warehousing, credit and collections, technology solutions and more. Collectively we define this group of services as Business Process Outsourcing because we offer our clients infrastructure and technology capabilities that can address an entire business transaction cycle, from demand generation to product delivery.

     PFSweb serves as the “brand behind the brand” for companies seeking to increase their supply chain efficiencies. As a business process outsourcer, we offer scalable and cost-effective solutions for manufacturers, distributors, retailers and direct marketing organizations. We provide our clients with seamless and transparent solutions to support their business strategies, allowing them to focus on their core competencies while we provide cost effective capabilities for areas of their business that are not core competencies. Leveraging PFSweb’s technology, expertise and proven methodology, we enable client organizations to develop and deploy new products quickly and implement new business strategies or address new distribution channels rapidly and efficiently through our optimized solutions. Our clients engage us both as a consulting partner to assist them in the design of a business solution as well as a virtual and physical infrastructure partner providing the mission critical operations required to build and manage that business solution. Together, we not only help our clients define new ways of doing business, but also provide them the technology and physical infrastructure necessary to quickly implement this new business model. We allow our clients to quickly and dramatically change how they ‘go-to-market.’

     Each client has a unique business model and unique strategic objectives that require highly customized solutions. Clients in a wide array of industries, from computer products to cosmetics to consumer goods to collectibles, turn to PFSweb for help in addressing a variety of business issues, such as customer satisfaction, production capacity requirements, vendor integration, supply chain compression, cost realignment, international & domestic transportation management and international expansion, among others. We also act as a constructive agent of change, providing clients the ability to alter their current distribution model, establish direct relationships with end-customers, and reduce the overall time and costs associated with existing distribution channel strategies. Our clients are seeking solutions that will provide them with dynamic supply chain and channel marketing efficiencies, while ultimately delivering a world-class customer service experience.

     Our technology and business infrastructures are adaptable, changeable and reliable. This flexibility allows us to design custom, variable cost solutions to fit the business requirements of our client’s strategies. We earn revenue from two distinct business segments, yet operationally similar business models:

	•		First, we earn service fee revenues from charges to process individual business transactions on our client’s behalf through our technology and infrastructure capabilities. These business transactions may include the answering of a phone call or an e-mail, the design and hosting of a client web-site, the receipt and storage of our client’s inventory, the assembly of a kit of products to meet our client’s customer’s specifications, the shipping of products to our client’s customers, the management of a complex set of electronic data transactions designed to keep our client’s suppliers and customers accounting records in balance, or the processing of a returned package. In the service fee revenue business segment, we do not own the inventory or the resulting accounts receivable, but provide management services for these client-owned assets.
	•		Secondly, we earn product revenue through our master distributor relationship with certain clients. In the product revenue business segment, we purchase inventory, and upon sale of the product, own the accounts receivable.

     Our capabilities are expansive. To offer the most necessary and resourceful products to our clients, we are continually developing capabilities to meet the pressing business issues in the marketplace. Our business objective is to focus on “Leading the Evolution of Outsourcing.” As our tagline suggests, we will continue to evolve our service offerings to meet the needs of the marketplace and the demands of unique client requirements. We are most

1

successful when we develop a new capability to enable a client to pursue a new initiative and we are then able to leverage that revolutionary development across other client or prospect solutions, as it becomes “best practice” in the marketplace. Our team of experts design and build diverse solutions for Fortune 1000, Global 2000 and brand name clients around a flexible core of technology and physical infrastructure that includes:

•

Technology collaboration provided by our suite of technology services, called the Entente Suite(SM), that are e-commerce and collaboration services that enable buyers and suppliers to fully automate their business transactions within their supply chain. Entente supports industry standard collaboration techniques including XML based protocols such as Biztalk and RosettaNet, real-time application interfaces, text file exchanges via secured FTP, and traditional electronic data interchange (“EDI”);

•

Managed hosting and internet application development services, including web site design, creation, integration and ongoing maintenance, support and enhancement of web site;

•

Order management, including order processing from any source of entry, back order processing and future order processing, tracking and tracing, credit management, electronic payment processing, calculation and collection of sales tax and VAT, comprehensive freight calculation and email notification, all with multiple currency and language options;

•

Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), including interactive voice response (“IVR”) technology and web-enabled customer contact services through world-class call centers utilizing voice, e-mail, voice over internet protocol (“VOIP”) and internet chat communications that are fully integrated with real-time systems and historical data archives to provide complete customer lifecycle management;

•

International fulfillment and distribution services, including warehouse management, inventory management, inventory postponement, product warehousing, order picking and packing, transportation management and reverse logistics;

•

•

Information management, including real-time data interfaces, data exchange services and data mining;

•

Financial services, including secure on-line credit card processing related services, fraud protection, invoicing, credit management and collection, and working capital solutions; and

•

Professional consulting services, including a consultative team of experts that customize solutions to each client and continuously seek out ways to increase efficiencies and produce benefits for the client.

     We are headquartered in Plano, Texas where our executive and administrative offices are located as well as our primary technology laboratories and hosting facilities. We operate state-of-the-art call centers from our U.S. facilities located in Plano, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee, and from our international facility located in Liege, Belgium. We have approximately one million square feet of warehouse space located across our facilities in Memphis, Toronto and Liege allowing us to provide global distribution solutions. These distribution facilities are highly automated and contain state of the art material handling and communications equipment. We provide solutions to clients that are often regarded as market leaders in a variety of different industries. Those industries include technology manufacturing, telecommunications, computer consumables, direct marketing, apparel, retailing, collectibles, consumer goods, personal care/cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and consumer electronics, among others.

Industry Overview

     Business activities in the public and private sectors continue to operate in an environment of rapid technological advancement, increasing competition and continuous pressure to improve operating and supply chain efficiency while decreasing costs. We currently see the following trends within the industry:

•

Manufacturers strive to restructure their supply chains to maximize efficiency and reduce costs in both business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”) markets and to create a variable-cost supply chain able to support the multiple unique needs of each of their initiatives, including traditional and electronic commerce.

•

Government agencies are increasingly focused on improved citizen usability and interaction, as well as the need to manage government initiatives from an efficiency perspective. With revisions to the United States Government’s Competitive Sourcing Program (A-76), the government is mandated to obtain commercially available goods and services from the private sector when it makes economic sense to do so.

•

Companies in a variety of industries seek outsourcing as a method to address one or more business functions that are not within their core business competencies, to reduce operating costs or to improve the speed or cost of implementation.

Supply Chain Management Trend

     As companies maintain focus on improving their businesses and balance sheet financial ratios, significant efforts and investments continue to be made identifying ways to maximize supply chain efficiency and extend supply chain processes. Working capital financing, vendor managed inventory, supply chain visibility software solutions, distribution channel skipping, direct to consumer e-commerce sales initiatives, and complex upstream supply chain collaborative technology are products that manufacturers seek to help them achieve greater supply chain efficiency. International Data Corporation (“IDC”) forecasts that the supply chain management services market will represent the largest solutions services opportunity, reaching $40.5 billion by 2007, which we believe includes the type of products described above, that monitor, manage, and optimize companies’ extended supply chains.

     A key business challenge facing many manufacturers and retailers as they evaluate their supply chain efficiency is in determining how the trend for consumers to shop via the Internet in an electronic commerce fashion will affect their traditional commerce business model. According to eMarketer’s eBusiness in 2003 review, B2B worldwide e-commerce is expected to grow at an annual rate of between 50% and 60%, and in the U.S. B2B e-commerce is expected to grow from $721 billion in 2003 to $1.3 trillion in 2005. Forrester Research projects that U.S. B2C e-commerce activity will reach nearly $230 billion in 2008, and will account for 10 percent of total U.S. retail sales. We believe that companies will continue to strategically plan for the impact that e-commerce and other new technology advancements will have on their traditional commerce business models and their existing technology and infrastructure capabilities.

     Manufacturers, as buyers of materials, are also imposing new business practices and policies on their supplier partners in order to shift the normal supply chain costs and risks associated with inventory ownership away from their own balance sheets. Through techniques like Vendor Managed Inventory (“VMI”) or Consigned Inventory Programs (“CIP”), manufacturers are asking their suppliers, as a part of the supplier selection process, to provide capabilities where the manufacturer need not own, or even possess, inventory prior to the exact moment that unit of inventory is required as a raw material component or for shipping to a customer. To be successful for all parties, business models such as these often require a sophisticated collection of technological capabilities that allow for complete integration and collaboration of the information technology environments of both the buyer and supplier. For example, in order for an inventory unit to arrive at the precise required moment in the manufacturing facility, it is necessary for the Manufacturing Resource Planning (“MRP”) systems of the manufacturer to integrate with the CRM systems of the supplier. When hundreds of supplier partners are involved, this process can become quite complex and technologically challenging. Buyers and suppliers are seeking solutions that utilize XML based protocols like Biztalk, RosettaNet and other traditional EDI standards in order to ensure an open systems platform that promotes easier technology integration in these collaborative solutions.

Government Outsourcing Trend

     In 2001, a task force was launched to identify priority actions to achieve strategic improvements in government and set in motion a transformation of government around citizens’ needs. The federal government formulated an E-Government strategy in 2002, which was created to support multi-agency projects that improve citizen services and yield performance gains. Also, recent revisions to government mandate A-76 state that Government agencies must conduct thorough audits to determine the lowest cost and most efficient method of doing business, and to outsource to the public sector when in-house operations are unable to compete.

     As stated in the February 2002 E-Government Strategy document developed by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) E-Government task force, the primary goals for this initiative are to:

•

Make it easy for citizens to obtain service and interact with the federal government;

•

Improve government efficiency and effectiveness; and

•

Improve the government’s responsiveness to citizens.

     According to the E-Government Strategy document, for fiscal year 2005, the federal government’s investment in information technology (IT) is estimated to be $59 billion. The continued investment made in IT spending provides opportunities for the government to continue to transform itself into a citizen-centered E-Government and provide additional opportunities for the government to work with the public sector to develop more user friendly methods of interaction. Past agency-centered IT approaches have limited the government’s productivity gains and ability to serve citizens.

     The 2002 E-Government Strategy document goes on to state, “E-Government provides many opportunities to improve the quality of service to citizens. Citizens should be able to get service or information in minutes or hours, versus today’s standard of days or weeks. Citizens, businesses and state and local governments should be able to file required reports without having to hire accountants and lawyers. Government employees should be able to do their work as easily, efficiently and effectively as their counterparts in the commercial world. Effective execution of this strategy are targeted to:

•

Simplify delivery of services to citizens;

•

Eliminate layers of government management;

•

Make it possible for citizens, businesses, other levels of government and federal employees to easily find information and get service from the federal government;

•

Simplify agencies’ business processes and reduce costs through integrating and eliminating redundant systems;

•

Enable achievement of the other elements of the President’s Management Agenda; and

•

Streamline government operations to guarantee rapid response to citizen needs.”

     E-Government Strategy activities are centered on four citizen-centered groups, including:

•

Individuals/Citizens: Government-to-Citizens (G2C);

•

Businesses: Government-to-Business (G2B);

•

Intergovernmental: Government-to-Government (G2G);

•

Intra-governmental: Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness (IEE);

     Through the E-Government Strategy, Government agencies are currently faced with pressure to upgrade

4

technology capabilities and to better interface with their audiences. Combined with the A-76 initiative that directs Government agencies to pursue the most cost-effective method of doing business, current federal strategy now enforces government’s need to better understand public alternatives, submit to extensive requests for proposals to an array of government and non-government providers, and to perform complex evaluations of existing operations and functions. These initiatives will continue to drive government usage of outside sources.

Outsourcing Trend

     In response to growing competitive pressures and technological innovations, we believe many companies, both large and small, are focusing their critical resources on the core competencies of their business and utilizing business process outsourcing to accelerate their business plans in a cost-effective manner and perform non-core business functions. Outsourcing provides many key benefits, including the ability to:

•

Capitalize on skills, expertise and technology infrastructure that would otherwise be unavailable or expensive given the scale of the business;

•

Reduce capital and personnel investments and convert fixed investments to variable costs;

•

Increase flexibility to meet changing business conditions and demand for products and services;

•

Enhance customer satisfaction and gain competitive advantage;

•

Improve operating performance and efficiency; and

•

Enter new business markets or geographic areas rapidly.

     As a result, the market for business process outsourcing services continues to grow. IDC predicts that the worldwide logistics business process outsourcing market will expand from $155.8 billion in 2002 to $276.5 billion in 2007.

     Typically, outsourcing service providers are focused on a single function, such as information technology, call center management, credit card processing, warehousing or package delivery. This focus creates several challenges for companies looking to outsource more than one of these functions, including the need to manage multiple outsourcing service providers, to share information with service providers and to integrate that information into their internal systems. Additionally, the delivery of these multiple services must be transparent to the customer and enable the client to maintain brand recognition and customer loyalty.

     Furthermore, traditional commerce outsourcers are frequently providers of domestic-only services versus international solutions. As a result, companies requiring global solutions must establish additional relationships with other outsourcing parties.

     Another vital point for major brand name companies seeking to outsource is the protection of their brand. When looking for an outsourcing partner to provide infrastructure solutions, brand name companies must find a company that can ensure the same quality performance and superior experience that their customers expect from their brands. Working with an outsourcing partner requires finding a partner that can maintain the consistency of their brand image, which is one of the most valuable intangible assets that recognized brand name companies possess.

The PFSweb Solution

     PFSweb serves as the “brand behind the brand” for companies seeking to increase the efficiencies of all aspects of their supply chain.

     Our value proposition is to become an extension of our clients’ businesses by delivering a superior experience that increases and enhances sales and market growth, customer satisfaction and customer retention. We act as both a virtual and a physical infrastructure for our clients’ businesses. By utilizing our services, our clients are able to:

5

     Quickly Capitalize on Market Opportunities. Our solutions empower clients to rapidly implement their supply chain and e-commerce strategies and to take advantage of opportunities without lengthy integration and implementation efforts. We have ready built technology and physical infrastructure that is flexible in its design, which facilitates quick integration and implementation. Currently, PFSweb operates with excess capacity in its call center, technology and distribution areas further aiding our clients’ speed to market. The PFSweb solution is designed to allow our clients to deliver consistent quality service as transaction volumes grow and also to handle daily and seasonal peak periods. Through our international locations, our clients can use the broad reach of the internet and e-commerce to sell their products almost anywhere in the world.

     Improve the Customer Experience. We enable our clients to provide their customers with a positive buying experience thereby maintaining and promoting brand loyalty. Through our use of advanced technology, we can respond directly to customer inquiries by e-mail, voice or data communication and assist them with on-line ordering and product information. We offer our clients a “world-class” level of service, including 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, Web-enabled customer care service centers, detailed CRM reporting and exceptional order accuracy. We have significant experience in the development of Internet web sites that allows us to recommend features and functions that are easily navigated and understood by our client’s customers. Our technology platform is designed to ensure high levels of reliability and fast response times for our clients’ customers. Because our technology is “world-class,” our clients benefit from being able to offer the latest in customer communication and response conveniences to their customers.

     Minimize Investment and Improve Operating Efficiencies. One of the most significant benefits that outsourcing to PFSweb provides is the ability to transform fixed costs into variable costs. By eliminating the need to invest in a fixed capital infrastructure, our clients’ costs typically become directly correlated with volume increases or declines. Further, as volume increases drive the demand for greater infrastructure or capacity, PFSweb is able to quickly deploy additional resources. We provide services to multiple clients, which enables us to offer our clients economies of scale, and resulting cost efficiency, that they may not have been able to obtain on their own. Additionally, because of the large number of daily transactions we process, PFSweb has been able to justify investments in levels of automation, security surveillance, quality control processes and transportation carrier interfaces that are typically outside the scale of investment that our clients might be able to cost justify on their own. These additional capabilities can provide our clients the benefits of enhanced operating efficiency, reduced inventory shrinkage, and expanded customer service options.

     Access a Sophisticated Technology Infrastructure. We provide our clients with ready access to a sophisticated technology infrastructure through our Entente Suite, which is designed to interface seamlessly with their systems. We provide our clients with vital product and customer information that can be immediately available to them on their own systems or through web based graphic user interfaces for use in data mining, analyzing sales and marketing trends, monitoring inventory levels and performing other management functions.

The PFSweb Strategy

     In 2004, we intend to maintain our simple but effective strategy statement to drive our actions for the year, QGP. This acronym stands for Quality, Growth and Profit. We believe that if we can achieve outstanding performance on these three basic elements, they will provide for a stable foundation for the future of PFSweb. As this evolution of our business model continues, we will remain focused on these three fundamentals:

     Quality: To exceed our client’s service level requirements and enhance the value of their “brand” while providing their customers a positive, memorable and efficient experience.

     Growth: To increase our company’s revenue and gross profit from its current levels. To aggressively market simplified product messages to drive new clients and revenue and profit growth. To become a larger company in order to create career and additional employment opportunities. Embrace strategic partnering to accentuate strengths and minimize weaknesses.

     Profit: To generate positive cash flow and to become sustainably profitable. To increase the value of our company for all of its stakeholders while rewarding our team members with challenging, fun and memorable life experiences.

6

     The successful balance of the execution of these fundamental strategies over the next year is targeted to result in the formation of a solid strategic and financial foundation for PFSweb and provide PFSweb a sustainable and profitable business model for the future.

     See “Risk Factors” for a complete discussion of risk factors related to our ability to achieve our objectives and fulfill our business strategies.

PFSweb Services

     We offer a comprehensive and integrated set of business infrastructure solutions that are tailored to our clients’ specific needs and enable them to quickly and efficiently implement their supply chain strategies. Our services include:

     Technology Collaboration. Specifically for e-commerce initiatives, PFSweb has created the Entente Suite, which illustrates the level of electronic cooperation that is possible when we construct solutions with our clients using this technology service offering. This set of technology services enables everything from order processing and inventory reporting to total e-commerce design and implementation. The Entente Suite comprises four key services— EntenteWeb®, EntenteDirect®, EntenteMessage® and EntenteReport®.

     EntenteWeb is a one-stop shop for the entire e-commerce process, particularly for companies with unusual needs or specific requests that are not easily met by the typical e-commerce development packages. EntenteWeb is a service utilizing our revolutionary GlobalMerchant Commerceware™ e-commerce software platform that is particularly focused to enable global commerce strategies with its extensive currency and language functionality. EntenteDirect provides clients with a real-time, user-friendly interface between their system and PFSweb order processing, warehouse management and related functions. Using real-time or batch processes, EntenteMessage is a file exchange service for clients using our warehousing and distribution facilities. EntenteReport is a reporting and inquiry service particularly suited to companies that need to put key e-commerce information into the hands of business users, but do not have the IT resources to facilitate the necessary data extraction, manipulation and presentation. EntenteReport consists of an industry-standard browser-based report writer, a client-customized data warehouse configuration, and, new in 2003, access to a robust browser-based Supply Chain Visibility dashboard.

     The Entente Suite operates in an open systems environment and features the use of industry-standard XML, enabling customized e-commerce solutions with minimal changes to a client’s systems or our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) systems. The result is a faster implementation process. Additionally, by using XML, the Entente Suite offers companies a more robust electronic information transfer option than text file FTP or EDI, although the text file FTP, EDI and other transfer methods are still supported.

     EntenteWeb Managed Hosting and Internet Application Development. We offer a highly available and secure managed hosting solution that encompasses complete creation and maintenance of client web sites using the EntenteWeb service. Operating with an in-house creative staff, we customize commerce-enabled client sites to their exact specifications and requirements. As with all major brand name companies, consistency within the brand image is vital; therefore, our design engineers create sites that seamlessly integrate and mirror the exact brand image of our clients. By operating on IBM enterprise systems and utilizing our state of the art Entente Suite technology along with Microsoft.Net technologies, we maintain a robust hosting environment for our hosted client web site properties.

     Specifically through the EntenteWeb service, we can assist clients using the GlobalMerchant Commerceware software to build an e-commerce offering with relatively low investment and in a time efficient manner. EntenteWeb is a complete front-to-back e-commerce service that incorporates components ranging from the look of the user interface to specific business purchasing, warehousing and shipping needs, enabling companies to define in exact terms their desired e-commerce site functionality.

     Order Management. Our order management solutions provide clients with interfaces that allow for real-time information retrieval, including information on inventory, sales orders, shipments, delivery, purchase orders, warehouse receipts, customer history, accounts receivable and credit lines. These solutions are seamlessly integrated with our web-enabled customer contact centers, allowing for the processing of orders through shopping cart, phone,

7

fax, mail, email, web chat, and other order receipt methods. As the information backbone for our total supply chain solution, order management services can be used on a stand alone basis or in conjunction with our other business infrastructure offerings, including customer contact, financial or distribution services. In addition, for the B2B market, our technology platform provides a variety of order receipt methods that facilitate commerce within various stages of the supply chain. Our systems provide the ability for both our clients and their customers to track the status of orders at any time. Our services are transparent to our clients’ customers and are seamlessly integrated with our clients’ internal systems platforms and web sites. By synchronizing these activities, we can capture and provide critical customer information, including:

•

Statistical measurements critical to creating a quality customer experience, containing real-time order status, order exceptions, back order tracking, allocation of product based on timing of online purchase and business rules, the ratio of customer inquiries to purchases, average order sizes and order response time;

•

B2B supply chain management information critical to evaluating inventory positioning, for the purpose of reducing inventory turns, and assessing product flow through and end-consumer demand;

•

Reverse logistics information including customer response and reason for the return or rotation of product and desired customer action;

•

Detailed marketing information about what was sold and to whom it was sold, by location and preference; and

•

Web traffic reporting showing the number of visits (“hits”) received, areas visited, and products and information requested.

     Customer Relationship Management. We offer a completely customized CRM solution for clients. Our CRM solution encompasses a full-scale customer contact management service offering, as well as a fully integrated customer analysis program. All customer contacts are captured and customer purchases are documented. Full-scale reporting on all customer transactions is available for evaluation purposes. Through each of our customer touch-points, information can be analyzed and processed for current or future use in business evaluation, product effectiveness and positioning, and supply chain planning.

     An important feature of evolving commerce remains the ability for the customer to speak with a live customer service representative. Our experience has been that a majority of consumers tell us they visited the web location for information, but not all of those consumers chose to place their order online. Our customer care services utilize features that integrate voice, e-mail, standard mail, data and internet chat communications to respond to and handle customer inquiries. Our customer care representatives answer various questions, acting as virtual representatives of our client’s organization, regarding order status, shipping, billing, returns and product information and availability as well as a variety of other questions. Our web-enabled customer care technology identifies each customer contact automatically and routes it to the available customer care representative who is individually certified in the client’s business and products. Our web-enabled customer care centers are designed so that our customer care representatives can handle several different clients and products in a shared environment, thereby creating economy of scale benefits for our clients as well as highly customized dedicated support models that provide the ultimate customer experience and brand reinforcement. Our advanced technology also enables our representatives to up-sell, cross-sell and inform customers of other products and sales opportunities. The web-enabled customer care center is fully integrated into the data management and order processing system, allowing full visibility into customer history and customer trends. Through this fully integrated system, we are able to provide a complete CRM solution.

With the need for efficiency and cost optimization for many of our clients, we have integrated IVR as another option for customer contacts. IVR creates an “electronic workforce” with virtual agents that can assist customers with vital information at any time of the day or night. IVR allows for our clients’ customers to deal interactively with our system to handle basic customer inquiries, such as account balance, order status, shipment status, catalog requests, product and price inquiries, and routine order entry for established customers. The inclusion of IVR to our service offering allows us to offer a cost effective way to handle high volume, low complexity calls.

     International Fulfillment and Distribution Services. An integral part of our business process outsourcing solutions is the warehousing and distribution of inventory either owned by our clients or owned by us through our master distributor relationships. We currently have approximately one million square feet of warehouse space domestically and internationally to store and process our clients’ inventory. We receive client inventory in our distribution centers, verify shipment accuracy, unpack and audit (a process that includes spot-checking a small percentage of the clients inventory to validate piece counts and check for damages that may have occurred during shipping, loading and unloading). Upon request, we inspect for other damages or defects, which may include checking fabric, stitching and zippers for soft goods, or ‘testing’ power-up capabilities for electronic items. We generally stock for sale within one business day of unloading. On behalf of our clients, we pick, pack and ship their customer orders and can provide customized packaging, inserts and promotional literature for distribution with customer orders.

     We will also work with clients to re-sequence certain supply to aid in an inventory postponement strategy. We can build clients assembly flow lines and provide kitting services for thousands of units daily to stock in a Just-in-Time (“JIT”) environment. This service, for example, can entail the procurement of packaging materials including retail boxes, foam inserts and anti-static bags. These raw material components would be shipped to PFSweb from overseas manufacturers, and PFSweb will build the finished SKU units to stock for the client. This strategy allows manufacturers to make a smaller investment in inventory while meeting changing customer demand.

     Based upon our clients’ needs, we are able to take advantage of a variety of shipping and delivery options, which range from next day service to zone skipping to optimize transportation costs. Our facilities and systems are equipped with multi-carrier functionality, allowing us to integrate with all leading package carriers and provide a comprehensive transportation management offering. In addition, an increasingly important function that we provide for our clients is reverse logistics management. We offer a wide array of product return services for our clients, including issuing return authorizations, receipt of product, crediting customer accounts, and disposition of returned product.

     Our distribution facilities contain computerized sorting equipment, highly mobile pick-to-light carts, powered material handling equipment, scanning and bar-coding systems and automated conveyors, in-line scales and x-ray equipment used to inspect shipment contents for automatic accuracy checking. Our international distribution complexes include several advanced technology enhancements, such as radio frequency technology in product receiving processing to ensure accuracy, as well as an automated package routing and a pick-to-light paperless order fulfillment system. Our advanced distribution systems provide us with the capability to currently warehouse an extensive number of stock keeping units (SKUs) for our clients ranging from large high-end laser printers to small cosmetic compacts. Our facilities are flexibly configured to process B2B and single pick B2C orders from the same central location.

     During 2003, we warehoused, managed and fulfilled approximately $1 billion in client merchandise and transactions. Much of this does not represent our revenue, but rather the revenue of our clients’ transactions for whom we provided business process outsourcing solutions. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

     Domestic clients of PFSweb enjoy the benefits of having their inventory assets secured by a network of trained law enforcement professionals, who have developed and continue to operate a world-class security network from our security headquarters in Memphis, TN. A part of our services for the United States Mint, our security plans and procedures are under constant evaluation and evolution. Continual validation ensures that we employ the latest in security processes and procedures to further enhance our surveillance and detection capabilities.

     Kitting and Assembly Services. Our expanded kitting and assembly services enable our clients to reduce the time and costs associated with managing multiple suppliers, warehousing hubs, and light manufacturing partners. As a single source provider, we provide clients with the advantage of convenience, accountability and speed. Our comprehensive kitting and assembly services provide a quality one-stop resource for any international channel. PFSweb’s kitting and assembly service includes light assembly, specialized kitting and supplier-consigned inventory hub either in our distribution facilities or co-located elsewhere. We also offer customized light manufacturing and Supplier Relationship Management (“SRM”) for Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 manufacturers.

9

     Combining our assembly services with our supplier-owned inventory hub services allows our clients to reduce cycle times, to compress their supply chains and to consolidate their operations and supplier management functions. We have supplier inventory management, assembly and fulfillment services all in one place, providing greater flexibility in product line utilization, as well as rapid response to change orders or packaging development. Our standard capabilities include: build-to-order, build-to-stock, expedited orders, passive and active electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) controls, product labeling, serial number generation, marking and/or capture, lot number generation, asset tagging, bill of materials (“BOM”) or computer automated design (“CAD”) engineering change processing, SKU-level pricing and billing, manufacturing and metrics reporting, first article approval processes, and comprehensive quality controls.

     Our kitting and assembly services also include procurement. We work directly with client suppliers to make JIT inventory orders for each component in client packages, thereby ensuring the appropriate inventory quantities arrive at just the right time to PFSweb and then turned around JIT to customers.

     Kitting and inventory hub services enable clients to collapse supply chains into the minimal steps necessary to prepare product for distribution to any channel, including wholesale, mass merchant retail, or direct to consumer. Clients no longer have to employ multiple providers or require suppliers to consign multiple inventory caches for each channel. We offer our clients the opportunity to consolidate operations from a channel standpoint, as well as from a geographic perspective. Our integrated, global information systems and international locations support client business needs worldwide.

     Information Management. We have the ability to communicate with and transfer information to and from our clients through a wide variety of technology services, including real-time data interfaces, file transfer methods and electronic data interchange. Our systems are designed to capture, store and electronically forward to our clients critical information regarding customer inquiries and orders, product shipments, inventory status (for example, levels of inventory on hand, on backorder, on purchase order and inventory due dates to our warehouse), product returns and other information. We maintain for our clients detailed product databases that can be seamlessly integrated with their web sites utilizing the capabilities of the Entente Suite. Our systems are capable of providing our clients with customer inventory and order information for use in analyzing sales and marketing trends and introducing new products. We also offer customized reports and data analyses based upon specific client needs to assist them in their budgeting and business decision process.

     Financial Services. Our financial services are divided into two major areas: 1) billing and collection services for B2B and B2C clients and 2) working capital solutions, where we act as a virtual and physical financial management department to fulfill our clients’ needs.

     We offer secure credit and collections services for both B2B and B2C businesses. Specifically, for B2C clients, we offer secure, real-time credit card processing related services for orders made via a client web site or through our customer contact center. Additionally, we can calculate sales taxes, goods and services taxes or value added taxes, if applicable, for numerous taxing authorities and on a variety of products. Using third-party leading-edge fraud protection services and risk management systems, we can assure the highest level of security and the lowest level of risk for client transactions.

     For B2B clients, we offer full-service accounts receivable management and collection capabilities, including the ability to generate customized computer-generated invoices in our clients’ names. We assist clients in reducing accounts receivable and days sales outstanding, while minimizing costs associated with maintaining an in-house collections staff. We offer electronic credit services in the format of EDI X.12 and XML communications direct from our clients to their vendors, suppliers and retailers.

     PFSweb’s subsidiary, Supplies Distributors, Inc. provides working capital solutions, which enable manufacturers to remove inventory and receivables from their balance sheets through the use of third party financing. This service offering is available to clients operating in North America and Europe.

     While the majority of our clients maintain ownership of their own inventory, through Supplies Distributors, we

10

can create and implement client inventory solutions as well. PFSweb has years of experience in dealing with the issues related to inventory ownership, secure inventory management, replenishment and product distribution. PFSweb and Supplies Distributors can offer prospective clients a management solution for the entire customer relationship, including ownership of inventory and receivables. Through CIP, we utilize technology resources to time the replenishment purchase of inventory with the simultaneous sale of product to the end user. All interfaces are done electronically and almost all processes regarding the financial transactions are automated, creating significant supply chain advantages.

     PFSweb is experienced in the complex legal, accounting and governmental control issues that can be hurdles in the successful implementation of working capital financing programs. Our knowledge and experience help clients achieve supply chain benefits while reducing inventory carrying costs. Substantial benefits and improvement to a company’s balance sheet can be achieved through these working capital solutions.

     Professional Consulting Services. As part of the tailored solution for our clients, we offer a full team of experts specifically designated to focus on our clients’ businesses. Team members play a consultative role, providing constructive evaluation, analysis and recommendations for the client’s business. This team creates customized solutions and devises plans that will increase efficiencies and produce benefits for the client when implemented.

     Comprised of industry experts from top-tier consulting firms and industry market leaders, our team of professional consultants provides client service focus and logistics and distribution expertise. They have built solutions for Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 market leaders in a wide range of industries, including apparel, computer-related products, telecommunications, cosmetics, housewares, high-value collectibles, sporting goods, pharmaceuticals and several more. Focusing on the evolving infrastructure needs of major corporations and their business initiatives, our team has a solid track record providing consulting services in the areas of supply chain management, distribution and fulfillment, technology interfacing, logistics and customer support.

Clients and Marketing

     Our target clients include technology and consumer goods brand name manufacturers looking to quickly and efficiently implement business initiatives, to adapt their go-to-market strategies, or to introduce new products or programs, without the burden of modifying or expanding their order processing, customer service, supply chain and distribution infrastructure. We also target retailers and multi-channel direct marketers seeking to expand their sales through new channels and technology platforms, as well as government agencies trying to reduce costs and/or increase efficiencies, meet customer expectations and responsiveness. Our solutions are applicable to a multitude of industries and company types and we have provided solutions for such companies as:

International Business Machines (“IBM”) (printer supplies in several geographic areas), Adaptec (computer accessories), the United States Mint (as a sub-contractor to IBM Global Services), Avaya Communication, Emtec Magnetics (a manufacturer of BASF-branded data media and audio visual products), Lancôme (a cosmetics division of L’Oreal International), Chiasso (a contemporary home furnishings and decor cataloguer), Xerox (printers and printer supplies), Pfizer (pharmaceuticals), Nokia USA.com (cell phone accessories), Roots Canada (apparel), Hewlett-Packard (printers and computer networking equipment), and The Smithsonian Business Ventures (a collectibles cataloger), amongst many others. We target potential clients through an extensive integrated marketing program that comprises a variety of direct marketing techniques, high impact print advertising, trade event participation, search engines and e-marketing, public relations and a sophisticated tele-sales lead generation model. We have also developed an intricate messaging matrix that defines our various business process outsourcing solutions and products, the vehicles we utilize to deliver marketing communication on these solutions/products and the target audience segments that display a demand for these solutions/products. This messaging matrix allows us to deploy highly targeted solution messages to selected key vertical industry segments where we feel that we are able to provide significant service differentiation and value. We also pursue strategic marketing alliances with consulting firms, software manufacturers and other logistics providers to increase market awareness and generate referrals and customer leads.

     Because of the highly complex nature of the solutions we provide, our clients demand significant competence and experience from a variety of different business disciplines during the sales cycle. As such, we utilize a selected member of our senior executive team to lead the design and proposal development of each potential new client we

11

choose to pursue. The senior executive is supported by a select group of highly experienced individuals from our professional services group with specific industry knowledge or experience to the solutions development process. We employ a team of highly trained implementation managers whose responsibilities include the oversight and supervision of client projects and maintaining high levels of client satisfaction during the transition process between the various stages of the sales cycle and steady state operations.

Technology

     We maintain advanced management information systems and have automated key business functions using on-line, real-time systems. These systems enable us to provide our clients information concerning sales, inventory status, customer payments and other operations that are essential for our clients to efficiently manage their electronic commerce and supply chain business programs. Our systems are designed to scale rapidly in order to handle the transaction processing demands of our clients.

     We employ technology from a selected group of partners, many of whom are also our clients. For example, we deploy IBM e-servers and network printers in appropriate models to run web site functions as well as order management and distribution functions. We utilize Avaya Communication for telephone switch and call center management functions and to interact with customers via voice, e-mail or chat. Avaya Communication technology also allows us to share web pages between customers and our service representatives. We have the ability to transmit and receive voice, data and video simultaneously on a single network connection to a customer to more effectively serve that customer for our client. Clients’ interest in using this technology stems from its ability to allow shoppers to consult with known experts in a way that the customer chooses prior to purchasing. Our sophisticated computer-telephony integration has been accomplished by combining systems software from IBM and Avaya Communication together with our own application development. We use AT&T for our private enterprise network and long distance carrier. We use J.D. Edwards as the software provider for the primary ERP applications that we use in our operational areas and financial areas. We use Ecometry as the software provider for the primary multi-channel direct marketing application we deploy for our catalog and direct marketing clients. We use Siemens Dematic/Rapistan Materials Handling Automation for our automated order selection, automated conveyor and “pick-to-light” (inventory retrieval) systems, and Symbol Technologies/Telxon for our warehouse radio frequency applications. Our Warehouse Management System (“WMS”) and Distribution Requirements Planning (“DRP”) system have been developed in-house to meet the varied unique requirements of our vertical markets. Both the WMS and DRP are tightly integrated to both the North American and European deployments of our J.D. Edwards’ system.

     Many internal infrastructures are not sufficient to support the explosive growth in e-business, e-marketplaces, supply chain compression, distribution channel realignment and the corresponding demand for real-time information necessary for strategic decision-making and product fulfillment. To address this need, we have created the Entente Suite, which is a comprehensive suite of technology services, with supporting software and hardware infrastructure, that enables companies with little or no e-commerce infrastructure to speed their time to market and minimize resource investment and risk, and allows all companies involved to improve the efficiency of their supply chain. The Entente Suite is comprised of four distinct service offerings — EntenteWeb, EntenteDirect, EntenteMessage, and EntenteReport — that can stand alone or be combined for a fully customized e-commerce solution depending on the level of direct involvement a company wants to maintain in their e-commerce initiative.

     The components of the Entente Suite provide the open platform service infrastructure that allows us to create complete e-commerce solutions with our customers. Using the various services of the Entente Suite, we can assist our clients in easily integrating their web sites or ERP systems to our systems for real-time transaction processing without regard for their hardware platform or operating system. This high-level of systems integration allows our clients to automatically process orders, customer data and other e-commerce information. We also can track information sent to us by the client as it moves through our systems in the same manner a carrier would track a package throughout the delivery process. Our systems enable us to track, at a detailed level, information received, transmission timing, any errors or special processing required and information sent back to the client. The transactional and management information contained within our systems is made available to the client quickly and easily through the Entente Suite.

     The Entente Suite serves as a transparent interface to our back-office productivity applications including our customized J.D. Edwards order management and fulfillment application and our Ecometry multi-channel direct

12

marketing application that runs on IBM e-Servers. It also is designed to integrate with marketplace technologies offered by major marketplace software companies.

     To enhance our service offerings, we have invested in advanced telecommunications, computer telephony, electronic mail and messaging, automated fax technology, IVR technology, barcode scanning, wireless technology, fiber optic network communications and automated inventory management systems. We have also developed and utilize telecommunications technology that provides for automatic customer call recognition and customer profile recall for inbound customer service representatives.

     The primary responsibility of our systems development team of IT professionals is directed at implementing custom solutions for new clients and maintaining existing client relationships. Our development team can also produce proprietary systems infrastructure to expand our capabilities in circumstances where we cannot purchase standard solutions from commercial providers. We also utilize temporary resources when needed for additional capacity.

     Our information technology operations and infrastructure are built on the premise of reliability and scalability. We maintain diesel generators and un-interruptible power supply equipment to provide constant availability to computer rooms, call centers and warehouses. Multiple internet service providers and redundant web servers provide for a high degree of availability to web sites that interface with our systems. Capacity planning and upgrading is performed regularly to allow for quick implementation of new clients and avoid time-consuming infrastructure upgrades that could slow growth rates. We also have a disaster recovery plan for our information systems and maintain a “hot site” under contract with a major provider.

Competition

     Many companies offer, on an individual basis, one or more of the same services we do, and we face competition from many different sources depending upon the type and range of services requested by a potential client. Our competitors include vertical outsourcers, which are companies that offer a single function solution, such as call centers, public warehouses or credit card processors. Many of these companies have greater capabilities than we do for the single function they provide. We also compete against transportation logistics providers, known in the industry as 3PL’s and 4PL’s, who offer product management functions as an ancillary service to their primary transportation services. In many instances, our competition is the in-house operations of our potential clients themselves. The in-house operations departments of potential clients often believe that they can perform the same services we do, while others are reluctant to outsource business functions that involve direct customer contact. We cannot be certain that we will be able to compete successfully against these or other competitors in the future.

     Although many of our competitors can offer one or more of our services, we believe our primary competitive advantage is our ability to offer a wide array of services that cover a broad spectrum of business processes, including web site design and hosting, kitting and assembly, order processing and shipment, credit card payment and customer service, thereby eliminating any need for our clients to coordinate these services from many different providers. We believe we are unique in offering our clients a very broad range of business process services that addresses, in many cases, the entire business transaction, from demand to delivery.

     We also compete on the basis of many other important additional factors, including:

•

operating performance and reliability;

•

ease of implementation and integration;

•

experience of the people required to successfully and efficiently design and implement solutions;

•

leading edge technology capabilities;

•

global reach; and

•

price.

     We believe that we compete favorably with respect to each of these factors. However, the market for our services is competitive and still evolving, and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2003, we had 551 full-time employees and 67 part-time employees, of which 565 were located in the United States. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements, and we have never suffered an interruption of business as a result of a labor dispute. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

     Our success in recruiting, hiring and training large numbers of skilled employees and obtaining large numbers of hourly employees during peak periods for distribution and call center operations is critical to our ability to provide high quality distribution and support services. Call center representatives and distribution personnel receive feedback on their performance on a regular basis and, as appropriate, are recognized for superior performance or given additional training. Generally, our clients provide specific product training for our customer service representatives and, in certain instances, on-site client personnel to provide specific technical support. To maintain good employee relations and to minimize employee turnover, we offer competitive pay, hire primarily full-time employees who are eligible to receive a full range of employee benefits, and provide employees with clear, visible career paths.

Internet Access to Reports

     We maintain an internet website, www.pfsweb.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K (and amendments, if any, to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are made available, free of charge, through the investor relations section of this website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material, or furnish it to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information on our website is not incorporated in this report.

Regulation

     Our business may be affected by current and future governmental regulation, both foreign and domestic. For example, the internet Tax Freedom Act bars state and local governments from imposing taxes on internet access or that would subject buyers and sellers of electronic commerce to taxation in multiple states. This act was in effect until November 1, 2003. If legislation to extend this act or similar legislation is not enacted, internet access and sales across the Internet may be subject to additional taxation by state and local governments, thereby discouraging purchases over the Internet and adversely affecting the market for our services.

14

RISK FACTORS

     Our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected by any of the following factors, in which event the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently think are immaterial, may also impair our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our historical financial information may not be representative of our future results.

     Prior to December 1999, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daisytek International Corporation (“Daisytek”). Our business unit was formed in 1991 to leverage Daisytek’s core competencies in customer service, order management, product fulfillment and distribution. From 1996 to 1999, the operations of our business unit were primarily focused in several Daisytek subsidiaries operating collectively as Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”). In June 1999, a separate wholly owned subsidiary named PFSweb, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was created to become a holding company for PFS and facilitate a December 1999 initial public offering of PFSweb. PFSweb and Daisytek completed their separation on July 6, 2000 through a pro rata distribution to Daisytek’s common stockholders of all of the shares of our common stock that Daisytek then held.

     The financial information for periods prior to the year ended March 31, 2001 included in this Form 10-K may not reflect what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. This is because we made certain adjustments and allocations since Daisytek did not account for us as, and we were not operated as, a single stand-alone business for the periods presented.

     We cannot assure you that the adjustments and allocations we made in preparing our historical consolidated financial statements appropriately reflect our operations during such periods as if we had, in fact, operated as a stand-alone entity or what the actual effect of our separation from Daisytek would have been. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our historical results of operations are indicative of our future operating or financial performance.

     The financial information for periods prior to September 30, 1999, subsequent to October 1, 2002, and currently, reflect product revenue earned from certain master distributor agreements, primarily with IBM. In 1996 we entered into an agreement with the printer supplies division of IBM. Under this agreement, we served as an IBM master distributor of printer supply products and purchased product from IBM and resold them to IBM customers. We subsequently entered into a similar agreement in Europe and expanded our existing agreements to include more product lines. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, we, Business Supplies Distributors (a Daisytek Subsidiary – “BSD”) and IBM entered into new agreements to enable PFSweb to conform to a service fee revenue business model. Under these agreements, BSD acted as a master distributor of various IBM products, Daisytek provided financing and credit support to BSD and PFSweb provided transaction management and fulfillment services to BSD. As part of this restructuring, we transferred to BSD the IBM product inventory we held as the master distributor, together with our customer accounts receivable and our accounts payable owing to IBM in respect to the product inventory. As a master distributor under the original agreements, we recorded product revenue as we sold the product to IBM customers. Similarly, our gross profit was based upon the difference between our revenue from product sales and the cost of purchasing the product from IBM. Under the new agreements, whereby BSD acted as the master distributor, our revenue was service fee revenue based on a percentage of IBM product sales.

     In July 2001, PFSweb and Inventory Financing Partners, LLC (“IFP”) formed Business Supplies Distributors Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), and Holdings formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Supplies Distributors. PFSweb originally had a 49% voting interest and IFP had a 51% voting interest in Holdings. Supplies Distributors, PFSweb and IBM entered into new master distributor agreements to replace the prior agreements. Under these new agreements, Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries act as the master distributors and, pursuant to a transaction management services agreement between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb provides transaction

15

management and fulfillment services to Supplies Distributors. Under the agreements with Supplies Distributors, PFSweb continued to recognize service fee revenue.

     In October 2002, we acquired the remaining 51% ownership interest in Holdings from IFP and thus now own 100% of Holdings. As a result of the purchase, we now consolidate 100% of Holdings financial position and results of operations into our consolidated financial statements. Upon consolidation, effective October 1, 2002, we also now eliminate the service fee revenue earned from our subsidiary, Supplies Distributors.

     As a result of reflecting revenue earned under the master distributor agreements as product revenue in certain historical periods and as service fee revenue in others, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of our future operating or financial performance.

We have excess capacity, are incurring losses from operations and need more revenue to achieve sustainable profitability; we anticipate incurring significant expenses in the foreseeable future, which may reduce our ability to achieve profitability.

     We currently have unused space in our call centers and distribution centers and excess capacity in our systems infrastructure, and we are currently incurring losses from operations. To properly service our existing clients and attract new clients, it may be difficult or impractical to substantially reduce our costs, including the fixed costs associated with our unused space and excess capacity. Consequently, we may continue to incur losses from operations until we have sufficiently increased our revenue to cover our fixed and variable costs. Alternatively, we may incur restructuring charges to reduce portions of the fixed costs associated with the unused space and fixed capacity. While we believe that as we add revenue we will be able to cover our existing infrastructure costs, there can be no assurance that we will increase our revenue or achieve sustainable profitability.

     To reach our business growth objectives, we may increase our operating and marketing expenses, as well as capital expenditures. To offset these expenses, we will need to generate additional profitable business. If our revenue grows slower than either we anticipate or our clients’ projections indicate, or if our operating and marketing expenses exceed our expectations, we may not generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or an annual basis in the future. Additionally, if our revenue grows slower than either we anticipate or our clients’ projections indicate, we may incur unnecessary or redundant costs and our operating results could be adversely affected.

Our service fee revenue is dependent upon our clients’ business and transaction volumes; our client service agreements are generally terminable by the client at will; we may incur financial penalties if we fail to meet contractual service levels under certain client service agreements.

     Our service fee revenue is primarily transaction based and fluctuates with the volume of transactions or level of sales of the products by our clients for whom we provide transaction management services. If we are unable to retain existing clients or attract new clients or if we dedicate significant resources to clients whose business does not generate substantial transactions or whose products do not generate substantial customer sales, our business may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our service agreements with our clients are generally terminable by the client at will. Therefore, we cannot assure you that any of our clients will continue to use our services for any period of time. Certain of our client service agreements contain minimum service level requirements and impose financial penalties if we fail to meet such requirements. The imposition of a substantial number of such penalties could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Our operating results are materially impacted by our client mix and the seasonality of their business.

     Our business is materially impacted by our client mix and the seasonality of their business. Based upon our current client mix and their current business volumes, we anticipate our service fee revenue business activity will be at its lowest in the first quarter and at its highest in the second quarter of our fiscal year and that our product revenue business activity will be at its highest in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. We believe that results of operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year. We are unable to predict how the seasonality of future clients’ business may affect our quarterly revenue.

16

Our systems may not accommodate significant growth in our number of clients.

     Our success depends on our ability to handle a large number of transactions for many different clients in various product categories. We expect that the volume of transactions will increase significantly as we expand our operations. If this occurs, additional stress will be placed upon the network hardware and software that manages our operations. We cannot assure you of our ability to efficiently manage a large number of transactions. If we are not able to maintain an appropriate level of operating performance, we may develop a negative reputation, and impair existing and prospective client relationships and our business would be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to recover all or a portion of our start-up costs associated with one or more of our clients.

     We generally incur start-up costs in connection with the planning and implementation of business process solutions for our clients. Although we generally attempt to recover these costs from the client in the early stages of the client relationship, there is a risk that the client contract may not fully cover the start-up costs. To the extent start-up costs exceed the start-up fees received, excess costs will be expensed as incurred. Additionally, in connection with new client contracts we generally incur capital expenditures associated with assets whose primary use is related to the client solution. There is a risk that the contract may end before expected and we may not recover the full amount of our capital costs.

Our margins may be materially impacted by client transaction volumes that differ from client projections and business assumptions.

     Our pricing for client transaction services, such as call center and fulfillment, is often based upon volume projections and business assumptions provided by the client and our anticipated costs to perform such work. In the event the actual level of activity or cost is substantially different from the projections or assumptions, we may have insufficient or excess staffing or other assets dedicated for such client that may negatively impact our margins and business relationship with such client. In the event we are unable to meet the service levels expected by the client, our relationship with the client will suffer and may result in the termination of the client contract.

Our business is subject to the risk of customer and supplier concentration.

     For the year ended December 31, 2002, the U.S. Mint (via a subcontract agreement with IBM), our affiliate Supplies Distributors (prior to consolidation effective October 1, 2002) and Xerox Corporation (“Xerox”) represented approximately 35%, 13% and 14%, respectively, of our total net service fee revenue for such period. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the U.S. Mint and Xerox represented approximately 40% and 16%, respectively, of our total net service fee revenue for such period. The loss of, or non-payment of invoices by either or both of the U.S. Mint or Xerox as clients would have a material adverse effect upon our business. In particular, the agreement under which we provide services to the U.S. Mint has a scheduled renewal date of May 2005 and there is a risk that such agreement may not be renewed or that we are unable to enter into a similar agreement to continue to provide services to the U.S. Mint. Similarly, as is the case with our agreements with most of our clients, our agreement with Xerox is terminable at will upon notice.

     Substantially all of our product revenue was generated by sales of product purchased under master distributor agreements with IBM and is dependent on IBM’s business. Our product revenue business is dependent upon our master distributor relationship with IBM and the continuing market for IBM products. A termination of the relationship with IBM or a decline in customer demand for such products could have a material adverse effect on our business. Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 13% and 12% of our total product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002. Sales to three customers accounted for approximately 13%, 12% and 10% of our total product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003. The loss of any one or more of such customers, or non-payment of any material amount by these or any other customer, would have a material adverse effect upon our business.

We operate with significant levels of indebtedness and are required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants; we are required to maintain a minimum level of subordinated loans to our subsidiary Supplies Distributors; and we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors by its lenders.

17

     As of December 31, 2003, our total debt outstanding, including capital lease obligations, was approximately $59.8 million. Certain of the indebtedness have maturity dates in calendar year 2005, but are classified as current debt in our consolidated financial statements. We cannot provide assurance that our indebtedness will be renewed by the lending parties. Additionally, these debt facilities include both financial and non-financial covenants, many of which also include cross default provisions applicable to other agreements. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. Any non-renewal of these debt facilities or any default under any of our indebtedness would have a material adverse impact upon our business and financial condition. In addition we have provided $8.0 million of subordinated indebtedness to Supplies Distributors, the minimum level required under certain indebtedness facilities as of December 31, 2003, and the maximum level that may be provided without approval from our lenders. The restrictions on increasing this amount without lender approval may limit our ability to comply with certain loan covenants or further grow and develop Supplies Distributors’ business. We have guaranteed most of the indebtedness of Supplies Distributors. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors by its lenders to the extent Supplies Distributors is unable to do so.

We face competition from many sources that could adversely affect our business.

     Many companies offer, on an individual basis, one or more of the same services we do, and we face competition from many different sources depending upon the type and range of services requested by a potential client. Our competitors include vertical outsourcers, which are companies that offer a single function, such as call centers, public warehouses or credit card processors. Many of these companies have greater capabilities than we do for the single function they provide. We also compete against transportation logistics providers who offer product management functions as an ancillary service to their primary transportation services. In many instances, our competition is the in-house operations of our potential clients themselves. The in-house operations departments of potential clients often believe that they can perform the same services we do, while others are reluctant to outsource business functions that involve direct customer contact. We cannot be certain that we will be able to compete successfully against these or other competitors in the future.

Our sales and implementation cycles are highly variable and our ability to finalize pending contracts may cause our operating results to vary widely.

     The sales cycle for our services is variable, typically ranging between several months to up to a year from initial contact with the potential client to the signing of a contract. Occasionally the sales cycle requires substantially more time. Delays in signing and executing client contracts may affect our revenue and cause our operating results to vary widely. We believe that a potential client’s decision to purchase our services is discretionary, involves a significant commitment of its resources and is influenced by intense internal and external pricing and operating comparisons. To successfully sell our services, we generally must educate our potential clients regarding the use and benefit of our services, which can require significant time and resources. Consequently, the period between initial contact and the purchase of our services is often long and subject to delays associated with the lengthy approval and competitive evaluation processes that typically accompany significant operational decisions. Additionally, the time required to finalize pending contracts and to implement our systems and integrate a new client can range from several weeks to many months. Delays in signing and integrating new clients may affect our revenue and cause our operating results to vary widely.

We are dependent on our key personnel, and we need to hire and retain skilled personnel to sustain our business.

     Our performance is highly dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, we need to attract and retain other highly-skilled technical and managerial personnel for whom there is intense competition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the continuing growth of our business. Our inability to attract and retain qualified technical and managerial personnel would materially adversely affect our ability to maintain and grow our business.

We are subject to risks associated with our international operations.

     We currently operate a 150,000 square foot distribution center in Liege, Belgium and a 13,000 square foot

18

distribution center in Richmond Hill, Canada, near Toronto, both of which currently have excess capacity. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in expanding in these or any additional international markets. In addition to the uncertainty regarding our ability to generate revenue from foreign operations and expand our international presence, there are risks inherent in doing business internationally, including:

•

changing regulatory requirements;

•

legal uncertainty regarding foreign laws, tariffs and other trade barriers;

•

political instability;

•

potentially adverse tax consequences;

•

foreign currency fluctuations; and

•

cultural differences.

     Any one or more of these factors could materially adversely affect our business in a number of ways, such as increased costs, operational difficulties and reductions in revenue.

We are uncertain about our need for and the availability of additional funds.

     Our future capital needs are difficult to predict. We may require additional capital in order to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, including strategic alliances and acquisitions and to fund capital expenditures, or to respond to changing business conditions and unanticipated competitive pressures. In addition, we may require additional funds to finance our operating losses. Should these circumstances arise, our existing credit facilities may be insufficient and we may need to raise additional funds either by borrowing money or issuing additional equity. We cannot assure you that such resources will be adequate or available for all of our future financing needs. If we are successful in completing an additional equity financing, this could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

We may engage in future strategic alliances or acquisitions that could dilute our existing stockholders, cause us to incur significant expenses or harm our business.

     We may review strategic alliance or acquisition opportunities that would complement our current business or enhance our technological capabilities. Integrating any newly acquired businesses, technologies or services may be expensive and time-consuming. To finance any acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through borrowing money or completing public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us and, in the case of equity financings, may result in dilution to our stockholders. We may not be able to operate any acquired businesses profitably or otherwise implement our growth strategy successfully. If we are unable to integrate any newly acquired entities or technologies effectively, our operating results could suffer. Future acquisitions by us could also result in incremental expenses and the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm our operating results.

Our business could be adversely affected by a systems or equipment failure, whether our own or of our clients.

     Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our distribution facilities, customer service centers, computer and telecommunications equipment and software systems against damage and failures. Damage or failures could result from fire, power loss, equipment malfunctions, system failures, natural disasters and other causes. If our business is interrupted either from accidents or the intentional acts of others, our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, in the event of widespread damage or failures at our facilities, our short-term disaster recovery and contingency plans and insurance coverage may not be sufficient.

     Our clients’ businesses may also be harmed from any system or equipment failures we experience. In that event, our relationship with these clients may be adversely affected, we may lose these clients, our ability to attract new clients may be adversely affected and we could be exposed to liability.

     Interruptions could also result from the intentional acts of others, like “hackers.” If our systems are penetrated by computer hackers, or if computer viruses infect our systems, our computers could fail or proprietary information could be misappropriated.

     If our clients suffer similar interruptions in their operations, for any of the reasons discussed above or for others, our business could also be adversely affected. Many of our clients’ computer systems interface with our own. If they

19

suffer interruptions in their systems, the link to our systems could be severed and sales of their products could be slowed or stopped.

A breach of our e-commerce security measures could reduce demand for our services.

     A requirement of the continued growth of e-commerce is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or interrupt our operations. Any compromise or elimination of our security could reduce demand for our services.

     We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to address any problem they may cause. Because our activities involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers, security breaches could damage our reputation, cause us to lose clients, impact our ability to attract new clients and we could be exposed to litigation and possible liability. Our security measures may not prevent security breaches, and failure to prevent security breaches may disrupt our operations.

We may be a party to litigation involving our e-commerce intellectual property rights.

     In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patent and other intellectual property rights. We may be a party to intellectual property litigation in the future to protect our trade secrets or know-how. United States patent applications are confidential until a patent is issued and most technologies are developed in secret. Accordingly, we are not, and cannot be, aware of all patents or other intellectual property rights of which our services may pose a risk of infringement. Others asserting rights against us could force us to defend ourselves or our customers against alleged infringement of intellectual property rights. We could incur substantial costs to prosecute or defend any such litigation.

Risks Related to Our Industry

If the trend toward outsourcing does not continue, our business will be adversely affected.

     Our business could be materially adversely affected if the trend toward outsourcing declines or reverses, or if corporations bring previously outsourced functions back in-house. Particularly during general economic downturns, businesses may bring in-house previously outsourced functions to avoid or delay layoffs. The continued threat of terrorism within the United States and abroad and the potential for sustained military action may cause disruption to commerce and economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business and new client prospects.

Our market is subject to rapid technological change and to compete we must continually enhance our systems to comply with evolving standards.

     To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the responsiveness, functionality and features of our services and the underlying network infrastructure. If we are unable to adapt to changing market conditions, client requirements or emerging industry standards, our business could be adversely affected. The internet and e-commerce environments are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our technology and systems obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to both internally develop and license leading technologies to enhance our existing services and develop new services. We must continue to address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our clients and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. The development of proprietary technology involves significant technical and business risks. We may fail to develop new technologies effectively or to adapt our proprietary technology and systems to client requirements or emerging industry standards.

Risks Related to Our Stock

Our common stock is at risk for delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCapMarket. If it is delisted, our stock price and your liquidity may be impacted.

     Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Nasdaq has requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. These requirements include maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00. The closing bid price for our common stock has had periods of time when it traded below $1.00 for more than 30 consecutive trading days. We currently meet all the minimum continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

     If we fail to maintain the standards necessary to be quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and our common stock is delisted, trading in our common stock would be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board as long as we continue to file reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The OTC Bulletin Board is generally considered to be a less efficient market than the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and our stock price, as well as the liquidity of our common stock, may be adversely impacted as a result.

Our stock price could decline if a significant number of shares become available for sale.

     In November 2003 we issued in a private placement transaction warrants to purchase an aggregate of 921,178 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of these warrants may be resold into the public market. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market as a result of the exercise of these warrants, or the perception that future sales of these shares could occur, could reduce the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult to sell equity securities in the future.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile. You may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price at which you purchased such shares.

     The trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in operating results, announcements of material adverse events, general conditions in our industry or the public marketplace and other events or factors. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many technology related companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, our shareholder rights plan and Delaware law make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, despite the possible benefit to our stockholders.

     Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, our shareholder rights plan and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. For example, our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of directors, meaning that only approximately one-third of our directors may be subject to re-election at each annual stockholder meeting. Our certificate of incorporation also permits our Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock which may have rights and preferences superior to those of the common stock. The ability to issue preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us. We have also adopted a shareholder rights plan. These provisions could discourage takeover attempts and could materially adversely affect the price of our stock. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may prohibit large stockholders from consummating a merger with, or acquisition of us. These provisions may prevent a merger or acquisition that would be attractive to stockholders and could limit the price that investors would be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

     Our common stock is listed and currently trades on the NASDAQ SmallCap Stock Market under the symbol “PFSW.” The following table sets forth for the period indicated the high and low sale price for the common stock as reported by NASDAQ:

     As of March 18, 2004, there were approximately 5,201 shareholders of which 149 were record holders of the common stock.

     We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We are also restricted from paying dividends under our debt agreements, without the prior approval of our lenders. We currently intend to retain all earnings to finance the further development of our business. The payment of any future cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operations, capital requirements, the general financial condition of the Company and general business conditions and the approval of our lenders. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Item 6. Selected Consolidated Financial Data

Historical Presentation

     In June 2001, we announced a change in our fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31.

     The selected consolidated historical statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the nine months ended December 31, 2001, and the selected consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with those statements and notes, which are included in this Form 10-K. The selected consolidated statement of operations data for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the selected consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2001, March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with those statements, which are not included in this Form 10-K.

Overview

     We are an international provider of integrated business process outsourcing solutions to major brand name companies seeking to maximize their supply chain efficiencies and to extend their traditional business and e-commerce initiatives. We derive our revenues from a broad range of services, including professional consulting, technology collaboration, order management, managed web hosting and web development, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, options kitting and assembly services, information management and international fulfillment and distribution services. We offer our services as an integrated solution, which enables our clients to outsource their complete infrastructure needs to a single source and to focus on their core competencies. Our distribution services are conducted at our warehouses and include real-time inventory management and customized picking, packing and shipping of our clients’ customer orders. We currently provide infrastructure and distribution solutions to clients that operate in a range of vertical markets, including technology manufacturing, computer products, printers, cosmetics, fragile goods, high security collectibles, pharmaceuticals, contemporary home furnishings, apparel, telecommunications and consumer electronics, among others.

     We provide these services, and earn our revenue, through two separate business segments, which have operationally similar business models. The first business segment is a service fee revenue model. In this segment, we do not own the underlying inventory or the resulting accounts receivable, but provide management services for these client-owned assets. We typically charge our service fee revenue on a percent of shipped revenue basis or a per-transaction basis, such as a per-minute basis for web-enabled customer contact center services and a per-item basis for fulfillment services. Additional fees are billed for other services. We price our services based on a variety of factors, including the depth and complexity of the services provided, the amount of capital expenditures or systems customization required, the length of contract and other factors.

     Many of our service fee contracts involve third-party vendors who provide additional services such as package delivery. The costs we are charged by these third-party vendors for these services are often passed on to our clients (and, in many cases, our clients’ customers). Our billings for reimbursements of these and other ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses, such as travel, shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges are included in gross service fee revenue. The related reimbursable costs for pass-through expenditures are reflected as pass-through charges and reduce total gross service fee revenue in computing net service fee revenue.

     Our second business segment is a product revenue model. In this segment, we are a master distributor of product for IBM and certain other clients. In this capacity, we purchase, and thus own, inventory. As a result, upon the sale of inventory, we own the accounts receivable. This business segment requires significant working capital requirements, for which we have senior financing facilities to provide for up to approximately $77 million of available financing.

     For the periods prior to September 30, 1999, subsequent to October 1, 2002 and currently, our services include purchasing and reselling client product inventory within this product revenue segment. In these arrangements, our product revenue is recognized at the time product is shipped. During this time, product revenue includes freight costs billed to customers and is reduced for pass through customer marketing programs. For the period from October 1, 1999, to September 30, 2002, these IBM and other agreements were restructured to provide transaction management services only on a service fee basis based on a percentage of shipped revenue. See “Historical Financial Presentation.”

     Growth is a key element to us achieving our future goals, including reaching sustainable profitability. Our growth is driven by two main elements: new client relationships and organic growth from existing clients. On an overall basis, we experienced an increase in service fee revenues from existing clients and an increase in product revenues in 2003. However, due to uncertainty in the United States economic climate, lead times to close new business continue to be longer than we would ultimately desire and our closure rate is difficult to predict. As such, our new business closures for 2003 were behind our plan.

     As our recent growth was lower than we had targeted, we continue to monitor and control our costs. During 2003, we realized the benefits of reduced costs from certain restructuring efforts made in September 2002. We continue to see signs of economic recovery and as such we expect to increase certain expenses in 2004 to further

26

enhance our sales and marketing efforts.

     Our expenses comprise primarily three categories: 1) cost of service fee revenue, 2) cost of product revenue and 3) selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

     Cost of service fee revenue - consists primarily of compensation and related expenses for our Web-enabled customer contact center services, international fulfillment and distribution services and professional consulting services, and other fixed and variable expenses directly related to providing services under the terms of fee based contracts, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses.

     Cost of product revenue - prior to September 30, 1999, subsequent to October 1, 2002 and currently, cost of product revenue consists of the purchase price of product sold and freight costs, which are reduced by certain reimbursable expenses. These reimbursable expenses include pass through customer marketing programs, direct costs incurred in passing on any price decreases offered by IBM to Supplies Distributors or its customers to cover price protection and certain special bids, the cost of products provided to replace defective product returned by customers and certain other expenses as defined under the master distributor agreements.

     SG&A expenses - consist primarily of compensation and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, executive, management and administrative personnel and other overhead costs, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses. In addition, for the periods prior to September 30, 1999, subsequent to October 1, 2002 and currently, certain direct contract costs related to our IBM and other master distributor agreements are reflected as selling and administrative expenses.

     Monitoring and controlling our available cash balances continues to be a primary focus. Our cash and liquidity positions are important components of our financing of both current operations and our targeted growth. During 2003 we added to our available cash and liquidity positions through two primary transactions. First we entered into a working capital financing agreement with a bank that currently provides financing for up to $5 million of eligible accounts receivable and financing for up to $2.5 million of eligible capital expenditures. Secondly, we completed a private placement of approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock to certain investors that provided net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million.

Historical Financial Presentation

     We believe our historical financial statements may not provide a meaningful comparison to our current and future financial performance for the reasons described below.

     Prior to December 1999, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daisytek International Corporation (“Daisytek”). Our business unit was formed in 1991 to leverage Daisytek’s core competencies in customer service, order management, product fulfillment and distribution. From 1996 to 1999, the operations of our business unit were primarily focused in several Daisytek subsidiaries operating collectively as Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”). In June 1999, a separate wholly owned subsidiary named PFSweb, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was created to become a holding company for PFS and facilitate a December 1999 initial public offering of PFSweb. PFSweb and Daisytek completed their separation on July 6, 2000 through a pro rata distribution to Daisytek’s common stockholders of all of the shares of our common stock that Daisytek then held.

     The financial information for periods through the year ended March 31, 2001 may not reflect what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. This is because we made certain adjustments and allocations since Daisytek did not account for us as, and we were not operated as, a single stand-alone business for the periods presented.

     We cannot assure you that the adjustments and allocations we made in preparing our historical consolidated financial statements appropriately reflect our operations during such periods as if we had, in fact, operated as a stand-alone entity or what the actual effect of our separation from Daisytek would have been. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our historical results of operations are indicative of our future operating or financial performance.

27

     The financial information for periods prior to September 30, 1999, subsequent to October 1, 2002, and currently, reflect product revenue earned within our product revenue business segment from certain master distributor agreements, primarily with IBM. In 1996 we entered into an agreement with the printer supplies division of IBM. Under this agreement, we served as an IBM master distributor of printer supply products and purchased product from IBM and resold them to IBM customers. We subsequently entered into a similar agreement in Europe and expanded our existing agreements to include more product lines. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, we, Business Supplies Distributors (a Daisytek subsidiary – “BSD”) and IBM entered into new agreements to enable PFSweb to conform to a service fee revenue business model. Under these agreements, BSD acted as a master distributor of various IBM products, Daisytek provided financing and credit support to BSD and PFSweb provided transaction management and fulfillment services to BSD. As part of this restructuring, we transferred to BSD the IBM product inventory we held as the master distributor, together with our customer accounts receivable and our accounts payable owing to IBM in respect to the product inventory. As a master distributor under the original agreements, we recorded product revenue as we sold the product to IBM customers. Similarly, our gross profit was based upon the difference between our revenue from product sales and the cost of purchasing the product from IBM. Under the new agreements, whereby BSD acted as the master distributor, our revenue was service fee revenue based on a percentage of IBM product sales.

     In July 2001, PFSweb and Inventory Financing Partners, LLC (“IFP”) formed Business Supplies Distributors Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), and Holdings formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Supplies Distributors, Inc. (“Supplies Distributors”). PFSweb originally had a 49% voting interest and IFP had a 51% voting interest in Holdings. In September 2001, Daisytek sold its subsidiaries that had been conducting the IBM master distributor business to Holdings. Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries, PFSweb and IBM entered into new master distributor agreements to replace the prior agreements. Under these new agreements, Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries act as master distributors of various IBM products and, pursuant to a transaction management services agreement between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb provides transaction management and fulfillment services to Supplies Distributors. Under the agreements with Supplies Distributors, we continued to recognize service fee revenue.

     In October 2002, we acquired the remaining 51% ownership interest in Holdings from IFP and thus we now own 100% of Holdings. As we initially owned 49% of Holdings, the results of Holdings were not previously consolidated into our results. Instead, our equity interest was presented in the consolidated balance sheet as investment in affiliate and our allocation of Holdings’ net income were presented in the consolidated statement of operations as equity in earnings of affiliate. As a result of the purchase, effective October 1, 2002, we now consolidate 100% of Holdings’ financial position and results of operations into our consolidated financial statements. Upon consolidation, we now eliminate the service fee revenue earned from our subsidiary, Supplies Distributors, as well as the corresponding expense recorded by Supplies Distributors in its selling, general and administrative expense. In addition, our costs previously reflected as cost of service fee revenues under the service fee arrangement are now recorded on a consolidated basis as selling, general and administrative expense. Subsequent to October 1, 2002, and currently, our consolidated revenue earned under the IBM agreements is reflected as product revenue.

     As a result of consolidating Holdings’ financial position and results of operations, our total revenues arising under our new IBM agreements will increase, as compared to the total revenues arising under the prior IBM agreements. However, our gross profit margin as a percent of product revenue under the new IBM agreements is lower as compared to our gross profit margin as a percent of net service fee revenue under the prior IBM service fee agreements.

     As a result of reflecting revenue earned under the master distributor agreements as product revenue in certain periods and as service fee revenue in others, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of our future operating or financial performance.

28

Results of Operations

     The following table sets forth certain historical financial information from our consolidated statements of operations expressed as a percent of net revenues.

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002

     Product Revenue. Product revenue was $249.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $57.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, which reflects product sales for Supplies Distributors subsequent to its consolidation effective October 1, 2002 (see “Supplies Distributors”). Supplies Distributors had $163.6 million of product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 prior to consolidation, or a total of $221.1 million of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in annual product revenue resulted primarily from the favorable impact of exchange rates on our European and Canadian operations and increased sales volumes of many existing products. In addition, product revenue was favorably impacted by the addition of certain new products and increased sales prices for certain products.

29

     Net Service Fee Revenue (including service fee revenue, affiliate). Net service fee revenue was $33.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $2.6 million or 7.4%. The change in net service fee revenue is shown below ($ millions):

     Net service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 included approximately $0.9 of fees earned from client contracts terminated during 2003.

     Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue was $235.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $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 94.4% during the year ended December 31, 2003 and 94.5% during 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. Annual cost of product revenue increased from the prior year from the impact of exchange rates on our European and Canadian operations, increased volumes of many existing products. The addition of certain new product and additional reserves for inventory impairment for the year ended December 31, 2003. The impact of these increases and additional reserves were partially offset by other inventory cost reductions from a vendor. The resulting gross profit margin was 5.6% and 5.5% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the three months ended December 31, 2002, respectively.

     Cost of Net Service Fee Revenue. Cost of net service fee revenue was $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $22.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.8%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $10.3 million or 31.1% of net service fee revenue, during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $13.2 million, or 36.7% of net service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002. Our gross profit as a percent of net service fee revenue decreased in the current period primarily as a result of the elimination of the service fee revenue affiliate and resulting gross profit from services provided under our arrangements with Supplies Distributors due to our consolidation in October 2002. As we add new service fee revenue in the future, we currently intend to target the underlying contracts to earn an average gross profit percentage of 30-40%.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $25.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 or 8.9% of total net revenues, as compared to $27.0 million, or 28.9% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002. SG&A expenses decreased from the prior year primarily due to certain restructuring actions, including personnel reductions, which occurred in September 2002. In addition, the prior year SG&A expense included certain incremental sales and marketing costs. These items were partially offset as due to the consolidation of Supplies Distributors, we now reclassify certain costs previously characterized as cost of service fee revenue to SG&A. 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 Supplies Distributors effective October 1, 2002. We expect SG&A expense to increase in calendar year 2004 due primarily to additional sales and marketing expenses and incremental professional fees primarily related to compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

     Asset and Lease Impairments. In December 2003, we relocated our Canadian operations within Toronto. In conjunction with this relocation, we recorded an impairment expense for an operating lease and the write-down of certain assets. 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, as well as the disposition of certain other assets no longer used in the business. While we do not anticipate

30

further restructuring related charges, we constantly review our operating expenses to ensure they match our targeted growth levels.

     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 Supplies Distributors’ earnings prior to October 1, 2002. Due to the consolidation of Supplies Distributors, effective October 1, 2002, we no longer report equity in earnings of affiliate, on a consolidated basis, for our ownership of Supplies Distributors.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in interest expense is due to the consolidation of Supplies Distributors, which, as a distributor, requires substantial borrowings to fund its working capital needs.

     Interest Income. Interest income was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Effective October 1, 2002 we now report lower consolidated interest income resulting from the elimination of interest income from the subordinated note due to PFS from Supplies Distributors upon consolidating Supplies Distributors, which caused the reduction in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2003. Interest income decreased as compared to the year ended December 31, 2002 attributable to lower interest rates earned by our cash and cash equivalents and lower balances of cash and cash equivalents.

     Income Taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we recorded a tax provision of $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily associated with Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European operations. We did not record an income tax benefit associated with our consolidated net loss in our U.S. operations or the net loss from our Canadian and European service fee segments. A valuation allowance has been provided for our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2003, which are primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

     Product Revenue. Product revenue was $57.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, which reflects product sales for Supplies Distributors subsequent to its consolidation effective October 1, 2002. Supplies Distributors had $163.6 million of product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 prior to consolidation, or a total of $221.1 million of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002.

     Net Service Fee Revenue (including service fee revenue, affiliate). Net service fee revenue was $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $3.4 million or 8.6%. The decrease in net service fee revenue over the prior period was due to the impact of certain client terminations in calendar year 2001 of $12.6 million, primarily the Daisytek contracts discussed below, partially offset by an increase in net service fee revenue from existing clients of $4.7 million and the impact of new service contract relationships of $4.5 million. The increase in net service fee revenue from existing clients would have been $6.5 million had we not consolidated Supplies Distributors, and thus eliminated service fee revenue, affiliate for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Net service fee revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, included $1.3 million of client relationships terminated in the year ended December 31, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, net service fee revenue from existing clients increased from the prior periods, primarily related to increased service fee revenue from our largest client offset by decreases in the net service fee revenues earned from the business activity with Supplies Distributors due to the consolidation in October 2002.

     In conjunction with a $10.9 million sale of a distribution facility to Daisytek in May 2001, we terminated certain of our transaction management services agreements entered into between us, Daisytek and a Daisytek subsidiary. Concurrently with the closing of the facility sale, we entered into a six-month transition services agreement to provide Daisytek with certain transitional and information technology services. The net impact of the changes in our services provided to Daisytek, excluding the business activity previously provided to BSD, another Daisytek subsidiary, was a reduction in net service fee revenue of $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

     Pursuant to the terms of our transaction management services agreement with Supplies Distributors, we earned service fees, which are reported as service fee revenue, affiliate in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (prior to the consolidation of Holdings’ results of operations effective October 1, 2002), of approximately

31

$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.

32

     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in interest expense is due to the consolidation of Holdings. Interest expense, without the consolidation of Holdings, would have been $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, due to an increase in our long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

     Interest Income. Interest income was $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest income, without the consolidation of Holdings, would have been $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Interest income increased as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, attributable to interest charged on our subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors, which was reflected in our consolidated results for nine months during the year ended December 31, 2002 (through the October 1, 2002 acquisition date), as compared to approximately four months during the prior year, offset by lower interest rates earned by our cash and cash equivalents and lower balances of cash and cash equivalents.

     Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a tax provision of $0.1 million primarily associated with Holdings’ Canadian and European operations. We did not record an income tax benefit associated with our consolidated net loss in our U.S. operations or the net loss from our Canadian and European service fee segments. A valuation allowance was provided for our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2002, which were primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million, which primarily related to a pre-tax loss from our Canadian operations that was able to be carried back to prior tax years. We did not record an income tax benefit for our European pre-tax losses in the current or prior period.

Supplies Distributors and Subsidiaries

     BSD, Daisytek, IBM and us were parties to various master distributor agreements that had various scheduled expiration dates through September 2001. Under these agreements, BSD and its affiliates Business Supplies Distributors Europe B.V. (“BSD Europe”), a Daisytek subsidiary, and BSD (Canada) Inc., a Daisytek subsidiary (“BSD Canada” and together with BSD and BSD Europe, the “BSD Companies”), acted as master distributors of various IBM products. Also under these agreements, Daisytek provided financing and credit support to the BSD Companies and we provided transaction management and fulfillment services to the BSD Companies. In June 2001, Daisytek notified us and IBM that it did not intend to renew these agreements upon their scheduled expiration dates.

     In July 2001, Supplies Distributors formed its wholly-owned subsidiaries Supplies Distributors of Canada, Inc. (“SDC”) and Supplies Distributors S.A. (“SDSA”), a Belgium corporation. Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries act as master distributors of various IBM and other products and, pursuant to a transaction management services agreement between us and Supplies Distributors, we provide transaction management and fulfillment services to Supplies Distributors, SDC and SDSA. We made an initial equity investment in Holdings for a 49% voting interest, and IFP made an equity investment for a 51% voting interest. Certain officers and directors of PFSweb owned, individually, a 9.8% non-voting interest, and, collectively, a 49% non-voting interest, in IFP. In addition to our equity investment in Holdings, we have also provided Supplies Distributors with a subordinated loan that, as of December 31, 2003, had an outstanding balance of $8.0 million and accrued interest at a rate of approximately 10%.

     On September 26, 2001, Supplies Distributors purchased all of the stock of the BSD Companies for a purchase price of $923,000. In conjunction with the purchase, BSD and Supplies Distributors were merged with Supplies Distributors being the surviving corporation. Effective December 31, 2001, BSD Canada and SDC were amalgamated, with SDC being the surviving corporation.

     Effective October 1, 2002, we purchased the remaining 51% interest in Holdings from IFP for $0.3 million.

     Pursuant to the terms of our transaction management services agreement with Supplies Distributors, we earned service fees, which are reported as service fee revenue, affiliate in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (prior to the consolidation of Holdings’ results of operations effective October 1, 2002), of approximately $4.7 million, net of $0.2 million of pass-through charges, for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $1.4 million, net of $0.3 million of pass-through charges, for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. For the nine months

33

ended December 31, 2001, our fees earned from BSD (the Daisytek subsidiary and predecessor to Supplies Distributors) were $3.7 million, net of $0.3 million of pass-through charges.

     Prior to the consolidation of Holdings’ operating results effective October 1, 2002, we recorded our interest in Holdings’ net income, which was allocated and distributed to the owners pursuant to the terms of Holdings’ operating agreement, under the modified equity method, which resulted in us recording our allocated earnings of Holdings or 100% of Holdings’ losses. As a result of our 100% ownership of Holdings, future earnings and dividends will be allocated and paid 100% to PFSweb. In May 2002, Holdings paid a $0.2 million dividend to IFP. In December 2002, Holdings paid us a $0.4 million dividend. In September 2003, Holdings paid us a $0.6 million dividend. Pursuant to the terms of its amended credit agreements, Holdings is currently restricted from paying cash dividends without the prior approval of its lenders. In addition, no distribution may be made if, after giving effect thereto, the net worth of Holdings would be less than $1.0 million.

     Summarized financial information for Holdings is as follows (in thousands):

     Summarized operating results for Holdings are as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, and primarily resulted from an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.5 million and decreases in inventory of $2.5 million and in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.6 million partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $0.5 million. The December 31, 2003, accounts payable balance was higher than normal primarily due to the timing of invoice processing by one of our master distribution vendors. Net cash used in operating activities was $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and primarily resulted from cash used to fund operating losses and the net impact of increases in Holdings’ inventories of $8.1 million from October 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $2.1 million and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.6 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, and primarily resulted from cash used to fund operating losses and the net impact of decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $9.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5.2 million. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily attributable to the remittance of the VAT monies due to the predecessor of Supplies Distributors and the reversal of client termination reserves, recorded as expense in prior year, and the reversal of deferrals applicable to the termination of the Daisytek transaction management services agreements, for which the related activities occurred in earlier periods. The decrease in other current assets primarily related to the collection of a note receivable, a governmental grant and VAT receivables associated with our European operations.

     Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 totaled $0.2 million, resulting primarily from capital expenditures of $1.9 million partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash of $1.7 million. The decrease in restricted cash resulted from a refinancing of certain of our previous debt and lease balances to remove the associated letter of credit cash restrictions. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $1.5 million, representing the net repayment of $2.9 million by Supplies Distributors of

34

our subordinated loan, which totaled $8.8 million at September 30, 2002, but which is now eliminated due to the consolidation of Holdings, (see “Supplies Distributors”) and net cash acquired in our acquisition of the remaining 51% interest of Holdings from IFP, offset by capital expenditures of $1.8 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 totaled $8.1 million. The net proceeds of $10.3 million from the sale of one of our distribution facilities to Daisytek were offset by capital expenditures of $3.2 million, the establishment of a restricted cash balance of $2.7 million to support our long-term debt and lease financing, and a subordinated loan of approximately $11.7 million to Supplies Distributors and an equity investment of $0.8 million in Holdings.

     Capital expenditures have historically consisted primarily of additions to upgrade our management information systems and general expansion of our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We expect to incur capital expenditures to support new contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. We anticipate that our total investment in upgrades and additions to facilities and information technology services for the upcoming twelve months will be approximately $2 to $4 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. A portion of these expenditures may be financed through operating or capital leases. We may elect to modify or defer a portion of such anticipated investments in the event that we do not achieve the revenue necessary to support such investments.

     Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, primarily representing $6.2 million of payments on debt and $1.0 million of payments on our capital lease obligations, offset by $4.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase and stock option programs and the sale of 1,581,944 shares of our common stock to certain institutional investors in a private placement transaction. Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, primarily representing $6.5 million of proceeds from debt. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001, representing the proceeds from debt and from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan offset by payments on our capital lease obligations and payments to acquire treasury stock.

     During the year ended December 31, 2003, our working capital increased to $21.4 million from $16.0 million at December 31, 2002 resulting primarily from the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in a private placement transaction and a reduction in our restricted cash balance, which resulted in a reclassification of a portion of our previously restricted cash from a long-term asset to a current asset. To obtain additional financing in the future, in addition to our current cash position, we plan to evaluate various financing alternatives including the sale of equity, utilizing capital or operating leases, borrowing under our own credit facility, or transferring a portion of our subordinated loan balances due from Supplies Distributors to third-parties. In conjunction with certain of these alternatives, we may be required to provide certain letters of credit to secure these arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining any additional financing or the terms thereof. We currently believe that our cash position, financing available under our credit facilities and funds generated from operations (including our anticipated revenue growth and/or cost reductions to offset lower than anticipated revenue growth) will satisfy our presently known operating cash needs, our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, our lease obligations, and additional subordinated loans to Supplies Distributors, if necessary, for at least the next twelve months.

     The following is a schedule of our total contractual cash obligations, which is comprised of operating leases, debt and capital leases (including interest), as of December 31, 2003 (in millions):

     In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of December 31, 2002, we had $2.9 million of cash restricted as collateral for letters of credit. In September 2003, in connection with the amendment to our credit

35

facility with Comerica, we refinanced certain debt instruments and leases. This refinancing allowed us to reduce the amount of letters of credit, and resulting restricted cash collateral to $1.2 million at December 31, 2003. The remaining letters of credit currently expire at various dates through March 2007, the related debt and lease obligations termination dates. In addition, as described above, we have provided collateralized guarantees to secure the repayment of certain of Supplies Distributors’ and it subsidiaries’ credit facilities. Many of the debt facilities include both financial and non-financial covenants, and also include cross default provisions applicable to other agreements. To the extent we fail to comply with our debt covenants, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and our required level of stockholders’ equity, and the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, we would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. Any requirement to accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of December 31, 2003, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and we believe that we will maintain such compliance throughout calendar year 2004. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors or its subsidiaries by its lenders, in the event that Supplies Distributors or its subsidiaries are unable to do so. We are also required to maintain a subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors of $7.0 million, as amended. We have to seek lender approval to increase or decrease this amount. We do not have any other material financial commitments.

     In September 2002, we implemented a restructuring plan and terminated approximately 10% of our workforce. In conjunction with the terminations and certain asset write-offs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2002, we believe we reduced our annual operating expenses by approximately $5.0 to $6.0 million, as compared to our annual run-rate incurred in the first six months of the year ended December 31, 2002. In December 2003, we finalized the restructuring activities by relocating our Canadian operations within Toronto to further reduce our annual operating expenses. While we do not anticipate further restructuring related charges, we constantly review our operating expenses to ensure they match our targeted growth levels.

     We currently believe that we are still operating with and incurring costs applicable to excess physical capacity in our U.S. and European operations. We believe that based on our current cost structure, as we add revenue, we will be able to cover our reduced infrastructure costs and reach profitability. We currently estimate that the net service fee revenue needed to leverage our existing infrastructure and cost structure and reach profitability is approximately between $12 million to $13 million per quarter, including service fees earned from our subsidiary Supplies Distributors, which are eliminated in consolidation. No assurance can be given that we can achieve such operating levels, or that, if achieved, we will be profitable in any particular fiscal period. We will reevaluate the carrying value of certain of the excess long-lived warehouse operation and information technology infrastructure assets for impairment in 2004, in conjunction with our future operating plans, and determine if additional asset impairment costs should be recognized.

     In the future, we may attempt to acquire other businesses or seek an equity or strategic partner to generate capital or expand our services or capabilities in connection with our efforts to grow our business. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties and may require additional financing. Therefore, we can give no assurance with respect to whether we will be successful in identifying businesses to acquire or an equity or strategic partner, whether we or they will be able to obtain financing to complete a transaction, or whether we or they will be successful in operating the acquired business.

     On September 27, 2001, Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries entered into short-term credit facilities with IBM Credit Corporation (“IBM Credit”) and IBM Belgium Financial Services S.A. (“IBM Belgium”) to finance its distribution of IBM products. As of December 31, 2003, the subsequently amended asset-based credit facilities provided financing for purchasing IBM inventory and certain other receivables up to $27.5 million and up to 12.5 million Euros (approximately $15.7 million) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. On March 29, 2004, we amended these credit facilities to extend the expiration date through March 2005 and to reduce the minimum subordinated loan balance PFSweb is required to maintain with Supplies Distributors to $7 million. This amendment also provides for the reduction of the maximum credit limit under the IBM Credit facility to $22.5 million effective July 1, 2004, unless IBM Credit sells a participation interest in the facility, at which time the credit limit will be raised by the amount of the participation interest, yet in no event to more than $27.5 million.

     In March 2002, Supplies Distributors also entered into a loan and security agreement with Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest) (“Congress”) to provide financing for up to $25 million of eligible accounts receivables in the U.S. and Canada. The Congress facility expires on the earlier of three years or the date on which the parties to

36

the IBM master distributor agreement no longer operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IBM no longer supplies products pursuant to such agreement. In Europe, SDSA and BSD Europe entered into a two year factoring agreement, which has subsequently been renewed through March 2005, with Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. (“Fortis”) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million Euros (approximately $9.4 million) (originally 10 million euros, amended in October 2002) of eligible accounts receivables. Borrowings under this agreement can be either cash advances or straight loans, as defined.

     These credit facilities contain cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties, provide guarantees, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure and pay dividends, as well as financial covenants, such as annualized revenue to working capital, net profit after tax to revenue, minimum net worth and total liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, and are secured by all of the assets of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries, as well as collateralized guaranties of Holdings and PFSweb. Additionally, we are required to maintain a subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors of no less than $7.0 million, maintain restricted cash of less than $5.0 million and a minimum shareholders’ equity, as defined, of at least $18.0 million. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors or SDSA under these facilities if Supplies Distributors, SDC, or SDSA are unable to do so. We have also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors and SDSA to IBM, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM Credit.

     On March 28, 2003, Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. and Priority Fulfillment Services of Canada, Inc., (both wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFSweb and collectively the “Borrowers”) entered into a two year Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) to provide financing for up to $7.5 million of eligible accounts receivable in the U.S. and Canada. We entered this agreement to supplement our existing cash position and provide funding for our future operations, including our targeted growth. On September 11, 2003, the Borrowers and Comerica amended this agreement to provide financing for up to $5.0 million of eligible accounts receivable (“Working Capital Advances”) and financing for up to $2.5 million of eligible equipment purchases (“Equipment Advances”). Outstanding Equipment Advances under the amended Comerica facility have a final maturity date of September 10, 2006. The agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the Borrowers’ ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net worth, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The agreement also limits our ability to increase the subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors without the lender’s approval. The agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Borrowers, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb. At December 31, 2003, we had $2.2 million of Working Capital Advances and $1.3 million of Equipment Advances outstanding under this facility. The Working Capital Advances were subsequently repaid in January 2004. The amendment in September 2003 allowed us to reduce certain of our existing letters of credit, and thus remove restrictions on the related cash security.

     On November 7, 2003, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors in a private placement transaction pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,581,944 shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at $2.16 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $3.4 million. After deducting expenses, the net proceeds are approximately $3.2 million. In addition to the Common Stock, the investors received one-year warrants to purchase an aggregate 525,692 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share and four-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 395,486 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share. We intend to use the net proceeds from this private placement for general working capital purposes.

Inventory Management

     Prior to September 30, 1999, our agreements with IBM and certain other clients were structured as master distributor agreements. The transaction management services we provided for IBM under these agreements included purchasing and reselling IBM product inventory to IBM customers. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, we restructured our agreements with IBM so that we no longer purchased or resold the IBM product inventory. In addition, we transferred to Daisytek the IBM-related customer accounts receivables, inventory and accounts payable. As such, we did not own product inventory while Daisytek, through its subsidiary BSD, purchased and resold the product inventory and we provided transaction management services and fulfillment services to BSD. In

37

September 2001, us, our then affiliate Supplies Distributors and IBM entered into new agreements whereby Supplies Distributors became the master distributor of IBM product inventory. Effective October 1, 2002, we purchased the remaining ownership interest in Supplies Distributors and as such now consolidate their financial position with our own.

     We manage our inventories held for sale by maintaining sufficient quantities of product to achieve high order fill rates while at the same time maximizing inventory turnover rates. Inventory balances will fluctuate as we add new product lines. To reduce the risk of loss due to supplier price reductions, our master distributor agreement provides for price protection under which we receive credits if the supplier lowers prices on previously purchased inventory.

Seasonality

     The seasonality of our business is dependent upon the seasonality of our clients’ business and the sale of their products. Accordingly, our management must rely upon the projections of our clients in assessing quarterly variability. We believe that with our current client mix and their current business volumes our service fee business activity will be at its lowest in the quarter ended March 31 and at its highest in the quarter ended June 30. We anticipate that our product revenue will be highest during the quarter ended December 31.

     We believe that results of operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year.

Inflation

     Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN No. 45 requires a company to recognize a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing a guarantee. This liability would be recorded at the inception of a guarantee and would be measured at fair value. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 requires a company to consolidate a variable interest entity if it is designated as the primary beneficiary of that entity even if the company does not have a majority of voting interests. A variable interest entity is generally defined as an entity where its equity is unable to finance its activities or where the owners of the entity lack the risk and rewards of ownership. The provisions of this statement apply at inception for any entity created after January 31, 2003. For an entity created before February 1, 2003, the provisions of this interpretation must be applied at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     The FASB Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” to address certain revenue recognition issues. The guidance provided from EITF 00-21 addresses both the timing and classification in accounting for different earnings processes. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

38

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, including allowances for the collectibility of accounts and other receivable and the recoverability of inventory. The recognition and allocation of certain operating expenses, restructuring costs and the determination of costs applicable to client terminations in our consolidated financial statements also required us to make estimates and assumptions. Our estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from estimates. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it would likely result in a material adverse impact to our business, operating results and financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Revenue and Cost Recognition

     We recognize product revenue upon shipment of product to customers. We permit our customers to return defective products (that we then return to the manufacturer) and incorrect shipments for credit against other purchases and provide for estimated returns and allowances. We offer terms to our customers that we believe are standard for our industry.

     We reflect freight costs billed to customers as components of product revenues. We record freight costs as a component of cost of goods sold. We record our product costs as they are incurred.

     Under the master distributor agreements, we bill IBM for reimbursements of certain expenses, including: pass through customer marketing programs, including rebates and coop funds; certain freight costs; direct costs incurred in passing on any price decreases offered by IBM to Supplies Distributors or its customers to cover price protection and certain special bids; the cost of products provided to replace defective product returned by customers; and certain other expenses as defined. We record a receivable for these reimbursable amounts as they are incurred with a corresponding reduction in either inventory or cost of product revenue. We also reflect pass through customer marketing programs as a reduction of product revenue.

     Our service fee revenues primarily relate to our (1) distribution services, (2) order management/customer care services and (3) the reimbursement of out-of-pocket and third party expenses.

     Distribution services relate primarily to inventory management, product receiving, warehousing and fulfillment (i.e., picking, packing and shipping). Service fee revenue for these activities are recognized as earned, which is, either (i) on a per transaction basis or (ii) at the time of product fulfillment, which occurs at the completion of the distribution services.

     Order management/customer care services relate primarily to taking customer orders for our client’s products via various channels such as telephone call-center, electronic or facsimile. These services also entail addressing customer questions related to orders, as well as cross-selling/up-selling activities. The service fee revenue is recognized as the services are rendered. Fees charged to the client are on a per transaction basis based on either (i) a pre-determined fee per order or fee per telephone minutes incurred, or (ii) are included in the product fulfillment service fees which are recognized on product shipment.

     Our billings for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, such as travel, and certain third-party vendor expenses such as shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges are included in gross service fee revenue. The related reimbursable costs are reflected as pass-through charges and reduce total gross service fee revenue in computing net service fee revenue.

     Our cost of service fee revenue, representing the cost to provide the services described above, is recognized as incurred. Cost of service fee revenue also includes certain costs associated with technology collaboration and ongoing technology support, which include creative website development and maintenance, web hosting, technology interfacing, and other ongoing programming activities. These activities are primarily performed to support the distribution and order management/customer care services and are recognized as incurred.

39

     We also perform billing services and information management services for our clients. Billing services and information management services are typically not billed separately to clients because the activities are continually performed, and the costs are insignificant and are generally covered by other fees described above. Therefore, any revenue attributable to these services is often included in the distribution or order management fees that we recognize as services are performed. The service fee revenue associated with these activities are currently not significant and are incidental to the above-mentioned services.

     We recognize revenue, and record trade accounts receivables, pursuant to the methods described above when collectibility is reasonably assured. Collectibility is evaluated on an individual customer basis taking into consideration historical payment trends, current financial position, results of independent credit evaluations and payment terms.

     We primarily perform our services under one to three year contracts that can be terminated by either party. In conjunction with these long-term contracts we sometimes receive start-up fees to cover our implementation costs, including certain technology infrastructure and development costs. We defer the fees received, and the related costs, and amortize them over the life of the contract. The amortization of deferred revenue is included as a component of service fee revenue. The amortization of deferred implementation costs is included as a cost of service fee revenue. To the extent implementation costs, excluding certain technology infrastructure and development costs, exceed the fees received, excess costs are expensed as incurred.

     Current and non-current deferred implementation costs are a component of prepaid expenses and other assets, respectively. Implementation costs associated with technology infrastructure and development costs are a component of property and equipment. Current and non-current deferred implementation revenues are a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

     Inventories

     Inventories (merchandise, held for resale, all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries assume responsibility for slow-moving inventory under certain master distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but have the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes as defined. We review inventory for impairment on a periodic basis, but at a minimum, annually. Recoverability of the inventory on hand is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the inventory to the fair value of the inventory. During 2003, we agreed to certain modifications to a selected master distributor agreement. As a result of these modifications, we reevaluated our inventory for impairment during 2003. Based on this review, we increased our allowance for slow moving inventory from $0.1 million at December 31, 2002 to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2003.

     In the event we and IBM do not renew the master distributor agreements, we will mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ and its subsidiaries’ then existing inventory.

     Inventories include merchandise in-transit that has not been received by us but that has been shipped and invoiced by Supplies Distributors’ vendors. The corresponding payable for inventories in-transit is included in debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

     Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

     For our Canadian and European operations, the local currency is the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.

     Historically, we deemed intercompany transactions with our foreign subsidiaries as long-term investments part of our net investment. Accordingly, we recorded transaction gains or losses on these intercompany transactions in other comprehensive income (loss). Effective September 30, 2002, due to changes in the operations of the subsidiaries whereby we no longer believe certain of these transactions to be long-term in nature, we will include certain future intercompany transaction gains and losses in the determination of net income or loss. We will

40

continue to report gains or losses on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature as a separate component of members’ capital.

     A description of other significant accounting policies is included in footnote 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

     We are exposed to various market risks including interest rates on our financial instruments and foreign exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

     Our interest rate risk is limited to our outstanding balances on our inventory and working capital financing agreements, loan and security agreement and factoring agreement for the financing of inventory, accounts receivable and certain other receivables, which amounted to $56.8 million at December 31, 2003. A 100 basis point movement in interest rates would result in approximately $0.3 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense based on the outstanding balance of these agreements at December 31, 2003.

Foreign Exchange Risk

     Currently, our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. In the future, our foreign currency exchange risk may also include other currencies applicable to certain of our international operations. We may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. To hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations, we may enter into forward currency exchange contracts. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or for speculative purposes.

     Historically, we deemed intercompany transactions with our foreign subsidiaries as long-term investments and thus part of our net investment. Accordingly, we recorded transaction gains or losses on these intercompany transactions in other comprehensive income (loss). Effective September 30, 2002, due to changes in the operations of our subsidiaries whereby we no longer believe certain of these transactions to be long-term in nature, we will include certain future intercompany transaction gains and losses in the determination of net income or loss.
