PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company;” “Supplies Distributors” refers to Supplies Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries; “Retail Connect” refers to PFSweb Retail Connect, Inc.; and “PFS” refers to Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, excluding Supplies Distributors and Retail Connect. In connection with the sale of certain of the assets of eCOST.com, Inc. (“eCOST”) described below, the name of eCOST was changed to PFSweb Retail Connect, Inc. in March 2011.
PFS Overview
     PFS is an international business process outsourcing provider of end-to-end eCommerce solutions to major brand name companies seeking to optimize their supply chain and to enhance their traditional and online business channels and initiatives in the United States, Canada, and Europe. PFS offers a broad range of service offerings that include digital marketing, eCommerce technologies, order management, customer care, logistics and fulfillment, financial management and professional consulting.
Supplies Distributors Overview
     Supplies Distributors, PFS and InfoPrint Solutions Company (“IPS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RICOH Company Limited (“RICOH”), have entered into master distributor agreements under which Supplies Distributors acts as a master distributor of various products, primarily IPS product.
     Supplies Distributors has obtained certain financing that allows it to fund the working capital requirements for the sale of primarily IPS products. Pursuant to the transaction management services agreements between PFS and Supplies Distributors, PFS provides to Supplies Distributors transaction management and fulfillment services such as managed web hosting and maintenance, procurement support, web-enabled customer contact center services, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services, information management, and international distribution services. Supplies Distributors does not have its own sales force and relies upon IPS’ sales force and product demand generation activities for its sale of IPS products. Supplies Distributors sells its products in the United States, Canada and Europe.
     All of the agreements between PFS and Supplies Distributors were made in the context of a related party relationship and were negotiated in the overall context of PFS’ and Supplies Distributors’ arrangement with IPS. Although management believes that the terms of these agreements are generally consistent with fair market values, there can be no assurance that the prices charged to or by each company under these arrangements are not higher or lower than the prices that may be charged by, or to, unaffiliated third parties for similar services.
eCOST Overview
     Until February 2011 the Company operated eCOST primarily as a multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise, which sold products primarily to customers in the United States. In February 2011 the Company sold substantially all of the inventory and certain intangible assets of the eCOST discount retailer business unit for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million (before expenses of approximately $0.2 million) and the assumption by the purchaser of certain limited liabilities of eCOST. The purchase price represented approximately $1 million for inventory and the balance for the intangible assets. In connection with the closing of this business unit, the Company incurred exit costs of approximately $0.3 million related to employee termination costs, excess property

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
and equipment and certain contract termination costs and may incur additional costs, including excess facility costs. In December 2010, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $2.8 million as a result of this sale. For all periods presented, the Company has reported the operating results of the eCOST discount retailer business unit, excluding costs expected to continue to occur in the future, as discontinued operations. The remaining assets and business operations of eCOST will be conducted under the name PFSweb Retail Connect and will continue to provide certain services, primarily under a product ownership based model, to certain of the Company’s client relationships on an ongoing basis.
Basis of Presentation
     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion of management and subject to the foregoing, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2011, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Results of the Company’s operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
     Certain prior period data has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income (loss) or total shareholders’ equity.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
     All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
     Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. These uncertainties are discussed in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Investment in Affiliates
     PFS has made advances to Supplies Distributors that are evidenced by a Subordinated Demand Note (the “Subordinated Note”). Under the terms of certain of the Company’s debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased to more than $5.0 million or decreased to less than $3.5 million without prior approval of the Company’s lenders. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $3.5 million in both periods. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     PFS has also made advances to Retail Connect, which aggregated $11.1 million as of both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Certain terms of the Company’s debt facilities provide that the total advances to Retail Connect may not be less than $2.0 million without prior approval of Retail Connect’s lender, if needed. PFSweb, Inc. has also advanced to Retail Connect an additional $7.7 million and $7.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The PFS and PFSweb advances are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
     The Company’s service fee revenue is generated under contractual service fee relationships with multiple client relationships. No service fee client or product revenue customer exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenue or accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations is as follows:
                 
    Nine Months Ended
    September 30,
    2011   2010
Product Revenue (as a percentage of Product Revenue):
               
Customer 1
    16 %     17 %
Customer 2
    9 %     10 %
 
               
Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of Service Fee Revenue):
               
Client 1
    15 %     6 %
Client 2
    15 %     7 %
Client 3
    1 %     10 %
     PFS previously operated three distinct geographical contract arrangements with Client 3, which are aggregated in the service fee revenue percentages reflected above. As of September 30, 2010, substantially all of Client 3’s contracts with PFS had expired in accordance with their terms and were not renewed.
     The Company has provided certain collateralized guarantees of its subsidiaries’ financings and credit arrangements. These subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees.
     Supplies Distributors has multiple arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and IPS and is dependent upon the continuation of such arrangements. These arrangements, which are critical to Supplies Distributors’ ongoing operations, include master distributor agreements and certain working capital financing agreements. Substantially all of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from IPS. Supplies Distributors also relies upon IPS’ sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such services would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business. In addition, Supplies Distributors has product sales to IBM and IPS business affiliates.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
     RICOH has advised Supplies Distributors that it is restructuring its IPS business which will include certain realignment and operational changes in the sale and distribution of IPS products. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these changes to its business, though it believes the changes will result in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors beginning in 2012.
Inventories
     Inventories (all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves based upon estimates of declines in values due to inventories that are slow moving or obsolete, excess levels of inventory or values assessed at lower than cost.
     Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under its IPS master distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined. In the event PFS, Supplies Distributors and IPS terminate the master distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ then existing inventory.
Property and Equipment
     The Company’s property held under capital leases amounted to approximately $2.4 million and $1.5 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $2.1 million and $2.8 million, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Income Taxes
      The Company records a tax provision primarily associated with state income taxes and its Supplies Distributors subsidiary’s international operations. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its net deferred tax assets.
Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
     The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Income taxes of approximately $0.4 million were paid by the Company during each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance requires the presentation of items of net income and comprehensive income in either a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. This account guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The impact of adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only requires a change in the format of the Company’s current presentation.

Inventory and Working Capital Financing Agreement, United States
     Supplies Distributors has a short-term credit facility with IBM Credit LLC to finance its distribution of IPS products in the United States, providing financing for eligible IPS inventory and certain receivables up to $25.0 million through its expiration in March 2012. As of September 30, 2011, Supplies Distributors had $4.1 million of available credit under this facility. The credit facility contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors to, among others, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties (including other direct or indirect Company subsidiaries), 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, and total liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, and are secured by certain of the assets of Supplies Distributors, as well as a collateralized guarantee of PFS and a Company parent guarantee. Additionally, PFS is required to maintain a minimum Subordinated Note receivable balance from Supplies Distributors of $3.5 million and the Company is required to maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity of $18.0 million.

The facility also includes a monthly service fee. Given the structure of this facility and as outstanding balances, which represent inventory purchases, are repaid within twelve months, the Company has classified the outstanding amounts under this facility as accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2011, based on the available borrowing collateral balances, Supplies Distributors had $1.2 million of available credit under this agreement. The Wells Fargo facility expires on the earlier of March 2014 or the date on which the parties to the IPS master distributor agreement no longer operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IPS no longer supplies products pursuant to such agreement. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo facility accrue interest at prime rate plus 0.25% to 0.75% (3.75% as of September 30, 2011) or Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% to 3.0%, dependent on excess availability and subject to a minimum of 3.0%, as defined.

capital stock ownership structure. Supplies Distributors has entered into blocked account agreements with its banks and Wells Fargo pursuant to which a security interest was granted to Wells Fargo for all U.S. and Canadian customer remittances received in specified bank accounts. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these bank accounts held $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which was restricted for payment to Wells Fargo.
Loan and Security Agreement — PFS
     PFS has a Loan and Security Agreement (“Comerica Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”). The Comerica Agreement provides for up to $10.0 million of eligible accounts receivable financing through September 2012. The Comerica Agreement also allows for up to $12.5 million of eligible accounts receivable financing during certain seasonal peak months. As of September 30, 2011, PFS had $3.6 million of available credit under this facility. Borrowings under the Comerica Agreement accrue interest at a defined rate, which will generally be prime rate plus 2%, with a minimum of 4.5% (5.25% at September 30, 2011). The Comerica Agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon PFS’ ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties (including other direct or indirect Company subsidiaries), make capital expenditures, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net worth of $20 million, as defined, a minimum earnings before interest and taxes, plus depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation accruals, if any, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The Comerica Agreement restricts the amount of the Subordinated Note receivable from Supplies Distributors to a maximum of $5.0 million. Comerica has provided approval for PFS to advance incremental amounts subject to certain cash inflows to PFS, as defined, to certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, if needed. The Comerica Agreement is secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a Company parent guarantee.
     On November 10, 2011, PFS entered into an amended agreement with Comerica to also provide for up to $2.5 million of eligible equipment purchases (“Equipment Advances”). Outstanding Equipment Advances under the amended Comerica Agreement accrue interest at prime rate plus 2.25% and have a final maturity date of April 15, 2015.
Credit Facility — Retail Connect
     Retail Connect has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), through May 2012, which is collateralized by substantially all of Retail Connect’s assets. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory up to a specified amount. Outstanding borrowings under the facility bear interest at prime rate plus 1% or Eurodollar rate plus 3.5%. There were no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, Retail Connect had $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and $0.1 million of available credit under this facility. Subsequent to the sale of certain assets in February 2011, amounts available under the outstanding letter of credit are secured by restricted cash in equivalent amounts until expiration. In connection with the line of credit, Retail Connect entered into a cash management arrangement whereby Retail Connect’s operating accounts are considered restricted and swept and used to repay outstanding amounts under the line of credit, if any. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the restricted cash amount was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The credit facility restricts Retail Connect’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including other direct or indirect Company subsidiaries), make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, and requires a minimum tangible net worth for Retail Connect of $0 million, as defined. The Company has guaranteed all current and future obligations of Retail Connect under this line of credit.
Factoring Agreement
     Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary has a factoring agreement with BNP Paribas Fortis that provides factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $10.1 million as of September 30, 2011) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2014. This factoring agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing. Borrowings accrue interest at Euribor plus 0.7% (2.0% at September 30, 2011). This agreement contains certain financial covenants, including minimum tangible net worth.

Taxable Revenue Bonds
     PFS has a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the “MBFC”) in connection with the issuance by the MBFC of MBFC Taxable Variable Rate Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. Project) (the “Bonds”). The MBFC loaned the proceeds of the Bonds to PFS for the purpose of financing the acquisition and installation of equipment, machinery and related assets located in one of the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi distribution facilities. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate (0.3% as of September 30, 2011), as determined by Comerica Securities, as Remarketing Agent. PFS, at its option, may convert the Bonds to a fixed rate, to be determined by the Remarketing Agent at the time of conversion.
     The primary source of repayment of the Bonds is a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by Comerica pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement between PFS and Comerica under which PFS is obligated to pay to Comerica all amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has a maturity date of April 2012. The Bonds require a final principal repayment of $800,000 in January of 2012. PFS’ obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of PFS and a Company parent guarantee.
Debt Covenants
     To the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with covenants applicable to its debt or vendor financing obligations, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and required level of shareholders’ equity or net worth, and one or all of the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, the Company would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. In particular, if PFS service fee revenue declines from expected levels and it is unable to reduce costs to correspond to such reduced revenue levels or if Supplies Distributors revenue or gross profit declines from expected levels, such events may result in a breach of one or more of the financial covenants required under its working capital line of credit. In such event, absent a waiver, the working capital lender would be entitled to accelerate all amounts outstanding thereunder and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and demand for payment under the Company parent guarantee. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Master Lease Agreements
     The Company has a Term Lease Master Agreement with IBM Credit Corporation (“Master Lease Agreement”) that provides for leasing or financing transactions of equipment and other assets, which generally have terms of three years. The amounts outstanding under this Master Lease Agreement ($0.5 million as of September 30, 2011 and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2010) are secured by the related equipment and a Company parent guarantee.
     The Company has other leasing and financing agreements and will continue to enter into such arrangements as needed to finance the purchasing or leasing of certain equipment or other assets. Borrowings under these agreements are generally secured by the related equipment, and in certain cases, by a Company parent guarantee.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     The Company receives municipal tax abatements in certain locations. During 2004 the Company received notice from a municipality that it did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements. In December 2006, the Company received notice that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to the Company’s tax abatement. The Company disputed the adjustment and such dispute has been settled with the municipality. However, the amount of additional property taxes to be assessed against the Company and the timing of the related payments has not been finalized. As of September 30, 2011, the Company believes it has adequately accrued for the expected assessment.
     In April 2010, a sales employee of eCOST was charged with violating various federal criminal statutes in connection with the sales of eCOST products to certain customers, and approximately $620,000 held in an eCOST deposit account was seized and turned over to the Office of the U.S. Attorney in connection

with such activity. The Company received subpoenas from the Office of the U.S. Attorney requesting information regarding the employee and other matters, and the Company has responded to the subpoenas and is fully cooperating with the Office of the U.S. Attorney. The Company has commenced its own investigation into the actions of the employee. Neither the Company nor eCOST have been charged with any criminal activity, and the Company intends to seek the recovery or reimbursement of the funds which are currently classified as other receivables in the September 30, 2011 financial statements. Based on the information available to date, the Company is unable to determine the amount of the loss, if any, relating to the seizure of such funds. No assurance can be given, however, that the seizure of such funds, or the inability of the Company to recover such funds or any significant portion thereof, or any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
     The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. PFS is generally required to indemnify its service fee clients against any third party claims alleging infringement by PFS of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.
10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     In February 2011, the Company sold certain assets of eCOST to a third party for a total aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $2.3 million (before expenses of approximately $0.2 million). Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the related operating results of the eCOST segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
     Summarized financial information in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the discontinued eCOST operations is as follows (in thousands):

     At December 31, 2010, the amount of allowance for slow moving inventory included in discontinued operations was $0.2 million.
     The original eCOST acquisition resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This excess purchase price was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, is not amortized yet is subject to an annual impairment test, using a fair-value-based approach. The remaining balance of goodwill, $0.8 million as of December 31, 2010, was included in assets of discontinued operations.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Information
     We have made forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and there can be no guarantee that these statements will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements include assumptions as to how we may perform in the future. When we use words like “seek,” “strive,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “target” and “estimate” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those set forth above or elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. These factors include:
    our ability to retain and expand relationships with existing clients and attract and implement new clients;
 
    our reliance on the fees generated by the transaction volume or product sales of our clients;
 
    our reliance on our clients’ projections or transaction volume or product sales;
 
    our Supplies Distributors subsidiary’s dependence upon its agreements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and InfoPrint Solutions Company (“IPS”);
 
    our dependence upon our agreements with our major clients;
 
    our client mix, their business volumes and the seasonality of their business;
 
    our ability to finalize pending contracts;
 
    the impact of strategic alliances and acquisitions;
 
    trends in e-commerce, outsourcing, government regulation both foreign and domestic and the market for our services;
 
    whether we can continue and manage growth;
 
    increased competition;
 
    our ability to generate more revenue and achieve sustainable profitability;
 
    effects of changes in profit margins;
 
    the customer and supplier concentration of our business;
 
    the reliance on third-party subcontracted services;
 
    the unknown effects of possible system failures and rapid changes in technology;
 
    foreign currency risks and other risks of operating in foreign countries;
 
    potential litigation;
 
    our dependency on key personnel;
 
    the impact of new accounting standards, and changes in existing accounting rules or the interpretations of those rules;
 
    our ability to raise additional capital or obtain additional financing;
 
    our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to borrow under current financing arrangements and maintain compliance with debt covenants;
 
    relationship with and our guarantees of certain of the liabilities and indebtedness of our subsidiaries; and
 
    taxation on the sale of our products.
     We have based these statements on our current expectations about future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee these expectations actually will be achieved. In addition, some forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expected or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

     In this model, we typically charge for our services on a cost-plus basis, 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. Our billings for reimbursements of these costs and other ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses include travel, shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges and are included in pass-through revenue.
     As an additional service, we offer our second model, the Agent, or Flash, financial model, in which our clients maintain ownership of the product inventory stored at our locations as in the Enablement model. When a customer orders the product from our clients, a “flash” sale transaction passes product ownership to us for each order and we, in turn, immediately re-sell the product to the customer. The “flash” ownership exchange establishes us as the merchant of record, which enables us to use our existing merchant infrastructure to process sales to end customers, removing the need for the clients to establish these business processes internally, but permitting them to control the sales process to end customers. In this model, based on the terms of our current client arrangements, we record product revenue on a net basis.
     Finally, our Retail model allows us to purchase inventory from the client just as any other client reseller partner. In this model, we place the initial and replenishment purchase orders with the client and take ownership of the product upon delivery to our facility. Consequently, in this model, we generate product revenue as we own the inventory and the accounts receivable arising from our product sales. Under the Retail model, depending upon the product category and sales characteristics, we may require the client to provide product price protection as well as product purchase payment terms, right of return, and obsolescence protection appropriate to the product sales profile. In this model we recognize product revenue for customer sales. Freight costs billed to customers are reflected as components of product revenue. This business model requires significant working capital requirements, for which we have credit available either through credit terms provided by our client or under senior credit facilities.
     In general, we provide the Enablement model through our PFS and Supplies Distributors subsidiaries, the Agent or Flash model through our PFS and Supplies Distributors subsidiaries and the Retail model

through our Supplies Distributors subsidiaries and our Retail Connect subsidiary. In connection with the sale of certain of the assets of eCOST.com (“eCOST”), the name of eCOST was changed to PFSweb Retail Connect, Inc., in March 2011.
     Growth is a key element to achieving our future goals, including achieving and maintaining sustainable profitability. Growth in our Enablement and Agent models is driven by two main elements: new client relationships and organic growth from existing clients. We focus our sales efforts on larger contracts with brand-name companies within two primary target markets, online brands and retailers and technology manufacturers, which, by nature, require a longer duration to close but also have the potential to be higher-quality and longer duration engagements.
     Growth within our Retail model is currently primarily driven by our ability to attract new master distributor arrangements with InfoPrint Solutions Company (“IPS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RICOH Company Limited (“RICOH”), or other manufacturers and the sales and marketing efforts of the manufacturers and third party sales partners. RICOH has advised us that it is restructuring its IPS business, which will include certain realignment and operational changes in the sale and distribution of IPS products. We are currently evaluating the impact of these changes to our business, though we believe the changes will result in reduced revenues and profitability under our Retail model beginning in 2012.
     We continue to monitor and control our costs to focus on profitability. While we are targeting our new service fee contracts to yield incremental gross profit, we also expect to incur incremental investments in technology development, operational and support management and sales and marketing expenses.
     Our expenses comprise primarily four categories: 1) cost of product revenue, 2) cost of service fee revenue, 3) cost of pass-through revenue and 4) selling, general and administrative expenses.
     Cost of product revenues — 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 vendors 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.
     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 pass-through revenue — the related reimbursable costs for pass-through expenditures are reflected as cost of pass-through revenue.
     Selling, General and Administrative expenses — consist of expenses such as compensation and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, distribution costs (excluding freight) applicable to the Supplies Distributors business and the Retail model, executive, management and administrative personnel and other overhead costs, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses.
     Monitoring and controlling our available cash balances and our expenses 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. To aid this, in May 2010, we completed a public offering of 2.3 million shares of our common stock that provided net proceeds of $7.3 million.

     Product Revenue, net. Product revenue was $37.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, which represents a decrease of $1.4 million or 3.5% as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Product revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $6.6 million to $122.0 million or 5.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower sales volume, partially offset by increased unit pricing on certain products, changes in end-user customer utilization and the impact of euro currency conversion rates. We currently expect 2011 annual product revenue to be slightly lower than in 2010.
     RICOH has advised Supplies Distributors that it is restructuring its IPS business which will include certain operational changes in the sale and distribution of IPS products. We are currently evaluating the impact of these changes to our business, though we believe the changes will result in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors beginning in 2012.

     Service Fee Revenue. Service fee revenue of $23.0 million increased $6.6 million, or 39.9%, in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Service fee revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $13.9 million to $62.8 million or 28.3% compared to the corresponding nine months in the prior year period. The increase in service fee revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to increased service fees from existing client relationships along with service fees from new client relationships that began in late 2010 and early 2011 partially offset by the impact of terminated clients.
     The change in service fee revenue is shown below ($ millions):

     Cost of Product Revenue. The cost of product revenue decreased by $1.1 million, or 3.0%, to $35.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011. The resulting gross profit margin was $2.6 million, or 6.9% of product revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $2.9 million, or 7.4% of product revenue, for the comparable 2010 period. The cost of product revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $6.2 million, or 5.2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The gross profit margin was $8.8 million, or 7.2%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $9.2 million, or 7.2%, in the same period of the prior year. The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include the impact of certain incremental gross margin earned on product sales resulting from certain product price increases and the impact of certain incremental inventory cost reductions.
     Cost of Service Fee Revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of service fees was 23.0% in three month period ended September 30, 2011 and 27.0% in the same period of 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of service fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 24.8% and 27.6%, respectively. The gross profit percentage decrease is primarily due to a change in the client mix, lower gross margins on certain new and/or high growth clients, including certain start up costs and the impact of incremental costs incurred in implementing processes targeted to drive future long-term operating efficiencies. The margin in the prior year period includes the benefit of certain higher margin incremental project work.
     We target to earn an overall average gross profit of 25-30% on existing and new service fee contracts, but we have and may continue to accept lower gross margin percentages on certain contracts depending on contract scope and other factors including projected volumes.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $9.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 selling, general and administrative expenses were $28.1 million and $25.6 million, respectively. As a percentage of total net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 13.4% in the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.3% and 12.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in costs is primarily attributable to increased non-cash stock compensation expense, sales and marketing costs and personnel related expenses as we continue to make investments to support current and future growth. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred approximately $0.3 million of incremental relocation related costs necessary to support our growth. Due to planned facility expansions and relocation, we expect to incur certain ongoing incremental relocation related costs during the next several quarters into mid-2012. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 also included the impact of certain executive disability benefit costs that did not occur in 2011.
     Income Taxes. We record a tax provision associated primarily with state income taxes and our subsidiary Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European operations as well as our Philippines operations. A valuation allowance has been provided for the majority of our net deferred tax assets, which are

primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards and certain foreign deferred tax assets. We expect we will continue to record an income tax provision associated with state income taxes and Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European results of operations as well as our Philippines operations.
     Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. Discontinued operations generated income of approximately $20,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a loss of $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. A loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million and $0.8 million was generated in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In February 2011, we sold substantially all of the inventory and certain intangible assets applicable to our eCOST business unit for a total aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $2.3 million. For each of the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, we have classified the operating results of this business unit, excluding costs expected to continue to occur in the future, as discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we generated $2.3 million in proceeds from the February 2011 sale of our eCOST business plus $1.3 million applicable to a reduction of eCOST inventory prior to the sale. In addition, we generated $2.6 million applicable to a decrease in accounts receivable related to cash collected from our clients and customers following the December 31 seasonal peak period of our services business, and including $0.8 million from eCOST customers following the February 2011 sale of that business. Additional proceeds of $3.1 million were generated due to an increase in accounts payable, deferred revenue, accrued expenses and other liabilities following the timing of payments we make for products and services, payment processing and related transactions costs, net of a $5.0 million use of cash by our eCOST operations relating to settling accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities following our February 2011 sale of that business. We also received proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $2.1 million, primarily through the exercise of stock options. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in inventories of $7.1 million, which is expected to be a temporary increase, related to the timing of product receipts.
     Our principal sources of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $7.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to a public offering and a $4.7 million reduction in accounts receivable related to the collection of cash from our customers and clients following the December 31 seasonal peak.
     We incurred capital expenditures of $7.0 million and $3.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which primarily consist of payments for internally developed software, distribution equipment, leasehold improvements, and furniture and fixtures. Payments on capital leases and net payments on debt were $2.0 million and $3.4 million in the aggregate during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     Capital expenditures have historically consisted of additions to upgrade our management information systems, development of customized technology solutions to support and integrate with our service fee clients, and general expansion and upgrades to our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We expect to incur capital expenditures to support new contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. Based on our current client business activity and our targeted growth plans, we anticipate our total investment in upgrades and additions to facilities and information technology services for the upcoming twelve months, including costs to implement new clients, will be approximately $9 million to $11 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. To maintain our current operating cash position, a portion of these expenditures may be financed through client reimbursements, debt, operating or capital leases or additional equity. We may elect to modify or defer a portion of such anticipated investments in the event we do not obtain the financing or achieve the financial results necessary to support such investments.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our working capital decreased to $18.2 million from $22.6 million at December 31, 2010 primarily due to paydown of debt facilities and capital expenditures, partially offset by cash proceeds from our sale of certain intangible assets applicable to the eCOST.com business unit and proceeds from issuance of common stock related to stock option exercises.

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 credit facilities, expanding our current credit facilities or entering into new debt agreements. 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 we will be successful in obtaining any additional financing or the terms thereof. We currently believe our cash position, financing available under our credit facilities and funds generated from operations will satisfy our presently known operating cash needs, our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, our current debt and lease obligations, and additional loans to our subsidiaries, if necessary, for at least the next twelve months.
     During the past few years, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States and foreign governments. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to renew our credit facilities.
     In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of September 30, 2011, we had $0.5 million of cash restricted for repayment to lenders. In addition, as described above, we have provided collateralized guarantees to secure the repayment of certain of our subsidiaries’ credit facilities. Many of these facilities include both financial and non-financial covenants, and also include cross default provisions applicable to other credit facilities and agreements. These covenants include minimum levels of net worth for the individual borrower subsidiaries and restrictions on the ability of the borrower subsidiaries to advance funds to other borrower subsidiaries. As a result, it is possible for one or more of these borrower subsidiaries to fail to meet their respective covenants even if another borrower subsidiary otherwise has available excess funds, which, if not restricted, could be used to cure the default. To the extent we fail to comply with our debt covenants, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and our required level of shareholders’ equity, and the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, we would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. In particular, if PFS service fee revenue declines from expected levels and it is unable to reduce costs to correspond to such reduced revenue levels or if Supplies Distributors revenue or gross profit declines from expected levels, such events may result in a breach of one or more of the financial covenants required under their working capital lines of credit. In such event, absent a waiver, the working capital lender would be entitled to accelerate all amounts outstanding thereunder and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and payment under our Company parent guarantee. A 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 September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. Further, any non-renewal of any of our credit facilities would have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. We do not have any other material financial commitments, although future client contracts may require capital expenditures and lease commitments to support the services provided to such clients.
     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.
     We receive municipal tax abatements in certain locations. During 2004 we received notice from a municipality that we did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements. In December 2006, we received notice that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to our tax abatement. We disputed the adjustment and such dispute has been settled with the municipality. However, the amount of additional property taxes to be assessed against us and the timing of the related payments has not been finalized. As of September 30, 2011, we believe we have adequately accrued for the expected assessment.

     In April 2010, a sales employee of eCOST was charged with violating various federal criminal statutes in connection with the sales of eCOST products to certain customers, and approximately $620,000 held in an eCOST deposit account was seized and turned over to the Office of the U.S. Attorney in connection with such activity. We received subpoenas from the Office of the U.S. Attorney requesting information regarding the employee and other matters, and have responded to such subpoenas and are fully cooperating with the Office of the U.S. Attorney. We have commenced our own investigation into the actions of the employee. Neither the Company nor eCOST have been charged with any criminal activity, and we intend to seek the recovery or reimbursement of the funds, which are currently classified as other receivables in the September 30, 2011 financial statements. Based on the information available to date, we are unable to determine the amount of the loss, if any, relating to the seizure of such funds. No assurance can be given, however, that the seizure of such funds, or our inability to recover such funds or any significant portion thereof, or any costs and expenses we may incur in connection with such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
     Supplies Distributors Financing
     To finance their distribution of IPS products, Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries have short-term credit facilities with IBM Credit LLC (“IBM Credit”) and IBM Belgium Financial Services S.A. (“IBM Belgium”). We have provided a collateralized guarantee to secure the repayment of these credit facilities. These asset-based credit facilities provided financing for up to $25.0 million and up to 16 million euros (approximately $21.6 million at September 30, 2011) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. These agreements expire in March 2012.
     Supplies Distributors also has a loan and security agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) to provide financing for up to $25 million of eligible accounts receivables in the United States and Canada. The Wells Fargo facility expires on the earlier of March 2014 or the date on which the parties to the IPS master distributor agreement no longer operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IPS no longer supplies products pursuant to such agreement.
     Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary has a factoring agreement with BNP Paribas Fortis to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $10.1 million as of September 30, 2011) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2014 as well as certain financial covenants, including minimum tangible net worth.
     These credit facilities contain cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to related parties (including other direct or indirect Company subsidiaries), 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 cash flow from operations, 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, as well as a collateralized guarantees by their respective parent companies including Supplies Distributors and/or PFS and a Company parent guarantee. Additionally, we are required to maintain a subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors of no less than $3.5 million, not maintain restricted cash of more than $5.0 million, are restricted with regard to transactions with related parties, indebtedness and changes to capital stock ownership structure and a minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $18.0 million. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors or its subsidiaries under these facilities if they are unable to do so. We have also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries to IBM and IPS, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM credit.
     PFS Financing
     PFS has a Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), which provides for up to $10.0 million of eligible accounts receivable financing through September 2012. The Agreement allows for up to $12.5 million of eligible accounts receivable financing during certain seasonal peak months. We entered this Agreement to supplement our existing cash position, and provide funding for our current and future operations, including our targeted growth. The Agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon our ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets,

incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including other direct or indirect Company subsidiaries), make capital expenditures, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net worth of $20.0 million, as defined, a minimum earnings before interest and taxes, plus depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation accruals, if any, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The Agreement also limits PFS’ ability to increase the subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors to more than $5.0 million and permits PFS to advance incremental amounts subject to certain cash inflows to PFS, as defined, to certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates. The Agreement is secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a Company parent guarantee.
     On November 10, 2011, PFS entered into an amended agreement with Comerica to also provide for up to $2.5 million of eligible equipment purchases (“Equipment Advances”). Outstanding Equipment Advances under the amended Comerica Agreement accrue interest at prime rate plus 2.25% and have a final maturity date of April 15, 2015.
     PFS financed certain capital expenditures through a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the “MBFC”) pursuant to which the MBFC issued MBFC Taxable Variable Rate Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. Project) (the “Bonds”). The MBFC loaned PFS the proceeds of the Bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition and installation of equipment, machinery and related assets to support incremental business from a Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility. The primary source of repayment of the Bonds is a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by Comerica pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement between PFS and Comerica under which PFS is obligated to pay to Comerica all amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has a maturity date of April 2012. The amount outstanding on this Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2011 was $0.8 million, the payment of which is due in January 2012. PFS’ obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by substantially all of its assets, including restricted cash of $0.1 million, and a Company parent guarantee.
     Retail Connect Financing
     Retail Connect has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million with Wells Fargo Bank National Association (“Wells Fargo”), which is collateralized by substantially all of Retail Connect’s assets and expires in May 2012. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory, up to specified maximums. As of September 30, 2011, Retail Connect had $0.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and $0.1 million of available credit under this facility. Amounts available under the outstanding letters of credit are currently secured by restricted cash in equivalent amounts. The credit facility restricts Retail Connect’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as a minimum tangible net worth of $0 million, as defined. The Company has guaranteed all current and future obligations of Retail Connect under this line of credit.
     In February 2011, we sold substantially all of the inventory and certain intangible assets of eCOST for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million (before expenses of approximately $0.2 million) and the assumption by the purchases of certain limited liabilities of eCOST. In connection with the closing of this business unit, we incurred exit costs of approximately $0.3 million related to employee termination costs, excess property and equipment and contract termination costs and may incur additional costs, including excess facility costs. During 2010, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $2.8 million.
     Public Offering
     In May 2010, we completed a public offering of our common stock pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 2.3 million shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, at $3.50 per share, resulting in net proceeds after deducting offering expenses of approximately $7.3 million.

Seasonality
     The seasonality of our service fee business is dependent upon the seasonality of our clients’ business and sales of their products. Accordingly, we 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 run rate service fee business activity will be at its lowest in the quarter ended March 31 and highest in the quarter ended December 31. We anticipate our product revenue will be highest during the quarter ended December 31. We believe our historical revenue pattern makes it difficult to predict the effect of seasonality on our future revenues and results of operations.
     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.
Critical Accounting Policies
     A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our December 31, 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We maintain a comprehensive set of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 1A.   Risk Factors
     In addition to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected by any or all of the following factors.
General Risks Related to 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 have guaranteed certain indebtedness and obligations of our subsidiaries Supplies Distributors and Retail Connect.
     As of September 30, 2011, our total credit facilities outstanding, including debt, capital lease obligations and our vendor accounts payable related to financing of IPS product inventory, was approximately $54.0 million. Certain of the credit facilities have maturity dates in calendar year 2012 or beyond, but are classified as current liabilities in our consolidated financial statements given the underlying nature of the credit facility. We cannot provide assurance that our credit facilities will be renewed by the lending parties. Additionally, these credit facilities include both financial and non-financial covenants, many of which also include cross default provisions applicable to other agreements. These covenants also restrict our ability to transfer funds among our various subsidiaries, which may adversely affect the ability of our subsidiaries to operate their businesses or comply with their respective loan covenants. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. Any non-renewal or any default under any of our credit facilities would have a material adverse impact upon our business and financial condition. In addition we have provided $3.5 million of subordinated indebtedness to Supplies Distributors as of September 30, 2011. The maximum level of this subordinated indebtedness to Supplies Distributors that may be provided without approval from our lenders is $5.0 million. 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 have also guaranteed Retail Connect’s $7.5 million credit line, as well as certain of its vendor trade payables.
Specific Risks Related to Our Business Process Outsourcing Business
Our business is subject to the risk of customer and supplier concentration.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, two clients represented approximately 30% of our total service fee revenue (excluding pass-through revenue) and approximately 13% of our total consolidated revenue. The loss of either of these clients may have a material adverse effect upon our business and financial condition.
     The majority of our Supplies Distributors product revenue is generated by sales of product purchased under master distributor agreements with IPS. These agreements are terminable at will and no assurance can be given that IPS will continue the master distributor agreements with Supplies Distributors. Supplies Distributors does not have its own sales force and relies upon IPS’s sales force and product demand generation activities for its sale of IPS product. Discontinuance of such activities would have a material adverse effect on Supplies Distributors’ business and our overall financial condition.
     Sales by Supplies Distributors to two customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 25% of Supplies Distributors’ total product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, (15% of our consolidated net revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2011). The loss of any one or

both of such customers, or non-payment of any material amount by these or any other customer would have a material adverse effect upon Supplies Distributors’ business.
     RICOH has advised Supplies Distributors that it is restructuring its IPS business which will include certain operational changes in the sale and distribution of IPS products. We are currently evaluating the impact of these changes to our business, though we believe the changes will result in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors beginning in 2012.
Risks Related to Our Stock
Our stock price could decline if a significant number of shares become available for sale.
     As of September 30, 2011, we have an aggregate of 2.3 million stock options outstanding to employees, directors and others with a weighted average exercise price of $4.54 per share. The shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of these options 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 options, 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.
