Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Supplies Distributors, Inc., and eCOST.com, Inc., are collectively referred to as the “Company;” “Supplies Distributors” refers to Supplies Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries; “eCOST” refers to eCOST.com, Inc.; and “PFSweb” refers to PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries excluding Supplies Distributors and eCOST.
PFSweb Overview
     PFSweb is an international provider of integrated business process outsourcing services to major brand name companies seeking to maximize their supply chain efficiencies and to extend their traditional and e-commerce initiatives in the United States, Canada, and Europe. PFSweb offers a broad range of services such as professional consulting, technology collaboration, managed web hosting and internet application development, order management, web-enabled customer contact centers, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, information management, facilities and operations management, kitting and assembly services, and international fulfillment and distribution services.
Supplies Distributors Overview
     Supplies Distributors, PFSweb and InfoPrint Solutions Company (“IPS”) a joint venture company owned by Ricoh and International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), 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 PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb 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’s 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 PFSweb and Supplies Distributors were made in the context of a related party relationship and were negotiated in the overall context of PFSweb’s 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
     eCOST is a multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise, selling products primarily to customers in the United States. eCOST offers products in several merchandise categories, including computer hardware and software, home electronics, digital imaging, watches and jewelry, housewares, DVD movies, video games and cellular/wireless. eCOST carries products from leading manufacturers such as Sony, JVC, Canon, Hewlett-Packard, Denon, Onkyo, Garmin, Panasonic, Toshiba and Microsoft.
     The Company’s liquidity has been negatively impacted as a result of the merger with eCOST. Since the merger, eCOST has experienced a net usage of cash primarily due to losses incurred. As a result, the Company has had to support eCOST’s cash needs with the goal of achieving a stabilized operational position and profitable performance. The amount of additional cash needed to support eCOST operations

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
will depend upon working capital requirements, bank financing availability as well as eCOST’s continued ability to improve its financial results. Further advances to eCOST may be limited by the Company’s current cash and future cash flow and may be restricted by the Company’s credit facility obligations.
     In the event eCOST is unable to increase its revenue and/or gross profit from its present levels, it may fail to comply with 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 guaranty. 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.
     Management currently believes eCOST will meet the Company’s expectations related to improved overall profitability. The Company reported improvement in eCOST’s financial results during 2007 and the first half of 2008 and currently expects continued improvement as a result of efforts to increase sales, improve product mix and control operating costs, although there can be no assurance that these future improvements will be achieved. If eCOST does not meet future expectations, the Company currently anticipates that it would be able to terminate or sublease eCOST’s facilities, liquidate remaining inventory through the eCOST website and reduce personnel related costs as needed so as to minimize any material impact upon the Company’s other segments.
Basis of Presentation
     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2008, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 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 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 operating expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions. The Company’s 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.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Investment in Affiliates
     Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, 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 $6.5 million or decreased to less than $5.5 million without prior approval of the Company’s lenders. As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $5.5 million. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     PFS has also made advances to eCOST, which aggregated $9.4 million as of June 30, 2008. Certain of the Company’s debt facilities provide that the total advances to eCOST may not be less than $2.0 million without prior approval of eCOST’s lender or increased above $11.7 million without the approval of PFS’ lender. PFSweb has also advanced to eCOST $4.7 million as of June 30, 2008. PFS has received the approval of its lender to advance an additional $2.3 million to certain of its subsidiaries, including eCOST, if needed.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
     The Company’s service fee revenue is generated under contractual service fee relationships with multiple client relationships. No clients/customers exceeded 10% of consolidated revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2008. A summary of the customer and client concentrations is as follows:
                 
    Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
    2008   2007
Product Revenue (as a percentage of Product Revenue):
               
Customer 1
    11 %     9 %
Customer 2
    10 %     10 %
 
               
Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of Service Fee Revenue):
               
Client 1
    39 %     25 %
Client 2
    10 %     13 %
Client 3
    6 %     11 %
 
               
Accounts Receivable:
               
Client/Customer 1
    10 %     13 %
Client/Customer 2
    9 %     10 %
     PFSweb 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.
     The Company has multiple arrangements with IBM and IPS and is dependent upon the continuation of such arrangements. Substantially all of the Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from IPS. These arrangements, which are critical to the Company’s ongoing operations, include Supplies Distributors’ master distributor agreements, certain of Supplies Distributors’ working capital financing agreements, product sales to IBM and IPS business units and an IBM term master lease agreement. Supplies Distributors also relies upon IPS’s sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such activities would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business.
     eCOST’s arrangements with its vendors are terminable by either party at will. Loss of any vendors could have a material adverse effect on eCOST’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Sales of HP and HP-related products represented 52% of eCOST’s net revenues (12% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues) in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Inventories
     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. Recoverability of the inventory on hand is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the inventory to the estimated fair value of the inventory.
     Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under certain 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 PFSweb, 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 $3.9 million and $4.6 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $7.5 million and $10.5 million, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

     The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment periodically, but at a minimum annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets include property, intangible assets, goodwill and certain other assets. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value would be determined using appraisals, discounted cash flow analysis or similar valuation techniques. The Company makes judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. The Company records impairment losses in the period in which it determines that the carrying amount is not recoverable. This may require the Company to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of their future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review.
Cash Paid
     The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.8 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Income taxes of approximately $0.1 million and $1.1 million were paid by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

4.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
     Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, common stock equivalents of 0.8 million of outstanding options are included in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, outstanding options of 0.5 million to purchase common shares were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the weighted diluted average share computation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, outstanding options of 0.6 and 1.4 million, respectively, to purchase common shares were antidilutive and have been excluded from the weighted diluted average share computation for each period. Warrants not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were 0.1 million.
5. STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS:
     On June 2, 2008, the Company effected a 1-for-4.7 reverse split (“Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Split, the common stock was combined and reclassified based on a ratio of 4.7 shares of issued and outstanding common stock being combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Shareholders who were entitled to fractional shares received cash in lieu of fractional shares. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split on a retro-active basis.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 181,704 options to purchase shares of common stock to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company.

Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Outstanding amounts under the facility bear interest at rates ranging from the prime rate to the prime rate plus 0.5% (5.5% as of June 30, 2008), depending on eCOST’s financial results. As of June 30, 2008, eCOST had $1.7 million of letters of credit outstanding and $1.5 million of available credit under this facility. In connection with the line of credit, eCOST entered into a cash management arrangement whereby eCOST’s operating amounts are considered restricted and swept and used to repay outstanding amounts under the line of credit. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the restricted cash amount was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The credit facility restricts eCOST’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, and requires a minimum tangible net worth of $0 million, as defined. PFSweb has guaranteed all current and future obligations of eCOST under this line of credit.

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 $5 million 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 the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate (2.8% as of June 30, 2008), 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”) in the initial face amount of $5.1 million 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 2009 at which time, if not renewed or replaced, will result in a draw on the undrawn face amount thereof. If the Letter of Credit is renewed or replaced, the Bonds require future annual principal repayments of $800,000 in January of each year through 2012. PFS’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of PFS, including restricted cash of $1.5 million and a Company parent guarantee.
Debt Covenants
     To the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with its 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, in the event eCOST is unable to increase its revenue and/or gross profit from its present levels, it may fail to comply with 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 guaranty. 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.
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 3 years. The outstanding leasing transactions ($0.8 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007) are secured by the related equipment.
     The Company also has two other master agreements with financing companies that provide for leasing or financing transactions of certain equipment. The amounts outstanding under these agreements were $1.5 million and $1.8 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and are secured by the related equipment.
     The Company has other leasing and financing agreements and will continue to enter into those 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.

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 has disputed the adjustment, but if the dispute is not resolved favorably, additional taxes of approximately $1.7 million could be assessed against the Company.

     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.

     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 you that 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.
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 as well as a leading multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise. We derive our revenues from three business segments: business process outsourcing, a master distributor and a discount online retailer.
     First, in our business process outsourcing segment 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, 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 warehouses that we lease or manage and include real-time inventory management and customized picking, packing and shipping of our clients’ customer orders. We currently offer the ability to 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, aviation, telecommunications and consumer electronics, among others.
     In this business process outsourcing 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 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 and other ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses include travel, shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges are included in pass-through revenue.
     Our second business segment is a product revenue model. In this segment, we are a master distributor of product for IPS and certain other clients. In this capacity, we purchase, and thus own, inventory and recognize the corresponding product revenue. As a result, upon the sale of inventory, we own the accounts receivable. Freight costs billed to customers are reflected as components of product revenue. This business segment requires significant working capital requirements, for which we have senior credit facilities to provide for more than $90 million of available financing.
     Our third business segment is a web-commerce product revenue model focused on the sale of products to a broad range of consumer and small business customers. In this segment we operate as a multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise. Our product line currently offers approximately 170,000 products in several primary merchandise categories, primarily including computer hardware and software, home electronics, digital imaging, watches and jewelry, housewares, DVD movies, video games and cellular/wireless.
     Growth is a key element to achieving our future goals, including achieving and maintaining sustainable profitability. Growth in our business process outsourcing segment 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, which, by nature, require a longer duration to close but also often provide the opportunity to be higher-quality and longer duration engagements.
     Growth within our product revenue business is primarily driven by our ability to attract new master distributor arrangements with IPS or other manufacturers and the sales and marketing efforts of the manufacturers and third party sales partners.
     Growth within our web-commerce product revenue model is primarily driven by eCOST’s ability to increase sales and expand its product line.
     We continue to monitor and control our costs to focus on profitability. While we are targeting our new service fee contracts to yield increased gross profit, we also expect to incur incremental investments to implement new contracts, investments in infrastructure and sales and marketing to support our targeted growth and increased public company professional fees.
     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) operating 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. Vendor marketing programs, such as co-op advertising, also reduce cost of product revenue.
     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.
     Operating expenses — consist primarily of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses such as compensation and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, advertising, on-line marketing and catalog production, distribution costs (excluding freight) applicable to the Supplies Distributors and eCOST businesses, 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 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. In recent years we have added to our available cash and liquidity positions through various transactions:
    Each of our primary operating subsidiaries has one or more asset based working capital financing agreements with various lenders.
 
    Between 2003 and 2006, we raised approximately $9.3 million in net proceeds from the sale of common stock in private placements to certain investors.

     Product Revenue, net. eCOST product revenue was $23.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008, a 15.0% decrease as compared to $27.1 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in sales to its business to business channel during the 2008 period.
     eCOST product revenue was $51.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 4.7% increase as compared to $48.7 million in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to continued emphasis on growth through an expanded product line, improved service capabilities and enhanced website capabilities.
     Supplies Distributors product revenue of $60.0 million increased $2.4 million, or 4.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations during the 2007 three month period that created alternative purchasing channels for certain customers, which did not occur in 2008.
     Supplies Distributors product revenue of $122.3 million increased $5.9 million, or 5.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations during the 2007 six month period that created alternative purchasing channels for certain customers, which did not occur in 2008.
     Service Fee Revenue. Service fee revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 included increased service fees generated from the impact of new service contract relationships that were added in

     Service fee revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 included approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of fees earned from client contracts terminated during late 2007 or during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
     Cost of Product Revenue. The gross margin for eCOST was $1.9 million or 8.3% of product revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $2.2 million or 8.1% of product revenue during the comparable period of 2007.
     eCOST gross margin was $4.1 million or 8.1% of product revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $4.0 million or 8.2% of product revenue during the comparable period of 2007.
     Supplies Distributors cost of product revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 4.4%, to $55.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of increased product sales. The resulting gross profit margin was $4.8 million or 8.0% of product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $4.7 million or 8.1% of product revenue for the comparable 2007 period. The gross profit margin in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 include the impact of certain incremental inventory cost reductions.
     Supplies Distributors cost of product revenue increased by $5.6 million, or 5.2%, to $113.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of increased product sales. The resulting gross profit margin was $8.8 million or 7.2% of product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $8.6 million or 7.3% of product revenue for the comparable 2007 period. The gross profit margin in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 include the impact of certain incremental inventory cost reductions.
     Cost of Service Fee Revenue. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of service fees to 28.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 28.4% in same period of 2007 is primarily due to the impact of certain existing client projects and the impact of a modified contract with an existing client. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2007 reflects lower gross margin on several new clients added in late 2006, which generally operate at lower margins in the first several quarters after implementation.
     The increase in gross profit as a percentage of service fees to 31.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 26.9% in same period of 2007 is primarily due to the impact of certain existing client projects and the impact of a modified contract with an existing client. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflects lower gross margin on several new clients added in late 2006, which generally operate at lower margins in the first several quarters after implementation. We expect 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.
     Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1.3 million to $12.1 million from the same 2007 period primarily due to an increase in certain personnel related

expenses and the prior year results benefitting from a favorable impact on exchange rates on certain intercompany accounts.
     Operating expenses were $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, or 10.7% of total net revenues, as compared to $22.4 million, or 10.5% of total net revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase is primarily due to certain personnel related expenses and the prior year results benefitting from a favorable impact of exchange rates on certain intercompany.
     In 2008, we anticipate incremental operating expenses for certain of our facilities as well as increased personnel costs to support our anticipated growth in revenue; however, as a percentage of net revenues, we are targeting operating expenses to remain relatively constant with prior year levels.
     Income Taxes. We recorded a tax provision associated primarily with state income taxes and our subsidiary Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European operations. We did not record a federal income tax benefit associated with our consolidated net loss in our U.S. operations or for our PFSweb Canadian pre-tax losses in the current or prior periods. A valuation allowance has been provided for the majority of our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, which are primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards, and certain foreign deferred tax assets. We expect that we will continue to record an income tax provision associated with state income taxes and Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and primarily resulted from a $10.0 million of increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $8.8 million decrease in accounts receivable and cash income before working capital changes of $4.6 million. These benefits were offset by a $5.9 million increase in prepaid expenses, other receivables and other assets and a $5.8 million increase in inventories.
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and primarily resulted from $2.8 million of net income, after adjusting consolidated net loss for non-cash items, a $1.1 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $3.1 million decrease in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6.2 million and an increase in restricted cash of $0.6 million.
     Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $1.8 million, resulting primarily from capital expenditures.
     Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $1.8 million, primarily representing capital expenditures.
     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. 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 will be approximately $5 to $8 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients as well as the eCOST infrastructure. To maintain our current operating cash position, a portion of these expenditures may be financed through 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.
     Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily representing $7.8 million of payments on debt, a $1.7 million increase in restricted cash and payments on capital leases of $0.9 million.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily representing a $1.3 million decrease in restricted cash and $1.5 million of proceeds from debt, partially offset by $1.0 million of payments on capital leases.
     Our liquidity has been negatively impacted as a result of the merger with eCOST. eCOST has experienced a net usage of cash primarily due to losses incurred. As a result, during the process of transitioning and integrating eCOST’s operations, PFSweb has had to support eCOST’s cash needs with the goal of achieving a stabilized operational position. The amount of further cash needed to support eCOST operations will depend upon the financing available as well as eCOST’s continued ability to improve its financial results. eCOST’s results have improved during 2007 and the first half of 2008 and we currently expect continued improvement as a result of efforts to increase sales, improve product mix and further improve operational efficiencies.
     In June 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a 1-for-4.7 reverse stock split to reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock. There was no impact on the number of authorized shares or the stated par value of our common stock as a result of the reverse stock split.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2008, our working capital decreased to $20.9 million from $22.5 million at December 31, 2007, primarily due to the reclassification of $2.4 million in taxable revenue bonds to short-term debt due to the April 2009 maturity of the related letters of credit securing the taxable revenue bonds. 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, entering into new debt agreements or transferring to third parties a portion of our subordinated loan balance due from Supplies Distributors. 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. In particular, all of our material credit agreements expire, by their terms, in March 2009. If we are unable to renew such credit facilities upon the same or substantially the same terms, our business and financial condition will be materially adversely affected. We currently believe our cash position, financing available under our credit facilities (assuming renewal in March 2009) and funds generated from operations (including, if necessary, 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 loans to our subsidiaries Supplies Distributors and eCOST, 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, vendor financing and capital leases (including interest) as of June 30, 2008, (in millions):

     In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of June 30, 2008, we had $3.8 million of cash restricted for payment of capital expenditures or repayments 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. 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, in the event eCOST is unable to increase its revenue and/or gross profit from its present levels, it may fail to comply with 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 payment under our parent guaranty. 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 June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. 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.
     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 guaranty to secure the repayment of these credit facilities. These asset-based credit facilities provided financing for up to $30.5 million and up to 16.0 million euros (approximately $25.2 million) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. These agreements expire in March 2009.
     Supplies Distributors also has a loan and security agreement with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”) to provide financing for up to $25 million of eligible accounts receivables in the United States and Canada. The Wachovia facility expires on the earlier of March 29, 2009 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 Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. (“Fortis”) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $11.8 million) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2009.
     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 and payments to related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), 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 guaranty of PFSweb. Additionally, we are required to maintain a subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors of no less than $5.5 million, maintain restricted cash of less 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.
     Our subsidiary, Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), has entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), which provides for up to $10.0 million of eligible accounts receivable financing through March 2009. 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 entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), 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, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The agreement also limits PFS’ ability to increase the subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors to more than $6.5 million and provides the approval for PFS to advance an additional $2.3 million to certain of its subsidiaries, including eCOST, if needed. The agreement is secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb.

     eCOST currently has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million with Wachovia, which is collateralized by substantially all of eCOST’s assets and expires in May 2009. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and letter of credit availability is limited to a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2008, eCOST had $1.7 million of letters of credit outstanding and $1.5 million of available credit under this facility. The credit facility restricts eCOST’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. PFSweb has guaranteed all current and future obligations of eCOST under this line of credit.
     In 2004, PFS incurred more than $5 million in capital expenditures to support incremental business from a distribution facility in Southaven, MS. PFS financed a significant portion of these expenditures through a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the “MBFC”) pursuant to which the MBFC issued $5 million 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 located in our Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility. The primary source of repayment of the Bonds is a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the initial face amount of $5.1 million issued by Comerica pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement between us 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 2009 at which time, if not renewed or replaced, will result in a draw on the undrawn face amount thereof. The amount outstanding on this Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2008 was $3.2 million. PFS’ obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by substantially all of its assets, including restricted cash of $1.5 million and a Company parent guarantee.
     In June 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors in a private placement transaction pursuant to which we issued and sold shares of our common stock resulting in net proceeds of $4.8 million. We have advanced the net proceeds to eCOST to support its operating requirements.
     To the extent we fail to comply with the various debt covenants described above, 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 June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
     eCOST has historically incurred significant operating losses and used cash to fund its operations. As a result, we have been required to invest cash to fund eCOST’s operations, which we may not be able to continue to do without approval from our lenders. The amount of further cash needed to support eCOST operations depends upon the financing available under its credit line as well as eCOST’s ability to improve its financial results. Through June 30, 2008, we have advanced $14.1 million to eCOST to fund eCOST’s cash flow requirements and have lender approval to advance an additional $2.3 million to certain of our subsidiaries, including eCOST. In the event we need to invest further cash to eCOST, we may be required to seek approval from our lenders to provide such funds. We can provide no assurance that we will receive such approval from our lenders or any terms or conditions required by our lenders in order to obtain such approval. In addition, PFSweb has provided a guaranty of eCOST’s bank line of credit and certain eCOST vendor trade payables.
     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 have disputed the adjustment, but if the dispute is not resolved favorably, additional taxes of $1.7 million could be assessed against us.

     On July 25, 2007 a purported class action lawsuit entitled Darral Frank and Joseph F. Keeley, Jr. v. PC Mall, Inc. dba eCOST.com and eCOST.com, Inc. was filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County. The purported class consists of all of current and former sales representatives who worked for the defendants in California from July 24, 2003 through July 24, 2007. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants failed to pay overtime compensation and interest thereon, failed to timely pay compensation to terminated employees and failed to provide meal and rest periods, all in violation of the California Labor Code and Business and Professions Code. The complaint seeks unpaid overtime, statutory penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, restitution and injunctive relief. The matter has been submitted to arbitration.
Seasonality
     The seasonality of our service fee business is dependent upon the seasonality of our clients’ business and sales of their products. Accordingly, our management must rely upon the projections of our clients in assessing quarterly variability. We believe with our current client mix and their current business volumes, our service fee business activity will be at it lowest in the quarter ended March 31. We anticipate our Supplies Distributors’ product revenue will be highest during the quarter ended December 31. Our eCOST business is moderately seasonal, reflecting the general pattern of peak sales for the retail industry during the holiday shopping season. Typically, a larger portion of our eCOST revenues occur during the fourth fiscal quarter. We believe our historical revenue growth 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 critical accounting policies is included in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
     We are exposed to various market risks including interest rates on financial instruments and foreign exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
     Our interest rate risk exists from our outstanding balances on our inventory and working capital financing agreements, taxable revenue bonds, loan and security agreements and factoring agreement for the financing of inventory, accounts receivable and certain other receivables and certain equipment, which amounted to $64.8 million at June 30, 2008. 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 June 30, 2008.
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 have and may continue, from time to time, to 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.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
     On July 25, 2007 a purported class action lawsuit entitled Darral Frank and Joseph F. Keeley, Jr. v. PC Mall, Inc. dba eCOST.com and eCOST.com, Inc. was filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County. The purported class consists of all of current and former sales representatives who worked for the defendants in California from July 24, 2003 through July 24, 2007. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants failed to pay overtime compensation and interest thereon, failed to timely pay compensation to terminated employees and failed to provide meal and rest periods, all in violation of the California Labor Code and Business and Professions Code. The complaint seeks unpaid overtime, statutory penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, restitution and injunctive relief. The matter has been submitted to arbitration.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
     There have been no material changes with regard 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, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commissions on March 31, 2008 other than those listed below.
Risks Related to All Our Business Segments
Our business and future growth depend on our continued access to bank and commercial financing.
     Our business and future growth currently depend on our ability to access bank and commercial lines of credit. We currently depend on an aggregate of approximately $113 million in line of credit facilities provided by various banks and commercial lenders. These lines of credit currently mature in March and April, 2009 and are secured by substantially all our assets. Our ability to renew our line of credit facilities depends upon various factors, including the availability of bank loans and commercial credit in general, as well as our financial condition and prospects. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that these credit facilities will continue to be available beyond their current maturity on reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to renew or replace our credit facilities or find alternative financing would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
Risks Related to Our PFS and Supplies Distributors Operating Segments
Our business is subject to the risk of customer and supplier concentration.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, a U.S. government agency with whom we have a contractual relationship, Xerox Corporation and a consumer products company represented approximately 39%, 10% and 6%, respectively, and approximately 25%, 11% and 13%, respectively of our total service fee revenue, net of pass-through revenue. The loss of, or non-payment of invoices by, any or all of such clients would have a material adverse effect upon our business. In particular, the agreement under which we provide services to such clients are terminable at will upon notice by such clients.
     A substantial portion 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. Discontinuance of such activities would have a material adverse effect on Supplies Distributors’ business and the Company’s financial condition.
     Sales by Supplies Distributors to two customers accounted for approximately 29% of Supplies Distributors’ total product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Sales to the same two customers accounted for approximately 27% of Supplies Distributors’ product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007. 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 Supplies Distributors’ business.

Risks Related to eCOST, our Online Discount Retailer Segment
Our business is subject to the risk of supplier concentration.
     Our business is dependent on sales of Hewlett Packard (HP) and HP-related products, which represented approximately 52% of eCOST’s net revenues (12% of our consolidated net revenues) in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. If our ability to purchase direct from HP is terminated or restricted, or if the demand for HP and HP-related products declines, our business will be materially adversely affected.
Taxation Risks Could Cause Our Future Sales to Decrease
     We do not collect sales or other taxes on shipments of most of our goods into most states in the U.S. One or more states may seek to impose sales or other tax collection obligations on out-of-jurisdiction e-commerce companies. A successful assertion by one or more states that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of merchandise or services could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, decrease our ability to compete with traditional retailers or internet retailers who do not collect sales tax, and otherwise harm our business. For example, New York State recently enacted legislation which, if not overturned, would impose sales tax liability upon Internet retailers who pay commissions, such as click-through charges, to independent third parties who are New York residents.
Risks Related to Our Stock
Our reverse stock split could have an adverse impact on our common stock and a potential anti-takeover effect.
     Our recently effected 1-for-4.7 reverse stock split gives no assurance that we will not be at risk for delisting in the future. The reverse stock split may reduce the liquidity of our common stock and thereby reduce the value of our common stock and our ability to use our equity as consideration for an acquisition or other corporate opportunity. In addition, the reverse split decreased the number of shares outstanding, giving individual orders the potential to create increased volatility in our stock price. The reverse split did not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, which remains at 75,000,000, and thus authorizes us to issue significantly more shares of our common stock, which could have a material adverse affect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company).
