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, 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 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 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 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 segment,
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 Companys
client relationships on an ongoing basis.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011, and
for the three months ended March 31, 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, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2011, its results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Results of the Companys operations for interim periods may
not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys financial position and results of operations.
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 Companys 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 Companys lenders. At March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010,
7
Table of Contents
PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $4.3 million in
both periods. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
PFS has also made advances to Retail Connect, which aggregated $11.1 million as of both March
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Certain terms of the Companys debt facilities provide that the
total advances to Retail Connect may not be less than $2.0 million without prior approval of Retail
Connects lender, if needed. PFSweb, Inc. has also advanced to Retail Connect an additional $7.4
million as of both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
The Companys 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 Companys consolidated total net revenue or accounts receivable during the three months
ended March 31, 2011. A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations is as
follows:
Three Months Ended | ||||||||
March 31, | ||||||||
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Product Revenue (as a percentage of
Product Revenue): |
||||||||
Customer 1 |
15 | % | 15 | % | ||||
Customer 2 |

Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of

Client 3 |
1 | % | 14 | % | ||||
Accounts Receivable: |
||||||||
Customer 2 |
7 | % | 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 March 31, 2011,
substantially all of Client 3s 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.
The Company 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 the Companys ongoing operations, include Supplies Distributors master distributor
agreements and certain of Supplies Distributors working capital financing agreements.
Substantially all of the 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 and the Company has an IBM term master lease agreement applicable to its
financing of property and equipment.
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.

Table of Contents
PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
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 Companys property held under capital leases amounted to approximately $1.8 million and
$1.5 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately
$1.8 million and $2.8 million, at
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.2 million during each of the three
month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Income taxes of approximately $0.1 million were paid
by the Company during both the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

respectively, were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the diluted weighted average share
computation.
5. STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS
In May 2010, the Company completed a public offering pursuant to which the Company issued and
sold an aggregate of 2.3 million shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, at $3.50 per
share, resulting in net proceeds after deducting offering expenses of $7.3 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 600,000
options to purchase shares of common stock to officers and employees of the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
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 March 31,
2011, Supplies Distributors had $0.9 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. Borrowings under the credit facility
accrue interest, after a defined free financing period, at prime rate plus 0.5% (3.75% as of March
31, 2011). 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.
Inventory and Working Capital Financing Agreement, Europe
Supplies Distributors European subsidiary has a short-term credit facility with IBM Belgium
Financial Services S.A. (IBM Belgium) to finance its distribution of IPS products in Europe. The
asset based credit facility with IBM Belgium provides up to 16.0 million euros (approximately $22.7
million as of March 31, 2011) in inventory financing and cash advances based on eligible inventory
and accounts receivable through its expiration in March 2012. As of March 31, 2011, Supplies
Distributors European subsidiaries had 2.0 million euros (approximately $2.8 million) of available
credit under this facility. The credit facility contains cross default provisions, various
restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors and its European subsidiary 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 European subsidiary, as well as
collateralized guaranties of Supplies Distributors and 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.
Borrowings under the credit facility accrue interest at Euribor plus 1.82% for cash advances, and,
after a defined free financing period, at Euribor plus 4.1% for inventory financings. As of March
31, 2011, the interest rate was 5.0% on the $16.7 million of outstanding inventory financings.
Supplies Distributors European subsidiary pays a monthly service fee on the commitment. Given the
structure of this facility and as outstanding inventory financing balances are repaid within twelve
months, the Company has classified the outstanding inventory financing amounts under this facility
as accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

Loan and Security Agreement Supplies Distributors
Supplies Distributors 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
receivable in the United States and Canada. As of March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011) or Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% to 3.0%, dependent on excess
availability and subject to a minimum of 3.0%, as defined. The interest rate as of March 31, 2011
was 3.75% for $7.8 million of outstanding borrowings and 3.0% for $1.0 million of outstanding
borrowings. This agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the
ability of Supplies Distributors to, among other things, 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
minimum net worth, as defined, and is secured by all 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 Subordinated
Note receivable balance from Supplies Distributors of no less than $3.5 million and may not
maintain restricted cash of more than $5.0 million, and is restricted with regard to transactions
with related parties, indebtedness and changes to 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these bank accounts
held $0.7 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 March 31, 2011, PFS had
$3.4 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 March 31, 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.

Credit Facility Retail Connect
Retail Connect has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million from Wachovia
Bank, N.A. (Wachovia), through May 2011, which is collateralized by substantially all of Retail
Connects 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 rates ranging from prime rate plus 0.75% to 1.25% or Eurodollar rate plus 3.0% to 4.0%,
depending on Retail Connects financial results. There were no outstanding borrowings as of March
31, 2011. As of March 31, 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 letters 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 Connects operating
amounts are considered restricted and swept and used to repay outstanding amounts under the line of
credit, if any. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the restricted cash amount was $0.1
million and $0.2 million, respectively. The credit facility restricts Retail Connects 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 had a factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial
Finance N.V. (Fortis) that provided factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $10.7
million as of March 31, 2011) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2011. This factoring
agreement was accounted for as a secured borrowing. Borrowings accrued interest at Euribor plus
1.2% (2.1% at March 31, 2011). This agreement contained various restrictions upon the ability of
Supplies Distributors European subsidiary to, among other things, merge, consolidate and incur
indebtedness, as well as financial covenants, such as minimum net worth. This agreement was secured
by a guarantee of Supplies Distributors, up to a maximum of 200,000 euros.
Supplies Distributors European subsidiary has entered into a new factoring agreement with BNP
Paribas Fortis effective April 1, 2011 that provides factoring for up to 7.5 million euros
(approximately $10.7 million as of March 31, 2011) of eligible accounts receivables through April
1, 2014 as well as certain financial covenants, including minimum
tangible net worth. Borrowings under the new agreement will accrue interest at Euribor plus 0.7%.
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 Companys Southaven,
Mississippi distribution facilities. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate (0.4% as of March
31, 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 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 Companys 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 March 31, 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 ($0.7 million as of March 31, 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 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, and in certain
cases, by a Company parent guarantee.
7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is currently organized into two primary operating segments, which generally align
with the corporate organization structure. In the first segment, PFS is an international provider
of various business process outsourcing solutions and operates as a service fee business. In the
second operating segment (Business and Retail Connect), subsidiaries of the Company purchase
inventory from clients and resell the inventory to client customers. In this segment, the Company
generally recognizes product revenue.

8. 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 Companys 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 March 31, 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
March 31, 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 Companys
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.
9. 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.

At December 31, 2010, the amount of allowance for slow moving inventory included in

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. Managements 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 dependence upon our 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.

Overview
We are an international business process outsourcing provider of end-to-end eCommerce
solutions. We provide these solutions to major brand name companies seeking to optimize their
supply chain and to enhance their traditional and online business channels and initiatives. We
derive our revenues from providing a broad range of services as we process individual business
transactions on our clients behalf using three different seller services financial models: 1) the
Enablement model, 2) the Agent (or Flash) model and 3) the Retail model.
We refer to the standard PFS seller services financial model as the Enablement model. In this
model, our clients own the inventory and are the merchants of record and engage us to provide
various business outsourcing services in support of their business operations. We derive our
service fee revenues from a broad range of service offerings that include digital marketing,
eCommerce technologies, order management, customer care, logistics and fulfillment, financial
management and professional consulting. 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 we lease or
manage. We currently provide infrastructure and distribution solutions to clients that operate in a
range of vertical markets, including technology manufacturing, computer products, cosmetics,
fragile goods, contemporary home furnishings, apparel, aviation, telecommunications, consumer
electronics and consumer packaged goods, among others.
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, we record product revenue either on a
gross or net basis depending on the underlying contract terms.
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 IPS or other manufacturers and the sales and marketing efforts
of the manufacturers and third party sales partners.
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 of $45.3 million in the three months ended March
31, 2011 decreased $0.3 million or 0.7% as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. We
currently expect our total 2011 annual product revenue to remain relatively stable as compared to
2010 levels.
Service Fee Revenue. Service fee revenue of $18.9 million increased $2.9 million, or 18.3%,
in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The
increase in service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 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. The change in service fee revenue is shown

Cost of Product Revenue. The cost of product revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 0.2%, to
$42.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The resulting gross profit margin was $2.8
million, or 6.2% of product revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $3.3 million, or
7.1% of product revenue, for the comparable 2010 period. The primary reason for the decrease in
gross profit margin is the impact of certain incremental gross margin earned on product sales in
the three months ended March 31, 2010 that did not occur in 2011.
Cost of Service Fee Revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of service fees was 27.1% in three
month period ended March 31, 2011 and 28.3% in the same period of 2010. 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.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, General and Administrative expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $9.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
As a percentage of total net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.8% in
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 12.6% in the prior year period. The increase in costs is
primarily attributable to increased non-cash stock compensation expense, sales and marketing costs,
personnel related expense as well as growth in technology related costs required to support current
and future growth.
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 a
loss of approximately $0.6 million and $6,000 in the three months ended March 31, 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 both of the three month periods ending March 31, 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
Net cash used in continuing operating activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, and primarily resulted from a decrease of $9.2 million in accounts payable,
deferred revenue, accrued expenses and other liabilities partially offset by a $3.6 million
decrease in inventories, a decrease in prepaid expenses, other receivables and other assets of $1.1
million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.7 million. Net cash provided by discontinued
operating activities was $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $0.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010, and primarily resulted from a decrease in inventories of $2.7 million, a $1.9
million decrease in accounts receivable and cash income before working capital changes of $0.5
million partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities. Net cash provided by discontinued operating activities was $0.4 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2010.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.0
million and consisted of proceeds of $2.3 million related to the sale of our eCOST subsidiary in
February 2011
20
Table of Contents
partially offset by a $1.4 million use of cash resulting from capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.9
million resulting from capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures have historically consisted primarily 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 $6 million to $9 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.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease in restricted cash of $0.8 million and net proceeds
from debt of $0.8 million partially offset by payments on capital lease obligations.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2010, representing a decrease in restricted cash partially offset by payments on
debt and capital lease obligations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our working capital decreased to $21.8 million
from $22.6 million at December 31, 2010 primarily due to paydown of debt facilities and a net loss
from operations. 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 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 March 31, 2011, we had $0.9 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
21
Table of Contents
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 $22.7 million at March 31, 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 had a factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial
Finance
22
Table of Contents
N.V. (Fortis) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $10.7 million
as of March 31, 2011) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2011. The subsidiary has
entered into a new factoring agreement with BNP Paribas Fortis effective April 1, 2011 to replace
the previous factoring agreement and provide factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately
$10.7 million as of March 31, 2011) of eligible accounts receivables under similar terms through
April 1, 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.
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 March 31, 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 Wachovia
Bank N.A. (Wachovia), which is collateralized by substantially all of Retail Connects assets and
expires in May 2011. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of accounts
receivable and inventory, up to
specified maximums. As of March 31, 2011, Retail Connect had $0.1 million of letters of credit
23
Table of Contents
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 Connects 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.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Companys 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
Our business and future growth depend on our continued access to bank and commercial financing. An
uncertain or recessed economy may negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial
condition or liquidity.
During the past several 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. An uncertain or recessed economy could
also adversely impact our customers operations or ability to maintain liquidity which may
negatively impact our business and results of operations.
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 $103.2 million in line of
credit facilities provided by various banks and commercial lenders. These lines of credit currently
mature at various dates through March 2014 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 maturities 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.
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 March 31, 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 $55.3 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 $4.3 million of subordinated indebtedness to Supplies
Distributors as of March 31, 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
26
Table of Contents
Distributors by its
lenders to the extent Supplies Distributors is unable to do so. We have also guaranteed Retail
Connects $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 three months ended March 31, 2011, three clients represented approximately 21% of our
total service fee revenue (excluding pass-through revenue) and approximately 9% of our total
consolidated revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 these three clients represented
approximately 29% of our total service fee revenue (excluding pass-through revenue) and
approximately 10% of our total consolidated revenue. The loss of any one or more 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
IPSs 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 three customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately
30% and 40% of Supplies Distributors total product revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively, (18% and 25% of our consolidated net revenues in the three month
period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively). The loss of any one or all 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 Our Stock
Our stock price could decline if a significant number of shares become available for sale.
As of March 31, 2011, we have an aggregate of 2.7 million stock options outstanding to
employees, directors and others with a weighted average exercise price of $4.45 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.
