                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Ashford.com, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, and
disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have
been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001. Results for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for any future quarter or for the year ending March 31, 2002.

Definitive Merger Agreement

     On September 14, 2001, we announced that we had entered into a definitive
merger agreement with Global Sports, Inc. whereby Global will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
upon consummation of the merger, our shareholders will receive 0.0076 of a share
of Global common stock and $0.125 cash for each share of our common stock.
Global expects to issue approximately 430,000 shares of common stock and pay
approximately $7.1 million of cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares
of our common stock. Closing of the proposed transaction is subject to the
satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including approval of our
stockholders.

     Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, which may be greater or less than the fair
value of assets and liabilities as determined by Global Sports, Inc. Following
the signing of the definitive merger agreement, we evaluated the realizability
of our long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assests to Be Disposed Of, which requires recognition of
impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets
exceeds the future estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to such
assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment as depreciation and amortization
expense of approximately $8.9 million during the quarter ended September 30,
2001.

     On February 11, 2002, Global Sports, Inc.'s registration statement on Form
S-4 concerning the definitive merger agreement was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. A special meeting of our stockholders has
been scheduled for March 14, 2002 to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt
the definitive merger agreement. Assuming the proposal is accepted by our
stockholders, we expect this transaction to be closed shortly following the
special meeting.

Liquidity

     We have suffered significant losses from operations since its inception.
Management continues to implement a strategy to significantly reduce costs and
improve operating efficiencies. We have incurred expenses in connection with our
definitive merger agreement with Global Sports, Inc. since September 14, 2001.
Further, we have incurred additional operating losses during the same period. As
a result, our liquidity position has deteriorated. Assuming that the pending
acquisition by Global Sports, Inc. is not completed, management believes that a
revised restructuring plan will be required and that the resulting cash balances
and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet anticipated needs for at least
the next twelve months. Any such plan would likely include further cost
reductions, including costs associated with personnel, further consideration of
our existing lines of business and further reductions in our investment in
inventory. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to
substantial uncertainty. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern. If current cash and cash that may be
generated from future operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity
requirements, management may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities
or to obtain additional credit facilities from lenders. There can be no
assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable

                                       6
<PAGE>

to us, if at all. Our ability to raise cash through the sales of additional
equity or convertible debt securities may be difficult depending on market
conditions and other factors, and if available could result in additional
dilution to our stockholders. In addition, management will, from time to time,
consider the acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses, products,
services and technologies, which might impact our liquidity requirements or
cause us to issue additional equity or debt securities.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Reclassification of Prior Period Balances

     Certain prior period balances have been reclassified for consistent
presentation.

Net Loss Per Share

     Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Shares associated with stock options and warrants are not
included because they are antidilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which is effective beginning April
2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions
relating to the disposal of a segment of a business of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 144
will have a material impact on our financial position.

     In July 2001, the FASB issued Statements No. 141, Business Combinations and
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requiring the nonamortization
approach to account for purchased goodwill. Under the nonamortization approach,
goodwill would be tested for impairment based on fair values, rather than
amortized to earnings. These standards are effective beginning in April 2002.
Upon adoption, these standards will not have a significant effect on our
financial statements as the related assets were expensed as of September 30,
2001.

     In July 2000, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 00-10, "Accounting for
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." This consensus requires that all amounts
billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling, if
any, represent revenue and should be classified as such. We historically have
classified shipping charges to customers as revenue. In September 2000, the EITF
concluded that the classification of shipping and handling costs should be
disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 22,
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies." If shipping and handling costs are
significant and are not included in cost of sales, companies should disclose
both the amount of such costs and which line item on the income statement
includes that amount. Shipping and handling costs cannot be netted against
sales. We classify inbound and outbound shipping costs as costs of sales. We
generally do not impose separate handling charges on customers. However, during
fiscal year 2001, we began charging for shipping costs. We began charging for
packaging costs during fiscal 2002. Costs attributable to receiving, inspecting
and warehousing inventories and picking, packaging and preparing customers'
orders for shipment are classified as marketing and sales expense and totaled
$0.7 million and $1.2 million during quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.5 million during the nine months ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     In May 2000, the EITF issued EITF 00-14 "Accounting for Certain Sales
Incentives," which provides guidance on the accounting for certain sales
incentives offered by companies to their customers such as discounts, coupons,
rebates and products or services. EITF 00-14 addresses the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification for sales incentives offered
voluntarily by a vendor without charge to customers that can be used in, or that
are exercisable by a customer as a result of a single exchange transaction. The
accompanying financial statements include the reclassification of free product
and service incentives delivered to customers at the

                                       7

time of sale, from marketing and sales expense to cost of sales, related to the
adoption of EITF 00-14. All periods presented have been reclassified for
consistent presentation.

2.   Restructuring and Related Charges

     During the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2001, in connection with
management's plan to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies, we
recorded restructuring charges of approximately $0.7 million, consisting of
approximately $0.5 million for headcount reductions and approximately $0.2
million for contract cancellations. Headcount reductions consisted of
approximately 40 employees, or about 17% of our workforce.

     During the first quarter ended June 30, 2001, we initiated a review of our
lines of business, cost structure and general activities. The objective of this
review was to identify opportunities for improved financial performance and
liquidity management. Specific initiatives resulting from this review include
reducing the scope of product offerings, decreasing our investment in inventory
and eliminating certain operating costs, including costs associated with
personnel. In connection with this review, we recorded charges of approximately
$0.5 million for headcount reductions. Headcount reductions consisted of
approximately 46 employees, or about 19% of our workforce.

     Total cash outlays during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were
approximately $0.2 million. The restructuring accrual was reduced by an
additional $0.2 million through the issuance of options to purchase our common
stock. Previously recorded allowances for contract cancellations of
approximately $0.1 million were reversed during the quarter ended June 30, 2001
upon determination that the associated cost would not be incurred.

     The restructuring accrual consists of the following:

3.   Revolving Credit Facility

     During September 2000, we executed a three-year revolving credit facility
with a maximum available credit of $25 million with Congress Financial
Corporation, a unit of First Union National Bank. The credit facility is to be
used for working capital needs and is secured by our assets. Availability under
the credit facility is determined pursuant to a borrowing base as defined in the
agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, an independent appraisal
firm completed a periodic appraisal of our inventory as required under the
revolving credit facility. This appraisal resulted in a decrease in our
borrowing base as defined in the revolving credit facility. As a result, total
availability under the credit facility was approximately $5.4 million on
December 31, 2001 ($787,000 outstanding at December 31, 2001). Amounts
outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at the prime rate or LIBOR
plus 250 basis points, as elected by us.

4.   Treasury Stock

     During May 2001, we repurchased 1,852,500 shares of our common stock for
approximately $0.9 million in connection with certain employment and consultant
agreements. Consideration for this purchase was a subscription receivable of
approximately $0.8 million and accrued interest receivable of approximately $0.1
million.

5.   Other Matters

Disposition of Online Watch Retailer

     In February 2001, we entered into a merger agreement with an online watch
retailer. In connection with the agreement, we paid an aggregate purchase price
of $2.3 million representing the assumption of liabilities and direct
acquisition costs of approximately $650,000, and 1,991,000 shares of our common
stock. The agreement further provided that we issue up to an additional
5,500,000 shares of our common stock to the online retailer upon resolution of
certain authorized dealer relationship contingencies and in connection with the
online retailer meeting certain gross profit targets as set forth in the
agreement. Further, certain key members of the online watch retailer's
management entered into separate employment agreements with us which provide for
employment for eighteen months following the merger and representation on our
board of directors. Principal assets acquired include inventory, supplier
relationships and intellectual property.

     During June 2001, as a result of certain business difficulties that arose
in the relationship with the former principals of the online watch retailer and
to resolve litigation, we began negotiating a dissolution of that relationship.
The online watch retailer agreed to a settlement whereby the online watch
retailer and certain of it's management will receive aggregate consideration of
approximately $0.8 million representing $0.2 million of inventory, $0.1 million
of severance pay and 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to settle all
potential future claims and obligations. We recorded a charge of approximately
$2.3 million in connection with this settlement during the quarter ended June
30, 2001. At December 31, 2001, all consideration with the exception of 76,655
shares of our common stock has been paid.

Outsourcing Of Online Art Operations

     In May 2001, we closed a merger agreement with an online art retailer that
was inintiated in January 2001. In connection with the agreement, we issued
approximately 7.1 million shares of our common stock and options and warrants to
purchase approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock, in exchange for
all of the fully diluted shares of the online art retailer's capital stock. The
purchase price was approximately $4.3 million, consisting of $3.3 million of our
common stock, $0.7 million of options and warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock and $0.3 million of business combination costs. The principle
assets received include $7.3 million of cash, an Internet domain name and
related trademarks and other tangible and intangible assets related to Internet
retail operations. The total value of net tangible assets acquired exceeded the
$4.3 million purchase price.

     In May 2001, we concluded that the operating cost structure of the online
art retailer was inconsistent with the level of sales activity and our overall
objectives. In June 2001, the prior management of the online art retailer made a
proposal, which we accepted, to assume the prospective operations of the online
art retailer as a separately capitalized entity. Pursuant to this agreement, we
contributed assets of approximately $0.5 million, including $0.4 million of
cash, an Internet domain name and related trademarks and other intangible assets
in return for 5% ownership interest in the new entity. In addition, we entered
into a revenue sharing agreement with the new entity whereby we will offer the
new entity's product on its Web site in return for half of the gross profit from
sales of the new entity's products generated by our Web site. We did not assume
any future operating costs or obligations. Further, substantially all the
employees previously employed by the online art retailer became employees of the
new entity or were terminated.

     Activity related to art operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
was recorded in accordance with APB No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations-
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" and EITF 85-36
"Discontinued Operations with Expected Gain and Interim Operating Losses".
Accordingly, losses from the acquisition closing date (May 3, 2001) through the
measurement date (June 13, 2001) were reflected as net loss from discontinued
operations in the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Losses from the measurement date through the separation date (July 31, 2001)
were deferred as there was reasonable assurance that a net gain on disposal will
be realized. For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, net loss on discontinued
operations included net sales commissions of approximately $125,000 and
operating expenses of approximately $792,000. For the period from the
measurement date through June 30, 2001, net losses of approximately $109,000
representing net sales commissions of approximately $53,000 and operating
expenses of $162,000 were deferred. For the quarter ended September 30, 2001,
net losses of approximately $588,000 representing net sales commissions of
approximately $159,000 and operating expenses of approximately $747,000 were
netted against gain on disposal of discontinued

                                       9
<PAGE>

operations. We recognized a net gain on disposal of discontinued operations of
approximately $1.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

Sale of Asset

     During June 2001, we sold two Internet domain names and related trademarks
related to a product information Internet site in exchange for $0.4 million
cash. The majority of the cash proceeds were received during the quarter ended
September 2001. We recorded a loss on sale of approximately $0.5 million during
the quarter ended June 2001.

6.   Supplemental Information

     The following supplemental financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and is not in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. We believe that Company performance is best evaluated on
the basis of our ability to generate positive operating cash flows from our core
retail and corporate operations. In prior periods, we have entered into certain
agreements and transactions that, we believe, make analysis of our core
operations more difficult. As such, we believe that this supplemental
information presenting the performance of our core retail and corporate
operations excluding the impact of such agreements and transactions improves the
clarity of our financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. We use this basis of presentation internally to
evaluate our financial performance. This information should not be considered as
a substitute for the historical financial information presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

     (2)  Restructuring charge, settlement loss, loss on sale of assets and net

          transactions resulting in significant headcount reductions, contract
          cancellations and disposition of certain non-core business activities.
          See further discussion at Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial

     (3)  Depreciation and amortization represent non-cash operating expenses
          primarily related to amortization of certain marketing activities,
          amortization of deferred compensation, amortization of purchased
          intangibles and depreciation of website and tangible assets.
          Generally, the transactions underlying these expenses represent the
          investment necessary establish Ashford as a meaningful luxury brand on
          the Internet and to acquire the necessary infrastructure to support
          core retail and corporate operations. We do not believe that similar
          expenditures to support the business will be necessary for the
          foreseeable future.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     The discussion in this Report contains forward-looking statements (as such
term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to,
those discussed in "Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results" as well as
those discussed in this section and elsewhere in this Report, and the risks
discussed in the "Risk Factors" section included in our most recent Form 10-K
and our Registration Statement on Form S-1 as declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 1999 (Reg. No. 333-82759).

Overview

     We were incorporated on March 6, 1998 and commenced operations and began
offering products for sale on our Web site in April 1998. We initially focused
exclusively on the sale of new and vintage watches. Since inception, we have
focused on broadening our product offerings, establishing relationships with
luxury and premium brand owners, generating sales momentum and expanding our
operational and customer service capabilities. We currently offer more than
12,000 styles of products from over 300 leading luxury brands. We are currently
focusing our efforts on continuing to increase net sales while maintaining or
decreasing current expense levels. We plan to continue the growth of our
corporate gift business, which generally generates higher margin sales and is
less seasonal in nature than our traditional retail sales, and our newer, higher
margin product categories, such as our Ashford Collection jewelry. As part of a
larger effort to improve overall operating efficiencies and lower total
operating costs as a percentage of sales, we have specifically reduced our
traditional print and media marketing activities and have focused on Internet
and online media, which we believe to be a more efficient and economical means
of attracting new customers. Other specific initiatives designed to improve
financial performance and liquidity management include reducing the scope of
product offerings, decreasing our investment in inventory and eliminating
certain operating costs, including personnel costs.

     As stated above, we plan to continue the growth of our corporate gift
business, which was introduced in March 2000. Our corporate gift business offers
over 800 products such as crystal, silver and pewter that appeal to the
corporate market. These products usually generate higher margin sales and are
less seasonal in nature than our traditional retail sales. Also, many corporate
gift products are finished with custom engraving, etching or embossing, which
further increases our margin.

     The market for luxury and premium products is highly seasonal, with a
disproportionate amount of net sales occurring during the fourth calendar
quarter. Therefore, we increase our purchases of inventory during and in advance
of that quarter. Although less significant, seasonal sales periods occur in
February due to Valentine's Day and in May and June due to graduation gift
giving, Mother's Day and Father's Day. We expect that these trends will continue
in future periods.

     Our gross margin will fluctuate in future periods based on factors such as:

 .    product sales mix;

                                       11
<PAGE>

 .    the mix of direct and indirect sources of inventory;

 .    pricing strategy;

 .    promotional activities;

 .    inventory management; and

 .    inbound and outbound shipping costs.

     We have suffered significant losses from operations since its inception.
Management continues to implement a strategy to significantly reduce costs and
improve operating efficiencies. We have incurred expenses in connection with our
definitive merger agreement with Global Sports, Inc. since September 14, 2001.
Further, we have incurred additional operating losses during the same period. As
a result, our liquidity position has deteriorated. Assuming that the pending
acquisition by Global Sports, Inc. is not completed, management believes that a
revised restructuring plan will be required and that the resulting cash balances
and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet anticipated needs for at least
the next twelve months. Any such plan would likely include further cost
reductions, including costs associated with personnel, further consideration of
our existing lines of business and further reductions in our investment in
inventory. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to
substantial uncertainty. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern. If current cash and cash that may be
generated from future operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity
requirements, management may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities
or to obtain additional credit facilities from lenders. There can be no
assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to
us, if at all. Our ability to raise cash through the sales of additional equity
or convertible debt securities may be difficult depending on market conditions
and other factors, and if available could result in additional dilution to our
stockholders. In addition, management will, from time to time, consider the
acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses, products, services and
technologies, which might impact our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue
additional equity or debt securities.

     On September 14, 2001, we announced that we had entered into a definitive
merger agreement with Global Sports, Inc. whereby Global will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
upon consummation of the merger, our shareholders will receive 0.0076 of a share
of Global common stock and $0.125 cash for each share of our common stock.
Global expects to issue approximately 430,000 shares of common stock and pay
approximately $7.1 million of cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares
of our common stock. Closing of the proposed transaction is subject to the
satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including approval of our
stockholders.

     On February 11, 2002, Global Sports, Inc.'s registration statement on Form
S-4 concerning the definitive merger agreement was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. A special meeting of our stockholders has
been scheduled for March 14, 2002 to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt
the definitive merger agreement. Assuming the proposal is accepted by our
stockholders, we expect this transaction to be closed shortly following the
special meeting.

     Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, which may be greater or less than the fair
value of assets and liabilities as determined by Global Sports, Inc. Following
the definitive merger agreement, we evaluated the realizability of our long-
lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121. As a result, we recorded an impairment as
depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $8.9 million during the
quarter ended September 30, 2001.

     The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been conducting an
investigation concerning our accounting and disclosures relating to certain
marketing activities during fiscal years 2000 and 2001. The staff has informed
us that it is considering recommending that the Securities and Exchange
Commission commence enforcement proceedings relating to the staff's
investigation in federal district court. The staff has offered us an opportunity
to provide a submission to the staff and the Securities and Exchange Commission
explaining why such a proceeding should not be initiated. Our audit committee
has completed an internal review of certain matters relating to the staff's
review and continues to monitor the investigation. We do not believe that any of
the accounting issues raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission will have
a material effect on our financial statements.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

     Net sales consist primarily of product sales and are net of product returns
and promotional discounts. Net sales decreased from $27.8 million during the
quarter ended December 31, 2000 to $14.2 million during the quarter ended
December 31, 2001, and from $52.9 million for the nine months ended December 31,
2000 to $35.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. During the
quarter ended December 31, 2001, we conducted a specific corporate sales program
that included third-party suppliers drop-shipping merchandise to the ultimate
customer on our behalf. These activities have been reported in accordance with
EITF 99-19 "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent"
whereby sales are reported as the net amount retained, that is, the amount
billed to the customer less the amount paid to the supplier. Had such activity
been reported gross, net sales would be approximately $1.3 million greater than
reported during the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in net sales
is attributed to reduced retail sales activity and was affected by reduced
marketing efforts and a general decline in retail spending specific to luxury
goods.

Cost of Sales

     Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of products sold, free product
and service incentives delivered to customers at the time of sale, inbound and
outbound shipping costs and warranty and inventory obsolescence costs. Cost of
sales decreased as net sales decreased. Gross profit decreased from $5.3 million
during the quarter ended December 31, 2000, to $4.2 million during the quarter
ended December 31, 2001. Gross profit decreased from $10.0 million during the
nine months ended December 31, 2000, to $8.1 million during the nine months
ended December 31, 2001. Gross margin increased from 19.0% during the quarter
ended December 31, 2000, to 29.8% during the quarter ended December 31, 2001,
and from 18.9% during the nine months ended December 31, 2000, to 23.0% during
the nine months ended December 31, 2001. During the quarter and nine months
ended December 31, 2001, the increase in gross margin is principally due to our
higher margin corporate business representing a greater proportion of sales
during the current period compared to the corresponding prior year period, the
reporting of certain sales net instead of gross in accordance with EITF 99-19
"Reporting Revenue Gross as a principal versus Net as an Agent" during the
quarter ended December 31, 2001, a reduction in certain expenses such as
outbound shipping costs that are now paid by the customer on most orders, a
reduction in the amount of free product and service incentives offered and
growth of our higher-margin product categories such as Ashford Collection
jewelry and home and lifestyle products. These factors that contributed to the
increase in gross margin were partially offset by low margin sales activities
intended to reduce our product assortment and our overall inventory investment.
Such low margin sales were more significant during the six months ended
September 30, 2001 than the quarter ended December 31, 2001. In addition, we
recorded a charge of $0.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2001, to
allow for estimated future losses in connection with our continuing effort to
reduce our investment in merchandise inventory.

Operating Expenses

     Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of
advertising costs, credit card fees, fulfillment activities and related employee
salary and benefit expenses, and amortization of related deferred compensation.
Fulfillment activities include receiving of goods, picking of goods, and
packaging of goods for shipment. Marketing and sales expenses decreased from
approximately $34.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 to $2.0
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Marketing and sales decreased
from approximately $100.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2000
to $6.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in
marketing and sales is attributable to a decrease in amortization to $0.1
million from $26.0 million during the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively, and to $0.7 million from $79.7 million during
the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.
This amortization is primarily related to a marketing contract entered into with
another online retailer during the latter part of fiscal 2000 that expired in
fiscal 2001. Excluding amortization, the decrease in marketing and sales is
primarily attributable to a reduction in traditional print and media marketing
activities and implementation of new and modified agreements with Internet and
online media providers at improved advertising rates or with pay-for-performance
provisions. During fiscal 2001, we shifted our primary marketing focus from
traditional print and broadcast media to Internet and online media. We believe
Internet and online media provides a more efficient and economical means of
attracting new customers. Our advertising and promotional expenditures are
generally intended to build brand awareness, generate site traffic and increase
overall sales.

                                       13
<PAGE>

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses include
executive, finance and administrative employee salaries and benefits,
amortization of related deferred compensation, professional fees, Web site
maintenance, office lease expenses and other general corporate expenses. General
and administrative expenses decreased to $5.0 million during the quarter ended
December 31, 2001 compared to $7.4 million during the quarter ended December 31,
2000. General and administrative expenses decreased to $14.8 million during the
nine months ended December 31, 2001 from $20.9 million during the nine months
ended December 31, 2000. Our general and administrative expenses have decreased
primarily due to costs associated with decreased headcount as a result of our
restructuring activities during January 2001 and May 2001 and decreased
amortization of related deferred compensation. See further discussion of fiscal
2002 restructuring activities at "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
includes depreciation related to property and equipment and amortization related
to purchased intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense was $0
during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $3.9 million during the
quarter ended December 31, 2000. Depreciation and amortization was $16.2 million
during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $9.6 million during
the nine months ended December 31, 2000. Following the signing of our definitive
merger agreement with Global Sports, Inc., we evaluated the realizability of our
long-lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121. As a result, we recorded an
impairment as depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $8.9
million during the quarter ended September 30, 2001.

     Interest Income (Expense), Net. Net interest expense totaled $116,000
during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to net interest income of
$240,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Net interest expense
totaled $196,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to net
interest income of $1.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2000.
The overall decrease during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001
compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year is due to lower cash
balances during the quarter and our borrowings on our revolving credit facility
entered into September 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     General. We have financed our operations primarily through private sales of
convertible preferred stock, an initial public offering and the private sale of
our common stock. The proceeds from these offerings have been used primarily to
fund our operations, including inventory purchases, marketing and advertising
campaigns, employee salaries and equipment purchases.

     Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $10.4
million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $24.0 million
during the nine months ended December 31, 2000. Our operating cash outflow
during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 was primarily the result of
operating losses, exclusive of non-cash items including depreciation and
amortization, restructuring charge, settlement loss, loss on sale of assets and
net gain on disposal of segment and decreases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. These uses of cash were partially offset by a decrease in our
investment in merchandise inventory. Our net cash outflow during the nine months
ended December 31, 2000 was primarily the result of operating losses exclusive
of depreciation and amortization and an increase in our investment in
merchandise inventory. These uses of cash were partially offset by increases in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

     Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled
$7.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $9.6
million used in investing activities during the nine months ended December 31,
2000. Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended
December 31, 2001 primarily consisted of $7.3 million related to a merger with
an online art retailer. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine
months ended December 31, 2000 consisted of $5.9 million related to property and
equipment purchases primarily associated with technology and Web site
enhancements and $2.1 million related to Internet domain and other intangible
asset purchases.

     Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $3.9
million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $31,000
provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2000.
Financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 related to a
net reduction in the amount borrowed from our revolving credit facility. Also, a
Director advanced us $230,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2001. This
amount was repaid during the same period. Financing activities during the nine
months ended December 31, 2000 related to cash received from the exercise of
employee stock options and

                                       14
<PAGE>

the sale of stock in connection with our employee stock purchase plan net of
amounts paid for loan acquisition costs to establish our revolving credit
facility.

     Commitments. As of December 31, 2001, our principal commitments consisted
of obligations outstanding under non-cancelable operating leases. We have no
material commitments for capital expenditures.

     Credit Facility. During September 2000, we executed a three-year revolving
credit facility with a maximum available credit of $25 million with Congress
Financial Corporation, a unit of First Union National Bank. The credit facility
is to be used for working capital needs and is secured by our assets.
Availability under the credit facility is determined pursuant to a borrowing
base as defined in the agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001,
an independent appraisal firm completed a periodic appraisal of our inventory as
required under the revolving credit facility. This appraisal resulted in a
decrease in our borrowing base as defined in the revolving credit facility. As a
result, total availability under the credit facility was approximately $5.4
million on December 31, 2001 ($787,000 outstanding at December 31, 2001.)
Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at the prime rate or
LIBOR plus 250 basis points, as elected by us.

     Restructuring and Other Matters. During the fourth quarter ended March 31,
2001, in connection with management's plan to reduce costs and improve operating
efficiencies, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $0.7 million,
consisting of approximately $0.5 million for headcount reductions and
approximately $0.2 million for contract cancellations. Headcount reductions
consisted of approximately 40 employees, or about 17% of our workforce.

     During the first quarter ended June 30, 2001, we initiated a review of our
lines of business, cost structure and general activities. The objective of this
review was to identify opportunities for improved financial performance and
liquidity management. Specific initiatives resulting from this review include
reducing the scope of product offerings, decreasing our investment in inventory
and eliminating certain operating costs, including costs associated with
personnel. In connection with this review, we recorded charges of approximately
$0.5 million for headcount reductions. Headcount reductions consisted of
approximately 46 employees, or about 19% of our workforce.

     Total cash outlays during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were
approximately $0.2 million. The restructuring accrual was reduced by an
additional $0.2 million through the issuance of options to purchase our common
stock. Previously recorded allowances for contract cancellations of
approximately $0.1 million were reversed during the quarter ended June 30, 2001
upon determination that the associated cost would not be incurred.

     During June 2001, as a result of certain business difficulties that arose
in the relationship with the former principals of the online watch retailer and
to resolve litigation, we began negotiating a dissolution of that relationship.
The online watch retailer agreed to a settlement whereby the online watch
retailer and certain of it's management will receive aggregate consideration of
approximately $0.8 million representing $0.2 million of inventory, $0.1 million
of severance pay and 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to settle all
potential future claims and obligations. We recorded a charge of approximately
$2.3 million in connection with this settlement during the quarter ended June
30, 2001. At December 31, 2001, all consideration with the exception of 76,655
shares of our common stock has been paid.

     In May 2001, we closed a merger agreement with an online art retailer that
was initiated in January 2001. In connection with the agreement, we issued
approximately 7.1 million shares of our common stock and options and warrants to
purchase approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock, in exchange for
all of the fully diluted shares of the online art retailer's capital stock. The
purchase price was approximately $4.3 million, consisting of $3.3 million of our
common stock, $0.7 million of options and warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock and $0.3 million of business combination costs. The principle
assets received include $7.3 million of cash, an Internet domain name and
related trademarks and other tangible and intangible assets related to Internet
retail operations. The total value of net tangible assets acquired exceeded the
$4.3 million purchase price.

     In May 2001, we concluded that the operating cost structure of the online
art retailer was inconsistent with the level of sales activity and our overall
objectives.  In June 2001, the prior management of the online art retailer made
a proposal, which we accepted, to assume the prospective operations of the
online art retailer as a separately capitalized entity.  Pursuant to this
agreement, we contributed assets of approximately $0.5 million, including $0.4
million of cash, an Internet domain name and related trademarks and other
intangible assets in return for 5% ownership interest in the new entity.  In
addition, we entered into a revenue sharing agreement with the new entity
whereby we will offer the new entity's product on its Web site in return for
half of the gross profit from sales of the

                                       15
<PAGE>

new entity's products generated by our Web site. We did not assume any future
operating costs or obligations. Further, substantially all the employees
previously employed by the online art retailer became employees of the new
entity or were terminated.

     Activity related to art operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
was recorded in accordance with APB No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations-
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" and EITF 85-36
"Discontinued Operations with Expected Gain and Interim Operating Losses".
Accordingly, losses from the acquisition closing date (May 3, 2001) through the
measurement date (June 13, 2001) were reflected as net loss from discontinued
operations in the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Losses from the measurement date through the separation date (July 31, 2001)
were deferred, as there was reasonable assurance that a net gain on disposal
will be realized. For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, net loss on discontinued
operations included net sales commissions of approximately $125,000 and
operating expenses of approximately $792,000. For the period from the
measurement date through June 30, 2001, net losses of approximately $109,000
representing net sales commissions of approximately $53,000 and operating
expenses of $162,000 were deferred. For the quarter ended September 30, 2001,
net losses of approximately $588,000 representing net sales commissions of
approximately $159,000 and operating expenses of approximately $747,000 were
netted against gain on disposal of discontinued operations. We recognized a net
gain from disposal of segment of approximately $1.8 million during the quarter
ended September 30, 2001.

     During June 2001, we sold two Internet domain names and related trademarks
related to a product information Internet site in exchange for $0.4 million
cash. The majority of the cash proceeds were received during the quarter ended
September 2001. We recorded a loss on sale of approximately $0.5 million during
the quarter ended June 2001.

     Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, which may be greater or less than the fair
value of assets and liabilities as determined by Global Sports, Inc. Following
the definitive merger agreement, we evaluated the realizability of our long-
lived assets pursuant to SFAS No. 121. As a result, we recorded an impairment as
depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $8.9 million during the
quarter ended September 30, 2001.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which is effective beginning April
2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions
relating to the disposal of a segment of a business of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 144
will have a material impact on our financial position.

     In July 2001, the FASB issued Statements No. 141, Business Combinations and
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requiring the nonamortization
approach to account for purchased goodwill. Under the nonamortization approach,
goodwill would be tested for impairment based on fair values, rather than
amortized to earnings. These standards are effective beginning in April 2002.
Upon adoption, these standards will not have a significant effect on our
financial statements as the related assets were expensed as of September 30,
2001.

     In July 2000, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 00-10, "Accounting for
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." This consensus requires that all amounts
billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling, if
any, represent revenue and should be classified as such. We historically have
classified shipping charges to customers as revenue. In September 2000, the EITF
concluded that the classification of shipping and handling costs should be
disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 22,
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies." If shipping and handling costs are
significant and are not included in cost of sales, companies should disclose
both the amount of such costs and which line item on the income statement
includes that amount. Shipping and handling costs cannot be netted against
sales. We classify inbound and outbound shipping costs as costs of sales. We
generally do not impose separate handling charges on customers. However, during
fiscal year 2001, we began charging for shipping costs. We began charging for
packaging costs during fiscal 2002. Costs attributable to receiving, inspecting
and warehousing inventories and picking, packaging and preparing customers'
orders for shipment are classified as marketing and sales expense and totaled
$0.7 million and $1.2 million during

                                       16
<PAGE>

quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $1.9 million and
$2.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

     In May 2000, the EITF issued EITF 00-14 "Accounting for Certain Sales
Incentives," which provides guidance on the accounting for certain sales
incentives offered by companies to their customers such as discounts, coupons,
rebates and products or services. EITF 00-14 addresses the recognition,
measurement and income statement classification for sales incentives offered
voluntarily by a vendor without charge to customers that can be used in, or that
are exercisable by a customer as a result of a single exchange transaction. The
accompanying financial statements include the reclassification of free product
and service incentives delivered to customers at the time of sale, from
marketing and sales expense to cost of sales, related to the adoption of EITF
00-14. All periods presented have been reclassified for consistent presentation.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     We have assessed our vulnerability to certain market risks, including
interest rate risk associated with financial instruments included in cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments. Due to the short-term nature of these
investments and our investment policies and procedures, we have determined that
the risk associated with interest rate fluctuations related to these financial
instruments does not pose a material risk to us.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     The following risk factors and other information included in this Report
should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are
not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business
operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely
affected.

Risks Related to Our Business

We May Be Unable to Meet Our Future Capital Requirements.

     We have suffered significant losses from operations since its inception.
Management continues to implement a strategy to significantly reduce costs and
improve operating efficiencies. We have incurred expenses in connection with our
definitive merger agreement with Global Sports, Inc. since September 14, 2001.
Further, we have incurred additional operating losses during the same period. As
a result, our liquidity position has deteriorated. Assuming that the pending
acquisition by Global Sports, Inc. is not completed, management believes that a
revised restructuring plan will be required and that the resulting cash balances
and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet anticipated needs for at least
the next twelve months. Any such plan would likely include further cost
reductions, including costs associated with personnel, further consideration of
our existing lines of business and further reductions in our investment in
inventory. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to
substantial uncertainty. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern.

     If our current cash and cash that may be generated from future operations
are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell
additional equity or debt securities or to obtain additional credit facilities
from lenders. We cannot be certain that financing will be available to us on
favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise funds through the issuance
of equity, equity-related or debt securities, the securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock and
our stockholders may experience dilution. We require substantial working capital
to fund our business. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash
flow from operations and expect to experience negative cash flow from operations
in the future. In addition, our public accountants have issued a going concern
opinion. We have sufficient funds for our anticipated needs for working capital
and capital expenditures through at least the next 12 months. After that, we may
need to raise additional funds.

Our Limited Operating History Makes Future Forecasting Difficult. Because Most
of our Expenses Are Fixed Based on Planned Operating Results, Failure to
Accurately Forecast Revenue Could Cause Net Losses in a Given Quarter to be
Greater than Expected.

     We were incorporated in March 1998 and began selling products on our Web
site in April 1998. Accordingly, we have an extremely limited operating history
upon which to base an evaluation of our business and

                                       17
<PAGE>

prospects. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early
stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets
such as online commerce. As a result of our limited operating history, it is
difficult to accurately forecast our net sales and we have limited meaningful
historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. We base
our current and future expense levels on our operating plans and estimates of
future net sales, and our expenses are to a large extent fixed. Sales and
operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on the
volume and timing of the orders we receive, which is uncertain. As a result, we
may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any
unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause our net losses in a
given quarter to be greater than expected.

We Anticipate Future Losses and Negative Cash Flow, which May Limit or Delay Our
Ability to Become Profitable.

     Since our formation, we have made significant expenditures on our
technology, Web site development, advertising, hiring of personnel and startup
costs. As a result, we have incurred losses since our inception and expect to
experience negative cash flow during future periods. We expect to incur
additional costs and expenses related to:

 .    brand development, marketing and other promotional activities;

 .    the continued maintenance and development of our Web site, the systems and
     staff that process customer orders and payments, and our computer network;

 .    the expansion of our product offerings and Web site content; and

 .    development of relationships with strategic business partners.

     Our ability to become profitable depends on our ability to generate and
sustain substantially higher net sales while maintaining reasonable expense
levels, both of which are uncertain. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot
be certain that we would be able to sustain or increase profitability on a
quarterly or annual basis in the future. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Our Operating Results are Volatile and Difficult to Predict. If We Fail to Meet
the Expectations of Public Market Analysts and Investors, the Market Price of
Our Common Stock May Decline Significantly.

     Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past, and we expect
both our quarterly and annual operating results to fluctuate significantly in
the future. Because our operating results are volatile and difficult to predict,
we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not
a good indication of our future performance. In some future quarter our
operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock may decline
significantly. The following are material factors that may harm our business or
cause our operating results to fluctuate:

 .    general economic conditions

 .    our inability to obtain new customers at reasonable cost, retain existing
     customers or encourage repeat purchases;

 .    seasonality;

 .    our inability to manage inventory levels or control inventory theft;

 .    our inability to manage our fulfillment operations;

 .    our inability to adequately maintain, upgrade and develop our Web site, the
     systems that we use to process customer orders and payments or our computer
     network;

 .    the ability of our competitors to offer new or enhanced Web sites,
     services or products;

 .    our inability to obtain product lines from our suppliers;

                                       18
<PAGE>

 .    the availability and pricing of merchandise from vendors; and

 .    increases in the cost of online or offline advertising.

     A number of factors will cause our gross margins to fluctuate in future
periods, including the mix of corporate sales to traditional retail sales, the
mix of products we sell, inventory management, marketing and supply decisions,
inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs, the level of product returns
and the level of discount pricing and promotional coupon usage. Any change in
one or more of these factors could reduce our gross margins in future periods.
In addition, our operating results depend on the overall demand for our
products, which in turn depends on general economic and business conditions. The
nature and extent of the effect of the current economic climate on our ability
to sell our products is uncertain. A softening of demand for our products caused
by weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenues. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to effectively promote revenue growth rates in
all economic conditions. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

Our Common Stock May be Delisted from the Nasdaq National Market.

     On April 9, 2001, we received notice from Nasdaq that our common stock had
failed to maintain Nasdaq's minimum bid price closing requirement of $1.00 and
that such failure had continued beyond the ninety (90) day probationary period
allowed under the Nasdaq National Marketplace Rules. The letter specified that,
as a result of our failure to maintain the minimum bid price closing
requirement, our common stock would be delisted at the close of business on July
18, 2001. However, we appealed the decision, and the delisting was stayed
pending a hearing before the Nasdaq Qualifications Panel.

     On September 11, 2001, we received notice from Nasdaq that we did not
comply with the market value of the public float requirement set forth in the
Nasdaq National Marketplace Rules.

     On September 27, 2001, Nasdaq announced that in response to the
extraordinary market conditions following the events of September 11, 2001,
Nasdaq was implementing a moratorium on the minimum bid and float requirements
for continued listing on Nasdaq. These requirements were suspended until January
2, 2002.

     On August 27, 2001, we held our annual meeting, in which our stockholders
approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split that was to be implemented on October
15, 2001. As the meeting was held prior to the moratorium announced by Nasdaq,
we believed that the reverse stock split was the most effective means to avoid a
delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq.

     Our board of directors has delayed implementing the reverse stock split
because of the proposed merger and Nasdaq's suspension of the listing
requirements. If the merger does not occur and our common stock continues to
trade on the Nasdaq National Market, we may have to implement the reverse stock
split in order to comply with the Nasdaq National Market rules.

     We cannot predict whether the reverse stock split, if ultimately
implemented, would increase the market price for our common stock. The history
of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is
varied. There is no assurance that the market price per share of our common
stock following the reverse stock split would either exceed or remain in excess
of the $1.00 minimum bid price as required by Nasdaq or that we will otherwise
meet the requirements of Nasdaq for continued inclusion for trading on Nasdaq. A
reverse stock split could negatively impact the value of our stock by allowing
additional downward pressure on the stock price as its relative value per share
becomes greater following the reverse split. That is to say, the stock, at its
new, higher price, has farther to fall and therefore more room for investors to
short or otherwise trade the value of the stock downward. Similarly, a delisting
may negatively impact the value of the stock as stocks trading on the over-the-
counter market are typically less liquid and trade with larger variations
between the bid and ask price.

     The market price of our common stock will also be based on our performance
and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares
outstanding. If the reverse stock split is effected and the market price of our
common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a
percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur
in the absence of a reverse stock split. Furthermore, liquidity of our common
stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be
outstanding after the reverse stock split.

Failure to Complete the Merger Could Adversely Affect Our Stock Price, Future
Business and Operations.

     If the merger with Global Sports, Inc. is not completed for any reason, we
may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

 .    the price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market
     price prior to such termination reflects a market assumption that the
     merger will be completed;

 .    costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting and financial
     advisor fees, must be paid even if the merger is not completed; and

 .    we may be required under certain circumstances to pay Global Sports, Inc.
     a termination fee of $750,000, plus expenses.

     Further, if the merger were terminated and our board of directors sought
another merger or business combination, there would be no assurance that it
would be able to find a partner willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive
price than the price Global Sports, Inc. is offering in the merger. In addition,
while the merger agreement is in effect, subject to very narrowly defined
exceptions, we are prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or
entering into transactions such as a merger, sale of assets or other business
combination with any other party other than Global Sports, Inc.

     Global Sports' or our partners, vendors, suppliers, including key brand
manufacturers, or customers, in response to the announcement or pendency of the
merger, may delay or defer decisions concerning the relevant company. Any delay
or deferral of those decisions by partners, vendors, suppliers or customers, or
a decision by any of these parties to discontinue its relationship with us or
Global Sports, Inc., could have a material adverse effect on the business of the
relevant company. Similarly, current and prospective Global Sports, Inc. or our
employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Global
Sports, Inc. until Global Sports' plans with regard to us are announced or fully
executed. For example, we and Global Sports, Inc. have discussed terminating a
significant number of our employees in certain functional areas if the merger is
completed. This may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key
employees.

We Expect to Experience Seasonal Fluctuations in Our Net Sales, which Will Cause
Our Quarterly Results to Fluctuate and Could Cause Our Annual Results to be
Below Expectations.

     We expect to experience significant seasonal fluctuations in our net sales
that will cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results. In particular,
we realized approximately 40%, 50% and 40% of our net sales for fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively, during the fourth calendar quarter, primarily due
to gift purchases made during the holiday season. We expect this trend to
continue in the future.

     Due to our limited operating history, it is difficult to predict the
seasonal pattern of our sales and the impact of seasonality on our business and
financial results. In the future, our seasonal sales patterns may become more
pronounced, may strain our personnel and warehousing and order shipment
activities and may cause a shortfall in net sales as compared to expenses in a
given period. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."

If We Are Unable to Purchase or Continue to Purchase Products Directly from the
Brand Owners, Our Net Sales Could Decrease.

     A significant portion of our units sold is purchased directly from the
brand owners. We are negotiating with some of the remaining brand owners to
purchase those brands directly, in all product categories. We believe that
purchasing directly from the brand owners will provide us with a more
predictable supply of products, as well as a lower cost of goods. As a result,
we believe that part of our success is contingent on attaining or maintaining
our ability to buy directly from the brand owners. If we lose or do not improve
our ability to buy directly from the brand owners, our net sales or margins may
decrease.

                                       20
<PAGE>

Our Ability to Meet Consumer Demand is in Part Dependent upon the Availability
of Products Purchased Indirectly from Sources Other than the Brand Owners. If We
Are Unable to Obtain Popular Products Through Indirect Sources, Our Net Sales
Will Decline.

     We purchase brands indirectly from distributors and other third parties
that we do not purchase directly from the brand owners. The availability of
products purchased indirectly depends on many factors, including consumer
demand, manufacturer production and fashion trends. Since there are no
guarantees that we will be able to obtain a sufficient supply of products
indirectly from third-party distributors and other suppliers, customer demand
may, at times, exceed our supply of those products. If this occurs we could lose
customers and our net sales would decline. In addition, the luxury goods brand
owners could establish procedures to limit or control our ability to purchase
products indirectly and several brand owners in the U.S. have distinctive legal
rights rendering them the only legal importer of their respective brands into
the U.S. In the event we acquire such products indirectly from distributors and
other third parties who may not have complied with applicable customs laws and
regulations, such goods can be subject to seizure from our inventory by U.S.
Customs, and the importer may have a civil action for damages against us. As it
is often difficult to ascertain the original circumstances of importation of
certain goods offered to us by our distributors and other third parties, this
could impact our ability to obtain sufficient quantities of popular luxury
goods, such as watches, and cause customer dissatisfaction.

If We Are Unable to Obtain Sufficient Quantities of Popular Luxury and Premium
Products, Our Net Sales Could Decrease.

     If we are not able to offer our customers a sufficient supply and selection
of products in a timely manner, we could lose customers and our net sales could
be below expectations. Our success depends on our ability to purchase products
in sufficient quantities at competitive prices, particularly for the holiday
shopping season. As is common in the industry, we generally do not have long-
term or exclusive arrangements with brand owners, distributors or brokers that
guarantee the availability of products for resale.

     In the luxury goods market, a product or fashion style periodically becomes
intensely popular. From time to time, we may have trouble obtaining sufficient
product allocations of particularly popular brands. In addition, we believe that
some of our suppliers may establish their own online retailing efforts, which
may impact our ability to get sufficient product allocations from suppliers. In
several cases, the brands that we wish to carry have delayed establishing a
relationship with us until they have their own Web site up and running. In other
cases, the brand owners distribute only a small amount of product and rely
partially on the scarcity of that product to provide a merchandising mystique.
It is unlikely that we will obtain products for our Web site from brands who
follow the scarcity mystique, and there is no assurance that we will actually
obtain relationships within all sectors that we have planned to offer.
Therefore, we do not have a predictable or guaranteed supply of products.

Because We Carry Almost All of the Products We Sell in Inventory, if We are
Unable to Accurately Predict and Plan for Changes in Consumer Demand Our Net
Sales and Gross Margins May Decrease.

     At December 31, 2001, we held approximately $16.5 million of products in
inventory. The rapidly changing trends in consumer tastes in the market for
luxury and premium products subject us to significant inventory risks. It is
critical to our success that we accurately predict these trends and do not
overstock unpopular products. The demand for specific products can change
between the time the products are ordered and the date of receipt. We are
particularly exposed to this risk because we derive a majority of our net sales
in the fourth calendar quarter of each year. Our failure to sufficiently stock
popular products in advance of the fourth calendar quarter would harm our
operating results for the entire fiscal year. In the event that one or more
products do not achieve widespread consumer acceptance, we may be required to
take significant inventory markdowns, which could reduce our net sales and gross
margins. This risk may be greatest in the first calendar quarter of each year,
after we have significantly increased inventory levels for the holiday season.
We believe that this risk will increase as we begin to offer additional luxury
items due to our lack of experience in purchasing these items. In addition, to
the extent that demand for our products increases over time, we may be forced to
increase inventory levels. Any increase would subject us to additional inventory
risks.

If We Experience Significant Inventory Theft, Our Gross Profit Margin Would
Decrease.

     Although immaterial to date, in the past we have experienced theft of
merchandise shipments in route from our facility to our customers. In the
future, we expect that we may also experience theft of merchandise while it is

                                       21
<PAGE>

being held in our fulfillment facility. We have worked with our shipping
carriers and have taken steps aimed at preventing theft. If these steps are
inadequate or if security measures fail at our fulfillment facility, we could
incur significant inventory theft, which could cause gross profit margins and
results of operations to decrease significantly.

Sales of Luxury Goods Are Particularly Susceptible to General Economic
Downturns. If General Economic Conditions Deteriorate, Our Sales Could Suffer.

     Purchases of luxury products are typically discretionary for consumers and
may be particularly affected by negative trends in the general economy. The
success of our operations depends to a significant extent on a number of factors
relating to discretionary consumer spending and affecting disposable consumer
income, such as employment, wages and salaries, business conditions, interest
rates, exchange rates, availability of credit and taxation. In addition, because
the purchase of luxury products is relatively discretionary, any reduction in
disposable income in general may affect us more significantly than companies in
other industries.

To Manage Our Growth and Expansion, We Need to Improve and Implement Financial
and Managerial Controls and Improve Our Reporting Systems and Procedures. If We
Are Unable to Do So Successfully, We May Not Be Able to Manage Growth
Effectively and Our Operating Results Would Be Harmed.

     Our growth in personnel and operations has placed, and will continue to
place, a significant strain on our management, information systems and
resources. In order to manage this growth effectively, we need to continue to
improve our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and
procedures. Any inability of our management to integrate additional companies,
employees, customer databases, merchandise lines, categories of merchandise,
technology advances, fulfillment systems, and customer service into operations
and to eliminate unnecessary duplication may have a materially adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If We Are Unable to Successfully Expand Our Accounting and Financial Reporting
Systems, Our Stock Price Could Decline.

     We continue to expand our financial and management information systems to
accommodate new data. If we fail to successfully implement and integrate our new
financial reporting and management information systems with our existing systems
or if we are not able to expand these systems to accommodate our growth, we may
not have adequate, accurate or timely financial information. Our failure to have
adequate, accurate or timely financial information would hinder our ability to
manage our business and operating results. If we continue to grow rapidly, we
will face additional challenges in upgrading and maintaining our financial and
reporting systems.

We May Not Be Able to Compete Successfully Against Current and Future
Competitors.

     We expect competition in the online sale of luxury and premium products to
intensify in the future. Increased competition is likely to result in price
pressure, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could
seriously harm our net sales and operating results. In addition, the luxury
goods industry is intensely competitive. We currently or potentially compete
with a variety of other companies, including:

 .    traditional retailers of luxury and premium products;

 .    brand owners of the products we sell;

 .    other online retailers of luxury and premium products; and

 .    catalog retailers.

     Many of our competitors have advantages over us including longer operating
histories, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, sales
and marketing and other resources. In addition, traditional store-based
retailers offer customers benefits that are not obtainable over the Internet,
such as enabling customers to physically inspect a product before purchase and
not incurring costs associated with maintaining a Web site.

                                       22

If We Are Unable to Build Awareness of the Ashford.com Brand, We May Not Be Able
to Compete Effectively Against Competitors with Greater Name Recognition and Our
Sales Could Be Adversely Affected.

     If we are unable to economically achieve or maintain a leading position in
online commerce or to promote and maintain our brand, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could suffer. We believe that the importance
of brand recognition will increase as more companies engage in commerce over the
Internet. Development and awareness of our brand will depend largely on our
success in increasing our customer base. If the leading brand owners do not
perceive us as an effective marketing and sales channel for their merchandise,
or consumers do not perceive us as offering a desirable way to purchase
merchandise, we may be unsuccessful in promoting and maintaining our brand.

If We Enter New Business Categories That Do Not Achieve Market Acceptance, Our
Brand and Reputation Could Be Damaged and We Could Fail to Attract New
Customers.

     If we launch or acquire a new department or product category that is not
favorably received by consumers, our brand or reputation could be damaged. This
damage could impair our ability to attract new customers, which could cause our
net sales to fall below expectations. An expansion of our business to include
other luxury goods will require significant additional expenses, and strain our
management, financial and operational resources. This type of expansion would
also subject us to increased inventory risk. We may choose to expand our
operations by developing other new departments or product categories, promoting
new or complementary products, expanding the breadth and depth of products and
services offered or expanding our market presence through relationships with
third parties. In addition, we may pursue the acquisition of other new or
complementary businesses, products or technologies.

If Our Strategy to Sell Products Outside of the United States is Not Successful,
Our Increases in Operating Expenses May Not Be Offset by Increased Sales.

     If we are not able to successfully market, sell and distribute our products
in foreign markets or if certain risks and uncertainties of doing business in
foreign markets prove insurmountable then these factors could have a material
adverse effect on our future global operations, and consequently, on our
operating margins. We do not currently have any overseas fulfillment or
distribution facility or arrangement or any Web site content localized for
foreign markets, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to establish a
global presence. In addition, there are certain risks inherent in doing business
on a global level, including:

 .    regulatory requirements;

 .    export restrictions;

 .    tariffs and other trade barriers;

 .    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

 .    difficulties in protecting intellectual property rights;

 .    longer payment cycles;

 .    problems in collecting accounts receivable;

 .    political instability;

 .    fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

 .    potentially adverse tax consequences.

If We Experience Problems with Our Third-Party Shipping Services, We Could Lose
Customers.

     We rely upon third-party carriers, primarily Federal Express and UPS, for
product shipments, including shipments to and from our warehouse. We are
therefore subject to the risks, including employee strikes and

                                       23
<PAGE>

inclement weather, associated with these carriers' ability to provide delivery
services to meet our shipping needs. In addition, failure to deliver products to
our customers in a timely manner would damage our reputation and brand.

Our Operating Results Depend on Our Internally Developed Web Site, Network
Infrastructure and Transaction-Processing Systems. If We Do Not Successfully
Maintain Our Web Site and the Systems That Process Customer Orders, We Could
Lose Customers and Net Sales Could be Reduced.

     The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our Web site,
transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure are critical to our
operating results, as well as to our ability to attract and retain customers and
maintain adequate customer service levels. Any system interruptions that result
in the unavailability of our Web site or reduced performance of the transaction
systems would reduce the volume of sales and the attractiveness of our service
offerings. This would seriously harm our business, operating results and
financial condition.

     We use internally developed systems for our Web site and substantially all
aspects of transaction processing, including customer profiling and order
verifications. We have experienced periodic systems interruptions due to server
failure, which we believe will continue to occur from time to time. If the
volume of traffic on our Web site or the number of purchases made by customers
increases by more than two times our current holiday sales levels, we will need
to further expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and
network infrastructure. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience
temporary capacity constraints due to sharply increased traffic during sales or
other promotions, which cause unanticipated system disruptions, slower response
times, degradation in levels of customer service, impaired quality and delays in
reporting accurate financial information.

     If we fail to maintain our Web site or toll-free call center in order to
accommodate increased traffic, we may lose customers, which would reduce our net
sales. Furthermore, if we fail to maintain the computer systems that we use to
process and ship customer orders and process payments, we may not be able to
successfully fulfill customer orders. As a result, we could lose customers and
our net sales could be reduced. In addition, our failure to maintain or upgrade
our Web site or these computer systems without system downtime would further
reduce our net sales. We may experience difficulty in improving and maintaining
our systems if our employees or contractors that develop or maintain our
computer systems become unavailable to us. We have experienced periodic systems
interruptions, which we believe will continue to occur, while enhancing and
expanding these computer systems.

Our Facilities and Systems are Vulnerable to Natural Disasters and Other
Unexpected Problems. The Occurrence of a Natural Disaster or Other Unexpected
Problem Could Damage Our Reputation and Brand and Reduce Our Net Sales.

     The occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems at our
leased or offsite hosting facilities that house substantially all of our
computer and communications hardware systems could cause interruptions or delays
in our business, destroy data or render us unable to accept and fulfill customer
orders. Any of these interruptions or delays at these facilities would reduce
our net sales. In addition, our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage
or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-
ins, earthquake and similar events. We have not established specific procedures
for handling damage or interruptions caused by these events and our business
interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses that may
occur. In addition, the failure by the third-party facility to provide the data
communications capacity required by us, as a result of human error, natural
disaster or other operational disruptions, could interrupt our service. The
occurrence of any or all of these events could damage our reputation and brand
and impair our business.

Our Net Sales Could Decrease if Our Online Security Measures Fail.

     Our relationships with our customers may be adversely affected if the
security measures that we use to protect their personal information, such as
credit card numbers, are ineffective. If, as a result, we lose many customers,
our net sales could decrease. We rely on security and authentication technology
that we license from third parties. With this technology, we perform real-time
credit card authorization and verification with our bank. We cannot predict
whether events or developments will result in a compromise or breach of the
technology we use to protect a customer's personal information. Furthermore, our
servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins
and similar disruptions. We may need to expend significant additional capital
and other resources to protect against a security breach or to alleviate
problems caused by any breaches. We cannot assure that we can prevent all
security breaches.

                                       24
<PAGE>

Our Net Sales and Gross Margins Would Decrease If We Experience Significant
Credit Card Fraud.

     A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions would
reduce our net sales and our gross margins because we do not carry insurance
against this risk. We have developed procedures to help us to detect the
fraudulent use of credit card information. Under current credit card practices,
we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions because we do not obtain a
cardholder's signature.

If We Do Not Respond to Rapid Technological Changes, Our Services Could Become
Obsolete and We Could Lose Customers.

     If we face material delays in introducing new services, products and
enhancements, our customers may forego the use of our services and use those of
our competitors. To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve
the functionality and features of our online store. The Internet and the online
commerce industry are rapidly changing. If competitors introduce new products
and services, or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing
Web site and proprietary technology and systems may become obsolete. To develop
our Web site and technology entails significant technical and business risks. We
may use new technologies ineffectively or we may fail to adapt our technology to
meet customer requirements or emerging industry standards.

Intellectual Property Claims Against Us Can Be Costly and Could Impair Our
Business.

     Other parties may assert infringement or unfair competition claims against
us. We cannot predict whether they will do so, or whether any future assertions
or prosecutions will harm our business. If we are forced to defend against any
infringement claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in
our favor, then we may face costly litigation, diversion of technical and
management personnel, or product shipment delays. Further, the outcome of a
dispute may be that we would need to develop non-infringing technology or enter
into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if
required, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

If the Protection of Our Trademarks and Proprietary Rights is Inadequate, Our
Brand and Reputation Could Be Impaired and We Could Lose Customers.

     The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate. We
regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets and
similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on trademark
and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license
agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our
proprietary rights. We currently have applications for registration in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, as well as various foreign trademark
offices, of several of our trademarks. In some instances, these applications
span a variety of goods and services. Effective trademark, service mark,
copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in
which we will sell our products and services online. Furthermore, the
relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting
trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. Therefore, we may be
unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to,
infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other
proprietary rights.

The Loss of the Services of One or More of Our Key Personnel, or Our Failure to
Attract, Assimilate and Retain Other Highly Qualified Personnel in the Future,
Could Disrupt Our Operations and Result in Loss of Net Sales.

     Our future performance will depend on the continued services of our
management and key personnel and the ability to attract additional management
and key personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel
could seriously interrupt our business. We depend on the continued services and
performance of our senior management and other key personnel. Our future success
also depends upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key
sales, marketing and support personnel. Our relationships with officers and key
employees are at will and none of our officers or key employees is bound by an
employment agreement for any specific term. We currently have key person life
insurance policies covering James H. Whitcomb, Jr. While the proceeds of these
policies might assist us in recruiting executive officers, the proceeds would
not address the potential disruption to our business of recruiting and
integrating new senior management.

                                       25

We May Not Achieve Expected Benefits of Any Investments or Acquisitions That We
Complete.

     As we identify appropriate opportunities, we intend to continue to make
acquisitions of or investments in complementary companies, products or
technologies. We may not correctly identify or realize the anticipated benefits
of any acquisition or investment. For example, we may not be able to
successfully assimilate the additional personnel, operations, acquired
technology and products into our business. Acquisitions may further strain our
existing financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures.
In addition, key personnel of acquired companies may decide not to work for us.
These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management
and employees or increase our expenses. Further, any physical expansion in
facilities due to an acquisition may result in disruptions that seriously impair
our business. We are not experienced in managing facilities or operations in
geographically distant areas. Finally, in connection with any future
acquisitions, we may incur debt or issue equity securities as part or all of the
consideration for the acquired company's assets or capital stock. We may be
unable to obtain sufficient additional financing on favorable terms, or at all.
Equity issuances could be dilutive to our existing stockholders or us.

Executive Officers, Directors and Entities Affiliated with Them Have Substantial
Control over Ashford.com which Could Delay or Prevent a Change in Our Corporate
Control Favored by Our Other Stockholders.

     Executive officers, directors and entities affiliated with them, if acting
together, would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring
approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the
approval of mergers or other business combination transactions.

It May Be Difficult for a Third Party to Acquire Us Even if Doing So Would Be
Beneficial to Our Stockholders.

     Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Delaware
law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing
so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In particular, our certificate of
incorporation provides for a board of directors that is divided into three
classes which may issue preferred stock without any stockholder action. Our
certificate of incorporation also does not allow stockholders to act by written
consent or for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Only one class of
directors is up for reelection at each annual meeting. In addition, Section 203
of the Delaware General Corporation Law places restrictions on business
combinations with interested stockholders.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We Depend on Increasing Use of the Internet and on the Growth of Online
Commerce.

     Our future revenues substantially depend upon the increased acceptance and
use of the Internet and other online services as a medium of commerce. Rapid
growth in the use of the Internet, the Web and online services is a recent
phenomenon. As a result, acceptance and use may not continue to develop at
historical rates and a sufficiently broad base of customers may not adopt,
and/or continue to use, the Internet and other online services as a medium of
commerce. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services and
products over the Internet are subject to a high level of uncertainty and there
exist few proven services and products.

     In addition, the Internet may not be accepted as a viable long-term
commercial marketplace for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate
development of the necessary network infrastructure or delayed development of
enabling technologies and performance improvements. If the Internet continues to
experience significant expansion in the number of users, frequency of use or
bandwidth requirements, the infrastructure for the Internet may be unable to
support the demands placed upon it. In addition, the Internet could lose its
viability as a commercial medium due to delays in the development or adoption of
new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet
activity, or due to increased governmental regulation. Changes in, or
insufficient availability of, telecommunications services to support the
Internet also could result in slower response times and adversely affect usage
of the Internet generally.

     Our business, financial condition and results of operations would be
seriously harmed if:

 .    use of the Internet, the Web and other online services does not continue to
     increase or increases more slowly than expected;

                                       26
<PAGE>

 .    the infrastructure for the Internet, the Web and other online services
     does not effectively support expansion that may occur; the Internet, the
     Web and other online services do not become a viable commercial
     marketplace; or

 .    traffic to our Web site decreases or fails to increase as expected or if
     we spend more than we expect to attract visitors to our Web site.

If We Are Unable to Acquire the Necessary Web Domain Names, Our Brand and
Reputation Could Be Damaged and We Could Lose Customers.

     We may be unable to acquire or maintain Web domain names relating to our
brand in the United States and other countries in which we may conduct business.
As a result, we may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using
domain names relating to our brand, which could damage our brand and reputation
and take customers away from our Web site. We currently hold, among others, the
"Ashford.com," "newwatch.com," "sunglasses.com," "TimeZone.com,"
"Paris1925.com," "Jasmin.com" and "Ashfordcorporategifts.com" domain names and
may seek to acquire additional domain names. Governmental agencies and their
designees generally regulate the acquisition and maintenance of domain names.
The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is
subject to change in the near future. The changes in the United States are
expected to include a transition from the current system to a system that is
controlled by a non-profit corporation and the creation of additional top-level
domains. Governing bodies may establish additional top-level domains, appoint
additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain
names.

We May Need to Change the Manner in Which We Conduct Our Business if Government
Regulation Increases.

     The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the
Internet could adversely affect the manner in which we currently conduct our
business. In addition, the growth and development of the market for online
commerce may lead to more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United
States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on us. Laws and
regulations directly applicable to communications or commerce over the Internet
are becoming more prevalent. The United States Congress recently enacted
Internet laws regarding children's privacy, copyrights, taxation and the
transmission of sexually explicit material. The European Union recently enacted
its own privacy regulations. Laws regulating the Internet, however, remain
largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action.
It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those
governing intellectual property, privacy, libel, and taxation apply to the
Internet. In order to comply with new or existing laws regulating online
commerce, we may need to modify the manner in which we do business, which may
result in additional expenses. For instance, we may need to spend time and money
revising the process by which we fulfill customer orders to ensure that each
shipment complies with applicable laws. We may need to hire additional personnel
to monitor our compliance with applicable laws. We may also need to modify our
software to further protect our customers' personal information.

We May Be Subject to Liability for the Internet Content That We Publish.

     As a publisher of online content, we face potential liability for
defamation, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement, or other
claims based on the nature and content of materials that we publish or
distribute. If we face liability, then our reputation and our business may
suffer. In the past, plaintiffs have brought these types of claims and sometimes
successfully litigated them against online companies. In addition, we could be
exposed to liability with respect to the unauthorized duplication of content or
unauthorized use of other parties' proprietary technology. Although we carry
general liability insurance, our insurance currently does not cover claims of
these types. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain insurance to
cover the claims on reasonable terms or that it will be adequate to indemnify us
for all liability that may be imposed on us. Any imposition of liability that is
not covered by our insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could
decrease our gross profit.

Our Net Sales Could Decrease if We Become Subject to Sales or Other Taxes

     If one or more states or any foreign country successfully asserts that we
should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of our products, our net sales
and results of operations could be harmed. One or more local, state or foreign
jurisdictions may seek to impose sales tax collection obligations on us. In
addition, any new operation could subject our shipments in other states to state
sales taxes under current or future laws. If we become obligated to

                                       27

collect sales taxes, we will need to update our system that processes customer
orders to calculate the appropriate sales tax for each customer order and to
remit the collected sales taxes to the appropriate authorities. These upgrades
will increase our operating expenses. In addition, our customers may be
discouraged from purchasing products from us because they have to pay sales tax,
causing our net sales to decrease. As a result, we may need to lower prices to
retain these customers.

Risks Related to Securities Markets

Our Common Stock Price Is Volatile, Which Could Result In Substantial Losses for
Individual Stockholders.

     The trading price of our common stock fluctuates significantly. For
example, since our initial public offering through December 31, 2001, the
reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was as
high as $24.88 and as low as $0.08. Trading prices of our common stock may
fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as:

 .    actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

 .    announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by
     us or our competitors;

 .    changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

 .    conditions or trends in the Internet and/or online commerce industries;

 .    changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other
     Internet, online commerce or retail companies;

 .    announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions,
     strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 .    additions or departures of key personnel;

 .    release of transfer restrictions on our outstanding shares of common stock
     or sales of additional shares of common stock; and

 .    potential litigation.

     In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme
price and volume fluctuations. These broad market fluctuations may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

     We are, and from time to time may be, involved in litigation relating to
claims arising out of our ordinary course of business. We believe that there are
no claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition
of which would materially adversely affect us.
