Companys audited financial statements presented in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 6, 2005.



NOTE 2ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of Consolidation:The financial statements presented include
the accounts of the Company and all wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.



Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 and assumptions.



Fair Values:The estimated fair value amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been determined by the Company using
available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Such fair value estimates are based on pertinent
information available to management as of January 1, 2005 and April 2, 2005, and have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since such dates.



Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates their current market value.

Marketable Securities:
Marketable securities, which consist of investments in various debt securities, are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of stockholders equity. The Company
does not intend to hold its marketable securities for more than one year from the most recent balance sheet date and has therefore classified them as a current asset. All investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days are accounted for
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase.
At January 1, 2005, the Company held $39,700 and at April 2, 2005 $12,400 of investments in auction rate securities classified as available-for-sale. Investments in these securities are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to their
variable interest rates, which reset approximately every 30 to 45 days. Despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, there is a ready liquid market for these securities based on the interest rate reset mechanism. As a result,
there are no cumulative gross realized or unrealized holding gains or (losses) from the Companys auction rate securities. All income generated from these marketable securities was recorded as interest income. As of January 1, 2005, the Company
recorded net unrealized losses on its marketable securities, other than auction rate securities, of $104. As of April 2, 2005, the Company recorded net unrealized losses on its marketable securities, other than auction rate securities, of $153.
Realized gains or losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are reported in other income or loss.



Inventory:Inventory, primarily consisting of sporting goods, consumer electronics and licensed entertainment products, is valued at the lower
of cost (determined using the weighted average method) or market. Inherent in this valuation are significant management judgments and estimates, including among others, assessments concerning obsolescence and shrinkage rates. Based upon the
methodology underlying these judgments and estimates, which is applied consistently from period to period, the Company records a valuation allowance to adjust the carrying amount of its inventory.



Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost, net
of accumulated depreciation or amortization. Costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage, including those relating to developing partners Web sites, generally are capitalized. Costs of
enhancements to internal-use computer software are also capitalized, provided that these enhancements result in additional functionality. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, which are generally:



| |  |  | Three to four years for computer hardware and software;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Three to ten years for furniture, and fulfillment center and office equipment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lesser of fifteen years or lease term for leasehold improvements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fifteen years for building improvements; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Thirty years for buildings
| | - |  | --------------------------



Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and the
resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized as a gain or loss on disposition of the assets in other income/expense. Expenditures from maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.



Effective December 30, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 142 changed the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Under an impairment-only approach, goodwill and certain intangibles are not amortized into results of operations but instead,
are reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. The Company performed an annual impairment test of
its recorded goodwill as of January 1, 2005, and found no instances of impairment.



Long-Lived Assets: The ability to realize long-lived assets is evaluated periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amount. Such evaluation is based on
various analyses, including undiscounted cash flow and profitability projections that incorporate, as applicable, the impact on the existing business. The analyses necessarily involve significant management judgment. Any impairment loss, if
indicated, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

Other Equity Investments:
Other equity investments consist of 824,594 shares of Odimo Incorporated (Odimo) common stock, which was converted from Series C and Series D preferred stock when Odimo completed an initial public offering through the issuance of
3,125,000 shares of its common stock in February of 2005. The Company accounts for the investment in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The initial cost of the Companys
investment was determined based on the fair value of the investment at the time of its acquisition. At the time, an observable market price did not exist for non-marketable securities. In order to determine the fair value of the investment in Odimo,
the Company obtained an independent, third-party valuation. The valuation incorporated a variety of methodologies to estimate fair value, including comparing the security with securities of publicly traded companies in similar lines of business,
applying price multiples to estimated future operating results for Odimo and estimating discounted cash flows. Factors affecting the valuation included restrictions on control and marketability of Odimos equity securities and other information
available to the Company, such as the Companys knowledge of the industry and knowledge of specific information about Odimo. Using this valuation, the Company determined the estimated fair value of the investment to be approximately $2,847 as
of January 1, 2005. The fair value of the Odimo investment as of April 2, 2005 was $5,203, which was determined by the current market price of the common stock of Odimo on April 1, 2005, which resulted in an unrealized gain of $2,220 in the
three-month period ended April 2, 2005, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders equity. During the three-month period ended April 2, 2005, the Company exercised warrants to purchase Odimo
common stock for $136, which represents 119,272 of common stock.



Other Assets, Net: Other assets, net consists primarily of deferred partner revenue share charges, resulting from the exercise of a right to receive 1,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock in lieu of future cash partner
revenue share payments. Deferred partner revenue share charges were $10,097 as of January 1, 2005 and $9,609 as of April 2, 2005, and are being amortized as stock-based compensation expense as the partner revenue share expense is incurred. The
partner revenue share expense incurred is based on actual revenues recognized in a given period and the imputed partner revenue share percentage, which is based on the value of the Companys common stock that was issued upon exercise of the
right. Stock-based compensation expense related to the amortization of deferred partner revenue share charges was $360 for the three-month period ended April 3, 2004, and $488 for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005.



Deferred Revenue:Deferred revenue consists primarily of fees paid in
advance to the Company under agreements to manage some aspects of certain partners e-commerce businesses, including fulfillment technology and customer service, existing at the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue also consists of amounts
received from the sale of gift certificates redeemable through the Companys partners e-commerce businesses.



Net Revenues from Product Sales: Net revenues from product sales are derived from the sale of products by the Company through its partners
e-commerce businesses. Net revenues from product sales are net of allowances for returns and discounts and include outbound shipping charges and other product related services such as gift wrapping and monogramming.



The Company recognizes revenues from product sales when the following revenue
recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.



The Company recognizes revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns based on historical experience and current
trends, upon shipment of products to customers. The Company ships the majority of products from its fulfillment centers in Louisville, KY and Shepherdsville, KY. The Company also relies upon certain vendors to ship products directly to customers on
its behalf. The Company acts as principal in these transactions, as orders are initiated directly through the e-commerce businesses that the Company operates, the Company takes title to the goods at the shipping point and has the economic risk
related to collection, customer service and returns.



The
Company considers the criteria presented in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, in determining the appropriate revenue recognition treatment. Generally,
when the Company is the primary obligor in a transaction, has general inventory risk, establishes the selling price, has discretion in supplier selection, has physical loss inventory risk after order placement or during shipping, and has credit
risk, or has several but not all of these indicators, the Company records revenue gross as a principal.

The Company pays to its partners a
percentage of the revenues generated from the sale of products sold by the Company through the e-commerce businesses that the Company operates in exchange for the rights to use their brand names and the promotions and advertising that its partners
agree to provide. The Company refers to these royalty payments as partner revenue share charges. The Company has considered the revenue reduction provisions addressed in EITF No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration
Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products, which was codified in EITF No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendors Products, and believes that the payment of
partner revenue share charges, or the issuance of warrants or stock in lieu of cash partner revenue share charges, to its partners should not result in any reduction of revenues. EITF No. 00-25 addresses consideration paid to parties along a
distribution chain. The Company purchases merchandise from its vendors, at its discretion, and is responsible for paying those vendors. The amounts purchased and the prices paid to the Companys vendors are not in any way impacted by the
revenue share provisions of the Companys agreements with its partners. Accordingly, the Companys partners and vendors are not linked in the distribution chain and the Company believes that the provisions of EITF No. 00-25 do not apply.



Service Fee Revenues: The Company derives its service
fee revenues from service fees earned by it in connection with the development and operation of its partners e-commerce businesses. Service fees primarily consist of variable fees based on the value of merchandise sold or gross profit
generated through its partners e-commerce businesses. To a lesser extent, service fees include fixed periodic payments by partners for the development and operation of their e-commerce businesses and fees related to the provision of marketing,
design, development and other services. The Company recognizes revenues from services provided when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. If the Company receives payments for services in advance, these amounts are deferred and then recognized over the service period. Cost of service fee revenues includes the cost of products sold
and inbound freight related to those products, as well as outbound shipping and handling costs, other than those related to promotional free shipping and subsidized shipping and handling which would be included in sales and marketing expense. The
Company does not specifically record Cost of service fee revenues as these costs are incurred by the Companys fee-based partners rather than by the Company. Operating expenses relating to service fee revenues consist primarily of
personnel and other costs associated with the Companys engineering, production and creative departments which are included in product development expense, as well as fulfillment costs and personnel and other costs associated with its marketing
and customer service departments which are included in sales and marketing expense.



Cost of Revenues: Cost of revenues consist of cost of revenues from product sales and cost of service fee revenues. Cost of revenues from product sales include the cost of products sold and inbound freight
related to these products, as well as outbound shipping and handling costs, other than those related to promotional free shipping and subsidized shipping and handling which are included in sales and marketing expense. The Company specifically does
not record cost of service fee revenue. The cost of the sales of the merchandise on which the Company earns service fees are incurred by its service-fee partners because they are the owners and sellers of the merchandise.



Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses include fulfillment
costs, customer service costs, credit card fees, net partner revenue share charges, net advertising and promotional expenses incurred by it on behalf of the Companys partners e-commerce businesses, and payroll related to the buying,
business management and marketing functions of its company. Net partner revenue share charges are royalty payments made to the Companys partners in exchange for the use of their brands, the promotion of its partners URLs, Web sites and
toll-free telephone numbers in their marketing and communications materials, the implementation of programs to provide incentives to customers to shop through the e-commerce businesses that the Company operates for its partners and other programs
and services provided to the customers of the e-commerce businesses that the Company operates for its partners, net of amounts reimbursed to the Company by its partners. Net advertising and promotional expenses include promotional free shipping and
subsidized shipping and handling costs and are net of amounts reimbursed to the Company by its partners. Partner revenue share charges were $3,004 for the three-month period ended April 3, 2004 and $1,806 for the three-month period ended April 2,
2005.



Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company defines
shipping and handling costs as only those costs incurred for a third-party shipper to transport products to the customer and these costs are included in cost of revenues from product sales. In some

(Unaudited)



instances, shipping and handling costs exceed
shipping charges to the customer and are subsidized by the Company. Additionally, the Company selectively offers promotional free shipping whereby it ships merchandise to customers free of all shipping and handling charges. The cost of promotional
free shipping and subsidized shipping and handling was $579 for the three-month period ended April 3, 2004 and $874 for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005, and was charged to sales and marketing expense.



Fulfillment Costs: The Company defines fulfillment costs as personnel,
occupancy and other costs associated with its Kentucky fulfillment center, personnel and other costs associated with its logistical support and vendor operations departments and third-party warehouse and fulfillment services costs. Fulfillment costs
were $4,964 for the three-month period ended April 3, 2004, and $6,407 for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005, and are included in sales and marketing expense.



Advertising: The Company expenses the cost of advertising, which includes online marketing fees, media, agency and
production expenses, in accordance with the AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committees Statement of Position (SOP) 93-7, Reporting on Advertising Costs. Advertising production costs are expensed the first time the
advertisement runs. Online marketing fees and media (television, radio and print) placement costs are expensed in the month the advertising appears. Agency fees are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $410 for the three-month period ended
April 3, 2004 and $30 for the three-month period ended April 2, 2005 and are included in sales and marketing expenses.



Product Development: Product development expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with planning, maintaining and operating the
Companys partners e-commerce businesses, and payroll and related expenses for the Companys engineering, production, creative and management information systems departments. Costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software
during the application development stage, including those relating to developing the Companys partners Web sites, generally are capitalized. Costs of enhancements to internal-use computer software are also capitalized, provided that
these enhancements result in additional functionality.



Stock-Based Compensation: SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The
Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Companys stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for stock options and warrants issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, and EITF No. 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees. Accordingly, compensation
expense for stock options and warrants issued to non-employees is measured using a Black-Scholes multiple option pricing model that takes into account significant assumptions as to the expected life of the option or warrant, the expected volatility
of the Companys common stock and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option or warrant.

Stock-based
compensation expense related to the amortization of deferred partner revenue share charges was $360 for the three-month periods ended April 3, 2004, and $488 for the three-month periods ended April 2, 2005.



Income Taxes: The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards. The impact on deferred taxes of changes
in tax rates and laws, if any, applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled, is reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.



New Accounting Pronouncements



Inventory
Costs an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4: In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43 Chapter 4, Inventory
Pricing to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43 Chapter 4, previously stated that under some circumstances, items such
as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless
of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production
overheads to the costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production facility. The Company anticipates that adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have no significant impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets an Amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29: In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar
productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. This Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows
of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company anticipates that adoption of SFAS No.
153 will have no significant impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



Share-Based Payment. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
123R Share-Based Payment, or FAS 123R, which replaces Financial Accounting

Standards Board Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or FAS 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB 25. FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.. In addition, FAS 123R will cause unrecognized expense (based on the amounts in the Companys pro forma footnote disclosure) related to
options vesting after the date of initial adoption to be recognized as a charge to results of operations over the remaining vesting period. In April 2005, the SEC announced that it would delay the initial adoption of FAS 123R from interim periods
that begin after June 15, 2005, to annual periods. The Company will now be required to adopt FAS 123R in its first quarter of 2006. Under FAS 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based
payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at the date of adoption. The Company has preliminarily decided to use the prospective method for transition as of the effective date of FAS 123R. The
prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and share awards at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of FAS 123R. The Company is evaluating the requirements of FAS 123R and it expects
that the adoption of FAS 123R will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.



In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (SFAS 143). FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS 143 and requires a liability to be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be
reasonably estimated. The types of asset retirement obligations that are covered by FIN 47 are those for which an entity has a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity; however, the timing and/or method of settling the obligation are
conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is
effective no later than fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 47 on its financial statements.

considered the nature of these marketable securities, which are primarily U.S. government agency securities, the amount of the impairments relative to the carrying value of the related investments and the duration of the impairments, which are all
less than twelve months, and concluded that the impairments were not other than temporary.

NOTE 7STOCK OPTIONS, WARRANTS
AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS



The Company maintains
incentive and non-incentive stock option plans for certain employees, directors and other persons (the Plans). Under the terms of the Plans, the Company may grant incentive and non-incentive options, restricted stock and unrestricted
stock awards and restricted stock units to purchase up to 10,025,071 shares of common stock. The options granted under the Plans generally vest at various times over periods ranging up to five years and have terms of up to ten years after the date
of grant, unless the optionee leaves the employ of or ceases to provide services to the Company. Stock appreciation rights (SARs) may be granted under the Plans either alone or in tandem with stock options. Generally, recipients of SARs
are entitled to receive, upon exercise, cash or shares of common stock (valued at the then fair market value of the Companys common stock) equal to such fair market value on the date of exercise minus such fair market value on the date of
grant of the shares subject to the SAR, although certain other

measurements also may be used. A SAR granted in tandem with a stock option is exercisable
only if and to the extent that the option is exercised. No SARs have been granted to date under the Plans.

NOTE 8LOSS PER SHARE



Loss per share for all periods has been computed in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Outstanding common stock options
and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted losses per share because their effect would be antidilutive.



The amounts used in calculating loss per share data are as follows:

NOTE 10SIGNIFICANT
TRANSACTIONS/CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK



The Company
had $12,397 as of January 1, 2005 and $5,103 as of April 2, 2005, of operating cash and $63,026 as of January 1, 2005 and $38,120 as of April 2, 2005 of cash equivalents and marketable securities invested with three financial institutions, which are
potentially subject to credit risk. The composition of these investments is regularly monitored by management of the Company.



NOTE 11MAJOR SUPPLIERS/ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY



During the three-month period ended April 2, 2005, the Company purchased inventory from one supplier amounting to $24,713 or 48.7% of total inventory
purchased.



During the three-month period ended April 3, 2004,
the Company purchased inventory from one supplier amounting to $12,431 or 36.9% of total inventory purchased.



No other supplier amounted to more than 10% of total inventory purchased for any period presented.



NOTE 12COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



Legal Proceedings



The Company is involved in various litigation incidental to its current and discontinued businesses, including alleged
infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties, contractual claims and claims relating to the manner in which goods are sold through its e-commerce platform.



While the Company sold certain assets of Ashford.com, Inc. in December 2002, Ashford.com continues to be a party to certain
litigation that was commenced prior to the Companys acquisition of Ashford.com in March 2002. Since July 11, 2001, several stockholder class action complaints have been filed in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York against Ashford.com, several of Ashford.coms officers and directors, and various underwriters of Ashford.coms initial public offering. The purported class actions have all been brought on behalf of purchasers of Ashford.com common
stock during various periods beginning on September 22, 1999, the date of Ashford.coms initial public offering. The plaintiffs allege that Ashford.coms prospectus, included in Ashford.coms Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose, among other things, certain fees and commissions collected by the underwriters or arrangements designed to inflate the price of the
common stock. The plaintiffs further allege that

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(In thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)



because of these purchases, Ashford.coms
post-initial public offering stock price was artificially inflated. As a result of the alleged omissions in the prospectus and the purported inflation of the stock price, the plaintiffs claim violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaints have been consolidated into a single action, and the consolidated cases against Ashford.com have been consolidated with similarly consolidated cases filed against 308
other issuer defendants for the purposes of pretrial proceedings. The claims against Ashford.coms officers and directors were dismissed in exchange for tolling agreements which permit the refiling of claims against officers and directors at a
later date. A motion to dismiss filed on behalf of all issuer defendants, including Ashford.com, was denied in all aspects relevant to Ashford.com on February 19, 2003. Ashford.com and its insurers have entered into a memorandum of understanding
regarding terms for settlement of this suit. Under the settlement, plaintiffs claims against Ashford.com and other issuers will be dismissed in exchange for certain consideration from the issuers insurers and for the issuers
assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims against the underwriters of the relevant initial public offerings. Formal documentation of the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding is complete and the Judge presiding over
this matter has preliminarily approved the settlement. In the event that a settlement is not finalized, the Company believes that Ashford.com has defenses against these actions.



In September 2003, the Company learned that it, along with several of its partners, were named in an action in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Illinois, by a private litigant who is alleging that the Company, along with certain of its partners, wrongfully failed to collect and remit sales and use taxes for sales of personal property to customers in Illinois and
knowingly created records and statements falsely stating the Company was not required to collect or remit such taxes. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, unpaid taxes, interest, attorneys fees, civil penalties of up to $10 per violation,
and treble damages under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act. The Company is aware that this same private litigant has filed similar actions against retailers in other states, and it may be possible that the Company and/or its
partners may have been or may be named in similar cases in other states. The Company does not believe that it is liable under existing laws and regulations for any failure to collect sales or other taxes relating to internet sales and intends to
vigorously defend itself in this matter.



The Company does not
believe, based on current knowledge, that any of the foregoing claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. However, the Company may incur substantial expenses and devote
substantial time to defend third-party claims whether or not such claims are meritorious. In the event of a determination adverse to the Company, the Company may incur substantial monetary liability, and may be required to implement expensive
changes in its business practices or enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements. Any of these could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial position or results of operations.



Advertising and Media Agreements



As of April 2, 2005, the Company was contractually committed for the
purchase of future advertising totaling approximately $30 through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The expense related to these commitments will be recognized in accordance with the Companys accounting policy related to advertising
(see Note 2).

certain conditions, the Company was contractually committed to future minimum cash revenue share payments as follows:

NOTE 17RESTATEMENT OF THE
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS



Subsequent to the
issuance of the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 1, 2005, the Company determined that its investments in auction rate securities should have been classified as marketable securities within current assets.
Previously, such investments had been classified as cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly, the Company restated its Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the three-month period ended April 3, 2004, to reflect the gross purchases and sales
of these investments as investing activities rather than as a component of cash and cash equivalents. The restatement had no impact on previously reported total current assets, total assets, working capital position, results of operations or cash
flows from operating activities.



The following table presents
a summary of the significant effects of the restatement:

| |  |  | Based on forecasts of Forrester Research, we expect online general merchandise sales in the United States to expand at approximately a 14.3% compounded annual growth rate from 2004
through 2010. While we expect the opportunity for partnered e-commerce to continue to grow, we also anticipate competition to continue to be intense. We compete with traditional, in-house solutions as well as a variety of third-party vendors that
provide e-commerce software or partial e-commerce solutions. To satisfy our existing partners and continue to attract new partners, we offer what we believe is a comprehensive and compelling value proposition that includes the provision of expertise
and infrastructure to enable our partners to grow their e-commerce businesses and to use their e-commerce businesses as a channel to complement and enhance their offline businesses. We have built and continue to develop expertise in integrated
online technology, marketing and retailing, which we deliver across a shared technology, supporting infrastructure and partner services platform. To differentiate our solution in the marketplace, we continually add new services and functions to our
platforms. As part of our continuing efforts to add value to our platform, we evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary or new businesses or assets.

| |  |  | Generally, we launch the website of a new partner within three to six months after entering into a contract with such new partner. During the period in which we are planning and
developing a new partners Web site, we incur development and launch expenses without any accompanying revenues. We anticipate that new Web sites typically will contribute to our income from operations in their first full year of operation.

| |  |  | We derive virtually all of our revenues from sales of products by us through our partners e-commerce businesses and service fees earned by us in connection with the
development and operation of our partners e-commerce businesses. Our revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was due to an increase in revenues from product sales in both our sporting
goods and other categories, as well as an increase in service fee revenues. These increases were driven by the addition of new partners in fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

| |  |  | Our gross profit increased as a result of sales growth. Our gross margin decreased as a result of a shift in sales from sporting goods to customer electronics, which carry a lower
gross margin than product sales of sporting goods. We specifically do not record cost of service fee revenue. The cost of sales of the merchandise on which we earn service fees are costs incurred by our service-fee partners because they are the
owners and sellers of the merchandise. Accordingly, our gross margin on service revenues is 100%. Our gross margin on products has typically been impacted by the mix of products sold between our sporting goods and other categories as well as within
our sporting goods category.

| |  |  | Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased from 43.9% in first quarter of fiscal 2004 to 38.9% in first quarter of fiscal 2005, primarily as a result of sales and
marketing expenses increasing at a slower rate than net revenues.

| |  |  | Fiscal 2004 was our first profitable year since entering the e-commerce business in fiscal 1999. We had net income of $0.3 million or $0.01 per share on a fully diluted basis.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We generate cash from operations primarily in our fourth fiscal quarter due to the seasonality of our business. In our first fiscal quarter, we typically use cash from operations to
satisfy accounts payable and accrued expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of our prior fiscal year. We typically have not generated cash from operations in our second and third fiscal quarters.

| |  |  | In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R Shared-Based Payment, or FAS 123R.
FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. In addition, FAS 123R will cause expense related to options vesting after
the date of initial adoption to be recognized as a charge to results of operations over the remaining vesting period. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the initial adoption of 123R from interim periods that begin after June 15, 2005 to annual periods.
We are continuing to evaluate the requirements of FAS 123R and expect that the adoption of FAS 123R will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share. In light of our anticipated adoption of FAS 123R, we
and our compensation committee are reevaluating our current incentive compensation strategies.

Net Revenues from
Product Sales. Net revenues from product sales are derived from the sale of products by us through our partners e-commerce businesses. Net revenues from product sales are net of allowances for returns and discounts and include outbound
shipping charges and other product related services such as gift wrapping and monogramming.



Net revenues from product sales increased $19.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Of this increase, $6.3 million was due to an increase in sales in our sporting goods category and $13.5 million was due to
an increase in sales in our other product category, which includes increased sales of consumer electronics and licensed entertainment products.



Service fee revenue. Service fee revenues are derived from service fees earned in connection with the development and operation of our
partners e-commerce businesses. Service fees primarily consist of variable fees based on the value of merchandise sold or

gross profit generated through our partners e-commerce businesses. To a lesser extent, service fees include fixed periodic payments by partners for the
development and operation of their e-commerce businesses and fees related to the provision of marketing, design, development and other services.



Service fee revenues increased $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2005, due primarily to the launch of new fee-based partners in fiscal 2004.



Cost of Revenues



Cost of revenues consists of cost of revenues from product sales and cost of
service fee revenues. Cost of revenues from product sales includes the cost of products sold and inbound freight related to those products, as well as outbound shipping and handling costs, other than those related to promotional free shipping and
subsidized shipping and handling which are included in sales and marketing expense. We specifically do not record cost of service fee revenue. The cost of the sales of the merchandise on which we earn service fees are incurred by our service-fee
partners because they are the owners and sellers of the merchandise. The following table shows cost of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and first quarter of fiscal 2005, the percentages that such costs bear to total net revenues and the
period over period changes in cost of revenues:

As a percentage of net
revenues, cost of revenues increased from 62.6% in first quarter of fiscal 2004 to 63.1% in first quarter of fiscal 2005. The change in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues resulted from lower margins in our other product category. Cost
of revenues from product sales as a percentage of net revenues from product sales increased from approximately 72.9% in first quarter of fiscal 2004 to approximately 75.1% in first quarter of fiscal 2005.



Gross Profit



Gross profit consists of gross profit from product sales and gross profit
from service fees. Because we do not record cost of service fee revenues, net revenues from service fees and gross profit from service fees are the same. The following table shows gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, the percentages that such gross profit bears to product sales, service fees and total net revenues and the period over period changes in gross profit:

The increase in gross
profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was due to a $5.3 million increase in service fee revenues and a $3.6 million increase in gross profit from product sales. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues in first quarter of
fiscal 2005 was largely driven by greater than planned product sales in the other category, which is primarily electronics, which carry a lower gross margin than product sales of sporting goods. Gross profit from product sales represented 62.1% of
total gross profit in first quarter of fiscal 2004 and 56.4% in first quarter of fiscal 2005. Gross profit from service fee revenues represented 37.9% of total gross profit in first quarter of fiscal 2004 and 43.6% in first quarter of fiscal 2005.
The gross profit on product sales decreased from 27.1% in first quarter of fiscal 2004 to 24.8% in first quarter of fiscal 2005 due primarily to a shift in sales to consumer electronics from sporting goods.

Sales and Marketing
Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses include fulfillment costs, customer service costs, credit card fees, net partner revenue share charges, net advertising and promotional expenses incurred by us on behalf of our partners e-commerce
businesses and payroll related to the buying, business management and marketing functions of our company. Net partner revenue share charges are royalty payments made to our partners in exchange for the use of their brands, the promotion of our
partners URLs, Web sites and toll-free telephone numbers in their marketing and communications materials, the implementation of programs to provide incentives to customers to shop through the e-commerce businesses that we operate for our
partners and other programs and services provided to the customers of the e-commerce businesses that we operate for our partners, net of amounts reimbursed to us by our partners. Net advertising and promotional expenses include promotional free
shipping and subsidized shipping and handling costs and are net of amounts reimbursed to us by our partners.



Sales and marketing expenses increased $3.4 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in payroll and related
costs principally in our fulfillment operations, a $1.1 million increase in credit card fees, a $0.5 million increase in online marketing and a $0.2 million increase in subsidized shipping costs related to increased promotional shipping activity.
The increases in these costs were principally caused by higher sales volumes in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.



Product Development Expenses. Product development expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with planning, maintaining and operating our
partners e-commerce businesses and payroll and related expenses for engineering, production, creative and management information systems.



Product development expenses increased $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004 primarily due to a
$1.6 million increase in staffing and related costs, and a $0.5 million increase in communication, web hosting and equipment maintenance costs. The increases in these costs were necessary to support new partner launches, deliver enhanced
functionality for our partners e-commerce businesses and continue to improve the capacity, stability and security of our e-commerce platform.



General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for executive, finance,
human resources, legal, business development, corporate development and administrative personnel, as well as bad debt expense and occupancy costs for our headquarters and other offices.



General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily due to a $1.0
million increase in payroll and related costs to support the growth of our business, a $0.2 million increase in occupancy costs due to the purchase of our new headquarters and a $0.1 million increase in other general and administrative expenses.



Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation
expense consists of the amortization of deferred compensation expense for options granted to employees and certain non-employees, including options subject to variable accounting (the expense for which may fluctuate from period to period based on
the closing market price of our stock), the value of options or warrants granted to certain partners and investors and amortization of deferred partner revenue share charges. Deferred partner revenue share charges, which are included in other
assets, relate to a partners exercise of a right to receive shares of our common stock in lieu of future cash revenue share payments.

##### Table of Contents

Stock-based compensation expense decreased $0.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily
due to a $0.9 million decrease in the amortization of deferred compensation expense relating to options subject to variable accounting as well as a $0.1 million increase in deferred partner revenue share charges resulting from higher product sales
from the partners e-commerce business. As of the end of first quarter of fiscal 2005, we had an aggregate of $1.5 million of deferred stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized. We had stock-based compensation expense related to the
amortization of deferred partner revenue share charges of $0.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and $0.5 million for first quarter of fiscal 2005.



Depreciation and Amortization Expense.Depreciation and amortization expenses relate primarily to the depreciation of our corporate headquarters
and Louisville, Kentucky fulfillment center, the depreciation and amortization of the capitalized costs for our purchased and internally developed technology, including a portion of the cost related to the employees that developed such technology,
hardware and software and the depreciation of improvements, furniture and equipment at our corporate headquarters and our fulfillment and customer contact centers.



Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily due to
additional assets to build, manage and operate our business, offset in part, by certain previously purchased assets becoming fully depreciated in fiscal 2004.



Other (Income) Expense



Other (income) expense consists of expenses related to a minority interest held by a third party in a joint venture with us and losses and gains on the
disposition of assets. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense paid in connection with a mortgage note that we have on our new corporate headquarters and interest expense on capital leases, and interest income consists primarily of
interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities. The following table shows other (income) expense, interest expense and interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and for the first quarter of
fiscal 2005, the percentages that such amounts bear to net revenues and the period over period changes in each of other (income) expense, interest expense and interest income:

The $0.1 million
increase in other (income) expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was primarily due to a minority interest held by a third party in a joint venture with us.



The increase in interest expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was due primarily to the mortgage on
our new corporate headquarters.



Income Taxes



We have not had any taxable income since we entered the
e-commerce business in fiscal 1999. Prior year net operating losses generated have been carried back to offset income taxes paid in prior years. The remaining net operating losses were used in part to offset fiscal 2004 taxable income with the
remainder carried forward. As of April 2, 2005, we had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $443.0 million which expire in the years 2005 through 2024. The use of certain net operating loss carryforwards are subject to annual
limitations based on ownership changes of our stock, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We expect that net operating losses of approximately $245.0 million will expire before they can be used. Any otherwise recognizable deferred
tax assets have been offset by a valuation allowance for the net operating loss carryforwards.



Certain Related Party Transactions



In fiscal 2000 and 2001, Interactive Technology Holdings, LLC, a joint venture of Comcast Corporation and QVC, Inc., acquired 10,797,900 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of our common
stock, which accounted for approximately 26.0% of our outstanding common stock as of January 1, 2005. On January 31, 2005, ITH effected a distribution of all of its assets, including shares of GSI common stock, to entities affiliated with Comcast
and QVC. As of April 2, 2005, QVC beneficially owned approximately 20.3% of our outstanding common stock. M. Jeffrey Branman, one of our directors, was the President of Interactive Technology Services, which served as financial advisor to ITH
through its dissolution.

In fiscal 2000, we entered into a website development and distribution agreement with iQVC, a division of
QVC, Inc., pursuant to which we provide technology, procurement and fulfillment services for QVC, including selling sporting goods, recreational and/or fitness related equipment and related products, apparel and footwear to QVC for resale through
the QVC website. We recognized net revenues of $397,759 for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 sales to QVC under this website development and distribution agreement. The terms of these sales are comparable to those with our other business-to-business
partners. Included in accounts receivable as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was $68,911 related to these sales.



In fiscal 2003, we entered into a services agreement with QVC, Inc. pursuant to which QVC provided shipping services to us in exchange for fees. The fees
charged to us by QVC were determined through arms-length negotiations. We incurred fees of $25,442 in three-month period ended April 2, 2005. Of those fees, $12,794 related directly to products shipped and was charged to cost of revenues from
product sales and the remaining $12,648 related to fulfillment services provided and was charged to sales and marketing expense. On February 1, 2005 we provided a 60 day termination notice to QVC, which terminated this agreement effective April 3,
2005.



Prior to February 2005, We were the beneficial owner of
Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of Odimo Incorporated, referred to as Odimo, and warrants to acquire additional shares of Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of Odimo. These securities were acquired in connection with
the sale of certain assets of our Ashford.com subsidiary in 2002.



In February 2005, Odimo completed an initial public offering through the issuance of 3,125,000 shares of its common stock. Effective upon completion of Odimos initial public offering, we exercised our warrants to acquire Series C and
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of Odimo and converted all of such shares, along with our already held shares of Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of Odimo, into an aggregate of 824,594 shares of common stock of Odimo. We own
approximately 11.5% of the outstanding common stock of Odimo Incorporated. SOFTBANK Capital Partners LLC and its affiliates collectively own approximately 11.9% of the outstanding common stock of Odimo. SOFTBANK Capital Partners LLC and its
affiliates collectively own approximately 20.7% of our outstanding common stock as of April 2, 2005. Ronald D. Fisher, one of our directors, is vice-chairman of SOFTBANK Holdings Inc. and SOFTBANK Corp. and a managing general partner of SOFTBANK
Capital Partners LP, which are affiliates of SOFTBANK Capital Partners LLC, and Michael S. Perlis, one of our directors, is also managing partner of SOFTBANK Capital Partners LP.



In exchange for Rustic Canyon Partners forfeiting its right to designate one member to GSIs board of directors on June
25, 2004, GSIs board of directors approved the issuance to Rustic Canyon Partners of a warrant to purchase 12,500 shares of GSIs common stock with a term of five years and an exercise price equal to the closing price of GSIs common
stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date immediately preceding the date of the approval of such issuance. Mark S. Menell, one of our directors, is a partner of Rustic Canyon Partners.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our principal source of liquidity is our cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities. Our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities balances were $75.4 million as of the end of fiscal 2004 and $43.2 million as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005.



Since our entry into the e-commerce business in 1999, we have primarily
funded our operations with approximately $176.3 million in cash raised in equity financings. We also received an aggregate of $23.5 million in proceeds from the sales of our discontinued operations in fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000 and $35.7 million in
cash from the acquisition of Fogdog, Inc. in fiscal 2000. We used a portion of the cash from these transactions in connection with the exit from our discontinued operations and the balance for the working capital needs, to fund operating losses
incurred prior to fiscal 2004 and general business purposes of our e-commerce business. We also used $7.1 million in cash in connection with our acquisition of Ashford.com, Inc. in March 2002 and received $1.0 million in cash and a secured note in
the principal amount of $4.5 million in connection with our sale of certain assets of Ashford in December 2002 and March 2003. This note was repaid in full in August 2004.



We have incurred substantial costs to develop our e-commerce platform and to recruit, train and compensate personnel for our
creative, engineering, business development, marketing, merchandising, customer service, management information systems and administrative departments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we spent approximately $2.7 million on continued
upgrades to our technology infrastructure.



We had working
capital of $29.7 million as of the end of fiscal 2004 and $26.1 million as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and an accumulated deficit of $177.3 million as of the end of fiscal 2004 and $178.9 million as of the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 2005.



We used approximately $27.0 million in
net cash for operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Our principal sources of operating cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were payments received from customers and fee-based partners, which generally approximate our
net revenues from product sales and our service fee revenues, respectively. Our

principal uses of operating cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 were cash paid to product suppliers, which
generally approximates our cost of revenues from product sales, employee compensation and partner revenue share payments. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 resulted in a net cash outflow of $28.2
million. The most significant changes were a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, offset, in part, by an increase in accounts receivable compared to the end of fiscal 2004. The decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and
other was due primarily to a decrease in trade accounts payable due primarily to lower inventory levels at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and a decrease in amounts owed to partners, which were related to increased sales volume in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Our investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 consisted primarily of the purchase of $9.2 million and sale of $32.0 million of marketable securities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we also
incurred capital expenditures of $5.3 million. Our financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 consisted of the receipt of $1.2 million in gross proceeds from exercises of common stock options.



We used approximately $16.0 million in net cash for operating activities
during the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Our principal sources of operating cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 were payments received from customers and fee-based partners, which generally approximate our net revenues from product sales
and our service fee revenues, respectively. Our principal uses of operating cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 were cash paid to product suppliers, which generally approximates our cost of revenues from product sales, employee compensation
and partner revenue share payments. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 resulted in a net cash outflow of $15.2 million. The most significant changes were a decrease in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other and an increase in accounts receivable compared to the end of fiscal 2003. The decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other was due primarily to a decrease in trade accounts payable due primarily to lower inventory
levels at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and a decrease in amounts owed to partners, which were related to increased sales volume in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to decreases
in our accounts receivable reserves. Our investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 consisted primarily of the purchase of $8.7 million and sale of $8.5 million of marketable securities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we
also incurred capital expenditures of $2.4 million. Our financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 consisted of the receipt of $0.9 million in gross proceeds from exercises of common stock options.



We currently intend to offer up to 1.5 million shares of our common stock and
up to $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of our convertible notes due 2025 (not including up to an additional 232,763 shares of our common stock and $7.5 million aggregate principle amount of our convertible notes due 2025 to cover
over-allotment options granted to the underwriters) in underwritten public offerings which are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2005. The net proceeds of these offerings will be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes, including possible acquisitions. If we are unable to complete these offerings as contemplated, or if we raise fewer net proceeds than we anticipate, or if our cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund our operations, then we may
need to raise additional funds in future periods through public or private debt or equity financings or other arrangements to fund our operations. Failure to raise future capital when needed could seriously harm our business and operating results.
If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders would be reduced to the extent they did not participate in that financing. Furthermore, these equity securities might have
rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.



Seasonality



We have experienced and expect to continue to experience
seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. These seasonal patterns will cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results. In particular, our fourth fiscal quarter has accounted for and is expected to continue to account for a disproportionate
percentage of our total annual revenues. We believe that results of operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year.



Risk Factors



Any investment in our common stock or other securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these
risks, together with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of the following risks occur, our business could be materially harmed. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and
you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not necessarily known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our
business operations.



Risks Related to Our Business



Our future success cannot be predicted based upon our
limited operating history.



Compared to certain of our
current and potential competitors, we have a relatively short operating history. In addition, the nature of our business has undergone rapid development and change since we began operating it. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict whether we will
be successful. Thus, our chances of financial and operational success should be evaluated in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, delays and difficulties associated with operating a business in a relatively new and unproven market or a new
business in an existing market, many of which may be beyond our control. If we are unable to address these issues, we may not be financially or operationally successful.



We have an accumulated deficit and may incur additional losses.



Although we recorded a profit in fiscal 2004, we incurred losses over the
prior five fiscal years while operating our business. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $178.9 million. We may not obtain an appropriate volume of purchases through our e-commerce platform, generate
an appropriate amount of service fee revenue from

our existing partners, add an appropriate amount of new partners to generate sufficient revenues or adequately control
our expenses in order to achieve profitability. While we expect to be profitable in fiscal 2005, there can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve profitability.



We will continue to incur significant operating expenses and capital expenditures as we:



| |  |  | enhance our fulfillment capabilities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | further improve our order processing systems and capabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | develop new technologies and features to improve our partners e-commerce businesses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enhance our customer service center capabilities to better serve customers needs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | improve our marketing, customer relationship management and design capabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue our business development, sales and marketing activities; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make strategic or opportunistic acquisitions of complementary or new businesses or assets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If we incur expenses at a greater pace than our revenues, we could incur additional losses.



Our growth may be limited if we do not generate sufficient cash to fund
our operations. We may in the future need additional debt or equity financing to execute our business and continue our growth. Such additional financing may not be available on satisfactory terms or it may not be available when needed, or at all.



Because we have not generated sufficient cash from
operations to date, we have funded our e-commerce business primarily from the sale of equity securities. If our cash flows are insufficient to fund our operations, we may in the future need to seek additional equity or debt financings or reduce
costs. Further, we may not be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or it may not be available when needed, or at all. Our inability to finance our growth, either internally or externally, may limit our growth potential and our ability to
execute our business strategy. If we issue securities to raise capital, our existing stockholders may experience dilution or the new securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock.



Seasonal fluctuations in sales could cause wide fluctuations in our
quarterly results.



We have experienced and expect to
continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. These seasonal patterns have caused and will continue to cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results. Our results of operations historically have been seasonal primarily because
consumers increase their purchases on our partners e-commerce businesses during the fourth quarter holiday season.



In anticipation of increased sales activity during our fourth quarter, we incur additional expenses by hiring a significant number of temporary employees
to supplement our permanent staff. Our fourth fiscal quarter has accounted for and is expected to continue to account for a disproportionate percentage of our total annual revenues. For each of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 approximately 40% of our
annual net revenues were generated in our fiscal fourth quarter. Since fiscal 1999, we have not generated net income in any fiscal quarter other than a fiscal fourth quarter. If our revenues are below seasonal expectations during the fourth fiscal
quarter, our operating results could be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. Due to the nature of our business, it is difficult to predict the seasonal pattern of our sales and the impact of this seasonality on our business
and financial results. In the future, our seasonal sales patterns may become more pronounced, may strain our personnel, customer service operations, fulfillment operations and shipment activities and may cause a shortfall in revenues compared to
expenses in a given period.



In addition, if too many consumers
access our partners e-commerce businesses within a short period of time due to increased holiday or other demand, we may experience system interruptions that make our partners e-commerce businesses unavailable or prevent us from
transmitting orders to our fulfillment operations, which may reduce the volume of goods we sell as well as the attractiveness of our partners e-commerce businesses to consumers. In anticipation of increased sales activity during our fourth
quarter, we and our partners increase our inventory levels. If we and our partners do not increase inventory levels for popular products in sufficient amounts or are unable to restock popular products in a timely manner, we and our partners may fail
to meet customer demand which could reduce the attractiveness of our partners e-commerce businesses. Alternatively, if we overstock products, we may be required to take significant inventory markdowns or write-offs, which could reduce profits.

We have expanded into new categories and may expand into additional new categories in the future. If
we do not successfully execute on the expansion of our operations into these new categories, our growth could be limited.



While we have operated in e-commerce since 1999, we did not expand beyond the sporting goods category until 2001. Today, our operations have expanded into
categories including apparel, beauty, consumer electronics, entertainment and home. Each category in which we operate requires unique capabilities and increases the complexity of our business. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue in a
category, we may not be able to cover the incremental staffing and expenses required to support the unique capabilities required by that category. If we do not expand into new categories, there can be no assurance that we will do so successfully.



Consumers are constantly changing their buying preferences.
If we fail to anticipate these changes and adjust our inventory accordingly, we could experience lower sales, higher inventory markdowns and lower margins for the inventory that we own.



Our success depends, in part, upon our ability and our partners
ability to anticipate and respond to consumer trends with respect to products sold through the e-commerce businesses we operate. Consumers tastes are subject to frequent and significant changes. In order to be successful, we and our partners
must accurately predict consumers tastes and avoid overstocking or understocking products. If we and our partners fail to identify and respond to changes in merchandising and consumer preferences, sales on our partners e-commerce
businesses could suffer and we and our partners could be required to mark down unsold inventory. This would depress our profit margins. In addition, any failure to keep pace with changes in consumers tastes could result in lost opportunities
which could reduce sales.



High merchandise returns or
shrinkage rates could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.



We cannot be assured that inventory loss and theft, or shrinkage and merchandise returns will not increase in the future. If merchandise
returns are significant, or our shrinkage rate increases, our revenues and costs of operations could be adversely affected.



Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to add and launch new partners on a timely basis and on favorable terms.



One of the principal components of our growth strategy is to add new
partners. If we are unable to add our targeted number of new partners or if we are unable to add new partners on favorable terms, our growth may be limited. If we are unable to add and launch new partners within the time frames projected by us, we
may not be able to achieve our targeted results in the expected periods. In addition, our ability to add new partners depends on the quality of the services we provide and our reputation. To the extent that we have difficulties with the quality of
services we provide or have operational issues that adversely affect our reputation, it could adversely impact our ability to add new partners. Because competition for new partners is intense, we may not be able to add new partners on favorable
terms, or at all.



Our success is tied to the success of the
partners for which we operate e-commerce businesses.



Our
success is substantially dependent upon the success of the partners for which we operate e-commerce businesses. The retail business in the United States is intensely competitive. If our partners were to have financial difficulties or seek protection
from their creditors or if they were to suffer impairment of their brand, it could adversely affect our ability to maintain and grow our business. Our business could also be adversely affected if our partners marketing, brands or retail stores
are not successful or if our partners reduce their marketing or number of retail stores.



We enter into contracts with our partners. We derived 62% of our revenue in fiscal 2004 from five partners. If we do not maintain good working relationships with our partners, particularly our large partners, or
perform as required under these agreements, it could adversely affect our business.



The contracts with our partners establish complex relationships between our partners and us. We spend a significant amount of time and effort to maintain our relationships with our partners and address the issues that
from time to time may arise from these complex relationships. For fiscal 2004, sales to customers through one of our partners e-commerce businesses accounted for 27% of our revenue, sales through another one of our partners e-commerce
businesses accounted for 13% of our revenue and sales through our top five partners e-commerce businesses accounted for 62% of our revenue. For fiscal 2003, sales to customers through one of our partners e-commerce businesses accounted
for 28% of our revenue, sales to customers through another one of our partners e-commerce businesses accounted for 17% of our revenue, and sales through our top five partners e-commerce businesses accounted for 70% of our revenue. Our
partners could decide not to renew their agreements at the end of their respected terms. Additionally, if we do not perform as required under these agreements or if we breach these agreements, our partners could seek to terminate their agreements
prior to the end of their respective terms or seek damages from us. Loss of our existing partners, particularly our major partners, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We and our partners must develop and maintain relationships with key manufacturers to obtain a
sufficient assortment and quantity of quality merchandise on acceptable commercial terms. If we or our partners are unable to do so, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.



For the e-commerce businesses for which we own inventory, we primarily
purchase products from the manufacturers and distributors of the products. For the e-commerce businesses for which our partners own inventory, our partners typically purchase products from the manufacturers and distributors of products or source
their own products. If we or our partners are unable to develop and maintain relationships with these manufacturers, distributors or sources we or our partners may be unable to obtain or continue to carry a sufficient assortment and quantity of
quality merchandise on acceptable commercial terms and our partners e-commerce businesses and our business could be adversely impacted. We do not have written contracts with some of our suppliers. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we
purchased 48.7% of the total amount of inventory we purchased from one manufacturer. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we purchased 36.9% of the total amount of inventory we purchased from the same manufacturer. While we have a
contract with this manufacturer, this manufacturer and other manufacturers could stop selling products to us or our partners to remove their products or logos from our partners Web sites. If we or our partners are unable to obtain products
directly from manufacturers, especially popular brand manufacturers, we or our partners may not be able to obtain the same or comparable merchandise in a timely manner or on acceptable commercial terms.



We rely on our ability to enter into marketing and promotion agreements
with online services, search engines, directories and other Web sites to drive traffic to the e-commerce businesses we operate. If we are unable to enter into or properly develop these marketing and promotional agreements, our ability to generate
revenue could be adversely affected.



We have entered into
marketing and promotion agreements with online services, search engines, directories and other Web sites to provide content, advertising banners and other links to our partners e-commerce businesses. We expect to rely on these agreements as
significant sources of traffic to our partners e-commerce businesses and to generate new customers. If we are unable to maintain these relationships or enter into new agreements on acceptable terms, our ability to attract new customers could
be harmed. Further, many of the parties with which we may have online advertising arrangements provide advertising services for other marketers of goods. As a result, these parties may be reluctant to enter into or maintain relationships with us.
Failure to achieve sufficient traffic or generate sufficient revenue from purchases originating from third parties may limit our partners and our ability to maintain market share and revenue.



If we experience problems in our fulfillment operations, our business
could be adversely affected.



Although we operate our own
fulfillment center, we rely upon multiple third parties for the shipment of our products. We also rely upon certain vendors to ship products directly to our consumers. As a result, we are subject to the risks associated with the ability of these
vendors and other third parties to successfully and in a timely fulfill and ship customer orders. The failure of these vendors and other third parties to provide these services, or the termination or interruption of these services, could adversely
affect the satisfaction of consumers, which could result in reduced sales by our partners e-commerce businesses.



Under some of our partner agreements, we maintain the inventory or our partners in our fulfillment centers. Our failure to properly handle and protect
such inventory could adversely affect our relationship with our partners.



A disruption in our operations could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.



Any disruption to our operations, including system, network, telecommunications, software or hardware failures, and any
damage to our physical locations, could materially or adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.



Our operations are subject to damage or interruption from:



| |  |  | fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake or other natural disasters;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | power losses, interruptions or brown-outs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Internet, telecommunications or data network failures;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | physical and electronic break-ins or security breaches;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | computer viruses;
| | - |  | -----------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | acts of terrorism; and
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | other similar events.
| | - |  | ---------------------



In any of these events occur, it could result in interruptions, delays or cessations in service to customers of our partners e-commerce businesses
and adversely impact our partners e-commerce businesses. These events could also prevent us from fulfilling orders for our partners e-commerce businesses. Our partners might seek significant compensation from us for their losses. Even if
unsuccessful, this type of claim likely would be time consuming and costly for us to address and damaging to our reputation.



Our primary data centers are located at two facilities of a third-party hosting company. We do not control the security, maintenance or operation of these
facilities, which are also susceptible to similar disasters and problems.



Our insurance policies may not cover us for losses related to these events, and even if they do, may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Any system failure that causes an interruption of the
availability of our partners e-commerce businesses could reduce the attractiveness of our partners e-commerce businesses to consumers and result in reduced revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.



If we do not respond to
rapid technological changes, our services and proprietary technology and systems may become obsolete.



The Internet and e-commerce are constantly changing. Due to the costs and management time required to introduce new services and enhancements, we may be
unable to respond to rapid technological changes in a timely enough manner to avoid our services becoming uncompetitive. To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the functionality and features of our partners e-commerce
businesses. If competitors introduce new services using new technologies or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our partners existing e-commerce businesses and our services and proprietary technology and systems may become
uncompetitive and our ability to attract and retain customers may be at risk.



Developing our e-commerce platform, offering our partners e-commerce businesses and other proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks. We may use new technologies ineffectively or
fail to adapt our e-commerce platform, our partners e-commerce businesses and our technology to meet the requirements of partners and customers or emerging industry standards. Additionally, the vendors we use for our partners e-commerce
businesses may not provide the level of service we expect or may not be able to provide their product or service to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.



Our success is tied to the continued growth in the use of the Internet and the adequacy of the Internet infrastructure.



Our future success is substantially dependent upon
continued growth in the use of the Internet. The number of users and advertisers on the Internet may not increase and commerce over the Internet may not continue to grow for a number of reasons, including:



| |  |  | actual or perceived lack of security of information or privacy protection;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lack of access and ease of use;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | congestion of traffic on the Internet;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | inconsistent quality of service and lack of availability of cost-effective, high-speed service;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | possible disruptions, computer viruses or other damage to the Internet servers or to users computers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | governmental regulation;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainty regarding intellectual property ownership;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lack of high-speed modems and other communications equipment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the cost of accessing the Internet.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



Published reports have also indicated that growth in the use of the Internet has resulted in users experiencing delays, transmission errors and other
difficulties. As currently configured, the Internet may not support an increase in the number or requirements of users. In addition, there have been outages and delays on the Internet as a result of damage to the current infrastructure. The amount
of traffic on our partners Web sites could decline materially if there are outages or delays in the



31

##### Table of Contents

future. The use of the Internet may also decline if there are delays in the development or adoption of modifications by
third parties that are required to support increased levels of activity on the Internet. If any of the foregoing occurs, the number of our partners customers could decrease. In addition, we may be required to spend significant capital to adapt
our operations to any new or emerging technologies relating to the Internet.



Consumers may be unwilling to use the Internet to purchase goods.



Our future success depends heavily upon the general publics willingness to use the Internet as a means to purchase goods. The failure of the
Internet to continue to develop as an effective commercial tool would seriously damage our future operations. If consumers are unwilling to use the Internet to conduct business, our business may not continue to grow. The Internet may not succeed as
a medium of commerce because of security risks and delays in developing elements of the needed Internet infrastructure, such as a reliable network, high-speed modems, high-speed communication lines and other enabling technologies.



Third parties may have the technology or know-how to breach the security of
customer transaction data and confidential information stored on our servers. Any breach could cause customers to lose confidence in the security of our partners e-commerce businesses and choose not to purchase from those businesses. Our
security measures may not effectively prevent others from obtaining improper access to the information on our partners e-commerce businesses. If someone is able to circumvent our security measures, he or she could destroy or steal valuable
information or disrupt the operation of our partners e-commerce businesses. Concerns about the security and privacy of transactions over the Internet could inhibit our growth.



We and/or our partners may be unable to protect our and their proprietary technology and intellectual property rights or
keep up with that of our competitors.



Our success depends
to a significant degree upon the protection of our intellectual property rights in the core technology and other components of our e-commerce platform including our software and other proprietary information, and material, and our ability to develop
technologies that are as good as or better than our competitors. We may be unable to deter infringement or misappropriation of our software and other proprietary information and material, detect unauthorized use or take appropriate steps to enforce
our intellectual property rights. In addition, the failure of our partners to protect their intellectual property rights, including their trademarks and domain names, could impair our operations. Our competitors could, without violating our
intellectual property rights, develop technologies that are as good as or better than our technology. Protecting our intellectual property and other proprietary rights can be expensive. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual
property could make it more expensive to do business and consequently harm our operating results. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights in our software and other information and material or to develop technologies that are as good
as or better than as our competitors could put us at a disadvantage to our competitors. These failures could have a material adverse effect on our business.



We may be subject to intellectual property claims or competition or trade practices claims that could be costly and could
disrupt our business.



Third parties may assert that our
business or technologies infringe or misappropriate their intellectual property rights. Third parties may claim that we do not have the right to offer certain services or products or to present specific images or logos on our partners
e-commerce businesses, or we have infringed their patents, trademarks, copyrights or other rights. We may in the future receive claims that we are engaging in unfair competition or other illegal trade practices. We may be unsuccessful in defending
against these claims, which could result in substantial damages, fines or other penalties. The resolution of a claim could also require us to change how we do business, redesign our service offering or partners e-commerce businesses or enter
into burdensome royalty or license agreements. These license or royalty agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, in the event of a successful claim of infringement. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to
cover every claim that third parties could assert against us. Even unsuccessful claims could result in significant legal fees and other expenses, diversion of managements time and disruptions in our business. Any of these claims could also
harm our reputation.



We may not be able to compete
successfully against current and future competitors, which could harm our margins and our business.



The market for the development and operation of e-commerce businesses is continuously evolving and is intensely competitive. Increased competition could
result in fewer successful opportunities to partner, price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We primarily compete with companies
that can offer a full range of e-commerce services similar to the services we provide through our e-commerce platform, such as the Services Division of Amazon, Digital River, Commerce5, Foot Locker (principally in the sporting goods category) and
ValueVision Media. We also compete with companies that provide some components of an e-commerce solution similar to those that we offer through our e-commerce platform, including Web site developers, third-party



32

##### Table of Contents

consultants and third-party fulfillment and customer service providers. In addition, we compete with companies that
provide components of an e-commerce solution that allow others to develop and operate their e-commerce business in-house. We also compete with online and offline businesses of a variety of retailers and manufacturers in our targeted categories.



Many of our current and potential competitors have longer
operating histories, larger customer base, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. They may be able to secure merchandise from vendors on more favorable terms and may be able to
adopt more aggressive pricing policies. They may also receive investments from or enter into other commercial relationships with large, well-established companies with greater financial resources. Competitors in both the retail and e-commerce
services industries also may be able to devote more resources to technology development and marketing than we do.



We currently do not offer e-commerce services outside of the United States and Canada. Some of our competitors offer international e-commerce services and
our existing and potential partners may find these competitors more attractive for that reason.



Competition in the e-commerce industry may intensify. Other companies in the retail and e-commerce service industries may enter into a business
combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions. Additionally, there are relatively low barriers to entry into the e-commerce market. As various Internet market segments obtain large, loyal customer bases, participants in those
segments may expand into the market segments in which we operate. In addition, new and expanded Web technologies may further intensify the competitive nature of online retail. The nature of the Internet as an electronic marketplace facilitates
competitive entry and comparison shopping and renders it inherently more competitive than conventional retailing formats. This increased competition may reduce our sales, our ability to operate profitably, or both.



We may be subject to product liability claims that could be costly and
time-consuming.



We sell products manufactured by third
parties, some of which may be defective. We also sell some products that are manufactured by third parties for us. If any product that we sell were to cause physical injury or injury to property, the injured party or parties could bring claims
against us as the retailer or manufacturer of the product. These claims may not be covered by our insurance and, even if they are, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover every claim that could be asserted. Similarly, we could be subject
to claims that customers of our partners e-commerce businesses were harmed due to their reliance on our product information, product selection guides, advice or instructions. If a successful claim were brought against us in excess of our
insurance coverage, it could adversely affect our business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds and management time and could have a negative impact on our business.



We may be liable if third parties misappropriate our customers
personal information. Additionally, we are limited in our ability to use and disclose customer information.



Any security breach could expose us to risks of loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations. If third parties are able to
penetrate our network or telecommunications security or otherwise misappropriate our customers personal information or credit card information or if we give third parties improper access to our customers personal information or credit
card information, we could be subject to liability. This liability could include claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. They could also include claims for other misuses of
personal information, including unauthorized marketing purposes. These claims could result in litigation. Liability for misappropriation of this information could be significant. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and state agencies regularly
investigate various companies use of customers personal information. We could incur additional expenses if new regulations regarding the security or use of personal information are introduced or if government agencies investigate our
privacy practices



Credit card fraud and other fraud could
adversely affect our business.



We do not carry insurance
against the risk of credit card fraud and other fraud, so the failure to adequately control fraudulent transactions could increase our expenses. To date, we have not suffered material losses due to fraud. However, we may in the future suffer losses
as a result of orders placed with fraudulent credit card data. Under current credit card practices, we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions because we do not obtain a cardholders signature. With respect to checks and installment
sales, we generally are liable for fraudulent transactions.



If one or more states successfully assert that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of our merchandise, our business could be harmed.



We currently only collect sales or other similar taxes for goods sold by us and shipped into certain states. One or more
local, state or foreign jurisdictions may seek to impose sales tax collection obligations on us or our partners and other out-of-state companies that engage in e-commerce. Recently, certain large retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Target and Toys
R Us, expanded their collection of sales tax on purchases made through affiliated Web sites. Our business could be adversely affected if one or more states or any foreign country successfully asserts that we should collect sales or other
taxes on the sale of merchandise through the e-commerce businesses we operate.

##### Table of Contents

In September 2003, we learned that we, along with several of our partners, were named in an action in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by a private litigant who is alleging that we, along with certain of our partners, wrongfully failed to collect and remit sales and use taxes for sales of personal property to customers in Illinois and
knowingly created records and statements falsely stating we were not required to collect or remit such taxes. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, unpaid taxes, interest, attorneys fees, civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation, and
treble damages under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act. We are aware that this same private litigant has filed similar actions against retailers in other states, and it is possible that we and/or partners may have been or may be
named in similar cases in other states. We do not believe that we are liable under existing laws and regulations for any failure to collect sales or other taxes relating to Internet sales in Illinois and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this
matter. However, we may incur substantial expenses in defending against this claim. In the event of a determination adverse to us, we may incur substantial monetary liability, and be required to change our business practices, either of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.



Existing or future law or regulations could harm our business or marketing efforts.



We are subject to the same federal, state and local laws applicable to businesses in general and to e-commerce specifically. Due to the increasing growth
and popularity of the Internet and e-commerce, many laws and regulations relating to the Internet and online retailing are proposed and considered at the federal, state and local levels. These laws and regulations could cover issues such as
taxation, pricing, content, distribution, quality and delivery of products and services, electronic contracts, intellectual property rights, user privacy and information security.



For example, at least one state has enacted, and other states have proposed, legislation limiting the uses of personal
information collected online or requiring collectors of information to establish procedures to disclose and notify users of privacy and security policies, obtain consent from users for use and disclosure of information, or provide users with the
ability to access, correct and delete stored information. Even in the absence of such legislation, the Federal Trade Commission has settled several proceedings resulting in consent decrees in which Internet companies have been required to establish
programs regulating the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. We could become a party to a similar enforcement proceeding. These regulatory and enforcement efforts could also harm our ability to
collect demographic and personal information from users, which could be costly or adversely affect our marketing efforts.



The applicability of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, intellectual property rights, taxation, libel, obscenity, qualification to
do business and export or import matters could also harm our business. Many of these laws may not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet or online retailing. Some laws that do contemplate or address those unique issues, such as the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, are only beginning to be interpreted by the courts and their applicability and reach are therefore uncertain. These current and future laws and regulations could reduce our ability to
operate efficiently.



From time to time, we may acquire or
invest in other companies. There are risks associated with potential acquisitions and investments and we may not achieve the expected benefits of future acquisitions and investments.



If we are presented with appropriate opportunities, we may make investments in complementary companies, products or
technologies or we may purchase other companies. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any investment or acquisition. We may be subject to unanticipated problems and liabilities of acquired companies. We may not be able to successfully
assimilate the additional personnel, operations, acquired technology or products or services into our business. Any acquisition may strain our existing financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures. If we do not successfully
integrate any acquired business, the expenditures on integration efforts will reduce our cash position without us being able to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition. In addition, key personnel of an acquired company may decide not to
work for us. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. Further, the physical expansion in facilities that could occur as a result of any acquisition may result in
disruptions that could seriously impair our business. Finally, we may have to use our cash resources, incur debt or issue additional equity securities to pay for other acquisitions or investments, which could increase our leverage or be dilutive to
our stockholders.



The consideration we received in exchange
for the sale of certain assets related to Ashford.com, Inc. may be subject to a number of risks.



In connection with the sale of certain assets of Ashford.com to Odimo Acquisition Corp., we received shares of Odimo common stock. Odimo recently became a
public company and a well-established public market for its common stock does not exist. If Odimo fails to perform, the value of the Odimo common stock we hold may decrease below the amount at which we have valued this stock on our balance sheet and
we may be required to take a charge to earnings.

We may expand our business internationally, causing our business to become increasingly susceptible to
numerous international business risks and challenges



We
believe that the current globalization of the economy requires businesses to consider pursuing international expansion. We recently began shipping certain products to Canada and other countries. In the future, we may expand our international
efforts. International sales are subject to inherent risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business, including:



| |  |  | the need to develop new supplier and manufacturer relationships, particularly because major manufacturers may require that our international operations deal with local distributors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with international legal and regulatory requirements and tariffs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | managing fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential adverse tax consequences;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertain political and economic climates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential higher incidence of fraud;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | price controls or other restrictions on foreign currency; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in obtaining export and import licenses and compliance with applicable export controls.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Any negative impact from our international business efforts could negatively impact our business, operating results and
financial condition as a whole. In addition, gains and losses on the conversion of foreign payments into U. S. dollars may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations and fluctuating exchange rates could cause reduced revenues and/or
gross margins from non-dollar-denominated international sales.



In addition, if we expand internationally, we may face additional competition challenges. Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because their greater understanding of, and focus on, the local customer. In addition,
governments in foreign jurisdictions may regulate e-commerce or other online services in such areas of content, privacy, network security, copyright, encryption, taxation, or distribution. We also may not be able to hire, train, motivate and manage
the required personnel, which may limit our growth in international market segments.



The uncertainty regarding the general economy may reduce our revenues.



Our revenue and rate of growth depends on the continued growth of demand for the products offered by our partners, and our business is affected by general
economic and business conditions. A decrease in demand, whether caused by changes in consumer spending or a weakening of the U.S. economy or the local economies outside of the United States where we also sell products, may result in decreased
revenue or growth. Terrorist attacks and armed hostilities create economic and consumer uncertainty that could adversely affect our revenue or growth.



Our success is dependent upon our executive officers and other key personnel.



Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contribution of our executive officers and other key personnel,
particularly Michael G. Rubin, chairman of the board, co-president and chief executive officer. Although we have employment agreements with most of our executive officers and key personnel, these employees could terminate their employment with us at
any time. Due to the competition for highly qualified personnel, we cannot be sure that we will be able to retain or attract executive, managerial or other key personnel. We have obtained key person life insurance for Mr. Rubin in the amount of $9.0
million. We have not obtained key person life insurance for any of our other executive officers or key personnel.



We may be unable to hire and retain skilled technical, operations, merchandising, sales, marketing, and business management personnel which could limit
our growth.



Our future success depends on our ability to
continue to identify, attract, retain and motivate skilled technical, operations, merchandising, sales, marketing and business management personnel. We intend to continue to seek to hire a significant number of skilled personnel. Due to intense
competition for these individuals from our competitors and other employers, we may not be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. Our failure to attract and retain the experienced and highly trained personnel that are
integral to our business may limit our growth.

payments or stock repurchases that are unlawful under Delaware law or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive
officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and executive officer for certain expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts, incurred by any such person in any action or
proceeding, including any action by us or in our right, arising out of the persons services as one of our directors or executive officers. The costs associated with such actions requiring indemnification under these agreements could be harmful
to our business.



If we fail to maintain an effective system
of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders and partners could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business, the
trading price of our common stock and our ability to retain our current partners and obtain new partners.



Beginning in early 2004, we began a process to document and evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting in order to satisfy the requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In this regard, management has been dedicating internal resources, has engaged outside
consultants and had adopted a detailed work plan to (i) assess and document the adequacy of internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) take steps to improve control processes, where appropriate, (iii) validate through testing that controls are
functioning as documented and (iv) implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to correct any issues in the design or operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial
reporting or fail to prevent fraud, current and potential stockholders and partners could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business, the trading price of our common stock and our ability to retain our current partners
and obtain new partners.



A change in accounting standards
for employee stock options is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R Share-Based
Payment, or FAS 123R. FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements bases on their fair values. In addition, FAS 123R will cause unrecognized
expense related to options vesting after the date of initial adoption to be recognized as a charge to results of operations over the remaining vesting period. In April 2005, the SEC delayed the initial adoption of 123R from interim periods that
begin after June 15, 2005, to annual periods. We are continuing to evaluate the requirements of FAS 123R and expect that we will record substantial non cash compensation expense. The adoption of FAS 123R is not expected to have a significant effect
on our financial condition or cash flows but is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.



Risk Related to Our Common Stock



Our operating results have and may continue to fluctuate significantly, which may cause the market price of our common stock to be volatile.



Our annual and quarterly operating results have and may
continue to fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Because our operating results may be volatile and difficult to predict, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a
good indication of our future performance. Our operating results may also fall below our published expectations and the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which likely will cause the market price of our common stock to decline
significantly.



Factors that may cause our operating results to
fluctuate or harm our business include but are not limited to the following:



| |  |  | our ability to obtain new partners or to retain existing partners;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the seasonality of our business, especially the importance of our fiscal fourth quarter to our business;

| |  |  | our inability to obtain or develop specific products or brands or unwillingness of vendors to sell their products to us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of advertising and the amount of free shipping promotions we offer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our operations;

service;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an increase in the level of our product returns or our inability to effectively process returns;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | government regulations related to the Internet or e-commerce which could increase the costs associated with operating our businesses, including requiring the collection of sales tax
on all purchases through the e-commerce businesses we operate; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unfavorable economic conditions in general or specific to the Internet or e-commerce, which could reduce demand for the products sold through our partners e-commerce
businesses.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We have never paid dividends on
our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.



We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be declared or paid in the foreseeable future. As a result, holders of our common stock will not receive a
return, if any, on their investment unless they sell their shares of our common stock.



We are controlled by certain principal stockholders.



As of May 2, 2005, Michael G. Rubin, our chairman, co-president and chief executive officer, beneficially owned 19.5%, entities affiliated with SOFTBANK Capital Partners LP, SOFTBANK Capital LP and SOFTBANK Capital
Advisor Fund LP, or SOFTBANK, beneficially owned 20.7%, and entities affiliated with QVC beneficially owned 20.2% of our outstanding common stock, including warrants and options to purchase common stock, which are exercisable on or before July 1,
2005. If they decide to act together, any two of Mr. Rubin, SOFTBANK, and QVC would be in a position to exercise considerable control, and all

##### Table of Contents

three would be in a position to exercise complete control, over most matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election or removal of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions and the ability generally to direct our affairs. Furthermore, pursuant to the stock purchase agreements, SOFTBANK and QVC each have the right to designate up to two
members of our board of directors. This concentration of ownership and SOFTBANKs and QVCs right to designate members to our board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us, including
transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium over prevailing market prices for our common stock. See Management  Right to Designate Directors. Furthermore, Mr. Rubin has entered into voting agreements with
each of SOFTBANK and QVC, and SOFTBANK and QVC have entered into voting agreements with each other. The parties to these voting agreements have agreed to support the election of the directors designated by each of the other parties. See
Management  Voting Agreements.



It may be
difficult for a third-party to acquire us and this could depress our stock price.



Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve any actual or threatened
change in control. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors may issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series with such terms, rights, preferences and designations as the board may determine
and without any vote of the stockholders, unless otherwise required by law.



In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which, subject to certain exceptions, restricts certain transactions and business combinations between a corporation and a stockholder
owning 15% or more of the corporation s outstanding voting stock for a period of three years from the date the stockholder becomes a 15% stockholder. In addition to discouraging a third party from seeking to acquire control of us, the
foregoing provisions could impair the ability of existing stockholders to remove and replace our management and/or our board of directors.



Because many investors consider a change of control a desirable path to liquidity, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company may reduce
the number of investors interested in our common stock, which could depress our stock price.



See - We are controlled by certain principal stockholders.



The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.



The price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market has been volatile. During fiscal 2004, the high and low sale
prices of our common stock ranged from $7.04 to $18.72 per share. During fiscal 2003, the high and low sale prices of our common stock ranged from $1.55 to $13.05 per share. We expect that the market price of our common stock may continue to
fluctuate.



Our common stock price can fluctuate as a result of
a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others:



| |  |  | our performance and prospects;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | the performance and prospects of our partners;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general financial and other market conditions; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------



In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular
company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.



ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation, as of April 2, 2005, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).



Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that management is timely alerted to material information relating to us during the period when our periodic reports are
being prepared.



Changes in internal control over financial
reporting. We monitor and evaluate on an ongoing basis our internal control over financial reporting in order to improve its overall effectiveness. In the course of these evaluations, we modify and refine our internal processes and controls as
conditions warrant. As required by Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes
occurred during the quarter ended April 2, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the period
covered by this report.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.



We
are involved in various litigation incidental to our current and discontinued businesses, including alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties, contractual claims and claims relating to the manner in which goods are sold
through our e-commerce platform.



While we sold certain assets
of Ashford.com, Inc. in December 2002, Ashford.com continues to be a party to certain litigation that was commenced prior to our acquisition of Ashford.com in March 2002. Since July 11, 2001, several stockholder class action complaints have been
filed in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York against Ashford.com, several of Ashford.coms officers and directors, and various underwriters of Ashford.coms initial public offering. The purported class
actions have all been brought on behalf of purchasers of Ashford.com common stock during various periods beginning on September 22, 1999, the date of Ashford.coms initial public offering. The plaintiffs allege that Ashford.coms
prospectus, included in Ashford.coms Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose, among other things, certain fees and commissions
collected by the underwriters or arrangements designed to inflate the price of the common stock. The plaintiffs further allege that because of these purchases, Ashford.coms post-initial public offering stock price was artificially inflated. As
a result of the alleged omissions in the prospectus and the purported inflation of the stock price, the plaintiffs claim violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
complaints have been consolidated into a single action, and the consolidated cases against Ashford.com have been consolidated with similarly consolidated cases filed against 308 other issuer defendants for the purposes of pretrial proceedings. The
claims against Ashford.coms officers and directors were dismissed in exchange for tolling agreements which permit the refiling of claims against officers and directors at a later date. A motion to dismiss filed on behalf of all issuer
defendants, including Ashford.com, was denied in all aspects relevant to Ashford.com on February 19, 2003. Ashford.com and its insurers have entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding terms for settlement of this suit. Under the
settlement, plaintiffs claims against Ashford.com and other issuers will be dismissed in exchange for certain consideration from the issuers insurers and for the issuers assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims against
the underwriters of the relevant initial public offerings. Formal documentation of the settlement contemplated by the memorandum of understanding is complete and the Judge presiding over this matter has preliminarily approved the settlement. In the
event that a settlement is not finalized, we believe that Ashford.com has defenses against these actions.



In September 2003, we learned that we, along with several of our partners, were named in an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by a
private litigant who is alleging that we, along with certain of our partners, wrongfully failed to collect and remit sales and use taxes for sales of personal property to customers in Illinois and knowingly created records and statements falsely
stating we were not required to collect or remit such taxes. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, unpaid taxes, interest, attorneys fees, civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation, and treble damages under the Illinois Whistleblower
Reward and Protection Act. We are aware that this same private litigant has filed similar actions against retailers in other states, and it may be possible that we and/or our partners may have been or may be named in similar cases in other states.
We do not believe that we are liable under existing laws and regulations for any failure to collect sales or other taxes relating to internet sales and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.



We do not believe, based on current knowledge, that any of the foregoing
claims are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations. However, we may incur substantial expenses and devote substantial time to defend third-party claims whether or not such claims are
meritorious. In the event of a determination adverse to us, we may incur substantial monetary liability, and may be required to implement expensive changes in our business practices or enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements. Any of these
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.
