NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year-ended December 31, 1999.
2. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, all of which are
located in Europe, have been translated at current exchange rates, and
related revenues and expenses have been translated at average rates of
exchange in effect during the year. Cumulative translation adjustments
have been classified within other comprehensive income (loss), which is
a separate component of stockholders' equity in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
3. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement requires companies
to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the
values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use
of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS
133 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31,
2001. Management believes that this Statement will not have a
significant impact on the Company.
4. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted

5. Subsequent Events
On August 2, 2000, the Company and PC-Ware Information
Technologies AG ("PC-Ware") of Leipzig, Germany executed a letter of
intent, which contemplates the purchase by PC-Ware of 100% of the stock
of the Company's European subsidiaries for 14.5 million Euros, of
which approximately 70% will be paid in cash at the time of closing and
the remainder in shares of PC-Ware. Under the terms of the letter of
intent, a definitive purchase agreement must be executed by October 23,
2000.
On August 10, 2000, the Company and PNC Bank, National Association (the
"Lender") entered into a forbearance agreement ("Forbearance
Agreement") whereby (i) the Lender has agreed to forbear from
exercising its rights and remedies arising as a result of defaults then
outstanding until December 31, 2000 (unless certain other events of
default occur prior to such date), (ii) the amount the Company can
borrow has been reduced from $7.5 million to the lesser of (x) $2
million and (y) 60% of certain of the Company's accounts receivable,
(iii) the expiration date has been extended to December 31, 2000 and
(iv) the Company paid a fee of $40,000 to the Lender and a field audit
cost of about $9,000.
Under the Forbearance Agreement the amount borrowed bears
interest at PNC's Prime Rate (8.5% at August 10, 2000) plus 1%. As of
August 10, 2000, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
approximately $328,000 under the Letter Agreement.

Net Sales
Net sales of the Company represents the gross consolidated revenue of
the Company less returns. Although net sales consist primarily of sales of
software, revenue from marketing services and advertising is also included
within net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 decreased by
$8.8 million or 15%, to $51.9 million, over the same period in 1999. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, net sales decreased by $13.5 million or 11% over the
six months ended June 30, 1999. The decline in revenue for both periods is
primarily attributed to a change in the buying patterns of our larger European
customers and a new sales directive to increase our non-Microsoft publisher base
of products.
Direct sales revenues decreased by 24% or $9.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Sales increased
by 8% or $0.3 million in the United States, while sales decreased in Europe by
27% or $9.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, Direct sales
decreased by 21% or $15.4 million for the comparable period in 1999. The decline
in revenue is attributable to the change in the buying patterns of our larger
European customers.
Consolidated Catalog and Telemarketing revenues slightly decreased 3%
or $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Catalog sales in the
United States decreased by 10% or $1.4 million, while Canadian Catalog sales
increased by 19% or $0.3 million. European Catalog sales grew by 15% or $0.6
million. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, Catalog revenues slightly
increased by 1% or $0.4 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Revenues for the Distribution channel increased 18% or $0.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
Distribution revenues increased by 16% or $1.4 million for the comparable period
in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from new publisher distribution
agreements signed in the United States and Europe.
Consolidated Internet sales revenues increased by 18% or $0.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, Internet revenues increased 31% year
over year. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to increased
product offerings on the Company's website, as well as the increased number of
titles available for download.
Page 8
Geographically, approximately 58% and 64% of the revenues were derived
from the European operations for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 these percentages
amount to approximately 59% and 65%, respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents the difference between net sales and costs of
sales. Cost of sales is composed primarily of amounts paid by the Company to
publishers and vendors plus catalog printing and mailing costs. Publisher and
vendor rebates are credited against cost of sales. For the three-month period
ended June 30, 2000, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 12.3 %
to 9.7% over the same period in 1999. Gross profit in absolute dollars for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2000 decreased by $2.4 million over the same
period of the previous year. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the gross
profit decreased by $3.8 million or 27% for the same comparable period in 1999.
These decreases are mainly attributable to a shift in sales mix through the
Company's distribution channels as a result of additional competitive pressures
within the direct sales channel.
The mix of products sold and the mix of distribution channels have
affected gross margins. Historically, the gross margins attained in the catalog
channel have been higher than either the direct sales or distribution channels.
Margins within the direct sales channel are also subject to mix variations as
Microsoft Select License sales typically produce lower gross margin results. The
emergence of the Internet as a viable commerce channel has provided the Company
another competitive means to reach its customer base and compete more
effectively in the market place.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include all
corporate personnel costs (including salaries and health benefits), depreciation
and amortization, non-personnel-related marketing and administrative costs and
the provision for doubtful accounts. Depreciation and amortization consists
primarily of equipment depreciation and leasehold improvements amortization.
SG&A expenses increased by 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. SG&A expenses in absolute dollars for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2000 increased by $0.3 million when compared
to the same period in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, SG&A
expenses increased by $1.2 million or 11% for the comparable period in 1999.
This increase mainly reflects additional compensation expense and related
recruiting fees associated with Corporate sales, Catalog marketing and Internet
teams.
Geographically, the North America operation of the Company accounted
for approximately 49% and 47% of total SG&A expenditure for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, these percentages are approximately 52% and 43%, respectively.
Page 9
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense includes the systematic write-off of goodwill.
Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased by
$92,000 as compared to the same period in 1999. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, amortization expense increased by $138,000 as compared to the same
period in 1999. This increase reflects the amortization of the additional
capitalized software purchased toward the end of 1999 in the United States, as
well as a one time write off of the goodwill associated with a customer database
in France of $71,000.
Interest, net
Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
to $11,000 compared to $25,000 for the same period in 1999. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, net interest expense was $11,000 compared to interest
income of $39,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase for the six
month period ended June 30, 2000 is attributable to the costs associated with
the borrowings under the line of credit.
Realized foreign exchange gain (loss)
Realized foreign exchange gain for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was $33,000 compared to $220,000 in the same period in 1999. The realized gain
during 1999 was due to the repayment of the Dutch Guilder loan. This repayment
resulted in a realized foreign exchange gain of approximately $185,000. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000, the realized foreign exchange gain was $20,000
as compared to $201,000 for the same comparable period in 1999.
Unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss)
Unrealized foreign exchange loss for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $177,000 compared to a unrealized foreign exchange gain of $58,000 in
the same period in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the unrealized
foreign exchange loss was $236,000 as compared to a gain of $285,000 for the
comparable period in 1999. The Company does not hedge its net asset exposure to
fluctuations in the US Dollar against any such local currency exchange rates.
Although the Company does maintain bank accounts in local currencies to reduce
currency exchange fluctuations, the Company is, nevertheless, subject to risks
associated with such fluctuations.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $385,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to a provision for income taxes of
$845,000 for the same period in 1999. As a percentage of income before taxes the
effective tax rate for income tax decreased from 47% in 1999 to 27% in 2000. For
the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a benefit for income
taxes of $793,000 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $1,448,000 for
the comparable period in 1999. For the six months, effective tax rate decreased
from 43% in 1999 to 31% in 2000. The fluctuations in the Company's effective tax
rate reflect the negative impact of certain unprofitable international
subsidiaries whose current period losses had no offsetting tax benefits.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $1,044,000 or $.21 per
share on a diluted basis with approximately 4,984,000 weighted average common
shares outstanding compared to net income of $963,000 or $.17 per share on a
diluted basis with approximately 5,555,000 weighted average common shares
outstanding for the same period of the previous year. For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, net loss was $1,744,000 or $.35 per share on a diluted basis with
approximately 4,982,000 weighted average common shares outstanding compared to
net income of $1,951,000 or $.36 per share on a diluted basis with approximately
5,483,000 weighted average common shares outstanding for the same comparable
period in 1999.
Page 10
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital needs have been to fund the working
capital requirements created by its continued expansion and enhancement of its
sales distribution channels. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.7
million and net working capital of $13.3 million at June 30, 2000.
Net cash used for operations was $7.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared with $9.8 million of cash used for operating activities
in the same period of the previous year. Cash was primarily used for a reduction
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (approximately $14.2 million) and
other current liabilities (approximately $4.6 million) and offset by the
decrease in accounts receivable (approximately $11.5 million).
Net cash used for financing was $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $0.4 million in the same period of the previous year.
The current years activity reflects the repayments under the Company's line of
credit.
Net cash used for investing activities remained flat at $0.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared with $0.6 million for the same
period in 1999. Cash was primarily used to purchase fixed assets and capitalized
software.
The Company and PNC Bank, National Association (the "Lender") entered
into a letter agreement, dated February 24, 1998 (the "Letter Agreement"),
providing for a line of credit of up to $7.5 million. The Company and the Lender
executed amendment no. 1 to the Letter Agreement, dated June 30, 1999, which
extended the expiration date to March 31, 2000. The Company and the Lender
executed a second amendment, dated March 31, 2000, which extended the expiration
date to June 30, 2000.
On August 10, 2000, the Company and the Lender entered into a
forbearance agreement ("Forbearance Agreement") whereby (i) the Lender has
agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies arising as a result of
defaults then outstanding until December 31, 2000 (unless certain other events
of default occur prior to such date), (ii) the amount the Company can borrow has
been reduced from $7.5 million to the lesser of (x) $2 million and (y) 60% of
certain of the Company's accounts receivable, (iii) the expiration date has been
extended to December 31, 2000 and (iv) the Company paid a fee of $40,000 to the

Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements in
this report regarding future events or conditions, including statements
regarding industry prospects and the Company's expected financial position,
business and financing plans, are forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the Company's expectations are disclosed in this report
as well as the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and include
risks and uncertainties related to the continued acceptance of the Company's
distribution channel by vendors and customers, the timely availability and

The Company operates in a rapidly changing business, and new risk
factors emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict every risk factor,
nor can it assess the impact, if any, of all such risk factors on the Company's
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
a prediction of actual results and readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their
dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
