See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 eB2B COMMERCE, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS On April 18, 2000, eB2B Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("eB2B"), merged with and into DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and an SEC registrant ("DWeb"), with the surviving company using the name "eB2B Commerce, Inc." (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between eB2B and DWeb (the "Merger"), the shareholders of DWeb retained their shares in DWeb, while the shareholders of eB2B received shares, or securities convertible into shares, of common stock of DWeb representing approximately 89% of the equity of the Company, on a fully diluted basis. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a "purchase business combination" in which eB2B is the accounting acquirer and DWeb is the legal acquirer. The management of eB2B remained the management of the Company. As a result of the reverse acquisition, (i) the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the Merger are no longer the historical financial statements of DWeb, and, therefore, DWeb's historical financial statements are no longer presented; (ii) the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the Merger are those of eB2B; (iii) all references to the financial statements of the "Company" apply to the historical financial statements of eB2B prior to the Merger and to the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the Merger; and (iv) any reference to "eB2B" applies solely to eB2B Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its financial statements prior to the Merger. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Also, the stockholders' equity of eB2B as of December 31, 1999 has been recast to give effect to the Merger. Certain other prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The Company has changed its year-end from September 30 to December 31 to conform to eB2B's year-end. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. The Company provides Internet-based, business-to-business e-commerce solutions that facilitate cost-effective end-to-end transactions between buyers and suppliers within specific vertical industries. The Company's services include: providing the necessary infrastructure and operational services to process electronic transactions between buyers and suppliers, and consulting services to businesses that wish to build, operate or outsource their own e-commerce infrastructure. In addition, the Company provides authorized technical education to its client base, and also designs and delivers custom computer and internet-based training seminars. 6 NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS On February 22, 2000, eB2B completed its acquisition of Netlan Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Netlan"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Netlan Merger"), Netlan's stockholders exchanged 100% of their common stock for 46,992 shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 125,000 shares of Company common stock). Additionally, 75,188 shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 200,000 shares of Company common stock) were issued, placed into an escrow account, and may be released to certain former shareholders of Netlan upon successful completion of escrow requirements, including continued employment with the Company. The aggregate value of such shares, or $2,050,000, has been treated as stock-based compensation and is being amortized over the one year vesting period from the date of acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, eB2B incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of professional fees of approximately $332,000, which have been included in the purchase price of the Netlan Merger. A total of approximately $334,000 of the purchase consideration was allocated to other intangibles, including assembled workforce. The remaining purchase consideration, or $4,824,000, was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Netlan have been included in the Company's results of operations since March 1, 2000. As described in Note 1 herein, the Merger of eB2B with and into DWeb was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, utilizing the purchase business combination method of accounting, in which eB2B acquired control of DWeb for accounting purposes and DWeb acquired control of eB2B for legal purposes. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each share of common stock of DWeb remained outstanding and each share of eB2B common stock was exchanged for the equivalent of 2.66 shares of DWeb's common stock. In addition, shares of eB2B preferred stock, warrants and options were exchanged for like securities of DWeb, reflective of the 2.66 to 1 exchange ratio. The purchase price of the Merger was approximately $60.1 million, which primarily represents (i) the number of shares of DWeb's common stock outstanding as of April 18, 2000, the date of the Merger, adjusted for common shares issuable, valued at the market value of DWeb's common stock on December 1, 1999, the date at which the parties signed the definitive merger agreement; (ii) the aggregate market value of the shares of common stock and warrants principally issued to a financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor") (see also Note 5, Related Parties); and (iii) the market value of warrants issued to the Financial Advisor in consideration for the advisory services rendered during the Merger (see also Note 5, Related Parties). In connection with this acquisition, eB2B also incurred transaction costs consisting primarily of professional fees of approximately $343,000, which have been included in the purchase price of the Merger. The purchase price was allocated to those assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of DWeb's net assets as of April 18, 2000. At that date, assets acquired and liabilities assumed had fair values substantially equal to their historic book values. A total of approximately $2.9 million of the purchase consideration was allocated to other intangibles, including assembled workforce and customer list. Also, the Company recorded liabilities totaling $1.1 million principally in relation to the severance provided to certain employees as well as the settlement of a claim existing at the time of the Merger (see Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings). The remaining purchase consideration, or $57.2 million, was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of DWeb have been included in the Company's results of operations since April 19, 2000. The goodwill resulting from the above business combinations is being amortized over five years and other intangibles are being amortized over a three-year period. At September 30, 2000, 7 accumulated amortization related to the goodwill and other intangibles acquired in the Netlan and DWeb acquisitions totaled approximately $6.2 million. The business combinations described above were recorded using management's estimates and preliminary evaluation. The actual purchase price accounting adjustments to reflect the fair value of net assets and the related amortization periods utilized will be based on management's final evaluation, therefore, the information above is subject to change pending the final allocation of purchase price. The following represents the summary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of each of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):
Nine months ended September 30, 2000 1999 ---- ---- Revenue $5,323 $5,531 Net loss (41,179) (26,719) Net loss per common share (3.27) (2.34)
For the purpose of presenting pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company excluded Netlan's computer network design, consulting, implementation, integration, procurement and support activities that had been discontinued on October 31, 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the loss from these discontinued operations was approximately $875,000 and revenue was approximately $5,348,000. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented. In addition the pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that will occur in the future and do not reflect any potential synergies that might arise from combined operations. NOTE 3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share has not been reflected since the assumed conversion of options, warrants and preferred shares would have been antidilutive. Had the Company reported net income at September 30, 2000 and 1999, options and warrants to purchase 21,643,286 and 1,900,570 common shares, and preferred shares convertible into 15,825,665 and 399,000 common shares, respectively, would have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, to the extent they were not antidilutive. The unaudited pro forma net loss per common share presented in Note 2 herein has been computed in the same manner as net loss per common share. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for purposes of presenting net loss per common share on a comparative basis has been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented to reflect the 2.66 to 1 exchange ratio in the reverse acquisition described in Note 2 herein. 8 NOTE 4. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. All other costs incurred in connection with internal use software were expensed as incurred. The useful life assigned to capitalized product development costs should be based on the period such product is expected to provide future utility to the Company. As of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, capitalized product development costs, which have been classified as other assets in the Company's balance sheets, were $449,000 and $738,000, respectively. Total product development costs were approximately $2,456,000 and $548,000, as expensed, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, eB2B abandoned the use of the product development costs capitalized at December 31, 1998, and recorded a $374,000 write-down. NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES A principal and the Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Advisor is a director of the Company. Under an agreement between the Financial Advisor and eB2B, upon completion of the Merger with DWeb on April 18, 2000, the Financial Advisor received a finder's fee equal to 3% of the total number of shares received by eB2B stockholders in the Merger. The fee was paid in the form of 720,282 shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase 502,383 of such shares. The shares of common stock and warrants have been included in the purchase price of the Merger for an aggregate value of approximately $10.1 million (see also Note 2, Acquisitions). The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Also, eB2B issued the Financial Advisor warrants to purchase 470,000 shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 1,250,200 shares of Company common stock) at an exercise price of $5.50 per share (equivalent to $2.07 per share of Company common stock) in consideration for the advisory services rendered during the Merger. These warrants vested upon completion of the Merger on April 18, 2000 and have been included in the purchase price of the Merger, along with 30,000 additional warrants to purchase shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 79,800 shares of Company common stock) granted to a Board member and its affiliate, for an aggregate value of approximately $10.1 million (see also Note 2, Acquisitions). The value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company has been granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 1,330,000 shares of Company common stock) at an exercise price of $5.50 per share (equivalent to $2.07 per share of Company common stock). These options vested upon the completion of the Merger on April 18, 2000. In connection with such options, the Company recorded a one-time charge classified as stock-based compensation expense of approximately $8.8 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. 9 NOTE 6. SEGMENT REPORTING The following information is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which established standards for reporting information about operating segments in the Company's financial statements (in thousands):
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- Revenue Transaction processing and related services $ 950 $ -- $ 2,015 $ -- Training and client educational services 763 -- 1,703 -- ------- ------- -------- ------- $ 1,713 $ -- $ 3,718 $ -- ======= ======= ======== ======= Income (loss) from operations Transaction processing and related services $(1,448) $ (50) $ (4,276) $ (548) Training and client educational services 212 -- 551 -- ------- ------- -------- ------- Total segment operating loss (1,236) (50) (3,725) (548) Corporate (8,102) (1,465) (30,809) (1,929) ------- ------- -------- ------- $(9,338) $(1,515) $(34,534) $(2,477) ======= ======= ======== =======
Transaction processing and related services include revenue for processing transactions and consulting services. Revenue from transaction processing is recognized on a "pay per transaction" basis or based on a monthly subscription charge related to the overall number of transactions during the period. The revenue from these services is recognized in the month in which the services are rendered. Revenue from consulting services is recognized as services are rendered over the contract term. The revenue derived from training and client educational services is recognized as services are rendered for the respective seminars, typically one to five days. Deferred income includes amounts billed for the unearned portion of certain consulting contracts and training seminars. NOTE 7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. SFAS No. 133 established accounting and reporting for derivative and for hedging activities. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 in accordance with SFAS No. 137, which delayed the required implementation of SFAS No. 133 for one year. Additionally, in June 2000, SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133" was issued. The Company is evaluating the impact SFAS No. 133 and 138 will have on its financial statements, if any. In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which summarizes certain of the staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company believes that its revenue recognition principles comply with SAB No. 101. 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this report. It is intended to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial position of the Company. This report contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as "may", "will", "should", "could", "expects", "plans", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "potential", or "continue" or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc.'s ("DWeb") annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999, DWeb's registration statement on Form S-4, effective in March 2000, and the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000. OVERVIEW The Company provides Internet-based, business-to-business e-commerce solutions that facilitate cost-effective end-to-end transactions between buyers and suppliers within specific vertical industries. The Company's services include: providing the necessary technological infrastructure and operational services to process electronic transactions between buyers and suppliers, and related consulting services to businesses that wish to build, operate or outsource their e-commerce infrastructure. In addition, the Company provides authorized technical education to its client base, and also designs and delivers custom computer and internet-based training seminars. Transaction processing and related services include revenue for processing transactions and related consulting services. Revenue from transaction processing is recognized on a "pay per transaction" basis or based on a monthly subscription charge related to the overall number of transactions during the period. The revenue from these services is recognized in the month in which the services are rendered. Revenue from consulting services is recognized as services are rendered over the contract term. The revenue derived from training and client educational services is recognized as services are rendered for the respective seminars, typically one to five days. Deferred income includes amounts billed for the unearned portion of certain consulting contracts and training seminars. On April 18, 2000, eB2B Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("eB2B"), merged with and into DWeb, a New Jersey corporation, with the surviving company using the name "eB2B Commerce, Inc." (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between eB2B and DWeb (the "Merger"), the shareholders of DWeb retained their shares in DWeb, while the shareholders of eB2B received shares, or securities convertible into shares, of common stock of DWeb representing approximately 89% of the equity of the Company, on a fully diluted basis. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. The reverse acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination in which eB2B is the accounting acquirer and DWeb is the legal acquirer. As a result of the reverse acquisition, (i) the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the Merger are no longer the historical financial statements of DWeb, and therefore, DWeb's historical financial statements are no longer presented; (ii) the historical financial statements of the Company for 11 periods prior to the date of the Merger are those of eB2B; (iii) all references to the financial statements of the "Company" apply to the historical financial statements of eB2B prior to the Merger and to the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the Merger; and (iv) any reference to eB2B applies solely to eB2B Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its financial statements prior to the Merger. The purchase price of the Merger was approximately $60.1 million, of which approximately $57.2 was recorded as goodwill and $2.9 million was recorded as other intangibles. On February 22, 2000, eB2B completed its acquisition of Netlan Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Netlan"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Netlan Merger"), Netlan's stockholders exchanged 100% of their common stock for 46,992 shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 125,000 shares of Company common stock). Additionally, 75,188 shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 200,000 shares of Company common stock) were issued, placed into an escrow account, and may be released to certain former shareholders of Netlan upon successful completion of escrow requirements, including continued employment with the Company. The purchase price of the Netlan Merger was approximately $5.2 million. The Company recorded approximately $4,824,000 million of goodwill and approximately $334,000 million of other intangibles in connection with this transaction. The goodwill resulting from the above business combinations is being amortized over five years and other intangibles are being amortized over a three-year period. At September 30, 2000, accumulated amortization related to the goodwill and other intangibles acquired in the Netlan and DWeb acquisitions totaled approximately $6.2 million. The Company has changed its year-end from September 30 to December 31 to conform to eB2B's year-end. The Company's financial condition and results from operations were dramatically different during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. eB2B did not recognize any revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. eB2B was a development stage company, which primarily devoted its operations to recruiting and training of employees, development of its business strategy, design of a business system to implement its strategy, and development of business relationships with buyers and suppliers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's results reflect the new operations of the Company, the operations of Netlan since March 1, 2000 and the operations of DWeb since April 19, 2000. As a result, the Company believes that the results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not comparable to the results of operations for the same periods in 2000 and the Company's anticipated financial condition and results of operations going forward. Furthermore, the Company's limited operating history makes the prediction of future operating results very difficult. The Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of operating results should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. The Company may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 Total revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $1,713,000 and $3,718,000, respectively. During both periods in 1999, the Company was a development stage company and did not recognize any revenue. 12 The Company's transaction processing and related services reportable segment generated revenue of $950,000 and $2,015,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively. Such revenue includes fees paid for processing transactions between buyers and suppliers and related consulting revenue. The Company provides authorized technical education to its client base, and also designs and delivers custom computer and internet-based training through its training and client educational services' reportable segment. This segment generated revenues of $763,000 and $1,703,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. In the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, one customer accounted for approximately 20% and 16% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. Cost of revenue consists primarily of salaries and benefits for employees providing customer support and implementation services as well as salaries and benefits of personnel providing consulting and training services to clients. Total cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $855,000 and $1,991,000, respectively. Marketing and selling expenses consist primarily of employee salaries, benefits and commissions, and the costs of promotional materials, trade shows and other sales and marketing programs. Marketing and selling expenses (exclusive of stock-based compensation) were approximately $1,007,000 and $2,023,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. Product development expenses consist primarily of payments to outside contractors and personnel and related costs associated with the development of the Company's technological infrastructure necessary to process transactions, including the amortization of certain capitalized costs. Product development expenses (exclusive of stock-based compensation) were approximately $672,000 and $2,456,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company capitalizes qualifying computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that products development expenses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as various milestones in the development are reached and future versions are implemented. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee salaries and related expenses for executives, administrative and finance personnel, as well as other consulting, legal and professional fees, and, to a lesser extent, facility and communication costs. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, total general and administrative expenses (exclusive of stock-based compensation) amounted to $3,857,000 and $10,722,000, respectively. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, non-recurring severance charges chiefly associated with severance awarded to two officers of the Company totaled approximately $600,000. During the first six months of 2000, non-recurring outside contractor and consulting fees in relation with the design and the implementation of the Company's strategy and management structure totaled approximately $2.2 million. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately 86 full time equivalent employees ("FTE's") as compared to approximately 123 FTE's as of June 30, 2000. Such reduction is primarily attributable to efficiencies gained through the consolidation of the companies acquired during the first four months of 2000. Annualized savings from the reduction in FTE's are approximately $2.0 million. 13 During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company entered into a lease for new corporate office space expiring in April 2007. In October 2000, the Company consolidated all its current locations into the new space. It is anticipated that this consolidation will allow the Company to continue streamlining its operations and reducing its overall cost structure in the fourth quarter of 2000. However, there can be no assurance that these costs savings will be realized. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles are non-cash charges associated with the DWeb and Netlan business combinations. Such amortization expenses were $3,368,000 and $6,195,000 for the three and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively. The Company expects to incur quarterly non-cash charges through March 2003 of approximately $3.4 million corresponding to the amortization of such goodwill and other intangibles. Between June 2003 and March 2005, the quarterly amortization expense related to the Dweb and Netlan business combinations is expected to be approximately $3.1 million. The Company is still refining its purchase price allocation and some adjustments may be recorded in the future, which might affect the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles or the periods used for amortization purposes. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, stock-based compensation expense amounted to $1,292,000 and $14,865,000, respectively. The deferred stock compensation is being amortized over the vesting periods of the related options and warrants contingent upon continued employment of the respective option or warrant holders. The vesting period of the options and warrants ranges principally from two to four years with the exception of 500,000 options to purchase shares of eB2B common stock (equivalent to 1,330,000 shares Company common stock) which vested upon the completion of the Merger and generated a one-time charge of approximately $8.8 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. The balance of unearned stock-based compensation at September 30, 2000 was approximately $4,705,000. This balance will be amortized at varying amounts per quarter through March 2002. Interest and other, net amounted to $160,000 and $725,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively. Such income, net of other expenses, related primarily to interest earned on private placement proceeds (See Liquidity and Capital Resources). Net loss for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 was $9,178,000 and $33,809,000, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,516,000 and $2,482,000 for the same respective periods in 1999. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, the Company expensed non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, write-down of assets and the cost of shares and warrants issued for services aggregating $5,581,000 and $23,920,000, respectively, compared to $1,109,000 and $1,674,000 for the same respective periods in 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since its inception on November 6, 1998, the Company has incurred significant operating losses, net losses and negative cash flows from operations, due in large part to the start-up and development of its operations and the development of technological infrastructure to process transactions. The Company expects that its net losses and negative cash flows from operations will continue as it implements its growth strategy. Historically, the Company has funded its losses and capital expenditures through borrowings, capital contributions, and a portion of the net proceeds of prior securities offerings. Since inception, net proceeds of private sales of common stock and preferred stock totaled $29.9 million, of which net proceeds of $29.4 million were 14 received in a private placement of Series B preferred stock in December 1999 at the equivalent of $2.07 per share of Company common stock. Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $7,041,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $165,000 for the same period in 1999. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted primarily from the $33,809,000 net loss in the period offset by (i) an aggregate of $23,920,000 of non-cash charges consisting primarily of depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and (ii) a combined $3,847,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses mainly attributable to the acquisition of software licenses and, to a lesser extent, billings from outside contractors working on the development of the Company's infrastructure necessary to process transactions. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled approximately $11,569,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $239,000 for the same period in 1999. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted from the $15,986,000 net proceeds from maturity of investments available-for-sale and the $419,000 net effect of the DWeb and Netlan business combinations, mainly cash acquired, offset by (i) the acquisition of software licenses for $2,200,000 and the purchase of capital assets for $989,000, primarily computer and office equipment, and (ii) $1,647,000 in product development costs consisting of fees of outside contractors and capitalized salaries. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $409,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $457,000 for the same period in 1999. In February 2000, eB2B obtained a $2,500,000 term loan from a bank (the "Bank"). The term loan has a term of three years, is interest-only until December 1, 2000, and bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1%. Beginning December 1, 2000, the term loan requires ten quarterly principal payments of $250,000. The proceeds from the term loan were primarily used to refinance the $2,116,000 debt of Netlan paid by eB2B in connection with the merger with Netlan. The Company has also obtained a $6.0 million line of credit with the Bank. No amounts were borrowed under the line of credit as of September 30, 2000. However, the line of credit secures approximately $1.25 million of letters of credit that are outstanding at September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, the Company's principal source of liquidity is approximately $14.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2000, the Bank held a custody account with approximately $9.7 million as security on the term loan and line of credit with the Bank. The Company expects to be able to reduce the line of credit to $1.25 million, the amount of outstanding letters of credit. It is anticipated that the security will be reduced to equal the outstanding term loan balance and letters of credit in the amount of $3.75 million during the fourth quarter. As the quarterly installments on the term loan are made, it is anticipated that the required balance will be reduced accordingly. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had commitments for software licenses in the amount of $2.2 million, of which $0.5 million were paid in October 2000. The Company anticipates that the remaining $1.7 million in license fees and approximately $1.1 million in development fees will be paid during the first six months of 2001. Additionally, the Company has committed to a maintenance contract of $0.4 million, which is expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2001. 15 Also, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company entered into several non-cancelable lease commitments for new office space and computer equipment that will require payments of $6.1 million over the next five years. As of September 30, 2000, the accounts payable balance included approximately $0.3 million for additional leasehold improvements related to the new office space. This amount was paid during October 2000. The Company anticipates spending approximately $2.0 million on capital expenditures over the next twelve months, primarily on capitalized product development costs, including the $1.1 million in development fees noted above, and technology infrastructure. In order to continue the Company's growth plan, which includes the expansion into additional vertical industries, the Company anticipates the need to raise additional funds during the next twelve months through public or private financing, or other arrangements. Additional funding might not be available on reasonable terms or at all. In the event that the Company fails to secure the necessary capital to continue its growth plan into other vertical industries, the Company anticipates modifying its plans, scaling back its expansion and downsizing the operations to conserve necessary capital. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully scale back the operations. Failure to raise capital when needed, or to successfully implement the aforementioned actions, could harm the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 16 PART II.
