BUSINESS OF ISSUER
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
The success of the Internet in streamlining business-to-consumer
transactions is leading companies to seek similar efficiencies in their
business-to-business transactions. Companies are increasingly seeking to
improve their operating efficiency through electronic commerce solutions.
Forrester Research estimates that U.S.-based business-to-business electronic
commerce will increase from $109 billion in 1999 to $1.03 trillion in 2003,
and that by 2003 the market for business-to-business transactions will be more
than ten times larger than the business-to-consumer transactions market.
Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") is a specific form of electronic
commerce, consisting of a standard protocol for electronic transmission of data
between a company and a third party. In an EDI transaction, the computers of the
buyer and seller communicate and exchange the relevant information using an
agreed-upon or standard format. A typical example of EDI is electronically
placing a purchase order for merchandise with a vendor, and having the vendor
electronically confirm the order and produce an invoice when the goods are
shipped. In an earlier stage of electronic commerce, companies that wanted to
conduct business electronically were required to have a special type of computer
network called a value-added computer network or "VAN."
The emergence of the Internet as an additional means of conducting
electronic commerce has revolutionized the way businesses operate and interact
with their customers and trading partners by creating new, highly efficient
channels of communication and distribution. The Internet gives small to
medium-size buyers and sellers access to the efficiencies associated with
traditional EDI systems. In
3
addition, the Internet enables buyers and sellers to interact with a greater
number of potential trading partners.
OUR COMPANY'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our business is providing services and software that facilitate
business-to-business e-commerce between buyers and sellers of direct goods,
which are the goods or materials that businesses utilize in their core business.
For instance, a tire purchased by an automobile manufacturer is a direct good.
Conversely, a fax machine purchased by the same company, for general use in the
office, is an indirect good.
Our services fall into two general categories:
e-commerce network services, including network development and
transaction/subscription processing, where we provide the necessary
infrastructure (hardware, software and communications links) and
operational services to facilitate electronic transactions between
buyers and sellers; and
professional consulting services where we provide expertise to
businesses that wish to build and/or operate their own e-commerce
infrastructure.
We market and sell four principal electronic commerce technology solutions:
(1) EDIxchangeBuy'sm' and EDIxchangeSell'sm'
EDIxchangeBuy and EDIxchangeSell include the design, development and
implementation of customized business-to-business e-commerce web sites. These
web sites facilitate e-commerce between buyers and sellers of direct goods,
resulting in improved inventory, increased customer satisfaction, and improved
productivity within a supply chain. The service allows our customer's EDI
systems to communicate with other systems that do not use EDI. The service
translates between purchase orders delivered over EDI systems and purchase
orders sent via basic web browsers like Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
In addition, this service supports the use of a broad array of documents,
including catalogs with product information such as prices, descriptions and
other data codes. The availability of this documentation enables customers to
easily update, modify and customize their purchases.
(2) EDIxchangeOutsource'sm'
EDIxchangeOutsource includes the data processing equipment, software and
technical people needed to manage and operate an EDI infrastructure. These
services include security, mapping, translation, mail boxing and routing of
business documents between our customers, their EDI computer networks and their
trading partners. In essence, our company acts as an off-site EDI department on
a customer's behalf. This service offers the flexibility both to process
received (inbound) business documents in any format, and to send out (outbound)
the same documents in the trading partner's specific requested format. The
service can manage and optimize a client's entire EDI operation without
4
the requirement for specialized software, personnel or training.
(3) EDIxchangeConnect'sm'
EDIxchangeConnect, a combination of electronic commerce software and
services, is developed for businesses that require their older computer systems
to handle EDI transactions. The software formats electronic transactions, such
as purchase orders, invoices and shipment notifications, into commonly preferred
data formats. Combined with our company's EDIxchangeOutsource service,
EDIxchangeConnect provides a powerful e-commerce solution that is easy to
implement.
(4) EDIxchangeSupport'sm'
EDIxchangeSupport is a portfolio of professional consulting services
provided to customers who wish to augment their in-house electronic commerce
resources. EDIxchangeSupport includes consulting provided on-site and from other
locations. It is focused on developing and implementing electronic commerce,
communications between new and old computer systems, application integration,
distribuion logistics and translations between EDI and other types of data.
DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our company believes that the most likely users of our services are
companies that are committed to aggressively using electronic commerce to
improve their productivity. Since EDI is a fundamental part of business-to-
business electronic commerce, we have focused our marketing efforts on existing
users of EDI. In addition, we are able to determine likely prospects by studying
industry and financial analyses of EDI companies and the industry in general.
EDIxchangeBuy and EDIxchangeSell are services targeted specifically at
large companies and their suppliers. The target market for EDIxchangeOutsource
consists primarily of middle market suppliers, who are forced to manage the
complexity of EDI compliance with their various customers. EDIxchangeOutsource,
supported by our EDIxchangeNetwork, leverages the knowledge of the trading
requirements of major enterprises to benefit multiple suppliers. In addition,
the overall cost of EDI management is reduced by the shared connections to our
company's services, and by our highly specialized customer service.
Our company's sales strategy is to utilize a highly qualified and focused
sales force to target early adopters and EDI-capable enterprises, such as the
drug store industry and certain specialty retail market segments. In addition,
our company markets in traditional electronic commerce venues, such as
electronic commerce trade shows and exhibitions.
COMPETITION
The electronic commerce, EDI network services and computer software markets
are highly competitive. The principal competitors in the electronic commerce
software and services markets are Harbinger Corporation, Sterling Commerce,
Inc., General Electric Company's GE Information Services subsidiary, Netscape
Corporation, America Online, Inc., Open Market, Inc., InterWorld Corp.,
5
PurchasePro, Inc., Ariba, Inc., Commerce One, Inc., BroadVision, Inc.,
ConnectInc.com, International Business Machines Corporation, Microsoft
Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation and MCI WorldCom, Inc. Each of
those companies is engaged in, or has announced plans to engage in, providing
software products and services that facilitate electronic commerce over the
Internet.
Competition from Internet-based competitors may also be significant. The
market for Internet software and services is emerging and highly competitive. It
ranges from small companies with limited resources to large companies with
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than our
company. Management of our company believes that existing competitors are likely
to expand the range of their electronic commerce services to include Internet
access, and that new competitors, which may include telephone companies and
media companies, are increasingly likely to offer services that utilize the
Internet to provide business-to-business data transmission services. Also, in
the future our company expects the major on-line service companies, such as
America Online, Inc., CompuServe and Prodigy Communications Corp., to enhance
their services to include certain aspects of electronic commerce.

EDIxchangeSupport consulting services.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
To protect our proprietary products, our company relies primarily on a
combination of copyright, patent, trade secret and trademark laws, as well as
confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. On March 16, 1999, a
patent number was assigned to our company's NetCat software. In addition, our
company owns the United States trademark registrations of its DynamicWeb,
NetCat, EDIxchange and ECbridgeNet trademarks. Our company also has on file with
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office pending applications for registration of
the DWEB and EXTENDING THE ENTERPRISE trademarks. In addition, our company owns
a copyright registration for our company's ordering system, and may have a right
to assert copyright protection for additional works, including software.
Despite our company's efforts to protect our proprietary rights,
unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our company's products or to
obtain and use information that our company regards as proprietary. There can be
no assurance that our company's means of protecting its proprietary rights will
be adequate or that competitors will not independently develop similar or
superior technology. Our company believes that, due to the rapid pace of
innovation within the electronic commerce, EDI and related software industries,
factors such as the technological and creative skills of its personnel are more
important in establishing and maintaining a leadership position within the
electronic commerce industry than are the various legal protections of its
technology. Our company does not believe that any of its products infringe upon
the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance, however,
that third parties will not claim infringement by our company with respect to
current or future products. From time to time, our company has received notices
which allege, directly or indirectly, that our company's products or services
infringe the rights of others. Our company generally has been able to address
these allegations without material cost. Our company expects that software
product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the
number of products and competitors in electronic commerce grows and the
functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such
claims, irrespective of their merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, cause product shipment delays, require our company to enter into
royalty or licensing agreements, or prevent our company from using certain
technologies. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to our company or at all, which could have a
material adverse effect.
Our company currently has in place confidentiality and non-competition
agreements with all fifty-two (52) of its employees. Our company has adopted a
policy of requiring that all future employees sign appropriate confidentiality
agreements and, where appropriate, non-competition agreements.
7
Our company's proprietary Internet software is written in Practical
Extraction and Reporting Language (known as "PERL"), which is the computer
program language utilized for Internet applications. Because the Internet is not
controlled or supervised by any one person or group, the evolution and continued
utilization of PERL cannot be controlled or predicted. Changes in or the
elimination of PERL could cause our company to have to assume responsibility for
support and development of that software.
Our company currently licenses proprietary data encryption and
authentication software from RSA Data Security, Inc. The RSA Data Security, Inc.
software, which is licensed to our company from Community ConneXion, Inc., is
incorporated in certain other software related to the Web server utilized by our
company. The RSA Data Security, Inc. software is available on a non-exclusive
basis. No assurance can be given that the encryption software presently
available will continue to be available to our company on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, there is no assurance that, if a new
encryption technology develops, it will be available to our company on
commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Our company also licenses: credit-card verification software from
Cybercash, Inc. on a non-exclusive basis; data transformation software from
Mercator Software Pty Ltd. on a non-exclusive basis; EDI translator software
from the Gentran product line of Sterling Commerce, Inc. on a non-exclusive
basis; and database software from Oracle Corporation on a non-exclusive basis.
REQUISITE GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL; EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
Our company's network services are transmitted to customers over dedicated
and public telephone lines. These transmissions are governed by regulatory
policies establishing charges and terms for communications. Our company's
business and products could experience adverse impacts as a result of changes in
the legislation and regulations relating to on-line services, EDI, the Internet
access industry, telecommunication costs, competition in the telecommunications
industry and international competition. Management believes that our company is
in material compliance with all applicable regulations.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our company spent approximately $534,000 in the year ended September 30,
1999 and $412,000 in the year ended September 30, 1998 for the research and
development of products. To reduce product development time and expense, if
appropriate, our company has incorporated into its products certain software
licensed to it by other software developers.
Our company continues to assess the needs of trading partners in various
trading communities and to develop software programs and network services to
facilitate electronic commerce transactions over the EDIxchange Network. Our
company's product development efforts currently are focused on providing a full
range of electronic commerce solutions to new and existing customers.
Specifically, our company is in various stages of developing other software
applications, bar code integration to facilitate the shipping and receiving of
goods, and catalog-based solutions.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
CURRENT CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Our company was initially incorporated in 1979 in the State of New Jersey
under the name Seahawk Oil International, Inc. In March 1996, we entered the
electronic commerce business through the acquisition of DynamicWeb Transaction
Systems, Inc. In connection with this acquisition, our company was renamed
"DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc." In November 1996, our company acquired Megascore,
Inc., an accounting software company, and Software Associates, Inc., a company
involved in electronic commerce, while in May 1998, our company acquired Design
Crafting, Inc., a provider of electronic commerce consulting services. As of
September 1998, as a result of these acquisitions, our company had a business
structure that was composed of a parent company (DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc.),
and four subsidiaries (DynamicWeb Transaction Systems, Inc., Software
Associates, Inc., Megascore, Inc. and Design Crafting, Inc.). On September 30,
1998, our company merged all of its subsidiaries into the parent company. No
changes in our corporate structure occurred between October 1, 1998 and
September 30, 1999.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On September 21, 1999, our company entered into a strategic cooperative
marketing agreement with PurchasePro.com, Inc. Our company has products that
facilitate business-to-business e-commerce between buyers and sellers, and
PurchasePro.com, Inc. has products that focus on procurement over the Internet.
The goal of the alliance between our company and PurchasePro.com, Inc. is to
increase the efficiency of our customers' communications with suppliers and
their competitive bid procurement processes.
On December 1, 1999, our company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with eB2B Commerce, Inc., a company engaged in business-to-business
e-commerce. The merger agreement followed the execution by our company and eB2B
Commerce, Inc. of a letter of intent, dated November 10, 1999, as amended
November 19, 1999. Under the merger agreement, subject to a number of conditions
described below, eB2B Commerce, Inc. will merge into our company in a tax-free
merger and reorganization. At the time the merger is consummated:
Our company will issue approximately forty (40) million registered
shares of its capital
9
stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of eB2B Commerce, Inc. The holders of preferred stock and other
convertible securities of eB2B Commerce, Inc. will receive preferred
stock and convertible securities, including warrants and options, of
our company having similar terms and conditions.
All of the directors and executive officers of our company will be
replaced by the directors and officers of eB2B Commerce, Inc., except
that our company will have the right to appoint one director of the
surviving company and our chief executive officer, Steven L.
Vanechanos, Jr., will become the chief technology officer of the
surviving company. As chief technology officer of the surviving
company, Steven L. Vanechanos, Jr. will receive an employment
agreement from the surviving company with: (1) a two-year term; (2) a
base salary of $170,000 and a minimum annual guaranteed bonus of
$40,000; (3) four weeks of vacation, and (4) severance pay equal to
two years of base compensation in the event that the surviving company
terminates his employment without cause.
eB2B Commerce, Inc. will have received a minimum of $15 million in
gross proceeds in a private placement of its securities. In fact, eB2B
Commerce, Inc. has recently closed on a private placement which raised
$33 million in gross proceeds.
The officers, directors and principal shareholders of our company who
own unregistered shares of our company's capital stock must enter into
"lock-up" agreements in which they agree not to sell, assign or
transfer their shares for the later of twelve (12) months after the
merger, or twelve (12) months after the closing of a qualified public
or private offering of more than $20 million in gross proceeds that
occurs within the initial twelve (12) month period after the merger.
Until the completion of the first audit of the surviving company,
Steven L. Vanechanos, Jr. will indemnify the surviving corporation for
damages resulting from any material breach by our company of the
merger agreement or any materially inaccurate representation and
warranty knowingly provided by our company in the merger agreement.
Our company will change its name to "eB2B Commerce, Inc.," or another
name that is acceptable to our company and eB2B Commerce, Inc.
The merger cannot be consummated without the approval of the holders of a
majority of the voting stock of our company. In addition, there are several
other conditions which must be fulfilled or waived prior to the closing of the
merger, including the reincorporation of our company in the State of Delaware.
If our company withdraws from or terminates the merger agreement without
the consent of eB2B Commerce, Inc., our company will be liable to eB2B Commerce,
Inc. for $500,000 in liquidated damages. For financial accounting purposes, eB2B
Commerce, Inc. will be considered the acquiring company.
10
Our company has also entered into a Loan Agreement with eB2B Commerce,
Inc., dated November 12, 1999, which was amended by Amendment No. 1 to Loan
Agreement, dated November 19, 1999. Under the loan agreement, eB2B Commerce,
Inc. agreed to loan our company $2 million subject to certain conditions. As of
December 28, 1999, we have received a series of loans from eB2B Commerce, Inc.
having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1,250,000. We expect to
receive an aggregate of $750,000 in addition loans from eB2B Commerce, Inc.
prior to year end.
All loans under the loan agreement accrue simple interest at the rate of
eight percent (8%) per year. The loans mature on March 12, 2000. However, if on
March 12, 2000, eB2B Commerce, Inc. chooses not to consummate the merger for any
reason, the new maturity date of the loans will be November 12, 2000. If the
loans are not repaid when due, eB2B Commerce, Inc. may choose to convert the
aggregate value of the loan into shares of our company's common stock at a
conversion price of $0.25 per share. In addition, the loan agreement contains
standard termination provisions, as well as representations, warranties and
covenants from our company to eB2B Commerce, Inc.
As additional consideration for the loans, our company also issued to eB2B
Commerce, Inc. warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of our
company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN OUR COMPANY'S CAPITALIZATION
Certain of our company's existing shareholders, who in the aggregate held
approximately seventy-nine percent (79%) of the issued and outstanding common
stock of our company, contributed forty percent (40%) of their common stock to
the capital of our company in exchange for warrants to purchase an aggregate of
125,000 shares of our company's common stock. Although this occurred on January
9, 1998, it was effective as of December 24, 1997. The total number of shares
contributed was 654,597 shares, representing approximately thirty-two percent
(32%) of the issued and outstanding common stock at the time of contribution. In
particular, Kenneth R. Konikowski, Steven L. Vanechanos, Jr. and Steven
Vanechanos, Sr. contributed shares of our company's common stock to our company
in December 1997 (89,732 shares for Mr. Konikowski, 184,135 shares for Mr.
Vanechanos, Jr. and 182,191 shares for Mr. Vanechanos, Sr.). This transaction
resulted in a reduction at the time in the outstanding number of shares of our
company's common stock from 2,074,710 to 1,420,113 shares.
On January 9, 1998, our company amended its certificate of incorporation
to, among other things, effect a 0.2608491-for-one reverse stock split of our
company's common stock. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, each share of our
company's common stock outstanding on January 9, 1998 was converted into
0.2608491 of one share, except that no fractional shares were issued and
shareholders who would otherwise receive a fractional share as a result of the
reverse stock split were entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. Unless
otherwise noted, all references to our company's common stock contained in this
report give effect to the reverse stock split.
11
PRIVATE PLACEMENTS, OTHER FINANCINGS AND EQUITY COMPENSATION DURING THE PAST
TWO YEARS
In November 1996, our company acquired all the capital stock of Software
Associates, Inc. from Kenneth R. Konikowski. In connection with this
acquisition, Kenneth R. Konikowski was named executive vice president and a
director of our company. The stock purchase agreement, as amended, requires our
company to issue up to 178,420 additional shares of our company's common stock
to Mr. Konikowski in the event the average closing bid price of our company's
common stock does not equal $21.565 per share for the five (5) trading days
immediately prior to January 30, 2000. If such additional shares are issued, the
ownership interest of all other holders of our company's common stock will be
diluted in favor of Mr. Konikowski.
In April 1998, our company granted options to purchase 45,000 shares of our
company's common stock at $5.50 per share as compensation to Perry & Co. for
investment relations services. The options are exercisable immediately and
expire in April 2000. The estimated fair value of the options, which amounted to
$102,500, was charged to operations during fiscal year 1998.
Also, in April 1998, we granted options to purchase 45,000 shares of our
company's common stock at $5.50 per share as compensation to Joel Arberman for
investment relations services. The options are exercisable immediately and
expire in April 2000. The estimated fair value of the options, which amounted to
$102,500, was charged to operations during fiscal year 1998.
On August 7, 1998, our company closed on the first round of a private
placement to The Shaar Fund, Ltd. The Shaar Fund, Ltd. purchased 875 shares of
our Series A 6% convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share,
together with 87,500 common stock purchase warrants with a term of three (3)
years and an exercise price of $6.00 per share, for an aggregate price of
$875,000. Our company received net proceeds of approximately $779,000 in
connection with this private placement and used these proceeds for general
operating purposes.
The Series A 6% convertible preferred stock has a conversion value of
$1,000 per share. That conversion value is credited towards the purchase of
shares of common stock at an agreed-upon purchase or conversion price. The
applicable conversion price is a discount to the "market price" of the common
stock at the time of conversion. For these purposes, the "market price" is the
average of the lowest three (3) days' closing bid prices of the common stock for
the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the conversion. Until
November 8, 1999, the conversion price can never exceed $2.75 per share. After
that date, the conversion price can never exceed $5.50 per share. The conversion
price also may be less than those ceilings, based upon the following: during the
0-179 days after purchase, the conversion price is eighty-five percent (85%) of
market price; during the 180-359 days after purchase, the conversion price is
eighty percent (80%) of market price; and 360 days or more after purchase, the
conversion price is seventy-eight percent (78%) of market price. The Shaar Fund,
Ltd. may elect when to convert the Series A 6% convertible preferred stock.
However, on August 7, 2000, The Shaar Fund, Ltd. must elect either to convert
all outstanding shares of Series A 6% convertible preferred stock at the
applicable conversion price or to have our company redeem all outstanding shares
of Series A 6% convertible preferred stock for $1,350 per share.
On December 3, 1998, our company closed on a second private placement of
Series A 6% convertible preferred stock with The Shaar Fund, Ltd. In this second
private placement, The Shaar Fund, Ltd. purchased 625 additional shares of our
Series A 6% convertible preferred stock and an
12
additional 50,000 common stock purchase warrants with a term of three (3) years
and an exercise price of $6.00 for an aggregate price of $500,000. Our company
received net proceeds of approximately $415,000 and used these proceeds for
general operating purposes.
On February 16, 1999, our company completed a private placement to The
Shaar Fund, Ltd. of 500 shares of our Series B 6% convertible preferred stock,
par value $0.001 per share, and 45,000 common stock purchase warrants. The total
offering price was $500,000, and our company received net proceeds of
approximately $375,000. Our company used these proceeds for general operating
purposes. Trautman Kramer & Company Incorporated acted as placement agent in
connection with this private placement and received a fee of $50,000 and
additional compensation of 50,000 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at
$7.00 per share.
The terms of exercise and conversion of the Series B 6% convertible
preferred stock and related warrants are as follows: the stock has a conversion
value of $1,000 per share, and the common stock purchase warrants have a term of
five (5) years and an exercise price of $8.93 per share. The conversion value is
credited towards the purchase of shares of common stock at an agreed-upon
purchase or conversion price. The applicable purchase or conversion price is a
discount to the "market price" of the common stock at the time of conversion.

closing bid prices of the common stock for the twenty (20) trading days
immediately preceding the conversion. The applicable purchase or conversion
prices are the lesser of $9.75 per share, or the following: (1) for the
preferred stock converted up to one hundred eighty (180) days after purchase,
eighty-five percent (85%) of the market price of our company's common stock, or
(2) for preferred stock converted after one hundred eighty (180) days after
purchase, eighty percent (80%) of the market price of our company's common
stock. The Shaar Fund may elect when to convert the Series B 6% convertible

ITEM 6: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements included in this report and in conjunction with the
description of our company's business included in this report. It is intended to
assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial position of our
company.
This discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainty. Our company's actual
results could differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include those discussed in this report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended September 30,1999, our revenue has been classified into
three categories: transaction/subscription processing, consulting services and
network development. Previously, we classified revenues as transaction
processing, professional services and other. Accordingly, certain revenues from
prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
Our company had net sales of $3,045,000 for the year ended September 30,
1999, compared to $1,187,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998, an increase
of approximately $1,858,000, or one hundred fifty-six percent (156%). The
increase in sales was attributable to the increase of our company's new
EDI/Internet products and services, particularly transaction processing services
offered through our company's EDI service bureau and sales of our company's
consulting services.
Transaction/subscription processing revenues include initial subscription
fees, and monthly transaction fees. These revenues for the year ended September
30, 1999 were $882,000, as compared to $419,000 for the year ended September
30,1998, an increase of $463,000 or one hundred eleven percent (111%).
18
Consulting service revenues represent fees from contract computer
programming. These revenues for the year ended September 30, 1999 were
$1,494,000 as compared to $601,000 for year ended September 30, 1998, an
increase of $893,000 or one hundred forty-nine percent (149%). The increase
resulted from additional customers coupled with an increase in the average
amount billed per programmer.
Network development revenues primarily relate to the development of EDI
data transformation tools and to the custom development of EDIxchange,
EDIxchangeBuy and EDIxchangeSell from which the transaction/subscription
processing revenues are derived. Network development revenues for the year ended
September 30, 1999 were $669,000 as compared to $167,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1998, resulting in an increase of $502,000 or three hundred one
percent (301%). This increase is attributable to the increased customized
development of data transformation tools for customers using the EDIxchange
suite of services and also the new customer setup of the EDIxchange suite of
products.
Total cost of sales was $1,790,000 for the year ending September 30, 1999,
for a gross profit of approximately $1,255,000 and gross margin of forty-one
percent (41%). This compares to cost of sales of $719,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1998, resulting in gross profit of $468,000 and gross margin of
thirty-nine percent (39%). A portion of the increase in cost of sales is
attributable to salary increases that took effect in the second, third, and
fourth quarters of fiscal 1999. The aggregate salary increase consists of the
salary expense of the addition of ten (10) new employees plus normal course pay
raises for all other employees. The increase is also attributable to increased
costs for maintaining and upgrading equipment and communications for better
service to our customers. In addition, certain amounts previously recorded as
operating expenses in the year ending September 30, 1998 have been reclassified
into cost of sales.
Cost of transaction/subscription processing was $598,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1999, for a gross profit of approximately $284,000 and gross
margin of thirty-two percent (32%). This compares to cost of transaction/
subscription processing of $240,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998,
resulting in gross profit of $179,000 and gross margin of forty-three
percent (43%).
Cost of consulting service revenues provided by the Company was $893,000
for the year ended September 30, 1999, for a gross profit of $601,000 and gross
margin of forty percent (40%). This compares to cost of consulting services of
$427,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998, resulting in gross profit of
$174,000 and gross margin of twenty-nine percent (29%).
Cost of network development revenues was $299,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1999, or a gross profit of $370,000, and gross margin of
fifty-five percent (55%). This compares to cost of network development revenues
of $52,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998, resulting in gross profit of
$115,000 and gross margin of sixty-nine percent (69%).
Marketing and sales expenses were $1,638,000 for the year ended September
30, 1999 as compared to $734,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998. The
increase is attributable to salaries for new hires, the costs of attendance at
trade shows associated with our company's efforts to market its EDI/Internet
products and services, additional advertising expenses, and the creation of a
new division,
19
customer satisfaction, to provide support for our company's products.
General and administrative expenses were $1,876,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to $1,925,000 for the year ended September 30,
1998. The decrease is attributable to lower expenditures in various areas.
Research and development expenses were $534,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to $412,000 for the year ended September 30,
1998. The increase is attributable to hiring of additional staff and to higher
compensation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30 1999, the Company had cash of approximately $418,000 and
total current assets of approximately $1,085,000 and total current liabilities
of $840,000.
The Company had a net loss of approximately $2,766,000 for the year ended
September 30, 1999 and negative operating cash flow of approximately $2,187,000.
The Company's negative cash flow for the year was funded by proceeds from
private placements of our common stock.
On September 30, 1999, the capital resources available to the Company were
not adequate to finance the Company's activities for the quarter ending December
31, 1999. Pursuant to a loan agreement with eB2B Commerce, Inc., our company has
received $250,000 in November 1999, $1,000,000 in December 1999 and expects to
receive an additional $750,000 before year end. Management expects that the
Company's cash flow will be sufficient to last through June 30, 2000, by which
time our company anticipates having consummated the merger with eB2B Commerce,
Inc. If the merger is not consummated, or if the cash available before the
consummation of the merger is insufficient to meet our company's needs, our
company will need to conduct additional financing activities. There can be no
assurance that such financing activities will be successful.
On December 3, 1998, our company closed on a second private placement of
Series A 6% convertible preferred stock with The Shaar Fund, Ltd. In this second
private placement, The Shaar Fund, Ltd. purchased 625 additional shares of our
Series A 6% convertible preferred stock and an additional 50,000 common stock
purchase warrants with a term of three (3) years and an exercise price of $6.00
for an aggregate price of $500,000. Our company received net proceeds of
approximately $415,000.
On February 16, 1999, our company completed a private placement to The
Shaar Fund, Ltd. of 500 shares of our company's Series B 6% convertible
preferred stock and 45,000 common stock purchase warrants. The total offering
price was $500,000, and our company received net proceeds of approximately
$375,000. Trautman Kramer & Company Incorporated, acting as placement agent for
the private placement, received a fee of $50,000 and additional compensation of
50,000 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $7.00 per share.
20
On April 26, 1999, our company completed a private placement to Cranshire
Capital, L.P. and Keeway Investments, Ltd. of 235,295 shares of our company's
common stock. The total offering price was $1,000,000 and our company received
net proceeds of approximately $940,000.
On May 12, 1999, our company completed a second private placement of the
Series B 6% convertible preferred stock to The Shaar Fund, Ltd. This private
placement included 1,000 shares of our company's Series B 6% convertible
preferred stock and 90,000 common stock purchase warrants for an aggregate price
of $1,000,000. Our company received net proceeds of $750,000 and used the
proceeds for general operating expenses.

of Operation," "Business" and elsewhere in this annual report constitute
forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our company's actual results,

ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc.
Fairfield, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (capital deficiency)
and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A, the Company
has incurred net losses and cash outflows from operations for each of the years
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note A. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

DYNAMICWEB ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On September 30, 1998, the Company merged with its subsidiaries, accordingly the
accompanying financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1998 include
the accounts of DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net
losses of $2,766,000 and $2,954,000 for the years ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively, and also incurred substantial negative cash flows from
operations during such years. Accordingly, although the Company has a positive
stockholders' equity and working capital at September 30, 1999 and obtained
additional proceeds from sale of preferred and common shares as described in
Note H, the Company's resources may be depleted before the Company markets and
derives significant revenues from its products and services. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
obtain additional financing and ultimately to attain profitability through the
successful marketing of its products and services. The Company has entered into
a merger agreement as described in Note M. There is no assurance that the
Company will obtain additional financing or that the Company's products and
services will be commercially successful.
NOTE B - THE COMPANY
The Company is primarily in the business of providing services, including
developing, marketing and supporting software products that enable business
entities to engage in electronic commerce utilizing the Internet and traditional
Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI").
NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1] REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company's revenues, which are derived primarily from services,
include implementation fees, transaction fees and consulting fees.
Implementation fees, which relate to the installation of software
enabling use of EDI, are recognized upon completion of installation.
Transaction fees, which are earned on a per transaction basis, are
recognized when transactions are processed and consulting fees are
recognized as services are performed. The Company also sells computer
equipment and software and recognizes revenue upon shipment.
In October 1997, the AICPA issued Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition," which the Company adopted, effective
October 1, 1997. Such adoption had no effect on the Company's methods of
recognizing revenue from its service and sales activities.
Deferred revenue represents revenue billed in advance for consulting and
implementation services.
[2] CASH EQUIVALENTS:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
27
DYNAMICWEB ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
[3] DEPRECIATION:
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided
using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided by the
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
useful life of the asset.
[4] INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
a) Cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired:
The cost in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets
acquired relates to the acquisition of Design Crafting, Inc.
(see Note D) and is being amortized over ten years.
b) Customer list:
Customer list relates to the acquisition of Software Associates, Inc.
(see Note D) and is being amortized over five years.
c) Patents and trademarks:
Costs to obtain patents and trademarks have been capitalized. The
Company has submitted numerous applications which are currently
pending. These costs are being amortized over five years.
d) Software license agreements:
Software license agreements acquired by the Company are being
amortized over the periods of the license agreements which range
from two to five years.
[5] IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:
Impairment losses are recognized for long-lived assets, including
certain intangibles, used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present. Management estimates that the undiscounted future cash
flows generated by those assets are sufficient to recover the assets'
carrying amount. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the
fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.
[6] RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:
Development costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility
of computer software are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes
costs incurred in producing such computer software, in accordance with
current accounting standards, after capitalization criteria have been
met.
[7] ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS:
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs
amounted to approximately $156,000 and $260,000 for the years ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
28
DYNAMICWEB ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NOTE C - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
[8] INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
("SFAS No. 109"). SFAS No. 109 measures deferred income taxes by
applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to
net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements.
[9] LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), for the year ended September 30,
1998. SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes
any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
In addition, contingently issuable shares are included in basic
earnings per share when all necessary conditions have been satisfied.
Diluted earnings per share is very similar to fully diluted earnings
per share and gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the reporting periods.
In 1999, net loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. In 1998, net loss per share of
common stock also included, prior to their issuance, shares which were
issuable in connection with interim financings and after giving
retroactive effect to (i) the reverse stock split effected in January
1998 (see Note H[1]) and (ii) the contribution of 654,597 common shares
back to the Company in exchange for warrants in December 1997 (see Note
H). Contingent shares issuable in connection with the acquisition of
Software Associates, Inc. (see Note H) are excluded from the weighted
average shares outstanding. Net loss has been increased by dividends
accrued on cumulative convertible preferred stock, including imputed
dividends attributable to a beneficial conversion feature and the value
of warrants issued together with the preferred stock, to determine net
loss per share of common stock (see Note H).
[10] USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities 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.
[11] FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The Company considers the carrying amount of its financial assets and
obligations, to approximate fair value due to the near-term due dates
and variable interest rates.
[12] STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation
plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"). As such, compensation
expense is recorded if the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant exceeds the exercise price of the options. In addition,
the Company provides pro forma disclosure of net loss and net loss per
share as if the fair value method defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
("SFAS No. 123") had been applied.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE H - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND INTERIM FINANCING (CONTINUED)
[3] (CONTINUED)
The common stock was valued at a fair value of $400,000 and $100,000
was allocated to the notes. Debt discount of $400,000 and deferred
financing fees of $72,500 were amortized over the period to the
expected completion date (October 31, 1997) of the Company's public
offering of securities. The Company completed its public offering in
February 1998. During the year ended September 30, 1998, financing
costs attributable to this offering of $255,000 were charged to
operations. The effective interest rate on the notes was approximately
525%.
[4] On December 23, 1997, in connection with a contemplated public
offering, certain of the Company's existing stockholders contributed
654,597 shares of the Company's common stock back to the Company and
received 125,000 warrants. The warrants, which expire on December 23,
2007, entitle the holder to purchase the Company's common stock at
$6.00 per share. The contributed shares were canceled and retired. In
addition, contingent shares issuable in connection with the acquisition
of Software Associates, Inc. (see Note D) were reduced from 297,367
shares to 178,420 shares.
[5] On February 6, 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 733,334
shares of its common stock at $6.00 per share and received net proceeds
of approximately $3,179,000.
[6] On August 7, 1998, the Company completed a private placement for net
proceeds of approximately $779,000, which consisted of 875 shares of
Series A, 6% cumulative, convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001
per share, together with 87,500 Common Stock Purchase Warrants which
expire on August 7, 2001 and have an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
The preferred shares have a liquidation preference of the stated face
value of $875,000 plus 30% of the stated face value plus cumulative
dividends. Dividends, which are payable in cash or common shares at the
option of the Company, are due quarterly, commencing September 30,
1998, based upon the liquidation value. The holder is eligible to
convert 33-1/3% of the preferred shares to common stock after 60 days
from the closing date increasing to 100% of the preferred shares after
120 days from the closing date. Each preferred share is convertible at
the lesser of (i) $5.50 or (ii) 85% of the market price of the common
stock, as defined (Market Price) within 180 days, 80% of the Market
Price between 180 and 360 days and 78% of the Market Price after 360
days. The holder of preferred shares may not convert to the extent that
the holder will be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the
outstanding common shares. The Company may redeem all the remaining
outstanding preferred shares at 125% of the stated value together with
all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
Proceeds from the private placement were allocated to the warrants
based on their estimated fair value and to the beneficial conversion
feature of the preferred shares based on that feature's intrinsic value
assuming the conversion terms most beneficial to the investor. Amounts
allocated aggregating $444,000 were credited to additional paid-in
capital and are being accounted for as imputed dividends to the
preferred stockholders over a one year period from date of issuance.
Imputed dividends accreted, which amounted to $376,000 and $67,000,
respectively, through September 30, 1999 and 1998, increases the
carrying value of the preferred shares.

On April 28, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan for
outside directors (the "Director Plan") under which nonqualified stock
options may be granted to outside directors to purchase up to 78,254
shares of the Company's common stock. The Director Plan was approved by
the stockholders on June 12, 1997. Pursuant to the Director Plan, each
director is to be granted options to purchase 3,912 shares of the
Company's common stock at each annual meeting of stockholders at which
directors are elected. Options may be exercised for ten years and one
month after the date of grant and may not be exercised during an
eleven-month period following the date of grant unless there is a change
in control, as defined, or the compensation committee waives the
eleven-month continuous service requirement. During each of the years
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, 11,736 options were granted to
directors to purchase the Company's common stock pursuant to the Director
Plan; such options, which were granted at prices equivalent to the market

[2] EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN:
On March 7, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's 1997

of grant, or 110% of such market value to an individual who owns more

Nonqualified stock options are to be granted at a price determined by the
Company's compensation committee. On August 8, 1997, the Company granted

termination until the end of his employment period. This payment will be reduced
by an interest rate that is equivalent to the rates for the latest two-year
Treasury bill.
On March 1, 1998, our company entered into an employment contract with
Steve Vanechanos, Sr., the vice president, treasurer and secretary of our
company. The agreement expires on February 29, 2000, but may be renewed
automatically for one (1) year periods, unless either our company or Mr.
Vanechanos provides at least ninety (90) days notice prior to the expiration
date. The agreement provides for a base salary of $66,000 in the first year and
$72,000 in the second year, and other benefits. Under the agreement, if Mr.
Vanechanos' employment is terminated by our company other than for "Cause,"
"Disability," or "Material Breach," or if he terminates his employment for "Good
Reason," as these terms are defined in Mr. Vanechanos' employment agreement, Mr.
Vanechanos is entitled to a lump sum amount equal to the base salary that he
would be entitled to if he worked from the time of termination until the end of
his employment period. This payment will be reduced by an interest rate that is
equivalent to the rates for the latest two-year Treasury bill.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our company's
officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a
registered class of our company's equity securities to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers,
directors and greater than ten percent (10%) shareholders are required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish our company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file. The rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding the filing of such statements require that "late filings"
of such statement be disclosed in this Annual Report.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to our
company, our company believes that, during the fiscal year ended September 30,
1999, its officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial
owners complied with applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

ITEM 12: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In connection with a financing for our company, Kenneth R. Konikowski,
Steven L. Vanechanos, Jr. and Steve Vanechanos, Sr. contributed shares of our
company's common stock to our company in December 1997 (89,732 shares for Mr.
Konikowski, 184,135 shares for Mr. Vanechanos, Jr. and 182,191 shares for Mr.
Vanechanos, Sr.).
Our company has a lease agreement with the Mask Group for the period from
December 1997 to December 31, 2002. Under this agreement, we lease a portion of
our office facility from the Mask Group, a partnership in which Kenneth R.
Konikowski, our company's executive vice president and a director, and his wife
are partners. The annual rent for the year ended September 30, 1999 under such
lease, as amended, is approximately $43,384, subject to fixed annual increases
of three percent (3%), plus the payment of condominium maintenance fees. The
lease expires on December 31, 2002. We believe that the rent charged by the Mask
Group approximates fair market rents in the area and is no less favorable to our
company than would have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party for
similar office space. In addition, our company is jointly obligated with the
Mask Group on approximately $246,000 of indebtedness (as of September 1, 1997)
to a third party lender to the Mask Group relating to a mortgage loan on those
premises. The Mask Group is making the payments on that loan, and has informed
our company that the loan is current.
On September 30, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc., DynamicWeb Transaction Systems, Inc., Software
Associates, Inc., Megascore, Inc. and Design Crafting, Inc. merged into a single
corporation existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey called DynamicWeb
Enterprises, Inc. DynamicWeb Enterprises, Inc., as the surviving corporation,
possesses all of the assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, as well
as all of the restrictions, disabilities, duties and liabilities of the former
subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding stock in the former subsidiaries
was cancelled as of the date of the merger.
Robert J. Gailus entered into a consulting agreement, dated November 25,
1998, with our company to provide financial advisory services to our company
through January 31, 1999. In exchange for such services to our company, Mr.
Gailus received options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock of our company
at an exercise price of $2.63 per share exerciseable during a five (5) year
term. The agreement is subject to extension by mutual agreement between our
company and Mr. Gailus. Mr. Gailus also serves as a member of our company's
board of directors.
