NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheet of En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "En Pointe") at March
31, 2000, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly these financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from
audited financial statements, but does not include disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the three and
six month periods ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2000. It is
suggested that these condensed statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report as of September 30, 1999.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 reported
period. Significant estimates in these financial statements include allowances
for uncollectible accounts receivable and for unreimbursed product returns, net
realizable value of rebates, and liability for legal claims and associated
costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The dilutive potential of stock options and warrants has been excluded
from the calculation of diluted loss per share in 2000 and 1999 because the
effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-up Activities". SOP No. 98-5 requires that all start-up costs related to
new operations must be expensed as incurred. In addition, start-up costs that
were capitalized in the past must be written off when SOP No. 98-5 is adopted.
Adoption of SOP No. 98-5 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company implemented
SOP No. 98-5 in the quarter ended December 31, 1999.
In June 1998, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement
requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets, or liabilities in
the balance sheet and the measurement of those instruments at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the planned
use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Because the Company does
not currently hold any derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities,
the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not currently expected to have a
material impact on results of operations or financial position. SFAS No. 137
defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until all fiscal years beginning after
June 30, 2000.
In December 1999 the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which provides guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements
filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to
recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue
recognition policies. Management believes the impact of SAB 101 will not have a
material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
<PAGE>
NOTE 4 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company consists primarily of three business units (companies), En
Pointe Technologies, Inc., firstsource corp., (previously known as
firstsource.com, inc. and prior to that Purchase Pointe. Inc.), and
SupplyAccess, Inc. En Pointe and firstsource have separate management teams,
infrastructures and facilities, while SupplyAccess, currently shares with En
Pointe some of its infrastructure and facilities.
En Pointe Technologies focuses its efforts on sales of technology products
and services to Fortune 1000 and government customers. En Pointe Technologies
utilizes both a traditional national sales force with branch offices in major
metropolitan areas along with electronic interfaces between En Pointe and its
customers and vendors.
firstsource corp. focuses its efforts on the sale of technology, including
recently added general office products, and other services primarily via the
Internet to consumers and small to mid-sized businesses.
SupplyAccess Inc. was recently incorporated on November 15, 1999. It offers
a hosted business-to-business web application integrated with a customized
SAP-based enterprise fulfillment engine. The Company transferred its IT
department and computer equipment and software to SupplyAccess effective October
1, 1999 in exchange for a $5.5 million note maturing September 30, 2004, and

NOTE 5 - MINORITY INTEREST
At March 31, 2000 minority interest represents approximately 2,660,000 shares
of common stock and 3,583,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of
firstsource corp and 12,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock
of SupplyAccess, Inc. The financial statements have been revised for the three
and six months ended March 31, 2000 to reduce the previous allocations of losses
to the minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. The impact was to
increase consolidated net loss for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000
by $610,000 to $5,507,000 and $1,272,000 to $11,354,000 respectively. The impact
on earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 was to
increase net loss per share by $0.09 to $0.87 and by $0.21 to $1.83,
respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The forward-looking statements included in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which reflect
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and
uncertainties. This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements and their inclusion
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that the objectives or plans will be achieved. Factors that might cause such a
difference include, but are not limited to, competitive, technological,
financial and business challenges making it more difficult than expected to
continue to sell information technology products and services. The Company may
be unable to retain existing key sales, technical and management personnel;
there may be other material adverse changes in the information technology
industry or in the Company's operations or business, and any or all of these
factors may affect the Company's ability to achieve sales growth or may result
in lower sales volume than currently experienced.
Certain important factors affecting the forward-looking statements made
herein include, but are not limited to (I) A Significant portion of the
Company's sales continuing to be to certain large customers, (II) Continued
dependence by the Company on certain Allied Distributors, (III) Continued
downward pricing pressures in the information technology market, (IV) The
decision by the Company to expand its sales force into various new geographic
territories in a virtual manner, (V) Quarterly fluctuations in results, (VI)
Seasonal patterns of sales and client buying behaviors and potential fluctuation
or decline in demand for the Company's products and services, (VII) Changing
economic influences in the industry, (VIII) The development by competitors of
new or superior delivery technologies or entry in the market by new competitors
(IX) Dependence on intellectual property rights, (X)Delays in product
development, (XI)The Company's dependence on key personnel, and potential
influence by executive officers and principal stockholders, (XII) Volatility of
the Company's stock price, (XIII) Delays in the receipt of orders or in the
shipment of products, (XIV) Any delay in execution and implementation of the
Company's system development plans, (XV) Loss of minority ownership status,
(XVI) Planned or unplanned changes in the quantity and/or quality of the
suppliers available for the Company's products, (XVII) Changes in the costs or
availability of products, (XVIII) Interruptions in transport or distribution,
(XIX) General business conditions in the economy, (XX) Inability to raise
additional private or public capital necessary for development of the two
internet businesses to that of a profitable enterprise.
Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other management
decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to
interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business
developments, the impact of which may cause the Company to alter its marketing,
capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect the Company's
business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The reader
is therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements
contained herein and to consider other risks detailed more fully in the
Company's most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report as of September 30, 1999.
The following table sets forth certain financial data as a percentage of net
sales for the periods indicated:

COMPARISON OF THE SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 (FISCAL
2000) AND 1999 (FISCAL 1999)
NET SALES. Net sales decreased $28.8 million, or 19.9% to $116.1 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $144.9 million in fiscal 1999. The
decrease in sales was attributable to a $36.6 million decrease in En Pointe's
core business which was due in part to softness in the marketplace. Also
contributing to the decrease was a continuation of implementation difficulties
encountered during the transition to the new SAP business system in the first
and second quarters of fiscal year 2000. Partially offsetting this decrease was
an increase in net sales at firstsource corp. of $7.8 million for a 113%
increase over the prior fiscal year period and a 17% increase over the prior
sequential quarter.
Service revenues increased $2.6 million, or 54% to $7.5 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $4.9 million in the prior fiscal year quarter
and were 6.5% of total net consolidated sales versus 3.4% in the prior fiscal
year quarter. Net sales under the IBM contract were $11.9 million and accounted
for 10.3% of total consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2000
compared with $26.3 million or 18.1% for the prior fiscal year quarter. Net
sales under the IBM contract were adversely affected by systems implementation
difficulties mentioned above.
Net sales for the six months decreased $ 63.2 million, or 20.0% to $252.4
million from $315.5 million in the prior fiscal year period. Service revenues
increased $4.3 million, or 43.4% to $14.2 million from $9.9 million in the prior
fiscal year period. Sales under the IBM contract were $29.5 million and
accounted for 11.7% of total consolidated net sales for the six months of fiscal
2000 compared with $61.6 million or 19.5% of total net sales in the prior fiscal
year period.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $0.5 million, or 4.5% to $11.5 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to $11.0 million in the prior
fiscal year quarter, which reflected an increase in margins in product sales. As
a percentage of net sales, gross profits increased to 9.9% from 7.6% in the
prior
<PAGE>
fiscal year quarter, and increased slightly compared with the 9.6% of the prior
sequential quarter, reflecting improvements in product margins. Like trends were
noted for the six months comparable periods as gross profits as a percentage of
net sales increased to 9.8% from 7.7% in the prior year. As reported in the
September 30, 1999 Form 10-K, the declining trend in gross profits in the
computer industry appears to be abating and the growth in higher margin service
sales is also contributing a positive factor.
SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES. Selling and marketing expenses increased
$3.4 million, or 37.5% to $12.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000,
from $9.1 million in prior fiscal year quarter. The largest contributor to the
increase was firstsource corp., incurring an additional $1.8 million related to
advertising and increased selling expenses. In addition, En Pointe hired
additional sales personnel that increased selling and related marketing expenses
by $1.6 million. The additional expenses incurred were not accompanied by
increased sales, as a result, selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of
net sales, increased to 10.7% in 2000 from 6.2% in 1999.
For the six month period, selling and marketing expenses increased $7.0
million, or 39.3% to $24.8 million, from the $17.8 million of the prior fiscal
period. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses increased
to 9.8% from 5.6% in the prior year.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased $2.6 million, or 57.5% to $7.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2000, from $4.6 million in the prior fiscal year quarter. Most of the increase,
$2.4 million, was attributable to the build up of staff and other administrative
functions at firstsource corp. SupplyAccess was responsible for $1.7 million
(net of $0.5 million reimbursement by En Pointe for outsourcing of the IT
function) of the increase in general and administrative expenses. Most of the
SupplyAccess general and administrative expenses incurred relate to their
building of infrastructure and enhancement of their technical proprietary
properties. Offsetting the above $4.1 million increase in expenses by the
subsidiaries was a reduction in general and administrative expenses of En Pointe
of $1.5 million.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased
3.0% to 6.2% from 3.2% in the prior fiscal year quarter. Of the 3.0% increase,
1.2% is due to declining net sales volume, with the remaining 1.8% attributed to
the costs noted above. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
March 2000 remained relatively constant. When expressed as a percentage of the
December 1999 quarter's net sales they were 5.3%, compared with 5.1% in the
prior sequential quarter. Exclusive of the internet subsidiary and SupplyAccess,
general and administrative expenses for the core business as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 2.2% (before consideration for any unreimbursed operating
costs transferred to SupplyAccess) for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from
2.6% in the prior year fiscal quarter.
For the six months period, general and administrative expenses increased
$5.6 million, or 65.6% to $14.1 million, from $8.5 million in the prior fiscal
period. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses
increased to 5.6% from 2.7% in the prior fiscal period.
NON-RECURRING CHARGE. On April 27, 2000, the Superior Court for the County of
Los Angeles issued its ruling related to recovery of legal and other costs by
the Plaintiff in the Novaquest Infosystems, et. al. v. En Pointe Technologies,
Inc., et al., matter described in the Company's Annual Report on Forms 10-K for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. The court ruled that the Plaintiff was
entitled to attorneys' fees and costs of $1,112,853 and $105,249 respectively.
Accordingly, $1.2 million was accrued for the March 31, 2000 quarter in
recognition of this liability.
OPERATING LOSS. Operating loss decreased $1.2 million, to a $9.3 million
loss in the second quarter
<PAGE>
of fiscal 2000 from a $10.5 million loss in the prior fiscal year quarter. The
decreased loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was due to the decrease in
non-recurring charges, chiefly from the prior year's higher non-recurring
charges necessary to reserve for loss on impairment of the Ontario property.
Because of the increase in operating expenses, the operating loss, as a
percentage of net sales, increased to a negative 8.0% in the second fiscal
quarter of 2000 from a negative 7.3% in the 1999 fiscal quarter.
The operating loss for the six months period increased $5.6 million, to a
$15.5 million loss from a $9.8 million loss in the prior fiscal period. As a
percentage of net sales, the six months operating loss increased to 6.1% from
3.1% in the prior fiscal period.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 35.7% to $0.6
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $0.9 million in the prior
fiscal year quarter. The decline in interest expense is attributed to decreased
average borrowing during the quarter under the credit lines due to the decline
in sales. A similar decline in interest expense was noted for the six months
period as interest expense declined from $1.8 million to $1.2 million.
GAIN ON SALE OF SECURITIES. In conjunction with the SupplyAccess private
placement, marketable securities were acquired that produced a gain of $3.9
million upon sale. The securities were acquired on February 23, 2000 with a cost
basis of $9.0 million. Of the $9.0 million of securities acquired, $6.8 million
were sold for $10.7 million (net of brokerage). The remaining securities with a
cost basis of $2.2 million were valued at $3.4 million at March 31, 2000. As of
May 8, 2000, the current market valuation had declined to $1.1 million.
MINORITY INTEREST. firstsource corp., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary,
on July 28, 1999 issued 2,659,336 shares of common stock, representing a
minority interest of 28.6% in a private placement that grossed $9.3 million. On
February 14, 2000, an additional 3,582,517 shares of convertible preferred
stock, representing a cumulative minority interest of 48.4%, were offered in a
private placement that grossed $15.0 million. The minority interest related to
the firstsource corp. loss was $0.5 million.
On February 23, 2000, SupplyAccess, Inc. formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary,
issued 12,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock in a private
placement that grossed $18.0 million and represented a 46.1% minority interest.
BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. Because the subsidiaries are less than 80% owned,
they may not be included in a consolidated tax filing with En Pointe. No tax
benefit has been recognized for losses from firstsource corp., since the losses
exceed taxable income available for refund and there is no assurance of taxable
income in the future.
NET (LOSS). Net loss increased $1.0 million, to a net loss of $5.5 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $4.5 million net loss in the prior
fiscal year quarter. firstsource corp. was responsible for $2.6 million (net of
minority interest of $0.5 million) of the consolidated net loss for the quarter.
With SupplyAccess recording a substantial gain on sale of securities, net income
of $1.2 million was recognized for the period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended March 31, 2000 operating activities provided
cash totaling $8.9 million compared to $18.9 million cash provided in the prior
fiscal year period. Most of the increase in cash provided by operating
activities can be attributed to the decrease in accounts receivable.
<PAGE>
The Company's accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2000 and September
30, 1999, was $83.5 million and $101.7 million, respectively. The number of
days' sales outstanding in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2000 and
September 30, 1999 was 60 days and 56 days, respectively.
Inventories also decreased $1.1 million (gross after adjustment for a $0.4
million increase in valuation reserve), which also was sales related.
Investing activities used cash of $1.7 million during the six months ended
March 31, 2000 compared with cash used of $0.9 million in the prior year fiscal
period. Computer equipment and software accounted for most of the $1.7 million
in purchases of property and equipment.
Financing activities provided net cash totaling $13.5 million during the six
months ended March 31, 2000. Proceeds from the sale of En Pointe stock to
employees provided cash of $3.0 million. Another $30.5 million of net capital
was raised from proceeds of shares of stock sold in two private placements by
subsidiaries. On February 14, 2000, firstsource corp. sold 3,582,517 shares of
common stock at $4.187 per share for a gross amount of $15 million. On February
23, 2000, SupplyAccess, Inc. sold 12,000,000 shares of Series A convertible
preferred at $1.50 per share for a gross amount of $18 million. Net payments on
lines of credit and other outstanding debt amounted to $20.0 million was the
principal activity that used financing cash for the period.
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $27.5 million in cash,
including $0.1 million in restricted cash, and working capital of $50.3 million.
The Company has several revolving credit facilities collateralized by accounts
receivable and all other assets of the Company, including a $70.0 million line
with IBM Credit Corporation. As of March 31, 2000, such lines of credit provided
for maximum aggregate borrowings of approximately $111.0 million, of which
approximately $42.5 million was outstanding.
Outstanding borrowings under the IBMCC line of credit bears interest at prime
less .25%. The line of credit is automatically renewable on an annual basis each
April first unless notification of an election not to renew is made by either
the Company or creditor on or prior to the annual renewal date. Borrowings are
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the
line of credit contains certain financing and operating covenants relating to
net worth, liquidity, profitability, repurchase of indebtedness and prohibition
on payment of dividends, as well as restrictions on the use of proceeds obtained
under the line. The Company has obtained a waiver for the March 31, 2000 quarter
for non-compliance with one IBMCC loan covenant that relates to minimum
consolidated net income as a percentage of net sales .
On April 4, 2000, SupplyAccess completed a supplemental private placement for an
additional 5,088,319 of Series A convertible preferred stock at $1.50 per share
for a gross amount of $7.6 million. On April 27, 2000 SupplyAccess completed
another supplemental private placement for an additional 2,666,666 shares of
Serices A convertible preferred stock at $1.50 per share for a gross amount of
$4.0 million
Currently, firstsource corp. is seeking to raise additional financing through a
private placement. There can be no assurances that the private placements will
be completed or will be completed on terms favorable to the Company. The Company
believes that any financing raised from such private placement together with the
current borrowing capacity under its lines of credit will provide sufficient
working capital for the next twelve months.
<PAGE>
ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates,
primarily as a result of its borrowings under lines of credit. The Company's
lines of credit bear interest at the prime rate less 0.25%. Assuming an increase
of one-half a percentage point in the lenders' rate on October 1, 1999 and no
change in the outstanding borrowings under the lines of credit at September 30,
1999, interest expense would increase by approximately $105,000 for the fiscal
year 2000 as compared to fiscal year 1999.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material changes in the legal proceedings reported
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended
September 30, 1999, except as follows: in the Company's Annual Report
on Forms 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30 1999 (as filed
withthe Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2000) the
Company reported that in connection with that certain litigation
originally filed April 29, 1997 in the Superior Court for the County
of Los Angeles, under the case name Novaquest Infosystems, et. al. v.
En Pointe Technologies, Inc., et al., the court had taken under
submission Plaintiffs' claim for costs and attorney's fees, but had
not yet ruled. The Company then stated, in connection with the claim
for attorney's fees, that it did not believe that a judge would find
reasonable the expending of $1,800,000 to recover $50,000.On April 27,
2000, the court issued its ruling on Plaintiffs' request for
attorneys' fees and costs. The court awarded plaintiffs $1,112,853 in
attorneys' fees for a recovery of $50,000, as well as $105,249 in
costs.
The Company intends to appeal the Court's ruling on attorneys' fees.
The Company believes that an award of $1,112,853 in attorneys' fees to
recover $50,000 should not be sustained. Nonetheless, in view of the
ruling, the Company has recognized a charge to reported income of
approximately $1.175 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2000, to
provide for this potential loss. The Company is subject to other legal
proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business.
While the outcome of these other proceedings and claims cannot be
predicted with certainty, after consulting with counsel, management
does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
