RISK FACTORS
An investment by you in the shares of Common Stock offered by this
Prospectus is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should only
acquire these securities if you can afford to lose your entire investment.
Before making an investment, you should carefully consider the following risks
and speculative factors, as well as the other information contained in this
Prospectus. As discussed below, this Prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results of
MyTurn.com's operations could be significantly different from the information
contained in those forward-looking statements. Those differences could result
from the risk factors discussed immediately below, as well as factors discussed
in other places in this Prospectus.
In this "Risk Factors" section, "we," "our" and "ours" refer to MyTurn.com,
and "you," "your" and "yours" refer to an acquiror of the shares offered by this
Prospectus.
We may not be able to sustain or grow our business because of our lack of
significant revenues and recent and anticipated continuing losses.
Period Ended Revenues Net Loss
------------ -------- --------
December 31, 1998 (Year) $336,955 $ 2,783,552
December 31, 1999 (Year) 233,660 13,383,485
September 30, 2000 (nine months) 97,631 128,360,574
The table above sets out our revenues and net losses for the periods ended
on the dates indicated in the first column.
The increase in losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 is
primarily the result of the increase in loss from discontinued operations and an
increase of approximately $7,000,000 in costs and expenses from 1998 to 1999.
The net loss amount for 1999 includes a $6,792,222 loss from the discontinued
operations of our subsidiary e.TV Commerce, Inc. and our public safety software
business division, and an operating loss of $7,128,995 from continuing
operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, MyTurn.com incurred a net
loss of $128,360,574 as compared to a net loss of $8,141,904 for the same period
in 1999. This increase in loss is primarily the result of the increase in costs
and expenses resulting from the non-cash earnings charges discussed in the
following paragraphs.
On January 20, 2000, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 1996
Stock Option Plan which increased to 10,000,000 the number of options available
to be granted. MyTurn.com previously had granted options in excess of those
authorized to be granted prior to the
5
<PAGE>
shareholder action; therefore, MyTurn.com is required to recognize a non-cash
compensation charge measured by the difference between:
o the exercise price of the excess 6,130,583 options granted,
and
o the market price of our shares on January 20, 2000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, costs and expenses increased to
$128,324,887, primarily due to the following:
o Sales and marketing expenses of $3,473,905 associated with our
initial roll out of the GlobalPC in four test markets.
o An increase in research and development costs of $907,442
related to the development of software to be used in the
GlobalPC.
o An increase of $9,718,243 in general and administrative
expenses, excluding stock based compensation and depreciation
and amortization, associated with the general growth and
expansion of our business.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $53,587,378 resulting from
the grant of options to employees, during 1999, in excess of
the options available under MyTurn.com's 1996 Stock Option
Plan.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $20,183,553 resulting from
the grant of options to employees in January of 2000, having
an exercise price below the fair market value.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $13,158,500 resulting from
the issuance of warrants to the Chairman of the Board/Chief
Executive Officer.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $5,412,500 resulting from
the issue of warrants to certain directors with an exercise
price below the fair market value.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $4,625,000 resulting from
the acceleration of the vesting of warrants issued to the
Chairman of the Board/Chief Executive Officer during the first
quarter of 2000.
o a non-cash compensation charges of $6,991,189 resulting from
the grant of options and the issuance of warrants to non-
employees.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $1,561,359 resulting from
the issuance of shares to non-employees.
o a non-cash compensation charge of $1,809,399 resulting from
the settlement in
6
<PAGE>
stock of disputes with non-employees over registration of
MyTurn.com stock previously issued to them.
o an increase in depreciation and amortization of $4,858,799
resulting from amortization of
o goodwill related to the acquisition in December 1999
of assets of Global PC, Inc. of $2,706,207,
o licensing fees of $285,298,
o web-site development and domain name costs of
$204,214, and
o depreciation of fixed assets of $200,499.
These non-cash earnings charges will not impact MyTurn.com's cash flows.
We bought certain assets of Global PC, Inc. in December 1999 which we use
to manufacture and sell our product known as the GlobalPC. We are placing
material reliance on the successful marketing and sale of the GlobalPC to
generate our revenues in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to develop a market for this product, or if we do that the market will grow or
even be sustained.
We believe that we will be unable to achieve enough revenues to offset
operating costs for the foreseeable future; therefore, we anticipate that
operating losses will continue for at least the next twelve months. We cannot
predict how long these operating losses will continue or what impact they will
have on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you
that our products and services will be able to compete successfully in the
marketplace or that they will generate significant revenue; nor can we assure
you that our business will be able to operate profitably.
MyTurn.com needs more capital to grow and even to sustain current
operations. MyTurn.com's cash requirements have been and will continue to be
significant. We currently anticipate that our available cash resources and funds
from operations will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated and
projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least 60
days. We expect we will need to raise additional funds through private debt or
equity financings within 60 days in order to continue to support current
operations and develop our business plan. Since April 2000 we have primarily
relied on investments and advances from our Chairman of the Board/Chief
Executive Officer for our cash needs. If we do not receive further funding from
the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, and if we do not develop our business
plan, we would have enough cash for about 60 days at the current level of
operation. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the
percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time will be reduced. Those
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of
the holders of our shares. We cannot assure that additional financing will be
available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not
available or are not available on acceptable terms, MyTurn.com may not be able
to
o fund then-existing operations;
7
<PAGE>
o take advantage of new opportunities;
o develop new or enhanced services and related products;
o continue to develop its business plan;
o otherwise respond to competitive pressures; and
o sustain its current operations.
As a result, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected. Additionally, we may be forced to scale back
operations.
We have a limited operating history which does not indicate we will be
successful. We were incorporated in New York on March 31, 1983 and
reincorporated in Delaware on October 18, 1996. We changed our name from
Compu-DAWN, Inc. to MyTurn.com, Inc. on January 21, 2000.
Until January 1999, we were engaged primarily in the business of designing,
developing, licensing, installing and servicing computer application software
systems for law enforcement and public safety agencies. In January 1999 we
commenced the business of selling Internet, e- commerce, and telecommunications
products and services through a multi-level network marketing system of
independent representatives through our subsidiary e.TV. In July, 1999 we sold
the public safety software business, closed our network marketing sales
activities to sell our products, and assigned our rights to receive long
distance revenues to an unaffiliated third party.
We are currently receiving income from sales of the GlobalPC, which we
brought to the market in the summer of 2000, and Internet access service sales
to certain GlobalPC users. We are currently selling our GlobalPC in a limited
market of four cities. We have decided to market the GlobalPC through an
infomercial commencing in the fourth quarter of 2000. We expect, but cannot
assure, that we will expand into more markets nationally and internationally by
the end of 2000. However, we have limited history with respect to the
development and sale of the GlobalPC on which to base an evaluation of our
business and prospects.
Our prospects in the business of developing and selling the GlobalPC must
be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of a new line of
business, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as the
development and sale of high technology and telecommunications products and
services, and online e-commerce. To address these risks and uncertainties, we
must, among other things
o establish and enhance the brand-name recognition for the
GlobalPC;
o establish and maintain active business relationships with mass
merchandise retailers and obtain significant orders from them
regularly;
8
<PAGE>
o establish and maintain licensing relationships domestically
and internationally with users of our technology;
o implement and execute our business and marketing strategy
successfully;
o continue to develop and upgrade our technology and
information-processing systems;
o provide superior customer service;
o respond to competitive developments; and
o raise adequate capital to fund manufacture of the GlobalPC, to
fund marketing activities and to hire employees.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing all of
these things, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We cannot assume we will be profitable. We believe that our growth and our
achieving profitability will depend in large part on our ability to
o gain vendor and user acceptance of the GlobalPC;
o obtain significant orders from mass merchandise retailers for
the GlobalPC;
o extend our sales into other channels such as direct marketing
through infomercials and to direct sales organizations;
o establish a market for the GlobalPC and then increase our
market share;
o provide our customers with superior Internet services and on-
line commerce experiences through the use of the GlobalPC;
o gain wider user acceptance of our computer operating
technology;
o enter into licensing relationships with licensees of our
technology;
o enter into relationships with business partners to generate
revenue from website linking and other arrangements; and
o market and sell our Internet services to users of the
GlobalPC.
We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are
not necessarily
9
<PAGE>
meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance
because of
o the closing of our network marketing sales operations in 1999;
o the sale of our public safety software business division in
1999;
o the rapidly evolving nature of business relating to the
Internet and computing devices; and
o the limited operating history in our business of developing
and selling the GlobalPC and related services.
We have to manage our potential growth with a new management team. We
anticipate that:
o expansion of our infrastructure;
o development of the GlobalPC;
o enhancement and modification of operating system software;
o development of new application software programs; and
o the need to establish and maintain relationships with mass
merchandise retailers, licensees and other business partners
will be required to address potential growth in our customer base and market
opportunities. We expect this expansion will place a significant strain on our
management, operational and financial resources, and is expected to continue to
do so.
Certain members of our management, including our Chairman of the Board
/Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer and
Chief Technology Officer, have joined us within the last ten months. Also
certain key personnel came to us from GlobalPC Inc. when we acquired its assets
in December 1999. Our new employees include a number of key management,
engineering, marketing, planning, technical and operations personnel who have
not yet been fully integrated into our company, and we expect to add additional
key personnel in the near future.
To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will be
required to improve existing operational and financial systems and controls,
implement new ones, and expand, train and manage our growing employee base. We
also will be required to expand our finance, administrative, marketing and
operations staff. Further, we may be required to enter into relationships with
various strategic partners, retailers, manufacturers, suppliers and vendors,
licensors and other third parties necessary to the maintenance and growth of our
business. There can be no assurance that our current and planned personnel,
systems, procedures and controls
10
<PAGE>
will be adequate to support our future operations, or that our management will
be able to identify and exploit existing and potential strategic relationships
and market opportunities. Our failure to manage growth effectively could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We depend on key personnel to make our business successful. Our performance
is substantially dependent on the continued services and on the performance of
our senior management and other key personnel. Our performance also depends on
our ability to retain and motivate our other officers and key employees. The
loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees
could delay our ability to expand the markets for our GlobalPC or establish
strategic relationships and we could lose momentum and credibility because of
these delays. This would have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition. We maintain no "key person" life
insurance policies on any of our personnel. Our future success depends on our
ability to hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled personnel
including management, investor relations, engineering, technical, marketing and
customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract, integrate or
retain sufficiently qualified personnel. Our failure to retain and attract the
necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
There are frequent changes in the markets for our products and services and
interest in our products may be lost. The markets for our products and services
are characterized by rapid technological change and frequent introductions of
new products and services. Our ability to compete will depend on our ability to
adapt, enhance and improve our existing products and services, and to develop
and introduce the GlobalPC and our services in a timely and cost-competitive
manner. We are also concentrating substantially all of our efforts on the
marketing and sale of the GlobalPC and Internet access services to users of the
GlobalPC. We cannot predict whether or not our competitors will develop services
or products that will render ours outmoded or otherwise less marketable, or
whether we will be able to enhance and adapt our products and services
successfully. Any one of these factors may render one or more of our products or
services obsolete. Other companies may be developing products or services of
which we are unaware and which may be similar or superior to some or all of the
products and services we offer.
MyTurn.com substantially relies on certain licenses to develop and sell the
GlobalPC. We rely substantially on our technology license agreement with
Geoworks Corporation ("Geoworks") for a non-transferable license for the GEOS(R)
operating software embedded in the GlobalPC. The term of this license expires on
December 31, 2004 but may be renewed for additional successive one year periods,
each on mutually agreeable terms, if we meet certain royalty payment and
performance thresholds. Also, the license for the GEOS(R) software, specifically
for use in GlobalPCs, is exclusive to us so long as we maintain certain royalty
payment and other performance thresholds. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to meet the thresholds and perform our obligations to obtain and maintain
exclusivity or even to keep the license.
11
<PAGE>
If we lose the license for the GEOS(R) software, we will be unable to
manufacture or sell the GlobalPC. If we lose the exclusive right to use GEOS(R)
software in GlobalPCs, we could face intense competition from substantially the
same type of products which could contain the GEOS(R) software.
We also have a non-transferable, exclusive sublicense from a third party
for the GEOS(R) operating system for use in hard disk or other non-solid state
mass storage devices. The sublicense does not cover certain markets which we
believe will not meaningfully compete with us. The sublicense is for a term
expiring on December 31, 2003, but may be renewed for successive one year terms
if certain conditions for exclusivity are met. The sublicense will be exclusive
so long as we maintain certain royalty payments and other performance
thresholds. We cannot assure we will be able to meet the thresholds of, and
perform our obligations under, the sublicense, or maintain the exclusivity of,
or even keep the sublicense. The sublicense is also subject to the license
between Geoworks and that third party being in effect during the term of the
sublicense. If we lose the sublicense, our continued development and sale of the
GlobalPC could be delayed for approximately ten months. Additionally, if we lose
the sublicense or the exclusivity under the sublicense we could face competition
from anyone who sublicenses these rights.
We rely on the marketing and sale of our GlobalPC and licensing of our
technology to generate revenue. We are relying on the successful marketing, sale
and use of the GlobalPC, subscriptions to our Internet service by GlobalPC
users, licensing of our technology, and website linking agreements with business
partners for the near future to develop and grow our operations. We have not
identified any other products which we anticipate developing and bringing to
market in the foreseeable future. If we are unable to sell the GlobalPC or our
market share drops because of competition from products using the GEOS(R)
software or other technology, we will suffer a material adverse effect on its
business, operation and prospects.
We may not be able to continue to grow our business if we suffer problems
in developing and identifying new products. All the risks inherent in developing
or identifying new products and services will accompany our development efforts.
These risks include:
o unanticipated delays;
o expenses and technical problems associated with the
manufacture of technology-related products; and
o the research, marketing and other risks related to
the launching of new services and products.
We cannot assure you that
o we can develop additional products or services or
identify services or products of other parties which
we would like to develop and sell within a reasonable
time period;
12
<PAGE>
o we will have sufficient resources to complete that
development;
o we will have access to sufficient funding to complete
development; or
o we can make economically reasonable arrangements for
the completion of new products or the introduction of
new services by third parties.
Therefore, we cannot assure when, or whether, new products and/or services will
be successfully developed and brought to the market or will become available.
Emerging GlobalPC market may adversely affect product acceptance. The
market for our GlobalPC is a relatively new and growing niche in the personal
computing industry. If our GlobalPC does not obtain and maintain a proportionate
degree of acceptance or the market for it fails to grow or grows more slowly
than anticipated, or if we are unable to adapt our GlobalPC to meet changing
customer requirements or technological changes in this emerging market, our
business, operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
The success of our business depends on a developing market and is dependent
on continued growth of Internet communication and online commerce. Rapid growth
in the use of, and interest in, the World Wide Web, the Internet and other
online services is a recent phenomenon. There can be no assurance that this
acceptance and use will continue to develop, nor can there be any assurance that
a sufficiently broad base of the consumers we target will adopt, and continue to
use, the Internet as a medium of commerce. The Internet may prove not to be a
viable means of conducting commerce or communications for a number of reasons,
including potentially unreliable network infrastructure and poor performance. In
addition, if the Internet continues to experience significant growth in the
number of users and level of use, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to
support the demands placed on it by such growth. Furthermore, the World Wide Web
has experienced a variety of outages and other delays, and could face such
outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could adversely
affect the level of Internet use. The Internet could lose its viability due to
delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle
increased levels of activity, or due to increased governmental regulation.
Even if the infrastructure, standards or protocols are developed and the
Internet continues to be a viable commercial marketplace in the long term, we
might need to incur substantial expenditures in order to adapt our Internet
service and GlobalPC to changing Web technologies, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Internet may also lose viability or flexibility as a marketplace due to
increased governmental regulation. Furthermore, changes in, or insufficient
availability of, telecommunications services to support the Internet or other
online services also could result in slower response times and adversely affect
usage of the Internet and other online services generally.
13
<PAGE>
We face intense competition for our products and services. The markets for
our GlobalPC and Internet products and services are intensely competitive. We
compete directly with
o companies that manufacture and sell personal
computers, Internet access and web tv products;
o providers of Internet access services; and
o developers of other operating systems.
Many of our competitors have much greater name recognition and financial
resources than we do. In addition, Internet access products and services and
personal computers can be purchased in a wide variety of channels of
distribution. Our product offerings in each product category are also relatively
small compared to the wide variety of products offered by many other Internet
service providers and hardware and software manufacturers. There can be no
assurance that our business and results of operations will not be affected
materially by market conditions and competition in the future.
Many of our current and potential competitors in all of our markets have
longer operating histories, larger customer bases, and significantly greater
financial, marketing, technical and other resources than we do. Furthermore,
some of these competitors enjoy greater brand recognition than we do. In
addition, certain of our competition may be acquired by, receive investments
from, or enter into other commercial relationships with, larger,
well-established and well-financed companies as use of the Internet and other
online services increases. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete
successfully against current and future competitors.
We face risks associated with information disseminated through our Internet
access service. The law relating to the liability of online service companies
for information carried on or disseminated through their services is currently
unsettled. It is possible that claims could be made against Internet access and
online service companies for defamation, libel, invasion of privacy, negligence,
copyright or trademark infringement, or other theories based on the nature and
content of the materials disseminated through their services. In addition,
legislation has been proposed that prohibits or imposes liability for the
transmission over the Internet of certain types of information. The potential
that we and other Internet access and online services providers could be exposed
to liability for information carried on or disseminated through Internet access
and online services could require us to take measures to reduce that exposure.
These measures may require that we spend substantial amounts of money and/or
consider discontinuing certain service offerings. Furthermore, the increased
attention focused upon liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative
proposals could impede the growth of Internet use. While we carry liability
insurance, it may not be adequate to fully compensate us in the event we become
liable for information carried on or disseminated through our service. Any costs
not covered by insurance incurred as a result of such liability or asserted
liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
14
<PAGE>
Our business may be hindered or restricted by governmental regulation and
legal uncertainties. We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or
local regulation, and laws or regulations applicable to access to or commerce on
the Internet, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally.
However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet and other
online services, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be
adopted with respect to the Internet or other online services covering issues
such as
o user privacy;
o freedom of expression;
o pricing;
o content and quality of products and services;
o taxation;
o advertising;
o intellectual property rights; and
o information security.
The adoption of any such laws or regulations might also slow down the growth of
Internet use, which in turn could eliminate or decrease the demand for our
GlobalPC and Internet services, increase our cost of doing business or in some
other manner have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
In addition, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing
issues such as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property
issues, taxation, libel, and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of
such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related
technologies and, as a result, do not address the unique issues raised by use of
the Internet and related technologies. We cannot predict whether the federal
government or one or more states will attempt to impose these laws upon us in
the future or whether such imposition will have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Several states have also proposed legislation that would limit the uses of
personal user information gathered online or require online services to
establish privacy policies. Changes to existing laws or the passage of new laws
intended to address these issues could create uncertainty in the marketplace
that could reduce demand for our services or increase the cost of doing
business, or could in some other manner have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Any such new legislation or regulation, or the application of laws or
regulations from
15
<PAGE>
jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
MyTurn.com is qualified to do business in Delaware, New York, California,
Florida and Georgia in the United States. Our failure to qualify as a foreign
corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to
taxes and penalties for the failure to qualify, and could result in our being
unable to enforce contracts in those jurisdictions.
We have no manufacturing experience and if we lose any manufacturer of the
GlobalPC it could cause delay in filling orders. MyTurn.com has no experience in
manufacturing products and does not intend to establish its own manufacturing
operations. The GlobalPC is manufactured for us by an OEM manufacturer. We
believe that if our relationship with this manufacturer ends and we have to
secure another manufacturer, which we believe will be readily available, to
manufacture the GlobalPC to our specifications, we could experience a delay of
approximately 150 days in replenishing inventory. If inventory levels are low,
this could delay the filling of orders. This in turn, could erode customer
relationships and confidence, and cause us to lose customers and orders from
customers.
We could face delays in filling orders if components for our GlobalPC are
unavailable. We rely on the availability of the necessary components for our
GlobalPC's to be manufactured on a timely basis. There is currently a world-wide
shortage of certain components which has caused a slow-down or at times a
temporary halt in production of our GlobalPC units. These shortages may continue
to occur and may even be more severe in the future. If our manufacturer is
unable to produce a sufficient number of GlobalPC units to meet our inventory
and order fulfillment needs in the future, we could suffer a depletion of
inventory. This could delay the filling of orders. As a result, we could
experience an erosion of customer relationships and confidence leading to a loss
of customers.
Risks relating to future acquisitions. We are exploring and will continue
to explore opportunities to add or acquire
o technology or products consistent with our current product
line; and
o businesses that make and/or market products or services not in
our current line of business.
In any opportunity that involves the acquisition of assets or a business,
we can not be certain that
o we will successfully integrate those assets into our planned
operations;
o all the benefits expected from such integration will be
realized;
o delays or unexpected costs related to the integration will not
have a detrimental affect on implementing our business plan,
or on operating results or financial
16
<PAGE>
condition; and
o we will not lose key personnel.
Furthermore, these acquisitions may require us to obtain additional
financing from banks or other financial institutions or to undertake debt or
equity financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing
on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Also, equity financing will result
in a dilution to our existing stockholders; that is, the number of shares that
you own will represent a smaller percentage of our outstanding shares. The
degree of dilution may be significant. In the case of debt financing, we run the
risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay
principal and interest, along with other risks traditionally associated with
incurring indebtedness.
We will usually accomplish acquisitions without prior stockholder approval.
The Board of Directors will decide whether any opportunity to add technology,
products or a business is in the best interest of our stockholders. We cannot be
certain that any such opportunities will arise, or that, if they do, we will be
able to reach an agreement on terms acceptable to us. In most cases, an
acquisition will be concluded without stockholder approval and our stockholders
will not have an opportunity to review the financial statements of, or other
information relating to, the acquisition candidate. Although we will attempt to
evaluate the risks inherent in a particular acquisition, we cannot be certain
that we will properly ascertain or assess such significant risk factors.
Control by management and certain stockholders. Our directors and executive
officers and certain significant stockholders own approximately 11.4% of our
outstanding common shares. If certain of executive officers, directors and
significant stockholders exercise options and warrants which are currently
exercisable, or become exercisable within 60 days, they would own approximately
40.7% of our outstanding shares, giving effect to the exercise of those options
and warrants.
Thus, these persons, if acting together, may have the potential voting
strength to exert significant influence over the election of our directors and
over other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, and certain
state law provisions, could adversely affect our Stockholders. Our Certificate
of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to us
or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, with certain exceptions. These provisions may discourage stockholders
from suing a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood
of derivative lawsuits against any director. A "derivative lawsuit" is one in
which a stockholder sues an officer or director of the corporation on behalf of
the corporation, claiming that the officer or director did some harm to the
corporation. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides for
mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted or not prohibited by Delaware law.
17
<PAGE>
Our Certificate of Incorporation also allows us to issue preferred stock
without approval of the holders of shares. If we issue preferred stock, it could
discourage a third party from buying a majority of our outstanding shares. This,
in turn, could prevent our stockholders from selling their shares at a price
above the market price. The rights that the holders of shares have will be
subject to, and may be negatively affected by, the rights that holders of
preferred stock might be given. In addition, our being governed by a staggered
Board of Directors, certain provisions of our By-Laws, and certain provisions of
Delaware law that are applicable to us all could delay or complicate a merger,
tender offer or proxy contest involving us.
We do not expect to pay dividends. We have never paid any dividends on our
shares and do not intend to in the foreseeable future. We anticipate retaining
any earnings which we may realize in the foreseeable future to finance our
growth.
Nasdaq listing rules could affect our common stock. Our shares are
currently traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. If we are unable to satisfy the
requirements for continued quotation on that market, trading of our shares would
be conducted in the over-the-counter market, in what is commonly referred to as
the "pink sheets" or on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. If the shares
you acquire under this Prospectus are traded only in the "pink sheets" or on the
Electronic Bulletin Board, you may find it more difficult to dispose of the
shares or obtain accurate quotations as to their price.
For continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, we are required to
have, among other things, all of the following:
o either net tangible assets of $2,000,000, or market
capitalization of $35,000,000, or net income for two of the
last three fiscal years of $500,000;
o minimum market value or public float of $1,000,000; and
o minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
Nasdaq also requires that we have at least two independent directors and an
Audit Committee, a majority of whose members must also be independent directors.
Although we currently satisfy the net tangible assets / market capitalization /
net income requirements there is no assurance we will continue to satisfy those
requirements and any other requirement in the short term or the long term. If we
do not develop meaningful operations relating to the sale of the GlobalPC or
other business and we do not sustain operations at a meaningful level, we may
fail to satisfy and maintain the continued listing criteria for the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. In such case, we would, in all likelihood, be delisted from
Nasdaq.
"Penny Stock" rules could effect our common stock. The SEC has regulations
that generally define "penny stock" to be common stock that has a market price
of less than $5.00 per share. Over the past 12 months our shares have traded
both above and below $5.00 per share. Our shares offered are authorized for
quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market; therefore they are exempt from the
definition of "penny stock." However, if our shares are removed from the
18
<PAGE>
Nasdaq SmallCap Market at any time, then, if the market price is below $5.00 per
share they will be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements. The "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to sell our shares, and the penny stock rules may affect your ability to sell
our shares in the secondary market as well as the price at which such sales can
be made. Also, some brokerage firms will decide not to effect transactions in
"penny stocks" and it is unlikely that any bank or financial institution will
accept "penny stock" as collateral.
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special determination that a purchaser is suitable to purchase the shares and
must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to
the purchase. The "penny stock" rules also require the delivery, prior to the
transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose
o the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative,
o current quotations for the shares, and
o if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's
presumed control over the market.
Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for
the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in
penny stocks. These rules would apply to sales by broker-dealers to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors until our shares trade
above $5.00 per share. Accredited investors are generally those with assets in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouse.
A significant number of shares are eligible for sale and their sale could
depress our stock price. Approximately 1,621,692 of our common shares will be
immediately eligible to be sold in the public market as a result of this
offering. Also, approximately 8,109,512 common shares will become eligible for
sale in the public market once warrants to purchase these shares are exercised.
These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $20.25 per share. Of
these warrants, warrants for approximately 5,264,875 common shares are
exercisable now or will become exercisable in 60 days. The remaining warrants
will become exercisable in the future or when performance thresholds are met. We
cannot determine if or when these thresholds will be met. Sales of substantial
amounts of our common shares in the public market after this offering could
depress the market price of our common stock.
If all outstanding options or warrants for our common shares are exercised,
there would be approximately 28,000,000 common shares outstanding.
These sales and the number of outstanding common shares also might make it
more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future
at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
19
<PAGE>
An increase in the number of our outstanding shares could depress the
market price of our shares. We are able to issue additional common shares, or
preferred shares or other securities which are exercisable into common shares,
up to our authorized capital of 60,000,000 common shares. An increase in the
number of outstanding common shares in the future could depress the market price
for our common shares.

available information, MyTurn.com intends to utilize any proceeds received from

The selling stockholders and any agents, broker-dealers or underwriters
that participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any profit on the sale of the shares by them, and any
discounts, commissions or concessions received by them, may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Neither
MyTurn.com nor any individual selling stockholder can presently estimate the
amount of such compensation.
Each selling stockholder and any other person participating in a
distribution of securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, Regulation M, which may restrict certain activities of, and limit
the timing of purchases and sales of securities by, selling stockholders and
other persons participating in a distribution of securities. Furthermore, under
Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited
from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with
respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the
commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or
exemptions. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities
