Item 5. Other Events.
On August 11, 1999, the Company made the following statements in
connection with its recent announced regarding a definitive agreement to acquire
Taponline.com, Inc., the owner of the OnTap.com Web site:
- The Company expects that it will record incremental revenues of at
least $2.0 million in the fiscal year ending January 27, 2001 as a result of the
acquisition, if consummated.
- The Company does not expect that the acquisition, if consummated,
will affect its forecast that it will become cash-flow positive in either the
third or fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending January 26, 2002. The Company
clarified that statements made by its President and Chief Executive Officer in a
media interview on August 10, 1999 referred to becoming cash flow positive, and
not necessarily "turning a profit" as reported by the Dow Jones news service.
Statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements
(within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). When used

expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
apply only as of the date of this report. These statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in consumer
purchasing patterns and advertising spending; timing of, response to and
quantity of our parent's catalog mailings and our own electronic mailings;
changes in the growth rate of internet usage and online user traffic levels;
actions of our competitors; the timing and amount of costs relating to the
expansion of our operations and acquisitions of technology or businesses and
their integration; general economic and market conditions; and other factors
outside our control. These factors, and other factors that appear in this report
or in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our
registration statement (No. 333-15153) on Form S-1, could affect our actual
