ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
OVERVIEW
iChargeit, Inc., a Delaware corporation, provides on-line shopping
which offers a range of computer-related goods and services for sale to
consumers over the Internet. Our primary web site is WWW.SHOPPINGPLANET.COM. We
sell computer hardware, software, and other computer components and peripheral
products to the retail end-user through our Shoppingplanet.com web site and
conduct direct marketing and sales to resellers through our subsidiary Bay Micro
Computers, Inc.
HISTORY
iChargeit, Inc. was incorporated on January 6, 1999 in the State of
Nevada. On March 10, 1999 iChargeit merged with and into Para-Link, Inc., a
Texas corporation incorporated on January 22, 1997. On March 16, 1999 Para-Link
changed its name to iChargeit, Inc. Para-Link was formed for the purpose of
engaging in network marketing of health and nutritional products, but was
inactive at the time of the merger with iChargeit, and had essentially no assets
and no operations. Although Para-Link had essentially no assets and no
operations, shares of Para-Link common stock were traded and available for
quotation through the Over
1
<PAGE>
The Counter Bulletin Board market. Shares of Para-Link common stock were not,
however, registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The iChargeit-Para-Link merger gave holders of iChargeit common
stock potential liquidity, and provided us with a better opportunity to raise
capital. On November 12, 1999, iChargeit, Inc., a Texas corporation,
completed a merger with its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, for the purpose
of reincorporating iChargeit Texas as a Delaware corporation.
Prior to the merger of iChargeit with and into Para-Link, Para-Link had
entered into a Plan and Agreement of Exchange dated February 22, 1999 with
HerbRX, Inc., a Nevada corporation, wherein the parties intended to exchange 4
million shares of common stock of Para-Link for all of the outstanding shares of
HerbRX, and HerbRX was to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Para-Link.
Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger and Agreement between
iChargeit, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Para-Link, Inc., a Texas corporation,
the iChargeit Nevada principals exchanged 100% of their outstanding shares of
stock of iChargeit Nevada for the shares of Para-Link which were held by the
HerbRX principals as a result of the Para-Link/HerbRX Agreement of Exchange. In
exchange for the Para-Link shares from the HerbRX principals, the iChargeit
Nevada principals pledged that they would cause Para-Link/iChargeit to spin off
approximately 80% of HerbRX to the HerbRX principals and undertake the
registration of such securities.
Due to certain misunderstandings of the parties involved with the
Para-Link/HerbRX Plan and Agreement of Exchange, HerbRX was merged with and into
Para-Link and its separate existence was terminated on March 15, 1999. As a
result of this, Para-Link and the former HerbRX shareholders entered into an
Agreement dated as of March 16, 1999 to void the Para-Link/HerbRX merger and
rescind the Agreement and Plan of Exchange between the parties. Pursuant to the
Rescission Agreement entered into as of March 16, 1999, Para-Link formed a new
Nevada corporation named HerbRX, Inc. and issued to the former HerbRX
shareholders shares of common stock in the new HerbRX, in identical amounts and
with identical certificate numbers, and the former HerbRX shareholders released
and indemnified Para-Link for any and all obligations which may have existed
pursuant to the original Plan and Agreement of Exchange between HerbRX and
Para-Link. There is no current relationship between iChargeit and HerbRx or the
HerbRx shareholders.
On November 12, 1999, we completed a merger with Bay Micro Computers,
Inc., a California corporation dba PC Shopping Planet, pursuant to which Bay
Micro Computers became a wholly-owned subsidiary of iChargeit. Bay Micro had
acquired PC Shopping Planet, including the Shoppingplanet.com domain name and
trademark, pursuant to an asset purchase in April of 1999. Although the
certificate of merger for the Bay Micro merger was not filed until November 12,
1999, a majority of the outstanding shares of iChargeit and Bay Micro Computers
were voted to approve the merger on October 5, 1999. Accordingly, our financial
statements and the notes thereto reflect iChargeit and Bay Micro Computers as a
consolidated entity beginning on October 5, 1999.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
The PC hardware market is generally thought to consist of three tiers
of manufacturers, based primarily upon the manufacturers' size and ability to
set industry standards. Tier one consists of five companies (IBM Corporation,
Compaq Computer Corporation, Dell Computer Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company
and Apple Computer, Inc.), which have the research and development capabilities
and reputation to set the standards for the PC manufacturing industry. Tier two
consists of companies such as Micron Technology, Inc., Gateway, Inc., and Acer
Group. These tier two companies create certain products of their own, but more
frequently create clones of tier one products. Tier three consists of all other
computer manufacturers. Tier three manufacturers are clone makers that follow
the technology trends set by tier one manufacturers. Because all manufacturers
generally have access to the same components, they can produce identical systems
of various configurations. The ability of tier three manufacturers to compete
with tier one and tier two manufacturers and with each other depends on the
pricing of systems, the services offered in
2
<PAGE>
connection with a system, and the marketing and sales capability of the tier
three manufacturer or its dealers. We are considered a tier three
manufacturer.
The computer industry is one of the fastest changing industries today,
subject to constant fluctuations in price, technology and products offered.
Although tier one manufacturers once dominated the market, resellers report that
non-branded, or white-box systems are their best selling "brands." In a poll
published in August 1999 by COMPUTER RESELLER NEWS or, CRN, resellers reported
that sales of white-box systems exceeded the sales of the next top three branded
vendors (Compaq, Dell, and Hewlett Packard) combined - citing price, flexibility
in configuration, the ability to upgrade and the ability to provide complete
packages of products and support as the reasons for sales of non-branded
systems.
As white-box systems have become more popular with end-users, tier
three manufacturers have become able to offer their products at a variety of
price points. According to an August 16, 1999 CRN article, the retail prices of
60% of white-box systems, i.e., systems without nationally-recognized brand
names, were under $1,400. Substantially all of the systems that we sell range in
price between $550 and $2,500.
Recently, the PC industry has undergone a fundamental shift in
distribution processes and methods. Traditionally, manufacturers of branded
products, such as IBM, manufactured computers and shipped them to distributors
and dealers who, in turn, shipped them to dealers and end-users, respectively.
End-users, under this distribution process, purchased systems from dealers in
whatever format the original manufacturer provided. Consequently, limited
opportunities existed for end-users to custom-configure their computer systems.
Further, this method required dealers to stockpile considerable inventory
levels, which often could not be sold out before an announced or expected change
in technology. Thus, dealers were forced, in many cases, to sell obsolete
systems. As a result, the traditional distribution method created inefficiencies
and additional costs, as well as consumer dissatisfaction.
While traditional distribution methods persist in certain parts of the
computer industry, in particular in the retail segment, the trend is toward
build-to-order and custom-configured computer systems. Dell and Gateway
pioneered this shift when they began offering custom-built PCs to consumers
primarily for home use. In addition, many of the tier one manufacturers, such as
IBM and Compaq, now use channel assembly methods. These manufacturers ship
products that are not completely assembled to their distributors and rely on the
distributor for final assembly and shipment. This distribution method provides
only limited build-to-order benefits and does not provide the advantage of a
direct contact person to whom the end-user may direct technical and support
questions.
Generally, the number of purchasers and the amount spent for goods on
the Internet is increasing. Forrester Research, Inc. has estimated that the
total e-commerce purchases made in 1998 were $51 billion, of which $43 billion
was business-to-business and $8 billion was consumer. Forrester estimates that
the total will increase to an estimated $551 billion in the year 2001.
Increasingly businesses have been developing electronic commerce sites in
response to this trend. Computer resellers are spending substantial time on the
Internet conducting their business. According to CRN, as of June 1999, 54% of
resellers polled reported that they spent between 11 and 30 hours per week
conducting their business on the Internet. This same poll reported that an
additional 13% of resellers spent 31 hours or more conducting their business on
the Internet. We believe that as resellers and end-users become more comfortable
with the Internet they will rely on it more and that this increased reliance
will translate into a desire on the part of resellers to offer their various
computer systems via electronic commerce.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
VIRTUAL PC BUILDER SOFTWARE
Virtual PC Builder is an on-line configuration package that enables any
computer reseller to offer custom built iChargeit PCs and servers to their
customers on the Internet. iChargeit will license Virtual PC Builder to web
retailers, mail order houses, value added resellers, retailers, and computer
dealers. iChargeit will also customize the software to coexist with the
licensee's present web site. Our software provides Virtual PC Builder licensees
and their customers an easy to use method of configuring, ordering, and tracking
customized iChargeit PCs, and servers.
Virtual PC Builder contains many attributes to allow the customer to
easily build a system, including real-time pricing, complete product
specifications, on-line help menus, technical specifications of each component,
order tracking, secure ordering and automated cost updates. Virtual PC Builder
offers complete order fulfillment and tracking, on-site warranty and technical
support.
VIRTUALPCBUILDER.COM
We developed virtualpcbuilder.com, a proprietary Internet-based
development tool, to capitalize on two significant trends: e-commerce and the
desire for custom-built, custom-configured computer systems. Through
virtualpcbuilder.com, we provide end-users with the ability to custom-configure,
price and order iChargeit or name brand products directly on-line. This division
offers over 62,000 products from all major manufacturers. This includes all tier
one manufacturers and all computer categories such as printers, scanners,
digital cameras, high-end video equipment and accessories.
The heart of virtualpcbuilder.com is our proprietary configurator. We
designed the configurator to link virtualpcbuilder.com and Virtual PC Builder
licensed web sites directly to our warehouse. The configurator is designed to
act as an invisible window that will route orders placed with individual
customers to us for processing and fulfillment. Our configurator is designed to
test compatibility of the various component and system choices made by
end-users, thus prohibiting end-users from making incompatible software,
hardware and component choices.
We manufacture the custom built products ordered via the configurator.
We believe that custom-built, custom-configured computers provide solutions that
are relevant to the needs of end-users. While we will maintain proprietary
rights in virtualpcbuilder.com and its configurator, we will provide them to our
customers for their use, through Virtual PC Builder licensing. We believe that
Virtual PC Builder will allow customers to meet their needs in a flexible and
efficient manner, and in a manner that allows customers to provide cutting-edge
technological choices without having to maintain significant inventory levels.
Development of virtualpcbuilder.com has been completed for end-user
customers and internet resllers. It was launched in March 2000 under our own
end-user site Shoppingplanet.com.
PC SHOPPING PLANET
PC Shopping Planet originally was founded in September 1995 as a mail
order business, and began selling over the Internet approximately two months
later. Bay Micro acquired PC Shopping Planet, including the Shoppingplanet.com
domain name and trademark, pursuant to an asset purchase in April 1999.
Currently, PC Shopping Planet is an Internet retailer of computers, computer
components and peripherals, and computer upgrade kits. The PC Shopping Planet
web site is at www.Shoppingplanet.com.
PC Shopping Planet offers a wide range of high-quality personal
computer hardware, including mother boards, memory chips, multi-media kits,

customer service representatives are available during normal business hours to
answer all product questions and to provide technical support. PC Shopping
Planet also sends informative e-mail newsletters to its customers providing
product announcements, technical tips and computer news to its customers.
BAY MICRO COMPUTERS
Bay Micro Computers is a wholeseller and direct marketer of computer
hardware, software and other computer components and peripheral products,
primarily to a network of resellers, universities, school districts and
government agencies. Bay Micro offers a line of desktop personal computers under
the brand name Bay Micro Computers. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. contributes up
to $3,500 per quarter towards Bay Micro advertising that includes the AMD logo
and AMD products available through Bay Micro. Bay Micro also has relationships
with several other leading computer hardware manufacturers, including SOYO and
iWill, both motherboard manufacturers. SOYO's United States web site,
www.soyousa.com, and iWill's web site, iwillusa.com, provide links to our
Shoppingplanet.com site, and list our telephone number. We are authorized
resellers and direct distributors for both manufacturers. The ability of Bay
Micro to maintain these relationships, as well as establishing additional direct
relationships with other leading computer manufacturers, is essential to Bay
Micro's ability to remain competitive, in order to obtain competitive pricing
and joint marketing assistance.
COMPETITION
The microcomputer industry is intensely competitive and characterized
by dynamic customer demand patterns, frequent introduction of new products,
technological advances and product obsolescence. In addition, the pricing
environment is extremely competitive, and there is a variety of competing
distribution channels. We anticipate that the microcomputer industry will
continue to experience intense price competition and dramatic price reductions,
as well as intense competition among distribution channels. In addition to
pricing, the principal elements of competition among manufacturers are product
quality and usability, performance characteristics, distribution capability,
ability to customize, service and support and reputation. We compete with a
number of large tier one and tier two manufacturers, including Compaq, IBM,
Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Dell, and Gateway. We compete with the larger name
manufacturers mostly on the basis of quality, price and performance.
Substantially all of our competitors have significantly greater financial,
marketing and technological resources than we do.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We own no patents, nor have we applied for any patents covering our
products. We are subject to risks related to misappropriation of the proprietary
technology upon which virtualpcbuilder.com is being designed. While we believe
that we are designing virtualpcbuilder.com to be secure, computer "hackers" are
becoming increasingly sophisticated. Any misappropriation of our technology
could subject us to increased competition and the loss of our perceived
advantage over other competitors.
We own the rights to the registered trademarks "iChargeit-Registerd
Trademark-" and "Shoppingplanet".

SERVICE AND PRODUCT WARRANTY
We provide dealers and end-users with access to its technical support
line for answers to questions that require immediate attention. We maintain a
database of technical information that we can easily access in response to
customer inquiries in order to provide quick and accurate answers to dealers. We
also provide file access for our dealers, featuring a secure Internet site
equipped to provide access to up-to-date support and technical information. We
also provide our dealers with current product information, including manuals,
specifications and product change notifications.
We utilize what we believe is an effective product tracking system
which allows us to track product failure history from initial quality control
testing to customer arrival and up to twelve months thereafter. Each
iChargeit product is sold with a one-year original equipment
manufacturer'swarranty for the benefit of the end-user.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission or the
"FCC", regulates the radio frequency emissions of computing equipment. The FCC
has established two standards for computer products, Class A and Class B. Only
Class B products may be sold for use in a residential environment. Both Class A
and Class B products may be sold for use in a commercial environment. All of
iChargeit's current desktop, notebook, workstation and network server systems
are sold under the more restrictive Class B certification.
iChargeit's business also is subject to regulation by various other
federal and state governmental agencies. Such regulation includes the antitrust
regulatory activities of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Department of
Justice, the import/export regulatory activities of the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the product safety regulatory activities of the U.S. Consumer
Products Safety Commission.
iChargeit also is required to obtain regulatory approvals in other
countries prior to the sale or shipment of products. In certain jurisdictions,
such requirements are more stringent than in the United States. Many developing
nations are just beginning to establish safety, environmental and other
regulatory requirements, which may vary greatly from U.S. requirements.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 2000, including Bay Micro Computers, we have 20 salaried
employees and 3 hourly employees.
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND FUTURE RESULTS
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
We have conducted an electronic commerce based business since March
10, 1999. Since that time, we have developed our web site and expanded the
range of products and services we offer. We have not generated significant
recurring revenues from on-line electronic commerce services. Accordingly, we
have a limited operating history, which makes an evaluation of our business
and prospects difficult. Our business and prospects must be considered in
light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by
companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new
and rapidly evolving markets such as on-line electronic commerce. These risk
and difficulties include, but are not limited to:
- an evolving and unpredictable business model;
- our ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing and
rapidly changing market;
- unforeseen changes and developments in our strategic partners'
activities and direction;
6
<PAGE>
- lack of sufficient customers, orders, sales or cash flow; and
- lack of widespread acceptance of the Internet as a means of
purchasing products and services.
In order to address these risks, we must, among other things:
- implement and execute our business strategy successfully;
- continue to develop and upgrade our technology;
- improve our web site and product offerings in response to
competitive developments;
- provide superior customer service;
- attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and
- meet the expectations of our strategic partners.
We cannot assure you that we will succeed in addressing these risks,
and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
HISTORICALLY, WE HAVE LOST MONEY AND WE ANTICIPATE ADDITIONAL LOSSES IN THE
FUTURE
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses, and
as of June 30, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $11,047,000. We expect to
increase our operating expenses significantly to expand our marketing
operations, and increase our level of capital expenditures to further develop
and maintain our proprietary software. Such increases in operating expense
levels and capital expenditures will adversely affect short-term operating
results, and therefore we believe that we will incur substantial losses for at
least the next twelve months. We cannot assure you that we ever will achieve or
maintain profitability or generate cash from operations.
WE CANNOT ACCURATELY PREDICT OUR REVENUES DUE TO OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
In light of our limited operating history and the rapidly evolving
nature of the markets in which we compete, our revenues and operating revenues
are difficult to predict. We expect to experience significant fluctuations in
our future quarterly operating results due to a variety of factors, many of
which are outside our control. Factors that may adversely affect our quarterly
operating results include the following:
- our ability to attract and retain merchants on our web site;
- the level of traffic on our web site and our ability to
convert visitors to our web site into customers;
- consumer confidence in encrypted transactions on the Internet;
- the level of use of the Internet and on-line services;
- increasing consumer acceptance of the Internet as a medium for
commerce;
- our ability to upgrade and develop our systems and
infrastructure that we use to process customer's orders and
payments;
7
<PAGE>
- the announcement or introduction of new sites, services and
products by us and our competitors;
- consumer demand and acceptance of the products and services we
offer;
- the level of product returns;
- unexpected increases in shipping costs or delivery times;
- technical difficulties, system downtime or Internet brownouts;
- the amount and timing of operating costs and capital;
- expenditures relating to expansion of our business;
- any future governmental regulation;
- the termination of existing or failure to develop new
relationships with our business partners; and
- general economic conditions and economic conditions specific
to the Internet and on-line commerce.
We also face unforeseeable seasonal sales fluctuations related to our
increasing focus on retail Internet commerce. Due to the above factors, our
operating results likely will fluctuate in the future, making period to period
comparisons difficult and possibly unreliable. Any change in the above factors
could reduce our gross margins in future periods. If our operating results fall
below the expectations of our stockholder and/or securities analysts and
investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely decrease
significantly.
See "Item 6 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation."
WE NEED TO ATTRACT VISITORS AND GENERATE REVENUE
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to generate
substantial revenue. We have been engaged in electronic commerce for less than
one year, and are continuing to upgrade our web site and increase the number of
products and services we offer. Our future success depends on our ability to
attract visitors and convert visitors into customers who make repeated purchases
over time. If we fail to attract customers and repeat purchasers, we will not
grow or become profitable.
WE MUST MANAGE OUR GROWTH
We believe that we must expand our present operations significantly in
order to maximize potential growth. This expansion would likely place a
significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. We
may hire new employees for a number of key managerial and technical positions,
and we will need to integrate them into our management team. In order to manage
our growth, we must continue to implement and improve our operational and
financial systems, expand existing operations, attract and retain superior
management and train, manage and expand our employee base. Further, our
management will have to maintain relationships with various merchants and other
third parties. We cannot assure you that we will manage the expansion of our
operations effectively, that our systems, procedures or controls will support
our operations adequately or that our management will implement our business
plan successfully. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could suffer a material adverse
effect.
8
<PAGE>
WE EXPECT THAT WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESS. GROWTH
AND ACQUISITIONS MAY STRAIN OUR MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
We expect that we will require additional financing in order to
expand our business. Our working capital requirements over the next twelve
months will depend on a variety of factors, including our ability to
implement our business plan. We cannot assure you that we will successfully
negotiate or obtain additional financing, or that we will obtain financing on
terms favorable or acceptable to us. We do not have any commitments for
additional financing. Our ability to obtain additional capital depends on
market conditions, the national economy and others factors outside our
control. If we do not obtain adequate financing or such financing is not
available on acceptable terms, our ability to finance our expansion, develop
or enhance services or products or respond to competitive pressures would be
limited significantly. Our failure to secure necessary financing could have a
material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations. "Item 6 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan
of Operation."
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF INTERNET COMMERCE
The market for the sale of goods over the Internet is a new and
emerging market. Rapid growth in the use of, and interest in, the Internet is a
recent phenomenon and may not continue to develop. Our business could be harmed
if any of the following situations occur:
- the use of the Internet does not continue to grow or grows
more slowly than expected;
- the Internet's infrastructure does not effectively support the
growth that may occur; and
- the Internet does not become a viable commercial marketplace.
WE DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT AND ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
We believe that our trademarks and other proprietary rights are
important to our success and competitive position. However, we do not possess
any patents. We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret
laws to protect our proprietary rights. We have registered the "Shoppingplanet"
trademark in the United States and claim trademark rights in, and have applied
for trademark registrations in the United States for "iChargeit." We cannot
assure you that we will secure significant protection for our proprietary rights
or that claims will not be made against us in connection with our proprietary
rights. The actions we take to establish and protect our trademarks and other
proprietary rights may be inadequate to prevent imitation of our services or
products or to prevent others from claiming violations of their trademarks and
proprietary rights by us. In addition, others may develop similar technology
independently or assert rights in our trademarks and other proprietary rights.
The laws of other countries may afford us little or no effective protection of
our additional property.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AGAINST US CAN BE COSTLY AND COULD IMPAIR OUR
BUSINESS
Other parties may assert infringement or unfair competition claims
against us. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims of
infringement against us, or whether any past or future assertions or
prosecutions will harm our business. If we are forced to defend against any such
claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor,
then we may face costly litigation, diversion of technical and management
personnel, or product shipment delays. As a result of such a dispute, we may
have to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may be
unavailable on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If there is a successful claim
of product infringement against us, or at all. If there is a successful claim of
product infringement against us and we are unable to develop non-infringing
technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, it
could impair our business.

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO ADAPT TO RAPIDLY CHANGING
TECHNOLOGIES IN OUR INDUSTRY
The market in which we compete is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new service and product
announcements, introductions and enhancements, and changing customer demands.
These market characteristics are exacerbated by the emerging nature of the
internet and the introduction by companies from multiple industries of web-based
based products and services. Accordingly, our future success will depend on our
ability to adapt to these changes and to improve the performance, features and
reliability of our service in response to competitive service and product
offerings, emerging technology and evolving demands of the marketplace. If we
fail to adapt to these changes, there would be a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the
widespread adoption of new Internet, networking or telecommunications
technologies or other technological changes could require us to make substantial
expenditures to modify or adapt our services or infrastructure, which could have
a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The success of our services will depend in large part upon industry
development of an infrastructure for providing Internet access and services. A
number of these issues are beyond our control:
- The Internet could lose its viability due to delays in the
development or adoption of new standards and protocols
intended to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or
due to increased governmental regulation.
- The recent growth in the use of the Internet has caused
frequent periods of performance degradation, requiring the
upgrade of routers and switches, telecommunications links and
other components forming the infrastructure of the Internet
service providers and other organizations with links to the
Internet. Any actual or perceived degradation in the
performance of the Internet as a whole could decrease the
demand for our services.
- Our ability to increase the speed with which we provide
services to customers and the scope of such services
ultimately is limited by and reliant upon the speed and
reliability of the networks operated by third parties. Thus,
the emergence and growth of the market for our services is
dependent on improvements being made to the entire Internet
infrastructure to alleviate overloading and congestion.
If the infrastructure or complementary services necessary to make the
Internet a viable commercial marketplace are not developed or if the Internet
does not become a viable commercial marketplace, our business, results of
operations and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OPERATIONS
Our performance depends substantially on the continued services and
performance of our senior management and other key personnel particularly Jesse
Cohen, our Chief Executive Officer. Our performance also depends on our ability
to retain and motivate our other officers and key employees. We have relatively
few senior personnel, and thus the loss of any single individual could interrupt
our operations significantly. The loss of the services of any of our executive
officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. All of our
senior management joined us in the part year. Our future success depends on the
ability of these officers working together effectively. Our future success also
depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate
other highly skilled technical, managerial and marketing personnel. Competition
for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will succeed in
attracting and retaining such personnel. Our failure to attract and retain the
necessary technical, managerial and marketing personnel could have a material
adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.

THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE OPERATE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND MANY OF OUR
COMPETITORS ARE LARGER AND HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESOURCES THAN WE DO
The on-line electronic commerce market, particularly over the web, is
new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Our current or potential
competitors include the following:
- E-commerce solution providers that provide shopping cart based
transaction products such as Yahoo/Viaweb, icat and Pandesic;
- Web developers that incorporate E-commerce products in their
solutions such as Mercantec, Hiway and Simplenet;
- on-line shopping malls and auction houses such as The Internet
Mall, iMall, Branch Mall, the Yahoo Shopping Guide, eBay and
Amazon.com; and
- product search software and comparison shopping sites such as
Excite's Jango, Yahoo Junglee, MSN's sidewalk and
Webmarket.com.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market are:
- brand recognition;
- brand selection;
- personalized services;
- convenience;
- price;
- accessibility;
- customer service;
- quality of search tools;
- quality of editorial and other site content; and
- reliability and speed of fulfillment.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger
customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial,
marketing and other resources. Certain of our competitors may secure merchandise
from vendors on better terms, devote greater resources to marketing and
promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory availability
policies and devote substantially more resources to web site and systems
development. If our competitors are able to offer products and services on more
favorable terms, we will suffer result in reduced operating margins, loss of
market share and a diminished brand franchise. We cannot assure you that we will
compete successfully against our current and future competitors.
We expect that competition in the on-line commerce market will
intensify in the future. For example, as various market segments obtain large,
loyal customer bases, participants in those segments may seek to leverage their
market power to the detriment of participants in other market segments.
Competitive pressures
11
<PAGE>
created by any one of our competitors, or by our competitors collectively,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
INSECURE TRANSMISSION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND THIRD PARTY MISCONDUCT
COULD HURT CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IN INTERNET COMMERCE
Many consumers are concerned about transmitting confidential
information, such as credit card numbers, over the Internet. Public confidence
in secure transmissions is a significant barrier to Internet commerce and
communications. We rely on encryption technology licensed from third parties to
transmit confidential information, including customer credit card numbers. In
addition, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic
break-ins, deliberate attempts by third parties to exceed the capacity of our
systems and similar disruptive problems. Computer viruses, break-ins or other
problems caused by third parties could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of
data or cessation in service to users of our services and products. The law
relating to the liability of Internet service companies for information carried
on or disseminated through their services currently is unsettled. It possible
that claims could be made against Internet service companies under both U.S. and
foreign law 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. Concerns regarding liability for
information disseminated over the Internet and the adoption of any additional
laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which could
decrease the demand for our Internet services and harm our business.
OUR NET SALES AND GROSS MARGINS WOULD DECREASE IF WE EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT
CREDIT CARD FRAUD
A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions
would reduce our net sales and our gross margins because we do not carry
insurance against this risk. We have developed technology to help us to detect
the fraudulent use of credit card information. Under current credit card
practices, we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions because we do
not obtain a cardholder's signature.
WE ARE AT RISK OF SYSTEM FAILURE
Our success is largely dependent upon our communications hardware and
computer hardware, substantially all of which is located at the Netgateway, Inc.
co-location facility housed by Exodus in Irvine, California. Our systems are
vulnerable to damage from earthquake, fire, flood, power loss, telecommunication
failure, break-in and similar events. Though we have servers in two locations,
we do not have redundant systems.
A substantial interruption in these systems would have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
To date, we have experienced variable interruptions to our service as a result
of loss of power and telecommunications connections. Our property and business
interruption insurance coverage may not be adequate to compensate us for all
losses that may occur.
Despite our implementation of network security measures and firewall
security, our servers also are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or
electronic break-ins, deliberate attempts by third parties to exceed the
capacity of our systems, and similar disruptive problems. Computer viruses,
break-ins or other problems caused by third parties could lead to interruptions,
delays, loss of data or cessation in service to users of our services and
products. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
IF WE EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS IN OUR DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS, WE COULD LOSE
CUSTOMERS
We rely upon third-party carriers for product shipments, including
shipments to and from our distribution facility. We are therefore subject to the
risks, including employee strikes and inclement weather, associated with such
carriers' ability to provide delivery services to meet our shipping needs. In
addition,
12
<PAGE>
failure to deliver products to our customers in a timely manner would damage
our reputation and brand. We also depend upon temporary employees to
adequately staff our distribution facility, particularly during the holiday
shopping season. If we do not have sufficient sources of temporary employees,
we could lose customers.
ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS COULD BE IMPOSED ON OUR INDUSTRY
We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any government
agency other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, laws
applicable to auction companies and auctioneers, and laws or regulations
directly applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet. However, due to
the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number
of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, covering
issues such as user privacy, pricing and characteristics and quality of products
and services. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for Internet
commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may
impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business over the
Internet.
The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the
growth of the Internet, which, in turn, could decrease the demand for our
Internet auctions and other services and increase our cost of doing business.
Any decrease in the growth of the Internet or laws which increase our cost of
doing business would have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws in various
jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership, auction regulation,
sales tax, libel and personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to
resolve. In addition, because our service is available over the Internet in
multiple states and we sell to numerous consumers in such states, such
jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a
foreign corporation in each such state. 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. Any such new legislation or
regulation, or the application of laws or regulations from 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.
STATES COULD IMPOSE OBLIGATIONS TO COLLECT SALES TAXES
Generally, we do not collect sales or other similar taxes with respect
to goods sold by users through our on-line service. However, one or more states
may seek to impose sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies
such as ours, which engage in or facilitate on-line commerce, and a number of
proposals have been made at the state and local level that would impose
additional taxes on the sale of goods and services through the Internet. Such
proposals, if adopted, could impair the growth of electronic commerce
substantially and could affect adversely our opportunity to derive financial
benefit from such activities. Moreover, a successful assertion by one or more
states or any foreign country that we should collect sales or other taxes for
the exchange of merchandise on its system could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
WE ARE LARGELY CONTROLLED BY MANAGEMENT
Our officers and directors currently own or control a substantial
majority of our outstanding common stock. If they act in concert, they will be
able to exercise voting control over iChargeit, elect our entire Board of
Directors, set dividend policy and determine our management affairs. This voting
and managerial control will continue until these officers and directors choose
to sell approximately 30% of their holdings or the Company increases the total
outstanding shares of its common stock by approximately 300% and these
additional shares are not controlled or owned by our officers or directors, This
management control could preclude, or make it more difficult to effect, a sale
of iChargeit that is not on terms acceptable to our management.

<PAGE>
INTEGRATING NEW ACQUISITIONS INTO OUR BUSINESS MAY BE DIFFICULT
If appropriate opportunities present themselves, we intend to acquire
businesses, technologies, services or products that we believe will grow our
business. We currently have no understandings, commitments or agreements with
respect to any material acquisition and no material acquisition currently is
being pursued. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify, negotiate
or finance future acquisitions successfully, or integrate such acquisitions into
our current business. The process of integrating an acquired business,
technology, service, product or personnel may result in unforeseen operating
difficulties and expenditures, and may absorb significant management attention
that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business.
Moreover, we cannot assure you that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition
will be realized. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies,
services or products might require us to obtain additional equity or debt
financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us, or available at
all, and such financing, if available, might result in substantial dilution to
our stockholders.
WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. THE SALE OF SOME OR
ALL OF OUR SHARES COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO FALL.
We are not registering our common stock for sale or resale pursuant to
this annual report. However, this annual report fulfills a portion of our
reporting obligations pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
availability of adequate current public information about us is one condition
for sales of our stock to be made pursuant to Rule 144. The availability of Rule
144 will increase the number of shares of our common stock eligible for public
sale, as discussed below.
As of June 30, 2000 and assuming there was no exercise of options or
warrants after September 30, 2000, 11,306,260 shares of our common stock were
issued and outstanding. Of this number, 2,364,760 shares are freely tradable
without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Of
the total shares outstanding, 8,988,126 of these shares are held by "affiliates"
as that term is defined in Rule 144, and are subject to certain limitations and
restrictions that are described below.
8,941,500 shares of our common stock out of 11,306,260 shares are
"restricted shares" as that term is defined in Rule 144 and therefore may not be
sold publicly unless they are registered under the Securities Act or are sold
pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration. In addition to Rule
144 restrictions, the principals of Bay Micro Computers, Inc., who hold an
aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock, have entered into "lock-up
agreements" with us. These lock-up agreements provide that, except under limited
exceptions, the stockholder may not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of any of our common stock or securities that are convertible into or
exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, our common stock until
August 4, 2000. The Bay Micro principals acquired our shares upon the
effectiveness of our acquisition of Bay Micro on November 12, 1999.
As of June 30, 2000, there were a total of 3,767,500 shares of common
stock subject to outstanding options under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan,
2,825,000 of which were vested. We intend to file registration statements on
Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register all of the shares of common stock
issued or reserved for future issuance under the Plan. After the effective dates
of the registration statements on Form S-8, shares purchased upon exercise of
options granted pursuant to the Plan generally would be available for resale in
the public market.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days
after the date adequate current public information about us is available, which
will occur 90 days after the date of this annual report, a person who has owned
beneficially shares of our common stock for at least one year would be entitled
to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed
the greater of:
- 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding,
which will equal approximately 113,063 shares as of June 30,
2000; or
14
<PAGE>
- the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on the
Nasdaq Over the Counter Bulletin Board during the four
calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144
with respect to such sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain other requirements
regarding the manner of sale, notice of filing and the availability of current
public information about us.
RULE 144(k)
Under Rule 144(k), a person who has not been one of our "affiliates" at
any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has owned beneficially the
shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, generally including the
holding period of any prior owner other than an "affiliate," is entitled to sell
such shares without complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume
limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Therefore, unless otherwise
restricted, "144(k) shares" may be sold at any time.
RULE 701
In general, under Rule 701, any of our employees, directors, officers,
consultants or advisors who purchase shares from us in connection with a
compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the
effective date of this annual report is entitled to resell such shares 90 days
after the effective date of this annual report in reliance on Rule 144, without
having to comply with certain restrictions, including the holding period,
contained in Rule 144.
The SEC has indicated that Rule 701 will apply to typical stock options
granted by an issuer before it becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, along with the shares acquired upon
exercise of such options (including exercises after the date of this
prospectus). Securities issued in reliance on Rule 701 are restricted securities
and, subject to the contractual restrictions described above, beginning 90 days
after the date of this prospectus, may be sold by persons other than
"affiliates," as issued in reliance on Rule 701 may be sold by "affiliates"
under Rule 144 without compliance with its one year minimum holding period
requirement.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Our headquarters are located at 2184 West 190th Street, Torrance,
California 90504. We occupy approximately 9,700 square feet of commercial office
and warehouse space pursuant to a three year lease that commenced on November 1,
1999, with Bay Micro Computers, Inc. as the original, sole lessee. iChargeit and
BayMicro currently share use of the Torrance facility. The total monthly rent is
$6,900 during the term of the lease.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are a defendant in an action in Los Angeles Superior Court, brought
by Nicom Computers, Inc. The suit was filed on August 31, 2000, alleging unfair
competition and related causes of action. Nicom claims that we wrongfully
acquired and used allegedly confidential or trade secret business information of
the Nicom. Although Nicom does not specify the amount of its claimed damages, it
asserts lost sales of at least $2,000,000 as well as punitive damages. This case
is in its early stages. Nicom's initial motion for a preliminary injunction was
denied.
While the ultimate outcome of this litigation is uncertain, we believe
we have meritorious defenses to the claims made and intend to vigorously defend
the case.
15
<PAGE>
An unfavorable outcome in this matter could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition. Even if the ultimate outcome is resolved in
our favor, the defense of such litigation could entail considerable cost and the
diversion of the efforts of management, either of which could harm our business.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Not applicable.

DIVIDENDS
iChargeit has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying
dividends for at least the next twelve months. The Board of Directors intends to
retain earnings, if any, to finance growth. Accordingly, any payment of
dividends by us in the future will depend upon our need for working capital and
our financial condition at the time.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES ISSUANCES
The following is a summary of transactions by iChargeit during the last
three years preceding the date hereof involving sales of iChargeit's securities
that were not registered under the Securities Act. All share amounts set forth

common stock. No consideration was paid by the Company in connection with this
stock split. All of the sales of securities were sold at below fair market
value, unless otherwise noted.

GENERAL
iChargeit develops Internet resources to provide internet users with a
comprehensive web site where they can obtain goods and services. We are in the
process of implementing our business model and entering into contracts with
merchants who can provide the goods and services to be sold through our web
site. We launched our website, www.ichargeit.com, on March 1, 1999. Because of
the completion of our acquisition on October 5, 1999 of Bay Micro Computers,
Inc., a California corporation dba PC Shopping Planet our primary web site is
www.Shoppingplanet.com.
In the March 1999 merger of iChargeit, Inc., a Nevada corporation and
Para-link, a Texas corporation, iChargeit Nevada's principals exchanged 100% of
their outstanding shares of stock of iChargeit Nevada for 4,000,000 shares of
Para-Link. As a result of this transaction, the separate legal existence of
iChargeit Nevada ceased and Para-link continued as the surviving corporation and
changed its name to iChargeit, Inc., a Texas corporation.
Management of iChargeit Nevada chose to effect this merger primarily in
order to provide liquidity for our common stock. Management believed a merger
would be less expensive and less time-consuming than effecting an underwritten
public offering of iChargeit's common stock. Furthermore, a merger eliminates
the risk associated with an initial public offering, or IPO. Many companies
invest a substantial amount of time and capital during the IPO process and are
not able to effectuate a successful transaction because of market conditions or
poor performance of the underwriter. Management thus believed that a merger was
a better approach than an IPO because of the reduced cost, risk and time. The
officers of iChargeit before the merger and the officers of Para-link determined
the number of shares of common stock to be issue to the historical shareholders
of iChargeit by negotiation. The value of such issuance was not based on
iChargeit's book value or any established valuation criteria. A primary
consideration in determining the number of shares to be issue to the original
shareholders was the offering of adequate consideration to gain control by the
shareholders of iChargeit Nevada.
On November 12, 1999, we completed our acquisition of Bay Micro
Computers, Inc. by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours with and into Bay
Micro. Pursuant to the acquisition, we issued 4,000,000 shares of our common
stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Bay Micro. As a result of this
acquisition, Bay Micro Computers, Inc. now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of iChargeit, Inc. See "Business-History."
We expect our future revenue to be derived from several sources
including: (i) retail sales of goods to consumers; (ii) commissions or royalties
paid by strategic partners for orders received through us; (iii) advertising on
our web sites, and (iv) fees for electronic commerce services and fees paid by
store vendors featured on our web site. We also expect significant growth in
revenues in future periods to reflect our acquisition of Bay Micro Computers,
Inc., and specifically revenues generated by Bay Micro's Internet web site at
www.shoppingplanet.com.
Because we have a limited operating history, we believe that
year-to-year comparisons prior to fiscal 2000, and quarterly comparisons prior
to the second quarter of fiscal 2000, do not provide a meaningful analysis of
our operating results. Accordingly, we provide below a discussion and analysis
of our results of operation for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.
SALES REVENUE. Revenue sales of merchandise for the twelve months,
ended June 30, 2000 was $6,172,000. Revenue from external customers was from
eight and one half months of wholesale sales of
23
<PAGE>
computers and related hardware components and computer software principally
generated from Bay Micro, our newly acquired company. We expect our sales
growth to continue in the future. Revenue includes shipping and handling fees
charged to customers purchases.
SERVICE REVENUES. Our service revenues are comprised of advertising
revenues and fees paid for a presence in our Internet Cyber-Mall. We recognize
revenue when merchandise is shipped or services are performed. Service Revenues
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 were $27,000. We intend to raise
additional funds in the future in order to increase our advertising by
conducting direct mail campaigns targeted to consumer households, placing
advertisements in newspapers, and eventually through radio and television
campaigns. We expect advertising to drive additional traffic to our web sites
thereby increasing our revenues through increased sales of our products. We
intend to cross-promote the various iChargeit Internet sites with the Shopping
Planet brand name, further allowing us to broaden our customer base.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales consists of the cost of computer
components assembled, computer related products, computer software, the
merchandise costs of any products sold online. Cost of revenue is affected by
our ability to source merchandise cost effectively, to attract significant
traffic to our web sites, and to achieve a favorable balance between visitors
and visitors who purchase merchandise from us. Our gross profit margin for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2000 was $669,000, or approximately 10.8% of sales
revenues. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of sales.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expenses for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 were $1,961,000 excluding the non-cash
compensatory expense of $2,952,000 and amortization of goodwill expense of
$178,000. General and administrative expenses consists of payroll expenses,
sales and marketing expenses including advertising and promotional expenditures,
technology and development expenses including expenses related to the
development of our web sites, related software and legal and accounting
expenses.
NON-CASH COMPENSATORY EXPENSES. Our non-cash compensatory expenses for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 were $2,952,000. These non-cash
compensatory expenses consisted of charges relating to the issuance of 815,000
shares of common stock to certain officers of the corporation in connection with
their employment agreements which is being amortized over the vesting period
(completed in the year ended June 30, 2000) and 6,000 shares issued in
connection with the original merger transaction and options granted to certain
consultants.
NET LOSS. We had a net loss of $4,433,000, for twelve months ended June
30, 2000. The loss was due in part to expenses incurred with the organization of
our web business, and to professional expenses relating to our Delaware
re-incorporation merger, and the preparation of this annual report and non-cash
compensatory charges of $2,952,000 and amortization of goodwill expense of
$178,000. We expect to continue to increase our revenue, as we are able to raise
additional funds and make investments in expanding our customer base and
Internet operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2000, we had $118,000 in cash. From our inception through
June 30, 2000, we financed our operations primarily through private sales of our
securities, and deferred payment of salaries and other expenses due to related
parties. From January 1999 through June 1999, we issued 2,286,000 shares of our
common stock for services provided in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.
From April through July 1999 we sold 301,750 shares of our common stock
to private investors. We realized net proceeds of $603,500 from these sales, of
which $578,500 was received through June 30, 1999.
On June 17, 1999, a principal stockholder agreed to transfer 157,686
shares of our common stock into escrow for the benefit of iChargeit. In
connection therewith, we recorded the 157,686 shares of common stock as treasury
stock at its fair market value on the day it was placed in the escrow. From July
through October of
24
<PAGE>
1999, we received approximately $153,000 from the sale of the shares held in
escrow, which will be treated as a capital transaction.
In November and December 1999 we raised an aggregate of $750,000 of
which, after fees and expenses, it received $618,000, from the sale of 230,771
units consisting of five shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one
additional share of our common stock for an exercise price of $2.50 per share
expiring September 1, 2002.
During the fiscal fourth quarter ending June 30, 2000, we borrowed a
total of $66,000 from three private individuals for opening cash flow purposes.
As of November 1, 2000, $20,000 remained outstanding.
We anticipate that we will have negative cash flows for at least the
next twelve months. Net proceeds from our private placement are being used for
working capital needs, including advertising, brand development, and development
of our e-commerce web site infrastructure. Through June 30, 2000, we incurred
legal and auditing expenses for preparations relating to becoming a reporting
company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
expenditures include $196,000 in legal expenses and $150,000 for audit expenses.
Other than normal, recurring legal and audit expenses, we expect our expenses
for legal and auditing services to decrease substantially upon completion of the
process of our registering as a public reporting company pursuant to the
Exchange Act, which we expect to be substantially complete by the end of our
fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2000.
We intend to retain any earnings for at least the next twelve months
for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Consequently, we do not
anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock to our stockholders for
at least the next twelve months.
Management believes that currently available funds will not be
sufficient to sustain us at present levels for the period through June 30, 2001.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain
additional equity and/or debt financing to fund our operation. We plan to raise
additional financing and to increase sales volume. There is no assurance that we
will obtain additional financing or achieve profitable operations or cash
inflows.
In the event that funding from internal and external sources is
insufficient, we would have to substantially cut back our level of spending
which would substantially curtail our operations. These reductions could have an
adverse effect on our relations with our customers. Uncertainty exists about the
adequacy of current funds to support the Company's activities until positive
cash flow from operations can be achieved, and uncertainty exists about the
availability of financing from other sources to fund any cash deficiencies. See
our Financial Statements.

financial disclosure.

(1) The options listed in the table were granted in fiscal 2000 under
iChargeit's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, which was adopted by the Board
of Directors on August 17, 1999 subject to stockholder approval, which
was obtained on November 12, 1999. No options were granted during
fiscal 1999.
(2) Based upon options granted for an aggregate of 2,737,500 shares to
employees in fiscal 2000, including the Executive Officers.
(3) The exercise price was based on the fair market value of iChargeit
common stock on the effective date of grant. The exercise price may be
paid in cash, in shares of iChargeit's common stock valued at fair
market value on the exercise date or through a cashless exercise
procedure involving a same-day sale of the purchased shares. iChargeit
may also finance the option exercise by loaning the optionee sufficient
funds to pay the exercise price for the purchased shares, together with
any federal and state income tax liability incurred by the optionee in
connection with such exercise. The Board of Directors, as the Plan
Administrator of iChargeit's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, has the
discretionary authority to reprice the options through the cancellation
of the options and grant of replacement options with an exercise price
based on the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date.
(4) The options expire ten (10) years form the date of grant and vest
quarterly in equal installments during the first two years of Mr.
Cohen's employment beginning on March 11, 1999.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
AGREEMENTS
Wehave entered into employment agreements with the following named
executive officers on the terms set forth below:
On March 11, 1999, iChargeit entered into a two year employment
contract with Jesse Cohen. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Cohen is employed as
Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary of iChargeit and will receive
an annual base salary of $70,000 and Mr. Cohen received a one-time bonus of
$35,000 for work performed prior to the date of Mr. Cohen's employment
agreement. The base salary will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the employment agreement, iChargeit also agreed to (i) permit Mr.
Cohen to purchase 315,000 restricted common shares of iChargeit for $.001 per
share, (ii) grant options to purchase 900,000 shares of iChargeit common stock
pursuant to iChargeit's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, vesting quarterly during the
initial two year term of the agreement, and (iii) provide standard employee
benefits. iChargeit owes Mr. Cohen $8,750 in salary for work performed prior to
signing his employment contract. The grant of 315,000 shares of restricted stock
was rescinded in November 1999 with Mr. Cohen's written consent.
On June 1, 1999, iChargeit entered into a two year employment contract
with Randall Waldman. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Waldman is employed as
Chief Operational Officer and Vice President of iChargeit and will receive an
annual base salary of $50,000. In December 1999, the term of this contract was
reduced to one year and the base salary was eliminated and instead changed to a
commission of 1.2% on all revenue which occurs due to strategic alliances
generated by Mr. Waldman for iChargeit. Pursuant to the employment agreement,
iChargeit also agreed to (i) permit Mr. Waldman to purchase 250,000 restricted
common shares of iChargeit for $.001 per share, (ii) pay a $11,700 signing
bonus, (iii) grant options to purchase 337,500 shares pursuant to iChargeit's
1999 Stock Incentive Plan, vesting immediately, and (iv) provide standard
employee benefits. The grant of 250,000 shares of restricted stock was rescinded
in November 1999 with Mr. Waldman's written consent. The modifications to Mr.
Waldman's employment agreement were made pursuant to an oral agreement between
iChargeit and Mr. Waldman.
On May 1, 1999, iChargeit entered into an employment contract with
James Carroll. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Carroll is employed as Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer of iChargeit for a term of six
29
<PAGE>
months and will receive a base salary totaling $25,000. In November 1999, Mr.
Carroll's contract was extended on the same terms and conditions for another
six month term pursuant to an oral agreement between the parties, including a
second grant of options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock. In May
2000, Mr. Carroll's contract was once again extended on the same terms and
conditions for another six month term pursuant to an oral agreement between
the parties, including a third grant of options to purchase 100,000 shares of
common stock. The base salary will be reviewed annually by the Board of
Directors. Pursuant to the employment agreement, iChargeit also agreed to (i)
permit Mr. Carroll to purchase 250,000 restricted common shares of iChargeit
for $.001 per share, (ii) grant options to purchase 100,000 shares pursuant
to iChargeit's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, vesting at the end of the six month
terms of the written employment contract and the oral extension agreement,
and (iii) provide standard employee benefits. Pursuant to the agreement,
iChargeit also provides Mr. Carroll with an electronic storefront on its web
site in exchange for a percentage of sales generated through such storefront
in an amount to be determined pursuant to a sales agency agreement to be
entered into between iChargeit and Mr. Carroll. iChargeit owes Mr. Carroll
$2,500 salary for work performed prior to signing his employment contract.
The grant of 250,000 shares of restricted stock was rescinded and 250,000
options to purchase common stock at the fair market value on the date of the
grant of $1.00 per share were granted with Mr. Carroll's written consent.
The employment agreements listed above for Messrs. Cohen, Waldman and
Carroll terminate immediately upon the employee's death or total disability, and
we also may terminate the employment agreement without "cause" at any time upon
at least thirty days prior written notice to the employee. The employee is
entitled to terminate the employment for "good reason," as that term is defined
in the employment agreements, including a reduction in base salary without the
employee's prior written consent, the relocation of employee outside of
employee's place of employment and for certain other breaches. If during the
term of the employment agreement, the employee resigns for one of the "good
reasons," or if we terminate employee's employment for a reason other than
employee's death or disability, or without "cause," the employee is entitled to:
- The portion of his then current base salary which has accrued
through his date of termination;
- Any payments for unused vacation and reimbursement expenses,
which are due, accrued or payable at the date of employee's
termination;
- Severance payments in an amount equal to the employee's then
current base salary, payable for the remainder of the term;
and
- All of employee's options to purchase shares of iChargeit's
common stock and restricted stock shall accelerate and
automatically vest, and such options shall otherwise be
exercisable in accordance with their terms.
If we terminate the employee's employment upon death or disability or
for "cause," or if the employee voluntarily resigns for other than a "good
reason," then the employee shall be entitled to only the compensation set forth
in the first two bullet points above.
Saeid "Andrew" Akavan is not party to a written employment agreement
with iChargeit. However, we have reached an oral understanding with Mr. Akavan
pursuant to which Mr. Akavan shall be paid a base salary, bonus and options at a
level roughly equivalent to that of Mr. Cohen.
The grant of 250,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Waldman occurred
pursuant to the terms of Mr. Waldman's employment agreement. The grant of an
aggregate of 565,000 shares of restricted stock to Messrs. Cohen and Carroll was
part of a grant, including Messrs. Waldman and Cohen, of an aggregate of
1,345,000 shares of restricted stock to 11 recipients. All of the grants were to
purchase stock at $.001 per share. None of the recipients understood the tax
consequences of a grant of stock below fair market value, which would require
recipients to recognize ordinary income and pay tax on the difference between
the fair
30
<PAGE>
market value of the stock on the date of grant and the restricted stock
purchase price. When informed of these tax consequences, the recipients and
iChargeit mutually agreed to rescind the restricted stock grants. All of the
grants, except for an aggregate of 135,000 shares held by five recipients,
were rescinded. All of the grants, except for 315,000 shares rescinded by
Jesse Cohen and 50,000 shares rescinded by Elizabeth Cohen, were replaced
with grants of stock options to purchase an identical number of shares at the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The grants of
restricted stock originally were made in exchange for services in connection
with the iChargeit/Para-Link merger.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws limit the liability of and
provide indemnification for our directors and officers. Our Certificate of
Incorporation provides that our directors may not be held personally liable to
us or our stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary
duty, except for liability:
- for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to iChargeit or
its stockholders;
- for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law;
- under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
relating to prohibited dividends, distributions, repurchases
or redemptions of stock; and
- for any transaction from which the director derives an
improper benefit.
Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers,
certain other employees and agents, and the directors and officers of other
business enterprises serving at our request, for actions taken in good faith on
our behalf, while in their official capacity as a director or officer or in any
other capacity while serving as a director or officer. The Bylaws also provide
that we shall advance expenses incurred by officers, directors, employees and
agents in defending themselves for actions taken on our behalf under certain
circumstances. Finally, the Bylaws provide that directors, officers, employees,
and agents may bring suit to compel payment of claims not paid in full within
forty-five (45) days after we receive notice of such claims.
MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
iChargeit's Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "1999 Plan") subject to stockholder approval. The stockholders approved the
adoption of the 1999 Plan at a special meeting of stockholders held on November
12, 1999. The 1999 Plan is funded initially with 4,000,000 shares of our common
stock reserved for issuance.
The purpose of the 1999 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate
employees, directors, officers and consultants through the issuance of options
or rights to purchase common stock of iChargeit and to encourage ownership of
common stock by most employees, directors and certain consultants of iChargeit.
The 1999 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors, or a Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors if one is formed (the "Committee"). Subject
to the provisions of the 1999 Plan, the Committee determines the persons to whom
options or stock purchase rights will be granted, the number of shares to be
covered by each option or stock purchase right and the terms and conditions upon
which an option or stock purchase right may be granted. All employees, directors
and consultants of iChargeit and its affiliates (as defined in the 1999 Plan,
"Affiliates") are eligible to participate in the 1999 Plan, although iChargeit
has discretion in identifying those people who actually receive grants.
Options granted under the 1999 Plan may be either (i) options intended
to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or (ii) non-
31
<PAGE>
qualified stock options. Other than certain minimum requirements described
below, the Committee has the discretion to fix the terms of options granted
under the 1999 Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted under the 1999
Plan to employees of iChargeit and its Affiliates. Non-qualified stock
options may be granted, in iChargeit's discretion, to consultants, directors
and employees of iChargeit and its Affiliates.
Incentive stock options granted under the 1999 Plan may not be granted
with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of incentive stock
options granted to participants holding 10% or more of the voting stock of
iChargeit). Stock options granted under the 1999 Plan expire not more than ten
years from the date of grant, or not more than five years from the date of grant
in the case of incentive stock options granted to a person holding more than 10%
of the voting stock of iChargeit. The aggregate fair market value (determined at
the time of grant) of shares issuable pursuant to incentive stock options which
become exercisable in any calendar year under any incentive stock option plan of
iChargeit by an employee may not exceed $100,000. An option granted under the
1999 Plan is not transferable by an optionholder except by (i) will or by the
laws of descent and distribution or (ii) as determined by the Committee and set
forth in the Option Agreement. An option is exercisable only by the optionholder
or one who receives the option pursuant to a permitted transfer.
An incentive stock option granted under the 1999 Plan may be exercised
after the termination of the optionholder's employment with iChargeit (other
than by reason of death, disability or termination for cause as defined in the
1999 Plan) to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, for up to
one month following such termination, provided that such incentive stock option
has not expired on the date of such exercise. In granting any non-qualified
stock option, the Committee may specify that such non-qualified stock option
shall be subject to such termination or cancellation provisions as the Committee
may specify. In the event of death or permanent and total disability while an
optionholder is employed by iChargeit or within one month of termination of
employment, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be
exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination of employment
(as calculated under the 1999 Plan), by the optionholder or the optionholder's
survivors at any time prior to the earlier of the option's specified expiration
date or one year from the date of the optionholder's termination of employment
(all as more specifically provided in the 1999 Plan).
Stock purchase rights may be granted under the 1999 Plan. Stock
purchase rights entitle the participant to purchase shares of common stock at a
specified price, which may be nominal but not less than the par value of the
common stock, within ten days of the date of grant. The shares acquired upon
purchase are restricted from transfers and are subject to a repurchase right
held by iChargeit. The repurchase right lapses with respect to specified numbers
or percentages of the shares over a period of time specified in the restricted
stock purchase agreement that applies to the stock purchase right. The
repurchase right entitles iChargeit to repurchase the shares at the same price
paid for the shares by the participant in the event the individual's employment
or services with iChargeit terminates before the lapsing of the repurchase right
occurs, subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement, which
may provide for accelerated lapsing of the repurchase right in the case of
terminations due to death, disability or for terminations by iChargeit other
than for cause. Stock purchase rights and shares subject to the repurchase right
are not transferable by the participant except (i) by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution or (ii) as determined by the Committee and set forth in
the restricted stock purchase agreement. Stock purchase rights are exercisable
only by the holder or one who receives the stock purchase rights pursuant to a
permitted transfer.
If the shares of common stock are subdivided or combined into a greater
or smaller number of shares or if iChargeit issues any shares of common stock as
a stock dividend on its outstanding common stock, the number of shares of common
stock deliverable upon the exercise of an option or stock purchase right granted
under the 1999 Plan shall be appropriately increased or decreased
proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price
per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. If
provided in a specific stock option agreement or restricted stock purchase
agreement, in the event of
32
<PAGE>
(i) the acquisition (with certain exceptions) of more than 50% of
the outstanding common stock or voting power by an individual,
entity or group acting together,
(ii) a merger or consolidation in which iChargeit is not the
surviving entity (except for a transaction whose principal
purpose is to change iChargeit's state of incorporation),
(iii) a reverse merger in which iChargeit is the surviving entity
but in which securities possessing more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total voting power of iChargeit's outstanding
securities are transferred to or acquired by a person or
persons different from the persons holding those securities
immediately prior to such merger,
(iv) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of iChargeit, or
(v) a complete liquidation or dissolution of iChargeit, each
option or stock purchase right outstanding as of the date of
such transaction may be:
(x) assumed or new rights substituted therefore by the
successor corporation,
(y) terminated upon written notice to the participants
stating that all options (with all options then
outstanding being deemed to be exercisable for
purposes of this section) or stock purchase rights
must be exercised within a specified number of days
(not less than 15), at the end of which period any
options or stock purchase rights not exercised will
terminate, or
(z) terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to
the excess of the value of the cash or property the
holder of the option or the stock purchase right
would have received pursuant to the change in control
transaction over the exercise or purchase price (with
all options then outstanding being deemed to be
exercisable for purposes of this section),
provided that the administrator of the 1999 Plan shall select which, if any,
treatment to provide and under certain circumstances can determine to provide
shares of common stock or other consideration with value equal to the cash or
other consideration that otherwise would be received by a participant.
If provided in the specific option agreement or restricted stock
agreement, each option or the lapsing of the repurchase right on shares issued
with respect to stock purchase rights that are assumed or replaced in connection
with such a transaction shall automatically accelerate and such options shall
become fully exercisable and vested or the repurchase right shall fully lapse on
the earliest of (a) the original vesting or lapsing date, or (b) the date the
transaction is determined to have occurred, or such other events as may be
provided in the agreement. In the event of other reorganizations,
recapitalizations, mergers or consolidations (not meeting the criteria described
above), pursuant to which securities of iChargeit or of another corporation are
issued with respect to the outstanding shares of common stock, a participant
upon exercising an option or stock purchase right will be entitled to receive
for the purchase price paid upon such exercise the securities he or she would
have received if he or she had exercised such option or stock purchase right
prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation.
The stockholders of iChargeit may amend the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan
may also be amended by the Board of Directors or the Committee, provided that
any amendment approved by the Board of Directors or the Committee which is of a
scope that the Committee determines requires stockholder approval, shall be
subject to obtaining such stockholder approval. The Committee may amend
outstanding option agreements or restricted stock purchase agreements as long as
the amendment is not materially adverse to the participant. Amendments that are
materially adverse to the participant can be effected only with the consent of
the participant.
33
<PAGE>
The Committee has not made any awards under the 1999 Plan. The maximum
number of options or stock purchase rights that can be granted to an individual
in any fiscal year of iChargeit is options or stock purchase rights, or a
combination thereof, to purchase 500,000 shares, as such number may be adjusted
in accordance with the 1999 Plan.
ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
The following table sets forth certain information known to iChargeit
regarding the ownership of iChargeit's common stock as of June 30, 2000 by (i)
each stockholder known to iChargeit to be a beneficial owner of more than five
percent (5%) of iChargeit's common stock, (ii) each director, (iii) the
executive officers (as such term is defined under the caption "Executive
Compensation") and (iv) all current directors and officers of iChargeit as a
group.
Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and unless otherwise indicated,
represents shares for which the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment
power. The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned includes any
shares issuable pursuant to stock options that may be exercised within 60 days
after June 30, 2000. Shares issuable pursuant to such options are deemed
outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options but
are not deemed to be outstanding for computing the percentage of any other
person.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
In February 1999, iChargeit and Susannah Altman of Enchanted Bookery
entered into an agreement pursuant to which Enchanted Bookery became the
exclusive book related gift basket supplier for baskets sold on iChargeit's
web site. iChargeit pays Enchanted Bookery for the preparation and delivery
of each basket ordered from the web site. Susannah Altman is the sister of
iChargeit Chief Executive Officer Jesse Cohen. iChargeit has not sold any
Enchanted Bookery baskets or received any revenue, and has not paid any
compensation to Susannah Altman or Enchanted Bookery other than a grant of
50,000 shares of restricted stock that were subsequently rescinded and not
replaced. The agreement expires in April 2000. iChargeit believes that the
terms of the agreement were no less favorable than it could have received
from an unaffiliated third party.
In February 1999, iChargeit and EC Net Manufacturing L.L.C., or EC
Net entered into an agreement pursuant to which EC Net agreed to provide
warehousing and staffing through its associates for the purpose of storing
and shipping products for iChargeit customers. Pursuant to the agreement, EC
Net received 20,000 shares of iChargeit common stock. Randall Waldman is
President of EC Net, and is the Chief Operating Officer and a Director of
iChargeit. iChargeit has not used the services of EC Net to date and, as a
result of the acquisition of Bay Micro and Bay Micro's fulfillment
capabilities, does not anticipate using the services of EC Net prior to the
expiration of the agreement in April 2000. iChargeit believes that the terms
of the agreement were no less favorable than it could have received from an
unaffiliated third party.
In March 1999, iChargeit issued 25,000 shares of its common stock to
Randall Waldman in exchange for consulting services regarding initial
incorporation, financing matters and mergers. Mr. Waldman did not have any
relationship with iChargeit at the time other than on a consulting basis.
Mr. Waldman subsequently became the Chief Operating Officer and a Director of
iChargeit; however Mr. Waldman is no longer employed with iChargeit.
In March 1999, Patricia Carroll received 15,000 shares of restricted
common stock in consideration for providing legal consultation on an as needed
basis to iChargeit. Patricia Carroll is the wife of iChargeit's Chief Financial
Officer, James Carroll.
In March 1999, iChargeit entered into a contract with Future Holdings,
Corp. for services commencing on January 6, 1999 in connection with the
coordination and preparation of Para-Link's merger with iChargeit. Future
Holdings, Corp. received grants to purchase 210,000 shares of restricted common
stock at $.001 per share as consideration for its services. In November 1999,
160,000 shares of Future Holding's restricted stock were cancelled and 160,000
options with an exercise price at the fair market value on the date of the grant
of $1.00 per share were issued. Future Holdings, Corp. is the holder of
approximately 10.33% of iChargeit's shares of outstanding common stock. See
"Item 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS IN MANAGEMENT." Mike
Nichols is the President of Future Holdings, Corp and at the time of the
agreement in March 1999, was serving as a consultant to iChargeit. Janice
Nichols, the wife of Mike Nichols, received an additional 25,000 shares of
iChargeit common stock pursuant to a consulting agreement entered into in March
1999, for clerical services provided pursuant to the iChargeit/Para-Link merger.
In August 1999, Lewis Cohen & Company received 140,000 stock options
with an exercise price at the fair market value on November 12, 1999, the
effective date of the grant of $1.00 for assisting in the design of the
iChargeit logo and assisting in the design and maintenance of other iChargeit
web sites. Additionally, iChargeit pays Lewis Cohen & Company $1400 per month
for site maintenance. Lewis Cohen is the father of iChargeit's Chief Executive
Officer Jesse Cohen.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
iChargeit, Inc.
Huntington Beach, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of iChargeit, Inc.
and subsidiary as of June 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended
June 30, 2000 and for the period from January 6, 1999 (inception) through June
30, 1999. 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 consolidated financial position of iChargeit, Inc. and
subsidiary as of June 30, 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their consolidated cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2000 and for the
period from January 6, 1999 (inception) through June 30, 1999 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 to the
financial statements, the Company has experienced operating losses, sustained
cash outflows, has a negative working capital position and anticipates that such
conditions will continue in fiscal year 2001. This raises 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.

NOTE A - THE COMPANY
Para-Link, Inc. ("Para-Link" or the "Company"), an inactive company was
incorporated in the State of Texas on January 22, 1997.
On March 10, 1999, Para-Link acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
iChargeit Inc. ("iChargeit"). iChargeit, which was incorporated on January 6,
1999 in the State of Nevada to launch an internet-based shopping mall to market
goods and services to Internet users, as well as, allowing customers to play
online video and racing games at a virtual arcade. The launching of iChargeit's
website was March 1, 1999. The acquisition was consummated through an exchange
of shares that resulted in the stockholders of the iChargeit receiving control
of Para-Link. The transaction has been treated as a recapitalization. In
connection therewith, the Company's historic capital accounts were retroactively
adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by Para-Link in the
transaction, while iChargeit's historical accumulated deficit was carried
forward. The statement of operations reflects the activities of iChargeit from
the commencement of its operations on January 6, 1999. On March 17, 1999, the
Company changed its name to iChargeit. On November 5, 1999 the Company was
reincorporated in Delaware.
The Company was in the development stage prior to the period ended September 30,
1999. As a result of the acquisition of in the quarter ended December 31, 1999
of Bay Micro Computers, Inc. a California corporation ("Bay Micro"), iChargeit
is no longer in the development stage (see Note B). Bay Micro is a wholesaler
and assembler of computers and related hardware components.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying
financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, sustained cash
outflows, has a negative working capital position and management expects that
such losses and negative operating cash flows will continue in fiscal year 2001.
The above factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company's continued existence is dependent on
its ability to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing to fund its
operations. The Company plans to raise additional financing and to increase
sales volume. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain additional
financing or achieve profitable operations or cash inflows. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary as a result of this uncertainty.
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Bay Micro. All material intercompany transactions and
account balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
NOTE B - ACQUISITION
Effective on October 5, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of
Bay Micro in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate fair
value of $2,400,000. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase in
accordance with accounting standards. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the operations of Bay Micro from October 5, 1999.
F-7
<PAGE>
NOTE B - ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)
The cost of the assets and liabilities assumed were allocated as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Cash $ 63,000
Accounts receivable 246,000
Inventory 242,000
Internet domain name and web-site 169,000
Other assets 54,000
Equipment 73,000
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (471,000)
Loans payable (361,000)
Goodwill 2,415,000
-------------
Cost of acquisition (including expenses of $30,000) $ 2,430,000
=============
</TABLE>
The related goodwill is being amortized over its estimated useful life of ten
years. At June 30, 2000, the accumulated amortization was approximately
$178,000.
The Company has obtained an independent appraisal from a Valuation Specialist
regarding the value of the shares issued in connection with the acquisition.
Such appraisal results in a change in the amount tentatively ascribed by
management for the transaction. This change in the estimated fair value of
the shares issued reduced goodwill from $5,465,000 previously presented to
$2,415,000.
If the acquisition had occurred on July 1, 1999, revenue, loss and loss per
share (basic and diluted) would be $8,128,000, $(4,435,000) and $(.39),
respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2000 (unaudited).
NOTE C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1] 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 revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
[2] INVENTORIES:
Inventory consists primarily of goods the Company has purchased for
resale or assembly. Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or
market.
[3] VALUATION OF SECURITIES:
Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are
recorded at their market value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded
as other comprehensive income.
[4] REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Revenue is recognized when merchandise is shipped to a customer.
Provision is made for an estimate of product returns. Management believes
that a reasonable estimate for returns can be made considering the 30 day
return period, historical experience and volume of sales transactions.
Currently, such estimate approximates 2% of prior 30 day sales. Such
estimate of sales returns approximates actual. In addition, the Company
earns fees for services provided in building virtual stores on its
web-site for vendors to sell products. Such revenue is recognized when
the services are completed or services are performed. The Company may
earn such fees in the form of securities. These securities are valued at
market on the date they are earned.
F-8
<PAGE>
NOTE C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
[4] REVENUE RECOGNITION: (CONTINUED)
Revenue includes shipping and handling fees charged to customers'
purchases ($173,000 for the year ended June 30, 2000). Shipping and
handling costs are included in cost of sales.
[5] FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The carrying amounts for the Company's cash, accounts receivable, due
from factor, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair
value. The fair value of the non-interest bearing loans and advances and
loans payable - officer and stockholders are not reasonably determinable
because of the nature of those obligations.
[6] PER SHARE DATA:
Basic and diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number
of outstanding shares of common stock and excludes the effect of stock
options and warrants (see Notes H[4] and J). In computing the weighted
average number of shares outstanding, the 4,000,000 shares of Para-Link
issued in connection with the transaction were treated as if they were
outstanding for the entire period.
[7] STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company has elected to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" in accounting for its employee stock option incentive plan. As
such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant if the
exercise price of the option was below the current market price of the
underlying stock.
[8] CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist of cash, and securities. The Company
primarily holds its cash in one bank insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
[9] INCOME TAXES:
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method.
Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to
net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax
benefits, which are not expected to be realized.
[10] EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the lives of
the asset, generally five to seven years.
[11] INTERNET DOMAIN NAME AND WEB-SITE:
Internet domain name and web-site are being amortized over their useful
lives of approximately three years. At June 30, 2000, accumulated
amortization was approximately $59,000.
F-9
<PAGE>
NOTE D - RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represents an operating reserve held by a bank in an escrow
account in order to process credit card transactions for the Company.

Equipment consists of the following:

</TABLE>
NOTE F - DUE FROM FACTOR
The Company sells and assigns its receivables from certain customers to one
factor, with recourse. Pursuant to the agreement, upon purchase of an accepted
account (the "account") from the Company, the factor makes an advance in the
amount of 80% of the face amount of the account. The factor charges a commission
of 2.5% of the face amount of the account and a fee of .8% of the account for
each ten days not collected after 30 days from date of advance. At June 30, 2000
the difference between the advance and the account is approximately $8,000. At
June 30, 2000 invoices approximating $44,000 were sold as accounts.
NOTE G - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments. The Company operates an Internet based
shopping web-site and Bay Micro is a wholesaler and assembler of computers and
related hardware components. Information with respect to reportable segments at

[2] COMMON STOCK:
During the period ended June 30, 1999 the Company issued 1,471,000 shares
of common stock to certain stockholders and consultants for services to
the Company, which were valued at approximately $4,880,000.
In addition, the Company also issued 815,000 shares of common stock to
certain officers of the corporation in connection with their employment
agreements (see Note L[2]). These shares were valued at approximately
$6,274,000.
On May 15, 1999, the Company commenced a private offering of its common
stock at $2.00 per share. The Company issued a total of 301,750 shares of
common stock, which yielded net proceeds of approximately $603,000.
In November, 1999, certain officers and consultants of the Company
exchanged 1,785,000 shares of the Company's common stock for 1,470,000
options to acquire the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
$1.00.
In November and December 1999 the Company raised an aggregate of
$750,000, of which it received $618,000 after fees and expenses. The
Company sold 230,771 units, each unit consisting of five shares of common
stock and one warrant to purchase one additional share of common stock at
an exercise price of $2.25 per share expiring September 1, 2002.
In November 1999, 6,000 shares of common stock were granted to a

Company recorded the 157,686 shares of common stock as treasury stock at
its fair market value on the day it was placed in escrow. From July
through October of 1999, the Company received approximately $153,000 from
the sale of the shares held in escrow which was treated as a capital
transaction.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of June 30, 2000, 369,296 warrants are outstanding with a weighted
average exercise price of $2.45 and a weighted average contractual life
of 17.62 months.
NOTE I - INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2000, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $1,523,000which expires through 2020.
At June 30, 2000, the Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately
$593,000. The Company has not recorded a benefit from its net operating loss
carryforward, because realization of the benefit is uncertain and, therefore, a
valuation allowance of $593,000 has been provided for the deferred tax asset.
The difference between the statutory tax rate of 34% and the Company's effective
tax rate of 0% is due to the increase in the valuation allowance of $502,000 and
$91,000 for the year ended June 30, 2000 and the period ended June 30, 1999,
respectively. In addition, during the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the
Company had approximately $2,929,000 and $6,347,000 respectively, in expenses
for equity compensation which was not deductible for tax purposes.
The Company is subject to an annual limitation on the utilization of its net
operating loss carryforwards under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due
to ownership changes.
NOTE J - STOCK OPTION PLAN
On August 17, 1999, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") for
granting options to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock, pursuant to
which employees, consultants, officers and directors are eligible to receive
incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. Options granted under the Plan are
exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise
price which is not less than the fair value on date of grant, except that the
exercise price of options granted to a stockholder owning more than 10 percent
of the outstanding capital stock may not be less than 110 percent of the fair
value of the common stock at the date of grant. Options issued under the Plan
vest as determined by the plan administrator.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of June 30, 2000, options for 232,500 shares were available for future grant
under the Plan.
In April 2000, the Company granted options to purchase 60,000 shares of common
stock at $1.00 per share to certain consultants. The Company valued 30,000 of
the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the vested options
were valued at $24,000, and charged to operations. The fair value of these
options were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of
6.15% - 6.42%, expected life of 10 years and expected volatility of 2.06%. The
remaining 30,000 options will be charged to operations at their fair value when
vested.
The Company applies APB 25 in accounting for the employee stock options awards,
which requires the recognition of compensation expense for the difference
between the fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of
the option at the grant date.
Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share is required by
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation No. 123" ("SFAS No. 123"), and has been determined as
if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value
method of that statement. The weighted average fair value of options granted
during the year ended June 30, 2000 is estimated to be $.96. The fair value of
these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the year ended
June 30, 2000: risk free interest rates of 5.75% - 6.13%; dividend yield of 0%;
volatility of 2.06% and expected life for options granted of 5 - 10 years.
F-13
<PAGE>
NOTE J - STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
Had management elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of
the options at the date of grant as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss and
loss per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended June 30, 2000 would have
been approximately $(5,628,000) and $(.54) per share, respectively.
NOTE K - RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On March 11, 1999 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an entity
controlled by a relative of an officer/stockholder to perform consulting
services. This agreement provides for the issuance of 140,000 shares (fair value

On August 31, 2000, an action was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court
against the Company and certain employees of its wholly-owned subsidiary,
alleging unfair competition and related causes of action. The plaintiff claims
that the Company and certain employees wrongfully acquired and used allegedly
confidential or trade secret business information of the plaintiff. The claim
does not specify the amount of its claim or damages, however, it asserts lost

punitive damage. The matter is in the early stages and management believes that
the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the matter.
