1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION - parts.com, Inc. ("the Company") is a provider
of Internet-based business and online buying solutions. The Company
(formerly Miracom Corporation) was incorporated in Nevada on September
13, 1995, under the name I.E.L.S., Inc., which had no revenue and
insignificant expenses, assets and liabilities and whose common stock
was traded on the OTC, Bulletin Board. Effective January 5, 2000, the
Company changed its name from Miracom Corporation to parts.com, Inc.
ACQUISITIONS - Effective September 30, 1998, the Company
acquired all of the assets and business operations and assumed all of
the outstanding liabilities of MTV Pinnacle Advertising Group, Inc.
("MTV") and United Equity Partners, Inc. ("UEP") in exchange for the
issuance of an aggregate of 732,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. MTV was engaged in the business of providing full service
advertising to commercial customers and UEP was engaged in the
business of providing Internet hardware and software solutions. The
purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based upon their
estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was
approximately $811,000 and is being amortized on a straight line basis
over 5 years, beginning October 1, 1998. The purchase price of
$329,400 was determined by valuing the 732,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $.45 per share, which represents a 10% discount from
market on the date of the acquisition. Market price for the Company's
Common Stock was determined based upon private sales to unrelated
parties, since no active trading market existed at that time.
On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired all of the assets and
business operations and assumed all of the outstanding liabilities of
LiveCode, Inc. ("LiveCode") a closely held corporation in exchange for
600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and a promissory note in
the original principal amount of $20,000. LiveCode was engaged in the
business of software development and from its inception through May
28, 1999, its major source of operating revenues was from services
performed under one contract for UEP. The purchase price of $1,521,800
was determined by valuing the 600,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at $2.50 per share, which represents a 10% discount from market,
based upon the average of the high and low trading prices on the OTC
Bulletin Board on May 28, 1999, plus the promissory note of $20,000.
Approximately $47,000 was distributed to the LiveCode
stockholders as of the effective date of the acquisition. Subsequent
to the acquisition, the operations of LiveCode were merged into the
Company. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired was $1,521,800 and is being amortized on a
straight line basis over 5 years beginning June 1, 1999.
On October 21, 1999, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding Common Stock of FlexRadio, Inc. ("Flex") for 6,200,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The majority stockholders of
Flex were also stockholders, directors and officers of the Company.
Under the terms of the purchase, the Company obtained the rights to
Flex's provisional patent application (its sole asset) for a radio
frequency detection and reporting service for providing real time
research. From its inception through October 21, 1999, Flex had no
significant operations. Flex will be able to improve current methods
of monitoring consumers radio listening habits which to this date,
utilizes paper, telephone and limited electronic surveys to quantify
and tabulate data for the advertising industry. Flex intends to
provide improved customer service by assisting clients in making
advertising/media decisions which best fit their needs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (unaudited) Continued
The purchase price of Flex was based upon an independent
valuation of the estimated fair value of Flex as of the date of
acquisition. The 6,200,000 shares were valued at $1.035 per share,
which represents a 10% discount from the market price per share based
upon the average high and low trading prices on October 21, 1999 as
reported on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. The total purchase price
of $6,417,000 was allocated to Flex's provisional patent application
which represented Flex's sole asset at the date of acquisition.
The above acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations do not include any
revenues, costs or expenses related to these acquisitions prior to
their respective closing dates.
INTERIM RESULTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The unaudited
financial statements as of March 31, 2000 and for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared by us and are
unaudited. In our opinion, the unaudited financial statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and
reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 2000 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The financial data
and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial
statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The balance sheet at December 31,
1999 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that
date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules
and regulations. It is suggested that these unaudited financial
statements be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 as included in
our report on Form 10-KSB as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2000.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated
financial statements at March 31, 2000, include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Flex. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated for the
periods presented.
CONTINUED OPERATIONS - The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has
continued to suffer recurring losses from operations that to date,
total $11,151,228. At March 31, 2000, the Company had a working capital
deficit of $1,420,376. These factors among others may indicate the
Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the outcome of this
uncertainty.

PARTS.COM, INC.
(FORMALLY MIRACOM CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, (unaudited) Continued
LIQUIDITY AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS - As of March 31, 2000, the
Company had cash of $101,068 and a working capital deficit of
$1,420,376.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependant
upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations on a timely basis. The Company's primary source of
liquidity has been from the cash generated by its operations and
through the private placement of equity and debt securities. The
Company is presently developing its infrastructure and ramping up
operations of its two business divisions in order to eventually achieve
profitable operations. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in achieving profitability or acquiring
additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms
and conditions favorable to the Company. Based upon its current
business plan, the Company believes it will generate sufficient cash
flow through operations and external sources of capital to continue to
meet its obligations in a timely manner.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION - Revenues are generally
recognized when the service has been performed and related costs and
expenses are recognized when incurred. Contracts for the development of
software that extend over more than one reporting period are accounted
for using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue
recognized at the financial statement date under these contracts is
that portion of the total contract price that costs expanded to date
bears to the total anticipated final cost, based on current estimates
of cost to complete. Revisions in total costs and earnings estimates
during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting
period in which the circumstances necessitating the revisions become
known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known the entire amount
of the estimated loss is recognized in the financial statements. Costs
attributable to contract disputes are carried in the accompanying
balance sheet only when realization is probable. Amounts received on
contracts in progress in excess of the revenue earned, based upon the
percent of completion method, are recorded as deferred revenue and the
related costs and expenses incurred are recorded as deferred costs.
Parts.com transaction fee revenues on wholesale and consumer
sales are recognized at the time the transaction is completed. Because
individual sellers, rather than the Company deliver the actual product
to complete the sale, the Company will have no cost of goods sold,no
procurement, carrying or shipping costs and no inventory. A substantial
majority of end user accounts will be settled by directly charging
credit card numbers provided by sellers. Provisions for estimated
uncollectible accounts and authorized credits are recorded as
percentages of revenues at the time of revenue recognition.
The Company charges annual territory fees to customers based
upon each level of distribution and vehicle line that the customer
purchases. Annual fees will be amortized into income over a period of
12 months commencing after March 31, 2000, and after the customer
begins fulfilling parts orders for the web site. Unamortized fees are
recorded as deferred revenue. Sales commissions associated with annual
territory fees will be recorded as prepaid expenses and will be charged
against income as

the related revenue is recognized. The Company's e-commerce web site
became operational on January 23, 2000. During the three months ended
March 31, 2000, the Company recognized minimal amounts of revenue from
e-commerce transactions and recorded no revenue from territory fees.
Reallyknow.com revenues and all costs and expenses related to
sales of Kiosks will be recognized at the time the products are
delivered. In connection with the implementation of its current
business plan for ReallyKnow.com which concentrates the Company's
advertising activities in the e-commerce sector, the Company is no
longer actively involved in the production of radio and television
advertising. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the period
ended March 31, 1999, the Company generated gross revenues of
approximately $3,000 and $250,000, respectively, from the production of
radio and television media.
NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK - The basic and diluted net
loss per common share in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations are based upon the net loss divided by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net
loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share
since the inclusion of all potentially dilutive common shares that
would be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options would
be anti-dilutive.
2. MERCHANT ACCOUNT:
The Company maintains a merchant account for the electronic
processing of its transactions with a credit card processor. Pursuant
to the terms of the account, the Company is required to maintain a
compensating balance of $100,000 which may be used by the credit card
processor, if needed.
3. PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS:
On February 11, 2000, the Company, in connection with M&M/Mars
Incorporated entered into an agreement to be an associate sponsor of a
NASCAR Winston Cup race car for the entire NASCAR season from February
17, 2000 through November 19, 2000. The Company made an initial payment
of $200,000 and is committed to make an additional payment of $200,000
in May 2000. The Company also issued 34,000 shares of Common Stock,
valued at $550,800, to Mars Incorporated. These costs are being
amortized over the 2000 NASCAR season. At March 31, 2000, approximately
$719,000 related to this agreement is included in prepaid expenses and
other current assets.
4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS
No. 123. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for
the issuance of stock options to employees as all options had an
exercise price at or above the market price on the date of issuance.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, employees of the Company
were issued options to purchase a total of 454,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, at exercise prices ranging from $11.00 to
$20.00 per share expiring March 2005 (unrecognized imputed charge of
$4,459,027 or $0.19 per share.)
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company
issued a total of 80,000 shares of Common Stock to an officer and a key
employee in payment of bonuses, at a per share price of $9.90 for an
aggregate of $792,000.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
Subsequent to March 31, 2000, the Company sold 571,200 shares
of its common stock at $2 to $4 per share to a group of accredited
investors. Proceeds to the Company from the sale of these shares was
$1.13 million, net of $50,000 in offering related expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPANY'S
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO INCLUDED IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT, AS
WELL AS THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AS FILED WITH
THE SEC ON MARCH 16, 2000.
Overview
As noted in the Company's Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999, the
Company has experienced significant operating losses and an accumulated deficit
which raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company incurred additional net losses of $4,289,212 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and had an accumulated deficit of $11,151,228 at March 31,
2000. The Company is continuing its efforts to increase its sales volume and
attain a profitable level of operations. However, there is no assurance that the
Company's efforts will be successful. There are many events and factors in
connection with the development of, manufacture and sale of the Company's
products over which the Company has little or no control, including without
limitation, marketing difficulties, lack of market acceptance of our products,
superior competitive products based on future technological innovation and
continued growth of e-commerce businesses. There can be no assurance that future
operations will be profitable or will satisfy future cash flow requirements.
Results of Operations-Three Months Ending March 31, 2000
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, total revenues amounted to $45,244
versus last year's revenue of $451,782. The company is in a state of transition
with its expansion focused on its parts.com e-commerce business-to-business
exchange and the further development of its online real-time data gathering
business, ReallyKnow.com. The Company has collected approximately $1.3 million
in annual territory fees from dealerships participating in its e-commerce
initiative. These amounts have been recorded as deferred revenue at March 31,
2000. The launch of the Company's web site occurred in late-January, 2000, and
as a result, the Company processed a minimal amount of transactions for the
quarter. As such, the Company will now recognize these annual territory fees as
income on a quarterly basis beginning April 1, 2000. In connection with the
implementation of its current business plan for ReallyKnow.com which
concentrates the Company's advertising activities in the e-commerce sector, the
Company is no longer actively involved in the production of radio and television
advertising. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and the three months
ended March 31, 1999, the Company generated gross revenues of approximately
$3,000 and $250,000, respectively, from the production of radio and television
media. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company
recognized $198,000 in software development revenue for services related to a
contract that was deferred at December 31, 1998.
The Company generated gross profit of $116,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 compared to a gross loss of $235,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000. The primary reason for the change from a positive profit margin to a
negative margin is due to the Company focusing its efforts and resources on
selling auto parts over its web site in 2000. Significant expenditures incurred
during the three months ended March 31, 2000 include website hosting costs and
related telephone, internet and T-1 expenses, as well as technical support
salaries. The Company generated minimal transactions from its website in the
first quarter of 2000 and recognized no related territory fees. Territory fees
collected through March 31, 2000 have been recorded as deferred revenue and
will be amortized as income over the twelve-month period commencing April 1,
2000. The Company anticipates a steady increase in website transactions as its
product becomes known and gains market acceptance; however there can be no
assurance that such market acceptance shall be attained.
Operating and other expenses increased $3,202,496 or 376% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period last year as a result of
several factors. In the current quarter, the Company spent $190,000 in marketing
and advertising costs in connection with the launch of the web site parts.com,
its e-commerce business-to-business exchange, at the National Automobile Dealers
Association convention in Orlando, Florida. Additionally, the Company incurred
$240,000 in expenses related to its marketing efforts through NASCAR and its
associate sponsorship with M&M's/Mars Incorporated. The Company also increased
its workforce from 18 full-time employees and 0 outside consultants at March 31,
1999 to 47 full-time employees and 3 full-time programmer/developer outside
consultants at March 31, 2000. Finally, in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the
Company spent more than $125,000 in professional fees (accounting and legal)
directly attributable to becoming a "reporting" entity with the SEC as a result
of new guidelines established by the NASD. Depreciation and amortization for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 rose $462,715 or 475% to $559,934 as a result
of amortization of goodwill associated with the Company's Livecode acquisition
(May 1999) and the acquisition of the FlexRadio patent (October 1999), not
present in the same period in the prior year. Stock based compensation totaled
$1,836,661 for the three months ended March

31, 2000 as compared to $253,000 for the same period last year reflecting a
conservation of cash resources by management.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's operating cash
requirement was $939,246 attributable to a net loss of $4,289,212 mitigated by
non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization ($559,934) and stock based
compensation ($1,836,661). The net remaining shortfall was primarily funded by
$677,015 in territory fees received during the quarter. Partially offsetting
this funding were capital expenditures of $119,027 and the payment on
capitalized leases of $10,113.
Subsequent to March 31, 2000, the Company raised $1.13 million from the sale of
its common stock to a group of accredited investors. See Note 8 in the March 31,
2000 financial statements.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company's operating cash
requirement was $448,757 attributable to a net loss of $735,081 mitigated by
non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization ($97,219) and stock based
compensation ($253,000). The net remaining shortfall was primarily funded by the
net sale of common stock for $568,524. Partially offsetting this funding were
capital expenditures of $40,215 and the payment of capitalized leases and other
debt of $30,924. Stock based compensation valued at $253,000 was used to
conserve cash.
The ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations depends in part on its
ability to reach a profitable level of operations and secure both short and
long-term financing for the development and expansion of its two main business
divisions, parts.com and ReallyKnow.com. The Company is currently in
negotiations with financial institutions and other private lenders to provide
additional funding through equity or debt financing to fund its current business
plan. Without short or long-term financing, in order to meet its current and
future capital needs, the Company will depend on cash receipts from annual
territory fees, fee revenue generated from its e-commerce web site and proceeds
from the sale of additional shares of common stock. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining any such additional
financing through equity or debt financing.
