NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a leading Internet
photo services company, dedicated to providing its customers with innovative
ways to enjoy and use their photos. The PhotoWorks service provides both
traditional and digital camera users with the easiest way to store and organize
photos online, share them with friends and family and order reprints, photo
albums and photo related products. The Company offers an array of complementary
services and products primarily under the brand names PhotoWorks(R) and Seattle
FilmWorks(R). The Company, formerly Seattle FilmWorks, Inc., changed its
corporate name to PhotoWorks, Inc. on February 1, 2000.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation of
interim results have been included. The Company follows a policy of recording
its interim period and year-end results on a 5 week, 4 week and 4 week basis for
comparability of results and to be consistent with its internal weekly
reporting. Fiscal year 2000 reporting will include 53 weeks with the fourth
quarter including one extra week as compared to fiscal 1999. Due to the
seasonality of the Company's business and other factors, operating results for
the third quarter ended June 24, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000. For
further information, refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under Item 2 below and under Item
7 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 25, 1999 and the Company's consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto also included in the Company's Annual Report.
NOTE B -- CUSTOMER ACQUISITION EXPENDITURES
Historically, the Company's principal technique for acquiring new customers
was its Introductory Offer of two rolls of 35mm film for $2.00 or less. Prior to
the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the direct costs of customer acquisition were
deferred as "capitalized customer acquisition expenditures." During the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998, the overall performance of the customer acquisition
programs showed a decline and management concluded the lower response rates to
customer acquisition programs required an adjustment to the amount of
capitalized costs associated with those programs. Effective in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999, the Company began expensing customer acquisition costs as
incurred. The September 26, 1998 deferred capitalized customer acquisition
balance of $16,800,000 was fully amortized during fiscal 1999.
NOTE C -- INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out
method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of film and photofinishing
supplies.
NOTE D -- RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation.
NOTE E -- SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company currently operates in one principal business segment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE F -- INCOME TAXES
In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, it was determined that due to the
Company's continued focus on promotional activities related to its digital
imaging and online services and the effects of such costs on its ongoing
profitability, it was appropriate to provide a valuation allowance equal to the
amount of deferred tax assets not recoverable through operating loss carrybacks.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company finalized and filed its tax
return for fiscal 1999. The amount of operating loss carrybacks estimated during
the second quarter was updated to reflect book to return differences primarily
related to alternative minimum tax calculations. As a result, quarterly income
tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $183,000 or .8% of pre-tax
operating loss, as opposed to a benefit of approximately $7,400,000 (assuming a
normal statutory rate of 34%). For the nine months ended June 24, 2000, income
tax expense was $428,000 or 1.6% of pre-tax operating loss, as opposed to a
benefit of approximately $9,100,000 (assuming a normal statutory rate of 34%).
Utilization of the remaining deferred tax assets of approximately $10,040,000 is
dependent on future profits that are not assured.
NOTE G -- EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share". Net loss per share and per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible preferred
shares, outstanding warrants and stock options to purchase shares of common
stock were excluded from the computation of earnings per share because their
effect was antidilutive. See Note I for discussion of Convertible Preferred
Stock and Warrants.
The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share:

NOTE H -- CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in a legal proceeding that was filed by Fuji
Photo Film Co., Ltd. with the International Trade Commission on February 13,
1998. The action was filed against a number of importers, including the
Company's OptiColor, Inc. subsidiary, alleging patent infringement of U.S.
patents held by Fuji on single-use cameras through the importation and resale of
recycled cameras. Fuji was seeking an order prohibiting importation of
infringing cameras into the U.S. and prohibiting further sales of such products
which had been imported. Sales of recycled cameras accounted for 4.1% of the
Company's net revenues during fiscal 1999 and 3.8% for fiscal 1998. After an
evidentiary hearing before an ITC Administrative Law Judge in November 1998, the
ITC Commissioners issued a final order in June 1999 prohibiting the Company and
its subsidiaries from importing and selling imported recycled single-use
cameras. The Company has appealed the ITC Commissioners' order to the Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals. A decision on the appeal has not yet issued but is
expected to occur sometime in the latter half of 2000. There is a risk that Fuji
might bring a civil action against OptiColor
Page 8 of 18
<PAGE>
PHOTOWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE H -- CONTINGENCIES (continued)
and the Company for damages caused by the sales of cameras which have been found
in the ITC proceeding to infringe Fuji patents. In 1999, Fuji brought civil
action's for patent infringement against three other companies and has stated in
a press release that it is reviewing its options with respect to other companies
involved in the sale of products that infringe its patents. If such an action
were brought against the Company, the ITC decision would not be binding in the
civil proceeding and would not prevent OptiColor and the Company from raising
and litigating all available defenses, but may be persuasive against the
Company. At this time, the likelihood that such an action would be brought, and,
if brought, its ultimate outcome and impact on the Company, are not
determinable. The Company does not expect the litigation to have a significant
impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
A complaint was filed against the Company on March 29, 2000, and amended
April 24, 2000, by five individual plaintiffs who are suing on their own behalf
and purportedly on behalf of a class of all private citizens and
non-governmental entities who have received from the Company, and had the
Company process, "C-41" 35 mm color film from the Company or who have received
replacement rolls of film from the Company after film processing. This complaint
alleges that the Company has engaged in unfair and deceptive practices by
allegedly misrepresenting that film received from the Company must be processed
only by the Company and that replacement film is "free." This complaint requests
injunctive and declaratory relief and restitution and damages in unspecified
amounts, and also requests trebling of damages and recovery of litigation
expenses pursuant to the Washington Consumer Protection Act.
The suit is in its beginning stage, and the court has not yet determined
whether the individual plaintiffs will be permitted to prosecute the suit as a
class action. Management of the Company intends to contest the suit vigorously,
both as to the complaint's substantive allegations and as to whether the suit
may properly be prosecuted as a class action.
The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of its business.
NOTE I -- CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In February 2000, PhotoWorks completed a private offering of 15,000 shares
of Series A convertible preferred stock for $14,936,000, net of offering costs
of $65,000. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a conversion price of
$4.75 and include warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of
$6.00 per share. The shares of Series A preferred stock are convertible into a
total of 3,157,895 shares of common stock and the warrants are exercisable to
purchase a total of 789,474 shares of common stock. The shares are convertible
at the holder's option at any time after August 1, 2000 and may be redeemed by
the Company anytime after February 14, 2003. The holders of Series A preferred
stock have preferential rights to receive dividends at the rate of 6% (which may
increase to 10% if the Company has not hired a Chief Operating Officer
acceptable to the holders of Series A preferred stock by August 15, 2000) but
only when and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The holders are
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock
into which the preferred stock could be converted. The difference between the
conversion price of $4.75 and market value on the date of closing and the fair
value of the warrants has been recorded as a discount to paid in capital. The
discount of $3,023,000 is being accreted over the six-month holding period prior
to eligible conversion of the Series A. Through June 24, 2000 $2,546,000 has
been recorded as preferred stock accretion. The preferred stock accretion is a
deduction of amounts available to common shareholders in earnings per share
calculations.

NOTE J -- ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") issued
FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation." The interpretation provides guidance regarding the application of
APB Opinion No. 25 for certain issues related to stock compensation. The
interpretation is effective July 1, 2000. As of July 1, 2000, the Company had a
total of 48,750 stock options subject to variable accounting, which will be
measured quarterly against the July 3, 2000 stock price of $3.06. The difference
between the July 3, 2000 price of $3.06 and the fair market value at each
reporting period will be recognized as compensation expense.
In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on
EITF 00-14 "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives." The consensus addressed
the recognition, measurement and income statement classification for sales
incentives such as discounts and coupons offered by a vendor to customers for
use in a single exchange transaction. The implementation date of this consensus
is the fourth quarter of a registrants fiscal year beginning after December 15,
1999. Upon application of this consensus, comparative financial statements for
prior periods should be reclassified to comply with the classification
provisions of this Issue. If the Company had implemented this consensus during
the quarter ended June 24, 2000, approximately $280,000 would have been
reclassified from marketing expenses to cost of goods sold for the three and
nine months ended June 24, 2000.

General
-------
PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is the leading Internet
photo services company, dedicated to providing its customers with innovative
ways to enjoy and use their photos.* With more than 125 million images archived,
PhotoWorks.com (www.photoworks.com) is the largest consumer photo site on the
Web.* The PhotoWorks service provides both traditional and digital camera users
with the easiest way to store and organize photos online, share them with
friends and family and order reprints, photo albums and other photo related
products.* The Company draws upon a unique dual heritage as a top-rated
photofinisher with over twenty years of experience along with a tradition of
innovation and leadership in digital and online photo services. The Company was
the first to offer free scanning, online archiving and e-mail sharing services
to both traditional and digital camera users, and hosts the largest consumer
online photo archive in the world, currently with over 125 million images. The
Company offers services and products primarily under the brand names
PhotoWorks(R) and Seattle FilmWorks(R). The Company, formerly Seattle FilmWorks,
Inc., changed its corporate name to PhotoWorks, Inc. on February 1, 2000.
Since 1978, the Company has been an industry leader in the introduction of
value-added photo-related services and products and has continued this tradition
by launching its online photo sharing service, PhotoWorks(R) in April 1999. The
Company offers prints, slides, digital images and online archiving, all from the
same roll of 35mm film. PhotoWorks can process any brand of 35mm film, Advanced
Photo Systems (24mm) film or 35mm single-use camera. PhotoWorks was among the
first to provide express-mail delivery, cross-referenced data on prints and
negatives, a composite photo index and a convenient reorder system. To a lesser
extent, the Company provides photofinishing services, products and supplies on a
wholesale basis. The Company anticipates phasing out a portion of its wholesale
business during fiscal year 2000. Net revenues attributable to wholesale
products and services in fiscal 1999 were approximately 9.1% of the Company's
total net revenues.
Since 1994, the Company has been a pioneer in providing digital-imaging
technologies which enable photofinishing customers to share personal photographs
with friends, family and business associates. Products incorporating these
technologies include (i) Pictures On Disk(TM), a floppy disk containing digital
images from a roll of film; (ii) PhotoWorks(R) software, which can be used to
create digital photograph albums and screen savers; (iii) Pictures On Disk(TM)
on CD, a CD containing digital images from a roll of film; and (iv)
PhotoWorks(R), an online service that provides both traditional and digital
camera users with the easiest way to store and organize photos online, share
them with friends and family, and order reprints, photo albums and other photo
related products.* In February 2000, the Company announced the initial launch of
its PhotoWorks(R) UpLoader service for digital cameras, signifying its
commitment to the online business model.* PhotoWorks(R) UpLoader provides free
downloadable software that customers can use to extract images from their
cameras and upload them to their password-protected PhotoWorks(R) online
archive. Customers may upload as many images as they wish and archive
Page 11 of 18
<PAGE>
them at the PhotoWorks(R) site free as long as they remain an active customer of
PhotoWorks. PhotoWorks provides online services for all photographers regardless
of what type of camera they use to take their photos. Recently, the Company
introduced PhotoWorks(R) Albums, an online service which allows customers to
organize their archived images into personal albums. In addition, the Company
introduced a new scanning service to allow customers to send in any photo for
scanning into their personal archive. PhotoWorks anticipates development of
additional products and services to enable customers to view and share their
photos over the Internet.*
The Company has recently partnered with other Internet-related companies to
broaden the marketing of its PhotoWorks(R) services, and provide customers with
new and interesting ways to share their photos. The Company has entered into
agreements with AT&T WorldNet(R) Services, Amazon.com Auctions, RealNetworks,
and Evoke, and most recently announced an agreement with Visioneer, the inventor
of OneTouch(TM) scanning technology. PhotoWorks and Visioneer plan to work
together to enable customers to easily scan digital images with a touch of a
button directly into the PhotoWorks' online consumer photo archive.* Other
recent partnering agreements with CelebrateExpress.com, and Family Beat.com and
a variety of other alliances enable customers to integrate their digital images
into the partnering companies' services and products.*
The Company primarily uses direct-marketing techniques to target selected
consumers, measure customer response and obtain direct customer feedback to
changes in marketing strategies. The Company has developed comprehensive
statistical models for the design and analysis of its direct-response marketing
programs using proprietary customer data compiled over 18 years. The Company
also uses other traditional advertising such as radio, television and print
advertising, to promote its new PhotoWorks(R) services and products. Over the
past several years, the Company has targeted the growing population of personal
computer users in connection with the introduction of digital-imaging services
and products. In May 2000, the Company launched a major advertising and branding
campaign to promote its online services and products. The marketing campaign
significantly increased marketing expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2000
as compared to the prior year third quarter. The advertising and branding
campaign will continue into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, although the
Company expects its expenditures on the campaign in this quarter to be
significantly lower than its third quarter expenditures.*
Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $27,165,000 compared
to net loss of $7,719,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Net loss for
the first nine months of fiscal 1999 included charges of $12,600,000 related to
accelerated amortization of previously deferred customer acquisition costs,
while fiscal 2000 reflects the increased promotional and marketing expenses of
$24,221,000 described above. The Company expects that operating results will
fluctuate in the future due to changes in the mix of sales, intensity and
effectiveness of promotional activities (and in particular, the Company's
marketing campaign launched in May 2000), price increases or decreases by
suppliers, the Company's ability to enter into partnering arrangements with
other Internet-related companies, introductions of new products, research and
development requirements, introduction of new products, pricing, advertising and
other activities by competitors, foreign currency exchange rates, conditions in
the direct-to-consumer market and the digital imaging and photofinishing
industries in general, fluctuation in Internet use, national and global economic
conditions and other factors.*
Demand for the Company's photo-related services and products is seasonal,
with the highest volume of photofinishing activity occurring during the summer
months. However, seasonality of demand may be offset by the introduction of new
services and products, changes in the level of effectiveness of customer
acquisition programs, activities by competitors, production difficulties and
other factors.* This seasonality has produced greater photofinishing net
revenues during the last half of the Company's fiscal year (April through
September), with a peak occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter. Net income is
affected by the seasonality of the Company's net revenues due to the fixed
nature of a portion of the Company's operating expenses, seasonal variation in
sales mix, and the Company's practice of incurring relatively higher marketing
program expenditures prior to the summer months.

</TABLE>
Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were $19,862,000 compared
to net revenues of $22,801,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For the
nine months ended June 24, 2000, net revenues were $59,149,000 compared to
$63,615,00 for the same period of fiscal 1999. For the quarter, the decrease in
net revenues was primarily due to a decline in net revenues from traditional
photofinishing of approximately 45% from the same period of the prior year,
which was partially offset by a 20% increase in net revenues from orders
including digital services. Management believes the increase in orders including
digital services indicates a transition in customer preference for digital
services.* Pricing changes for Pictures On Disk(R) and 4 x 6 prints, combined
with marketing promotions offering free film processing to first time customers
(which typically result in lower net revenues on a per order basis) contributed
to an overall decline in net revenues for the quarter and year to date. In
addition, net revenues from ancillary businesses decreased $731,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and
decreased $2,277,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 as compared to the
first nine months of fiscal 1999. The decline in net revenues from ancillary
businesses was primarily due to reduced sales of the Company's wholesale film
primarily attributable to lower retail pricing of major competing film brands
and the Company's curtailment of recycled single-use camera sales following the
June 1999 ruling by the International Trade Commission prohibiting the
importation and sales of recycled single-use cameras. The Company plans to phase
out wholesale film sales and certain other wholesale activities during fiscal
year 2000. *
Cost of goods and services consist of labor, postage, supplies and fixed
operating costs related to the Company's services and products. Gross profit in
the third quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to 23.2% of net revenues compared to
35.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For the first nine months of fiscal
2000, gross profit decreased to 28.6% compared to 35.4% for the same period of
fiscal 1999. The decreases in gross profit were primarily due to increased
expenditures for scanning and archiving costs for online services, labor,
materials, delivery costs, and overhead costs associated with services and
products. Service enhancements such as priority mail upgrades and increases in
customer service costs account for approximately 4% of the decrease in gross
profit during the third quarter of fiscal 2000. During the second quarter of
fiscal 2000, the Company began setting new service standards to better serve its
customers. These standards which include priority mail and expanded e-mail
communications with customers as to order status and marketing promotions, have
significantly
Page 13 of 18
<PAGE>
increased the number of e-mail inquires which are responded to by customer
service representatives. Labor and equipment costs for production areas
increased as a percentage of net revenues due primarily to a ramp up in capacity
in anticipation of projected volumes increases. This accounted for approximately
3% of the decline in gross profit during the third quarter of fiscal 2000.
Depreciation and lease costs for archiving equipment and facilities accounted
for approximately 4% of the decline in gross profit during the third quarter of
fiscal 2000. Fluctuations in gross profit will occur in future periods due to
the seasonal nature of revenues, mix of product sales, free promotion offers,
level and nature of marketing activities and other factors.*
Total operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased to
$26,643,000, or 134.1% of net revenues, compared to $14,579,000, or 63.9% of net
revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For the first nine months of
fiscal 2000, total operating expenses increased to $44,580,000, or 75.3% of net
revenues compared to $35,473,000, or 55.7% of net revenues for the same period
of fiscal 1999. Operating expenses for each of the first three quarters in
fiscal 1999 included $4,200,000 amortization of previously deferred capitalized
customer acquisition costs which were fully amortized during fiscal 1999.
Excluding these accelerated amortization costs, total operating expenses would
have been $10,379,000, or 45.5% of net revenues in the third quarter of fiscal
1999 and $22,873,000, or 35.9% of net revenues, for the first nine months of
fiscal 1999. Comparable fiscal 2000 operating expenses increased over the third
quarter and first nine months of the previous fiscal year due to significant
increases related to an aggressive branding and marketing campaign which was
launched in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. This campaign includes a national
branding campaign combined with customer acquisition programs and marketing
communications to existing customers. Operating expenses also include increased
research and development costs related to the Company's online services and
products and general and administrative costs. Future periods may reflect
increased or decreased operating costs due the timing and magnitude of
marketing, research and development and general and administrative activities.*
Marketing expenses include current period expenses associated with customer
acquisition, building brand awareness, testing of new marketing strategies and
marketing to existing customers. Marketing expenses in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 increased to $24,221,000, or 121.9% of net revenues, compared to
$8,621,000, or 37.8% of net revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For
the first nine months of fiscal 2000, marketing expenses were $38,089,000, or
64.4% of net revenues, compared to $18,007,000, or 28.3% of net revenues, for
the first nine months of fiscal 1999. During the third quarter of fiscal 2000,
the Company launched an $8 million national brand advertising campaign to
promote brand awareness in the online photo services market, approximately 75%
of the costs of which were incurred in the third quarter. Other marketing
programs during the third quarter targeted existing customers to inform them of
the Company's online product offerings and name change. The Company also
initiated this quarter, a major direct mail and Internet campaign to acquire new
customers interested in its online digital services and products. The Company
anticipates additional marketing costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 to
be significantly less than the third quarter, although it has existing
commitments for marketing expenditures and expects it will continue to market at
levels higher than the prior year fourth quarter.* Accordingly, the Company
anticipates that marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 will
increase as compared to the prior year period. * At this point, it is too early
to measure the success of the branding and marketing campaigns.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in
developing digital services and computer software products and equipment
necessary to provide customers with new computer-related photographic services
and products. Research and development expenses increased to $532,000, or 2.7%
of net revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $506,000, or
2.2% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Research and
development expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 increased to
$1,616,000, or 2.7% of net revenues, as compared to $961,000, or 1.5% of net
revenues, for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. These increases were due
primarily to additional personnel hired to support research and development for
PhotoWorks(R) online archiving and photo sharing services and web-based
initiatives.
General and administrative expenses consist of costs related to computer
operations, human resource functions, finance, legal, accounting, investor
relations and general corporate activities. General and administrative expenses
increased to $1,890,000, or 9.5% of net revenues, for third quarter of fiscal
2000 compared to $1,252,000, or 5.5% of net revenues, for the third quarter of
fiscal 1999. General and administrative costs increased to $4,875,000, or 8.2%
of net revenues, for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 as compared to
$3,905,000, or 6.1% of net revenues, for the first nine months of fiscal 1999.
These increases were primarily a result of increased expenditures related to
information technology systems to support the Company's expanding computer-based
and Internet-related operations combined with increases in recruiting, investor
relations, legal and professional fees, and wages and benefits. General and
administrative expenses may continue to increase
Page 14 of 18
<PAGE>
as a result of expansions in information technology systems and administrative
staff and expenses related to recruiting and investor relations.* The Company
also anticipates increased legal fees to defend the recently filed litigation
(see Legal Proceedings in Item 1 of Part II below).*
Total other income for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased to
$323,000 as compared to $125,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For the
first nine months of fiscal 2000, total other income was $913,000 as compared to
$491,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. These increases were
primarily due to higher interest income primarily attributable to the Company's
higher cash and short-term investment balances following the sale of Series A
preferred stock in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, it was determined that due to the
Company's continued focus on promotional activities related to its digital
imaging and online services, and the effects of such costs on its ongoing
profitability, it was appropriate to provide a valuation allowance equal to the
amount of deferred tax assets not recoverable through operating loss carrybacks.
During the third quarter the Company finalized and filed its tax return for
fiscal 1999. The amount of operating loss carrybacks estimated during the second
quarter was updated to reflect book to return differences primarily related to
alternative minimum tax calculations. As a result, quarterly income tax expense
for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $183,000 or .8% of pre-tax operating
loss, as opposed to a benefit of approximately $7,400,000 (assuming a normal
statutory rate of 34%). For the nine months ended June 24, 2000, income tax
expense was $428,000 or 1.6% of pre-tax operating loss, as opposed to a benefit
of approximately $9,100,000 (assuming a normal statutory rate of 34%).
Utilization of the remaining deferred tax assets of approximately $10,040,000 is
dependent on future profits that are not assured.
Net loss increased to $21,902,000, or 110.2% of net revenues, in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to a net loss of $4,134,000, or 18.1% of net
revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. For the first nine months of
fiscal 2000, net loss increased to $27,165,000, or 45.9% as a percentage of net
revenues, compared to a loss of $7,719,000, or 12.1% of net revenues, for the
same period of fiscal 1999. The fiscal 2000 period increases in net loss were
primarily due to increased operating expenses, primarily marketing expenses,
combined with decreases in net revenues and gross profit. The net loss for the
fiscal 1999 periods included previously deferred customer acquisition costs as
discussed in operating expenses above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
As of July 28, 2000, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash and short-term investments of approximately $9,531,000. The Company also
has a line of credit of $6,000,000 secured by the Company's cash and
investments. The line of credit is currently primarily reserved for outstanding
letters of credit of approximately $5,115,000. A letter of credit for $5,000,000
was issued during the third quarter to secure national media advertising. The
$5,000,000 letter of credit expires on September 15, 2000. The Company
anticipates that the line of credit will be reduced to approximately $1,000,000
at that time.* The ratio of current assets to current liabilities for the
Company was 1.5 to 1 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared
to a current ratio of 3.6 to 1 at September 25, 1999. During the first nine
months of fiscal 2000, prepaid promotions increased by $2,777,000 related to
marketing programs planned for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and accounts
payable increased by $6,847,000 primarily due to marketing programs during the
third quarter of fiscal 2000.
Although the Company does not currently have any fixed material commitments
with regard to capital expenditures, it currently expects to spend approximately
$1,000,000 during the remainder of fiscal 2000, principally for data storage,
computer network equipment, and photofinishing equipment. In addition, the
Company is committed to approximately $2,000,000 of television and print
advertising to promote its online services for sharing, printing and storing
photos.
The Company currently anticipates that existing funds together with
anticipated cash flow from operations and the Company's available line of credit
will be sufficient to finance its operations and planned capital expenditures
and to service its indebtedness for the near future. However, if the Company
does not generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy its ongoing
expenses, the Company will be required to seek external sources of financing or
to refinance its obligations. Possible sources of additional financing include
the sale of equity securities or additional bank borrowings. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing
in the future.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For an update concerning the legal proceeding filed by Fuji Photo Film Co.,
Ltd. on February 13, 1998, and the class action filed on March 29, 2000, see
Note H of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I above.
A complaint was filed against the Company on March 29, 2000, and amended
April 24, 2000, by five individual plaintiffs who are suing on their own behalf
and purportedly on behalf of a class of all private citizens and
non-governmental entities who have received from the Company, and had the
Company process, "C-41" 35 mm color film from the Company or who have received
replacement rolls of film from the Company after film processing. This complaint
alleges that the Company has engaged in unfair and deceptive practices by
allegedly misrepresenting that film received from the Company must be processed
only by the Company and that replacement film is "free." This complaint requests
injunctive and declaratory relief and restitution and damages in unspecified
amounts, and also requests trebling of damages and recovery of litigation
expenses pursuant to the Washington Consumer Protection Act.
The suit is in its beginning stage, and the court has not yet determined
whether the individual plaintiffs will be permitted to prosecute the suit as a
class action. Management of the Company intends to contest the suit vigorously,
both as to the complaint's substantive allegations and as to whether the suit
may properly be prosecuted as a class action.
