COMPUTER MARKETPLACE, INC.
PART IV[3] - NARRATIVE FOR FORM 12B-25
The Company anticipates a net loss of approximately $3.3 million for the year
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.3 million for
the previous year ended June 30, 1996. The Company experienced a decrease in
revenues of approximately $6 million and a decrease in operating expenses of
approximately $4 million due mainly to a general industry sales decrease, along
with a decrease in sales personnel, and reduced operating leverage resulting
from lower product sales and the Company's focus on liquidating older inventory
which has a lower profit margin.
