NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS)
(UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
eMarketplace, Inc., (the "Company" or "eMarketplace") is a Delaware holding
company that acquires and develops Internet businesses that provide content,
commerce and online services to demographically-targeted audiences. E-Taxi, a
wholly owned subsidiary acquired in April 1999, was incorporated in the state of
Delaware on April 14, 1998, to develop a vertical Internet portal for the small
office, home office ("SOHO") market.
The acquisition of E-Taxi by the Company signified the adoption by the Company
of a new corporate strategy to develop, operate and acquire Internet businesses.
Additionally, in April 1999, immediately prior to the Company's acquisition of
E-Taxi, E-Taxi acquired TechStore, L.L.C. ("TechStore"), an online retailer of
computer hardware and software, in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase. The results of operations include the results of TechStore from the
date of acquisition.
In November 1999, the Company and its newly formed subsidiary, TopTeam, Inc.
("TopTeam"), closed on the acquisition of six Internet consulting companies -
Full Moon Interactive Group, Inc., Orrell Communications, Inc., Devries Data
Systems, Inc., Muccino Design Group, Inc., Image Network, Inc., and OnCourse
Network, Inc. (collectively, the "Interactive Architect Firms"). As a result of
the acquisitions, i) TopTeam owned all of the outstanding capital stock of the
Internet Architect Firms; and ii) eMarketplace owned approximately 44.9% of the
total TopTeam shares outstanding. On February 23, 2000, Top Team changed its
name to Full Moon Interactive, Inc. ("Full Moon"). Hereinafter, Top Team and its
subsidiaries will be referred to as Full Moon.
(2) NATURE OF OPERATIONS
FULL MOON is an Internet consulting firm, which provides e-business solutions to
its customers desiring to initiate or enhance their presence on the Internet.
Its services include, among others, strategic market consulting and research,
web site design, brand management, ancillary promotional sales, media buying and
management, online marketing and software engineering and technical program
management. Full Moon's primary market is the Western United States. The company
has offices in Los Angeles, the Silicon Valley and Lubbock, Texas.
TECHSTORE, TOGETHER WITH OFFICE EXPRESS, INC. ("OFFICE EXPRESS") are global
Internet retailers featuring over 75,000 consumer technology and related
products for the home and office. Its products include computer hardware,
software, electronics, other consumer technology products and office equipment
and supplies. TechStore's and Office Express's headquarters are in Novato,
California.
E-TAXI was incorporated in April 1998 to develop a vertical Internet portal for
the small office, home office ("SOHO") market. As part of this strategy, E-Taxi
acquired TechStore in April, 1999, immediately prior to the reverse acquisition
of Computer Marketplace, Inc. by E-Taxi. Plans to create a SOHO portal by E-Taxi
have been postponed as a result of the Company's focus on developing Full Moon.
E-Taxi currently has no other revenues or expenses other than those of
TechStore, its wholly owned subsidiary.
STARSONLINE, INC. ("STARSONLINE") was formed in February 2000 and initially
capitalized with $250,000 to develop and launch an Internet based entertainment
company. StarsOnline expects to build a celebrity portal that enables Internet
users to access the official sites of well-known personalities in television,
film, music, fashion, publishing, sports and art. StarsOnline is currently in
the start-up stage and has no revenues and only nominal expenses.

<PAGE>
(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies of eMarketplace, Inc. are set forth in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2000 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
BASIS OF REPORTING - The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2000,
the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three Months Ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity for the
Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared
by the Company without audit. The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
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, such statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary in
order to make the interim financial statements not misleading. It is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
June 30, 2000.
RECLASSIFICATION - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to current year financial statement presentation.
NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK - Common stock issued in the reverse
acquisition is treated as outstanding for all periods presented on the basis of
the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Potential common shares
arising from the effect of dilutive stock options and warrants using the
treasury stock method are included if dilutive. For fiscal years 2001 and 2000,
the per share results were computed without consideration for contingently
issuable shares underlying stock options and warrants as the effect on the per
share results would be anti-dilutive.
SEGMENTS - Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
The Company identifies its operating segments as components of an enterprise for
which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated by the chief
operating decision maker or decision making group to make decisions how to
allocate resources and assess performance. For the quarter ended September 30,
2000, the Company effectively has two business segments, its interactive
architects business and its online retailing business, for purposes of SFAS No.
131. For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company operated its online
retailing activities as a single business segment.
(4) GOING CONCERN
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had recurring losses and difficulty
meeting its financial obligations as they became due. Cash used in operations
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $1.5 million.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In view of these
matters, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the
Company's ability to meet its financing requirements, the success of its future
operations and the reduction of its costs. Management is in the process of
seeking additional debt and equity financing and has implemented cost
reductions. The Company is also in the process of analyzing potential equity
investments. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise
the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for
the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that
management will be successful in the implementation of its plans. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments in the event the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

<PAGE>
(5) RELATED PARTIES LOANS
On February 29, 2000, the Company received a promissory note from Gateway
Advisors, Inc. ("Gateway") (a company owned and controlled by Robert M. Wallace,
the Company's Chairman of the Board) in the amount of $800,000, and bearing
interest at 11% per annum. The principal amount and accrued interest were due
and payable on April 1, 2000. The note was paid in full on August 29, 2000.
(6) DEBT
LINE OF CREDIT - At September 30, 2000, Full Moon had $900,000 outstanding under
a line of credit with Grand Pacific Financing Corp, a California corporation.
The line of credit calls for borrowings of up to $1,500,000 and is subject to
borrowing restrictions based on the accounts receivable borrowing base. This
base shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 70% of eligible accounts with balances
less than 30 days from the invoice date plus 35% of eligible accounts with
balances over 30 days but less than 60 days from invoice date plus 15% of
eligible accounts with balances over 60 days from invoice date; or $1,500,000.
The line of credit is due upon the earlier of (1) February 11, 2001; (2) upon
the successful initial public offering of its equity securities; (3) upon
liquidation, dissolution, merger or consolidation or commencement of proceedings
thereof; (4) upon equity or debt financing in excess of $5,000,000. The line of
credit bears interest at prime (9.5% at September 30) plus 1.00%. As
additional consideration for the loan, Full Moon granted Grand Pacific warrants
to purchase 33,000 shares of common stock of Full Moon at $0.01 per share. This
line is secured by all of the assets of Full Moon.
(7) TERMINATED ACQUISITION
On August 24, 2000, the merger agreement by and among BayWeb, Inc.,
eMarketplace, Full Moon, M. Mitchell Stevko, and C. Jett Winter, dated as of
June 26, 2000, was terminated in accordance with its terms as a result of
material adverse changes in BayWeb's financial condition and operating results.

OVERVIEW
eMarketplace, Inc. (the "Company or eMarketplace") consists of
eMarketplace, Inc. and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries: Full Moon
Interactive, Inc. ("Full Moon or FMI"), E-Taxi,Inc. ("E-Taxi"), TechStore, Inc.
("TechStore"), OfficeExpress, Inc. ("OfficeExpress") and StarsOnline,
Inc. ("StarsOnline").
FULL MOON is an Internet consulting firm, which provides e-business
solutions to its customers desiring to initiate or enhance their presence on the
Internet. Its services include, among others, strategic market consulting and
research, web site design, brand management, ancillary promotional sales, media
buying and management, online marketing and software engineering and technical
program management. The firm also provides creative and design services
primarily related to establishing and fostering corporate image development. FMI
is a professional services firm who derives its revenues from the delivery of
services under project engagements that vary in amount depending on the type and
duration of service being provided.
TECHSTORE, TOGETHER WITH OFFICE EXPRESS are global Internet retailers
featuring over 75,000 consumer technology and related products for the home and
office. With over 100,000 customers world wide, together the companies offer an
online "superstore" at www.techstore.com and www.officeexpress.com that
provides one-stop shopping for domestic and international customers, 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. The superstore features computer hardware, software,
electronics, other consumer technology products and office equipment and
supplies.
E-TAXI was incorporated in April 1998 to develop a vertical Internet
portal for the small office, home office ("SOHO") market. As part of this
strategy, E-Taxi acquired TechStore in April 1999, immediately prior to the
reverse acquisition of Computer Marketplace, Inc. by E-Taxi. Plans to create a
SOHO portal by E-Taxi have been postponed as a result of the Company's focus on
developing Full Moon. E-Taxi currently has no other operations, revenues or
expenses.
13
<PAGE>
STARSONLINE was formed in February 2000 and initially capitalized
with $250,000 to develop and launch an Internet based entertainment company.
StarsOnline expects to build a celebrity portal that enables Internet users to
access the official sites of well-known personalities in television, film,
music, fashion, publishing, sports and art. Many of these official sites will be
designed, developed and managed by StarsOnline in partnership with popular
celebrities. Additionally this full service vertical portal is expected to
provide celebrity-driven content, products and services in an entertaining and
interactive environment. StarsOnline believes it will be able, therefore, to
aggregate and monetize the affinity audiences of these famous personalities.
By providing real value to each of the constituencies (consumers,
celebrities, commerce partners) in the star-driven entertainment marketplace,
StarsOnline expects to position itself to capture multiple revenue streams.
StarsOnline expects to generate revenues from sales of authentic and exclusive
celebrity merchandise and memorabilia, strategic sponsorships, targeted
advertising, affinity audience traffic, content syndication, premium
memberships, and special promotions.
StarsOnline is currently in the start-up stage and has no revenues
and approximately $72,000 of expenses, primarily start up costs.
Our Internet businesses have a very limited operating history on
which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties
frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development,
particularly companies with limited access to capital in new and rapidly
evolving markets such as the Internet market. In view of the rapidly evolving
nature of our business and our limited operating history, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as indications of future performance.
Additionally, the dynamics of the demand for Internet consulting
services are changing rapidly. During the three months ended September 30, 2000,
the Company experienced a significant reduction in demand. The weakening
condition or failure of many of the Internet based "dot-com" companies caused
many clients to rethink or delay implementing their Internet strategy. In
addition, many larger traditional companies have chosen to utilize in-house
resources for the implementation of their Internet initiative in lieu of those
of the Company and its competitors. As a result, the average amount of time
invested by the Company to secure any given project has increased. It is
possible that demand for Internet consulting services, including those offered
by the Company, will remain lower than prior levels for the foreseeable future.
In response to the reduction in demand for the Company's services,
the Company has undertaken a restructuring plan designed to reduce the Company's
workforce and operating expenses, and to "right size" the labor force relative
to the fallen revenue levels. As of September 30, 2000, approximately 44
employees had been eliminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, in
connection with the restructuring plan. Management is continuing to restructure
its operations and additional voluntary and involuntary terminations have
continued into the second fiscal quarter. As a result of the restructuring and
employee terminations, it may prove increasingly difficult for the Company to
attract and retain its most
14
<PAGE>
qualified employees. The failure to attract and retain qualified creative,
technical, consulting and sales personnel could materially and adversely affect
the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET LOSS
The Company recorded a net loss of approximately $2.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, because the cost of revenues and expenses
were not sufficient to cover revenues generated. Contributing to the net loss
were non-cash expenses of approximately $1 million, consisting of $623,000 of
depreciation and amortization, $79,000 of amortization related to deferred
compensation and a reserve against advances to Bayweb of $340,000. Offsetting
these items is $1.3 million of minority interest attributable to the minority
shareholders of Full Moon. Excluding these non-cash items, $1.8 million of the
loss was attributable to Full Moon and an $18,000 gain was attributable to
TechStore and Office Express combined. The balance of approximately $387,000 is
attributable to corporate administration.
REVENUE
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $7.9
million, which consists of $3.4 million of online retailing revenue by TechStore
and Office Express, and $4.5 million of revenue generated by Full Moon. Online
retailing revenues improved by approximately 17% to $3.4 million in the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $2.9 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily the result of continued growth of
the Internet as a vehicle to purchase products, reduction in the number of
online competitors, launch of OfficeExpress and more sophisticated merchandising
and pricing management.
TechStore and Office Express utilize vendor drop-shipments directly
to customers, and therefore do not maintain inventory. Because TechStore and
OfficeExpress assume the risk of ownership in all transactions, revenues are
recorded on a gross rather than net basis.
COST OF REVENUE
Total cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $6.2
million or 79% of revenue. Cost of sales includes the cost of products sold,
credit card processing fees and freight costs for product sales, and time &
materials for Internet consulting services.
Online retailing by TechStore and Office Express had cost of sales of
$3.1 million, or 92% of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
compared to cost of sales of $2.7 million, or 93% of revenue, for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999. This modest improvement in the gross margin was due to
improvements in pricing management. The Company expects margins for this segment
to remain low in the near future as it uses competitive pricing as a means to
obtain increased market share.
TechStore is entirely dependent upon a third party for order
fulfillment. Currently, TechStore utilizes fulfillment services offered by
TechData Corporation, a leading full-line distributor of more than 75,000
technology products worldwide. TechData offers fulfillment services via six
regional distribution centers. TechStore has no long-term contracts or
arrangements with TechData that guarantee the availability, shipping, or quality
of merchandise.
TechStore relies upon one major supplier to ship merchandise directly
to customers. Consequently, TechStore has limited control over the goods
shipped, and at times these shipments have been subject to delays. If the
quality of service provided by the supplier, falls below a satisfactory standard
or if our level of returns exceeds our expectations, this could have a harmful
effect on our business. The Company believes that it could establish a similar
relationship with other supplier; however, there can be no assurance that such
supplier could provide the fulfillment, service and pricing currently offered by
the supplier to TechStore.
Office Express is also entirely dependent upon a third party for
order fulfillment. Currently OfficeExpress utilizes fulfillment services offered
by United Stationers Supply Co., the nation's largest wholesale distributor of
office, computer, and facilities management products.
Full Moon's cost of sales was $3.1 million, or 69% of revenue for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, were $4.4 million or 56% of revenue compared to
selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,013,000 or 35.2% of revenue
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The increase in these expenses was due
to the inclusion of the operations of Full Moon, which represented $3.5 million
of the Company's SG&A expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and other
personnel related expenses, facilities related expenses, legal and other
professional fees, bad debt expense, advertising costs, travel expenses and
depreciation. The quarter ended September 30, 2000 included $79,000 in non-cash
expenses related to the amortization of deferred compensation, $ 623,000 of
depreciation and amortization and a $340,000 reserve against funds advanced to
Bayweb in connection with the potential acquisition. The Company expects to
incur approximately $80,000 per quarter for three more quarters for the
amortization of the deferred compensation associated with warrants.
TechStore and Office Express had combined SG&A of $260,000, or 8% of
combined revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to SG&A of
$256,000, or 8.9% of revenue, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. For the
combined companies, SG&A includes $32,000 in occupancy expense, $4,000 of office
expense, $20,000 of depreciation expense, $112,000 in salaries and $80,000 of
advertising.
Full Moon's SG&A was $3.5 million, or 79% of revenue for quarter
ended September 30, 2000. Full Moon's SG&A includes $262,000 in rent expense,
$18,000 in professional fees, $2.4 million in salaries, $196,000 of contract
labor, $196,000 in travel, $84,000 in depreciation and $57,000 in recruiting
expenses. It also includes a non-cash expense of $340,000 representing a reserve
aganst amounts advanced in connection with the potential BayWeb acquisition.

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUIRED INTANGIBLES
During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred
$487,000 in amortization expenses associated with the acquisition of TechStore
and Full Moon. The intangible assets associated with these acquisitions,
consisted of $12.4 million in goodwill, $140,000 in acquired technology $160,000
in established workforce and $280,000 in trademarks, which are being amortized
over their estimated useful lives of four to ten years.
In the event that the Company continues to acquire other companies,
amortization of goodwill will continue to have an impact on the Company's
results of operations in the future. Based on acquisitions completed as of
September 30, 2000, and assuming no further impairment of the value of the
Company's subsidiaries resulting in a write-down of goodwill, future
amortization of goodwill and identifiable intangibles will reduce net income
from operations by approximately $1.9 million in fiscal years 2001, 2002, and
2003, $1.1 million in fiscal year 2004, and $500,000 in 2005.
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Interest income, net of interest expense, was $3,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense related primarily to interest on
loans to the Company and interest income resulted primarily from interest earned
on notes to related parties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
The Company incurred a net loss of $1.4 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 because the revenue generated was not sufficient to cover
cost of revenues and expenses generated. Total revenue for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 was $2.8 million, which consists almost exclusively of
revenue from the sale of computer hardware and software and consumer electronics
by TechStore. Total cost of revenue was $2.7 million, or 93% of revenue, and
included cost of product sold, credit card processing fees and freight costs.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 were $1 million and consisted of salaries and other personnel
related costs, facilities, legal and other professional fees, advertising costs
and travel expenses. The quarter also included $364,000 in non-cash expense
associated with stock options issued to an accounting consultant, warrants
issued to a business advisor and stock issued to minority investors in a
Consolidated Subsidiary.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred
$580,000 in amortization expenses associated with the acquisitions of TechStore
and the reverse merger between the Company and E-taxi. Interest expense, net of
interest income, was $9,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Interest
expense related primarily to interest on loans to the Company and interest
income resulted primarily from interest earned on the remaining balance of the
$1.4 million proceeds on the private placement completed by E-Taxi in April
1999.
VARIABILITY OF PERIODIC RESULTS AND SEASONALITY
Results from any one period cannot be used to predict the results for
other fiscal periods. Revenues fluctuate from period to period, however,
management does not see any seasonality or predictability to these fluctuations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2000 the Company had a cash balance of $259,000 and
a working capital deficit of $2.0 million. The Company's operations generated a
negative cash flow for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, and
management expects a significant use of cash during the upcoming fiscal year as
it funds its operating businesses. The Company will require additional debt or
equity financing during the first half of fiscal year 2001, the amount and
timing depending in large part on our spending program. If additional funds are
raised through the issuance of equity securities, the Company's stockholders may
experience significant dilution. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that
additional financing will be available when needed or that if available, such
financing will include terms favorable to our stockholders or the Company. If
such financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable
terms, the Company may be unable to pay its debts in a timely manner, to develop
or enhance its operating businesses, take advantage of business opportunities or
respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. The
Company also could breach payment obligations to third parties or otherwise fail
to satisfy business obligations of the Company.
Absence of Dividends
The Company has never declared or paid, nor does it intend to pay in the
foreseeable future, cash dividends on its Common Stock, but intends instead to
retain any future earnings to finance expansion and operations.
