Restatement of Financial Statements and Changes to Certain Information
This Form 10-Q/A is filed to amend the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2000 (the “Original Form 10-Q”) to restate the Financial Statements (Item 1) and make corresponding changes to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Item 2).

The effects of the restatement are more fully described in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
This report continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q and we have not updated the disclosures in this report to speak to any later date. While this report primarily relates to the historical period covered, events may have taken place since the date of the Original Form 10-Q that might have been reflected in this report if they had taken place prior to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q. All information contained in this report is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Systemax Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
| 1. | Description of Business The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Systemax Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Systemax”). The Company is a corporate supplier of personal computers (PCs), notebook computers, computer related products and industrial products in North America and Europe. Systemax markets these products through an integrated system of distinctively branded full-color direct mail catalogs, proprietary “e-commerce” Internet sites and personalized “relationship marketing” to business customers. |
| 2. | Basis of Presentation Net income per common share - basic was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods presented. Net income per common share – diluted was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and included the equivalent shares for dilutive options outstanding during the respective periods. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Comprehensive income (loss) – Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments and is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. For the three month periods, comprehensive income (loss) was ($4,187,000) in 2000 (as restated) and $9,146,000 in 1999 net of tax effects on foreign currency translation adjustments of $849,000 in 2000 and $950,000 in 1999. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2000 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The December 31, 1999 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and for the period then ended. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire year. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 101 summarizes certain SEC views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Systemax is currently evaluating the impact of SAB 101 on the Company’s results of operations and financial position. |
| 3. | Segment Information The Company is engaged in a single reportable segment, the marketing and sales of various business products. Financial information relating to the Company's operations by geographic area was as follows: |

| 4. | Restatement Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements in its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company discovered accounting irregularities at a subsidiary company related principally to inventory and sales returns. These irregularities had the effect of overstating certain asset values as of March 31, 2000 and overstating income for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The restatement does not affect previously reported net cash flows for the period or future periods. As a result, the accompanying financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2000 have been restated from the amounts previously reported to properly reflect these items. A summary of the effects of the restatement is as follows (in thousands, except per share data): |

| Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased 6% to $449 million compared to $422 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase of $27 million resulted from quarterly record sales in the Company’s European operations and an increase in PC sales. The number of orders shipped increased 8% to 1.2 million compared to the year-ago quarter, with an average order value unchanged from the prior year. Sales during the quarter from North American operations decreased 3% to $295 million compared to $304 million in the first quarter of 1999. European sales increased 31% to $154 million compared to $118 million in the year-ago quarter. The effect of changes in exchange rates on European sales for the three months was not material. Gross profit was $68.2 million, or 15.2% of sales, compared to $79.3 million, or 18.8% of sales in the year-ago quarter, a decrease of $11.1 million. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily due to higher returns and losses on liquidation of excess inventory in the Company’s PC assembly operation and the continuing trend of increased sales of PCs and brand name products, which generally have a lower gross profit percentage than our other products. Increased relationship marketing sales and a relatively lower sales contribution from higher-margin industrial products continue to affect the gross profit percentage unfavorably. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased by $9.4 million or 15% to $71.5 million compared to $62.1 million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase resulted from continued expansion of our relationship marketing sales organizations, investments in the Company’s “e-commerce” Internet business and increased advertising costs. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.9% compared to 14.7% in the year-ago quarter. The Company incurred a loss from operations for the quarter of $3.3 million compared to an operating profit of $17.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The Company’s North American operations incurred an operating loss in the current quarter compared to an operating profit last year. Operating income in Europe increased to $6.2 million from $4.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Interest and other income decreased as a result of higher interest expense in the current year due to increased borrowings and less interest income from lower invested cash balances. Income taxes consist of foreign income taxes paid or payable reduced by an income tax benefit for U. S. operating loss carrybacks. As a result of the above, net loss for the quarter was $2.6 million, or $.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $10.8 million, or $.30 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s primary capital needs are to finance working capital for sales growth, investments in property, equipment and information technology and business acquisitions. Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $8 million at March 31, 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company used cash in operating activities of $4.4 million compared to $13.4 million generated in the year ago period. The decrease resulted from the net loss in 2000 and increased accounts receivable as a result of the increased sales volume. These were partially offset by a decrease in inventories. Cash was used in investing activities in 2000 for the purchase of capital equipment, including a new distribution center in Georgia. Cash was used in financing activities for the purchase of additional treasury shares and repayment of long-term debt. The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the repurchase of up to 6,350,000 shares of common stock. Through March 31, 2000, the Company has purchased 3,944,000 shares, of which 949,800 were purchased in the first quarter of 2000. Cash outlays were financed by additional short-term borrowings from banks. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $9.2 million. The Company believes it has access to adequate funds for growth through its available cash balances and funds generated by operations and secured and unsecured lines of credit maintained with financial institutions. Forward Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
