Please note the following in reviewing the above data:

- On March 30, 1998, we completed a spin-off distribution of a subsidiary,
UGO Networks, Inc., formerly ActionWorld, Inc., reducing our majority
ownership of UGO Networks to a minority interest of approximately 18%.
Since March 30, 1998,
4

S-1/A 12th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 12th

our minority interest in UGO Networks has decreased to approximately 8%
due to private equity financings by UGO Networks. UGO Networks is an
online entertainment information and game company that commenced
operations in 1997. The spin-off was made in order to permit UGO Networks
to build a separate management team that would concentrate on creating an
online entertainment information and game company and to position UGO
Networks to seek private equity financing. UGO Networks has been
presented as a discontinued operation in our consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997. A provision of $627 for
estimated operating losses through the disposal date was recorded at
December 31, 1997. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

- In January 1999, we issued 1,650,000 shares of Series B mandatorily
redeemable preferred stock for an aggregate of $16.5 million in cash.
Upon the closing of this offering, all outstanding shares of our Series A
and Series B mandatorily redeemable preferred stock will automatically
convert into an aggregate of 9,189,999 shares of common stock. For the
year ended December 31, 1998, the pro forma basic and diluted loss per
share reflecting the effects of the conversion would have been $(0.96).

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the following factors and other information in this
prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of
the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects for growth would likely suffer. As a result, the
trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part
of your investment.

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL LOSSES AND WE MAY
NEVER BE PROFITABLE.

We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and we may never
achieve or sustain profitability. We were incorporated in 1995 and have only a
limited operating history. Since inception, we have incurred substantial costs
to develop and market our products, and have incurred net losses. As of March
31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $60.3 million. We expect that our
operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we
continue to develop our products, increase our sales and marketing efforts and
expand our operations.

IF OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT WIDELY ACCEPTED IN THE INTERNET COMMERCE MARKET, OUR
BUSINESS, SALES AND PROFITABILITY WILL SUFFER.

The market for our products is new and rapidly evolving. Consequently, the
demand for products in this market is uncertain. Our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects for growth will be materially
adversely affected if our products are not widely accepted in the Internet
commerce software market. The following factors highlight the uncertainty of
market acceptance of our products:

- the market is characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving
industry standards;

- there is intense competition in the Internet commerce software industry;

- products are relatively expensive and require a large capital commitment
by the client;

- the infrastructure necessary to support increased commerce on the
Internet may not develop;

- consumers and businesses may not adopt electronic commerce; and

- our clients may not be successful in using our products to conduct their
commercial operations online.

Our future growth and success depends on broader acceptance of the Internet
as a medium for commerce. The Internet may not become a viable commercial
marketplace because of consumer concerns regarding reliability, cost, ease of
use and quality of service. In addition, consumer concerns regarding the
security and privacy of Internet transactions could inhibit the acceptance of
the Internet as a commercial medium. We have incorporated into our Commerce
Exchange family of products encryption algorithms to protect sensitive data such
as customer passwords and credit card information. However, we can not assure
you that this technology will not be breached. If the security measures used in
Commerce Exchange are compromised, our business could suffer.

THE IMPOSITION OF SALES AND OTHER TAXES IN RESPECT OF PRODUCTS SOLD BY OUR
CLIENTS OVER THE INTERNET COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON ELECTRONIC COMMERCE
GENERALLY AND, AS A RESULT, ON DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS.

Recent federal legislation limits the imposition of state and local taxes
on Internet-related sales. In 1998, Congress passed the Internet Tax Freedom
Act, which places a three-year moratorium on state and local taxes on

(1) Internet access, unless such tax was already imposed prior to October
1, 1998, and

(2) discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce.

There is a possibility that Congress may not renew this legislation in 2001. If
Congress chooses not to renew this legislation, state and local governments
would be free to impose taxes on electronically purchased goods. The imposition
of new sales or other taxes could materially adversely affect the growth of
electronic commerce generally and, as a result, on the demand for our products.

We believe that, in accordance with current industry practice, most
companies that sell products over the Internet do not currently collect sales or
other taxes in respect of shipments of their products into states or foreign
countries in which they are not physically present. However, one or more states
or foreign countries may seek to impose sales or other tax collection obligation
on out-of-jurisdiction companies that engage in electronic commerce. A
successful assertion by one or more states or foreign countries that companies
engaged in electronic commerce should collect sales or other taxes on the sale
of their products over the Internet, even though not physically present in the
state or foreign country, could have an adverse effect on electronic commerce
generally, and, as a result, on demand for our products.

ALL OF OUR REVENUES ARE DERIVED FROM A SINGLE FAMILY OF PRODUCTS, AND OUR
BUSINESS, SALES AND PROFITABILITY AND PROSPECTS FOR GROWTH WILL SUFFER IF OUR
PRODUCT OFFERINGS ARE NOT COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL.

The Commerce Exchange family of products and related services have
accounted for substantially all of our revenues to date, and we expect these
products and related services to continue to account for most of our revenues
for the foreseeable future. If our current limited product offerings are not
commercially successful, our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects for growth will be materially adversely affected. We
may not successfully develop or market any enhanced or new products. Moreover,
competition or technological change could adversely affect the pricing of or
demand for our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, as of
March 31, 1999, a majority of our clients were in the implementation phase of
deploying our software. As a result, our products are currently being used by
only a limited number of clients to conduct electronic commerce. From time to
time, some of our clients experience difficulty implementing our software or the
software does not meet our clients' expectations, and they may chose not to, and
in at least one case have chosen not to, continue to use our software. As a
result of these problems, our reputation may be damaged, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business.

S-1/A 15th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 15th

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR SALES AND
PROFITABILITY.

There is intense competition in the Internet commerce software industry,
and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects for growth will be materially
adversely affected if we are not able to compete successfully. We compete
against the in-house development efforts of companies engaging in Internet
commerce, as well as other software application vendors and developers. Our
current competitors include Art Technology Group, BroadVision, Inc.,
CommerceOne, Inc., IBM, Intershop Communications, Inc., Microsoft Corporation,
Netscape Communications Corporation, Open Market Inc., Oracle Corporation and
Pandesic LLC. We expect that additional competitors will enter our market with
competing products as the size and visibility of the market opportunity
increases. Many of our present and potential competitors have greater financial,
technical, marketing and other resources than we have. This may place us at a
disadvantage in responding to the offerings of our competitors, technological
changes or changes in client requirements. Also, we may be at a competitive
disadvantage because many of our competitors have greater name recognition, more
extensive client bases and a broader range of product offerings.

IF OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS DO NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS AS A RESULT OF FLUCTUATIONS IN
OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS, OUR STOCK PRICE IS LIKELY TO DECLINE.

Our quarterly operating results will generally depend on the volume and
timing of sales of our products, which are difficult to predict. It is likely
that in some future quarter or quarters our operating results will not meet the
expectations of analysts and investors. In that case, the price of our common
stock is likely to decline.

We expect to experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due
to many factors, including:

- the size and timing of significant client agreements, which typically
occur near the end of our fiscal quarter, but, if delayed, may not occur
until the next quarter;

- the length of the sales cycle for our products;

- fluctuations in demand for our products;

- the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

- changes in prices by us or our competition; and

- the timing and amount of our expenditures.

We plan to increase our operating expenses to achieve revenue growth. If
our revenues do not increase as anticipated and our spending levels are not
reduced accordingly, a significant decline in our quarterly operating results
could occur. In addition, we believe, based on general software industry trends,
that sales of our products may be highest in the fourth quarter of the year and
lowest in the first quarter. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our
results of operations may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on them as
an indication of future performance.

THE YEAR 2000 PROJECTS OF OUR TARGET CLIENTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT DEMAND FOR OUR
PRODUCTS IN 1999 AND 2000.

We believe that year 2000 issues may affect purchasing patterns of our
clients and potential clients. Many companies are expending significant
resources to upgrade their current software systems to year 2000 functionality.
These expenditures may reduce funds

S-1/A 16th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 16th

available to purchase software products and related services, including those
offered by us. In addition, year 2000 issues could cause a significant number of
companies, including our clients, to reevaluate their current software
application solutions needs, and in connection with the reevaluation, select
other solutions. If, as a result, companies determine not to purchase our
software products and related services, our business, results of operations,
financial condition and prospects for growth would be materially adversely
affected.

WE INCREASINGLY RELY ON SYSTEMS INTEGRATION COMPANIES TO SELL AND IMPLEMENT OUR
PRODUCTS, AND IF WE CANNOT ESTABLISH OR MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE
COMPANIES, OR IF THEY ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR EFFORTS, THE GROWTH OF OUR
BUSINESS WOULD SUFFER.

We increasingly depend on systems integration companies for sales and
implementation of our products. Our growth will depend, in part, on maintaining
and expanding our relationships with systems integration companies. We may not
be able to develop or maintain relationships with systems integration companies.
Moreover, if the systems integration companies with which we have a strategic
relationship are not successful in selling and implementing systems that include
our products, or if they adopt, or promote more vigorously, a competing product
or technology, the growth of our business would be materially adversely
affected.

IF WE DO NOT RESPOND TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, OUR ENTERPRISE COMMERCE SOFTWARE
PRODUCTS MAY BECOME OBSOLETE, AND OUR LONG-TERM VIABILITY WOULD SUFFER.

The Internet commerce software industry is characterized by rapid
technological change, which can render products obsolete. Our success depends,
in part, on our ability to respond to technological change in a timely and
cost-effective manner. If we are not able to successfully respond to
technological change, our Commerce Exchange family of products may become
obsolete. This would threaten our long-term viability.

OUR PRODUCTS MAY CONTAIN DEFECTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN REDUCED SALES, INCREASED
SERVICE AND WARRANTY COSTS AND LIABILITY TO OUR CLIENTS.

Our software products may contain errors that become apparent when the
products are introduced or when the volume of usage increases. Errors in our
products, implementation errors or other performance difficulties could result
in decreased sales of our products, increased service and warranty costs and
liability to our clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth.
Although we carry errors and omissions insurance, it may not cover all product
liability claims made against us. Our risk of liability to clients is
particularly pronounced because of our belief that our products will be critical
to our clients' operations.

BECAUSE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUES IS DERIVED FROM A LIMITED NUMBER
OF CLIENTS THAT WILL CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR, OUR SALES WILL DECLINE IF WE
CANNOT ATTRACT SIGNIFICANT NEW CLIENTS.

We expect that our largest clients will change from year to year because
our revenues from any client are typically greatest when the client first
licenses our products. Moreover, because our products require a meaningful
capital commitment, a significant portion of our revenues in any period is
derived from a limited number of clients. Therefore, if we are not able to
generate revenues from significant new clients, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects for growth would be materially
adversely affected. In 1996, software license and service revenues from
Scholastic Corporation accounted for

S-1/A 17th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 17th

approximately 31% of our total revenues and from Cliggot Communications Inc.
accounted for approximately 17% of total revenues. In 1997, software license and
service revenues from Toys "R" Us, Inc. accounted for approximately 11% of total
revenues and from Electronic Data Systems Corporation accounted for
approximately 10% of total revenues. In 1998, software license and service
revenues from Warnaco Inc. accounted for approximately 14% of total revenues. In
the quarter ended March 31, 1999, software license and service revenues from
Guess? Inc. accounted for approximately 27% of total revenues and from Boo.com
accounted for approximately 15% of total revenues.

IF WE FAIL TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER.

We have grown rapidly since we were incorporated in 1995. Many members of
our senior management have only recently joined us. Of the six employees listed
in the management section of this prospectus, four have worked for us for less
than two years. Our rapid growth has placed, and is expected to continue to
place, a significant strain on our management and operations. To manage our
growth, we must continue to enhance our operating and financial systems,
infrastructure and controls. In the past, we have experienced some inadequacies
in our operating and financial systems, infrastructure and controls. In prior
years, we were not able to improve internal controls and upgrade our personnel
as needed to accommodate our growth. This resulted in errors in application of
our accounting policies which affected some information contained in our
financial statements for unaudited interim periods in our last fiscal year.
These errors were corrected following the hiring of experienced personnel,
consultation with our independent accountants and enhancement of internal
controls. Our growth will also depend on our ability to expand, train and manage
our employee base. In addition, we must expand our sales and marketing
organization, penetrate different markets and expand our capacity to support a
larger client base. If we do not manage our growth successfully, our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth would be
adversely affected.

OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS MAY NOT BE FULLY PROTECTED, AND WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS BY OTHERS.

InterWorld(R) and Process-Centric(TM) are our registered trademarks and we
have applied for other trade and service marks. Our efforts to establish and
protect our proprietary rights, including federal copyright and trademark
registrations, may be inadequate to prevent imitation of our products by others.
The laws of foreign countries in which our products are sold may offer less
protection to proprietary rights than the laws of the United States. Moreover,
others may claim violation of their proprietary rights by us. BroadVision, Inc.
and Open Market Inc., two of our competitors, have been issued U.S. patents on
some aspects of their electronic commerce software products. In August 1998, we
received a letter from counsel to Open Market concerning the potential
applicability of the Open Market patents to our products. The letter stated that
Open Market was prepared to meet with us to resolve issues concerning the
applicability of their patents and to discuss terms of an appropriate license
agreement. In early September 1998, we responded to the Open Market inquiry,
informing Open Market that based on our review of the Open Market patents and
the analysis and advice of our patent counsel, we believe that the technology
used in our products is sufficiently independent and does not infringe on the
patents awarded to Open Market. We have not received any further inquiries or
correspondence from Open Market since that time and have had no inquiries or
discussions with BroadVision with regard to patent matters. Although we do not
believe that we are infringing their patent rights, either of those companies
may claim that we are doing so. If

S-1/A 18th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 18th

a claim of patent infringement by these or other companies was made against
us,we would likely incur significant expenses in defending against the claim,
which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, if a claim of infringement is made against us and we are not
successful in defending against the claim, we could be liable for substantial
damages. We may also be required to make royalty payments, which could be
substantial, to the holder of the patent rights. These events could have a
material adverse effect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects for growth.

IF OUR PLANNED INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, OUR LONG-TERM GROWTH
COULD BE JEOPARDIZED.

International expansion is a component of our strategy. We may not be
successful in expanding our activities in international markets. Even if we are
successful in penetrating international markets, we will confront additional
technological challenges in keeping our international product offerings current
and conforming them to commercial standards in various countries. In addition,
there are risks in doing business in international markets, including:

- changes in laws and regulations;

- export controls on encryption technology and other export restrictions;

- tariffs and other trade barriers;

- difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

- political and economic instability; and

- fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Our success in expanding our international operations will be dependent, in
part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks.
Our failure or inability to anticipate or manage these risks could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects for growth.

WE WOULD LOSE REVENUES AND INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS IF OUR SYSTEMS OR MATERIAL
THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS ARE NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT.

We have not yet devised a year 2000 contingency plan. Although we believe
that each of our critical systems is year 2000 compliant, we have not yet
determined whether all of the systems of our suppliers are year 2000 compliant.
In addition, we have not undertaken, and do not intend to undertake, any
investigation regarding the year 2000 readiness of our clients. Therefore, we do
not know whether our clients' existing business systems which they may attempt
to integrate with our products are year 2000 compliant. Accordingly, we are
unable to predict the extent to which the year 2000 issue will affect our
suppliers or clients, or the extent to which we would be vulnerable to their
failure to remediate any year 2000 issues on a timely basis. The failure of our
internal systems or any material third-party systems to be year 2000 compliant
would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and prospects for growth. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Year 2000
Compliance."

S-1/A 19th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 19th

IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHEN NEEDED, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO
RESPOND TO COMPETITIVE PRESSURES OR UNANTICIPATED REQUIREMENTS.

We may need additional financing to support more rapid growth than
currently anticipated or to respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated
requirements. Additional financing, if needed, may not be available on
satisfactory terms or at all. If additional funds are not available on
acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our growth, develop or enhance our
products and services, respond to competitive pressures or take advantage of
acquisition opportunities. Any additional equity financing may cause investors
to experience dilution in their ownership interest, and the newly issued
securities may have rights superior to those of the common stock. Any debt
financing may result in limitations on our operations, including restrictions on
our spending or payment of dividends. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN OR REPLACE OUR KEY PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL
CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS FOR GROWTH COULD SUFFER.

We believe that our ability to successfully implement our business strategy
and to operate profitably depends on the continued employment of our executive
management team. We do not carry key-person insurance on any member of our
executive management team. Since January 1998, four executive officers have
resigned from their positions with us. If one or more members of our management
team become unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions and if
additional key personnel cannot be hired as needed, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects for growth could be materially
adversely affected.

BECAUSE OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OWN A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK, THEY WILL EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER US.

Following this offering, our executive officers and directors will
beneficially own approximately 30.5% of the outstanding common stock, or
approximately 30.0% if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in
full. Accordingly, if they act together, they will be able to exercise
significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the election of directors and approval of significant corporate actions such as
mergers and other business combination transactions. This concentration of
ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control
over us unless it is supported by our executive officers and directors.

IF OUR STOCKHOLDERS SELL SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC
MARKET FOLLOWING THIS OFFERING, THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD
DECLINE.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of
a large number of shares in the market after this offering, or the perception
that sales of a large number of shares could occur. These factors also could
make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common
stock.

There will be 26,348,482 shares of common stock outstanding immediately
after this offering. Of these shares, the 3,000,000 shares sold in this offering
will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, except for any shares purchased by our affiliates,
as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining 23,348,482 shares
outstanding will be restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144. These shares
may be sold in the future without registration under the

S-1/A 20th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 20th

Securities Act to the extent permitted under Rule 144 or an exemption under the
Securities Act. Holders of 9,189,999 shares of common stock outstanding
immediately after this offering will also have registration rights enabling them
to cause us to register their shares for sale under the Securities Act. After
this offering, we will have 5,941,517 shares of common stock reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of stock options, of which 4,569,734 shares are
subject to currently outstanding options. Following this offering, we intend to
file a registration statement on Form S-8 to register these shares.

SINCE OUR COMMON STOCK HAS NEVER BEEN PUBLICLY TRADED, WE CANNOT PREDICT THE
EXTENT TO WHICH A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK WILL DEVELOP, OR WHETHER
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR COMMON STOCK.

There has not been a public market for our common stock. We do not know the
extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of a
trading market or how liquid that market might be. The initial public offering
price for the shares of common stock has been determined through negotiations
between us and the underwriter of this offering and may not be indicative of
prices that will prevail in any trading market that develops. You may not be
able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price and you
may suffer a loss on your investment.

BECAUSE WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO SPECIFY THE SPECIFIC USES TO WHICH THE NET
PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING WILL BE APPLIED, YOU WILL BE RELYING ON THE JUDGMENT
OF OUR MANAGEMENT REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE PROCEEDS.

We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital
and general corporate purposes, but we are unable to identify the specific uses
to which the net proceeds will be applied. Accordingly, our management will have
broad discretion with respect to the expenditure of the proceeds. Although we
have included estimates of expenditures for some specified uses under "Use of
Proceeds," actual expenditures for research and development, sales and
marketing, international expansion, capital expenditures and other purposes will
depend on market and other conditions existing in the future. You will be
relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the
proceeds. Our management will have the ability to change the application of the
proceeds of this offering without stockholder approval.

PURCHASERS OF SHARES IN THIS OFFERING WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL
DILUTION.

The initial public offering price per share will significantly exceed the
net tangible book value per share. Accordingly, you will experience immediate
and substantial dilution in your investment.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements made in this prospectus under the captions "Prospectus
Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" and elsewhere in this
prospectus are "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, statements about the market opportunity for Internet
commerce software solutions, new product development, competition, expected
expense levels, seasonality and the adequacy of our available cash resources and
other statements contained in this prospectus that are not historical facts.
When used in this prospectus, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect" and "may" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive expressions of
forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements, including but not limited to:

- changes in general economic and business conditions;

- actions of competitors;

- our inability to recover our costs in sales of our products and services;

- the extent to which we are able to develop and market new and improved
products;

- product defects;

- changes in our business strategies; and

- the other factors discussed under "Risk Factors."

S-1/A 22nd Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 22nd

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from the sale of shares in
this offering of approximately $40.9 million, assuming an initial public
offering price of $15.00 and after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated expenses of $1.0 million payable by us. We estimate
that we will receive additional net proceeds of up to $6.3 million if the
underwriter exercises the option granted to it in connection with this offering
to purchase additional shares from us to cover over-allotments. We expect to use
the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including
research and development (approximately $12.5 million), sales and marketing
(approximately $19.5 million), international expansion (approximately $4.0
million) and capital expenditures (approximately $2.0 million). The actual
amounts expended for these purposes may vary from our current expectations and
will be determined by our management. Our future capital expenditures and the
allocation of the net proceeds of this offering will depend on many factors,
including:

- the rate of market acceptance of our products;

- our ability to expand and maintain our client base;

- the level of resources required to expand our marketing and sales
efforts; and

- research and development activities.

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to fund possible acquisitions
of businesses and technologies that are complementary to ours and which our
board of directors decides to pursue based on circumstances existing at that
time and the board's determination to use net proceeds for an acquisition rather
than for one or more of the specific purposes referred to above. We will
consider acquisitions of businesses or technologies that can provide us with
technologically compatible products, including, for example, tools and business
adapters, that would extend or improve our enterprise commerce software
solution. We currently have no agreements, and are not engaged in any
negotiations, with respect to any acquisitions, and we have not established any
minimum financial benchmarks (for example, return on assets or return on
investment) that would need to be satisfied before undertaking an acquisition.
Pending use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in
short-term, investment-grade securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock. We
currently intend to retain all future earnings to fund the development and
growth of our business. Therefore, we do not currently anticipate paying any
cash dividends. Future decisions regarding cash dividends on the common stock
will be made by our board of directors and will depend on our results of
operations, financial position, capital requirements, general business
conditions, restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, if any, legal and
regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors the board
of directors deems relevant.

DILUTION

As of March 31, 1999, we had a pro forma net tangible book value of
approximately $0.49 per share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share
represents our net tangible assets, or total assets less liabilities and
intangible assets, divided by the total number of shares outstanding before this
offering after giving effect to the automatic conversion of all outstanding
shares of our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock into common stock upon the
closing of this offering. Without taking into account any changes in pro forma
net tangible book value after March 31, 1999, other than to give effect to this
offering assuming an initial public offering price of $15.00 per share and after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable
by us, the pro forma net tangible book value of the common stock as of March 31,
1999 would have been approximately $1.99 per share. The following table shows
the effect of this offering as if it had occurred at March 31, 1999 and
illustrates the immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.50 per share
to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $13.01 per share to new
investors:

The calculation of pro forma net tangible book value per share assumes that
no options or warrants outstanding as of the date of this prospectus will be
exercised. The following is a summary of these additional shares of common
stock:

- 534,070 shares of common stock reserved for issuance at March 31, 1999
under outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $6.98
per share.

If our outstanding options and warrants were exercised, new investors in this
offering would suffer additional dilution.

consideration and the average price per share paid or to be paid by our existing
stockholders,

Please note the following in reviewing the data presented above:

- On March 30, 1998, we completed a spin-off distribution of a subsidiary,
UGO Networks, reducing our majority ownership of UGO Networks to a
minority interest of approximately 18%. Since March 30, 1998, our
minority interest in UGO Networks has decreased to approximately 8% due
to private equity financings by UGO Networks. UGO Networks is an online
entertainment information and game company that commenced operations in
1997. The spin-off was made in order to permit UGO Networks to build a
separate management team that would concentrate on creating an online
entertainment information and game company and to position UGO Networks
to seek private equity financing. UGO Networks has been presented as a
discontinued operation in our consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1997. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

We derive revenues primarily from licensing our Internet commerce software
products and providing related services and support to our clients. We
commercially introduced our first product in December 1995.

We generally price licenses of our platform and applications on a per
server or site basis. Standard per server license fees for the Windows NT
solutions are $150,000 and for Unix solutions are $250,000. The recommended
production configuration that supports redundancy, fault-tolerance and
distributed load balancing across multiple processors is generally available for
a license fee of approximately $300,000 to $500,000. Licenses for product
configurations that support additional servers and users are available.
Additional applications, tools, business adapters, professional services and
maintenance services are provided at an additional cost to the client. Site
licenses are also available. Site licenses typically require the client to pay
additional fees based on the client's achieving specified electronic commerce
revenues. Payment terms are generally net 30 days. However, from time to time in
order to induce clients to license our products, we have extended payment terms
to up to one year.

Revenue from client product licenses is recognized upon shipment to the
client under an executed software license agreement when no significant
obligations or contractual commitments remain and collection is probable. If
acceptance by the client is required, revenue is recognized upon client
acceptance. License revenue from resellers of our products is recognized upon
shipment by the reseller when collection is probable.

Revenue from services is recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue
from services requiring significant modification or customization of our
software products is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis. Revenue
from maintenance and client support services is recognized ratably over the term
of the agreement for such services. Our license agreements typically require the
client to purchase one year of maintenance and client support services.

Currently, our cost of services revenues exceeds our services revenues. We
anticipate that services margins may improve in the future, but there can be no
assurance that such improvement will occur. Since we increasingly depend on
systems integration companies for implementation of our products, our service
revenues may decrease as a percentage of our aggregate revenues.

We have incurred significant research and development expenses to develop
our products. We charge all research and development costs incurred to establish
the technological feasibility of a product or product enhancement to research
and development expense as incurred. In addition, we have made substantial
investments in our infrastructure to support revenue growth. We intend to
increase our staffing in all functional areas as required to accommodate any
revenue growth.

The consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus were
prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. See Note 2 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

====== ====== ====== ====== ======

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998

Total Revenues, Net. Total revenues, net include fees from product
licenses and services. Our total revenues, net increased from $2.4 million in
1996 to $8.1 million in 1997 and to $14.6 million in 1998. These increases
resulted primarily from increased licenses of our software products at a higher
average fee per client and, to a lesser extent, from the provision of services
to a larger client base. We expect that our target clients' Year 2000 projects
may adversely affect demand for our products in 1999 and 2000.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of product license revenues consists of royalties
payable to third parties for software that is embedded in or bundled with our
products, the costs of product media, documentation and manufacturing costs.
Cost of services revenues consists primarily of costs related to employees and
consultants providing services and support. Total cost of revenues decreased
from $7.1 million in 1997 to $6.7 million in 1998. Total cost of revenues
increased from $2.1 million in 1996 to $7.1 million in 1997. In 1997,
particularly during the earlier part of the year, we hired outside consultants
to supplement our professional services organization and to provide services and
support to our expanding client base, and also hired additional employees.
During the course of 1998, we continued

S-1/A 30th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 30th

to hire additional personnel, which reduced our reliance on outside consultants,
and instituted implementation methodologies that resulted in shorter
implementation cycles. The implementation methodologies involve providing our
customers with a checklist that sets forth the steps, timing and procedures to
more effectively enable them to implement our Commerce Exchange family of
products. These measures, combined with the introduction of enhanced versions of
Commerce Exchange, reduced our cost of revenues as a percentage of total
revenues. As a result, cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues
decreased from 88.5% for 1997 to 46.1% for 1998.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist of
costs related to research and development personnel, including salaries and
related expenses and consulting fees, and costs related to facilities and
equipment used in research and development. Research and development expenses
increased 39.3%, from $6.9 million in 1997 to $9.6 million in 1998. Research and
development expenses increased from $2.4 million in 1996 to $6.9 million in
1997. These increases were principally due to the addition of personnel to
support the design and development of our products. We expect to continue to
incur significant research and development expenses in future periods.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries and
related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions and other
incentive compensation, travel and entertainment expenses and the costs of
marketing programs, including trade shows, promotional materials and
advertising. Sales and marketing expenses increased 41%, from $8.5 million 1997
to $12.0 million in 1998. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $2.4
million in 1996 to $8.5 million in 1997. These increases were due primarily to
the expansion of our sales and marketing organization and expanded marketing
activities, including advertising designed to increase awareness of our brand.
We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing expenses in
future periods.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of
salaries and related expenses for administrative, finance and human resources
personnel and related facilities and equipment costs. General and administrative
expenses increased from $2.7 million in 1996 to $6.4 million in 1997 and 1998.
This increase reflected the additional administrative infrastructure necessary
to manage and support our growth. In addition, general and administrative
expenses for 1998 included approximately $0.5 million relating to an aborted
initial public offering.

Noncash Employee Compensation. Noncash employee compensation consists of
noncash charges for stock options granted to employees at exercise prices deemed
below the fair market value of our common stock at the time of grant. The amount
of the charge is equal to the difference between the exercise price of the stock
option and the deemed fair market value of our common stock multiplied by the
number of options granted. The charge is amortized over the vesting period of
the options (typically, five years). We recorded noncash employee compensation
of $1.6 million in 1998, $0.8 million in 1997 and $0.1 million in 1996.

Total Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) consists primarily of
interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, net of cash and noncash
interest expense for leased equipment. Our total other income (expense) was $0.1
million in 1996, $(0.1) million in 1997 and $(0.4) million in 1998.

Income Taxes. We have incurred losses since inception which have generated
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39.2 million at December 31,
1998 and $43.3 million at March 31, 1999 for federal and state income tax
purposes. These

S-1/A 31st Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 31st

carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income and expire in 2011
through 2019 for federal income tax purposes. We also had research and
development tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $1.4 million at December
31, 1998, and $1.8 million at March 31, 1999 which expire in 2002 through 2019.
These losses and credits may be subject to significant limitations on
utilization in future years because of ownership changes that have occurred. We
have historically filed our corporate income tax returns utilizing a fiscal year
end of March 31, which we changed to December 31, effective December 31, 1998.
See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income
tax purposes result in a net deferred tax benefit of $21.8 million at December
31, 1998 and $24.5 million at March 31, 1999. Our operating plans anticipate
taxable income in future periods; however, such plans make significant
assumptions which cannot be assured, including market acceptance of our products
by clients. Therefore, in consideration of our accumulated losses and the
uncertainty of our ability to utilize this deferred tax benefit in the future,
we have recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $21.8 million at
December 31, 1998 and $24.5 million at March 31, 1999 to offset the deferred tax
benefit amount.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1999

Total Revenues, Net. Total revenues, net for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 were $7.0 million, an increase of $4.6 million over total revenues, net for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 of $2.4 million. This increase is attributable
to our licensing more software products at higher average fees, as well as our
providing services to a larger client base.

Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues increased from $1.2 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1999, an increase of $1.8 million. Total cost of revenue as a percent of total
revenues decreased from 49.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to 42.4% for
the same period in 1999. This decrease is due primarily to increased
productivity of our services personnel.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $1.6
million, or 80%, from $2.0 million in the first quarter of 1998 to $3.6 million
in the first quarter of 1999. This increase was due principally to the addition
of personnel to support the design and development of our products.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $2.1
million in the first quarter of 1998 to $5.0 million in the first quarter of
1999, an increase of $2.9 million. These increases were due primarily to the
expansion of our sales and marketing organizations, higher commissions generally
reflecting increased revenues and expanded marketing activities.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased
from $1.4 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1999, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to lower legal and royalty
expenses and reductions in provisions for bad debt.

Noncash Compensation. Noncash employee compensation increased from $0.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to $1.1 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, primarily due to the January 1999 grant of 1,604,567
options to employees at a discount to deemed fair market value. We estimate that
we will recognize approximately $10.9 million of noncash employee compensation
expense in future periods through January 2004, including approximately $2.1
million during the remainder of 1999.

S-1/A 32nd Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 32nd

During the first quarter of 1999, we also recognized $0.4 million of
non-cash compensation expense related to stock options granted to two
consultants at a discount to deemed fair market value. Of this amount,
approximately $0.2 million was reflected in cost of sales and approximately $0.2
million was reflected in general and administrative expense. Based on the
performance of one of these consultants as determined by our chief executive
officer, we could recognize up to approximately $0.5 million of additional non-
cash compensation expense in future periods related to options granted to the
consultant.

Total Other Income (Expense). Other expense increased by approximately
$0.2 million. This increase is largely attributable to interest expense on
amounts outstanding under our secured loan agreement for a portion of the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Our quarterly operating results will generally depend on the volume and
timing of sales of our products, which are difficult to predict. We plan to
increase our operating expenses to achieve revenue growth. If our revenues do
not increase as anticipated and our spending levels are not reduced accordingly,
a significant decline in quarterly operating results could occur. We expect to
experience fluctuations in quarterly operating results due to many factors,
including:

- the size and timing of significant client agreements, which typically
occur near the end of our fiscal quarter, but, if delayed, may not occur
until the next quarter;

- the length of the sales cycle for our products;

- fluctuations in demand for our products;

- the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

- changes in prices by us or our competition; and

- the timing and amount of expenditures by us.

In addition, we believe, based on general software industry trends, that sales
of our products will typically be highest in the fourth quarter of the year and
lowest in the first quarter. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our
results of operations may not be meaningful, and should not be relied on as an
indication of future performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private
sales of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, which have raised approximately
$64.5 million. At March 31, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.1
million and working capital of $5.3 million.

We have had significant negative cash flows from operating activities to
date. Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal years 1997 and 1998 and
the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $22.2, $16.6 and $4.6 million,
respectively. Net cash used in operating activities in each of these periods was
primarily the result of expenditures for product development, sales and
marketing and infrastructure as well as the provision of extended payment terms
to clients. For the year ended December 31, 1998, our net accounts receivable
increased $2.0 million, from $4.2 million to $6.2 million. This increase was
primarily attributable to the significant increase in sales, particularly
several large sales in December 1998. The $4.4 million decrease in working
capital during the year ended December 31, 1998 was largely attributable to the
$5.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $2.3 million increase
in accounts payable and accrued expenses, only partially offset by the increase
in accounts receivable. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and working
capital at March 31, 1999 was largely the result of the January 1999 issuance of
1,650,000 share of Series B manditorily redeemable preferred stock for an
aggregate of $16.5 million in cash.

Net cash used in investing activities consists primarily of capital
expenditures for computer equipment, purchased software, office equipment,
furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements. Capital expenditures for
property and equipment for 1998 aggregated $1.9 million, primarily for computer
equipment. As of December 31, 1998, we also had commitments under noncancelable
operating leases of $8.6 million and under noncancelable capital leases of $2.1
million. In June 1999 the Company leased additional space in its existing
facility. See "Business -- Properties."

S-1/A 35th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 35th

Effective as of May 1998, we amended our secured loan agreement with
Comdisco, Inc., one of our stockholders that holds warrants to purchase our
common stock, under which our maximum borrowings were increased to $11.0
million. Outstanding amounts under the loan agreement accrue interest, which is
payable monthly, at a rate of 10% per annum and is secured by our accounts
receivable. We may borrow amounts under the loan agreement for a period of
twelve months subsequent to our initial borrowing under the loan agreement
(which occurred in October 1998) or until completion of this offering. The loan
principal is due and payable at the later of 15 months from the initial
borrowing or 21 months from the date of the agreement. Although we have borrowed
under the loan agreement in the past, as of the date of this prospectus, we have
no outstanding borrowings under the loan agreement. See "Certain Transactions."

During the year ended December 31, 1998, less than 10% of our revenues were
generated by our foreign sales offices. At December 31, 1998, less than 6% of
gross receivables were denominated in foreign currencies. We do not engage in
any hedging activities although we may consider engaging in hedging activities
if increasing amounts of receivables are denominated in foreign currency.

We believe that our available cash resources, including the net proceeds
from this offering, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements
for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need additional financing
to support more rapid growth or to respond to competitive pressures or
unanticipated requirements. Additional financing, if needed, may not be
available on satisfactory terms or at all.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 30, 1998, we completed a spin-off distribution of our subsidiary,
UGO Networks, reducing our majority ownership of UGO Networks to a minority
interest of approximately 18%. Since March 30, 1998, our minority interest in
UGO Networks has decreased to approximately 8% due to private equity financings
by UGO Networks. UGO Networks is an entertainment information and game company
that commenced operations in 1997. We have presented UGO Networks as a
discontinued operation in our consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997. We have not guaranteed and are not contingently liable
for any obligations of UGO Networks. During 1997, UGO Networks had no revenues
and incurred net losses of $1.3 million. A provision of $627 for estimated
operating losses of UGO Networks through the disposal date was recorded at
December 31, 1997. The basic loss per share and diluted loss per share for the
year ended December 31, 1997 attributable to discontinuance of the operations of
UGO Networks was approximately $0.14 per share. See Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. In other words,
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar business activities. We are
exposed to the risk that the systems on which we are dependent to conduct our
operations are not year 2000 compliant.

State of Readiness. We assembled an internal task force in June 1998 to
evaluate the impact, if any, of year 2000 issues and implement appropriate steps
to ensure

S-1/A 36th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 36th

year 2000 compliance. The task force commenced a review of our information
technology, or IT, systems and our non-IT systems to identify those systems that
could be materially affected by year 2000 issues. The review focused on the
following categories:

(1) our products,

(2) critical business applications that have been developed internally or
are provided by suppliers and used in our internal business systems,
and

(3) our non-critical business applications that have been developed
internally or are provided by suppliers and used in our internal
business systems.

The review of the first two categories has been completed. Based on this review,
we do not believe that we have material exposure to the year 2000 issue with
respect to our products since our products correctly define the year 2000. We
have also contacted all of our suppliers to assess their year 2000 readiness.
Based on the responses to our questionnaire received from suppliers of critical
externally provided business applications, we do not believe that we have any
material year 2000 exposure. We believe that our critical internal business
systems are either year 2000 compliant, or that the operations preformed by
these systems could be performed manually or mechanically if they fail
electronically. We intend to complete our assessment and the replacement or
remediation of any non-critical business applications by September 30, 1999.

Costs. Based on the current status of our year 2000 program, the total
cost of effecting year 2000 compliance is not expected to exceed $350,000, of
which $250,000 had been incurred through March 31, 1999. These costs were
expensed in the period incurred and were paid out of working capital. However,
we may incur significant costs if unanticipated year 2000 compliance problems
arise. These unanticipated costs, or our failure to correct any unanticipated
year 2000 problems in a timely manner, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for
growth.

Risks. While our products are year 2000 compliant, we have not undertaken,
and do not intend to undertake, any investigation regarding the year 2000
readiness of any of our clients. Accordingly, we do not know whether our
clients' business systems which they may attempt to integrate with our products
are year 2000 compliant. If a client is not able to operate its systems with our
products as a result of year 2000 problems with its systems, we would be
adversely affected. If a major supplier or client fails to convert its systems
on a timely basis or converts in a manner that is incompatible with our systems,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for
growth could be materially adversely affected.

We believe that year 2000 issues may affect purchasing patterns of our
clients and prospective clients. Many companies are expending significant
resources to upgrade their current software systems to year 2000 functionality.
These expenditures may reduce funds available to purchase software products and
related services such as those offered by us. In addition, year 2000 issues
could cause a significant number of companies, including our clients, to
reevaluate their current software application solutions needs, and in connection
with the reevaluation, select other solutions. Any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects for growth.

In addition, there can be no assurance that governmental agencies, utility
companies, banks, Internet access companies, third-party service providers and
others outside our

S-1/A 37th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 37th

control will be year 2000 compliant. The failure by those entities to be year
2000 compliant could result in a systemic failure beyond our control, such as
prolonged Internet, telecommunications or electrical failure, which could
decrease the use of the Internet. Furthermore, retailers and other
business-to-consumer users of our products may be unwilling to continue to
license our products if their customers are unable to use their credit cards to
make electronic purchases because of year 2000 problems affecting banks or other
credit card vendors. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects for
growth.

Contingency Plan. Although we are engaged in an ongoing year 2000
assessment, we have not developed a contingency plan to address the worst-case
scenario that might occur if technologies we are dependent upon are not year
2000 compliant. The completion of our assessment and the remaining responses to
be received from all suppliers will be taken into account in determining the
need for and nature and extent of any contingency plan. We intend to develop any
required contingency plan by September 30, 1999.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 98-9 generally
requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to
be allocated to each element based on the relative vendor specific objective
evidence of the elements. We adopted SOP 98-9 for software transactions entered
into in 1998. The revenue allocated to licensing of software is generally
recognized when a fixed and determinable fee has been contractually established,
the product has been shipped to the client and when collectibility is probable.
The revenue allocated to the postcontract client support portion of a contract
is consistent with fees charged when client support is sold separately on a
renewal basis, and is recognized ratably over the term of the support. Revenue
from professional services, such as custom development, installation and
integration support, is recognized as the services are rendered. The adoption of
SOP 98-9 did not have a material impact on our results of operations.

BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

We provide Internet commerce software solutions that enable manufacturers,
distributors and retailers to conduct business over the Internet. Our products,
which we call "enterprise commerce" software, enable companies to build their
online businesses and integrate them with their existing business practices and
enterprise systems. Commerce Exchange is our family of enterprise commerce
software, consisting of our Commerce Exchange platform, applications, tools and
business adapters. Commerce Exchange enables our clients to address their
principal selling and support processes, including sales, order management,
fulfillment and customer service. Our solution is designed to enable businesses
to:

- increase revenues by extending their sales efforts to include an
Internet-based distribution channel;

- reduce operating expenses by streamlining and automating their selling
and support processes;

- enhance customer loyalty by offering a personalized, online buying
experience; and

- create online processes based on existing and evolving business practices
and integrate information from existing systems with their online
systems.

Our solution can be expanded to meet the demand of large organizations with
complex selling processes, and can handle a large number of simultaneous users,
high transaction rates and large datastores. It also can be fully integrated
into every phase of selling and support processes, from order entry to customer
service. Commerce Exchange enables an organization to integrate its online
business with its existing business systems, including manufacturing, financial,
distribution and customer systems, and business practices. The functionality and
the ease of implementing, maintaining and upgrading our products address what we
believe is a growing desire by businesses to maximize return on investment by
more efficiently using their information systems.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Commerce conducted over the Internet has grown dramatically in recent
years. Forrester Research, Inc., an information technology research firm,
estimates that intercompany trade of hard goods over the Internet will grow from
approximately $43 billion in 1998 to approximately $1.3 trillion in 2003.
Businesses have embraced Internet commerce because it enables them to both
increase revenues and reduce operating expenses by:

- establishing a new distribution channel for products and services;

- enhancing customer relationships by offering increased convenience and
personalization; and

- automating sales, support and customer service processes.

Because of its convenience and widespread accessibility, the Internet
provides businesses greater access to both new and existing customers. On the
Internet, businesses are not limited by geography or store hours as they seek to
reach customers domestically

S-1/A 39th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 39th

and internationally. Many customers now demand the option of purchasing goods
and services online rather than through traditional means including, for
example, stores and catalogs. Customer demand for online services has compelled
companies to respond to both traditional competitors that have extended their
sales efforts to the Internet and new competitors that only offer products and
services online.

Internet commerce also enables businesses to enhance and personalize their
client relationships. Customers can access businesses' Internet sites 24 hours
per day, seven days per week from any Internet-enabled computer in any location.
Businesses can learn more about their customers' preferences by tracking their
product research and purchasing decisions online and tailoring their offerings
to those preferences. The customer information gained can be used by businesses
to serve their customers better not only online, but also through traditional
distribution channels.

Businesses are also embracing Internet commerce because it enables them to
reduce operating expenses by automating many commerce functions. Sales, support
and customer service processes require fewer resources online than in
traditional distribution channels. Businesses can also expand and automate their
relationships with suppliers and fulfillment partners. Businesses can reduce
their facilities, personnel and inventory costs by using the Internet.

In order to extend their operations to the Internet, businesses must
implement reliable information technology solutions to run mission-critical
online business applications without which the enterprise would not be able to
operate an online business. These solutions must meet rigorous performance
requirements and typically operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. They
must be easy to use, while accessing a wide and complex array of databases and
computing platforms. During the initial years of Internet commerce, businesses
typically addressed these requirements by either building a custom solution or
purchasing a low-end system with only basic Internet commerce functionality.

We believe that few businesses have developed custom Internet commerce
solutions on a timely and cost-effective basis. Internet technology and business
requirements are evolving so rapidly that it is difficult for internal
information technology staffs to keep pace. Custom solutions are very expensive
to develop, install and maintain. Low-end systems, while less expensive, often
cannot support high transaction volumes, address complex and changing business
requirements or operate in conjunction with other systems. For these reasons, we
believe that many of these solutions have failed to deliver the full benefits of
Internet commerce. This has led to market demand for enterprise commerce
solutions that provide:

- Complete functionality for automating sales, order management,
fulfillment and customer service;

- Scalability to manage increasing numbers of users, higher transaction
rates and larger databases as transaction volume increases;

- Flexibility to meet the varying and evolving needs of businesses and to
permit rapid and cost-effective implementation, maintenance and upgrades;
and

- Interoperability to work in conjunction with new Internet technologies
and with an organization's existing business systems.

Process-Centric computing is an approach that enables our clients to create
software functionality modeled on their existing business practices, while
providing the flexibility to implement new Internet business processes.
Process-Centric computing enables a client's online processes to take into
account characteristics of the client's selling environment and its customers'
preferences. This approach provides each user with a personalized buying
experience. By building on process components, Process-Centric computing also
enables businesses to quickly make changes to their systems to adapt to changing
business conditions and to reduce the long-term maintenance costs associated
with supporting highly customized applications.

Our solution is designed to provide businesses with enterprise commerce
application software that is functionally comprehensive, expandable to meet the
requirements of global operations and flexible enough to apply online processes
to existing and evolving business practices. Our solution operates in
conjunction with a wide variety of Internet technologies and existing legacy
systems. The functionality and the ease of implementing, maintaining and
upgrading our products address what we believe is a growing desire by businesses
to maximize return on investment by more effectively deploying their information
systems.

COMMERCE EXCHANGE PLATFORM

Process Application Server

Our Process Application Server is a software platform upon which clients
can build and deploy sophisticated enterprise commerce solutions. The platform
is designed to allow

S-1/A 41st Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 41st

these solutions to integrate with a wide variety of hardware, operating systems,
databases, Web servers and other business applications. The Process Application
Server comes bundled with our Product Merchandising, Order Management and
Account Management applications.

Developed in the C++ and Java programming languages, the platform provides
open application programming interfaces to enable custom application components
to be developed to extend a client's enterprise commerce system. The platform
supports industry standard Web browsers, including Microsoft Explorer and
Netscape Navigator, and operates on multiple operating systems, including
Microsoft Windows NT, Sun Solaris-Unix and HP-UX. Data access is handled via
native drivers that support industry-standard databases, including Microsoft SQL
Server, Oracle and Sybase. Microsoft IIS, Netscape Enterprise and Apache Web
servers are supported. The architecture is designed to facilitate migration to
other database and server platforms as client demand or market conditions
require.

The Process Application Server incorporates both generally accepted and
advanced Internet security standards, such as SSL and X.509. The security
components enable secure communication across the Internet among businesses,
customers, trading partners and the information systems they use to manage their
businesses. These secure trading environments can be established without
affecting a client's existing security scheme or firewall. Commerce Exchange
supports three main layers of security: object-level, file system and database
security.

WebBroker

Our WebBroker product can be used by clients to manage the workload of
their enterprise commerce system by intelligently distributing Internet requests
across multiple application servers. WebBroker also enables multimedia content
to be displayed quickly and efficiently. By optimizing server utilization and
minimizing wait times, WebBroker provides a lower total cost of ownership and a
higher level of client service. WebBroker also increases fault tolerance and
reliability for Internet commerce sites by eliminating reliance on a single
server.

COMMERCE EXCHANGE APPLICATIONS

Our applications work in conjunction with our Process Application Server to
provide functionality for sales, order management, fulfillment and customer
service. The adaptable nature of our applications enable clients to deploy them
in their standard form or to easily customize or extend them to meet their
individual requirements.

Our Commerce Exchange applications include:

- Product Merchandising: Our Product Merchandising application enables a
client to create an interactive catalog that provides an online buying
and selling experience. The application enables personalized product
views, as well as dynamic product pricing, discounting and promotions. It
also supports advanced up-selling, cross-selling, product comparison and
product alternative features. Self-service functions include advanced
search capabilities, resulting in an experience directed at buyers'
specific needs. Selling organizations can personalize their offerings for
different buyers, products and locations. Easy-to-use administrative
interfaces facilitate managing the addition, modification and usage of
catalog product information.

S-1/A 42nd Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 42nd

- Order Management: Our Order Management application is designed to
support the personalized processing of orders within Commerce Exchange,
including order entry and order processing functions. Order entry
involves the capture of information required to place an order. Order
processing involves payment, shipping, inventory and taxation processes
once an order has been entered. The Order Management application supports
multiple payment and shipping methods.

- Account Management: Our Account Management application provides user
management, account tracking and management and online customer
self-service capabilities. The application enables the client to identify
and administer the users of the system and to logically assign those
users to specific groups. This enables the system functionality to be
personalized to different users and groups. The account tracking and
management functionality enables managers to set credit limits and
control and monitor the status of accounts. The application also provides
online buyers with the ability to manage their customer profile online,
as well as review shipment status and order and payment history. The
easy-to-use graphical interfaces also enable customers to cancel orders
as well as generate returns.

TOOLS

We provide a number of software development, system administration and
reporting tools that enable clients with limited programming experience to
customize and manage our software and monitor and analyze activity on their
enterprise commerce system. In addition, experienced engineers can utilize our
tools to develop advanced, customized applications for enterprise commerce as
well as other markets based on our software.

- Workplace: Our Workplace is a secure point of access for all system
management functions, such as application management, process modeling
and reporting. It provides a browser-based, remotely accessible interface
whose capabilities are determined by the security clearance of the
particular user. Workplace allows for either a single point of control or
distributed administration for all installed Commerce Exchange
applications.

- Visual Process Builder: Our Visual Process Builder enables the graphical
modeling, development and deployment of online business processes without
the need for traditional programming languages. Visual Process Builder
includes a comprehensive library of standard application process
components that enable the customization of the base application. Visual
Process Builder enables the Commerce Exchange solution to be adapted to
changing business and technology conditions.

- Business Analyzer: Our Business Analyzer enables graphical analysis and
manipulation of large amounts of data, such as products sold, total
sales, shipping analysis, site traffic, purchasing results and order
fulfillment. Clients can customize and easily build a wide variety of
reports to analyze captured data. Additionally, Business Analyzer can be
easily deployed over a corporate intranet, extranet or the Internet with
links to relational databases and existing data warehouses.

SALES AND MARKETING

We market our products and services primarily through our direct sales
organization. As of May 1, 1999, our sales force consisted of 57 employees
located in nine domestic offices (Atlanta, Georgia; Bellevue, Washington;
Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles,
California; New York, New York; Vienna, Virginia; and San Francisco, California)
and three international offices (London, Sydney and Tokyo). We intend to
continue to add sales personnel worldwide. We supplement our direct sales
efforts with strategic marketing alliances, including relationships with Active
Software, Inc., Agency.com, Inc., Cambridge Technology Partners, Inc., Cisco
Systems, Inc., Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Fort Point Partners, Inc.,
KPMG LLP, Sun MicroSystems, Inc., Net Perceptions, Inc., Trans Cosmos USA, Inc.,
USWeb Corporation and Whittman-Hart, Ltd., all of which have referred at least
one client to us. The contractual arrangements provide for the partner to
receive training from us and then market or provide sales leads for our products
through their direct sales force. We also have active technology and
distribution partnerships with CyberSource Corporation, Federal Express

S-1/A 45th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 45th

Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company and Cisco Systems, Inc. The contractual
arrangements provide for the joint development of compatible products or
extensions of our products, and provide for joint marketing and sales effects.

We deploy sales teams consisting of both sales and technical professionals
to create proposals, presentations and demonstrations that address the
requirements of the client. The decision makers within our prospective clients
are typically their executive management teams. Currently, the sales cycle for
our products typically ranges from two to 12 months.

Our marketing programs are targeted at sales, marketing and information
technology executives within large, multi-national organizations. Marketing
activities include branding, such as advertising and public relations campaigns;
lead generation and management; direct mail campaigns; field and channel
marketing, including joint marketing with strategic partners; product marketing;
and development of technology alliances.

CLIENTS

We believe that those organizations that are most likely to use our
products sell a large number of products, through diverse distribution channels
with a large number of trading partners. Accordingly, we market our products and
services to large domestic and international manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and direct marketers. As of May 1, 1999, we had over 70 clients.

Set forth below is a representative list of our clients. Each client listed
accounted for at least $150,000 of revenues for the eighteen month period ended
June 30, 1999.

COMPETITION

There is intense competition in the Internet commerce software industry. We
expect competition to intensify in the future. We compete against the in-house
development efforts of companies engaging in Internet commerce, as well as other
software application vendors and developers. Our current competitors include Art
Technology Group, BroadVision, Inc., CommerceOne, Inc., IBM, Intershop
Communications, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Netscape Communications
Corporation, Open Market Inc., Oracle Corporation and Pandesic LLC. We expect
other companies to enter our market. We compete principally on the basis of
product performance, client service and price. Our market is still evolving, and
we may not be able to compete successfully with current or future

S-1/A 46th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 46th

competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Risk
Factors -- We face intense competition, which could adversely affect our sales
and profitability."

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

We have both strategic and tactical development groups. The strategic
development group focuses on developing application functionality for sales,
support and client service processes, as well as enhancing the platform and
tools. The tactical development group develops products and features in
connection with specific client implementations. To the extent that we believe
that these products have broader application, they are incorporated into the
Commerce Exchange family of products. As of May 1, 1999, our development
organization was comprised of approximately 90 developers, development managers,
quality assurance personnel and testing engineers. Our expenses for research and
development were $2.4 million, $6.9 million and $9.6 million in 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively.

We employ a collaborative product planning and development process. The
planning process involves gathering product requirements from our sales and
marketing organizations, as well as from clients and strategic partners. Clients
and partners have input into future product direction and functionality.

We follow a rigorous quality assurance and testing process. This process is
designed to identify software defects through the entire development cycle.
Several test types are employed and defect reports and metrics are tracked to
facilitate resolution, including system testing and performance benchmarking.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

We rely on intellectual property laws, employee and third-party
non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights.
We currently have one patent application pending in the United States relating
to our product architecture and technology. While we believe that the pending
patent application relates to a patentable invention, the pending or any future
patent applications may not be granted, and any patent relied upon by us in the
future may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Moreover, the rights
granted under any patent issued to us or under licensing agreements may not
provide competitive advantages to us. We believe that, due to the rapid pace of
technological innovation for Internet commerce solutions, our ability to
establish and maintain a position of technology leadership in the industry is
dependent more on the skills of our development personnel than upon the legal
protections afforded our existing technology.

Our agreements with employees, consultants and others who participate in
the development of our software may be breached, and we may not have adequate
remedies for any breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become
known to or independently developed by competitors. Furthermore, our efforts to
protect our proprietary technology may fail to prevent the development and
design by others of products or technology similar to or competitive with those
developed by us.

The computer software market is characterized by frequent and substantial
intellectual property litigation. Intellectual property litigation is complex
and expensive, and the outcome of such litigation is difficult to predict.
BroadVision, Inc. and Open Market Inc., two of our competitors, have been issued
U.S. patents on some aspects of their electronic

S-1/A 47th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 47th

commerce products. In August 1998, we received a letter from counsel to Open
Market concerning the potential applicability of the Open Market patents to our
products. The letter stated that Open Market was prepared to meet with us to
resolve issues concerning the applicability of their patents and to discuss
terms of an appropriate license agreement. In early September 1998, we responded
to the Open Market inquiry, informing Open Market that based on our review of
the Open Market patents and the analysis and advice of our patent counsel, we
believe that the technology used in our products is sufficiently independent and
does not infringe on the patents awarded to Open Market. We have not received
any further inquiries or correspondence from Open Market since that time and
have had no inquiries or discussions with BroadVision with regard to patent
matters. Although we do not believe that we are infringing their patent rights,
either of those companies may claim that we are doing so. If a claim of patent
infringement by these or other companies was made against us, we would likely
incur significant expenses in defending against the claim, which could adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a
claim of infringement is made against us and we are not successful in defending
against the claim, we could be liable for substantial damages. We may also be
required to make royalty payments, which could be substantial, to the holder of
the patent rights. These events could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects for growth.

Our success will depend in part on our continued ability to obtain and use
licensed technology that is important to the performance of our products. An
inability to continue to procure or use such technology would likely have a
material adverse effect on us. In general, license terms range from 1 to 3 years
and, unless terminated upon notice by one of the parties, generally renew for
additional one year periods.

EMPLOYEES

As of May 1, 1999, we had a total of 274 employees. Of the total employees,
91 were in development and product management, 75 in sales and marketing, 74 in
worldwide services and 34 in administration. None of our employees are
represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and
consider our relations with our employees to be good.

PROPERTIES

Our principal offices are located in New York, New York and consist of
approximately 48,000 square feet of leased office space. In June 1999, we leased
an additional 50,000 square feet in our existing facility. As a result, our
annual rental costs for our principal offices has increased by $1.1 million to
an aggregate of approximately $2.1 million. The lease for the New York offices
expires in April 2015. With the additional space, we believe that our existing
facilities are adequate to meet our needs for the foreseeable future. We expect
to sublease a substantial portion of the additional space until we require the
space for our operations. We also rent office space in various cities in the
United States and in other countries for sales and field service and support
activities.

LITIGATION

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

STOCK PLANS

Stock Option Plan. We have adopted the amended and restated 1996 stock
option plan. The stock option plan permits the grant of (1) options to purchase
shares of common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and (2) options that do not so qualify,
or non-qualified options. No award may be granted under the stock option plan
after 2006. The stock option plan is administered by the compensation committee.

Under the stock option plan, 6,600,000 shares of common stock have been
reserved for issuance, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events. If an option granted
under the stock option plan expires unexercised or is terminated or cancelled
for any reason, the shares of common stock previously reserved for issuance upon
exercise of the option will be available for future option grants under the
stock option plan.

Options may be granted to persons who are, at the time of grant, employees,
officers or directors of or consultants to us, except that incentive stock
options may only be granted to individuals who are our employees.

Options granted under the stock option plan must be exercised within no
more than seven years of the grant date, except that an incentive stock option
granted to a person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of our stock must be exercised within no more that five years of the
grant date. No options may be assigned or transferred by the optionee other than
by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Each option may be exercised
only by the optionee during his or her lifetime.

The exercise price for each option granted will be determined by the
compensation committee at the time of grant. Options may not be granted at an
exercise price less than the fair market value per share of common stock. For
incentive stock options granted to a

S-1/A 55th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 55th

ten percent stockholder, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the
fair market value per share of common stock.

Options may be made exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of
options may be accelerated by the compensation committee. Options granted under
the stock option plan typically vest 20% on the first anniversary of the date of
grant and 5% each quarter thereafter.

As of March 31, 1999, an aggregate of 4,716,331 options were outstanding
under the stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $5.18 per
share, options to purchase 511,886 shares had been exercised and an aggregate of
1,381,783 shares were available for future options grants. Each director who is
not our employee receives non-qualified options to purchase 40,000 shares of
common stock when such director is elected to the board.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We have adopted, effective upon the date of
this prospectus, an employee stock purchase plan. Under the employee stock
purchase plan, eligible employees will be provided an opportunity to purchase
shares of common stock generally through regular payroll deductions. The
employee stock purchase plan is intended to qualify as an "employee stock
purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The total number
of shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance under the employee
stock purchase plan is 1,000,000. All of our full-time employees will be
eligible to participate in the employee stock purchase plan, subject to limited
exceptions. Employees will be given an opportunity to purchase shares of common
stock during consecutive six-month periods, and the right to purchase shares
will expire on the last day of the sixth-month period. Employees electing to
participate for any semi-annual period will authorize payroll deductions at a
stated whole percentage ranging from 2% to 10% of the employee's compensation.
The purchase price for shares offered under the employee stock purchase plan
each year will be equal to a percentage designated by the compensation committee
(not less than 85%) of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at
the commencement or termination of the six-month period as evidenced by the
initial public offering price per share in the case of the commencement of the
six-month period beginning on the date of this prospectus or, in all other
cases, by the closing price of the common stock on such date as reported on the
Nasdaq National Market. The employee stock purchase plan will expire on the
tenth anniversary of the date of this prospectus, unless sooner terminated by
the board of directors. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate
the employee stock purchase plan at any time and from time to time, subject to
limitations. The employee stock purchase plan will be administered by the
compensation committee.

401(k) PLAN

We have a defined contribution savings plan, or a 401(k) Plan, which
qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Code. Participants may contribute up to
15% of their gross wages, not to exceed, in any given year, a limitation set by
Internal Revenue Service regulations. Our 401(k) Plan provides for discretionary
contributions to be made by us as determined by our board of directors. We have
not made any discretionary contributions to our 401(k) Plan.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the liability of
our directors for monetary damages will be limited to the fullest extent
permissible under Delaware law. This limitation of liability does not affect the
availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. These indemnification provisions
require us to indemnify these persons against liabilities and expenses to which
they may become subject by reason of their service as a director or officer to
us or any of our affiliated enterprises. In addition, prior to the consummation
of this offering, we will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our
directors providing indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law and also setting forth procedures, including the advancement of
expenses, that apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.

COMMON STOCK

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted on by stockholders. The holders of common stock are not
entitled to cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of any preferred
stock, the holders of the common stock are entitled to receive dividends that
may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for the
payment of dividends. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of common stock would be
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities,
subject to prior distribution rights and payment of any distributions owing to
holders of shares of preferred stock then outstanding, if any. Holders of the
shares of common stock have no preemptive rights. There are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of common stock. The
outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock offered
by us in this offering will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of preferred stock
with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time
by the board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered,
without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividends,
liquidation, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power
or other rights of the holders of common stock. In the event of issuance, the
preferred stock could be used as a method of preventing a change in control.
Following this offering, no shares of preferred stock will be issued or
outstanding and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The holders of 9,189,999 shares of common stock outstanding immediately
after this offering are entitled to have their shares registered under the
Securities Act. Under the terms of the agreement between us and the holders of
these shares, if we propose to register any of our securities under the
Securities Act after this offering, either for our own account or for the
account of other security holders exercising registration rights, these holders
are entitled to notice of the registration and are entitled to include shares in
the

S-1/A 64th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 64th

registration. The stockholders benefiting from these rights may also require us
to file a registration statement under the Securities Act at our expense with
respect to their shares of common stock on up to four occasions after the 180th
day following the date of this prospectus, and we are required to use our best
efforts to effect such registrations. All of these rights are subject to various
conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an
offering to limit the number of shares included in any registration.

WARRANTS

We have issued warrants to purchase 534,070 shares of common stock at a
weighted average exercise price of $6.98 per share, which are presently
exercisable. See "Certain Transactions." All warrants will expire after a period
of ten years from issuance or five years from the effective date of this
offering, whichever is later.

SECTION 203 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits, with several
exceptions, a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of
business combinations, such as mergers, consolidations and sales of assets, with
an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years from the date that such
person became an interested stockholder. This makes a takeover of a company more
difficult and may have the effect of diminishing the possibility of certain
types of "front-end loaded" acquisitions of a company or other unsolicited
attempts to acquire a company. This may further have the effect of preventing
changes in the board of directors of a company, and it is possible that these
provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult to accomplish
transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best
interests.

LISTING

We have applied to have the common stock approved for quotation on the
Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market under the trading symbol "INTW."

TRANSFER AGENT

The transfer agent for our common stock is Chase Mellon Shareholder
Services.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public
market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect
the market price of our common stock.

Upon consummation of this offering, we will have outstanding 26,348,482
shares of common stock. Of these shares, the 3,000,000 shares sold in this
offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act, unless they are purchased by our affiliates as that
term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which sales would be
subject to restrictions under Rule 144). The remaining 23,348,482 outstanding
shares of common stock will be restricted securities, as that term is defined in
Rule 144, and may be sold only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from
registration such as are available by compliance with the conditions of Rule 144
under the Securities Act. Holders of 9,189,999 shares of common stock will also
have registration rights enabling them to cause us to register their shares
under the Securities Act. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Registration
Rights." In connection with this offering, we, our executive officers and
directors and substantially all of our stockholders, who will hold in excess of
23,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding after this offering, have agreed
that, subject to limited exceptions, we and they will not sell, offer or
contract to sell any shares of common stock without the prior written consent of
Invemed Associates LLC for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus. See "Underwriting." We are not aware of any officers, directors or
stockholders who intend to ask Invemed Associates LLC for a waiver of these
restrictions during the 180-day period. After giving effect to the lock-up
agreements, most of the restricted securities will be eligible for sale under
Rule 144 beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus. The foregoing
discussion does not give effect to the exercise of stock options that may occur.

After the completion of this offering, we intend to file Registration
Statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register 5,941,517 shares of
common stock reserved for issuance under our stock option plan and 1,000,000
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our employee stock purchase
plan.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting
agreement dated , 1999, we have agreed to sell to the

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter is obligated to
purchase all the shares of common stock in this offering, if any are purchased,
other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below.

We have granted to the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase on a pro
rata basis up to 450,000 additional shares from us at the initial public
offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may
be exercised only to cover over-allotments of common stock.

The underwriter proposes to offer the shares of common stock initially at
the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to selling
group members at that price less a concession of $ per share. The
underwriter and selling group members may allow a discount of $ per share on
sales to other brokers/dealers. After the initial public offering, the public
offering price and concession and discount to dealers may be changed by the
underwriter.

We estimate that our out-of-pocket expenses for this offering will be
approximately $1.0 million.

The underwriter has informed us that it does not expect discretionary sales
to exceed 5% of the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus.

We, as well as our directors, executive officers and substantially all of
our stockholders, who will hold in excess of 23,000,000 shares of common stock
outstanding after this offering, have agreed that, for a period of 180 days
after the date of this prospectus, we and they will not without the prior
written consent of Invemed Associates LLC, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge
or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or, in our case, file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities
Act relating to, any shares of common stock or securities or other rights
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of common stock,
or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, contract to sell,
pledge, disposition or, in our case, filing.

In addition, our directors, executive officers and substantially all of our
stockholders have agreed that during the 180 day period they will not, without
the prior written consent of Invemed Associates LLC, enter into any swap or
other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of shares of common stock, regardless of whether any
of the transactions described in this paragraph or the

S-1/A 67th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 67th

preceding paragraph is to be settled by delivery of common stock, securities or
other rights convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock,
in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding these restrictions:

(1) we may

- issue common stock in connection with the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities or the exercise of warrants or
options, in each case outstanding on the date of this prospectus,

- grant employee stock options or rights to purchase common stock under
the stock option plan or the employee stock purchase plan, and

- subject to some conditions, issue common stock in connection with the
exercise of options granted under our stock option plan; and

- issue common stock in connection with acquisitions of other entities
or substantially all of the assets of other entities; and

(2) our officers, directors and other shareholders may

- make bona fide gifts to or for the benefit, directly or indirectly,
of members of the person's family for estate planning purposes, so
long as the gifts are made other than on any securities exchange or
in the over-the-counter market and the donee agrees to terms
substantially similar to the foregoing for the underwriter's and our
benefit; and

- sell common stock acquired in this offering or in the open market.

The underwriter has not determined whether it will grant stockholders any
waivers from the 180 day lock-up described above. Among the factors the
underwriter may consider in connection with a request by a stockholder for a
waiver of the lock-up are the number of shares of our common stock subject to
the request in relation to the trading volume of the common stock and the
financial circumstances of the requesting stockholder. However, the actual
factors to be considered by the underwriter may differ from those described in
this paragraph and will depend on circumstances existing at the time of the
request.

The underwriter has reserved for sale, at the initial public offering
price, up to 275,000 shares of common stock for employees, directors, clients,
marketing, distribution and technology partners and suppliers who have expressed
an interest in purchasing common stock in this offering. The number of shares
available for sale to the general public in this offering will be reduced to the
extent these persons purchase the reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so
purchased will be offered by the underwriter to the general public on the same
terms as the other shares.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against liabilities under the
Securities Act, or to contribute to payments which the underwriter may be
required to make in respect thereof.

The shares of common stock have been approved for listing on The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market.

The underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions,
covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of this
offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit
bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not
exceed a specified maximum. Covering transactions involve purchases of the
common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in
order to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a
selling concession from a selling group member when the common stock originally
sold by such selling group member is purchased in a covering transaction to
cover short positions. Stabilizing transactions, covering transactions and
penalty bids may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would
otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions may be
effected on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market or otherwise and, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed
upon for us by O'Sullivan Graev & Karabell, LLP, New York, New York. The
O'Sullivan Graev & Karabell Profit Sharing Plan owns 22,500 shares of common
stock, and Robert Seber, a member of the firm, owns 5,000 shares of common
stock. Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP,

July 1997, KPMG LLP resigned as our independent accountants because we entered
into a strategic partnership agreement with KPMG LLP. No audits were conducted
by KPMG LLP on our financial statements, and no reports were issued. There were
no disagreements between us and KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure
during the period from their retention in November 1996 through their
resignation in July 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of InterWorld Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
InterWorld Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial
operating losses, expects to incur substantial additional losses and expects
that its cash and working capital requirements will continue to increase as the
Company's operations continue to expand. These and other factors, as discussed
in Note 2, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in
Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED WITH RESPECT TO MARCH 31, 1999 AND FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1999)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION

InterWorld Corporation ("InterWorld") was incorporated in March 1995 under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The consolidated financial statements of
InterWorld include the accounts of InterWorld and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
InterWorld Technology Ventures Pty, Ltd., an Australian corporation incorporated
in November 1996, InterWorld Technology Ventures, Ltd., a Canadian corporation
incorporated in November 1996, and InterWorld U.K. Ltd., a United Kingdom
corporation incorporated in May 1998. In April 1997, InterWorld formed UGO
Networks, Inc., ("UGO," formerly ActionWorld, Inc.) under the laws of the State
of Delaware. Until March 30, 1998 InterWorld was the majority owner of UGO, and
UGO is included in the consolidated financial statements of InterWorld at
December 31, 1997. On March 30, 1998, InterWorld completed a spin-off
distribution of UGO (Note 13).

BUSINESS

InterWorld is a provider of Internet commerce software solutions that
enable manufacturers, distributors and retailers to conduct business over the
Internet. InterWorld's products, called "enterprise commerce" software, enable
companies to build their online businesses and integrate them with their
existing business practices and enterprise systems. InterWorld derives its
revenues from its family of enterprise commerce software consisting of its
Commerce Exchange platform, applications, tools and business adapters.

2. LIQUIDITY

InterWorld has incurred significant operating losses since inception. At
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, InterWorld had an accumulated deficit of
$53,195 and $60,346, respectively, and working capital (deficit) of ($635) and
$5,307, respectively. Such losses have resulted principally from product
development costs, sales and marketing costs and general and administrative
costs associated with InterWorld developing its products and expanding its level
of operations. In order to fund these efforts, InterWorld completed private
placements of its mandatorily redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series A Preferred") during 1996, 1997 and 1998 (Note 7). InterWorld utilized
the net proceeds from these issuances to fund operations and for working capital
requirements. The Company also completed a private placement of its mandatorily
redeemable Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred") in
January 1999 providing gross proceeds of approximately $16,500 (Note 15).
Effective as of May 1998, InterWorld's secured loan agreement with a holder of
Series A Preferred was amended to increase to $11,000 the maximum borrowings
that could be made by InterWorld to fund its future cash requirements (Note 10).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming InterWorld will continue as a going concern. InterWorld's net losses
and negative cash
F-11

INTERWORLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

flows from operations and expected additional losses raise substantial doubt
about its present ability to continue as a going concern. InterWorld's ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations as they come due.

Management is also actively pursuing other financing options which include
securing additional equity financing through an initial public offering. If for
any reason the initial public offering is delayed or postponed, InterWorld
intends to seek additional private equity financing. Management believes that
sufficient funding will be available to meet its planned business objectives for
a reasonable period of time; however, there can be no assurance that InterWorld
will be successful in its efforts to raise additional capital. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability of the carrying amount of the recorded assets or the amount of
liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
InterWorld and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Assets and liabilities of InterWorld's foreign subsidiaries are translated
to U.S. dollars based on exchange rates at the end of the respective reporting
period. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during
the period. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of
operating expenses. Cumulative translation adjustments are insignificant at
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999.

ACCOUNTING 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
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents, which are stated at cost, consist of short-term, highly
liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months when
purchased. Interest is accrued as earned.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -- NET

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts of
$622, $1,217 and $1,194 at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and March 31, 1999,
respectively.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

[Download Table]

Computer equipment and software... 3 years
Leasehold improvements............ Shorter of lease term or estimated
useful life
Furniture and fixtures............ 5 years
Office equipment.................. 3 years

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Effective January 1, 1997 InterWorld adopted AICPA Statement of Position
97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"). SOP 97-2 provides guidance on
when and in what amounts revenue should be recognized for licensing, selling,
leasing, or otherwise marketing computer software. The adoption of SOP 97-2 did
not have a material impact on InterWorld's results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

During 1998, InterWorld also adopted SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP
98-9"). SOP 98-9 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements
involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the
relative vendor specific objective evidence of the elements. The adoption of SOP
98-9 did not have a material impact on InterWorld's results of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1998.

PRODUCT LICENSES

Revenue from the licensing of InterWorld's software products is recognized
upon delivery to the customer, pursuant to an executed software licensing
agreement when no significant vendor obligations exist, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collection is probable. If acceptance by the customer is
required, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance. Amounts received from
customers in advance of product shipment are classified as deposits from
customers. InterWorld enters into reseller arrangements for its products that
typically provide for license fees payable to InterWorld based on a percentage
of the InterWorld's list price. License revenues from InterWorld's reseller
arrangements are recognized when the fee is fixed or determinable upon delivery
by the reseller when collection is probable.

SERVICES REVENUE

Revenue from professional services, such as custom development,
installation and integration support, is recognized as the services are
rendered. Contracts for professional services requiring significant production,
modification or customization to InterWorld's software products are recognized
on a percentage of completion basis.

F-13

INTERWORLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Revenue from maintenance and customer support services, such as telephone
support and product enhancements is recognized ratably over the period of the
agreement under which the services are provided, typically one year.

Deferred revenue consists principally of billings in advance for services
not yet provided.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs included in sales and marketing expenses are expensed as
incurred and approximated $204, $455, $470 and $29 for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

InterWorld charges all costs incurred to establish the technological
feasibility of a product or product enhancement to research and development
expense as incurred.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and notes payable approximates their fair values due to the relatively
short maturity of these instruments.

INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA

The unaudited financial data at March 31, 1999 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 have been prepared by management and include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1999.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for
the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation
allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments

F-14

S-1/A 84th Page of 108 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 84th
INTERWORLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires an
entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. At March 31, 1999, InterWorld did not own any derivative
instruments and had not engaged in any hedging activities during the three
months ended March 31, 1999. InterWorld does not expect to purchase derivative
instruments or enter into hedging activities in the foreseeable future.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is comprised of the following at December 31, 1997,
1998 and March 31, 1999:

6. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Effective December 31, 1997, InterWorld adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" ("SFAS 128") which requires presentation of basic earnings per share
("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") by all entities
that have publicly traded common stock or potential common stock (options,
warrants, convertible securities or contingent stock arrangements). SFAS 128
also requires presentation of earnings per share by an entity that has made a
filing or is in the process of filing with a regulatory agency in preparation
for the sale of those securities in a public market. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation
of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of
securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings.

All prior periods presented have been restated for the adoption of SFAS
128.

At December 31, 1998, outstanding options to purchase 3,428,155 shares of
common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $8.50 per share, and at
March 31, 1999 options to purchase 4,716,331 shares of common stock with
exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to $10.00, have been excluded from the
computation of diluted loss per share as they are antidilutive. Outstanding
warrants to purchase 534,070 shares of Series A Preferred with exercise prices
ranging from $2.00 to $9.775 per share were also antidilutive and excluded from
the computation of diluted loss per share at both December 31, 1998 and March
31, 1999. Common shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred and
Series B Preferred have also been excluded from the computation of diluted loss
per share at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 as they are antidilutive.

In January 1999, InterWorld completed the sale and issuance of 1,650,000
shares of Series B Preferred which are convertible into common stock (Note 15).
InterWorld also granted options to purchase 1,604,567 shares of common stock
(Note 15) in February 1999.

7. COMMON STOCK AND CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK SPLITS

Effective March 5, 1996, InterWorld implemented a 5,400-for-1 stock split,
effected in the form of a stock dividend, applicable to all issued and
outstanding shares of InterWorld's common stock.

On July 12, 1996, InterWorld implemented a 2.5-for-1 stock split applicable
to all issued and outstanding shares of InterWorld's common and preferred stock
(without changing the par value thereof).

All common and preferred shares and related per share data reflected in the
accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been presented as if
the stock splits had occurred on January 1, 1996.

COMMON STOCK

In June 1998, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the number
of authorized shares of InterWorld's common stock from 27,000,000 shares to
35,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors also authorized an increase to
100,000,000 shares of common stock to be effective upon commencement of
InterWorld's planned initial public offering. In addition, the Board of
Directors also approved the authorization of an additional 15,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, $.01 par value.

MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

At December 31, 1998, InterWorld had authorized the issuance of 8,200,000
shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value. Such preferred shares have been
designated as Series A Preferred. The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled
to (i) share in dividends on a pro-rata basis with common stockholders on an
as-converted basis; (ii) a liquidation preference equal to the sum of the price
paid per share and all declared and unpaid dividends (the "Preference Amount");
(iii) demand redemption of the Preference Amount in the event of a merger where
the shareholders of InterWorld do not control the surviving entity or a sale of
all or substantially all of InterWorld's assets; (iv) mandatory redemption of
the Preference Amount in cash at any date on or after March 2003 by a majority
vote of the Series A preferred holders; (v) vote on all matters on an as
converted basis; and (vi) convert to common stock at the Preference Amount
multiplied by the shares to be converted divided by the conversion price (the
"Conversion Price") per share. The initial Conversion Price is equal to the
issuance price per share of Series A Preferred, and is subject to adjustment in
the event shares of common stock are issued without consideration or for
consideration per share less than the conversion price.

The Series A Preferred shares are subject to automatic conversion upon
consummation of an underwritten public offering of InterWorld's common stock
providing aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of
greater than $10,000.

In connection with the March 1996 Series A Preferred issuance, InterWorld
issued warrants to an investor to purchase 103,420 shares of Series A Preferred,
at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants in the
amount of $135 has been recorded to additional paid-in capital. The warrants may
be exercised at any time and expire ten years from issuance or five years from
the effective date of InterWorld's initial public offering, whichever is later.

In connection with the September 1997 Series A Preferred issuance,
InterWorld issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 110,294 shares of its
Series A Preferred, at an exercise price of $9.775 per share, as a placement
fee. The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $587 has been recorded to
additional paid-in-capital.

InterWorld incurred cash expenses of $54 and $20 during 1997 and 1998,
respectively, in connection with the Series A Preferred issuances.

In November 1997, InterWorld had authorized the issuance of 1,188,235
shares of Series A Preferred at $8.50 per share. As of December 31, 1997,
InterWorld had received deposits in the amount of $225 for subscriptions to
purchase 26,471 shares.

During 1997, InterWorld issued warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Series
A Preferred at $7.50 per share to a financial advisor. The fair value of the
warrants in the amount of $371 was expensed during 1997.

In March 1998, in connection with the sale and issuance of Series A
Preferred, InterWorld issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 39,864 shares
of its Series A

F-19

INTERWORLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Preferred at an exercise price of $9.775 per share as a placement fee. The fair
value of the warrants in the amount of $252 has been recorded to
paid-in-capital.

The excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of Series A
Preferred is being recorded by periodic charges to stockholders' equity through
March 2003, the earliest date at which the Series A Preferred holders may
require redemption of their shares.

8. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

During 1996 and 1997, InterWorld recognized product license and service
revenues from sales to a holder of Series A preferred of $156 and $12,
respectively.

In May 1996, InterWorld made loans in the aggregate amount of $193, bearing
interest at a rate of 6% per annum, to its three co-founders. The principal and
interest on the loans to two of the founders, in the aggregate amount of $114,
will be forgiven in equal installments starting in 1999, except that if either
of them voluntarily terminates his employment or service as a director prior to
May 2001, his loan including interest will become due and payable in May 2001.
In May 1998 the third founder repaid $23 of the principal amount of his loan,
reducing the principal amount of the loan to $75. The balance of such loan was
forgiven and expensed in June 1998. Interest income from such loans amounted to
$7, $12 and $9 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 1997 and
1998, other assets included $211 and $114, respectively, in amounts due from co-
founders.

During 1998, InterWorld recognized product license and service revenue from
sales to UGO of $474. All sales to UGO were for product licenses and services
provided subsequent to UGO's spin-off on March 30, 1998 (Note 13).

9. STOCK OPTION, DEFINED CONTRIBUTION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In March 1996, InterWorld implemented its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") whereby incentive and nonqualified options to purchase shares of
InterWorld's stock may be granted to directors and employees of InterWorld and
its subsidiaries. In June 1998, the Board of Directors approved amendments to
the Plan whereby the aggregate number of shares of common stock for which
options may be granted under the Plan was increased to 6,600,000. The exercise
and vesting periods and the exercise price for options granted under the Plan
are determined by the Board of Directors or a Committee of the Board of
Directors. The Plan stipulates that no option may be exercisable after seven
years from the date of grant. The fair market value of InterWorld's common stock
is determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the Plan
generally vest over a period of five years, 20% on the first anniversary of the
date of grant and 5% each quarter thereafter.

InterWorld applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for
its Plan and other stock-based compensation issued to employees. During the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, InterWorld has recognized
compensation expense for options granted to employees of $71, $752 and $ 1,615,
respectively. InterWorld estimates that it will recognize compensation expense
in an aggregate amount of $4,385 in future years as options vest for grants made
during 1996, 1997 and 1998. (See Note 15 for compensation expense for Options
granted in 1999).

During 1996, 1997 and 1998, InterWorld issued 20,000, 15,000 and 8,706
options, respectively, to third party consultants in exchange for services.
InterWorld has recognized non-cash expense of $28 in 1996, $36 in 1997 and $47
in 1998 based on the fair value of such options at the date of grant.

Had compensation cost for option grants to employees been determined based
upon the fair value at the date of grant for awards under the Plan consistent
with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), InterWorld's net loss and loss per share for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 would have increased by
approximately $115, or $0.01 per share, $677 or $0.05, and $1,568 or $0.11 per
share, respectively.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

InterWorld has a defined contribution savings plan (the "Plan"), which
qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may
contribute up to 15% of their gross wages not to exceed, in any given year, a
limitation set by Internal Revenue Service regulations. The Plan provides for
discretionary contributions to be made by InterWorld as determined by its Board
of Directors. InterWorld has not made any contributions to the Plan.

10. SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

Effective as of May 1998, InterWorld's secured loan agreement with a holder
of Series A Preferred was amended to increase to $11,000 the maximum borrowings
that could be made by InterWorld. The loan accrues interest, which is payable
monthly, at a rate of 10% per annum and is secured by the accounts receivable of
InterWorld. InterWorld may borrow amounts under the loan agreement for a period
of twelve months subsequent to its initial borrowing under the loan agreement or
until completion of an initial public offering by InterWorld. The loan principal
is due and payable the later of 15 months from the initial borrowing or 21
months from the date of the agreement. The initial borrowing under the loan
agreement occurred on October 26, 1998.

At December 31, 1998, InterWorld had $4,000 in outstanding borrowings under
the loan agreement. Interest expense recognized on the loan in 1998 amounted to
$60.

The amount of $3,229 presented as notes payable to stockholders on the
balance sheet at December 31, 1998 is net of unamortized debt discount.

The lender was issued a warrant to purchase 51,766 shares of Series A
Preferred at an exercise price of $9.775 per share upon execution of the loan
agreement. The lender was also issued a warrant to purchase an additional 51,766
shares of Series A Preferred at a price of $9.775 per share upon InterWorld's
initial borrowing under the loan agreement in October, 1998.

The aggregate fair value of the warrants in the amount of $1,023 has been
recorded as debt discount on the loan obligation and is being amortized to
interest expense over a period of twelve months.

11. CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK AND CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Financial instruments which potentially subject InterWorld to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and notes payable. InterWorld generally does not require collateral and
the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. InterWorld sells its
products to a wide range of commercial enterprises. InterWorld had no
significant foreign revenue in any of the periods presented.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, two customers accounted for 31% and
17% of net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1997, two different
customers accounted for 11% and 10% of net revenues. For the year ended December
31, 1998, another customer accounted for 14% of net revenues. For the three
months ended March 31, 1999, two customers accounted for 27% and 15% of net
revenues.

For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, InterWorld's foreign sales were not material.

12. INCOME TAXES

InterWorld has incurred losses since inception which have generated net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39,210 and $43,316 at December
31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, respectively, for federal and state income tax
purposes. These carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income and
expire in 2011 through 2019. At December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, InterWorld
also had research and development tax credit carryforwards in the amount of
$1,437 and $1,800, respectively, which expire in 2002 through 2019.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"),
places a limitation on the utilization of federal net operating loss
carryforwards upon the occurrence of an ownership change. In general, a change
in ownership occurs when a greater than 50 percent change in ownership takes
place over a three year testing period. The annual utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards generated prior to such change is limited, in any one year,
to a percentage of the entity's fair value at the time of the change in
ownership. As a result of certain equity transactions consummated by InterWorld,
a change in ownership, as defined by Section 382 of the IRC, has occurred during
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

The net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income
tax purposes result in a net deferred tax benefit of $21,842 and $24,507 at
December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, respectively. InterWorld's operating plans
anticipate taxable income in future periods; however, such plans make
significant assumptions which cannot be reasonably assured, including market
acceptance of InterWorld's products and services by customers. Therefore, in
consideration of InterWorld's accumulated losses and the uncertainty of its
ability to utilize this deferred tax benefit in the future, InterWorld has
recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $21,842 and $24,507 at December
31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, respectively, to offset the deferred tax benefit
amount.

13. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 30, 1998, InterWorld completed a spin-off distribution of its
subsidiary UGO, reducing its majority ownership to a minority interest of
approximately 18%. Since March 30, 1998, InterWorld's minority interest in UGO
has decreased to approximately 10% as a result of private equity financings by
UGO. Common shares of UGO were distributed to the InterWorld's common and
preferred stockholders of record as of March 30, 1998 on the basis of 0.18 a
common share of UGO for each common and preferred share (on an as converted
basis) of InterWorld. UGO is an online retailer of game and entertainment
software.

InterWorld has presented UGO as a discontinued operation in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997. A
provision of $627 for estimated operating losses through the disposal date was
recorded at December 31, 1997. The costs of disposal were not expected to be
significant.

A summary of the net liabilities distributed is as follows:

InterWorld has not guaranteed and is not contingently liable for any
obligations of UGO. InterWorld carries its investment in UGO at cost and it has
no continuing significant involvement in the operations of UGO.

During 1997, UGO had no revenues and incurred net losses of $1,310. The
basic loss per share and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31,
1997 attributable to discontinuance of the operations of UGO was approximately
$0.14 per share.

14. COMMITMENTS

Leases

InterWorld has entered into noncancelable operating leases primarily for
office space, furniture and office equipment with initial or remaining terms of
six months or more. Total rent expense amounted to $365, $1,349 and $1,283 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

During 1997, InterWorld completed a sale-leaseback transaction with a
holder of Series A Preferred, selling computer equipment, office equipment, and
furniture and fixtures of $878, net of accumulated depreciation, for $819, and
realizing a loss of $59. The lease has been accounted for as a capital lease.
During 1997 InterWorld acquired computer equipment, office equipment, and
furniture and fixtures pursuant to capital lease agreements with the Series A
Preferred holder. The leases had an aggregate initial principal amount of
$3,181. In connection with the leases InterWorld issued the lessor in March 1996
and February 1997 warrants to purchase 37,500, and 39,200 shares of Series A
Preferred, at exercise prices of $2.00 and $6.25 per share, respectively. The
aggregate fair value of the warrants in the amount of $210 has been recorded as
debt discount on the related capital lease obligation and is being amortized to
interest expense over the term of the lease. During 1997 and 1998, InterWorld
recognized interest expense of $52 and $70 related to the warrants.

A Series A Preferred stockholder in January 1997 issued an irrevocable
letter of credit with a term of one year, in the amount of $1,579 as security
for performance under an office space lease. As consideration for the issuance,
InterWorld issued the Series A Preferred stockholder warrants to purchase 25,260
shares of Series A Preferred, at an exercise price of $6.25. The fair value of
such warrants, in the amount of $104, was recorded as interest expense during
1997.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In January 1999, InterWorld completed the sale and issuance of 1,650,000
shares of Series B Preferred at $10.00 per share, providing gross proceeds of
$16,500 and net proceeds, after deducting placement fees and other expenses paid
by InterWorld, of $15,510. Except with respect to potential adjustments to the
conversion price, InterWorld's Series B Preferred shares provide the same rights
and preferences as those of prior Series A Preferred issuances.

In January 1999, InterWorld utilized a portion of net proceeds from the
issuance of the Series B Preferred to repay $4,000 under its secured loan
agreement (Note 10).

In February 1999, InterWorld granted to employees and consultants options
to purchase 1,604,567 shares of common stock, all at an exercise price of $10.00
per share of which the granting of options to purchase 115,000 common shares are
contingent upon the commencement of employment. InterWorld estimates it will
recognize approximately $8,556 of compensation expense over the vesting period
of these options.

UNAUDITED

In June 1999, InterWorld entered into an agreement to lease additional
office space at its current location. As a result, annual rental costs have
increased by approximately $1.1 million. The lease expires in April 2015.

16. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND PRO FORMA PRESENTATION (UNAUDITED)

In May 1999, the Board of Directors of InterWorld authorized management to
pursue an underwritten sale of shares of InterWorld's common stock in an initial
public offering (the "IPO") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

Upon completion of the IPO, InterWorld will adopt an employee stock
purchase plan. Under the plan, eligible employees will be provided an
opportunity to purchase shares of InterWorld's common stock through regular
payroll deductions. The total number of shares of common stock that are
authorized for issuance under the plan is 1,000,000. Employees will be given an
opportunity to purchase shares of common stock during consecutive six-month
periods, and the right to purchase shares will expire on the last day of the
six-month period. The purchase price for shares offered under the Plan each year
will be equal to a percentage designated by the compensation committee of the
Board of Directors (not less than 85%) of the lower of the fair market value of
InterWorld's common stock at the commencement or termination of the six-month
period. The plan will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date of
the plan.

Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
and Series B Preferred will automatically convert into an aggregate of 9,189,999
shares of common stock. The pro forma effects of this conversion have been
reflected in unaudited pro forma stockholder's equity at March 31, 1999.

For the periods ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the pro forma
basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations reflecting the
effects of the conversion of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred would
have been ($1.05) and ($0.31), respectively. Pro forma basic and diluted loss
per share for the periods ended December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 would have
been ($1.05)and ($0.31), respectively. The pro forma weighted average shares
outstanding at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 would have been 21,031,403
and 22,746,329, respectively.

Also upon completion of the IPO, 178,570 previously unvested options to
purchase 178,570 shares of common stock will automatically vest. InterWorld will
recognize approximately $229 of noncash compensation expense upon the vesting of
such options.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates
in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the
underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director,

II-6

officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained
in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to
be part of the Registration Statement as of the time it was declared
effective.

(ii) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
