ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

        On March 31, 2002, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 9, 2002, as amended March 15, 2002, between Registrant and Beyond.com Corporation ("Beyond.com"), in exchange for $2,910,311 in shares of Registrant's common stock (valued at the average of the closing price of Registrant's common stock for the 15 trading days prior to two days before closing), Registrant purchased those assets and assumed those liabilities of Beyond.com related to its eStores business, which manages online stores for clients. Pursuant to a post-closing amendment to the agreement, the parties agreed to a post-closing adjustment to the value of the common stock such that the common stock will be valued at the average of the closing price for the 15 business days prior to two days before closing and the seven business days immediately following closing, which value is $13.06. As a result, Beyond.com was entitled to receive a total of 222,842 shares in connection with the closing. The purchase was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court following Beyond.com's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and certain elements of the purchase remain subject to further approval by the court. The agreement includes contingent earn-out provisions whereby Beyond.com may receive (i) 73,699 additional shares of Registrant's common stock, valued at $962,500, if specified customers of Beyond.com remain Registrant's customers for 90 days post closing, (ii) 38,285 additional shares of Registrant's common stock, valued at $500,000, if specified customers of Beyond.com with a total weight of 90% or more (as specified in the agreement) enter into 12 month contracts with Registrant within 60 days of the closing and (iii) 103,369 additional shares of Registrant's common stock, valued at $1.35 million, if specified customers enter into 12 month contracts with Registrant within 60 days of the closing (with such shares valued as described above). Of the shares issued at closing, 70,000 shares were placed in escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations contained in the agreement. Subject to outstanding claims, the escrow will terminate 90 days following the closing.
