PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Innotrac Corporation ("Innotrac" or the "Company"), founded in 1984 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, provides customized, technology-based order fulfillment, call center and total customer relationship management services to large corporations that outsource these functions. In order to perform call center and fulfillment functions in-house, a company may be required to develop expensive, labor-intensive infrastructures, which may divert its resources and management's focus from its principal or core business. By assuming responsibility for these tasks, we strive to improve the quality of the non-core operations of our clients and to reduce their overall operating costs. We enable our clients to manage their sales channels efficiently by utilizing our core competencies, which include: - Technology services: - order management systems - warehouse management systems - electronic data interface, or EDI, integration - interactive voice response, or IVR - chat box capabilities - database management/data warehousing/data mining - integration into clients systems - full shopping cart, credit card processing - inventory and customer service integration - billing services - Fulfillment services: - sophisticated warehouse management technology - automated shipping solutions - real-time inventory tracking and order status - purchasing and inventory management - channel development - promotions and coupons - Customer support services: - inbound call center services - technical support and order status - returns and refunds processing - call centers integrated into fulfillment platform - cross-sell/up-sell services We receive most of our clients' orders either through electronic data interchange ("EDI") or the internet. On a same day basis, depending on product availability, the Company picks, packs and ships the item, tracks inventory levels through an automated, integrated perpetual inventory system, warehouses data and handles customer support inquiries. Since 1994, we have had a high focus on the telecommunications industry because of its growth characteristics and increasing marketing needs. We provide marketing support services and fulfillment of telephones, Caller ID equipment, Digital Subscriber Line Modems ("DSL modems") and other telecommunications products to companies such as BellSouth Corporation ("BellSouth"), SBC 2 Communications, Inc. ("SBC"), Warranty Corporation of America and Qwest Communications International, Inc. ("Qwest") and their customers. As of December 1, 2001, we no longer provided these services to SBC, which represented approximately 15% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 49% of our revenues were generated from telecommunications clients, 18% of revenues were from DSL and cable modem clients and 33% of revenues were from traditional fulfillment and marketing services clients. Our non-telecommunications clients include such companies as Coca-Cola, National Automotive Parts Association, Tactica, Porsche, Nordstrom.com, Wilsons Leather and Thane International. Approximately 88% of our 2000 revenues were from telecommunications clients. We anticipate that the percentage of our revenues attributable to telecommunications clients will continue to decrease during 2002 due to the loss of SBC and the addition of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. as a fulfillment and call center client, commencing in February 2002. As a result of the loss of the SBC contract, we elected to close our call center operations in Atlanta, Georgia in January 2002 and shifted our Atlanta clients to our call center operations in Pueblo, Colorado. We notified approximately 260 employees at the Atlanta and Pueblo call center facilities on October 31, 2001 regarding termination of employment effective January 2002. We incurred approximately $1.0 million in severance, write-off of assets, and other expenses related to the closure of the Atlanta call center operations during the year ended December 31, 2001. We do not anticipate incurring any additional costs associated with this closure. We continue to operate call center facilities in Pueblo, Colorado and Reno, Nevada. With the conversion of a majority of our clients to a fee-for-service model during 2000, we no longer purchase and sell Caller ID equipped phones, DSL modems and other telecommunications equipment from third party manufacturers for these clients. Instead, we warehouse products on a consignment basis and fulfill equipment on behalf of our customers for a fee. We purchase and own inventory for certain clients, but on a significantly reduced risk basis as a result of client guarantees and contractual indemnifications. The new model substantially reduces revenues as the pass through cost of purchased equipment is no longer included in revenues. Gross margins have improved since we no longer have inventory risk or cost of equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2001, operating cash flows, while remaining positive, have declined from the same period in 2000 primarily due to the significant increase in inventory levels to provide for the initiation of the consumer phone and wireless pager sales programs with BellSouth. We began these new sales programs during the third and fourth quarters of 2001, and we are indemnified by the client for substantially all risks associated with the ownership of this new inventory. On May 17, 2000, we invested in a new venture, Return.com Online, Inc. ("Return.com") with its equity partner, Mail Boxes Etc. ("MBE") to process product returns for online and catalog retailers. Return.com was converted to a limited liability corporation on December 28, 2000. As of March 31, 2001, we owned 60% of this subsidiary with the remaining 40% owned by MBE. However, due to the announcement in March 2001 that United Parcel Services, Inc. had entered into a definitive agreement to purchase MBE, we elected to acquire from MBE the remaining 40% ownership interest in Return.com and terminate our arrangement with MBE as its exclusive front-end solution. This became effective in April 2001. As a result of our ownership interest in Return.com since the date of inception, we consolidated the results of operations and financial position of Return.com in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2001, we utilized a $2.8 million impairment reserve, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2001, to write off the investment in Return.com. At December 31, 2001, Return.com is no longer in operation. In an effort to reduce our industry and client concentration and to expand our national presence, we acquired iFulfillment, Inc. ("iFulfillment") in July 2001 and Universal Distribution Services, Inc. ("UDS") in December 2000. Our iFulfillment subsidiary specializes in fully integrated, automated, order fulfillment services for multi-channel retailers and catalogers including such clients as Nordstrom.com, Wilsons Leather and Archibald Candies. It is located in a 354,000 square foot leased facility in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Our UDS division provides integrated order processing, order management, fulfillment and customer relationship management services. UDS's customer base comprises traditional direct marketing 3 companies as well as retailers including Thane International, Tactica and Gateway Learning. It is located in a 275,000 square foot facility in Reno, Nevada. Since the acquisition of UDS, we were able to expand UDS's business during 2001 by taking advantage of our East Coast capabilities. Under the terms of Innotrac's merger agreement with UDS, the former shareholders of UDS (including one of our executive officers, Patrick J. West) may receive, as part of the consideration paid for their shares, annual contingent payments based on the operating income generated by our UDS division over a three-year period that commenced December 1, 2000. For the first year of the earn-out period, UDS's stockholders received approximately $13 million in cash and 310,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to this arrangement. We do not currently believe any additional contingent payments will be due. We intend to continue our search for other selective acquisitions during the course of 2002 to complete our national model. We are committed to continued diversification of our client base. Our long-term goal is to have our business mix spread evenly across a higher number of clients in more diverse industries. MARKETING SUPPORT SERVICES We provide customized, technology-based order fulfillment, call center and total customer relationship management services to our clients. We act as an extension of our clients in reaching their end user customers. Our full-range of services are described below and can be offered to clients who sell products and services through various sales channels. TECHNOLOGY SERVICES Our integrated technology solutions help us provide fulfillment and call center services to our clients and create barriers to entry for our competitors. We provide the following technology-based services: ELECTRONIC DATA INTERFACE INTEGRATION. We use EDI to link our systems to our clients' systems, which permits the automatic exchange of information. Our telecommunications clients generally transmit sales orders for telephones, Caller ID equipment, DSL Modems and other products to us via EDI. We can also provide sales, billing and individual customer order status updates to our clients through EDI links. The open architecture of our systems facilitates adapting our EDI capabilities to new clients and new marketing programs. We also develop methods to allow clients without EDI capabilities to transmit their order files to us through other methods. SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. With some clients, we develop proprietary software that provides direct integration between our system and theirs. This allows us to exchange data, update customer records, place orders for products and services and provide up-to-the-second inventory status. By developing an integrated system interface with our clients, our systems and our clients' systems act as one and provide real-time, highly accurate data inquiries and updates. By developing proprietary software for integration, we are able to maintain longer, more consistent relationships with our largest clients. INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE. In many cases, our call center services are offered through IVR systems. These menu driven systems allow customers to route their calls by selecting from several offerings. Our IVR systems include text to speech capabilities, which allow the IVR systems to "read" specific, real-time data from the client's databases and convert it into speech based on cues from a caller. These systems generally reduce personnel and physical plant expenses associated with a call center while expanding the operating capabilities of the center. Customer support is also integrated into our IVR systems so that an end user can obtain answers to service questions from an automated system, rather than a call center representative, regarding the products they purchased. DATABASE MANAGEMENT/DATA MINING. We manage client databases independently or in conjunction with other marketing support programs. Independent database management begins with the client providing the information to establish the database or our obtaining the data from a variety of sources. We then customize and manage this data to provide client reports. Many times we will develop a 4 systems integration module that allows our system to fully integrate with our clients' systems enabling the sharing of database files. In addition, our integrated marketing support programs generate information about customers, demographics, recurring technical problems and other useful marketing data. We are then able to create customized databases that evolve with our ongoing marketing support and customer service programs. This data is a source of valuable information as we evaluate ongoing programs and plan and design future programs with our clients. FULFILLMENT SERVICES Providing effective turnkey fulfillment solutions for our clients' products is one of our core competencies. Our capabilities in this area are described below: FULFILLMENT. We are committed to delivering to our clients' products and services to their customers on a timely and accurate basis. Our personnel pick, pack and ship product orders and requests for promotional, technical and educational literature, signage and point of sale materials for clients. We use several custom-designed, semi-automated packaging and labeling lines to pack and ship products. By utilizing this technology, we are able to reduce labor costs and provide more timely shipments to our clients' customers. We streamline and customize the fulfillment procedures for each client based upon the client request and the tracking, reporting and inventory controls necessary to implement that client's marketing support program. We also offer comprehensive product return services whereby our personnel receive, log, test, repackage and dispose of products that are returned from end-users. PURCHASING MANAGEMENT. For selective clients, we place orders for products we fulfill with vendors chosen by those clients. Our purchasing management services include assisting a client in negotiating product pricing with the vendor, arranging returns and credits as well as forecasting product quantities required for normal business programs or promotions. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT. An integral part of our marketing support services is the monitoring and control of a client's inventory. We provide automated inventory management and reporting to assure real-time stock counts of a client's products, literature, signage and other items. Our inventory systems enable us to provide management information to maintain consistent and timely reorder levels and supply capabilities and also enable the client to quickly assess stock balances, pricing information, reorder levels and inventory values. We offer this information to the client on a real-time basis through our internet gateway or direct system integration. Inventory management data is also utilized in our reporting services. We utilize bar coding equipment in our inventory management systems, which improves the efficiency of stock management and selection. PRODUCT CONSIGNMENT AND WAREHOUSING. For a majority of our clients, we no longer purchase and sell telephones, Caller ID equipment, DSL and cable modems and other telecommunications equipment from third party manufacturers. Instead, we warehouse products on a consignment basis and fulfill equipment on behalf of our customers for a fee. In certain cases, we may purchase and own inventory, but on a significantly reduced risk basis as a result of client guarantees and contractual indemnifications. CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICES Another of our core competencies is providing customer support services. We believe these services are critical to a comprehensive marketing solution. Our customer support services are described below: INBOUND CALL CENTER SERVICES. Our call center representatives take orders for certain clients and resolve questions regarding shipping, billing and order status as well as a variety of other questions. From time to time they may sell equipment, other products, telephone company services and extended warranties to customers who call us. 5 Inquiries generally relate to a customer's purchase of a product or a customer's need for ongoing assistance. These end users dial a support number printed on the product or in the documentation accompanying the product. To handle the call properly, Innotrac's automated call distributor identifies each inbound call by the toll-free number dialed and immediately routes the call to the IVR system or an Innotrac representative. The IVR system attempts to resolve support issues by guiding the customer through a series of interactive questions. If IVR automatic resolution cannot solve the problem, the call is routed to one of our service representatives who are specially trained in the applicable client's business and products and answer using the client's name. Our call center representatives can enter customer information into our call-tracking system, listen to a question and quickly access a proprietary network database using a graphical interface to answer a customer's question. A senior representative is available to provide additional assistance for complex or unique customer questions. Customer requests are generally resolved with a single call, whether answered by a trained representative or our automated systems. As additional product information becomes available over the course of a marketing program, we promptly integrate this information into our database to ensure that IVR and representatives' answers are based upon the latest product information. RETURNS AND REFUNDS PROCESSING. The representatives respond to customer calls about product returns and refunds and obtain information about customer service problems. They facilitate a customer's return of a product by providing a bar-coded label to the customer. When the returned item is processed and entered into our system, it automatically triggers a pre-set action for reshipment of a product or refund to the customer. TECHNOLOGY Our use of technology enables us to design and deliver services for each client's marketing support needs. Our information technology group, or IT Group, has developed our database marketing support and management systems, which utilize a UNIX-based open architecture, comprised of multiple networked computers and anchored by two Hewlett-Packard HP9000 K460 multiprocessing systems. We also have multiple Sun Enterprise 6500 servers utilizing Veritas cluster server software, which provides a high availability computing environment. Veritas Backup software, DLT tape libraries and Oracle Hot backup capabilities allow us to backup our production Oracle databases online without interruption to the business unit. Our burstable bandwidth allows us to quickly increase data capacity. Our EMC storage solutions provide rapid access to data and the ability to scale quickly depending on business demands. Network connectivity is achieved with Cisco routers and local directors. The open architecture of our computer system permits us to seamlessly interact with many different types of client systems. Our IT Group uses this platform to design and implement application software for each client's program, allowing clients to review their programs' progress on-line to obtain real-time comprehensive trend analysis, inventory levels and order status and to instantly alter certain program parameters. As the needs of a client evolve, our IT Group works with our client services team to modify the program on an ongoing basis. Information can be exchanged via direct system integration, EDI, internet access and direct-dial applications. We believe that our technology platform provides us with the resources to continue to offer leading edge services to current and new clients and to integrate our systems with theirs. We believe that the integrity of client information is adequately protected by our data security system and our off-site disaster back-up facilities. We utilize three warehouse management systems depending on our business line and our locations. During 2001, we began the implementation of PKMS, an advanced fulfillment warehouse management system designed to support large volumes of transactions and users, which enable the effective management of high levels of throughput, from receiving through shipping. PKMS will provide efficiencies in inventory management, outbound distribution and task management. We completed implementation of PKMS for all clients at our Pueblo warehouse and for BellSouth Caller ID phone and DSL modem programs in our Atlanta warehouse. Implementation of PKMS for our remaining clients in Atlanta will be completed in 2002. iFulfillment utilizes Optum warehouse management system, which is a highly configurable fulfillment solution for fast-moving, high volume, piece-pick operations suitable for 6 our multi-channel retailers and catalogers. UDS utilizes an internally developed, customized order management, warehouse management and customer relationship management system suitable for its direct marketing and retailer customer base. We believe that these systems allow us to effectively and efficiently manage our warehouse operations to secure a competitive advantage in the fulfillment industry. In 2002, we will begin the conversion of our existing customized order management system ("OMS") to Yantra Distributed OMS in Atlanta. This application will extend our existing supply chain system by managing orders and inventory across multiple divisions, suppliers and marketplaces. Our Pueblo call center utilizes the Rockwell Spectrum Automatic Call Distributor, or ACD, switch to handle call management functions. The ACD system has the capacity to handle approximately 1,200 call center representatives and is currently supporting approximately 220 representatives. Additionally, the ACD system is integrated with software designed to enable management to automatically staff and supervise the call center based on call length and call volume data compiled by the ACD system. Our call center in Reno employs an Aspect ACD Enterprise System switch with the capacity to handle over 1,000 call center representatives and is currently supporting 75 representatives. PERSONNEL AND TRAINING Our success in recruiting, hiring and training large numbers of employees and obtaining large numbers of hourly employees during peak periods for fulfillment and call center operations is critical to our ability to provide high quality marketing support services. Call center representatives and fulfillment personnel receive feedback on their performance on a regular basis and, as appropriate, are recognized for superior performance or given additional training. To maintain good employee relations and to minimize employee turnover, we offer competitive pay and hire primarily full-time employees who are eligible to receive a full range of employee benefits. As of March 8, 2002, we had over 800 employees. Management believes that the demographics surrounding our facilities and our reputation, stability, compensation and benefit plans should allow us to continue to attract and retain qualified employees. Currently, we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. None of our employees are unionized. Although we consider our relationship with our employees to be good, we have experienced occasional unionization initiatives, particularly among our call center personnel. COMPETITION In tailoring services to client needs, we compete on the basis of quality, reliability of service, efficiency, technical capabilities, speed, flexibility and price. We compete with many companies, some of which have greater resources than us, with respect to various portions of our business. Those companies include fulfillment businesses, call center operations and database management firms. We believe that our comprehensive and integrated services differentiate us from many of those competitors. We continuously explore new outsourcing service opportunities, typically in circumstances where clients are experiencing inefficiencies in non-core areas of their businesses and management believes we can develop a superior outsourced solution on a cost-effective basis. We primarily compete with the in-house operations of our current and potential clients and also compete with certain companies that provide similar services on an outsourced basis. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Caller ID services offered by our telecommunications clients are subject to various federal and state regulations. The legality of Caller ID has been challenged in cases decided under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, or the ECPA, and several state statutes. In March 1994, a Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, report preempted certain state regulation of interstate calling party number parameter, or CPN, based services, the technology underlying Caller ID. This report requires certain common carriers to transmit CPN and its associated privacy indicator (which allows telephone 7 callers to block the display of their phone numbers on Caller ID display units) on an interstate call to connecting carriers without charge (the "Free Passage" rule). In connection with this report, the Department of Justice issued a memorandum which concluded that the installation or use of interstate Caller ID service is not prohibited by any federal wiretap statute and that, in general, the FCC has authority to preempt state laws that the FCC finds would hinder federal communications policy on Caller ID services. Court decisions since the FCC issued its March 1994 report have consistently held that Caller ID does not violate any state or federal wiretap statute. In May 1995, the FCC narrowed its March 1994 preemption of state public utilities blocking regulations by permitting subscribers to choose per-line blocking or per-call blocking on interstate calls, provided that all carriers were required to adopt a uniform method of overriding blocking on any particular call. At the same time, the FCC specifically preempted a California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC, per-line blocking default policy, which required that all emergency service organizations and subscribers with nonpublished numbers, who failed to communicate their choice between per-call blocking and per-line blocking, be served with a per-line blocking. The FCC's revised rules and regulations also require carriers to explain to their subscribers that their telephone numbers may be transmitted to the called party and that there is a privacy mechanism (i.e., the "blocking" feature) available on interstate calls, and explain how the mechanism can be activated. The CPUC, seeking to protect the caller's privacy, has ruled that a carrier can offer Caller ID or transmit CPN to interconnecting carriers only upon CPUC approval of its customer notification and education plan. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 introduced restrictions on telecommunications carriers' usage of customer proprietary network information, or CPNI. CPNI includes information that is personal to customers, including where, when and to whom a customer places a call, as well as the types of telecommunications services to which the customer subscribes and the extent these services are used. The FCC interprets the CPNI restrictions to permit telecommunications carriers, including BellSouth and Qwest, to use CPNI without customer approval to market services that are related to the customer's existing service relationship with his or her carrier. Before carriers may use CPNI to market services outside a customer's existing service relationships, the carrier must obtain express customer permission. Because we are dependent upon the efforts of our clients to promote and market their equipment and services, laws and regulations inhibiting those clients' ability to market these equipment and services to their existing customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Telephone sales practices are regulated at both the federal and state level. These regulations primarily relate to outbound teleservices, which we outsource to another company. Outbound teleservices are regulated by the rules of the FCC under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the Federal Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 1994 and various state regulations regarding telephone solicitations. We believe that we are in compliance with these federal statutes and the FCC rules thereunder and the various state regulations and that we would operate in compliance with those rules and regulations if we were to engage in outbound teleservice operations in the future. We work closely with our clients, companies we outsource outbound teleservices to and their respective advisors to ensure that we and our client are in compliance with these regulations. We cannot predict whether the status of the regulation of Caller ID services or e-commerce will change and what effect, if any, this change would have on us or our industry. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We have used the service mark "Innotrac" since 1985 and have registered it and other marks used by us in our business through the US Patent and Trademark Office. The "innotrac.com" domain name has been a registered domain name since 1995. We also own several other internet domain names. Due to the possible use of identical or phonetically similar service marks by other companies in different businesses, there can be no assurance that our service marks will not be challenged by other users. Our operations 8 frequently incorporate proprietary and confidential information. We rely upon a combination of contract provisions and trade secret laws to protect the proprietary technology we use and to deter misappropriation of our proprietary rights and trade secrets. CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements concern the Company's operations, performance and financial condition, including, in particular, the likelihood that Innotrac will succeed in developing and expanding its business, among other things. They are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. Many of these uncertainties are beyond Innotrac's control. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those set forth below. WE RELY ON A SMALL NUMBER OF LARGE CLIENTS. IF WE LOSE ONE OR MORE OF OUR LARGEST CLIENTS, OR IF REVENUES FROM OUR LARGEST CLIENTS DECLINE, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Innotrac focuses on developing long-term relationships with large corporations. In recent years, this focus has been on telecommunications companies. A relatively small number of our clients account for a significant portion of our revenues. Our three largest clients, BellSouth, SBC and Warranty Corporation of America, accounted for an aggregate of approximately 49%, 69% and 91% of net revenues for 2001, 2000 and 1999. If we lose one or more of our largest clients, or if revenues from our largest clients decline, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, if one of these large clients is lost, or revenues from our largest clients decline, we cannot assure you that we will be able to replace or supplement that client with others that generate comparable revenues or profits. As of December 1, 2001, we no longer provided services to SBC, Home Depot or Siemens, which represented approximately 15%, 2% and 1%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. OUR BUSINESS IS CONCENTRATED IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY. IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO DIVERSIFY OUTSIDE OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY, OUR STRATEGY MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AND OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER. Approximately half of our revenues in 2001, and 88% in 2000, were attributable to telecommunications clients. Consequently, we are particularly susceptible to negative changes affecting the telecommunications industry in general. To ameliorate this risk, our strategy depends on diversifying our client base across more industries, including through selective acquisitions. We cannot guarantee, however, that we will be successful in expanding into new industries, or that our services will be as attractive to clients in different industries as they have been to telecommunications companies. Success in diversifying the industry base of our clients depends on a number of factors, such as our sales and marketing efforts, the compatibility of our systems and processes with non-telecommunications clients and the cost of integrating or customizing our services to suit those clients. If we fail to expand our business into new industries, we may not be able to implement our strategy, and our future prospects could be negatively impacted. OUR WRITTEN CONTRACTS GENERALLY DO NOT GUARANTEE SPECIFIC VOLUME LEVELS AND CAN USUALLY BE TERMINATED ON LITTLE NOTICE. Although we have written agreements with most of our clients, our agreements generally do not assure specific volume or revenue levels. In addition, some agreements provide for termination for any reason on short notice. Our current agreement with BellSouth may be terminated by BellSouth for any reason upon 90 days notice. 9 IF THE MARKET FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES CHANGES, OR THE NEW DSL PRODUCTS WE ARE DISTRIBUTING DO NOT ACHIEVE MARKET SUCCESS, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our success depends upon our ability to fulfill advanced telecommunications equipment. Currently, we rely heavily upon the fulfillment of Caller ID equipped telephones and DSL modems to the end user customers of our telecommunications clients for our revenues. We also depend upon these clients to promote Caller ID and DSL services. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if: - the telecommunications products we fulfill and the related services offered by our clients do not gain or sustain marketplace acceptance; - our telecommunications clients fail to adequately promote these products and services; or - our telecommunications clients lose market share. IF THE INTERNET FAILS TO CONTINUE TO GROW, SOME OF OUR CLIENTS MAY NOT SUCCEED AND OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED. Commercial use of the internet is relatively new. Internet and e-commerce usage may be inhibited for a number of reasons, including: - increased government regulation; - insufficient availability, reliability or capacity of telecommunications services; - security and authentication concerns; - difficulty of access; and - inconsistent service quality. We view e-commerce as another channel of distribution. Some of our clients are dependent on the success of the internet either because they use e-commerce as a channel for distribution or they distribute products that facilitate internet usage. During 2001 and 2000, we lost some business due to unsuccessful Internet Service Providers that utilized our service to distribute their DSL modems. If the internet develops as a commercial medium more slowly than we expect, it could also adversely affect our business. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE OR MANAGE OUR GROWTH, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our operations have grown significantly in recent years. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if we cannot effectively manage our growth. Our continued success depends upon our ability to: - initiate, develop and maintain existing and new client relationships; - respond to competitive developments; - continue to develop our sales infrastructure; - attract, train, motivate and retain management and other personnel; and - maintain the high quality of our services. IF THE TREND TOWARD OUTSOURCING DOES NOT CONTINUE, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. We believe there has recently been a significant increase in businesses outsourcing services not directly related to their principal business activities. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if the outsourcing trend declines or reverses, or if corporations bring previously outsourced functions back in-house. Particularly during general economic downturns, businesses may bring in-house previously outsourced functions in order to avoid or delay layoffs. 10 IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RETAIN OR EMPLOY QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING KEY EXECUTIVES, OUR EMPLOYMENT-RELATED COSTS MAY RISE AND OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD SUFFER. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RETAIN OR EMPLOY QUALIFIED MANAGERS. We depend in large part on the abilities and continuing efforts of our executive officers and senior management. Our business and prospects could be materially adversely affected if (1) current officers and managers do not continue in their key roles and we cannot attract and retain qualified replacements or (2) we cannot attract and retain additional qualified personnel to sustain growth. We have employment agreements with our key executive officers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them. We only maintain key man life insurance on Scott D. Dorfman, in the amount of $3.5 million. In order to support growth, we must effectively recruit, develop and retain additional qualified management personnel. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to recruit and retain additional qualified managers. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RETAIN OR EMPLOY OTHER QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES. Our success depends largely on our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain qualified employees. If we cannot do so, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Our industry is very labor-intensive and has experienced high personnel turnover. If our employee turnover rate increases significantly, our recruiting and training costs could rise and our operating effectiveness and productivity could decline. In 2001, we terminated approximately 260 call center employees at our Atlanta and Pueblo facilities and closed our Atlanta call center. New clients or new large-scale marketing support programs may require accelerated recruiting, hiring and training. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to hire, train and retain sufficient qualified personnel to adequately staff new programs or clients. Some of our operations, particularly technical support and customer service, require specially trained personnel. In addition, the unemployment rate in the geographic area where our facilities are located is relatively low. Our need for specially trained personnel and low unemployment rates may make it more difficult and costly to hire and retain qualified personnel. Currently, we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. None of our employees are unionized. Although we consider our relationship with our employees to be good, there have been occasional unionization initiatives at Innotrac, particularly among our call center personnel. If our employees were to join unions, we could incur increased wages, employee benefits and employment-related administrative costs. A significant portion of our operating expenses relates to labor costs. Therefore, an increase in wages or employee benefits could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. COMPETITION MAY HURT OUR BUSINESS. We operate in highly competitive markets and expect this environment to persist and intensify in the future. Because our marketing support services comprise marketing and product consultation, sales channel management, fulfillment and back-end support, including our call center operations and returns processing, we have many competitors who offer one or more of these services. Our competitors include: - in-house marketing support operations of our current and potential clients; - other firms offering specific services, like fulfillment and call center operations; and - large marketing support services firms. A number of our competitors have developed or may develop financial and other resources greater than ours. Additional competitors with greater name recognition and resources may enter our markets. Our existing or potential clients' in-house operations are also significant competitors. Our performance and growth could be negatively impacted if: 11 - existing clients decide to provide, in-house, services they currently outsource; - potential clients retain or increase their in-house capabilities; or - existing clients consolidate their outsourced services with other companies. In addition, competitive pressures from current or future competitors could result in significant price erosion, which could in turn materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Subsequent to 2001, negotiations of contract renewals with BellSouth, Warranty Corporation of America and Nordstrom.com have resulted in price concessions due to increased competitive pressures. For more information about our competition, see "Business--Competition" in this Item 1. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH CHANGING TECHNOLOGY, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our success depends significantly upon our ability to: - enhance existing services; - develop applications to focus on our clients' needs; and - introduce new services and products to respond to technological developments. If we fail to maintain our technological capabilities or respond effectively to technological changes, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will select, invest in and develop new and enhanced technology on a timely basis in the future in order to meet our clients' needs and maintain competitiveness. We provide details about our technology in "Business--Technology" in this Item 1. OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE, WHICH MAY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SWINGS IN THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK. Our operating results may fluctuate in the future based on many factors. These factors include, among other things: - changes in the telecommunications industry; - changes in the marketing support services industry; - changes in the timing and level of client-specific marketing programs, including the timing and nature of promotions; - pricing pressure; - increased competition; and - changes in customer purchasing patterns for products we fulfill. Due to these and any unforeseen factors, it is possible that in some future quarter our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. If that variance occurs, our common stock price would likely decline materially. OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION, WHICH MAY LIMIT OUR ACTIVITIES OR INCREASE OUR COSTS. In connection with any outbound telemarketing services that we provide, we must comply with federal and state regulations. These include the Federal Communications Commission's rules under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 and the Federal Trade Commission's regulations under the Federal Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 1994, both of which govern telephone solicitation. If we conduct outbound telemarketing services, these rules and regulations would apply to that portion of our business. 12 Furthermore, there may be additional federal and state legislation or changes in regulatory implementation. These changes could include interpretations under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 restricting the ability of telecommunications companies to use consumer proprietary network information, or CPNI. New legislation or regulatory implementation in the future may significantly increase compliance costs or limit our activities, our clients' activities or the activities of companies to which we outsource outbound telemarketing functions. Additionally, we could be responsible for failing to comply with regulations applicable to our clients or companies to which we outsource telemarketing. If unfavorable federal or state legislation or regulations affecting Caller ID service, internet service or other technology related to products we fulfill and provide customer support for are adopted, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. See "Business -- Government Regulation" in this Item 1 for further information about government regulation of our business. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO INTEGRATE ACQUIRED BUSINESSES SUCCESSFULLY AND REALIZE ANTICIPATED ECONOMIC, OPERATIONAL AND OTHER BENEFITS IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR PROFITABILITY MAY DECREASE. If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully, we may incur substantial costs and delays in increasing our customer base. In addition, the failure to integrate acquisitions successfully may divert management's attention from Innotrac's existing business and may damage Innotrac's relationship with its key customers and suppliers. Integration of an acquired business may be more difficult when we acquire a business in a market in which we have little or no expertise, or with a corporate culture different from Innotrac's. 13 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF REGISTRANT The executive officers of Innotrac are as follows:

PROPERTIES Our headquarters and fulfillment facilities are located in 250,000 square feet of leased space in Duluth, Georgia. Our corporate offices occupy 50,000 square feet of this facility and the remaining 200,000 square feet is fulfillment space. This site also includes approximately 3.5 acres that will be available for Innotrac's expansion requirements, if required. The lease for our Duluth facility commenced in October 1998 and has a term of 10 years with two five-year renewal options. The lease provides for an option to purchase the facility at the end of the first five years of the term or at the end of the first 10 years of the term. We have not yet determined whether to exercise this purchase option. As a result of the loss of the SBC contract, we elected to close our call center operations in Duluth, Georgia in January 2002 and shifted our Atlanta clients to our call center facility in Pueblo, Colorado. The lease will expire in May 2002. In June 1999, we entered into a lease for a new facility in Pueblo, Colorado with an initial term of five years with two five-year renewal options. The facility provides approximately 87,000 square feet of floor space. Approximately 45,000 square feet is used as a call center, as well as quality assurance, administrative, training and management space. This call center supports 390 workstations and utilizes 220 of the workstations at present. It currently operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The remaining 42,000 square feet is used for fulfillment. In October 1999, we entered into a lease for a facility in Duluth, Georgia with an initial term of five years with one three-year renewal option. In August 2000, the Company filed a lease extension and modification that expanded the facility space from approximately 52,000 square feet to 82,000 square feet. This lease extension has a four-year term. This facility provides floor space for our literature fulfillment business. With the acquisition of UDS, located in Reno, Nevada, in December 2000, we operate a facility that consists of over 275,000 square feet and includes a call center that can support 250 workstations. UDS leases this facility through two lease agreements, which were initiated in August 1999 and October 2000. These agreements have lease terms of three years and seven years, respectively. Currently, the call center is configured with approximately 120 workstations. At this time, the call center operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The remainder of the facility is used for fulfillment. With the acquisition of iFulfillment, we operate a 354,000 square foot facility in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The lease for this facility was initiated at the date of acquisition in July 2001 and expires on December 31, 2002. This lease contains two five-year renewal options. This facility is used for fulfillment. 15 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not a party to any material legal proceeding. We are, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of our business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Report. 16 PART II ITEM 5.

The approximate number of holders of record of Common Stock as of March 18, 2002 was 71. The approximate number of beneficial holders of our Common Stock as of that date was 2080. The Company has never declared cash dividends on the Common Stock. The Company intends to retain its earnings to finance the expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends will depend upon such factors as earnings, capital requirements, the Company's financial condition, restrictions in financing agreements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. The payment of dividends by the Company is restricted by its revolving credit facility. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES The Company acquired UDS through a merger on December 8, 2000. In connection with the merger, the Company issued 150,000 shares of its unregistered Common Stock to two shareholders of UDS, in exchange for their UDS shares, and a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock to a customer of UDS, in exchange for the customer's waiver of a right of first refusal with respect to UDS. Based on a formula for valuing the stock consideration paid by the Company set forth in the merger agreement, the total value of the shares of Common Stock issued to UDS's shareholders in connection with the merger was $742,500. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to the warrant is $6.50. The warrant is exercisable from December 8, 2001 through December 8, 2010, inclusive, based on a vesting schedule of 20% per year for the first 5 years that the warrant is outstanding. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the former shareholders of UDS may receive, as part of the consideration paid for their shares, annual contingent payments ("earnouts") based on the operating income generated by the Company's UDS Division over a three-year period that commenced December 1, 2000. Based on an agreement reached between the Company and one former UDS shareholder, such shareholder agreed to receive a portion of their "earnout" for the first year of the earnout period in the form of 310,000 shares of unregistered Common Stock. These shares were issued on February 1, 2002 and were valued at $5.00 per share for purposes of the earnout. The shares issued in connection with the merger and earnout were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration contained in Sections 4(2) and/or 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In determining that such exemptions were available, the Company relied upon certain representations and certifications made by the UDS 17 shareholders and the UDS customer. The description of the terms of the merger agreement herein is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the merger agreement, filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. ITEM 6.
