BUSINESS Innotrac Corporation ("Innotrac" or the "Company"), founded in 1984 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, provides order processing, order fulfillment and call center 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, Innotrac strives to improve the quality of the non-core operations of our clients and to reduce their overall operating costs. Innotrac receives most of their clients' orders either through inbound call center services, electronic data interchange ("EDI") or the internet. On a same day basis, depending on product availability, the Company picks, packs, verifies and ships the item, tracks inventory levels through an automated, integrated perpetual inventory system, warehouses data and handles customer support inquiries. Innotrac's core competencies include: - Fulfillment Services: - sophisticated warehouse management technology - automated shipping solutions - real-time inventory tracking and order status - purchasing and inventory management - channel development - zone skipping for shipment cost reduction - product sourcing and procurement - packaging solutions - back-order management - returns management - 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 - collaborative chat - intuitive e-mail response The Company is a major provider of fulfillment and customer support services to the telecommunications industry. In spite of a significant contraction and consolidation in this industry in the past several years, the Company continues to provide customer support services and fulfillment of consumer telephones and wireless pager equipment ("Telecommunications products") and Digital Subscriber Line and Cable Modems ("Modems") for clients such as BellSouth Corporation ("BellSouth"), Qwest Communications International, Inc. ("Qwest") and Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") and their customers. The Company also provides a variety of these services for a significant number of retail, catalog and direct marketing companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, Ann Taylor Retail, Inc., Smith & Hawken, Ltd., Tactica International, Inc., Porsche Cars North America, Inc., Nordstrom.com LLC, Wilsons Leather Direct, Inc., Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., and Thane International. We take orders for our 2 retail, catalog and direct marketing clients via the internet, through a customer service representative at our Pueblo and Reno call centers or through direct electronic transmission from our clients. These orders are processed through one of our order management systems and then transmitted to one of our seven fulfillment centers located across the country and are shipped to the end consumer or retail store location, as applicable, typically within 24 hours of when the order is received. Inventory is held on a consignment basis, with minor exceptions, and includes items such as shoes, clothing, accessories, books and outdoor furniture. The Company also provides these services for business-to-business ("B2B") clients including Books are Fun, Ltd. (a subsidiary of Readers' Digest), NAPA and The Walt Disney Company. The following table sets forth the percentage of revenues generated by the Company's various business lines during 2003 and 2002: 2003 2002 Telecommunications products 23.0% 26.5% Modems 19.4 19.3 Retail/Catalog 27.4 20.2 Direct Marketing 18.0 27.0 B2B 12.2 7.0 ----- ----- 100.0% 100.0% ===== =====
In order to reduce our industry and client concentration and to expand our national presence, in December 2000, we acquired Universal Distribution Services ("UDS"). Our UDS division provides integrated order processing, order management, fulfillment and customer relationship management services. UDS's customer base comprises traditional direct marketing companies including Thane International and Tactica International, Inc. It is located in a 275,000 square foot facility in Reno, Nevada. During 2001, we expanded UDS's business by taking advantage of our East Coast capabilities. Under the terms of Innotrac's merger agreement with UDS, the former shareholders of UDS could 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 $13.7 million in cash and 310,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to this arrangement. No earnout amounts were earned in the second and third years. In July 2001, to further our strategy to diversify our industry and client concentration, we acquired iFulfillment, Inc. ("iFulfillment"). Our iFulfillment subsidiary specializes in fully integrated, automated, order fulfillment services for multi-channel retailers and catalogers including such clients as Nordstrom.com LLC, Wilsons Leather Direct, Inc. and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. It is located in a 354,000 square foot leased facility in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Due to the addition of a sizable new client in September 2002, we leased an additional 150,204 square feet in a nearby facility, which was expanded by 54,103 square feet in April 2003. This new facility has expansion space of an additional 51,254 square feet that we have an option to lease in the future. There are no immediate plans to exercise that option. In August 2002 we leased a 396,000 square foot fulfillment center near Cincinnati, in Hebron, Kentucky. This facility provides fulfillment for Smith & Hawken, Ltd. Capital expenditures associated with this facility were approximately $4.6 million and were funded through our bank line of credit. With our national footprint virtually complete, we are committed to deeper penetration within our existing business lines and 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 diverse industries. We will continue to seek new clients and may open additional facilities in other geographic locations to service these needs. 3 FULFILLMENT SERVICES Providing effective turnkey fulfillment solutions for our clients' products is our primary business. Our capabilities in this area are described below: FULFILLMENT. We are committed to delivering our clients' products to their customers on a timely and accurate basis. Our personnel pick, pack, verify and ship product orders and requests for promotional, technical and educational literature, shoes, clothing, electronic equipment, accessories, books and outdoor furniture for our clients. We use several custom-designed, semi-automated packaging and labeling lines to pack and ship products as well as highly automated, conveyorized systems utilizing RF scanning and pick-to-light technologies. By utilizing these technologies, 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. Our Atlanta operations earned ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2002 and our Hebron, Kentucky operations earned ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2003. We are dedicated to providing quality service to our clients at every step in the fulfillment process. To ensure order accuracy, shipment inspection and system driven validation are performed to prove the contents exactly match the order prior to shipment. In addition, we have highly sensitive scales at the end of our packaging lines that also assist in ensuring the accuracy of every order. Our 2003 order accuracy rate exceeded 99.5%. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT. An integral part of our fulfillment 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 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. We also perform cycle counts throughout the year to check system-maintained item balances against physical item balances. Our facilities have several layers of security. When necessary, we dispose of clients' products utilizing established guidelines. Disposal procedures vary depending on the product and client business rules. PURCHASING MANAGEMENT. For certain 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. PRODUCT CONSIGNMENT AND WAREHOUSING. For substantially all of our clients, we warehouse products on a consignment basis and fulfill orders on behalf of our customers for a fee. In certain cases (primarily BellSouth), 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 order processing and order fulfillment solution. Our customer support services are described below. INBOUND CALL CENTER SERVICES. Our customer service 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 and telephone company services to customers who call us. To properly handle the call, Innotrac's automated call distributor identifies each inbound call by the toll-free number dialed and immediately routes the call to the interactive voice response ("IVR") system 4 or an Innotrac customer service representative. If the caller is placing an order they are immediately transmitted to a customer service representative trained to take the order and enter it into our systems for transmittal to the appropriate fulfillment center. If the customer has a question, complaint or needs return information, the IVR system attempts to resolve these 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 customer service representatives who are specially trained in the applicable client's business and products and answer using the client's name. Our customer service 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 service representatives are also trained to handle introductory level technical support issues. Customer requests are generally resolved with a single call, whether answered by a trained representative or our automated systems. 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 fulfillment and customer support needs. Our information technology group, or IT Group, has developed our database marketing support and management systems. Innotrac has a technical integration platform written in Java over an Oracle database, which contains a complete web interface and XML-based APIs that allows clients to transact with us electronically. We deploy the solution running on Sun Solaris and 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 two primary warehouse management systems depending on our business line and our locations. In 2002, we completed the implementation of PKMS for clients at our Pueblo, Atlanta and Chicago-Romeoville warehouses. PKMS is 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 provides efficiencies in inventory management, outbound distribution and task management. Our Chicago-Bolingbrook and Cincinnati-Hebron facilities utilize an Optum warehouse management system, which is a highly configurable fulfillment solution for fast-moving, high volume, piece-pick operations suitable for our multi-channel retailers and catalogers. Our Reno facility utilizes an internally developed system, described below, suitable for its direct marketing 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. 5 As part of our UDS acquisition in December 2000 we acquired their internally-developed, customized order management system ("OMS") that is fully integrated with a customized warehouse management solution and includes front-end customer relationship management ("CRM") capabilities. In addition to existing Reno clients, in 2002, we added Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Smith & Hawken to that system. As part of the migration of those two new clients onto the system we added the requisite functionality and customization. The customized nature of the system required significant resources to properly scale the system to meet our clients' needs and resulted in a considerable increase in IT costs in 2002. These costs returned to normalized levels in 2003. 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 as of December 31, 2003 was supporting approximately 252 representatives. Additionally, the ACD system is integrated with software designed to enable management to 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 and is currently supporting approximately 50 representatives. Our integrated systems allow the customer service representatives to enter orders received via telephone into their computer which transmits the data over T1 lines to one of our seven fulfillment centers' order management systems where it is processed. Shortly thereafter the product is picked, packed, verified and shipped to the customer. 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 fulfillment and customer 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. Additional training is provided to all fulfillment center employees quarterly and to our call center representatives on an as-needed basis. 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 1, 2004, we had over 800 full time employees supported by part time staff on an as-needed basis. 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. COMPETITION In tailoring services to client needs, we compete on the basis of quality, reliability of service, scope of locations, efficiency, technical capabilities, speed 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 and call center operations. 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 6 certain common carriers to transmit CPN and its associated privacy indicator (which allows telephone 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 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, in most cases, we outsource to another company. The few cases where Innotrac does conduct outbound teleservices are related solely to the support of our clients with catalog sales programs, and thus are exempt from the regulations most commonly associated with outbound teleservices. 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 as amended 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 affect, if any, this change would have on us or our industry. 7 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 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 contractual relationships with large corporations. A relatively small number of our clients account for a significant portion of our revenues. 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. 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. Furthermore, we are contractually bound to our facility leases until their term expires. If a client terminates their contract suddenly, we will still have an obligation under our leases. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS IS CONCENTRATED IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY, INCLUDING DSL AND CABLE MODEMS. Approximately 42% of our revenues in 2003 and approximately 46% of our revenues in 2002 were attributable to Telecommunications products and Modems clients. Consequently, we are particularly susceptible to negative changes affecting these industries in general. The telecommunications industry has suffered a material downturn since mid-2000 which has had a significant negative impact on our business. To ameliorate this risk, we have been diversifying our client base across more industries and clients, including through selective acquisitions. We cannot guarantee, however, that the telecommunications industry will strengthen in 2004 or not deteriorate further, or that our diversification strategy will be successful. 8 A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS IS CONCENTRATED IN THE DIRECT RESPONSE INDUSTRY. Approximately 18% of our revenues in 2003 and approximately 27% of our revenues in 2002 were attributable primarily to clients in the direct response industry. Consequently, we are particularly susceptible to negative changes that impact this industry and our clients in particular, including potential false advertising product claims and Federal Trade Commission regulation and enforcement. The direct response industry has suffered a material downturn since the third quarter of 2001, which has had a significant negative impact on our business. This general downturn has significantly weakened the financial strength and wherewithal of companies in this sector which increases our risk pertaining to future business, growth and the collectibility of accounts receivable from our existing clients. If any of our existing direct response clients were to default on their amounts due Innotrac, this would result in a material charge against earnings. One of theses clients has a material past due balance, although a significant reserve has been established at December 31, 2003 to help mitigate this risk. Additionally, it has been announced that one of our direct response clients is for sale. The impact of a change in ownership of this client could have a material impact on our results of operations in the future. COMPETITION MAY HURT OUR BUSINESS. We operate in highly competitive and price sensitive markets and expect this environment to persist and intensify in the future. Because our 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: - existing clients demand and receive pricing concessions; - 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. 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: - integrate new clients in a timely and cost efficient manner; - enhance existing services; - develop applications to meet 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 9 future in order to meet our clients' needs and maintain competitiveness. Our Reno systems, which house several of our largest clients, are completely customized and therefore not supported by third party providers. We are heavily reliant on a few developers. If these developers leave, it could materially adversely affect our business. 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 retail industry; - changes in the fulfillment and call center services industries; - changes in the timing and level of client-specific marketing programs, including the timing and nature of promotions; - changes in our existing client base; - pricing pressure or concessions; - increased competition; and - changes in customer purchasing patterns for products we fulfill. Due to these and any other 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 COMMON STOCK LACKS LIQUIDITY AND IS HELD BY A SMALL NUMBER OF INVESTORS. As of December 31, 2003, Innotrac officers and directors owned approximately 55% of the outstanding common stock. Two institutional shareholders, IPOF Fund and Dimensional Fund Advisors, held 25.5% and 5.4%, respectively. These ownership positions have resulted in a lack of liquidity in our common stock. Additionally, if any of Innotrac's significant shareholders decided to liquidate its position, our common stock price would likely decline materially. IF OUR GOODWILL IS DEEMED IMPAIRED AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL (OR EARLIER) IMPAIRMENT TEST, THE IMPAIRMENT CHARGE WOULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN OUR EARNINGS AND NET WORTH. Current accounting rules require that goodwill no longer be amortized but be tested for impairment at least annually. We have a significant amount of goodwill which, based upon a negative outcome of any impairment test in the future, could result in the write-down of all or a portion of goodwill and a corresponding reduction in earnings and net worth. NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY OF THE COVENANTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT ALLOWS THE LENDER TO DECLARE ANY OUTSTANDING BORROWING AMOUNTS TO BE IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE. Our revolving line of credit agreement contains various restrictive financial and change of ownership control covenants. Noncompliance with any of the covenants allows the lender to declare any outstanding borrowing amounts to be immediately due and payable. At December 31, 2003 we were not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00 or the tangible net worth covenant of $34 million. However, we have received waivers relating to these covenants at December 31, 2003. The fixed charge 10 coverage ratio covenant has been reduced to 1.30 to 1.00 in all future periods and the tangible net worth covenant has been reduced to $24 million. DUE TO THE NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF UNSKILLED LABOR AND A HIGH TURNOVER RATE THEREBY INCREASING OUR EXPOSURE TO EMPLOYEE RELATED LITIGATION. Our fulfillment and call centers employ a sizable amount of unskilled labor and generate a high turnover rate. Furthermore, due to the downturn in the economy and its adverse affects on our business, we have had to terminate employees from time to time. Our exposure to litigation as a result of employee matters has recently increased. We are currently involved in litigation associated with several employee related matters. Management believes this litigation is currently immaterial, though it could become material in the future. IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE TO MANAGE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND VOLUME GROWTH, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. Our operations, number of facilities and volume of packages shipped 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; - maintain pricing and margins; - 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. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if the trend of businesses outsourcing services not directly related to their principal business activities 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. OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION, WHICH MAY LIMIT OUR ACTIVITIES OR INCREASE OUR COSTS. In connection with the limited amount of 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. When we conduct outbound telemarketing services, these rules and regulations would apply to that portion of our business. 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, 11 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. 12 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF REGISTRANT The executive officers of Innotrac are as follows:

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. In June 1999, we entered into a lease for a 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 370 workstations of which we utilized 252 at December 31, 2003. It currently operates from 5:00am MST to 11:00pm MST seven days per week. The remaining 42,000 square feet is used for fulfillment services. The initial term of this lease expires in September, 2004. We are currently in discussions with the landlord pertaining to this renewal. No decision has yet been made regarding exercising a renewal option. In October 1999, we entered into a lease for an additional fulfillment facility in Duluth, Georgia with an initial term of five years with one three-year renewal option. In August 2000, the Company entered into a lease extension and modification that expanded the facility space from approximately 52,000 square feet to 82,000 square feet. This lease expires in January, 2005. 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 administrative office space, a 250,000 square foot fulfillment center and a call center that can support 200 workstations. UDS leases this facility through two lease agreements, which were initiated in October 2002 and October 2000. These agreements have lease terms of five years and seven years, respectively. Currently, the call center is configured with approximately 150 workstations, of which 50 were being utilized at December 31, 2003. The call center operates from 5:00 am PST to 8:00 pm PST Monday through Friday and 6:00 am PST to 2:30 pm PST Saturday and Sunday. 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 we renewed for an additional five years, at a lower monthly rental rate, commencing January 1, 2003. This lease contains one additional five-year renewal option. This facility is used exclusively for fulfillment services and contains approximately 40,000 square feet of administrative office space. In August 2002, we entered into a lease for a new facility in Hebron, Kentucky with an initial term of five years with two renewal options; the first for one year and the second for three years. The facility provides approximately 396,000 square feet of fulfillment and warehouse space. This facility is fully occupied by our client, Smith & Hawken. 14 In September 2002, we entered into a lease for a new facility in Romeoville, Illinois with an initial term of five years and two months with two five-year renewal options. The facility provides approximately 204,307 square feet of fulfillment and warehouse space, of which approximately 175,000 is currently under lease. This facility is utilized exclusively by our client, Books Are Fun. 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. Our fulfillment and call centers employ a sizable amount of unskilled labor and generate a high turnover rate. Furthermore, due to the downturn in the economy and its adverse affects on our business, we have had to terminate employees from time to time. Our exposure to litigation as a result of employee matters has increased. Although, 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, it is possible that such litigation and the related cost could become material in the future. 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. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS The Company's Common Stock trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "INOC".

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. Item 12 of Part III contains information concerning the Company's equity compensation plans. 15 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The information contained under the heading "Selected Financial Data" in the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, filed as an exhibit hereto, is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The information contained under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, filed as an exhibit hereto, is incorporated herein by reference. OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. AGGREGATE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The following table sets forth the Company's contractual commitments by period. There are no additional purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities other than those reflected below. For additional information, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements (in 000's).
Payments Due by Period ------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 4-5 years After 5 years ------- ---------------- --------- --------- ------------- Capital leases $ 151 $ 95 $ 56 $ -- $ -- Operating leases 27,844 7,779 13,514 6,551 -- Line of credit (1) 11,802 -- 11,802 -- --
(1) The provisions of the revolving line of credit agreement requires that the Company maintain a lockbox arrangement with the lender and allows the lender to declare any outstanding borrowing amounts to be immediately due and payable as a result of noncompliance with any of the covenants. Accordingly, in the event of noncompliance, these amounts could be accelerated. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES OR ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures 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. The Company makes estimates each reporting period associated with its reserve for uncollectible accounts. This estimate is based on the aging of the receivables. One direct marketing client, with a substantial past due balance at December 31, 2003, entered into a payment arrangement with Innotrac in February 2004 that would eliminate its past due amounts during the first half of 2004. Payments of approximately $1 million towards this past due amount were received during February and March, 2004. In spite of these arrangements and subsequent payments, and due primarily to the financial condition, payment history and aging of the receivables of this client, the Company still determined it prudent to establish a specific reserve of $1.1 million for this account at December 31, 2003. Management will continue to access the level of reserve needed against this account quarterly. The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial and tax bases of assets and 16 liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if the Company considers it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance has been recognized for the full amount of the $9.9 million deferred tax asset as losses in recent years create uncertainty about the realization of the tax benefits in future years. Income taxes associated with future earnings will be offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance. When, and if, the Company can return to consistent profitability and management determines that it will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets prior to their expiration, then the valuation allowance can be reduced or eliminated. Innotrac has a tax net operating loss carryforward of $31.5 million at December 31, 2003 that expires between 2020 and 2023. With the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" effective January 1, 2002, the Company tests goodwill annually for impairment at January 1 or sooner if circumstances indicate. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Upon completion of its analysis for impairment in the first quarter of 2003 and again in the first quarter of 2004 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, no impairment was determined to exist at those times.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The information contained under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, filed as an exhibit hereto, is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The information contained under the headings "Report of Independent Auditors" and "Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, filed as an exhibit hereto, is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE On April 22, 2002 the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, dismissed its independent accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, and appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent accountants, effective April 22, 2002. This matter was previously reported on a Form 8-K filed April 24, 2002. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in federal securities rules) as of December 31, 2003. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. Our disclosure controls and procedures however are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Based on the evaluation discussed above, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of that evaluation to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Innotrac's internal control over financial reporting. 17 PART III ITEM 10.
