SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

 

 

The following table shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 and the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of potential dilutive common stock (in thousands, except per share data.) Options outstanding to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 because their effect would be anti-dilutive if exercised.

SPECIAL CHARGES

 

 

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred special charges of $15.9 million. The majority of the charge was associated with the Company's migration towards fee for service business and included charges for inventory, accounts receivable and other items. This charge equated to ($0.85) loss per share.

 

 

4.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

 

 

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 ("SFAS 138"), "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 138 addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties for numerous entities that apply SFAS No 133 and amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In management's opinion, the impact of adopting SFAS 133 and 138 will not have a material impact upon the Company's results of operations or financial position.

 

 

 

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB No.101"), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB No. 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. An amendment in June 2000 delayed the effective date until the fourth quarter of 2000. Management believes that the Company's revenue recognition practices are in conformity with the guidelines prescribed in SAB No. 101.

 

 


ITEM 2 --

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements that are subject to conditions that are beyond the control of the Company. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the reliance on a small number of major clients; risks associated with buying, warehousing and owning products for customers; risks associated with the terms of our contracts; risks of entering new lines of businesses, particularly e-commerce; reliance on the telecommunications industry; the impact of the trend toward outsourcing; risks associated with changing technology; risks associated with competition; risks associated with fluctuations in operating and quarterly results; compliance with government regulation; and other factors discussed in more detail under "Business" in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


Overview

Innotrac provides customized, technology-based marketing support and fulfillment services to large corporations that outsource these functions. Since 1994, the Company has a high focus on the telecommunications industry because of its growth characteristics and increasing marketing needs. The Company provides marketing support services and fulfillment of Caller ID equipped telephones and Digital Subscriber Line Modems ("DSL modems"), and other telecommunications products to BellSouth, Pacific Bell, Southwestern Bell, Ameritech Services, Inc., Bell Atlantic and Qwest and their customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's three largest clients represented 78.5% and 89.5% of total revenues, respectively. During 2000, the Company began a major initiative to expand customer distribution channels through e-commerce to diversify its client base. The Company's e-commerce clients include the Coca-Cola Company, Kodak, Haggar, and Ocean Pacific, amongst others.

The Company has begun to convert its clients to a fee for service model. For a majority of our clients, the Company will no longer purchase and sell Caller ID equipped phones, DSL modems and other telecommunications equipment from third party manufacturers. Instead, the Company will warehouse products on a consignment basis and fulfill equipment on behalf of our customers for a fee. In certain cases, the Company may purchase and own inventory, but on a significantly reduced risk basis as a result of client guarantees and contractual indemnifications. Management believes that this new model will substantially reduce revenues as pass through cost of purchased equipment will no longer be included in revenues; however, since the Company will no longer have inventory risk or cost of equipment, gross margins, and more importantly, operating cash flows should improve.

The Company receives most of its 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 and level one technical inquiries.

On May 17, 2000, the Company 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 is the first full-service returns portal supported by the convenience of 3,400 physical locations. Customers returning merchandise purchased online, or by catalog or phone, can simply take the item to any participating MBE location in the U.S. for packaging and shipping. Return.com's Instacredit ™ service, available early next year, will allow many customers to receive authorization for an immediate merchandise credit on their credit card-rather than waiting weeks for the return to be processed by the merchant.

Return.com operates a Web portal that leverages MBE's locations and Innotrac's customer care centers and reverse logistics operations. Information from all of these entities is entered into Return.com's database, enabling quick, accurate and informative customer service. When buyers wish to return merchandise, they simply click on the Return.com icon on the merchant's Web site, go directly to the Return.com portal or call a toll-free number. Return.com then verifies the information about the merchandise to be returned, and direct the customer to a MBE location where an Instacredit will be authorized and the returned merchandise will be dropped off for shipping. The merchant can then have the return sent to either its warehouse, Innotrac or to the manufacturer, or sold through the Return.com disposition network.

Innotrac has invested $3.0 million in this subsidiary and has committed to fund an additional $3.0 million when needed. MBE has invested $1.0 million, through October 2000, and has the right to invest an additional $3.0 million through December 31, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, Innotrac owned 86% of this subsidiary. However, should MBE elect to further invest, the Company's ownership position could be diluted down to as low as 60%. Management anticipates that further investment by MBE will occur, but there are no guarantees or requirements. As a result of this ownership structure, the Company has consolidated the results of operations and financial position of Return.com in the attached condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects Return.com to generate significant operating losses for the balance of 2000 and into 2001.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred special charges of $15.9 million. The majority of the charges were associated with the Company's migration towards fee for service business and included charges for inventory, accounts receivable and other items.

 


Results of Operations

The following table sets forth unaudited summary operating data, expressed as a percentage of revenues, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1999

Revenues. The Company's net revenues decreased 2.7% to $50.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $51.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in revenue is consistent with the Company's switch to a fee for service model offset by an increase in DSL modems fulfilled.

Cost of Revenues. The Company's cost of revenues increased 3.3% to $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $37.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Cost of revenues increased primarily due to an increase in outbound telemarketing costs to obtain sales plus a slight increase in fulfillment center labor.

Gross Margin. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's gross margin decreased 18.1% to $11.7 million compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to the increase in outbound telemarketing costs and the slight increase in fulfillment center labor.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. S,G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased 9.6% to $10.3 million or 20.5% of revenues compared to $9.4 million or 18.2% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to significant investments, beyond normal levels, being expended on information technology during 2000 to complete the Company's migration to a new fully integrated warehouse management, procurement, inventory, billing and general ledger system. Management expects such expenditures to return to normal levels in 2001. Additionally, S,G&A expenses in 2000 include costs associated with the Company's subsidiary, Return.com, which was formed in May 2000.

Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 39.5%.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999

Revenues. The Company's net revenues decreased 15.6% to $149.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $176.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in revenue is consistent with the Company's switch to a fee for service model, offset by an increase in DSL modems fulfilled.

Cost of Revenues. The Company's cost of revenues decreased 10.2% to $117.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $131.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. Cost of revenues decreased primarily due to the decrease in units sold and fulfilled by the Company.

Special charges. The Company recorded special charges of $7.5 million for inventory writedowns and write-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2000.

Gross Margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's gross margin decreased 47.6% to $23.8 million compared to $45.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to special charges of $7.5 million plus the decrease in units sold and fulfilled. Exclusive of the special charges, gross margins decreased to 21.0% of net revenues from 25.7% of net revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. S,G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased 7.7% to $29.0 million or 19.4% of revenues compared to $26.9 million or 15.3% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is due to a significant investment, beyond normal levels, being expended on information technology during 2000 to complete the Company's migration to a new fully integrated warehouse management, procurement, inventory, billing and general ledger system. Management expects such expenditures to return to normal levels in 2001. Additionally, S,G&A expenses in 2000 include costs associated with the Company's subsidiary, Return.com, which was formed in May 2000.

Special charges. The Company recorded special charges of $8.4 million for accounts receivable and other write-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The majority of the special charges were related to the fee for service conversion, as previously discussed.

Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 39.5%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds its operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash flow from operations and borrowings under a credit facility with a bank and, from time to time, equity offerings. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.4 million at September 30, 2000, including $3.0 million, that is committed to the startup and development of Return.com. The Company maintains a $40.0 million revolving line of credit with a bank, maturing in June 2002. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the Company's option at the bank's prime rate, as adjusted from time to time, or LIBOR plus up to 225 basis points. At September 30, 2000, the interest rate on the line of credit was 7.88%, and the weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 7.49%. At September 30, 2000, there was no outstanding balance under the line of credit.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company generated $32.8 million in cash flow from operating activities compared to the use of $31.4 million in cash flow from operating activities in the same period in 1999. The generation of cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the use of cash flow from operating activities in the same period in 1999 was due primarily to the decrease in inventory levels attributable to the Company's migration towards a fee for service business model, decrease in accounts receivable and the timing of various payables.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net cash used in investing activities was $9.1 million in 2000 as compared to $3.8 million in 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase in technology purchases for e-commerce applications and internal systems development.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the net cash used in financing activities was $6.2 million compared to $32.4 million provided by financing activities in the same period in 1999. This use of cash was primarily due to repayments of borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

The Company estimates that its cash and financing needs through 2000 will be met by cash flows from operations and its line of credit facility. The Company may need to raise additional funds in order to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, such as acquisitions of complementary businesses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

Gamsey Chief Financial Officer Innotrac Corporation 6655 Sugarloaf Parkway Duluth, Georgia 30097 Dear David: In response to your request, SouthTrust Bank grants a modification/waiver and consent of the outlined covenants contained in the Amended Loan and Security Agreement between Innotrac Corporation and SouthTrust Bank: 12.2 Tangible Net Worth ------------------ Currently this covenant requires that tangible net worth shall increase annually over the amount as of the prior fiscal year end. The waiver of this covenant is for Fiscal Year 2000. The modification also specifically allows the exclusion of the affect of the special charge the company took in June, 2000, from future calculations for this covenant. 12.3 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio --------------------------- Currently, this covenant requires that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio be at least 1.2:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter, on a rolling four quarters basis. The waiver of this covenant is for Fiscal Year 2000. The modification also specifically allows the exclusion of the affect of the special charge the company took in June, 2000, from future calculations for this covenant. 13.5 Stock Redemptions ----------------- Currently, the purchase or redemption of stock is restricted if there is an Event of Default. Given the covenant violations mentioned herein, we have obtained a waiver of this covenant to permit the $5,000,000 stock buy-back currently approved by your Board of Directors. 13.6 Restricted Investment --------------------- Currently, this covenant restricts investments except for normal business purposes or for investment in certain securities or accounts.

Exhibit 10.2

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this 31st day of August, 2000, by and between SCOTT D. DORFMAN, an individual resident of the State of Georgia ("Employee"), and INNOTRAC CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (the "Employer").

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into an agreement for the Company's continued employment of Employee on the terms and conditions contained herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.     Employment.

          Subject to the terms hereof, the Employer hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such employment. Employee will serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Employer or in such other executive capacity as the Board of Directors of Employer (the "Board of Directors") may hereafter from time to time determine. Employee agrees to devote his full business time and best efforts to the performance of the duties that Employer may assign Employee from time to time; provided that the Employee may also serve as an officer or director of Return.com Online, Inc. and may perform services for Return.com Online, Inc.; and provided further that the Employee may also serve on boards of directors or trustees of other companies and organizations, as long as such service does not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder.

          (ii)          The termination by Employer of Employee's employment hereunder, upon prior written notice to Employee, for "good cause", as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, "good cause" for termination of Employee's employment shall exist (A) if Employee is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or confesses to any felony or any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, (B) if Employee fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Employer of such failure, Employee has not corrected such failure or, having once received such notice of failure and having so corrected such failure, Employee at any time thereafter again so fails, (C) if Employee violates any of the provisions contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, or (D) if Employee tests positive for illegal drugs; or

         (iii)          The termination of this Agreement by either party upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice.

Section 3.     Compensation.

          3.1          Term of Employment. Employer will provide Employee with the following salary, expense reimbursement and additional employee benefits during the term of employment hereunder:

          (a)          Salary. Employee will be paid a salary (the "Salary") of no less than Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($ 425,000) per annum, less deductions and withholdings required by applicable law. The Salary shall be paid to Employee in equal monthly installments (or on such more frequent basis as other executives of Employer are compensated). The Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of Employer on at least an annual basis.

          (b)          Bonus. Employee will be entitled to an annual bonus (the "Bonus") of 100% of Salary at Plan (to be defined) with a 3-up-3-down formula. The Bonus shall be paid promptly upon the availability of annual financial results (which is expected to occur in early February of each year).

          (c)          Car Allowance. Employee shall be reimbursed for reasonable automobile expenses, including gas, repairs, maintenance and insurance.

          (d)          Club Dues. Employee will be provided a corporate membership at Employer's expense under its existing corporate membership at Sugar Loaf and at the 1818 Club, and will reimburse Employee for his annual dues and membership fees for his personal membership at the Standard Club, so that these facilities may be used for client entertainment.

          (e)          Vacation. Employee shall receive eight (8) weeks vacation time per calendar year during the term of this Agreement. Any unused vacation days in any calendar year may not be carried over to subsequent years.

          (f)          Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Employee at the request of and on behalf of Employer.

          (g)          Benefit Plans. Employee may participate in such medical, dental, disability, hospitalization, life insurance and other benefit plans (such as pension and profit sharing plans) as Employer maintains from time to time for the benefit of other senior executives of Employer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such plans.

3.2          Effect of Termination.

          (a)          Except as hereinafter provided, upon the termination of the employment of Employee hereunder for any reason, Employee shall be entitled to all compensation and benefits earned or accrued under Section 3.1 as of the effective date of termination (the "Termination Date"), but from and after the Termination Date no additional compensation or benefits shall be earned by Employee hereunder. Employee shall be deemed to have earned any Bonus payable with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs on a prorated basis (based on the number of days in such calendar year through and including the Termination Date divided by 365) based upon the year to date financials and performance of the Employer and assuming performance at the target level for any individual performance criteria. Any such Bonus shall be payable upon termination.

          (b)          If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, then, in addition to any other amount payable hereunder, Employer shall continue to pay Employee his normal Salary pursuant to Section 3.1(a) for a six-month period (on the same basis as if Employee continued to serve as an employee hereunder for such applicable period). If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof or if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), all options to purchase stock of the Company or an affiliate of the Company granted to Employee shall immediately become exercisable upon such termination. In the case of a termination pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof, the options will expire in accordance with their respective scheduled expiration dates. Except as provided in Section 3.3, in the case of a termination by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, the options will expire on the first anniversary after the effective date of the termination of Employee's employment hereunder. Upon the death of Employee, any options that Employee would otherwise be entitled to exercise hereunder may be exercised by his personal representatives or heirs, as applicable. Except as provided in Section 3.3, if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) or by Employee pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), those options which are exercisable as of the date of such termination shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days after such termination (and all other options not then exercisable shall be forfeited as of such date), and after such 90-day period, all unexercised options will expire. To the extent necessary, this provision shall be deemed an amendment of any option agreement between the Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer .

          3.3          Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 3.2(b) above, if there is a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Employer and the Employee's employment is terminated within 18 months following the date of the Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply.

          (a)          If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof or by Employee for "Good Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Employee shall be entitled to received the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) below:

          (i)          Base Salary. Employee will continue to receive his Salary as then in effect (subject to withholding of all applicable taxes) for a period of eighteen (18) months from his date of termination in the same manner as it was being paid as of the date of termination.

          (ii)          Health, Dental and Life Insurance Coverage. The health, dental and group term life insurance benefits coverage provided to Employee at his date of termination shall be continued at the same level and in the same manner as if his employment under this Agreement had not terminated (subject to the customary changes in such coverages if Employee retires, reaches age 65 or similar events), beginning on the date of such termination and ending on the date eighteen (18) months from the date of such termination. Any additional coverages Employee had at termination, including dependent coverage, will also be continued for such period on the same terms, to the extent permitted by the applicable policies or contracts. Any costs Employee was paying for such coverages at the time of termination shall be paid by Employee by separate check payable to the Company each month in advance or by reduction of amounts owed to Employee by the Employer. If the terms of any benefit plan referred to in this Section, or the laws applicable to such plan, do not permit continued participation by Employee, then the Company will arrange for other coverage at its expense providing substantially similar benefits. The coverages provided for in this paragraph shall be applied against and reduce the period for which COBRA will be provided.

          (iii)          Stock Options. Notwithstanding any provision in any option agreement, all outstanding stock options granted to Employee by Employer or an affiliate of Employer shall become fully vested on the date of Employee's termination of employment and shall remain exercisable as provided in the applicable option agreement or, if longer, for a period of three (3) years following the date of termination of employment. To the extent necessary, this provision shall be deemed an amendment of any option agreement between the Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer.

          (iv)          Other Benefits. For a period of 18 months following the date of Employee's termination of Employment, the Employee shall continue to receive a car allowance as provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement and reimbursement of club membership dues as provided in Section 3.1(d) of this Agreement.

          (b)          If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employee pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof other than for "Good Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) of Subsection 3.3(a) above, provided, however, that a period of 12 months shall be substituted for 18 months in subsections 3.3(a)(i), (ii) and (iv).

          3.4          Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a)          "Change in Control" means any of the following events:

          (i)          The acquisition (other than from the Employer) by any person of beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Employer's then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section, person shall not include any person who on the date hereof owns 25% or more of the Employer's outstanding securities, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Employer's then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Employer or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any corporation, which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Employer in the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Employer immediately prior to such acquisition.

Exhibit 10.3

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this 30th day of August, 2000, by and between DAVID L. ELLIN, an individual resident of the State of Georgia ("Employee"), and INNOTRAC CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (the "Employer").

W I T N E S S E T H:

        WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into an agreement for the Company's continued employment of Employee on the terms and conditions contained herein;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.     Employment.

        Subject to the terms hereof, the Employer hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such employment. Employee will serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Employer or in such other executive capacity as the Board of Directors of Employer (the "Board of Directors") may hereafter from time to time determine. Employee agrees to devote his full business time and best efforts to the performance of the duties that Employer may assign Employee from time to time; provided that the Employee may also serve as an officer or director of Return.com Online, Inc. and may perform services for Return.com Online, Inc.; and provided further that the Employee may also serve on boards of directors or trustees of other companies and organizations, as long as such service does not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder.

Section 2.     Term of Employment.

        The term of Employee's employment (the "Term") shall continue from the date hereof until the earlier of (a) December 31, 2005 or (b) the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

        (i)      The death or total disability of Employee (total disability meaning the failure to fully perform his normal required services hereunder for a period of three (3) months during any consecutive twelve (12) month period during the term hereof, as determined by the Board of Directors, by reason of mental or physical disability);

 

        (ii)         The termination by Employer of Employee's employment hereunder, upon prior written notice to Employee, for "good cause", as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, "good cause" for termination of Employee's employment shall exist (A) if Employee is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or confesses to any felony or any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, (B) if Employee fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Employer of such failure, Employee has not corrected such failure or, having once received such notice of failure and having so corrected such failure, Employee at any time thereafter again so fails, (C) if Employee violates any of the provisions contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, or (D) if Employee tests positive for illegal drugs; or

 

        (iii)         The termination of this Agreement by either party upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice.


Section 3.     Compensation.

        3.1      Term of Employment. Employer will provide Employee with the following salary, expense reimbursement and additional employee benefits during the term of employment hereunder:

 

        (a)      Salary. Employee will be paid a salary (the "Salary") of no less than One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) per annum, less deductions and withholdings required by applicable law. The Salary shall be paid to Employee in equal monthly installments (or on such more frequent basis as other executives of Employer are compensated). The Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of Employer on at least an annual basis.

 

        (b)      Bonus. Employee will be entitled to an annual bonus (the "Bonus") of 60% of Salary at Plan (to be defined) with a 3-up-3-down formula. The Bonus shall be paid promptly upon the availability of annual financial results (which is expected to occur in early February of each year).

 

         (c)     Car Allowance. Employee shall receive a car allowance of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500) per month.

 

        (d)      Vacation. Employee shall receive four (4) weeks vacation time per calendar year during the term of this Agreement. Any unused vacation days in any calendar year may not be carried over to subsequent years.

 

        (e)      Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Employee at the request of and on behalf of Employer.

 

        (f)     Benefit Plans. Employee may participate in such medical, dental, disability, hospitalization, life insurance and other benefit plans (such as pension and profit sharing plans) as Employer maintains from time to time for the benefit of other senior executives of Employer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such plans.


        3.2     Effect of Termination.

 

        (a)      Except as hereinafter provided, upon the termination of the employment of Employee hereunder for any reason, Employee shall be entitled to all compensation and benefits earned or accrued under Section 3.1 as of the effective date of termination (the "Termination Date"), but from and after the Termination Date no additional compensation or benefits shall be earned by Employee hereunder. Employee shall be deemed to have earned any Bonus payable with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs on a prorated basis (based on the number of days in such calendar year through and including the Termination Date divided by 365) based upon the year to date financials and performance of the Employer and assuming performance at the target level for any individual performance criteria. Any such Bonus shall be payable upon termination.

 

        (b)      If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, then, in addition to any other amount payable hereunder, Employer shall continue to pay Employee his normal Salary pursuant to Section 3.1(a) for a six-month period (on the same basis as if Employee continued to serve as an employee hereunder for such applicable period). If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof or if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), all options to purchase stock of the Company or an affiliate of the Company granted to Employee shall immediately become exercisable upon such termination. In the case of a termination pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof, the options will expire in accordance with their respective scheduled expiration dates. Except as provided in Section 3.3, in the case of a termination by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, the options will expire on the first anniversary after the effective date of the termination of Employee's employment hereunder. Upon the death of Employee, any options that Employee would otherwise be entitled to exercise hereunder may be exercised by his personal representatives or heirs, as applicable. Except as provided in Section 3.3, if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) or by Employee pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), those options which are exercisable as of the date of such termination shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days after such termination (and all other options not then exercisable shall be forfeited as of such date), and after such 90-day period, all unexercised options will expire. To the extent necessary, this provision shall be deemed an amendment of any option agreement between the Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer.

        3.3      Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 3.2(b) above, if there is a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Employer and the Employee's employment is terminated within 18 months following the date of the Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply.

 

        (a)      If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof or by Employee for "Good Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Employee shall be entitled to received the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) below:

 

        (i)      Base Salary. Employee will continue to receive his Salary as then in effect (subject to withholding of all applicable taxes) for a period of eighteen (18) months from his date of termination in the same manner as it was being paid as of the date of termination.

 

        (ii)      Health, Dental and Life Insurance Coverage. The health, dental and group term life insurance benefits coverage provided to Employee at his date of termination shall be continued at the same level and in the same manner as if his employment under this Agreement had not terminated (subject to the customary changes in such coverages if Employee retires, reaches age 65 or similar events), beginning on the date of such termination and ending on the date eighteen (18) months from the date of such termination. Any additional coverages Employee had at termination, including dependent coverage, will also be continued for such period on the same terms, to the extent permitted by the applicable policies or contracts. Any costs Employee was paying for such coverages at the time of termination shall be paid by Employee by separate check payable to the Company each month in advance or by reduction of amounts owed to Employee by the Employer. If the terms of any benefit plan referred to in this Section, or the laws applicable to such plan, do not permit continued participation by Employee, then the Company will arrange for other coverage at its expense providing substantially similar benefits. The coverages provided for in this paragraph shall be applied against and reduce the period for which COBRA will be provided.

 

        (iii)      Stock Options. Notwithstanding any provision in any option agreement, all outstanding stock options granted to Employee by Employer or an affiliate of Employer shall become fully vested on the date of Employee's termination of employment and shall remain exercisable as provided in the applicable option agreement or, if longer, for a period of three (3) years following the date of termination of employment. To the extent necessary, this provision shall be deemed an amendment of any option agreement between the Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer.

 

         (iv)     Other Benefits. For a period of 18 months following the date of Employee's termination of Employment, the Employee shall continue to receive a car allowance as provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement.

 

        (b)      If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employee pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof other than for "Good Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) of Subsection 3.3(a) above, provided, however, that a period of 12 months shall be substituted for 18 months in subsections 3.3(a)(i), (ii) and (iv).

        (iv)      The occurrence of any other event or circumstance which is not covered by (i) through (iii) above which the Board determines affects control of the Company and adopts a resolution that such event or circumstance constitutes a Change in Control for the purposes of this Agreement.

        The Employee's right to terminate the Employee's employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, except for a total disability as defined in Section 2 above.

Exhibit 10.4

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of this 31st day of August, 2000, by and between LARRY C. HANGER, an individual resident of the State of Georgia ("Employee"), and INNOTRAC CORPORATION, a Georgia corporation (the "Employer").

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into an agreement for the Company's continued employment of Employee on the terms and conditions contained herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.          Employment.

          Subject to the terms hereof, the Employer hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such employment. Employee will serve as Senior Vice President - Business Development of the Employer or in such other executive capacity as the Board of Directors of Employer (the "Board of Directors") may hereafter from time to time determine. Employee agrees to devote his full business time and best efforts to the performance of the duties that Employer may assign Employee from time to time; provided that the Employee may also serve as an officer or director of Return.com Online, Inc. and may perform services for Return.com Online, Inc.; and provided further that the Employee may also serve on boards of directors or trustees of other companies and organizations, as long as such service does not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder.

Section 2.          Term of Employment.

          The term of Employee's employment (the "Term") shall continue from the date hereof until the earlier of (a) December 31, 2005 or (b) the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (i)          The death or total disability of Employee (total disability meaning the failure to fully perform his normal required services hereunder for a period of three (3) months during any consecutive twelve (12) month period during the term hereof, as determined by the Board of Directors, by reason of mental or physical disability);

          (ii)          The termination by Employer of Employee's employment hereunder, upon prior written notice to Employee, for "good cause", as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, "good cause" for termination of Employee's employment shall exist (A) if Employee is convicted of, pleads guilty to, or confesses to any felony or any act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, (B) if Employee fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, within thirty (30) days after written notice from Employer of such failure, Employee has not corrected such failure or, having once received such notice of failure and having so corrected such failure, Employee at any time thereafter again so fails, (C) if Employee violates any of the provisions contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, or (D) if Employee tests positive for illegal drugs; or

          (iii)          The termination of this Agreement by either party upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice.

Section 3.          Compensation.

          3.1          Term of Employment. Employer will provide Employee with the following salary, expense reimbursement and additional employee benefits during the term of employment hereunder:

          (a)          Salary. Employee will be paid a salary (the "Salary") of no less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) per annum, less deductions and withholdings required by applicable law. The Salary shall be paid to Employee in equal monthly installments (or on such more frequent basis as other executives of Employer are compensated). The Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of Employer on at least an annual basis.

          (b)          Bonus. Employee will be entitled to an annual bonus (the "Bonus") of 60% of Salary at Plan (to be defined) with a 3-up-3-down formula. The Bonus shall be paid promptly upon the availability of annual financial results (which is expected to occur in early February of each year).

          (c)          Vacation. Employee shall receive four (4) weeks vacation time per calendar year during the term of this Agreement. Any unused vacation days in any calendar year may not be carried over to subsequent years.

          (d)          Expenses. Employer shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Employee at the request of and on behalf of Employer.

          (e)          Benefit Plans. Employee may participate in such medical, dental, disability, hospitalization, life insurance and other benefit plans (such as pension and profit sharing plans) as Employer maintains from time to time for the benefit of other senior executives of Employer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such plans.

3.2          Effect of Termination.

          (a)          Except as hereinafter provided, upon the termination of the employment of Employee hereunder for any reason, Employee shall be entitled to all compensation and benefits earned or accrued under Section 3.1 as of the effective date of termination (the "Termination Date"), but from and after the Termination Date no additional compensation or benefits shall be earned by Employee hereunder. Employee shall be deemed to have earned any Bonus payable with respect to the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs on a prorated basis (based on the number of days in such calendar year through and including the Termination Date divided by 365) based upon the year to date financials and performance of the Employer and assuming performance at the target level for any individual performance criteria. Any such Bonus shall be payable upon termination.

          (b)          If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, then, in addition to any other amount payable hereunder, Employer shall continue to pay Employee his normal Salary pursuant to Section 3.1(a) for a six-month period (on the same basis as if Employee continued to serve as an employee hereunder for such applicable period). If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof or if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), all options to purchase stock of the Company or an affiliate of the Company granted to Employee shall immediately become exercisable upon such termination. In the case of a termination pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof, the options will expire in accordance with their respective scheduled expiration dates. Except as provided in Section 3.3 , in the case of a termination by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof, the options will expire on the first anniversary after the effective date of the termination of Employee's employment hereunder. Upon the death of Employee, any options that Employee would otherwise be entitled to exercise hereunder may be exercised by his personal representatives or heirs, as applicable. Except as provided in Section 3.3, if Employee's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) or by Employee pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii), those options which are exercisable as of the date of such termination shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days after such termination (and all other options not then exercisable shall be forfeited as of such date), and after such 90-day period, all unexercised options will expire. To the extent necessary, this provision shall be deemed an amendment of any option agreement between the Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer .

          3.3          Effect of Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 3.2(b) above, if there is a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Employer and the Employee's employment is terminated within 18 months following the date of the Change in Control, the following provisions shall apply.

          (a)          If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employer pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof or by Employee for "Good Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Employee shall be entitled to received the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) below:

          (i)          Base Salary. Employee will continue to receive his Salary as then in effect (subject to withholding of all applicable taxes) for a period of eighteen (18) months from his date of termination in the same manner as it was being paid as of the date of termination.

          (ii)          Health, Dental and Life Insurance Coverage. The health, dental and group term life insurance benefits coverage provided to Employee at his date of termination shall be continued at the same level and in the same manner as if his employment under this Agreement had not terminated (subject to the customary changes in such coverages if Employee retires, reaches age 65 or similar events), beginning on the date of such termination and ending on the date eighteen (18) months from the date of such termination. Any additional coverages Employee had at termination, including dependent coverage, will also be continued for such period on the same terms, to the extent permitted by the applicable policies or contracts. Any costs Employee was paying for such coverages at the time of termination shall be paid by Employee by separate check payable to the Company each month in advance or by re duction of amounts owed to Employee by the Employer. If the terms of any benefit plan referred to in this Section, or the laws applicable to such plan, do not permit continued participation by Employee, then the Company will arrange for other coverage at its expense providing substantially similar benefits. The coverages provided for in this paragraph shall be applied against and reduce the period for which COBRA will be provided.

          (iii)          Stock Options. Notwithstanding any provision in any option agreement, all outstanding stock options granted to Employee by Employer or an affiliate of Employer shall become fully vested on the date of Employee's termination of employment and shall remain exercisable as provided in the applicable option agreement or, if longer, for a period of three (3) years following the date of termination of employment. To the extent necessary, this provision shall be deemed an amendment of any option agreement between the Employee and the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer.

          (b)          If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by Employee pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) hereof other than for "Good Reason" as defined below, then, in addition to any other amount payable pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth in subsections (i) through (iii) of Subsection 3.3(a) above, provided, however, that a period of 12 months shall be substituted for 18 months in subsections 3.3(a)(i) and (ii).

          3.4          Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

                      (a)          "Change in Control" means any of the following events:

          (i)          The acquisition (other than from the Employer) by any person of beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Employer's then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section, person shall not include any person who on the date hereof owns 25% or more of the Employer's outstanding securities, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Employer's then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Employer or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any corporation, which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Employer in the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Employer immediately prior to such acquisition.

          (ii)          Approval by shareholders of the Employer of (1) a merger or consolidation involving the Employer if the shareholders of the Employer, immediately before such merger or consolidation do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Employer outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation, or (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Employer, or (3) an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Employer.

          (iii)          A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this Section that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Employer's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided, further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or t hreatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, including any successor to such Rule), or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board, shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.

          (iv)          The occurrence of any other event or circumstance which is not covered by (i) through (iii) above which the Board determines affects control of the Company and adopts a resolution that such event or circumstance constitutes a Change in Control for the purposes of this Agreement.

          (b)          A "Good Reason" for termination by Employee of Employee's employment shall mean the occurrence (without the Employee's express written consent), within the eighteen (18) month period following the date of a Change in Control, of any one of the following acts by the Employer, or failures by the Employer to act, unless, in the case of any act or failure to act described in paragraph (i) or (iv) below, such act or failure to act is corrected within 30 days after notice by the Employee to the Employer of the act or failure to act:

          (i)          the assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent with Employee's title and status set forth herein, or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of Employee's responsibilities at the Employer from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

          The Employee's right to terminate the Employee's employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, except for a total disability as defined in Section 2 above. The Employee's continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.
