See notes to consolidated financial statements. Page 6 of 16 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a leading photo services company dedictated to providing its customers with innovative ways to enjoy and use their photos. The PhotoWorks service provides film and image processing and online image storage and management services to both traditional and digital camera users, providing customers with the easiest way to store and organize photos online, share them with friends and family, and order reprints, photo albums, and photo related products. The Company also offers an array of complementary products and services, primarily under the brand names PhotoWorks(R) and Seattle FilmWorks(R). To a lesser extent, the Company provides photo-related products on a wholesale basis. The Company currently operates in one principal business segment The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results have been included. The Company follows a policy of recording its interim periods and year-end on a 13 week basis for comparability of results and to be consistent with its internal weekly reporting. Operating results for the second quarter ended March 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2002. For further information, refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under Item 2 below and under Item 7 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 29, 2001 and the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto also included in the Company's Annual Report Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible preferred shares, outstanding warrants and stock options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of loss per share because their effect was antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

Page 7 of 16 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE C -- LIQUIDITY For the most recent quarter ended March 30, 2002, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $917,000 and an overall decline in cash of $54,000. In fiscal 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of $12,122,000 and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $4,596,000. For the past three years, the Company has incurred significant losses on declining revenues. As more fully described in Note D, Congress recently enacted changes in federal income tax laws that will allow the Company to carryback its 2001 and 2002 tax losses, resulting in the recognition of tax benefits, most of which were previously reserved, of approximately $3,758,000. Additionally, management has taken various other actions, including workforce reductions, store and facility closures, and reduced marketing, administrative, and research and development expenditures, to more closely align its cost structure with its reduced revenue levels, which have resulted in positive operating cash flow during each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2002. Management believes that under its current operational and financing plans and current cash balances, combined with projected cash flows from operations, including the fiscal 2001 tax refund of $3,592,000, will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations through the next twelve months. NOTE D -- INCOME TAXES In fiscal 2000, it was determined that it was appropriate to provide a valuation allowance equal to the amount of deferred tax assets not recoverable through operating loss carrybacks. However, the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act enacted by Congress on March 8, 2002, extended the carryback period for certain net tax operating losses. This will allow the Company to carryback all of its 2001 tax loss of approximately $10,560,000 and any tax losses it incurs in fiscal 2002 up to approximately $6,580,000. The Company will receive a tax refund of approximately $3,592,000 for its 2001 tax loss. Through the first six months of fiscal 2002, the Company has a net tax operating loss of approximately $489,000, for which the company has recorded a tax benefit of $166,000. Utilization of the remaining deferred tax assets of approximately $13,049,000 is dependent on future profits that are not assured and are still offset fully by a valuation allowance. NOTE E - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES On April 25, 2001, the Company closed a $2,500,000 Subordinated Debenture financing with investment advisory clients of Zesiger Capital Group, LLC. The subordinated debentures have a 7% interest rate (payable semi-annually) and are convertible at the discretion of the holders, into Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $75.00 per share, one year after closing. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into 100 shares of Common Stock (Series B conversion to common stock results in a price of $.75 per common share). If not previously converted, the debentures are repayable five years from closing. Page 8 of 16 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE F -- CONTINGENCIES Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. - The Company is a defendant in a legal proceeding that was filed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. with the International Trade Commission in February 1998. The action was filed against a number of importers, including the Company's OptiColor, Inc. subsidiary, alleging patent infringement of U.S. patents held by Fuji on single use cameras through the importation and resale of recycled cameras. Fuji was seeking an order prohibiting importation of infringing cameras into the U.S. and prohibiting further sales of such products which had been imported. After an evidentiary hearing before an ITC Administrative Law Judge in November 1998, the ITC Commissioners issued a final order in June 1999 prohibiting the Company and its subsidiaries from importing and selling imported recycled single use cameras. The Company appealed the ITC Commissioners' order to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and that Court issued a decision in November 2001, upholding the order against the Company. In July 2001, the ITC commenced enforcement and advisory opinion proceedings against the Company and several other respondents, based on a new Complaint filed by Fuji with the ITC on June 27, 2001. This Complaint alleges that the Company is infringing certain claims of six of Fuji's patents on single use cameras, through the importation and sale of certain newly manufactured and preloaded cameras. The Complaint requests that the ITC determine that through these imports and sales the Company is violating the ITC's previous order. On May 2, 2002, an Administrative Law Judge of the International Trade Commission issued an initial determination that the Company's preloaded camera infringes three patents owned by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. for single-use cameras, and also recommended that the Commission assess a penalty of $1.6 million for such infringement. The infringement determination is subject to review by the full Commission. If that determination is upheld, the Commission would then decide what, if any, penalty to assess. The Company believes it has strong grounds for challenging both the initial infringement determination and the penalty recommendation, and intends to pursue such challenges to the extent necessary. As such, no accrual has been made in the Company's financial statements for this matter. Any action by the Commission is subject to further appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. There is risk that Fuji might bring a civil action against OptiColor and the Company for damages for patent infringement by reason of sales of cameras which have been found in the ITC proceedings to infringe Fuji patents. In June 1999, Fuji brought civil action for patent infringement against three other companies and stated in a press release that it is reviewing its options with respect to other companies involved in the sale of products that infringe Fuji patents. If such an action were brought against the Company, the ITC decision would not be binding in the civil proceeding and would not prevent OptiColor and the Company from raising and litigating all available defenses, but the federal circuit's decision affirming the ITC order could have some persuasive effect. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, et al vs. Abacus Software, Inc., et al; United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas; No. 501CV344 - On April 25, 2002, a Complaint was filed against the Company and 213 other defendants by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Electronics for Imaging, Inc. claiming infringement on a patent issued in 1985 for a Color Reproduction System. The Complaint requests injunctive relief, damages adequate to compensate them for Defendants' infringement of the 4,500,919 patent, their costs and prejudgment interest on their damages and reasonable attorney fees. The suit is in its beginning stage and management of the Company intends to contest the suit vigorously as to the complaint's substantive allegations. Although the Company believes the claim to be without merit, it is not possible to predict an outcome at this time or the potential affect on its business or financial condition. The Company's defense of this claim will cause it to incur additional legal expenses. The Company does not expect the litigation to have a significantly harmful impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Page 9 of 16 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE F -- CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Sharon Drinkard, et al vs. PhotoWorks, Inc. - A complaint was filed in March 2000, alleging that the Company had engaged in unfair and deceptive practices by allegedly misrepresenting that film received from the Company, must be processed only by the Company and that replacement film is "free". Without admitting wrongdoing or liability, and for the sole purpose of compromising disputed claims and avoiding costs and risks of further litigation, PhotoWorks and the plaintiffs, who represented the Class, agreed to a proposed settlement. The settlement was approved by the Court on July 16, 2001. The Company accrued a total of $675,000 related to the future distribution of 900,000 rolls of film pursuant to terms of the final settlement. As of March 30, 2002, the Company has distributed approximately $502,000 of film under the settlement terms. The remainder of the estimated settlement cost of $203,000 is accrued at March 30, 2002. Washington Department of Revenue - The Company has an outstanding tax issue with the Washington State Department of Revenue related to use taxes owed as a result of advertising materials (including order forms) mailed to out-of-state customers. The Company is seeking resolution of the issues involved, primarily related to future periods, as this is an ongoing issue for the Company for tax reporting periods after January 1, 1997. That is, it is reasonable that a future routine audit by the Department of Revenue will result in a further use tax assessment unless the issue can be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company prior to such audit assessment. In December 2001, the Company resolved certain amounts related to the outstanding tax issue which resulted in a reduction of taxes payable which had been previously accrued. The Company believes its accrual of approximately $325,000 is adequate for possible assessments related to the outstanding issue. Although the Company believes it has a reasonable position relative to the claims listed above, it is not possible to predict an outcome at this time or the potential affect on its business or financial condition. The Company's defense of these claims will cause it to incur additional legal expenses. The Company does not expect the litigation to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. Page 10 of 16 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This report contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events, product or service offerings or the future financial performance of the Company.

General ------- PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a leading online photo services company dedicated to providing customers with innovative ways to create and tell the stories of their lives through photos. The Company is a direct-to-consumer Internet and mail order provider of film and image processing and online image storage and management services and offers an array of complementary services and products primarily under the brand names PhotoWorks(R) and Seattle FilmWorks(R). To promote its service and products, the Company relies primarily on direct-marketing and online e-mail programs. The Company uses e-mail to communicate with its existing online customer base to increase retention, customer satisfaction and communication with inactive customers and employs a variety of other direct-marketing techniques to increase business from existing customers and generate business from inactive customers. In recent years, the Company has seen a decline in the effectiveness of its customer acquisition programs and is currently evaluating and testing various marketing programs that may generate new customers cost effectively. Management believes its complementary value-added services and products promote customer loyalty and increase customer demand. The Company strives to increase both average order size and order frequency by informing its existing customer base of its integrated array of services and products. The Company also believes that the online archive is a viable and economic opportunity to monetize its customer's "personal equity" through film processing for film-based cameras, and through photo output, in the form of prints, reprints, and gifts for digital and traditional camera users. The Company's commitment to expanding its service and product offerings, including enhancements to its digital and online offerings, is intended to support this strategy. Demand for the Company's services and products is generally seasonal, with the highest volume of activity occurring during the summer months. This seasonality has generally produced greater net revenues during the last half of the Company's fiscal year (April through September), with a peak occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter. However, seasonality of demand may be offset by changes in the effectiveness of marketing programs, the introduction of new services and products, actions by competitors, production difficulties and other factors. Net income is affected by the seasonality of the Company's net revenues due to the fixed nature of a portion of the Company's operating expenses and the Company's practice of relatively higher marketing program expenditures prior to the summer months. Page 11 of 16 Operating results may fluctuate in the future due to changes in the mix of sales, marketing and promotional activities, price increases by suppliers, introductions of new products, research and development requirements, actions by competitors, conditions in the direct-to-consumer market and the photofinishing industry in general, national and global economic conditions and other factors. Results of Operations --------------------- The following table presents information from the Company's consolidated statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated.

Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 were $9,269,000 as compared to net revenues of $12,690,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the six months ended March 30, 2002, net revenues were $20,332,000 compared to $27,675,000 for the same period of fiscal 2001. The decline in net revenues was primarily due to lower processing volumes and general market conditions. The decline in processing volumes was partially offset by an increase in revenue per roll of approximately 14% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, and 19% for the first six months of 2002, as compared to the fiscal 2001 periods. This increase in revenue per roll is primarily due to changes in marketing promotions, product offerings and pricing. Management believes processing volumes decreased primarily due to lower marketing expenditures combined with an overall decline in the photofinishing industry. Net revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2002 are expected to continue to be lower than fiscal 2001. Cost of goods and services consist of labor, postage, supplies and fixed operating costs related to the Company's services and products. Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased to 19.8% of net revenues compared to 13.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first six months of fiscal 2002, gross profit increased to 21.7% compared to 16.0% for the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an overall increase in net revenue per roll, as discussed above, combined with expense reductions in overhead areas. Gross profit fluctuates due to seasonality, processing volumes and revenue per roll against certain fixed operating costs associated with equipment, facilities and other overhead costs related to services and products. Total operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased to $2,728,000 compared to $8,637,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first six months of fiscal 2002, total operating expenses decreased to $5,394,000 compared to $14,227,000 for the same period of fiscal 2001. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a significant reduction in marketing expenses, and lower costs for research and development and general and administrative expenses. Future periods may reflect increased or decreased operating costs due the timing and magnitude of marketing and other activities. Page 12 of 16 Marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased to $946,000 compared to $5,199,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first six months of fiscal 2002, marketing expenses decreased to $1,880,000 compared to $7,765,000 for the same period in fiscal 2001. Marketing expenditures in fiscal 2002 were lower primarily due to the Company's focus on its existing customers through targeted retention and reactivation programs. Marketing expenses include expenses associated with customer retention, reactivation and acquisition, promotion of the Company's products and services, and testing of new marketing programs to both new and existing customers. The Company continues to test and evaluate new marketing programs designed to effectively acquire new customers. Marketing expenditures for fiscal 2002 are expected to be lower as compared to fiscal 2001. Research and development expenses decreased to $412,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $1,350,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first six months of fiscal 2002, research and development costs decreased to $828,000 as compared to $2,525,000 for the same period of fiscal 2001. The decrease was due primarily to reductions in staff and overhead costs. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in developing online photo archiving and photo sharing services, computerized online image management concepts, other online services, and creating equipment necessary to provide customers with new digital photographic services and products. Expenditures for fiscal 2002 are expected to continue to be lower as compared to fiscal 2001 as the Company concentrates on a more focused approach to its research and development projects. General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,370,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $2,088,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the six months ended March 30, 2002, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2,686,000 compared to $3,937,000 for the same period of fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in staff and overhead costs and is consistent with lower sales activity for the Company. General and administrative expenses consist of costs related to computer operations, human resource functions, finance, legal, accounting, investor relations and general corporate activities. Net loss before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was $917,000, compared to a net loss before income taxes of $6,896,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first six months of fiscal 2002, net loss before income taxes was $1,084,000, compared to a net loss before income taxes of $9,929,000 for the same period of fiscal 2001. On March 8, 2002, Congress enacted the "Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act". This bill provided for an economic stimulus package of temporary business tax incentives. The Company benefited from a business tax incentive contained in the bill, which allows a business to extend the net operating loss carryback period to five years (from two years) for net operating losses arising in taxable years ending in 2001 and 2002. As a result, the Company booked a tax benefit of $3,758,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002, which includes tax benefits related to fiscal 2001 and estimated year-to-date tax benefits for fiscal 2002. The Company expects to receive a tax refund for its 2001 tax year of approximately $3,592,000 in due course. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was $2,841,000, or $.17 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $6,896,000, or loss of $.42 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2001. For the first six months of fiscal 2002, net income was $2,674,000, or diluted earnings per share of $.16, compared to a net loss of $9,929,000, or loss of $.60 per share for the first six months of fiscal 2001. Net income for fiscal 2002 periods included $3,758,000 of tax benefit as discussed above. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- As of May 3, 2002, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included $1,854,000 in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Company expects to receive a tax refund of approximately $3,592,000 (as discussed above). The Company has a bank note payable with a maturity date of September 30, 2002, subject to certain financial covenants. The Company currently anticipates that existing funds, bank loan, estimated tax refund and projected future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance its operations, including capital expenditures and debt service for the foreseeable future. However, if the Company does not generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy its ongoing expenses or does not meet financial covenants related to its bank loan, the Company may be required to seek other external sources of financing or refinance its obligations. Possible sources of financing include the sale of equity securities or additional bank borrowings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future.
