PART I ITEM 1 - BUSINESS Description of Business PHOTOWORKS, INC: ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is an online photography services company. PhotoWorks offers processing and printing services to both digital and traditional camera users, primarily in the United States. PhotoWorks provides customers with the ability to store and organize photos online, share them with friends and family, and order prints, reprints, photo albums, and photo related products. In addition, customers can create Custom Photo Books and Signature Photo Cards using PhotoWorks' state of the art website. PhotoWorks draws upon a unique dual heritage as a top-rated photofinisher with over twenty-five years of experience along with a tradition of innovation and leadership in digital and online photo services. We provide digital camera owners with easy ways to get professional quality digital prints in addition to providing online image storage and management services. PhotoWorks can also process any brand of 35mm film, Advanced Photo Systems (24mm) film or 35mm single-use cameras, and offers prints, slides, digital images and online archiving, all from the same roll of 35mm film. PhotoWorks was incorporated in Washington State in June 1976. The executive offices are located at 1260 Sixteenth Avenue West, Seattle, Washington 98119, and the telephone number is (206) 281-1390. References to PhotoWorks and the Company in this Report include PhotoWorks, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Industry Overview The dominant method of distributing photofinishing services and products is through retail stores, including discount and mass merchants, drugstores, supermarkets and camera/specialty stores. The majority of prints are processed through wholesale photofinishing laboratories or processed in-store using on-site equipment. Digital cameras continue to grow in the market as the quality increases and price decreases. In 2004, it is estimated that U.S. digital camera sales will reach over 22 million units, up 42% over 2003 sales. Digital cameras are creating new opportunities for people to use and share their photos. We believe that we can serve consumers using digital cameras by offering the highest quality services and innovative products such as our Signature Photo Cards and Custom Photo Books through convenient online services.* 2 Operating Strategy The principal elements of our operating strategy are the introduction of innovative, convenient, easy-to-use digital services and products and a commitment to service and customer satisfaction. We will continue to emphasize excellent service, professional quality, and convenience rather than try to be a low-price provider. Management believes that providing high-quality services to the digital market is the key driver to our success. We believe that consumers will continue to convert from traditional film-based cameras to digital cameras. We will seek opportunities to transition our operations to focus on digital services and products. * We believe that PhotoWorks can distinguish itself from its competitors through product differentiation. We believe that our complementary value-added services and products promote customer loyalty and increase customer demand.* We also believe that our online archive of customer images is a viable and economic opportunity to monetize a customer's "personal equity" by providing image storage and management services for digital and film based camera users and through photo output, in the form of Custom Photo Books, Signature Photo Cards and keepsakes. Our commitment to ease of use and expanded service and product offerings, is intended to support this strategy.* Over the years, we have been a leader in providing digital-imaging technologies. Some products incorporating these technologies include (i) PhotoDVD(TM) and PhotoVHS, an animated show of personal photos on DVD or VHS; (ii) Pictures On Disk(TM) on CD, a CD containing digital images from a roll of film or digital camera; and, (iii) our online image management system which gives customers a simple and convenient way to buy prints and products, view, share, and organize their photos online. In October 2004, we launched a new website and introduced an industry-leading line of Custom Photo Books and Signature Photo Cards. We plan to continue to introduce innovative products and services in 2005 to inspire people to share their photographic memories.* Marketing Strategy Our strategy for generating revenues is to leverage the strength of our services and products for both digital and film-based camera users. In recent years, we have seen a significant decline in our sales of traditional photofinishing services and products and we believe that the traditional photofinishing market will further decline as the digital camera market continues to expand.* We offer services and products, primarily in the United States, to digital camera users and believe we can compete effectively in this market by providing digital camera owners with professional quality photo output in the form of innovative products such as our Custom Photo Books, Signature Photo Cards and keepsakes, in addition to traditional prints and reprints.* We believe that our future success is dependent on our ability to transition our services and products to meet the needs of digital camera users by delivering premium digital services and products and complete customer satisfaction. We will continue to introduce or enhance digital related service and product offerings to support this strategy.* Commitment to Customer Satisfaction. We seek to develop and provide high-quality and reliable services and products to enhance brand recognition for "PhotoWorks" and maintain customer loyalty and we believe that a significant portion of our business comes from repeat customers.* As part of our dedication to customer service, PhotoWorks offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. See "Business--Customer Service and Support." New Customers. In recent years, we have seen a decline in the effectiveness of our customer acquisition programs. We are evaluating and testing various marketing programs that would generate new digital customers cost effectively.* Our primary methods to acquire new customers have been low priced or free introductory offers. We promote our products and services primarily through online channels and through our website (www.photoworks.com). "See "Risk Factors." 3 Services and Products PhotoWorks offers a variety of unique high-quality products and services through which it seeks to differentiate itself from its competitors.* Our online services offer immediate viewing and sharing of images online and quick turnaround for products and we believe we are highly competitive in this market. Mail-order photofinishing is generally longer than many alternative sources for photofinishing services and turnaround time for traditional mail-in processing services remains a competitive disadvantage for us. PhotoWorks has an established tradition of service and product innovation for both traditional and digital camera users. In October 2004, we launched a new website and product offering to inspire new ways for people to stay connected and share their photographs. Our Signature Photo Cards are differentiated from other online offerings by their high-end design and professional quality and our Custom Photo Books allow consumers to easily custom design online a personal memento of photographic memories into a professionally printed and bound book. Research and Development Through internal and external research and development efforts, we have developed innovative services and products. We seek to identify customer needs and shifts in consumer preferences in order to design and refine our services and products. In fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002, we incurred research and development expenses of $1,509,000, $2,442,000, and $1,891,000, respectively, primarily in connection with development and introduction of our online digital services and products. See Item 7 of Part II--"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Customer Service and Support The direct-to-consumer photofinishing business involves contacts with a large number of customers. We believe that customer satisfaction is critical to our ongoing success. PhotoWorks has a 100% satisfaction-guarantee policy under which we will provide a full refund if a customer's complaint cannot otherwise be resolved. As of December 3, 2004, we had a customer service staff of 18. These personnel have direct access to our database and are trained to promote certain of our services and products, as well as to answer questions regarding order status and use of PhotoWorks' digital and online services. PhotoWorks maintains a website on the Internet (www.photoworks.com). Our current website was launched in October 2004, and incorporates state of the art technology with an easy to use and intuitive user experience. While online, customers may use the PhotoWorks(R) service to privately upload, view, store, share, manage or email their photos to friends and family, and order PhotoWorks' Custom Photo Books and Signature Photo Cards, as well as keepsakes, prints and reprints. Customers may also obtain the status of their orders, access answers to frequently asked questions, and send email messages to customer service. Management Information Systems and Technology We have implemented technology to support customer order processing, image archiving, and Internet accessibility. These services and systems use a combination of proprietary technologies and commercially available, licensed technologies. Internal development is focused on creating and enhancing the specialized, proprietary software that is unique to the business. We use a set of applications for: o Accepting and validating customer orders o Archiving images o Internet image viewing, ordering prints and other products o Managing shipment of products to customers based on various ordering criteria 4 Systems are designed based on industry standard architectures and have been designed to reduce downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic occurrences. The systems provide a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week availability. We use load balancing systems and redundant servers to provide for fault tolerance. The market in which PhotoWorks competes is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new service and product announcements and enhancements, and changing customer demands. Accordingly, future success will depend on our ability to: o Adapt to rapidly changing technologies o Adapt services to evolving industry standards o Continually improve the performance, scalability, features, and reliability of service in response to competitive service and product offerings and evolving demands of the marketplace Failure to adapt to such changes would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In 2004, we acquired assets of PhotoAccess Technologies primarily through issuance of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. This acquisition allowed us to upgrade and strengthen our technology and infrastructure systems and launch a new website in October 2004. New internet, storage, networking, telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require substantial expenditures by us to modify or adapt our services or infrastructure. PhotoWorks has taken a number of precautions against certain events that could disrupt the operation of our systems, including events associated with continuing software and hardware upgrades. We did experience downtime and system interruptions during the launch of our new website in October 2004. As part of the system conversion, customers were unable to access all of their images stored online. This disruption caused a number of customer complaints and interfered in our ability to provide certain services to our customers. We believe the majority of the issues surrounding the website and systems conversion have been identified and are being corrected. Additional system interruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.* See "Risk Factors". Operations We operate a single laboratory in Seattle, Washington, which is designed to produce consistent, high-quality photofinishing. Our photo processing system is designed for 24-hour in-house processing of photofinishing orders. The images are printed on photographic paper using state-of-the-art equipment. Although much of the photofinishing and order handling process has been automated, trained personnel operate machinery and regularly monitor product quality with the assistance of computerized control and measurement systems. Other vendors fulfill orders for our Custom Photo Books, Signature Photo Cards and most keepsake and related merchandise orders. Management is researching additional opportunities to further enhance our operational capabilities and efficiencies through third-party vendors. PhotoWorks can process and print digital images from digital memory cards, CD's or from digital images uploaded to our website. We have the ability to process any brand of 35mm color film, 24mm format Advanced Photo System film, and all 35mm single-use cameras. We provide gloss or matte prints in color, black and white, and sepia tone. We believe we have sufficient production capacity with our existing facilities and equipment combined with third-party vendors to support production levels for our product offerings. 5 Competition PhotoWorks faces competition in the consumer digital and photofinishing market from other online and direct marketers. We also face competition in other distribution channels from companies that provide digital and photofinishing services on a wholesale basis to independent retail outlets, and from mass merchant retail outlets (such as Wal-Mart and Costco), many of which provide photofinishing services within hours. The largest of the wholesale photofinishers are Qualex Inc. and Fuji TruColor, Inc. Management believes that the largest mail order photofinisher is District Photo Inc. (dba York, Clark Labs, Mystic Color Lab and Snapfish). We also face competition in the online digital market with competitors such as Ofoto (a Kodak Company) and Shutterfly. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources than PhotoWorks. We believe that our success in the digital and photography industry will be based on our ability to generate brand awareness through the introduction of innovative and differentiated products and services such as our Signature Photo Cards and Custom Photo Books. We offer premium quality and competitive prices for our digital and film-based print services. Other competitors can and do provide similar services and products.* There are no significant proprietary or other barriers to entry into the digital or consumer photofinishing industry. The digital photography industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and consumer demand for services and products. The introduction of photographic services and products involving new technologies could render existing services and products obsolete.* Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to new technologies and develop new or modify existing services and products to satisfy evolving consumer needs.* For example, the commercialization of digital imaging technologies is having an adverse impact on the photofinishing industry and has among other factors, accounted for our declines in revenues. The development of new technologies or any failure by us to anticipate or successfully respond to such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.* See "Risk Factors." Suppliers PhotoWorks obtains its conventional 35mm film from a few large manufacturers of photographic film, primarily Ferrania USA. Our photographic paper and chemicals is available from several suppliers such as Eastman Kodak Company and Agfa Corporation. Currently, substantially all of our purchases from any foreign suppliers are paid for in U.S. dollars. Our mail-order services and products are handled largely through the U.S. Postal Service and other common carriers. See "Risk Factors." Proprietary Technology We currently market our services and products under registered and common-law trademarks and service marks, including PhotoWorks(R), Seattle FilmWorks(R), PhotoMail(R), PhotoStreamer(R), Pictures On Disk(TM), and Pictures On Disk(TM) on CD. See "Risk Factors." We consider a large portion of our website and infrastructure processes to be proprietary. We make limited patent filings, in part to avoid disclosure of our competitive strengths. However, we do attempt to protect our proprietary rights through a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, restricting access to certain portions of our premises, and contractual restrictions on use and disclosure in our end-user licenses. The legal and practical enforceability and extent of liability for violations of license agreements are unclear. * This Report contains trademarks other than those of PhotoWorks. Governmental Regulation PhotoWorks' operations, including transmission of digital images over the Internet, are subject to regulation by the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Trade Commission, and various state, local, and private consumer protection and other regulatory authorities. In general, these regulations govern the manner in 6 which orders may be solicited, the form and content of advertisements, privacy issues, information which must be provided to prospective customers, the time within which orders must be filled, obligations to customers if orders are not shipped within a specified period of time and the time within which refunds must be paid if the ordered merchandise is unavailable or returned. Congress has enacted legislation to specifically regulate online commerce and communications and has addressed such issues as the transmission of certain materials to children, intellectual property protection, taxation, and the transmission of sexually explicit material. In addition, some states have enacted legislation that makes the transmission of certain kinds of information, such as obscene content and information that facilitates the commission of criminal acts, a crime. Legislation enacted by Congress and the state legislatures could result in additional regulation or prohibition of the transmission of certain types of content over the Internet or in the imposition of taxes or fees on transactions conducted over the Internet.* This could result in significant potential liability to PhotoWorks, as well as additional costs and technological challenges in complying with mandatory requirements.* See "Risk Factors." Environmental Compliance Our photofinishing operations involve the use of several chemicals which are subject to federal, state and local governmental regulations relating to the storage, use, handling and disposal of such chemicals. We actively monitor our compliance with applicable regulations and work with regulatory authorities to ensure compliance. To the best of our knowledge, we have never received a significant citation or fine for failure to comply with applicable environmental requirements. However, changes in environmental regulations or in the kinds of chemicals used by us could impose the need for additional capital equipment or other requirements.* See "Risk Factors." Employees As of December 3, 2004, PhotoWorks had 130 employees, of whom approximately 74 were engaged in production operations, 18 in administration, 7 in marketing and business development, 13 in technology and development and 18 in customer service. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe relations with our employees are good.

RISK FACTORS In addition to the other information in this report, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our business. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be harmed. Need for additional financing; Doubtful ability to continue as a going concern The Company has a shareholders' deficit at September 25, 2004 of $536,000 and has incurred substantial operating losses in each of the last three years. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although at the end of our 2004 fiscal year, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,481,000, the continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain long-term financing. In April 2006, our outstanding debentures in the principal amount of $2.5 million mature. In the absence of additional financing or an extension of the maturity date, we may not be able to repay those debentures when they mature. In December 2004, the Company accepted a non-binding term sheet for $4 million of convertible subordinated debt. This term sheet is subject to negotiation of definitive agreements and the approval by the Company's shareholders of a recapitalization plan that will significantly increase the number of outstanding common shares. If the Company is unable to consummate this financing and is unable to secure alternative financing, our ability to continue our operations beyond the next twelve months is in substantial doubt. 8 A sale or liquidation of the Company may not generate sufficient proceeds for any distribution to the common shareholders We have approximately $2,900,000 of long-term liabilities, including $2,500,000 of subordinated debentures. The debentures are convertible into Series B Preferred Stock that has a preference on sale or liquidation of the Company of $5,000,000. In addition, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have a preference on the sale or liquidation of the Company in the amount of $15,000,000 plus an amount equal to either, (i) the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid dividends up to the time of such payment, or (ii) if no dividends have been declared by the Board of Directors, an amount equal to the amount of dividends which would have accrued up to the time of such payment at an annual dividend rate equal to 6% of the Series A issue price. If the Company were to be sold for an amount less than the aggregate liquidation preferences on the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, it is unlikely that any proceeds would be available for distribution to the common shareholders. Declines in film-based processing could adversely affect our revenues We have experienced significant declines in revenues during fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002. We believe that this is primarily attributable to declines in the mail order photofinishing market and the photofinishing industry in general. This may be in part due to the availability of low-priced film processing options from mass merchants such as Wal-Mart and Costco. In addition, we believe the market shift away from traditional 35mm film and towards digital cameras will continue due to the declining prices for and increased availability and consumer acceptance of digital cameras. We may not be successful in sustaining profitable film-based photofinishing customers. We may be unsuccessful in increasing revenues from digital services, which would adversely affect our results of operations. We have developed additional products and services designed to establish us as the choice for digital camera users for printing, archiving, sharing, viewing and managing personal digital images. We believe that this may contribute to increases in our digital photofinishing revenues and sales of other image-related services. However, a number of other companies are attempting to establish this position. Competitors in this area include Ofoto (a Kodak Company), Snapfish, Shutterfly and other traditional providers of photofinishing services. We may not be successful against this competition. The digital printing market has not been fully established. Even if we establish a strong position among consumers for digital products and services, we may not be able to generate significant revenues from this market. We may not be able to retain existing customers or acquire new customers at a reasonable cost Future revenues and profitability depends in large part on our ability to retain our current customers and our ability to acquire new digital customers at a reasonable cost. Historically, we used direct-marketing programs offering low-priced or free introductory offers as our primary customer acquisition technique. Over the past years, the cost for these programs has increased and we have seen a decline in customer response rates. Our current marketing focuses on customer reactivation and retention and opportunities to acquire new customers through online channels at a reasonable cost. Our customer acquisition and retention efforts may not be effective. If we do not find a way to successfully acquire new digital customers, retain our current customers, or market successfully against competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. We may be adversely affected by actions of competitors The market for consumer photofinishing and digital imaging services is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than we have. We face competition in consumer photofinishing and digital imaging services from other direct marketers, online companies, and competitors in other distribution channels, including much larger companies. Many of these companies provide photofinishing services on a wholesale basis to independent retail outlets and, in some cases, through multiple retail outlets owned by the photofinisher or online service providers. Many of these competitors also provide photofinishing services within hours. There are no significant proprietary or other barriers to entry into the 9 traditional photofinishing or digital imaging industry. Many of our competitors offer similar photofinishing and digital imaging services and products at lower prices and with a more rapid turnaround time than we offer. Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to differentiate our services by offering innovative services and products. Although we believe we are a leader in developing and marketing innovative photo-related services and products, competitors can and do provide similar services and products. There can be no assurance we will continue to compete effectively through development of innovative services and products or that we will respond appropriately to industry trends or to activities of competitors. We may be adversely affected by the outcome of litigation We were a defendant in a claim filed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., with the International Trade Commission. Fuji alleged that a number of companies, including the Company's OptiColor subsidiary, violated patents held by Fuji on single-use cameras by bringing recycled single-use cameras into the United States for resale. The ITC Commissioners issued a final order in June 1999 prohibiting PhotoWorks and our subsidiaries from importing and selling imported recycled single-use cameras. In 2002, the ITC determined that we violated the ITC's previous order through the importation and sale of certain newly manufactured reloadable cameras. We were assessed a penalty of $1.6 million and in September 2003, we negotiated a settlement agreement with the ITC to reduce the penalty to a total of $1,000,000. The settlement included a payment schedule of $250,000 in each of the four years beginning in July 2004. There is a risk that Fuji could bring a civil action against us for damages for patent infringement by reason of sales of cameras that have been found in the ITC proceedings to infringe Fuji patents. If such a suit was filed against us, it could have a significantly harmful impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We are unable to determine the probability or likelihood of such an action. We may not be able to keep up with rapid technological changes in the photofinishing industry The photography industry is currently characterized by rapidly evolving technology and consumer demand for services and products. The introduction of digital services and products that use new technologies could render existing services and products obsolete. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to new technologies and develop new or modify existing services, products and marketing techniques to satisfy changing consumer needs and attract new customers. The expanded use of digital cameras has had a negative impact on companies such as PhotoWorks that have primarily processed traditional film-based images and slides. The development of these or other new technologies, or failure by us to anticipate or successfully respond to such developments, could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition We may attempt to acquire other businesses that are compatible with our business, but we have no current understanding, agreement or arrangement to make any acquisitions. Acquisitions could result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. Since we will not be able to accurately predict these difficulties and expenditures, it is possible that these costs may outweigh the value we realize from a future acquisition. Future acquisitions could result in issuances of equity securities that would reduce our shareholders' ownership interest, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization of expenses related to goodwill or other intangible assets and the incurrence of large, immediate write-offs. We may be adversely affected by national events We rely on the United States Postal Service and other common carriers to receive and deliver orders. Previous terrorist attacks and anthrax contamination disrupted our deliveries. Terrorist attacks or certain alternatives to safeguard the mail through mail purification devices could cause serious harm to our business, financial condition and operating results. 10 We experience fluctuations in quarterly results Our quarterly operating results will fluctuate for many reasons, including: - seasonality of consumer photographic activity, - the mix of products we sell, - promotional activities we conduct, - price increases by our suppliers, - our introduction of new products, - our research and development activities, - our competitors' actions, - fluctuations in the direct-to-consumer market, - changes in usage of digital services and online commerce, - changes in the photofinishing industry and, - general economic influences and conditions. Demand for our photo-related services and products is seasonal, with the highest volume of photofinishing activity generally occurring during the summer months and holiday season. As a result, our operating results for any period do not necessarily indicate the results that can be expected for any future period. Our operating results in a future period may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors which may cause the price of our common stock to decline. We could be required to collect taxes on the products we sell In accordance with current industry practice, we do not currently collect sales taxes or other taxes with respect to shipments of goods into states other than Washington. One or more states may seek to impose sales or tax collection or other obligations on out-of-jurisdiction companies which engage in electronic commerce as we do. In addition, states may aggressively attempt to establish that our Company has presence (nexus) in their state which could subject our mail order business to sales or other tax collection obligations. A successful assertion by one or more states that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of merchandise could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, decrease our ability to compete with traditional retailers and otherwise harm our business. On December 3, 2004, the Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act (Public Law 108-435) was signed into law, extending the Internet Tax Freedom Act that had expired in November 2003. The Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act bans taxes that unfairly single out the Internet, including: taxes on high-speed and dial-up Internet access; double taxation on products purchased over the Internet; and discriminatory taxes that treat Internet purchases differently from other types of sales. We rely on key vendors, suppliers and foreign sourcing Our Custom Photo Books, Signature Photo Cards and keepsakes are produced by third-party vendors. We obtain our conventional 35mm film primarily from Ferrania USA, and our photographic paper and chemicals are available from Eastman Kodak and Agfa Corporation. In addition, we may acquire equipment to maintain and increase capacity from various vendors. The elimination of any one supplier or failure of a supplier to deliver specified goods could cause a material disruption in our operations and could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. We have no significant long-term purchase contracts or agreements to ensure continued supply, pricing or access to film, paper or chemicals. While we believe that alternate sources of third-party providers are available, it is possible that our vendors might not be able to continue to meet our requirements for services or supplies, or purchase services or supplies in sufficient 11 quantities or on terms as favorable to us as those currently available. Also, changing to an alternate vendor or supplier may cause delays, reduced quality or other problems. Our operations may be harmed by political instability causing disruption of trade with foreign countries in which our suppliers may be located. Existing or potential duties, tariffs or quotas may limit the quantity of certain types of goods that may be imported into the United States. Sales of our services and products on a direct-to-consumer mail-order basis largely depend on the U.S. Postal Service and other common carriers for receipt of orders and delivery of our products. Any significant changes in the operations of or prices charged by the U.S. Postal Service or other common carriers or extended interruptions in postal deliveries could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Our production capabilities, management information systems and technology may not be viable We depend on our management information systems, website and technology systems to communicate with customers, process orders, provide rapid response to customer inquiries, manage inventory, and purchase, sell and ship products efficiently. We periodically replace and upgrade certain portions of our systems software and hardware. We take a number of precautions against certain events that could disrupt our systems, including events associated with continuing software and hardware upgrades. Any damages or failures to our computer equipment, technology systems and the information stored in our data center could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. We did experience downtime and system interruptions during the launch of our new website in October 2004. As part of the system conversion, customers were unable to access all of their images stored online. This disruption caused a number of customer complaints and interfered in our ability to provide certain services to our customers. We believe the majority of the issues surrounding the website and systems conversion have been identified and are being corrected. We continually face risks regarding the availability and cost of labor, the potential need for additional capital equipment, plant and equipment obsolescence, quality control, excess or insufficient capacity and disruption in our operations. Our inability to upgrade or adapt our systems to new technology or service our customers with our existing technology could result in a disruption in our online or photofinishing services and could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Governmental regulation could harm our business Our operations, including our transmission of digital images over the Internet, are subject to regulation by the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Trade Commission and various state, local, and private consumer protection and other regulatory authorities. In general, these regulations govern privacy, the manner in which orders may be solicited, the form and content of advertisements, information which must be provided to prospective customers, the time within which orders must be filled, obligations to customers if orders are not shipped within a specified period of time, and the time within which refunds must be paid if the ordered merchandise is unavailable or returned. Congress has enacted legislation to specifically regulate online commerce and communications and has addressed such issues as the transmission of certain materials to children, intellectual property protection, taxation, and the transmission of sexually explicit material. In addition, some states have enacted legislation that makes the transmission of certain kinds of information, such as obscene content and information that facilitates the commission of criminal acts, a crime. Other legislation could result in additional regulation or prohibition of the transmission of certain types of content over the Internet. This legislation could result in significant potential liability to us for content transmitted over our website, as well as additional costs and technological challenges in complying with mandatory requirements. We do not assume responsibility to edit the content of our customers' photographs, slides, digital images or personal home pages unless responding to a specific complaint. Legislation which imposes potential liability for content made available over the Internet through our website could require us to implement additional measures to reduce our exposure to such liability. This may require us to incur significant costs or discontinue certain service or product offerings. Although we carry general liability insurance, such insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to compensate us for the amount of these liabilities. Any costs not covered by insurance incurred as a result of such liability or asserted liability could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. 12 Environmental regulations could harm our business Our photofinishing operations involve the use of several chemicals which are subject to federal, state and local governmental regulations relating to their storage, use, handling and disposal. We actively monitor our compliance with applicable regulations and work with regulatory authorities to ensure compliance. Changes in environmental regulations or in the kinds of chemicals used by us may impose the need for additional capital equipment or other requirements. Any failure by us to control the use or adequately restrict the discharge of hazardous substances under present or future regulations could subject us to substantial liability or cause suspension of our operations. Such liability or suspension of operations could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES The Company's headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington. This 60,000 square foot building which houses our digital and mail order operations is occupied under a lease which expires in September 2010. In April 2004, the Company terminated another lease which was scheduled to expire in September 2005. The annual lease costs were approximately $473,000 per year. Under the terms of the lease termination, the Company was released from its obligations, including obligations for rent, as of May 2005. The estimated lives of the related tenant improvements for those buildings were revised to coincide with the termination date of the lease. This resulted in additional depreciation expense totaling $360,000 during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004. ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We were a defendant in a claim filed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., with the International Trade Commission. Fuji alleged that a number of companies, including the Company's OptiColor subsidiary, violated patents held by Fuji on single-use cameras by bringing recycled single-use cameras into the United States for resale. The ITC Commissioners issued a final order in June 1999 prohibiting PhotoWorks and our subsidiaries from importing and selling imported recycled single-use cameras. In 2002, the ITC determined that we violated the ITC's previous order through the importation and sale of certain newly manufactured reloadable cameras. We were assessed a penalty of $1.6 million and in September 2003, we negotiated a settlement agreement with the ITC to reduce the penalty to a total of $1,000,000. The settlement included a payment schedule of $250,000 in each of the four years beginning in July 2004. There is a risk that Fuji could bring a civil action against us for damages for patent infringement by reason of sales of cameras that have been found in the ITC proceedings to infringe Fuji patents. If such a suit was filed against us, it could have a significantly harmful impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We are unable to determine the probability or likelihood of such an action. We are also involved in various routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. 13 PART II ITEM 5 - MARKET PRICES AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK Our common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol "FOTO." The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sale prices of our Common Stock as reported on the OTCBB. High Low ---- --- Fiscal Year Ended September 25, 2004 First Quarter ................. $1.15 $ .38 Second Quarter ................ .66 .27 Third Quarter ................. .69 .29 Fourth Quarter ................ .49 .34 Fiscal Year Ended September 27, 2003 First Quarter ................. $ .20 $ .07 Second Quarter ................ .26 .10 Third Quarter ................. .36 .16 Fourth Quarter ................ .42 .22 On December 3, 2004, the last sale price reported for the Company's common stock was $.36 per share and as of that date, the common stock was held by an estimated 4,600 shareholders with approximately 465 holders of record. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company is restricted under the covenants of a bank agreement that supports its corporate credit cards from declaring any dividends on shares of its capital stock without the bank's prior consent.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Information This report contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements identified by an asterisk (*). These statements relate to future events, product or service offerings or the future financial performance of PhotoWorks. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements only reflect expectations and estimates of PhotoWorks' management. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Relevant risks and uncertainties include, among others, those discussed in Item 1 of Part 1 under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and those described from time to time in PhotoWorks' other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases and other communications. All forward-looking statements contained in this report reflect expectations at the time of this report only, and PhotoWorks disclaims any responsibility to revise or update any such forward-looking statement except as may be required by law. 15 Controls and Procedures As of September 25, 2004, as part of our annual audit, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to timely alert them to any material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that must be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to their evaluation. We intend to review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and to improve our controls and procedures over time and correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. Our goal is to ensure that our senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning our business. While we believe the present design of our disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve our goal, future events affecting our business may cause us to modify our disclosure controls and procedures. We are in the process of implementing the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which requires our management to assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and include an assertion in our annual report as to the effectiveness of our controls. Our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to whether our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects and separately report on whether they believe we maintained, in all material respects, effective internal controls over financial reporting as of September 24, 2005. We are in the process of performing the system and process documentation, evaluation and testing required for management to make this assessment and for the auditors to provide its attestation report. We have not completed this process or its assessment, and this process will require significant amounts of management time and resources. In the course of evaluation and testing, management may identify deficiencies that will need to be addressed and remediated. Overview PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is an online photography services company. PhotoWorks offers processing and printing services to both digital and traditional camera users, primarily in the United States. PhotoWorks provides customers with the ability to store and organize photos online, share them with friends and family, and order prints, reprints, photo albums, and photo related products. In addition, customers can create unique and innovative Custom Photo Books and Signature Photo Cards offered by PhotoWorks using PhotoWorks' state of the art website. To promote our services and products, we rely primarily on online marketing channels and direct marketing. We believe our innovative products and commitment to customer service promote customer loyalty and increase customer demand.* We strive to increase both average order size and order frequency by informing our existing customer base of our integrated array of services and products. * We also believe that our online archive of customer images is a viable and economic opportunity to monetize a customer's "personal equity" by providing image storage and management services for digital and film-based camera users and through photo output, in the form of Custom Photo Books, Signature Photo Cards, keepsakes, and digital prints and reprints.* Our commitment to expanding our digital service and product offerings is intended to support this strategy.* We use online channels and other direct-marketing media to communicate with prospective customers and our existing and inactive customers. We also utilize a customer relationship management system (CRM) which we installed in December 2004 to enhance our communication with new and existing customers. 16 Our net loss for fiscal 2004 was $1,672,000, compared to a net loss of $4,075,000 in fiscal 2003 and net income of $3,581,000 for fiscal 2002. Our net loss for fiscal 2004 was primarily due to a decrease in net revenues, which reduced our ability to cover our overhead costs. The fiscal 2004 operating costs were lower than operating costs for fiscal 2003 due to cost savings initiatives initiated in 2004. In addition, we settled a dispute with one of our service providers regarding fees for services provided to PhotoWorks, resulting in a reduction of administrative expenses of $738,000. The net loss for fiscal 2003 was primarily due to decreased net revenues and a penalty amount of $875,000 (see Item 3 - Legal Proceedings) assessed by the ITC in fiscal 2003. Net income for fiscal 2002 was due to income tax benefits of $5,673,000 as a result of the "Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act" enacted by Congress in March 2002 which provided for an economic stimulus package of temporary business tax incentives. (See Note G of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Operating results will fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors including lower sales, the level and nature of marketing activities, price increases or decreases by suppliers, introductions of new products, research and development requirements, legal issues, actions by competitors, economic conditions, and conditions in the online and direct-to-consumer market and the digital imaging and photofinishing industry in general.* Cost of goods and services consist of labor, postage, supplies, and fixed costs of production related to our services and products. Marketing expenses include costs associated with customer acquisition and retention, building brand awareness, and testing of new marketing programs. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in developing a new website (launched in October 2004), online image management, developing online photo archiving and photo sharing services, other digital related services, and creating infrastructure necessary to support systems for customer interaction. General and administrative expenses consist of costs related to management information systems, computer operations, human resource functions, finance, legal, accounting, investor relations, and general corporate activities. Critical Accounting Policies Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues, and expenses. Our estimates and judgments are based upon our historical experience, knowledge of economic and market factors, and various other factors that we believe to be relevant given the circumstances. Significant policies, methodologies, estimates, and the factors used therein, are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis with PhotoWorks' Audit Committee. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following is a discussion of the estimates included in our financial statements that encompass matters of uncertainty, whereby different estimates could have reasonably been made or changes in such estimates could have a material impact on the financial statements of PhotoWorks. Reserve for Obsolete Inventory We regularly assess the valuation of our inventory and write down those inventories that are obsolete, or in excess of forecasted usage, to their estimated realizable value. A reserve for obsolescence is also recorded against any film or paper inventories that are nearing their expiration dates. Additional reserves are recorded for slow-moving or discounted stock to the extent it is estimated the materials may go unused based on historical inventory turnover, planned changes in marketing promotions or other anticipated changes in product mix over the next year, seasonality, or other factors. Estimates of future usage are based on estimates of future sales and product mix. If actual sales or product mix differs from our estimates, we may need to record additional reserves for obsolete inventory. 17 Long-Lived Assets Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful asset lives, ranging from two to five years. Expenditures for major remodeling and improvements of leased properties are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the asset. Management reviews these estimates quarterly and if the estimates need to be shortened, the assets are depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life. The customer list intangible acquired from PhotoAccess, as discussed further in Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, is being amortized over its estimated useful life of three years on an accelerated basis in order to better match the expense with the anticipated revenues from the customer list. In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, management commenced negotiating a termination agreement for the leases of two buildings. Based on the assessed likelihood of successful negotiations, the estimated lives of the related tenant improvements for those buildings were shortened from the length of the initially agreed upon lease term to coincide with the actual termination date of the lease. This resulted in additional depreciation expense totaling $360,000 during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company began researching alternatives to increase its operational efficiencies for its film processing operations. The majority of the Company's equipment is related to film processing and has been fully depreciated. However, a few assets had remaining lives beyond management's current estimate of useful lives. The estimated remaining useful lives of those assets was revised to approximately nine months and, as a result, additional depreciation expense of approximately $90,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004. Deferred Revenues Our deferred revenues relate primarily to Prepaid Print Credits and the Pick Your Prints product. With prepaid print credits, customers essentially receive discounted prices on digital products by purchasing bulk quantities of print credits. No revenue is recognized at the time the print credits are purchased. The revenue is deferred until the credits are used to purchase actual products and the products have been shipped to the customer. The Pick Your Prints product, launched in late fiscal 2003, offers film developing with high-resolution scanning. For one price, the customer receives their developed negatives and subsequently orders, online, only the prints they want. The Company defers revenue from the initial film processing and scanning based on the relative fair value of the digital prints to all of the product components. This deferred revenue is recognized when customers order and are shipped their digital prints. In October 2004, this product was enhanced so that the print credits were extendable to all digital products. Given this enhancement and the relative newness of this product offering, management does not believe it can currently estimate, with reasonable accuracy, any breakage on the above products. As more information becomes available over the life cycle of these products, management may be able to reasonably estimate a breakage factor, which may have a material impact on revenues and gross margins. Deferred Tax Assets We have net deferred tax assets totaling $12,312,000, comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to our operating losses, the uncertainty of future profits, and limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards under IRC Section 382, we have recorded a valuation allowance of $12,312,000 against our net deferred tax assets. Contingencies We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims (see Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings and Note M of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, requires that estimated amounts relating to a contingency should be recorded if it is probable that a liability or gain has been incurred and the amount can be 18 reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a loss contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of the outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amounts. In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company was assessed a $1.6 million penalty by the International Trade Commission ("ITC"). This action and potential penalty was previously noted in the Company's filings, but until that time, management had no basis on which to accrue a loss. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, management negotiated a settlement with the ITC, lowering the penalty to approximately $875,000 and therefore, a gain was recorded in that quarter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, management successfully negotiated a settlement with one of its vendors for services rendered in prior periods, which resulted in a gain of approximately $738,000 in that quarter. Results of Operations The following table presents information from our consolidated statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated. Fiscal Years Ended ---------------------------------------------- September 25, September 27, September 28, 2004 2003 2002 ================================================================================ Net revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods and services 72.4 75.2 75.1 ----- ----- ----- GROSS PROFIT 27.6 24.8 24.9 Operating expenses: Marketing 12.0 9.1 10.9 Research and development 7.5 8.3 4.5 General and administrative 16.3 18.2 14.0 ITC penalty -- 3.0 -- ----- ----- ----- Total operating expenses 35.8 38.6 29.4 ----- ----- ----- LOSS FROM OPERATIONS (8.2) (13.8) (4.5) Total other expense (.7) (.4) (.5) ----- ----- ----- LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES (8.9) (14.2) (5.0) Income tax benefits .6 .3 13.5 ----- ----- ----- NET INCOME (LOSS) (8.3)% (13.9)% 8.5% ===== ===== ===== Net revenues decreased 31.5% to $20,160,000 in fiscal 2004 compared to $29,416,000 in fiscal 2003. Net revenues decreased 30.1% to $29,416,000 in fiscal 2003 from $42,093,000 in fiscal 2002. The decreases in net revenues for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 were primarily due to declines in film-based processing volumes which we attribute to increased competition, primarily mass merchants and increased sales of digital cameras. Net revenues from digital-based processing increased in fiscal 2004 to $3,054,000 compared to $2,631,000 in fiscal 2003 and $1,267,000 in fiscal year 2002. We have experienced declines in the effectiveness of our customer acquisition programs and have focused our marketing on programs designed to test new acquisition channels and retain or reactivate customers. Net revenues from traditional film processing are expected to decline further in fiscal year 2005 as we continue to transition our business to meet the demands of the digital camera market.* In fiscal 2002, net revenues included approximately $4,759,000 from ancillary business, primarily our reloadable camera and retail sales. These ancillary businesses were phased out during fiscal years 2002 and 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for fiscal 2004 increased to 27.6% compared to 24.8% in fiscal 2003 and 24.9% in fiscal 2002. The increase in the gross profit percentage in fiscal 2004 compared to the prior periods was primarily due to cost cutting initiatives instituted in fiscal 2004 resulting in lower labor and materials costs and lower indirect overhead costs. In addition, 19 our selling prices for digital services were higher for the first six months of fiscal 2004 compared to the fiscal 2003. Gross profit fluctuates due to the seasonal nature of revenues and revenue per order, combined with fixed operating costs associated with equipment, facilities and fixed overhead costs related to our products and services. * Total operating expenses for fiscal 2004 were $7,213,000 compared to $11,334,000 for fiscal 2003 and $12,351,000 for fiscal 2002. The decrease in operating costs in fiscal 2004 is due to cost cutting initiatives in fiscal 2004. Fiscal 2004 operating costs also included a vendor settlement of approximately $738,000 that was recorded as a reduction in operating costs. In fiscal 2003, operating expenses included $875,000 for costs related to the settlement of a penalty assessment with the International Trade Commission (see Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings). Future periods may reflect increased or decreased operating expenses due to the timing and magnitude of marketing activities as well as expenditures related to development of our digital services and products.* Marketing expenses in fiscal 2004 decreased to $2,421,000 compared to $2,662,000 in fiscal 2003 and $4,567,000 in fiscal 2002. The decreases in marketing expenses in fiscal 2004 and 2003 were primarily due to a shift in our marketing strategy to target our customer base through retention and reactivation marketing programs compared to expenditures focused on customer acquisition. In fiscal 2004, we continued to test and evaluate marketing programs focused on effective customer acquisition. We do not anticipate an increase in the level of marketing expenditures in fiscal 2005. * Research and development expenses in fiscal 2004 were $1,509,000 compared to $2,442,000 in fiscal 2003. Research and development expenses in fiscal 2003 were $2,442,000 compared to $1,891,000 in fiscal 2002. The decrease in research and development expenditures in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to staff reductions and related overhead costs. In fiscal 2004, we focused on upgrading our infrastructure and launching a new website and capitalized approximately $170,000 of costs related to internally developed software. In fiscal 2003, the increase in research and development costs compared to fiscal 2002 was primarily due to increased investments in new digital related services and products. We expect continued investments in research and development in fiscal 2005. * General and administrative expenses decreased to $3,283,000 in fiscal 2004 compared to $5,355,000 in fiscal 2003. General and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003 decreased to $5,355,000 compared to $5,893,000 in fiscal 2002. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, PhotoWorks, Inc. and one of its service providers reached a settlement agreement regarding disputed fees for services provided to PhotoWorks, resulting in a reduction of administrative expenses of $738,000. In addition, fiscal 2004 expenses were lower due to reduced staffing and professional service costs. Fiscal 2003 general and administrative costs were lower compared to fiscal 2002 primarily due to lower staffing, partially offset by increased legal fees. Other operating expenses for fiscal 2003 included costs related to the settlement of a penalty assessment with the ITC of $875,000 (see Note L of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Total other expense in fiscal 2004 was $147,000, compared to $120,000 in fiscal 2003. Other expense in fiscal 2003 was $120,000, compared to $215,000 in fiscal 2002. Other expense consists primarily of interest expense. In fiscal 2004, we recorded a tax benefit of $115,000 related to refundable tax credit carrybacks for fiscal years 2001 and 2002. In fiscal 2003, we recorded net tax benefits of $92,000 related to an AMT adjustment. Fiscal 2002 included tax benefits of $5,673,000 as a result of a business tax incentive contained in the "Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act" a bill, which allowed 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 17, 2004, our principal source of liquidity included approximately $2,125,000 of cash and cash equivalents. 20 The Company has experienced significant revenue declines and has incurred operating losses in the past several years. For fiscal 2004, cash flow used in operations was $1,600,000, primarily attributable to a net loss of $1,672,000. As compared to prior periods the net loss is primarily due to lower revenues partially offset by lower operating costs. While cash flows from operations were positive in fiscal 2003 and 2002, this was primarily due to income tax refunds aggregating $5,780,000 related to net operating tax loss carrybacks. Cash and cash equivalents declined from $4,756,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year to $2,481,000 as of September 25, 2004 and the Company's current ratio declined from 1.46 to 1.10. The Company expects a further decline in cash and cash equivalents in fiscal 2005 primarily due to continued operating losses resulting from declines in film revenues. Management has taken various actions, including workforce reductions and reduced operating expenditures to more closely align its cost structure with its reduced revenue levels and to improve its operating margins and cash flows. Management believes its investments in technology, products and marketing will offer consumers innovative and easy to use digital products and services. The Company also expects to lower its costs through a combination of production efficiencies and use of third-party providers. However, the Company is subject to certain risks similar to other companies serving the digital products and services market such as system performance problems due to technical difficulties, competition from other companies with possibly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources and the risks of executing on its current business plan. On December 22, 2004, the Company announced that it had accepted a non-binding term sheet from an investor group for a $4 million capital investment. Subject to negotiation of definitive agreements and customary closing conditions, Sunra Capital Holdings, Orca Bay Partners and Madrona Venture Group will purchase $2 million in subordinated notes, convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.1078 per share, and receive warrants to purchase an additional 1.9 million shares of common stock at a price of $.21 per share. These subordinated notes will automatically convert into common stock at the conversion price upon approval by the Company's shareholders of a recapitalization proposal that will be submitted to the Company's shareholders at the upcoming annual meeting. In addition, upon approval of the recapitalization proposal, the investor group will purchase an additional $2 million of common stock at $.1078 per share and receive warrants to purchase an additional 1.9 million shares at $.21 per share. Under the recapitalization proposal to be submitted to shareholders for their approval, the holders of the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will convert their shares into 20,746,888 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.723 per share. The holders of the Company's outstanding subordinated debentures due April 2006 will convert the $2.5 million principal balance of the debentures into common stock at a conversion price of $.11 per share. The current conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock is approximately $4.62 per share and the conversion price of the subordinated debentures is approximately $.736 per share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate definitive agreements with the investor group or obtain alternate sources of financing. See Item 1 of Part I-"Risk Factors." Management believes that if the Company is successful in acquiring the additional financing referred to above and the recapitalization proposal is approved, based on its current operational plans, current cash balances and future cash flows, the Company will have sufficient cash to fund its operations through September 2005. However, if the Company is not able to successfully complete the proposed financing and related recapitalization, the Company will need to raise additional financing and may need to further reduce its expenditures to be able to continue operations through September 2005. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,600,000 compared to net cash generated of $3,930,000 in fiscal 2003 and $1,445,000 in fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2004, the net cash used was primarily due to the net loss and reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by non-cash depreciation In fiscal 2003, we generated cash from operating activities primarily due to tax refunds we received of $1,915,000 and the utilization of certain prepayments for expenditures made in fiscal 2002 of $3,455,000, primarily for prepayment of postage and other shipping costs and maintenance contracts. In fiscal 2002, we generated cash from operations due to a decrease in operating costs combined with the tax benefits discussed above. 21 Net cash used in investing activities was $688,000 in fiscal 2004 compared to $256,000 in fiscal 2003 and $583,000 in fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, we purchased additional equipment to support our digital strategy. We have plans for capital expenditures as needed, including $210,000 for a new customer relationship management system and $150,000 for additional computer hardware to support the website and related infrastructure in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.* Net cash from financing activities was $13,000 for fiscal 2004 compared to net cash used of $93,000 in fiscal 2003 and $2,548,000 in fiscal 2002. Net cash from financing activities in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to stock option exercises. Fiscal 2003 included payments for lease obligations and in fiscal 2002, we paid off our bank loan of $2,350,000. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.1 at the end of fiscal 2004 compared to 1.46 to 1 at the end of fiscal 2003 and 1.80 to 1 at the end of fiscal 2002. The decrease in fiscal 2004 is primarily due to the use of cash to fund operations for fiscal 2004. The decrease in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002 is primarily due to a decrease in income tax receivable and prepaid expenses, partially offset by increased cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in accounts payable. As of September 25, 2004, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under non-cancelable leases, our settlement with the ITC, and our convertible debentures, detailed as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal Future 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Years ------------------------------------------------------- Lease $ 604 $ 434 $ 415 $ 410 $ 410 $ 410 ITC 250 250 250 -- -- -- Convertible debt -- 2,500 -- -- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------- $ 854 $3,184 $ 665 $ 410 $ 410 $ 410 ======================================================= Inflation The results of our operations have not been significantly affected by inflation during the last three fiscal years. ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Not material. ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See pages 23 through 40. 22 Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Shareholders and Board of Directors PhotoWorks, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PhotoWorks, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 25, 2004, and September 27, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 25, 2004. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PhotoWorks, Inc. and subsidiaries at September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 25, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note B, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a shareholder deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also described in Note B. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Seattle, Washington October 29, 2004, except for Note B, as to which the date is December 22, 2004 23 PHOTOWORKS, INC.

See notes to consolidated financial statements 27 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A -- OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PHOTOWORKS, INC: ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is an online photography services company. PhotoWorks offers processing and printing services to both digital and traditional camera users, primarily in the United States. PhotoWorks provides customers with the ability to store and organize photos online, share them with friends and family, and order prints, reprints, photo albums, and photo related products. In addition, customers can create Custom Photo Books and Signature Photo Cards using PhotoWorks' website. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include PhotoWorks, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. SEGMENT REPORTING: The Company currently operates in one business segment. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, credit card receivables, and highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less on date of purchase. ACCOUNTS/OTHER RECEIVABLES: Accounts and other receivables primarily include rebates and other amounts due from vendors. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the Company's historical loss percentage for bad debts along with consideration given to the aging of the receivables. The Company has a long-term receivable due from a vendor as part of a settlement over disputed services. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company receives $95,000 annually for 4 years. The first payment was received in July 2004. The fair value of the receivable was determined at the time of the settlement (February 2004) and the Company is recognizing imputed interest income on a monthly basis. Management believes the carrying amount of this receivable approximates its fair value and no risk of loss currently exists based on the financial strength of the vendor. OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying values of financial instruments such as trade receivables and payables, approximate their fair values, based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The ITC penalty, vendor settlement and capital lease obligations were entered into recently and there have been no significant changes in interest rates or credit risk of the Company since; therefore the carrying values of those financial instruments also approximate their fair values. INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of film and photofinishing supplies. An inventory reserve is established for those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage or their estimated net realizable value. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful asset lives, ranging from two to five years. Expenditures for major remodeling and improvements of leased properties are capitalized as leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the asset. Management reviews these estimates quarterly and if the estimates need to be shortened, the assets are depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life. The customer list intangible acquired from PhotoAccess, as discussed further in Note C, is being amortized over its estimated useful life of three years on an accelerated basis in order to better match the expense with the anticipated revenues from the customer list. This asset was recently valued at its current fair value and therefore no impairment is known to management at this time. Estimated amortization is currently $58,000, $27,000, and $7,000 in fiscal 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively. 28 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE A -- OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) INCOME TAXES: The benefit or provision for federal income taxes is generally computed based on pretax income. However, the benefit or provision may differ from income taxes currently payable or receivable, because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for federal income tax purposes. As more fully described in Note G, the net operating losses for both book and tax purposes exceed amounts available for operating loss carrybacks. Due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of these deferred assets, a valuation allowance has been recorded. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition Disclosures," and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, the Company's stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of grant. On December 16, 2004, SFAS No. 123R was released, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition and the pro forma information will be included in the body of the financial statements after this statement is adopted by the Company. This statement is effective for the Company in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Management is still evaluating the transition provisions allowed by the Statement. Under Statement No. 123, if the Company had elected to recognize the compensation cost based upon the fair value of the options at grant date, net income (loss) would have been changed as follows:
September 25, September 27, September 28, 2004 2003 2002 --------------------------------------------- (in thousands, except per share data) Net income (loss) as reported $ (1,672) $ (4,075) $ 3,581 Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in net income, net of related tax benefits 158 -- -- Deduct: Stock based compensation as determined under FAS 123, net of related tax effects (470) (446) (544) --------- --------- --------- Pro forma net income (loss) $ (1,984) $ (4,521) $ 3,037 ========= ========= ========= Basic earnings (loss) per share as reported $ (.10) $ (.24) $ .22 Diluted earnings (loss) per share as reported $ (.10) $ (.24) $ .21 Pro forma basic earnings (loss) per share $ (.12) $ (.27) $ .18 Pro forma diluted earnings (loss) per share $ (.12) $ (.27) $ .18
Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value for the options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions on the option grant date: Fiscal 2004 Fiscal 2003 Fiscal 2002 ------------------------------------------ Risk free interest rate 2.81% 2.23% 2.68% Expected volatility 151.92% 180.85% 134.95% Expected option life 2.92 years 3.33 years 3.00 years Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 29 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE A -- OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The pro forma effects on net income (loss) for fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002 are not indicative of pro forma effects in future years because additional grants in future years are anticipated. REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped or services are delivered. The Company provides its customers with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The majority of the Company's products and services will not be returned but customers can request a refund if not satisfied. During fiscal year 2004, refunds were less than 1% of net revenues. An allowance is recorded for expected future returns. DEFERRED REVENUES: Deferred revenues relate primarily to Prepaid Print Credits and the Pick Your Prints product. The Company recognizes the revenue from these offerings based on the relative fair values of the products contained in the offers when such products are actually shipped. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE: - The Company calculates earnings per share 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 during the period. See Note I. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS: These costs are included in the cost of goods and services. ADVERTISING COSTS: Advertising costs are recorded as expenses when incurred. Costs of printed direct mail promotional materials are recorded as expenses during the period in which they are mailed or otherwise disseminated to customers. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. NOTE B -- LIQUIDITY The Company has experienced significant revenue declines and has incurred operating losses in the past several years. For fiscal 2004, cash flow used in operations was $1,600,000, primarily attributable to a net loss of $1,672,000. As compared to prior periods the net loss is primarily due to lower revenues partially offset by lower operating costs. While cash flows from operations were positive in fiscal 2003 and 2002, this was primarily due to income tax refunds aggregating $5,780,000 related to net operating tax loss carrybacks. Cash and cash equivalents declined from $4,756,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year to $2,481,000 as of September 25, 2004 and the Company's current ratio declined from 1.46 to 1.10. The Company expects a further decline in cash and cash equivalents in fiscal 2005 primarily due to continued operating losses resulting from declines in film revenues. 30 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE B - LIQUIDITY (Continued) The Company has taken various actions, including workforce reductions and reduced operating expenditures to more closely align its cost structure with its reduced revenue levels and to improve its operating margins and cash flows. The Company also expects to lower its costs through a combination of production efficiencies and use of third-party providers. However, the Company is subject to certain risks similar to other companies serving the digital products and services market such as system performance problems due to technical difficulties, competition from other companies with possibly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources and the risks of executing on its current business plan. On December 22, 2004, the Company announced that it had accepted a non-binding term sheet from an investor group for a $4 million capital investment. Subject to negotiation of definitive agreements and customary closing conditions, Sunra Capital Holdings, Orca Bay Partners and Madrona Venture Group will purchase $2 million in subordinated notes, convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $.1078 per share and warrants to purchase an additional approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock at a price of $.21 per share. These subordinated notes will automatically convert into common stock at the conversion price upon approval by the Company's shareholders of a recapitalization proposal that will be submitted to the Company's shareholders at the upcoming annual meeting. In addition, upon approval of the recapitalization proposal, the investor group will purchase an additional $2 million of common stock at $.1078 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 1.9 million shares at $.21 per share. Under the recapitalization proposal to be submitted to shareholders for their approval, the holders of the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will convert their shares into 20,746,888 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.723 per share. The holders of the Company's outstanding subordinated debentures due April 2006 will convert the $2.5 million principal balance of the debentures into common stock at a conversion price of $.11 per share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate definitive agreements with the investor group or obtain alternate sources of financing. Management believes that if the Company is successful in acquiring the additional financing referred to above and the recapitalization proposal is approved, based on its current operational plans, current cash balances and future cash flows, the Company will have sufficient cash to fund its operations through September 2005. However, if the Company is not able to successfully complete the proposed financing and related recapitalization, the Company will need to raise additional financing and may need to further reduce its expenditures to be able to continue operations through September 2005. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. NOTE C -- PURCHASE OF PHOTOACCESS TECHNOLOGIES ASSETS In August 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of PhotoAccess Technologies Corporation in exchange for 1.2 million shares of the Company's common stock. PhotoAccess was a competitor in the online digital processing business with superior website technology and infrastructure. 31 PHOTOWORKS, INC.

NOTE D -- LEASES The Company leases its main operating facilities, totaling approximately 60,000 square feet for $410,000 per year, expiring September 2010. In April 2004, the Company terminated another lease which was scheduled to expire in September 2005. The annual lease costs were approximately $473,000 per year. Under the terms of the lease termination, the Company was released from its obligations, including obligations for rent, as of May 2005. The estimated lives of the related tenant improvements for those buildings were shortened from the length of the initially agreed upon lease term to coincide with the actual termination date of the lease. This resulted in additional depreciation expense totaling $360,000 during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004. 32 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE D -- LEASES (Continued) The Company leased the majority of the equipment needed to archive and retrieve customers' digital images under three-year operating leases. These leases commenced on the in-service date of the particular equipment and generally expire during fiscal 2005. The Company now utilizes a new archiving method and management does not anticipate that these leases will be renewed. Total payments under these equipment leases were approximately $394,000 annually. At September 25, 2004, future minimum payments under capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases are as follows: Capital Operating Leases Leases ================================================================================ (in thousands) Fiscal 2005 $ 7 $ 597 Fiscal 2006 7 427 Fiscal 2007 5 410 Fiscal 2008 -- 410 Fiscal 2009 -- 410 Thereafter -- 410 ------- ------- 19 $ 2,664 ======= Amounts representing interest (2) ------- Present value of net minimum lease payments $ 17 ======= Rental expense relating to facilities operating leases for fiscal years 2004, 2003, and 2002, was $715,000, $1,067,000 and $1,303,000, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) NOTE E -- PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company began researching alternatives to increase its operational efficiencies for its film processing operations. The majority of the Company's equipment is related to film processing and has been fully depreciated. However, a few assets had remaining lives beyond management's current estimate of useful lives. The estimated remaining useful lives of those assets was revised to approximately nine months and, as a result, additional depreciation expense of approximately $90,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004. NOTE F -- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES In April 2001, the Company issued $2,500,000 of convertible debentures carrying a 7% interest rate and is convertible, at the discretion of the holders, into Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $75.00 per share. 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 $.75 per common share). The Series B Preferred Stock has a preference on sale or liquidation of the Company of $5,000,000. If not previously converted, the debentures are required to be repaid in April 2006. NOTE G-- INCOME TAXES During fiscal 2002, the Company recognized a tax benefit for net operating loss carrybacks. Due to the size of the carryback, the computation was subject to a standard review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. As a result of this review, completed during fiscal 2004, the IRS determined the Company was entitled to additional tax credits of $115,000, which was recorded as a tax benefit in 2004.

NOTE M -- CONTINGENCIES The Company was a defendant in a claim filed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. with the International Trade Commission. There is a risk that Fuji could bring a civil action against the Company for damages for patent infringement by reason of sales of cameras that have been found in the International Trade Commission proceedings to infringe Fuji patents. If such a suit was filed against the Company, it could have a significantly harmful impact on its financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company is unable to determine the probability or likelihood of such an action. The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. 39 PHOTOWORKS, INC.
