See notes to consolidated financial statements (unaudited). Page 5 of 18 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION PHOTOWORKS, INC: ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a leading photo services company, dedicated to providing its customers with innovative ways to enjoy and use their photos, primarily through online and mail-order channels. The PhotoWorks service provides digital printing services and film processing to both traditional and digital camera users, primarily in the United States, providing customers the easiest way to store and organize photos online, share them with friends and family, and order prints, reprints, photo albums, and photo related products. The Company also offers an array of complementary products and services, primarily under the brand names PhotoWorks(R) and Seattle FilmWorks(R). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results have been included. The Company follows a policy of recording its interim periods and year-end on a 13-week basis for comparability of results and to be consistent with its internal weekly reporting. Operating results for the first quarter ended December 28, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2003. For further information, refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under Item 2 below and under Item 7 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2002 and the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto also included in the Company's Annual Report. NOTE B -- LIQUIDITY The Company has experienced significant revenue declines and has incurred operating losses in recent years. Cash flows from operations were positive in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and for the full fiscal year of 2002, unlike the previous three fiscal years. The fiscal 2002 cash flow was impacted significantly by a $3,865,000 tax refund for the carryback of its 2001 taxable loss. The Company has fully utilized its carryback potential with an additional carryback of $1,808,000 in fiscal 2002. The Company received the tax refund of $1,808,000 in January 2003. Working capital at December 28, 2002 was $3,404,000 compared to $3,792,000 at September 28, 2002 and a deficiency of $2,890,000 at September 29, 2001. While the Company has yet to return to profitability, management believes that its current cash balances and its projected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. NOTE C -- 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. NOTE D -- DEFERRED REVENUES The Company defers revenue related primarily to a Frequent Customer Program, which the Company began testing during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Under this program, after processing a certain number of rolls of film within a stated period of time, a customer receives free processing on their next roll of film. For each roll of film for which the processing is paid under this program, the Company defers a portion of the revenue received and recognizes this upon processing of the free roll, so that revenue from customers in this program is recognized ratably over all film rolls processed. Page 6 of 18 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE E -- SEGMENT REPORTING The Company currently operates in one business segment. NOTE F -- INCOME TAXES Due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of net deferred tax assets of $10,600,000, a valuation allowance has been recorded. The Company's net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 382. In March 2002, Congress enacted changes in the tax law that allowed the Company to carryback additional tax losses that resulted in a tax refund of $3,865,000. Also as a result of this legislation, the Company was able to carryback up to $1,808,000 of tax losses from fiscal 2002, which is recorded as income taxes receivable. The Company received the tax refund of $1,808,000 in January 2003. NOTE G -- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible preferred shares, outstanding warrants and stock options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of loss per share because their effect was antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share:

NOTE H -- CONTINGENCIES Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd - The Company is 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 the Company and its subsidiaries from importing and selling imported recycled single-use cameras. The Company appealed the ITC Commissioners' order to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and that Court issued a decision in November 2001, upholding the order against the Company. In July 2001, the ITC commenced enforcement and advisory opinion proceedings against the Company and several other respondents, based on a new complaint filed by Fuji with the ITC in late June 2001. Page 7 of 18 PHOTOWORKS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE H -- CONTINGENCIES (Continued) This complaint alleges that the Company is infringing certain claims of six of Fuji's patents on single use cameras, through the importation and sales of certain newly manufactured reloadable cameras. The complaint requests that the ITC determine that through these imports and sales, the Company violated the ITC's previous order. It also requests that the ITC bring an action in an appropriate U.S. District Court to seek an injunction and civil penalties for each day in which an importation or sale violating the order occurred in an amount up to the maximum provided by the governing statute. In May 2002, an Administrative Law Judge of the International Trade Commission issued an initial determination that the Company's reloadable camera infringes three patents owned by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd for single-use cameras, and also recommended that the Commission assess a penalty of $1.6 million for such infringement. Since that time, the Commission has upheld the infringement determination and is currently determining what, if any, penalty to assess. The Company expects the Commission's decision regarding any penalty assessment in early 2003. Any action by the Commission is subject to further appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company believes it has strong arguments regarding the infringement determination and any penalty recommendation and intends to pursue such challenges to the extent it deems appropriate. As such, no accrual has been made at this time in the Company's financial statements for this matter. If the penalty amount is upheld, it would have a significantly negative impact on the financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity of the Company. Washington Department of Revenue - The Company has an outstanding tax issue with the Washington State Department of Revenue related to use taxes owed as a result of advertising materials (including order forms) mailed to out-of-state customers. The Company is seeking resolution of the issues involved, primarily related to future periods, as this is an ongoing issue for the Company for tax reporting periods after January 1, 1998. That is, it is reasonable that a future routine audit by the Department of Revenue will result in a further use tax assessment unless the issue can be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company prior to such audit assessment. The Company believes its accrual of approximately $150,000 is adequate for possible assessments related to the outstanding issue. Massachusetts Institute of Technology - On April 25, 2002, a Complaint was filed against the Company and over 200 other defendants by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Electronics for Imaging, Inc. claiming infringement on a patent issued in 1985 for a Color Reproduction System. The Complaint requests injunctive relief, damages adequate to compensate them for Defendants' infringement of the 4,500,919 patent, their costs and prejudgment interest on their damages and reasonable attorney fees. The suit is at an early stage and management of the Company intends to contest the suit vigorously as to the complaint's substantive allegations. Although the Company believes the claim to be without merit, it is not possible to predict an outcome at this time or the potential affect on its business or financial condition. Sharon Drinkard, et al vs. PhotoWorks, Inc. - A complaint was filed in March 2000, alleging that the Company had engaged in unfair and deceptive practices by allegedly misrepresenting that film received from the Company, must be processed only by the Company and that replacement film is "free". Without admitting wrongdoing or liability, and for the sole purpose of compromising disputed claims and avoiding costs and risks of further litigation, PhotoWorks and the plaintiffs, who represented the Class, agreed to a settlement which was approved by the Court in July 2001. In fiscal 2001, the Company accrued a total of $675,000 related to the future distribution of 900,000 rolls of film pursuant to the terms of the final settlement. As of September 28, 2002, the Company had distributed approximately $675,000 of film, thus fully discharging its liability under the settlement terms. Although the Company believes it has a reasonable position relative to the claims listed above, it is not possible to predict an outcome at this time or the potential affect on its business or financial condition. The Company's defense of these claims will cause it to incur additional legal expenses. The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. Page 8 of 18 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This report contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events, product or service offerings or the future financial performance of the Company. 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 the Company's management's expectations and estimates. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include the ability to generate cash to fund operating activities or obtain additional funding; system performance problems due to technical difficulties, system malfunctions, Internet interruptions or other factors; marketing activities, pricing and other activities by competitors; economic and industry factors, and other risks including those described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and those described from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases and other communications. Any forward-looking statements in this report reflect the Company's expectations at the time of this report only, and the Company disclaims any responsibility to revise or update any such forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. General PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a leading photo services company dedicated to providing its customers with innovative ways to create and tell the stories of their lives through photos. The Company offers an array of complementary services and products primarily under the brand names PhotoWorks(R) and Seattle FilmWorks(R). To promote its service and products, the Company relies primarily on direct marketing via mail and online email programs. Management believes its complementary value-added services and products promote customer loyalty and increase customer demand. The Company strives to increase both average order size and order frequency by informing its existing customer base of its integrated array of services and products. The Company also believes that the online archive provides an opportunity to monetize its customer's "personal equity" through photo output, in the form of prints, reprints, and gifts for traditional and digital camera users. The Company's commitment to expanding its digital service and product offerings is intended to support this strategy. The Company uses email and other direct-marketing media to effectively communicate with both its existing and inactive customers. The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was $1,050,000, or a loss of $.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $167,000 or a loss of $.01 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Operating results may fluctuate in the future due to changes in the mix of sales, marketing and promotional activities, price increases by suppliers, introductions of new products, research and development requirements, actions by competitors, conditions in the direct-to-consumer market and the photofinishing industry in general, national and global economic conditions and other factors. Demand for the Company's services and products is generally seasonal. However, seasonality of demand may be offset by changes in the effectiveness of marketing programs, the introduction of new services and products, actions by competitors, production difficulties and other factors. Net income is affected by the seasonality of the Company's net revenues due to the fixed nature of a portion of the Company's operating expenses, seasonal variation in sales mix, and the Company's practice of relatively higher marketing program expenditures prior to the summer months. Page 9 of 18 Critical Accounting Policies Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, and expenses. Management's estimates and judgments are based upon the Company's historical experience, knowledge of economic and market factors, and various other factors that are believed to be relevant given the circumstances. Significant policies, methodologies, estimates, and the factors used therein, are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis with the Company's Audit Committee. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following is a discussion of the estimates included in the Company's 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 the Company. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's historical loss percentage for bad debts as a percentage of sales with consideration given to the aging of the receivables. Additionally, we review customers with large past due balances on at least a monthly basis. Based on our assessment of the financial condition of such customers, past payment history, and other circumstances, we record a specific allowance for those accounts that we determine may be uncollectible. We are unable to predict changes in the financial condition of our customers or general economic conditions. If circumstances related to either of these change, our estimate of an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Reserve for Obsolete Inventory Management regularly assesses the valuation of the Company's inventory and writes down those inventories that are obsolete, or in excess of forecasted usage to its estimated realizable value. A reserve for obsolescence is recorded against inventory for any film or paper inventories that are nearing their expiration dates. Additional reserves are recorded for slow-moving or discontinued 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 management's estimates, the Company may need to record additional reserves for obsolete inventory. Deferred Revenues The Company defers revenues related primarily to a Frequent Customer Program, which the Company began testing during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Under this program, after processing a certain number of rolls of film within a stated period of time, a customer receives free processing on their next roll of film. For each roll of film for which the processing is paid under this program, the Company defers a portion of the revenue received and recognizes the revenue upon processing of the free roll, so that revenue from customers in this program is recognized ratably over all film rolls processed. Although management believes it is unlikely that all customers in this program will process the requisite number of rolls that entitle them to the free processing, because this program is new, management does not believe it has adequate historical data on which to estimate a percentage of customers that will not achieve this benefit and has, accordingly, deferred the maximum amount of revenue. As more information is obtained, management may be able to determine this percentage within a reasonable range and reduce its deferral of revenues under this program accordingly. Such a reduction may have a material impact on the reported deferred revenues of the Company. Deferred Tax Assets The Company has net deferred tax assets totaling $10,600,000, comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to its recent history of operating losses, the uncertainty of future profits, and limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards under IRC Section 382, management has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Page 10 of 18 Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims (see Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings), the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, requires that an estimated loss from a contingency should be recorded if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. The Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Results of Operations The following table presents information from the Company's consolidated statements of operations, expressed as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated.
First Quarter Ended ----------------------------- December 28, December 29, 2002 2001 ================================================================================ Net revenues 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods and services 77.6 76.7 ----- ----- Gross profit 22.4 23.3 Operating expenses: Marketing 11.0 8.4 Research and development 6.4 3.8 General and administrative 17.2 11.9 ----- ----- Total operating expenses 34.6 24.1 ----- ----- Loss from operations (12.2) (.8) Total other expense (.4) (.7) ----- ----- Loss before income taxes (12.6) (1.5) Income tax provision -- -- ----- ----- Net loss (12.6)% (1.5)% ===== =====
Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were $8,353,000 as compared to net revenues of $11,063,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to declines in traditional film processing volumes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, net revenues from digital printing services increased to approximately 9% of net revenues, or $752,000, compared to 4.5% of net revenues, or $493,000, in the first quarter of the prior year. Additionally, net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 included approximately $700,000 from sales of the Company's preloaded cameras. There were no sales of preloaded cameras in the current year. The Company also closed a number of retail locations in fiscal 2002, which accounted for approximately $300,000 in revenues in the first quarter of the prior year. Net revenues in fiscal 2003 are expected to be lower than fiscal 2002 primarily due to lower film processing volumes. Cost of goods and services consists of labor, postage, supplies and fixed operating costs related to the Company's services and products. Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased to 22.4% of net revenues compared to 23.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due a lower margin on certain digital print services, particularly the Company's $.19 print sale on digital prints, and increased customer service costs related to new services. Gross profit fluctuates due to the seasonal nature of revenues when measured against relatively fixed overhead costs associated with equipment and facilities. Page 11 of 18 Total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased to 34.6% of net revenues compared to 24.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, primarily due to lower net revenues. Additionally, the Company has increased research and development expenditures on its digital initiatives. Future periods may reflect increased or decreased operating costs due the timing and magnitude of marketing activities and research and development activities. Marketing expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased to 11.0% of net revenues compared to 8.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Marketing expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 were higher primarily due to the Company's continued focus on retention and reactivation marketing programs. In addition, the Company is testing marketing programs to acquire new digital customers. Overall marketing expenditures for fiscal 2003 are expected to be lower as compared to fiscal 2002. Research and development expenses increased to $536,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $416,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase is due primarily to investments in new digital related services that will offer digital camera users with solutions to their digital printing needs and offer film based customers the convenience of digital services. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in developing online photo archiving and photo sharing services, computerized online image management concepts, other online services, and creating equipment necessary to provide customers with new digital photographic services and products. Research and development expenditures are expected to be higher in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,435,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $1,316,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase is primarily due to increased legal and accounting fees and costs associated with information and technology services. 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of February 1, 2003, the Company's principal source of liquidity included approximately $3,934,000 in cash and cash equivalents, which includes the $1,808,000 tax refund received in January 2003. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $880,000 compared to $48,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase was due to certain expenditures made in September 2002 of $3,455,000, primarily for prepayment of postage amounts, which is being utilized in fiscal 2003. As of December 28, 2002, approximately $1,747,000 of the prepaid expenditures remain. The decrease in prepaid expenses of $1,899,000 was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $430,000, a decrease in accrued compensation of $346,000 and an increase in net loss. The Company currently anticipates that existing cash and cash equivalents and projected future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund its operations, including any capital expenditures, through at least December 31, 2003. However, if the Company does not generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy its ongoing expenses, the Company may be required to seek external sources of financing or refinance its obligations. Possible sources of financing include the sale of equity securities or bank borrowings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future.
