Extensive
Security and Fraud Protection
.
uBid’s online marketplace provides a trustworthy and secure buying
environment in which we minimize fraudulent activity and questionable
product quality frequently associated with purchase transactions
from
unestablished businesses, individual consumers and other non-commercial
parties. All merchants offering goods in our online marketplace are
required to successfully complete our merchant certification process,
which includes verification of the merchant’s trade and bank references
and other information which establishes that the merchant is in good
business standing. As a result of this certification, fraudulent
transactions in our marketplace are minimized. In addition, we require
all
buyers to provide a valid credit card before placing their initial
bid,
resulting in reductions to the occurrence of fraudulent
bidding.
|
|
§
|
Strong
Brand and Loyal Customer Base
.
We have strengthened our “trust” positioning over the past year through
advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns and consistent delivery
of quality products at low prices. We have amassed over five million
member registrations since our inception in
1997.
|
|
§
|
Broad
and Deep Product Selection
.
We offer over 200,000 high quality, brand-name new, close-out, overstock
and refurbished merchandise in over 200 categories including computer
products, consumer electronics, apparel, housewares, watches, jewelry,
travel, sporting goods, home improvement products and collectible
products
each day.
|
|
§
|
Compelling
Value to Consumers and Merchants
.
We attract new consumers and retain existing consumers by offering
low
prices on high quality, brand-name products in a marketplace supported
by
both auction style and fixed price formats. We provide additional
value to
our consumers by providing timely and accurate order processing,
direct
fulfillment where applicable and in-house customer support. Sellers
are
attracted to uBid because of the large and growing number of potential
buyers. The frequency of product offerings and the ability to continuously
add new items allow merchants to liquidate inventory quickly to minimize
the risk of price erosion. In addition, our auction style and fixed
price
formats allow suppliers and sellers the opportunity to optimize sales
value while simultaneously liquidating excess merchandise directly
to a
nationwide audience, without conflicting with their primary distribution
channels.
|

§
|
Increasing
consumer awareness of uBid’s “trust” position
.
uBid has created a unique position in the marketplace focused on
earning
consumer trust. This position of “trust” is supported by our focus on
business-to-consumer selling (versus consumer-to-consumer selling),
our
efforts to minimize fraudulent sellers by requiring all merchants
participating in the UCM Program to complete a merchant certification
process, significant investments in our customer support services,
internal product warehousing and payment transaction processing and
endorsements from various recognized third party security and privacy
programs. We believe this “trust” positioning will continue to set us
apart from our competitors and provide a meaningful difference in
attracting and maintaining
customers.
|
|
§
|
Expanding
and optimizing customer acquisition efforts
.
Our marketing expenditures are primarily spent on attracting traffic
to
our website. Potential new customers are sourced through a range
of online
efforts including affiliate programs, paid search listings, shopping
comparison programs, online partnerships and e-mail marketing. In
addition, we are also evaluating new marketing channels such as offline
direct response television and radio, in-store media, event marketing
and
single partnerships with key online media companies to broaden our
customer demographics and drive larger incremental gains in customer
acquisition.
|
|
§
|
Implementing
a scalable, cost-effective customer retention program
.
It is critical to have a program that effectively manages new customer
relationships from acquisition to activation (1 time bidding/buying)
to
repeat purchase. We have recently begun investing in the implementation
of
our customer retention management. Our efforts to date have been
focused
on developing programs aimed at improving bidding/buying behavior
among
key customer segments: 1) recent bidders, 2) lapsed and long lapsed
bidders, 3) inactive members (i.e., never bid), 4) registered members
without a credit card on file, and 5) members without an opt-in e-mail
address. In addition, we are working on a long term customer retention
management strategy, which is expected to include development of
a
marketing data warehouse.
|
|
§
|
Increasing
the availability of qualified merchants for the UCM
Program
.
The recruiting of merchants to the UCM Program has become a primary
growth
focus. We are marketing to prospective merchants principally through
online media, including e-mail marketing and online trade media (e.g.,
auction industry newsletters), as well as offline through public
relations
and trade show events. We are also building our own merchant prospect
list
from several sources for use in direct solicitations via e-mail and
direct
mail. These efforts have resulted in a significant increase in the
volume
of qualified prospect applications for
processing.

The
current uBid business was substantially acquired by Petters Group
in April
2003 at which time purchase accounting was applied to adjust all
carrying
values to estimate current market value (after deduction for negative
goodwill) and the business started accounting for all of its costs
of
operations without allocations of such costs from its prior
parent.

Predecessor
financials for the year ended July 31, 2002 and the eight months
ended
March 31, 2003 were derived solely from the accounting records of
CMGI,
the sole shareholder of our predecessor (which acquired our business
in
April 2000), and using historical results of operations, and historical
basis of assets and liabilities of such predecessor's business. The
statements of operations include fees charged for certain corporate
funtions historically provided to us by CMGI, including administrative
services (accounting, human resources, tax services, legal and treasury),
inventory management and order fulfillment, information systems operations
and administration, and advertising services. These fees were allocated
on
a specifically identifiable basis or using the relative percentages,
as
compared to CMGI's other business, net of revenues, payroll, net
cost of
goods sold, square footage, headcount, or other.

Upon
the December 2005 merger with Cape Coastal, which has been accounted
for
as a reverse acquisition, the previous owners of Cape Coastal retained
599,331 shares of $0.001 par value common stock (out of 200,000,000
authorized shares) and the Company assumed net liabilities of Cape
Coastal
of $61. In addition, 444,444 shares of common stock owned by the
previous
uBid stockholders became subject to redemption and were reclassified
out
of permanent equity. These shares were redeemed during 2006. See
Footnote
3.

Concurrent
with the December 2005 merger with Cape Coastal, the Company completed
the
first part of a private placement under which it issued 10,000,003
shares
of common stock and stock warrants valued at $5,200 for an aggregate
of
$45,000. Of the issued shares, 2,222,224 were subject to redemption

On
February 3, 2006, the Company completed the second part of the
private
offering of Units to accredited investors. In this offering, the
Company
sold 3,000,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase
750,002
shares of it’s common stock on the same terms as described above for an
aggregate $13,500. The Company also redeemed the 2,666,668 shares
of
common stock issued in connection to the merger and the first private
offering that were subject to redemption at a price of $4.50 per
share
(and then reissued these shares without the redemption feature
as part of
the 3,000,000 shares sold). The Company also issued 600,667 shares
of
common stock (valued at $4.50 per share) to shareholders of Cape
Coastal
prior to merger and uBid’s financial advisor, Calico Capital Group. In
addition, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 90,000
shares
of it’s common stock to its placement agents on the same terms as
described above. The second part of the private offering resulted
in no
net cash proceeds being retained by the Company. Issuance costs,
including
the value of the warrants and the shares issued to Calico Capital
Group,
were $4,407.

On
April 25, 2007, The Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement
with
a group of private investors under common management to repurchase
2,135,550 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase
580,937 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such private
investors at a combined price of $1.05 for the company stock and
for the
warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $2,242. These shares
and
warrants repurchased in this privately negotiated transaction were
originally acquired by the private investors in the Company’s private
placement that initially closed on December 29, 2005. The repurchase
represented 11% of the common stock and warrants
outstanding.

Organization
and
Operations
|
uBid.com
Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “uBid”), formerly uBid,
Inc., operates a leading on-line marketplace that enables itself,
certified merchants, manufacturers, retailers, distributors and small
businesses to offer high quality excess, new, overstock, close-out,
refurbished and limited supply brand name merchandise to consumer
and
business customers. Through the Company’s website, located at www
. ubid . com ,
the Company offers merchandise across a wide range of product categories
including but not limited to computer products, consumer electronics,
apparel, housewares, watches, jewelry, travel, sporting goods, home
improvement products and collectibles. The Company’s marketplace employs a
combination of auction style and fixed price formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uBid,
Inc. commenced operations in 1997 primarily selling computer and
consumer
electronics on our online auction style marketplace as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PC Mall. In December 1998, uBid completed an initial
public
offering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
April 2000, CMGI, Inc. (“CMGI”) acquired ownership of uBid, Inc. in a
stock-for-stock merger transaction valued at approximately $407,000.
Upon
closing, uBid, Inc. became a wholly- owned subsidiary of
CMGI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On
April 2, 2003, CMGI sold substantially all of the assets and non-related
party liabilities of uBid, Inc. to Takumi Interactive, Inc., an
investment vehicle of Petters Group Worldwide, LLC (“Petters Group”)
formed on March 7, 2003, which changed its name to uBid, Inc. immediately
after the acquisition. As a result of the transaction, uBid became
a
separate stand-alone business owned substantially by the Petters
Group. In
consideration of the asset sale, Takumi paid CMGI (1) $1,613in cash
at
closing, (2) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount
of $2,000
bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%, payable in two equal
installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing,
and (3)
a warrant to purchase non-voting common stock of uBid constituting
5% of
the outstanding common stock of uBid on the consummation of the business
sale.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On
December 29, 2005 (the “Closing Date”) , uBid entered into a Merger
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Cape Coastal Trading Corporation
(the previous public reporting entity), and uBid Acquisition Co.,
Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cape Coastal. Under the Merger Agreement,
uBid
Acquisition Co. merged with and into uBid, with uBid remaining as
the
surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before
the merger, Cape Coastal Trading Corporation was a shell company.
Our
business operations following the merger are those of our wholly-owned
subsidiaries, uBid and Dibu Trading Corporation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
merger was treated as a recapitalization of uBid for financial accounting
purposes. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Cape
Coastal
before the merger have been replaced with the historical financial
statements of uBid before the merger. The name Cape Coastal was
subsequently changed to uBid.com Holdings, Inc. in February
2006.

Summary
of Significant
Accounting
Policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use
of Estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of
revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Year-End
|
The
Company’s fiscal years end on December 31.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
|
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
include financial instruments that potentially subject the Company
to a
concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains its cash balances
in
two institutions and has concentration of credit risk to the extent
deposits exceeded the federally insured limits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restricted
Investments
|
The
Company maintains restricted collateral invested in money market
accounts
and are used as security for the Company’s office lease and purchases from
certain suppliers. Interest on the money market account is earned
at 2.0%
per annum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Company is required to maintain Letters of Credit collateralized
by
restricted investments to support credit lines with certain suppliers.
For
2007, a maximum of $7,000 was available under the credit line described
in
Note 10 eliminating the need for restricted
investments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accounts
Receivable
|
Accounts
receivable consist of amounts due from customers, businesses, and
credit
cards billed for which payment has not yet been received at year
end. An
allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level management
believes is sufficient to cover potential losses based on historical
trends and known current factors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activity
relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts is summarized as

Merchandise
Inventories
|
Merchandise
inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale and are valued
at
the lower of specifically identified cost or market. The Company
establishes allowances for damages, excess and obsolete inventory
equal to
the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market
value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions.
|
|
|
Property
and Equipment
|
Property

Long-Lived
Assets
|
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate the remaining useful life of any long-lived assets may warrant
revision or that the remaining carrying value of such assets may
not be
recoverable. When factors indicate that such assets should be evaluated
for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted
cash flows over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether
the
asset is recoverable. No impairment has been recognized for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Financial
Instruments

Revenue
Recognition
|
The
Company sells merchandise under two types of arrangements, direct
purchase
sales and revenue sharing arrangements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
direct purchase sales, the Company is responsible for conducting
the
auction for merchandise owned by the Company, billing the customer,
shipping the merchandise to the customer, processing merchandise
returns
and collecting accounts receivable. In accordance with the provisions
of
Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, the Company recognizes revenue when
the
following revenue recognition criteria are met: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the product has been shipped
(FOB Shipping Point) and the customer takes ownership and assumes
the risk
of loss; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and
(4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
sales of merchandise under revenue-sharing agreements, the Company
is
responsible for conducting the auction for merchandise owned by third
parties, billing the customer, arranging for a third party to complete
delivery to the customer, processing merchandise returns and collecting
accounts receivable. The Company bears no physical inventory loss
or
returns risk related to these sales. The Company records commission
revenue at the time of shipment. Commission revenues recognized under
revenue sharing arrangements were $5,533, $4,686 and $3,384 for the
periods ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
|
|
|
Shipping
and Handling
Costs
|
Shipping
costs that are billable to the customer are included in revenue and
all
shipping costs that are payable to vendors are included in cost of
revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Handling costs consisting primarily of the third party logistics
warehouse
costs are included in general and administrative expenses and for
the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $560, $767, and
$874 respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Merchandise
Return Policy
|
The
Company’s return policy, for all selling arrangements, is that merchandise
sold by the Company can be returned within 15 days. Returns are subject
to
a 15% restocking fee which are included in revenues. Restocking fees
for
the periods ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $62, $81 and
$71, respectively. However, the Company, although not obligated to do
so, may accept merchandise returns outside the 15-day period if a
product
is defective or does not conform to the specifications of the item
sold at
auction, and attempts to work with its customers to resolve complaints
about merchandise. The Company provides an accrual for estimated
future
returns at the time of shipment based on historical
experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activity
relating to the merchandise return accrual is summarized as

Advertising
Costs
|
The
Company has marketing relationship agreements with various online
companies such as portal networks, contextual sites, search engines
and
affiliate partners. Agreements have varying terms including 1-14
day
cancellation clauses. Advertising costs are generally charged to
the
Company monthly per vendor agreements, which typically are based
on
visitors and/or registrations delivered to the site or at a set fee.
Agreements do not provide for guaranteed renewal and may be terminated
by
the Company without cause. Such advertising costs are charged to
expense
as incurred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total
advertising costs included in Sales and Marketing expense in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December
31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $3,241, $4,377 and $4,297,
respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
|
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123R”). This pronouncement requires companies
to measure the cost of employee service received in exchange for
a
share-based award (typically stock options) based on the fair value
of the
award. The Company has elected to use the “modified prospective”
transition method for stock options granted prior to January 1, 2006,
but
for which the vesting period is not complete. There were no options
granted prior to December 29, 2005. Under this transition method,
the
Company accounts for such awards on a prospective basis, with expense
being recognized in its statement of operations beginning in the
first
quarter of 2006 and continuing over the remaining requisite service
period
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (“SFAS 123”). Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for
employee stock options using the method of accounting prescribed
by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to
Employees, and associated interpretations using the intrinsic method.
Generally, no expense was recognized related to its stock options
under
this method because the stock option’s exercise price was set at the
stock’s fair market value on the date the option was granted. The Company
recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over
the
requisite service period of the award which is generally the option
vesting term of four years. The total compensation expense related
to the
stock option plan for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was
$400
and $708 respectively.
|
|
Income
Taxes
|
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under
this
method, deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted
statutory
tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the income
tax
bases and financial reporting amounts of existing assets and liabilities.
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not
that all
or some portion of deferred income tax assets will not be
realized.
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Net
Loss Per Share
|
The
Company computes loss per share under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The statement requires
presentation of two amounts: basic and diluted loss per share. Basic
loss
per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Dilutive
earnings per share would include all common stock equivalents unless
anti-dilutive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due
to losses in each period presented, the Company has not included
the
following common stock equivalents in its computation of diluted
loss per
share as their input would have been anti-dilutive. Considering the
retroactive reflection of the merger with Cape Coastal and the resulting
share exchange, no common stock equivalents were outstanding until
2005.

New
Accounting
Pronouncements
|
In
July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by
prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required
to meet
before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is
required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal
2007.
When the Company adopted FIN 48 during the first quarter of 2007,
there
was no impact to the consolidated results of operations and financial
position for the period ended December 31, 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using
fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to
investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which
companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information
used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements
on
earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or
permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does
not
expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after
November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the
first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect
that
the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have
a
material impact.
|
|
|
|
On
February 15, 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115"
("SFAS 159"). This standard permits an entity to measure financial
instruments and certain other items at estimated fair value. Most
of the
provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment to
FASB
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," applies to all entities that own trading and
available-for-sale securities. The fair value option created by SFAS
159
permits an entity to measure eligible items at fair value as of specified
election dates. The fair value option (a) may generally be applied
instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election
date
occurs, and (c) must be applied to the entire instrument and not
to only a
portion of the instrument. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning
of
the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early
adoption
is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided
that
the entity (i) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that year,
(ii)
has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of
such
year, and (iii) elects to apply the provisions of FASB 157. We are
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, if any, on our consolidated
financial statements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting
for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of
FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158
requires that the funded status of defined benefit postretirement
plans be
recognized on the company's balance sheet and changes in the funded
status
be reflected in comprehensive
income, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 during the first quarter of 2007
and
there was no material effect to the consolidated results of operations
for
the period ended December 31, 2007.
|
|||
|
In
June 2007, the FASB also ratified EITF 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable
Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future
Research
and Development Activities" ("EITF 07-3"). EITF 07-3 requires
that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will
be
used or rendered for future research and development activities be
deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods
are
delivered or the related services are performed. EITF 07-3 is
effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2007.The Company does not expect the adoption of
EITF 07-3 to have a material effect on the consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
|
|||
|
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141R"). SFAS 141R establishes principles
and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill
acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to
enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the
business
combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and will be adopted in the first quarter of fiscal
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if
any, of
the adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated results of operations
and financial condition.
|
|||
|
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests
in
subsidiaries held by parties
other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable
to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's
ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling
equity
investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also
establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008.The Company is currently evaluating
the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its
consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
|
|
|
|
In
addition, the Company is reviewing the following Emerging Issues
Task
Force (“EITF”) consensuses and does not currently expect that the adoption
of these will have a material impact on its consolidated results
of
operations and financial condition:
|
|
|
|
§
|
EITF
06-2, “Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits.” Issued
in June 2006 and effective for the Company in the first quarter of
fiscal
2008, this EITF applies to compensated absences that require a minimum
service period but have no increase in the benefit even with additional
years of service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
§
|
EITF
06-9, “Reporting a Change in (or the Elimination of) a Previously Existing
Difference between the Fiscal Year End of a Parent Company and That
of a
Consolidated Entity or between the Reporting Period of an Investor
and
That of an Equity Method Investee.” Issued in November 2006 and effective
for the Company in the second quarter of 2007, this EITF requires
certain
disclosures whenever a change is made to modify or eliminate the
time lag
(usually three months or less) used for recording results of consolidated
entities or equity method investees that have a different fiscal
year end
than the Company.

Merger
and Private
Offerings
|
On
December 29, 2005, Cape Coastal Trading Corporation, uBid Acquisition
Co.,
Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”) and uBid, Inc. entered into a Merger Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization. Under the Merger Agreement, Acquisition
Sub
merged with and into uBid, Inc., with uBid, Inc. remaining as the
surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cape Coastal
Trading Corporation (or “Cape Coastal”). Just prior to the closing date,
all outstanding convertible preferred shares and warrants to acquire
common shares of uBid were converted and exercised such that, just
prior
to the merger 3,793 common shares were outstanding which were exchanged
on
a 2,320 to 1 basis on the closing date into 8,800,000 shares of common
stock with up to 444,444 shares of common stock subject to redemption
at a
redemption price of $4.50. The Financial Statements reflect the impact
of
the merger and the resulting exchange of the Company’s common stock
outstanding before the conversion and exercise of the convertible
preferred stock and warrants. The stockholders of Cape Coastal before
the
merger retained 599,331 shares of common stock. Before the merger,
Cape
Coastal was a public shell company. Concurrent with the merger, the
Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name
from
Cape Coastal Trading Corporation to “uBid.com Holdings,
Inc.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
merger was treated as a recapitalization of uBid for financial accounting
purposes. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Cape
Coastal
before the merger were replaced with the historical financial statements
of uBid before the merger. All share and per share data has been
retroactively restated to reflect the implicit conversion ratio related
to
the exchange of shares in the merger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Concurrent
with the merger, the Company completed the first part of a private
offering of common stock shares and warrants (the “Units”) to accredited
investors. The Company sold 10,000,003 shares of its common stock
of which
2,222,224 shares were subject to redemption and warrants to purchase
2,500,003 shares of its common stock at $5.85 for a period of 5 years,
for
aggregate consideration of approximately $45,000. These warrants
were
valued at $2.08 per warrant for an aggregate of $5,200 using a
Black-Scholes model (see Note 16 for pricing assumptions). Some of
the
investors participating in the first part of the private offering
held
notes that were issued by uBid before the merger, including $10,500
of
debt held by the Petters Group and $5,000 of debt held by the bridge
loan
holders. Rather than accepting cash consideration for the Units acquired
by these investors, the Company agreed to issue Units at a rate of
one
Unit for each $4.50 of debt for consideration of the note holders’
cancellation of the existing notes. Of the 3,444,444 Units issued
in
exchange for debt, 2,222,224 Units were issued to Petters Group with
common shares that were subject to redemption at a redemption price
of
$4.50. For debt exchanged with Units that did not have redeemable
common
shares, the value of the securities issued in exchange for the debt
equaled the face value of the debt exchanged, and accordingly, no
gain or
loss was recognized or recorded by the Company. Due to the higher
value of
the redeemable common shares issued to Petters Group, the Company
realized
a loss of approximately $1,156 upon the exchange of debt for Units
with
those redeemable common shares. However, as the Petters Group is
considered a significant related party to the Company, the exchange
was
treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and the
resulting
loss was reflected as a dividend to shareholders rather than as a
direct
reduction of net earnings. Therefore, the consideration the Company
received on the Closing Date consisted of approximately $29,500 in
cash
and $15,500 in cancelled debt. In addition, on the Closing Date,
the
Company issued warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of its common
stock to
the bridge note holders as a financing fee, which warrants are exercisable
for three years at an exercise price of $4.50 and the value of which,
$600, was recorded as interest expense. The Company also issued warrants
to purchase 230,000 shares of its common stock to its placement agents
in
the offering, which warrants are exercisable for five years at an
exercise
price of $4.50 and the value of which, $522, was recorded as cost
of the
equity issuance. These warrants were valued at $1.80 and $2.27,
respectively, per warrant for an aggregate of $1,122 using a Black-Scholes
model (see Note 16 for pricing assumptions). Issuance costs, including
the
value of the placement agent warrants, were
$4,670.
|
|
|
|
On
February 3, 2006, the Company completed the second part of the private
offering to accredited investors. In this offering, the Company sold
on
the same terms as described above for an aggregate of $13,500, 3,000,000
shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 750,002 shares
of its
common stock. The Company also redeemed the 2,666,668 shares of common
stock issued in connection with the merger and the first private
offering
that were subject to redemption at a price of $4.50 per share and
issued
600,667 shares of common stock (valued at $4.50 per share) to Cape
Coastal
and uBid’s financial advisor, Calico Capital Group. In addition, the
Company issued additional warrants to purchase 90,000 shares of its
common
stock to its placement agents on the same terms as described above.
The
second part of the private offering resulted in no net cash proceeds
being
retained by the Company. Issuance costs, including the value of the
placement agent warrants and the shares issued to Calico Capital
Group,
were $4,407.
|
|
On
April 25, 2007, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement
with
a group of private investors under common management to repurchase
2,135,550 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase
580,937 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such private
investors at a combined price of $1.05 for the company stock and
for the
warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $2,242. These shares
and
warrants repurchased in this privately negotiated transaction were
originally acquired by the private investors in the Company’s private
placement that initially closed on December 29, 2005. The repurchase
represented 11% of the common stock and warrants
outstanding

Flooring
Facility
|
During
2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company maintained a short-term $1,000,
$2,000 and $4,000 secured flooring facility with IBM (the “Flooring
Facility”), respectively, whereby IBM made payments on behalf of the
Company to its vendors. Under the terms of the agreement, the Flooring
Facility does not bear interest if outstanding balances are paid
within
the terms specific to each vendor; otherwise, interest is accrued
on
outstanding balances at the prime rate plus 6.5% (effectively 14.5%
at
December 31, 2007). The Company accounts for all Flooring Facility
purchases as a financing cash inflow, with a corresponding cash outflow
for the increase in its inventory. Upon repayment, the cash outflow
is
reported as a financing activity. The net effect on operating cash
flow is
the amount of gross profit generated. Interest expense for the years
ended
and December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 relating to the Flooring Facility
was
$102, $150 and $140,
respectively.

Facility consist of the following:

Long-Term
Debt
|
On
October 3, 2005, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes
in the aggregate amount of $5,000 (the “Bridge Notes”) to two
institutional investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”). In connection
with the issuance of the Bridge Notes, the Company, upon the
first closing of our private offering on December 29, 2005, issued
the Note Holders warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock
for a
period of three years at a purchase price of $4.50. These warrants
were
recorded at fair value as interest expense in the accompanying statement
of operations. In conjunction with the first closing, the Bridge
Notes were exchanged for 1,111,111 Units consisting of 1,111,111
shares of
common stock and 277,778 warrants with a five year life with an exercise
price of $5.85. These shares did not have a redeemable feature and
no gain
or loss was recorded in the
exchange.

On
May 9, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit
and
Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acting
through Wells Fargo Business Credit and related security agreements
and
other agreements described in the Credit and Security Agreement (the
“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for advances to the
Company of up to a maximum of $25,000. The amount actually available
to
the Company will vary from time to time, depending on, among other
factors, the amount of eligible inventory and the amount of eligible
accounts receivable. The obligations under the Credit Agreement and
all
related agreements are secured by all of the Company’s assets. The initial
term of the Agreement is three years, expiring on April 28, 2009.
Up to
$7,000 of the maximum amount is available for irrevocable, standby
and
documentary letters of credit. At December 31, 2007, the Company
had
$2,000 in letters of credit issued as security for purchases from
certain
suppliers. Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a
base
rate (Wells Fargo Bank’s prime rate) or LIBOR plus 2.5%. The Credit
Agreement requires a prepayment fee of $500 if the Company terminates
the
Credit Agreement during its first year, $400 if it terminates the
Credit
Agreement during its second year and $100 if the Company terminates
the
Credit Agreement during the third year. The Credit Agreement requires
the
Company, among other things, to limit capital expenditures and maintain
minimum availability on the line. Also, the Company is obligated
contractually by a restrictive lock box arrangement. The Credit Agreement
also requires the Company to pay a variety of other fees and expenses,
including minimum monthly interest of $10. The Company, as of December
31,
2007, had $70 in deferred financing fees being amortized over the
life of
the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2007, the effective loan
rate was
8.25% and the Company had no outstanding balance and was in compliance
with all the loan covenants.

Employee
Benefit Plans
|
Company
employees participate in a 401(k) savings plan. The plan is open
to all
full-time eligible employees who have attained age 21 and have completed
30 days of service. Participants may make tax-deferred contributions
subject to limitations specified by the Internal Revenue Code. Employee
contributions of up to 3% are currently matched by the Company at
a rate
of 50%. Employees are 100% vested in their pretax contributions at
all
times and become fully vested in the employer-matching contribution
after
two years of service. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006
and
2005, the Company incurred $44, $69 and $70 of expenses, respectively,
related to the 401(k) matching component of this plan.

Contingent
Liabilities
|
From
time to time, the Company is subject to claims and administrative
proceedings, including product liability matters, resulting from
the
conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect
on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In
addition, the Company maintains product liability insurance that
is
evaluated annually and considered adequate. There were no significant
contingencies as of December 31, 2007.

The
Company has estimated federal net operating loss carryforwards as
of
December 31, 2007 of $29,900 that have expiration dates from 2023
through
2027. Pursuant to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the usage
of
these net operating loss carryforwards may be limited due to changes
in
ownership that have occurred or may occur in the future. The Company
has
not yet determined the impact, if any, that changes in ownership
have had
on net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has provided a valuation
allowance against all of its deferred income tax assets as it is
more
likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will not be
realized.

Stock
Warrants

The
Company entered into a warrant agreement with CMGI pursuant to the
terms
of the asset purchase agreement dated April 2, 2003. The warrant
agreement
provided CMGI with the right to purchase shares of nonvoting common
stock
equal to up to 5% of the total fully converted common shares then
outstanding, representing 436,172 shares (on a post - exchange
basis) as of the acquisition date, at a de minimus exercise price.
The warrant was immediately exercisable and had a term of five years.
The warrant was assigned an estimated fair value of $75 in connection
with
the asset purchase agreement as determined by the board of directors
based
upon the value of the preferred stock issued by the Company in connection
with its initial capitalization. The warrants were exercised on
December 29, 2005 prior to the merger described in Note

In
conjunction with the Merger Agreement described in Note 3 and in
accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed
to
use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file, within 45 days
of the
closing of the first private offering (December 29, 2005), a registration
statement registering for resale the shares of common stock acquired
by
the investors in the private offerings, the shares of common stock
underlying the warrants acquired by the investors, the shares of
common
stock retained by the Cape Coastal stockholders that have not already
been
registered, the shares issued to former uBid, Inc. stockholders in
the
merger, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued
to the
placement agents, and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants
issued to the Note Holders. If the registration statement had not
been
filed within 45 days after the closing of the December 29, 2005 offering,
the Company would have been required to pay each investor liquidated
damages, in cash, absent waivers to the contrary, in the amount of
1.0% of
the purchase price multiplied by the amount of securities held by
such
investor as of the date of default. The registration statement was
filed
within the required time. If the registration statement was not declared
effective by the SEC within 120 days of the closing of the December
2005
offering, the Company would have been required to pay each investor
damages, in cash, absent waivers to the contrary, in the amount of
the
1.0% of the purchase price multiplied by the amount of securities
held by
such investor as of the date of default. In addition, the Company
is
required to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the registration
statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the
earlier of the date that all registrable securities covered by such
registration statement have been sold or can be sold under Rule 144(k).
If
an investor is not permitted to sell registrable securities for any
reason
other than the fault of such Investor for five or more trading days
whether or not consecutive, the Company will be required to pay liquidated
damages for failing to maintain the effectiveness of the registration
statement. The liquidated damage payments would be due on a monthly
basis
until the applicable event of the default has been cured. Any such
payments shall apply on a pro-rata basis for any portion of a month
before
an event of default is cured. Any late payments shall bear interest
at a
rate of 1.0% per month until paid in full. The maximum liquidated
damages
the Company would have been required to pay is 20% of the purchase
price
multiplied by the amount of securities held by such investor as of
the
date of default. Absent waivers to the contrary, the maximum penalty
the
Company would be required to pay is $11,700 if the Company was in
default
for the entire 24 month period before Rule 144 would take effect.
The
registration statement was declared effective on July 22, 2006 and
the
Company obtained waivers through that date. As of December 31, 2007,
the
Company has not paid any penalties and is in compliance with all
terms of
the agreement.

2005
Equity Incentive Plan
|
The
2005 Equity Incentive Plan is an equity-based compensation plan to
provide
incentives to, and to attract, motivate and retain the highest qualified
employees, directors, consultants and other third party service providers.
The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan enables the board to provide equity-based
incentives through grants or awards of stock options and restricted
stock
(collectively, “Incentive Awards”) to present and future employees,
consultants, directors, and other third party service
providers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance
under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. If an Incentive Award granted
pursuant to the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan expires, terminates, is
unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to the
Company in connection with an Incentive Award, the shares subject to
such award and the surrendered shares will become available for future
awards under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. Options generally vest
over a
period of four years and have a ten year contractual life. At December
31,
2007 and 2006, the Company had options to purchase 1,530,600 and
1,721,700 shares, respectively, of common stock outstanding to certain
officers and other employees. The compensation costs charged against
income was $400, $708 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2007,
2006
and 2005, respectively, and are included in General and Administrative
Expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
None
of the Incentive Awards granted under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan
were
issued for cash consideration collected from the participants. The
Incentive Awards were granted to participants in the 2005 Equity
Incentive
Plan on the basis of services to be provided to the Company by the
participants.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
fair value of the options awarded during the years ended December
31, 2007

The
risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bill rates.
The
dividend reflects the fact that the Company has never paid a dividend
on
its common stock and does not expect to in the future. Expected volatility
was based on a market-based implied volatility. The expected term
of the
options is based on what the Company believes will be representative
of
future behavior. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected
forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected
to
vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from
our
estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly
different from what we have recorded in the current
period.

The
aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding options (the difference
between the closing stock price on the last trading day of the year
ended
December 31, 2007 of $0.75 per share and the exercise price, multiplied
by
the number of in-the-money options) was zero. This amount will change
based on changes in the fair market value of the Company’s common
stock.

Subsequent
Events
|
On
February 19, 2008 the Company filed a schedule TO “tender offer” offering
eligible employees the opportunity to exchange, on a grant by grant
basis,
their outstanding eligible stock options for shares of restricted
stock
that the Company will grant under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.
Eligible
employees participating in the offer will receive shares of restricted
stock subject to vesting. The number of restricted stock rights to
be
granted in exchange for each eligible option surrendered in this
offer
will be determined based upon an exchange ratio of 3 to 1, with
approximately 805,000 options eligible for this
exchange.
|
|
|
The
offer is being conducted to ensure the Company’s compensation programs
continue to facilitate retention and provide incentive to achieve
future
growth and success for the Company. The incremental accounting cost
of
this exchange is not epected to be
significant.
