     (f)     The Reporting Person is a US citizen


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration:

          On January 16, 2002, $239,031 in principal amount of convertible promissory notes ("Series A Notes") held by the Reporting Person, which were issued pursuant to a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 25, 2001 (the "Series A Purchase Agreement") became indirectly convertible into 2,390,306 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. At any time, a holder of a Series A Note may elect to convert its Series A Note into a number of shares of Series 3-A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series 3-A Preferred Stock") of the Issuer determined by dividing the outstanding principal and interest on the Series A Note by $60, subject to customary adjustment in the event of (a) stock splits and or combinations, (b) certain dividends and distributions, and (c) recapitalizations, reclassification or exchange. The Series 3-A Preferred Stock became convertible into Common Stock upon the satisfaction of certain conversion conditions, the last of which was satisfied on January 16, 2002, when the Issuer filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment") increasing the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock to 500 million. The Certificate of Amendment was filed as Exhibit 3.3 to Item 7(c) of the Issuer's Report on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Person acquired its Series A Note by exchanging $239,031 in principal amount and accrued interest of its Bridge Loan (defined below) for its Series A Note. The Series A Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 4.4 to Item 7(c) of the Issuer's Report on Form 8-K dated June 22, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

         Series A Notes

         On June 25, 2001, pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued an aggregate $4.6 million in original principal amount of Series A Notes, with the terms described below. The Reporting Person exchanged $239,031 in principal amount and accrued interest of its Bridge Loan for a Series A Note with a principal amount of $239,031.



3



         The Series A Notes bear interest at 10.0% per annum and mature on June 30, 2003. Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Issuer have guaranteed the Issuer's obligations under the Series A Notes. At any time, a holder of a Series A Note may elect to convert the Series A Note into a number of shares of Series 3-A Preferred Stock of the Issuer determined by dividing the outstanding principal and interest on the Series A Note by $60. All Series A Notes shall be automatically so converted upon the election of the holders of Series A Notes representing 75% of the outstanding principal amount of all then-outstanding Series A Notes. The $60 conversion price described above is subject to customary adjustment in the event of (a) stock splits and or combinations, (b) certain dividends and distributions, and (c) recapitalizations, reclassification or exchange.

         The Series 3-A Preferred Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Series A Note will have the following characteristics:

         - Redemption. Various redemption rights of the holder terminated upon satisfaction by the Issuer of the Conversion Conditions (as defined below) on January 16, 2002.

         - Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Series 3-A Convertible Preferred Stock has the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series 3-A Preferred Stock could then be converted (without taking into account any restrictions or conditions on such conversion).

         - Conversion. The Series 3-A Preferred Stock became convertible into shares of Common Stock upon satisfaction by the Issuer of the Conversion Conditions, which occurred on January 16, 2002. Each share of Series 3-A Preferred Stock is initially convertible at the option of the holder thereof into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the sum of $60 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions) and all accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series 3-A Preferred Stock by $0.10, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Each share of Series 3-A Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series 3-A Preferred Stock. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustment in the event of (a) stock splits and or combinations, (b) certain dividends and distributions, (c) recapitalizations, reclassification or exchange, (d) reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or sales of assets, or (e) a sale of shares by the Issuer below the conversion price of the shares of Series 3-A Preferred Stock. The "Conversion Conditions" are that either (i) there is an effective amendment to the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company to at least 200 million shares and that stockholders of the Issuer have approved the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series 3-A Preferred Stock; or (ii) the Company has decided not to seek such approvals and the Company has received an opinion of counsel, which has not been withdrawn, to the effect that (x) such approval is not required for the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series 3-A Preferred Stock; (y) such shares of Common Stock, when issued, will be fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable; and (z) such issuance would not violate the rules or regulations of any securities exchange or market on which any of the Issuer's securities are then listed, if any. On November 20, 2001, the stockholders of the Issuer approved the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series 3-A Preferred Stock and the filing of an amendment to the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation to, inter alia, increase the authorized shares of Common Stock to at least 200 million shares. On January 16, the Issuer filed the Certificate of Amendment, satisfying all remaining Conversion Conditions.

         The Certificate of Designations of Series 3-A Convertible Preferred Stock was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to Item 7(c) of the Report on Form 8-K dated June 22, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.

         As of January 16, 2002, the Reporting Person has not converted any of its Series A Note into Series 3-A Preferred Stock.

         Direct Holdings

         The Reporting Person directly holds 2,491,667 shares of Common Stock, of which 2,411,579 shares were acquired on December 18, 2001 pursuant to the Issuer's discharge of its obligations under a $2.25 million loan (the "Bridge Loan") incurred under the Amended and Restated Bridge Loan Agreement dated May 24, 2001, as amended on June 22, 2001 (the "Bridge Loan Agreement"). This transaction was reported in the Reporting Person's Schedule 13D filed on December 28, 2001. The Bridge Loan Agreement and the amendment thereto were filed as Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to Item 7(c) of the Report on Form 8-K dated June 22, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.

         Direct Interest in NetCel360

         The Reporting Person expects that the Issuer will shortly be distributing 935,486 shares (the "Consideration Shares") of Common Stock to NetCel360 Holdings Limited ("NetCel360") as payment in full of all remaining consideration due under the Acquisition Agreement dated May 24, 2001, and as amended on June 22, 2001 (together, the "Acquisition Agreement"), between the Issuer and NetCel360. The Acquisition Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending April 30, 2001 (SEC File No. 000-30326), which is incorporated herein by reference. The Amendment to Acquisition Agreement, dated June 22, 2001, between the Issuer and NetCel360, was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to Item 7 of the Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on July 2, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.

         The Reporting Person anticipates that NetCel360 will distribute the Consideration Shares to its direct shareholders pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the "NetCel360 Plan of Reorganization") under which NetCel360 intends to distribute the Consideration Shares received under the Acquisition Agreement to its shareholders and then be liquidated. In accordance with the distribution procedures set forth in NetCel360's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Reporting Person anticipates that it will receive 27,007 Consideration Shares as a direct shareholder of NetCel360 at such time that NetCel360 makes a distribution. However, the Reporting Person does not control NetCel360 and does not know when such distribution will occur. Accordingly, because the issuance of the Consideration Shares from NetCel360 to the Reporting Person is beyond the control of the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person does not currently beneficially own any of such shares of Common Stock and none of such shares are reported at this time in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D. The NetCel360 Plan of Reorganization was filed as Exhibit 1 to Item 7 of the Schedule 13D of NetCel360 dated July 3, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.

         Indirect Interest in NetCel360

         The Reporting Person is an indirect shareholder in NetCel360 through its interest in Total E-commerce Limited ("TEC"), a shareholder of NetCel360. The Reporting Person is a director of TEC and holds a 24.5% interest in NetCel Limited, which holds 50% of TEC. The other 50% of TEC is owned by a single entity which is not affiliated with the Reporting Person. NetCel360 distributed 644,152 shares of Common Stock, received pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, to TEC on December 15, 2001. The Reporting Person anticipates that under the NetCel360 Plan of Reorganization, NetCel360 will distribute up to 217,212 Consideration Shares to TEC. If TEC were to distribute all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by it to its shareholders, NetCel Limited would receive 430,682 shares of Common Stock, of which the Reporting Person would receive 105,517 shares of Common Stock. It is the intent of TEC and NetCel Limited to promptly distribute any shares of Common Stock to their respective shareholders upon completion of the distribution of the Consideration Shares by NetCel360. However, TEC does not control NetCel360 and does not know when such distribution will occur. Moreover, the Reporting Person does not control TEC and does not have beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by TEC. Accordingly, because the issuance of shares of Common Stock from NetCel360 to TEC, and from TEC to NetCel Limited, are beyond the control of the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person does not currently beneficially own any of such shares of Common Stock and none of such shares are reported at this time in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D.

         Options

         The Reporting Person has been granted options to purchase a total of 6,134,615 shares of Common Stock, of which options to purchase 4,096,218 shares of Common Stock are exercisable within 60 days of January 16, 2002. As of January 16, 2002, none of the options have been exercised.

         General

         Depending on market conditions and other factors that it may deem material to its investment decision, the Reporting Person may purchase additional Common Shares in the open market or in private transactions or may dispose of all or a portion of the Common Shares that it now owns or hereafter may acquire. In addition, the Reporting Person may make proposals and take such other actions as are commensurate with its rights and duties as a director and officer of the Issuer.

         Other than as described in Item 3 and this Item 4, the Reporting Person does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although it reserves the right to develop such plans).


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         Each of the calculations in this Item 5 are based on 39,538,228 shares of Common Stock, which is comprised of (i) 21,431,394 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q, plus (ii) 11,620,310 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Issuer's discharge of the Bridge Loan, as reported in the Issuer's Form 8-K dated December 18, 2001, plus (iii) 2,390,306 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Reporting Person's Series A Note into Series 3-A Preferred Stock and then into Common Stock, plus (iv) 4,096,218 shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to options exercisable by the Reporting Person within 60 days from January 16, 2002.

         (a)     The Reporting Person beneficially owns 8,898,103 shares of Common Stock (including 2,390,306 shares of Common Stock in respect of Series A Notes that have not been converted but may be converted within 60 days from January 16, 2002, and 4,096,218 shares with respect to options that have not been exercised but may be exercised within 60 days from January 16, 2002), which represents 22.5% of all of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

         (b)     The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote and to dispose of the shares of Common Stock set forth in paragraph (a).

         (c)     Except as set forth in Item 4, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock during the past 60 days.

         (d)     Not applicable.

         (e)     Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

         Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D or in the exhibits filed herewith and incorporated by reference, the Reporting Person does not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or power over the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
