Frank F. Khulusi is our co-founder (and co-founded our predecessor) and has served as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since our inception in 1987. Mr. Khulusi served as our President from our inception in 1987 until July 1999, and he resumed that office in March 2001. From July 1999 to September 1999, Mr. Khulusi served as President of Toytime, Inc., an online retailer of toys. In July 2000, a petition for involuntary bankruptcy was filed against Toytime under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which was dismissed by a federal bankruptcy court in November 2000.

Thomas A. Maloof has served as one of our directors since May 1998. Since January 2001, Mr. Maloof has served as the Chief Financial Officer of HMC, Inc., a hospitality company. From February 1998 to November 2000, Mr. Maloof served as President of Perinatal Practice Management, Inc. From September 1997 until February 1998, Mr. Maloof served as Chief Financial Officer of Prospect Medical Holdings. From January 1995 until September 1997, Mr. Maloof was the Chief Executive Officer of Prime Health of Southern California.

Ronald B. Reck has served as one of our directors since April 1999. Mr. Reck was employed by Applebee's International from 1987 to 1997, serving most recently as Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. Since 1998, Mr. Reck has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Joron Properties, LLC, a real estate company.

Mark C. Layton has served as one of our directors since May 2001. Mr. Layton is currently Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PFSweb, Inc., a provider of business process outsourcing services. From 1988 through 2000, Mr. Layton served in various roles at Daisytek International, a global distributor of office consumables and computer supplies, most recently as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and also served as Chairman of the Board of Daisytek from September 1999 to October 2000. Prior to joining Daisytek, Mr. Layton was a management consultant with Andersen Consulting (Accenture) for eight years, specializing in wholesale and retail distribution and technology. Mr. Layton also serves as an Associate Editor for the Center for Cycle Time Research at the University of Memphis, and serves on the Dean's Advisory Council at Northern Arizona University College of Business Administration.

Identification of Our Audit Committee

We have a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The members of our audit committee are Thomas A. Maloof, Mark C. Layton and Ronald B. Reck. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of our audit committee is "independent" as that term is defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and is an "independent director" as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Layton and Maloof is an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined by SEC regulations.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to each of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at www.pcmall.com. Any amendment to or waiver from our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics as it applies to our executive officers or directors will also be posted on our website.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Forms 4 or 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are also required by the SEC's rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms we received, or representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and ten percent stockholders were complied with except that: (i) Mr. Maloof filed two Form 4s late with respect to two transactions; (ii) Messrs. Layton and Reck filed a Form 4 late with respect to one transaction each; and (iii) Mr. Khulusi reported a gift late on Form 5.

(1)   There was no public trading market for the common stock of eCOST.com as of December 31, 2003. Accordingly, the value of unexercised in-the-money options listed in the table has been calculated on the basis of $6.75 per share, which was the assumed fair value of the eCOST.com common stock at December 31, 2003, less the applicable exercise price per share, multiplied by the number of shares underlying such options.

(2)   The options to purchase eCOST.com common stock granted under the eCOST.com 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and reflected in this table are exercisable, even if vested, only upon the earlier to occur of an initial public offering of eCOST.com common stock, a merger or consolidation or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of eCOST.com, or the lapse of five or seven years from the date of grant.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Maloof, Layton and Reck served as members of our Compensation Committee during the last fiscal year. In March 2004, Mr. Reck replaced Mr. Maloof on the Compensation Committee. There are no Compensation Committee interlocks between us and other entities involving our executive officers and Board members who serve as executive officers of such companies.

Employment Agreements and Change-in-Control Arrangements

In January 1995, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with Frank F. Khulusi (the "Employment Agreement''). Although the original term of the Employment Agreement expired January 1, 1998, the Employment Agreement further provides for one-year automatic extensions if the Employment Agreement is not terminated by us or Mr. Khulusi. In 1997, the Employment Agreement provided for an annual base salary to Mr. Khulusi of $400,000. Effective July 1, 2002, the Compensation Committee amended the Employment Agreement to increase Mr. Khulusi's annual salary from $400,000 to $600,000. For further detail regarding Mr. Khulusi's current salary, see "Executive Compensation--Summary Compensation Table." The Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Khulusi is entitled to certain severance benefits in the event that his employment is terminated by us "without cause'' or by Mr. Khulusi for "good reason'' or following a "change of control'' (all as defined in the Employment Agreement). In such cases, Mr. Khulusi would receive two times his salary and bonus for the preceding twelve months in a lump sum distribution following notice of termination.

In January 2000, we entered into an employment agreement with Kristin M. Rogers. Pursuant to this agreement, Ms. Rogers' compensation included (i) an annual base salary of $250,000 and (ii) an annual bonus of $125,000 based upon the achievement of annual goals mutually agreed upon by us and Ms. Rogers. In addition, we agreed to grant Ms. Rogers an option to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of PCM.com Business Solutions, one our wholly owned subsidiaries, vesting at a rate of 25% per year on each anniversary date of the option (the "PCM Option"), and an option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock vesting over a period of four years (the "Company Option"). However, any exercise of the Company Option will result in the immediate and automatic termination of the entire PCM Option. Likewise, any exercise of the PCM Option will result in the immediate and automatic termination of the entire Company Option. The employment agreement also provides that in the event Ms. Rogers is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), upon the execution of a separation agreement satisfactory to us, Ms. Rogers is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to six months of her base compensation. Ms. Rogers' annual base salary was increased to $257,500 during fiscal year 2003. Additionally, instead of receiveing an annual bonus as set forth in her employment agreement, Ms. Rogers now participates in our executive bonus plan, which provides for bonus awards based upon the achievement of specified goals established depending upon the participant's function in the organization.

Upon the occurrence of (i) certain events resulting in a change of control of our company or (ii) certain major corporate transactions, all of the unvested stock options we have granted to the named executive officers will become fully vested and exercisable, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

Compensation of Directors

During fiscal year 2003, we compensated each non-employee director a quarterly retainer of $4,000, plus $2,500 for each board meeting attended, and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended. Directors are eligible to participate in our 1994 Stock Incentive Plan. On October 16, 2003, we granted an option to purchase 6,000 shares of our common stock to each of Mark C. Layton, Thomas A. Maloof, and Ronald B. Reck. Each of the foregoing option grants were made under our 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, and the options were granted at $10.07 per share (which was the fair market value as of the date of grant), vest 50% per year over a 2-year period, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. On October 16, 2003, we increased our compensation for non-employee directors to provide for a quarterly retainer of $6,000, plus $2,500 for each board meeting attended, $1,000 for each committee meeting attended, and $500 for each telephonic meeting. In addition, our audit committee chairman will receive an annual retainer of $2,500.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 28, 2004 by: (i) each of the named executive officers; (ii) each director; (iii) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and (iv) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

The options granted to Mr. Assadi vest in equal annual installments over a five year period, and the options granted to Mr. Zuiker vest in equal quarterly installments over a three year period. The options expire three months after termination of the option holder's employment with us. Upon the occurrence of certain events resulting in a change of control of our company or certain major corporate transactions, the options become fully vested and exercisable, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. With respect to these options granted to Messrs. Assadi and Zuiker, options to purchase a total of 18,000 shares of our common stock remained outstanding as of December 31, 2003. Further, in June 2003, we issued a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock to a consulting firm for investor and public relations services. The warrant was issued at an exercise price of $3.99 with a five year term, and vests monthly over a one year period from the date of grant.
 

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

In January 2003, following the recommendation of an independent committee of the Board of Directors, we entered into a non-exclusive software licensing agreement with Evov Inc. for total consideration of $200,000, whereby we licensed certain software from Evov Inc. Sam U. Khulusi is the controlling shareholder of Evov Inc., and is the brother of Frank F. Khulusi, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity available to directors and officers under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate of incorporation, as well as certain procedural protections. We have also entered into transactions with certain of our directors and officers, as described under the heading "Executive Compensation."

 

Sam U. Khulisi, the brother of Frank F. Khulusi, was employed by OnSale, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company, in fiscal year 2003 and earned and/or received compensation in the amount of $200,770. Simon Abuyounes, the brother-in-law of Frank F. Khulusi, was employed by AF Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company, in fiscal year 2003 and earned and/or received compensation in the amount of $265,885.  Further, on November 21, 2003, the Company granted Mr. Abuyounes 20,000 shares at a exercise price of $12.65.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed us in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services it rendered to us for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as for services that are normally provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those years, was $289,320 in 2002 and $304,000 in 2003.

Audit-Related Fees

The aggregate fees PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed us in fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002 for assurance or related services regarding the performance of its audit or review of our financial statements, other than those reported above under the caption "Audit Fees," was $41,900 and $13,475, respectively. For fiscal year 2003, the fees were related to services performed in connection with audits of our subsidiaries and for accounting research, and the fees for fiscal year 2002 were related to consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards, and proposed business transactions.

Tax Fees

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not provide us, or bill us for, any professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning in the last two fiscal years.

All Other Fees

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not provide us, or bill us for, any products or services in the last two fiscal years, other than the services performed in connection with the fees reported under the captions "Audit Fees" and "Audit-Related Fees" above.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The audit committee of our board of directors has adopted a policy requiring that all services provided to us by our independent auditors be pre-approved by the audit committee. The policy pre-approves specific types of services that the independent auditors may provide us if the types of services do not exceed specified cost limits. Any type of service that is not clearly described in the policy, as well as any type of described service that would exceed the pre-approved cost limit set forth in the policy, must be explicitly approved by our audit committee prior to any engagement with respect to that type of service. Our audit committee reviews the pre-approval policy and establishes fee limits annually, and may revise the list of pre-approved services from time to time.

Additionally, our audit committee delegated to its chairman the authority to explicitly pre-approve engagements with our independent auditors, provided that any pre-approval decisions must be reported to our audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. If explicit pre-approval is required for any service, our Chief Financial Officer and our independent auditor must submit a joint request to the audit committee, or its authorized delegate, describing in detail the specific services proposed and the anticipated costs of those services, as well as a statement as to whether and why, in their view, providing those services will be consistent with the SEC's rules regarding auditor independence.

During fiscal year 2003, approximately 3% of the fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the services described above under the caption "Audit-Related Fees" were made pursuant to the de minimis exception provided under Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
