7. EQUITY (continued)
Common Stock Warrants
On March 31, 2000 in connection with the Merger, the Company issued warrants to purchase 833,333 shares of the Company's common stock to certain investors.
On August 31, 2000, the Company engaged an outside financial advisor. In addition to a retainer of $15,000, the Company granted warrants to the financial advisor to purchase 200,000 of the Company's common stock for $3.75 per share. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $402,143 representing the fair value of the stock warrants at the date of grant. The fair value of the stock warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on a quoted market price of the common stock of $3.75 at the date of grant; a risk-free interest rate of 5.84%; an expected warrant life of 2.5 years; no dividends; and a volatility of 85%.
In November 2000, the Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock for $2.94 per share in conjunction with the issuance of convertible debt (See Note 6).
At December 31, 2000, the weighted average exercise price of all outstanding warrants issued was $1.98 per share.
8. WRITE-DOWN OF ACQUISITION DEPOSIT
During 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire On Demand Machine Company ("ODMC"). In connection with the proposed acquisition, the Company deposited $300,000 with ODMC which was refundable in the event the acquisition was not completed. The acquisition was not consummated and ODMC has indicated to the Company that any return of the deposit will be in ODMC common stock. Given the illiquid nature of ODMC's common stock, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against the common stock. A member of the Company's management is a greater than 5% stockholder in ODMC.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases - The Company leases office facilities and certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through October 2005.

Purchase of Copytron, Inc. Customer List - In connection with the purchase of a customer list on August 2, 2000, the Company may be required to issue additional shares of common stock (See Note 5).
Consulting Agreements -In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a consulting arrangement with an affiliate of Verus. The consulting agreement provided for consulting fees of $15,000 per month for a two-year period commencing March 31, 2000. The agreement was terminated effective September 30, 2000. The Company paid $30,000 under this agreement, and the balance owed of $60,000 is included in accounts payable at December 31, 2000.
Services Agreement - In March 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Xerox Corporation ("Xerox") to provide reproduction services. The term of the agreement is 60 months and initially included base payment increases over the term of the agreement. The agreement was renegotiated in May 2000. The total amount of the initial base service payments is being charged to expense using the straight-line method over the term of the agreement. The Company has recorded a deferred credit to reflect the excess of the services expense over cash payments since the inception of the agreement. Deferred lease credits of $45,000 and $33,750 are reported within other accrued expenses and $101,250 and $146,250 are reflected in deferred lease obligation within the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. One member of the Company's Board of Directors serves in an executive capacity at Xerox. Future scheduled minimum payments under the service agreement are as follows:
Year Ending December 31, ------------------------ 2001 $ 894,276 2002 894,276 2003 894,276 2004 223,569 ---------- Total $2,906,397 ==========
At December 31, 2000, included in accounts payable are past due amounts on prior service payments aggregating $455,627. On January 10, 2001, the Company refinanced this amount into a promissory note (See Note 13). A stockholder has personally guaranteed the Company's performance under the note.
Litigation - The Company was previously in litigation with Advizex, Inc. for which a settlement was reached on June 5, 2001. The Company intends to enter into a Consent Judgement which will require the Company to pay $120,000 in cash beginning in July 2001 in equal installments over a twelve month period. In addition, the Company will be required to issue common stock to Advizex with a value of $120,000 based on the June 5, 2001 market price per share of $.73. The Company has provided for the cost of this settlement at December 31, 2000.
The Company is party in various legal proceedings and potential claims arising in the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be predicted, and assuming the Company raises adequate funding, management does not believe, after consultation with counsel, the settlement of these claims, if any, will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or the results of its operations.

10. INCOME TAXES
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:
December 31, ---------------------------- 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- Deferred tax assets (liabilities): Net operating loss carryforwards .............. $ 5,017,000 $ 2,019,000 Allowance for sales returns ................... 31,000 37,000 Depreciation and amortization ................. (7,000) (8,000) Accrued vacation .............................. 23,000 14,000 Accrued interest .............................. 7,000 146,000 Deferred credit ............................... 59,000 72,000 Amortization of the customer list ............ 23,000 -- ----------- ----------- 5,153,000 2,280,000 Less valuation allowance ........................ (5,153,000) (2,280,000) ----------- ----------- Net deferred tax assets ...................... $ -- $ -- =========== ===========
The increase in the Company's valuation allowance for the periods presented results principally from the increase in the Company's deferred tax assets related to the operating losses. The Company has established a valuation allowance at December 31, 2000 and 1999 because of uncertainties regarding its ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the applicable tax jurisdiction to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards during the carryforward period and to realize the full benefit from future tax deductions.
The Company has federal and state tax net operating loss carryforwards available for future periods of approximately $12,542,000. The federal tax net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2011 through 2020 and state tax net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2002 through 2005. As a result of the changes in the ownership of the Company, the Company's net operating loss carryovers and certain other tax attributes may be limited under Section 382 of the International Revenue Code.
A reconciliation of the applicable U.S. statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:
<TABLE> <CAPTION> Year Ended Five Months Ended Year Ended December 31, 2000 December 31, 1999 July 31, 1999 ----------------- ------------------ ------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> Federal statutory rate............................ 34% 34% 34% State tax, net of federal impact.................. 6 6 6 Stock-based compensation expense .................
