Overview and Basis of Presentation	'
	1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company;” “Supplies Distributors” refers to Supplies Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries; “Retail Connect” refers to PFSweb Retail Connect, Inc.; and “PFSweb” refers to PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, excluding Supplies Distributors and Retail Connect.
	PFSweb Overview
	PFSweb is a global business process outsourcing provider of end-to-end eCommerce solutions to major brand name companies seeking to optimize their supply chain and to enhance their traditional and online business channels and initiatives in the United States, Canada, and Europe. PFSweb offers a broad range of service offerings that include website design, creation and integration, digital marketing, eCommerce technologies, order management, customer care, logistics and fulfillment, financial management and professional consulting.
	Supplies Distributors Overview
	Supplies Distributors and PFSweb operate under distributor agreements with Ricoh Company Limited and Ricoh Production Print Solutions, a strategic business unit within the Ricoh Family Group of Companies, (collectively hereafter referred to as “Ricoh”) under which Supplies Distributors acts as a distributor of various Ricoh products. Substantially all of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from Ricoh.
	Supplies Distributors has obtained financing that allows it to fund the working capital requirements for the sale of primarily Ricoh products. Pursuant to the transaction management services agreements between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb provides to Supplies Distributors transaction management and fulfillment services, such as managed web hosting and maintenance, procurement support, web-enabled customer contact center services, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services, information management, and international distribution services. Supplies Distributors does not have its own sales force and relies upon Ricoh’s sales force and product demand generation activities for its sale of Ricoh products. Supplies Distributors sells its products in the United States, Canada and Europe.
	All of the agreements between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors were made in the context of a related party relationship and were negotiated in the overall context of PFSweb’s and Supplies Distributors’ arrangement with Ricoh. Although management believes the terms of these agreements are generally consistent with fair market values, there can be no assurance that the prices charged to or by each company under these arrangements are not higher or lower than the prices that may be charged by, or to, unaffiliated third parties for similar services. All of these transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
	Basis of Presentation
	The interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion of management and subject to the foregoing, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014, its results of operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Results of the Company’s operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
	Certain prior period data on the income statement has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of product and service fee revenues, each of which was previously classified as a different component of revenue on the income statement. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss, total shareholders’ equity or net cash provided by operating activities.

Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation
	All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
	Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. These uncertainties are discussed in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
	Investment in Affiliates
	Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, Inc., has made advances to Supplies Distributors that are evidenced by a Subordinated Demand Note (the “Subordinated Note”). Under the terms of certain of the Company’s debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased to more than $5.0 million or decreased to less than $2.5 million without prior approval of certain of the Company’s lenders. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $3.5 million. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	PFS has also made advances to Retail Connect, which totaled $11.1 million at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Certain terms of the Company’s debt facilities provide that the total advances to Retail Connect may not be less than $2.0 million without prior approval of Retail Connect’s lender, if needed. PFS has received the approval of its lender to advance incremental amounts to certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including Retail Connect, if needed, subject to certain financial covenants, as defined. PFSweb, Inc. has also advanced to Retail Connect an additional $8.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, PFSweb, Inc. has approximately $12.9 million available to be advanced to Retail Connect and/or other affiliates. All of these advances are eliminated upon consolidation.
	Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
	No service fee client or product revenue customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.
	A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations is as follows:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2014			2013
	Product Revenue (as a percentage of total Product Revenue):
	Customer 1		12	%		16	%
	Customer 2		12	%		13	%
	Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of total Service Fee Revenue):
	Client 1		-	%		17	%
	Accounts Receivable (as a percentage of consolidated Accounts Receivable):
	Client 1		-	%		10	%
	The Company currently anticipates that its product revenue from the customers identified above will decline during the next twelve months and the contractual relationship with Client 1 ended during 2013.
	The Company has provided certain collateralized guarantees of its subsidiaries’ financings and credit arrangements. These subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees.
	The Company has multiple arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and Ricoh and is dependent upon the continuation of such arrangements. These arrangements, which are critical to the Company’s ongoing operations, include Supplies Distributors’ distributor agreements and certain of Supplies Distributors’ working capital financing agreements. Substantially all of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from Ricoh. Supplies Distributors also relies upon Ricoh’s sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such services would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business. In addition, Supplies Distributors has product sales to IBM and Ricoh business affiliates.
	As a result of certain operational restructuring of its business, Ricoh has implemented, and will continue to implement, certain changes in the sale and distribution of Ricoh products. The changes have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors.
	Inventories
	Inventories (all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves based upon estimates of declines in values due to inventories that are slow moving or obsolete, excess levels of inventory or values assessed at lower than cost.
	Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under its Ricoh distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined. In the event PFS, Supplies Distributors and Ricoh terminate the distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ then existing inventory.
	Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain real estate for its warehouse, call center and corporate offices, as well as certain equipment, under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2024. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other similar leases. The Company recognizes escalating lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective lease with the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized being recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Property and Equipment
	The Company’s property held under capital leases totaled approximately $3.8 million and $4.0 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $4.7 million and $4.4 million, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to capital leases during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
	Income Taxes
	The Company records a tax provision primarily associated with state income taxes, its European and Philippines operations and its Supplies Distributors Canadian operations. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its net deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to its net operating loss carryforwards and certain foreign deferred tax assets.
	Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
	The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.2 million in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Income taxes of approximately $19,000 and $9,000 were paid by the Company during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	In May 2013, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 3.2 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $4.57 per share, resulting in net proceeds, after deducting offering expenses, of approximately $14.1 million.
	In May 2013, pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), the Company issued Performance-Based Share Awards (as defined in the Plan) to certain of the Company’s executives. Under the terms of such awards, the determination of the number of performance shares that each such individual received was subject to, and calculated by reference to, the achievement by the Company of a goal measured by a range of targeted financial performance, as defined, for 2013. Based on the 2013 results, the aggregate number of performance shares issued was 0.6 million. The performance shares are subject to four year vesting based upon continued employment and the comparative performance (on an annual and cumulative basis) of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ compared to the Russell Micro Cap Index.
	On March 31, 2014, the Company issued additional Performance Shares Awards to certain of the Company’s executives.  Under the terms of the 2014 awards, the number of performance shares that each such individual may receive is subject to, and calculated by reference to, the achievement by the Company of a performance goal measured by a range of targeted financial performance, as defined, for 2014.  The aggregate maximum number of performance shares that may be issued under the 2014 award program is 0.3 million, which are subject to four year vesting based upon continued employment, and for certain of the performance shares the comparative performance (on an annual and cumulative basis) of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ compared to the Russell Micro Cap Index.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company issued an aggregate of 95,000 options to purchase shares of common stock to directors and employees of the Company, which vest over a three-year period.
	Total stock-based compensation expense was $0.8 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Vendor Financing	'
	5. VENDOR FINANCING
	Supplies Distributors has a short-term credit facility with IBM Credit LLC to finance its distribution of Ricoh products in the United States, providing financing for eligible Ricoh inventory and certain receivables up to $15.0 million. The agreement has no stated maturity date and provides either party the ability to exit the facility following a 90-day notice. Given the structure of this facility and as outstanding balances, which represent inventory purchases, are repaid within twelve months, the Company has classified the outstanding amounts under this facility, which were $8.9 million and $9.8 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, as accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2014, Supplies Distributors had $1.3 million of available credit under this facility. The credit facility contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), provide guarantees, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure and pay dividends. The credit facility also contains financial covenants, such as annualized revenue to working capital, net profit after tax to revenue, and total liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, and is secured by certain of the assets of Supplies Distributors, as well as a collateralized guaranty of PFSweb. Additionally, PFS is required to maintain a minimum Subordinated Note receivable balance from Supplies Distributors of $2.5 million and the Company is required to maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity of $18.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility accrue interest, after a defined free financing period, at prime rate plus 0.5% (3.75% as of March 31, 2014). The facility also includes a monthly service fee.

	Retail Connect has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $2.0 million from Wells Fargo, through May 2014, which is collateralized by substantially all of Retail Connect’s assets. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, up to a specified amount. Outstanding borrowings under the facility bear interest at prime rate plus 1% or Eurodollar rate plus 3.5%. There were no outstanding borrowings and no available credit under this facility as of March 31, 2014. In connection with the line of credit, Retail Connect entered into a cash management arrangement whereby Retail Connect’s operating accounts are considered restricted and swept and used to repay outstanding amounts under the line of credit, if any. The credit facility restricts Retail Connect’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, and requires a minimum tangible net worth for Retail Connect of $0 million, as defined. PFSweb has guaranteed all current and future obligations of Retail Connect under this line of credit. Based on current borrowing needs, the Company does not anticipate renewing this credit facility when it expires.
	Debt Covenants
	To the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with its covenants applicable to its debt or vendor financing obligations, including the monthly financial covenant requirements, such as profitability and cash flow, and required level of shareholders’ equity or net worth (as defined), the Company would be required to obtain a waiver from the lender or the lender would be entitled to accelerate the repayment of any outstanding credit facility obligations, and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and enforcement of payment under the Company parent guarantee. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
	Master Lease Agreements
	The Company has various agreements that provide for leasing or financing transactions of equipment and other assets and will continue to enter into such arrangements as needed to finance the purchasing or leasing of certain equipment or other assets. Borrowings under these agreements, which generally have terms of three to five years, are generally secured by the related equipment, and in certain cases, by a Company parent guarantee.

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	The Company received municipal tax abatements in certain locations. In prior years, the Company received notice from a municipality that it did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements and that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to the Company’s tax abatement. The Company disputed the adjustment and such dispute has been settled with the municipality. However, the amount of additional property taxes to be assessed against the Company and the timing of the related payments has not been finalized. As of March 31, 2014, the Company believes it has adequately accrued for the expected assessment.
	In April 2010, a sales employee of eCOST (the former name of Retail Connect) was charged with violating various federal criminal statutes in connection with the sales of eCOST products to certain customers, and approximately $620,000 held in an eCOST deposit account was seized and turned over to the Office of the U.S. Attorney in connection with such activity. In August 2012, the employee pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Neither the Company nor eCOST have been charged with any criminal activity, and the Company is seeking the recovery of the funds that are currently classified as other receivables on the March 31, 2014 financial statements. Based on the information available to date, the Company is unable to determine the amount of the loss, if any, relating to the seizure of such funds. No assurance can be given, however, that the seizure of such funds, or the inability of the Company to recover such funds or any significant portion thereof, or any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
	The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. In addition, PFS is generally required to indemnify its service fee clients against any third party claims asserted against such clients alleging infringement by PFS of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.

Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
	Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. These uncertainties are discussed in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Investment in Affiliates	'
	Investment in Affiliates
	Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, Inc., has made advances to Supplies Distributors that are evidenced by a Subordinated Demand Note (the “Subordinated Note”). Under the terms of certain of the Company’s debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased to more than $5.0 million or decreased to less than $2.5 million without prior approval of certain of the Company’s lenders. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $3.5 million. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	PFS has also made advances to Retail Connect, which totaled $11.1 million at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Certain terms of the Company’s debt facilities provide that the total advances to Retail Connect may not be less than $2.0 million without prior approval of Retail Connect’s lender, if needed. PFS has received the approval of its lender to advance incremental amounts to certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including Retail Connect, if needed, subject to certain financial covenants, as defined. PFSweb, Inc. has also advanced to Retail Connect an additional $8.5 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, PFSweb, Inc. has approximately $12.9 million available to be advanced to Retail Connect and/or other affiliates. All of these advances are eliminated upon consolidation.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
	No service fee client or product revenue customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.
	A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations is as follows:
		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2014			2013
	Product Revenue (as a percentage of total Product Revenue):
	Customer 1		12	%		16	%
	Customer 2		12	%		13	%
	Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of total Service Fee Revenue):
	Client 1		-	%		17	%
	Accounts Receivable (as a percentage of consolidated Accounts Receivable):
	Client 1		-	%		10	%
	The Company currently anticipates that its product revenue from the customers identified above will decline during the next twelve months and the contractual relationship with Client 1 ended during 2013.
	The Company has provided certain collateralized guarantees of its subsidiaries’ financings and credit arrangements. These subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees.
	The Company has multiple arrangements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and Ricoh and is dependent upon the continuation of such arrangements. These arrangements, which are critical to the Company’s ongoing operations, include Supplies Distributors’ distributor agreements and certain of Supplies Distributors’ working capital financing agreements. Substantially all of Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from Ricoh. Supplies Distributors also relies upon Ricoh’s sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such services would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business. In addition, Supplies Distributors has product sales to IBM and Ricoh business affiliates.
	As a result of certain operational restructuring of its business, Ricoh has implemented, and will continue to implement, certain changes in the sale and distribution of Ricoh products. The changes have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in reduced revenues and profitability for Supplies Distributors.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories (all of which are finished goods) are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves based upon estimates of declines in values due to inventories that are slow moving or obsolete, excess levels of inventory or values assessed at lower than cost.
	Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under its Ricoh distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined. In the event PFS, Supplies Distributors and Ricoh terminate the distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ then existing inventory.
Operating Leases	'
	Operating Leases
	The Company leases certain real estate for its warehouse, call center and corporate offices, as well as certain equipment, under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2024. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other similar leases. The Company recognizes escalating lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective lease with the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized being recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	The Company’s property held under capital leases totaled approximately $3.8 million and $4.0 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $4.7 million and $4.4 million, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to capital leases during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company records a tax provision primarily associated with state income taxes, its European and Philippines operations and its Supplies Distributors Canadian operations. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its net deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to its net operating loss carryforwards and certain foreign deferred tax assets.
Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes	'
	Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
	The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.2 million in each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Income taxes of approximately $19,000 and $9,000 were paid by the Company during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
