On August 22, 2001, the Company issued a press release, which is attached
herewith as Exhibit 99.1, announcing today that PC Connection has determined, in

response to an inquiry from Cyberian Outpost, Inc., that if Cyberian Outpost is
unable to fulfill the net worth condition in the Merger Agreement between the
two parties, PC Connection will not waive that condition. Cyberian Outpost has
informed PC Connection that it may not be able to fulfill this net worth
condition. The failure of Cyberian Outpost to meet this condition would mean
that the merger between the two parties would not be consummated. In light of
these developments, Cyberian Outpost has initiated conversations with other
interested parties with respect to a possible acquisition.
