                              NEOWARE SYSTEMS, INC.

                              ---------------------

                                 PROXY STATEMENT

                              ---------------------

         This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies at the direction of the Board of Directors of Neoware Systems, Inc.
(the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
December 1, 2005.

         Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 25, 2005
will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on
October 25, 2005, 16,303,546 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common
stock were outstanding. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of a
majority of the outstanding shares is necessary to constitute a quorum for the
meeting. A stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock
held by such stockholder. For purposes of the quorum and the discussion below
regarding the vote necessary to take stockholder action, stockholders of record
who are present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and who abstain,
including brokers holding customers' shares of record who cause abstentions to
be recorded at the meeting, are considered stockholders who are present and
entitled to vote and they count toward the quorum, but they are not counted as
shares voted and therefore have the effect of a vote against Proposals 2 and 3.
This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being mailed to the
Company's stockholders on or about October 31, 2005.

         Most stockholders have three options for submitting their vote: (1) via
the Internet at www.proxyvote.com; (2) by phone (please see your proxy card for
instructions); and (3) by mail, using the paper proxy card enclosed with this
Proxy Statement. When you vote via the Internet or by phone, your vote is
recorded immediately. The Company encourages stockholders to vote using these
methods whenever possible. If you vote via the Internet, you can also register
to receive all future stockholder communications electronically, instead of in
print. This means that the annual report, proxy statement and other
correspondence will be delivered to you electronically via e-mail.

         Shares represented by a valid proxy in the accompanying form returned
to the Company in sufficient time to permit the necessary examination and
tabulation before a vote is taken, or voted via the Internet or by phone, unless
previously revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. A proxy may be revoked
at any time prior to its exercise (1) by giving written notice to the Secretary
of the Company, (2) by submitting a later dated vote via the Internet, by
telephone or by mail, or (3) by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Mere
attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke the proxy. Any specific
instructions indicated on your proxy will be followed. Unless contrary
instructions are given, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals
described in this Proxy Statement and, in the discretion of the proxy holders,
on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

         Brokers holding shares for beneficial owners must vote their shares
according to the specific instructions they receive from the owners. If specific


instructions are not received, brokers may vote these shares on routine matters
in their discretion, except as set forth below, but not on non-routine matters,
pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. On non-routine matters,
the broker may not vote on the proposal absent specific voting instructions.
This results in what is known as a "broker non-vote." Broker non-votes will be
counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but
will not be counted for determining the number of votes cast for or against a
proposal. Accordingly, a broker non-vote has the effect of a negative vote when
a majority of the shares issued and outstanding is required for approval of the
proposal, and has the effect of reducing the number of required affirmative
votes (and therefore will not affect the outcome of the voting) when a majority
of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is
required for approval of the proposal. The election of each nominee for director
(Proposal 1) requires a plurality of votes cast. Brokers have discretionary
authority to vote on this proposal. The amendment of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to change the Company's corporate name (Proposal 2) requires
the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote at the meeting. The ratification of the selection of the independent public
accountants (Proposal 3) requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to
vote at the meeting. Brokers are not precluded from voting uninstructed shares
on Proposals 2 and 3, and, therefore, there will be no broker non-votes on those
proposals. The New York Stock Exchange determines whether brokers have
discretionary authority to vote on a given proposal.

         The cost of proxy solicitation, including the cost of reimbursing banks
and brokers for forwarding proxies and proxy statements to beneficial owners of
the Common Stock, will be paid by the Company. Proxies will be solicited without
extra compensation by certain officers and regular employees of the Company by
mail and, if found to be necessary, by telephone and personal interviews. All
shares represented by valid proxies will be voted.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

         Certain stockholders who share the same address may receive only one
copy of this Proxy Statement and the Company's Annual Report in accordance with
a notice delivered earlier this year by the stockholders' bank, broker or other
holder of record, unless the bank, broker or other holder of record received
contrary instructions. This practice, known as "householding," is designed to
reduce printing and postage costs. If you own your shares through a bank, broker
or other holder of record and wish either to stop or begin householding, you may
request or stop householding, or you may request a separate copy of the Proxy
Statement or the Annual Report, either by contacting your bank, broker or other
holder of record or by contacting us by telephone at (610) 277-8300, Extension
1072, or in writing to Investor Relations at Neoware Systems, Inc., 3200 Horizon
Drive (or if before November 7, 2005, 400 Feheley Drive), King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania 19046, Attention: Secretary.

selected by the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Governance
and Nominating Committee, to be elected at the Annual Meeting will serve for
one-year terms expiring at the next Annual Meeting and until their respective
successors are elected and qualified. All of the nominees are currently serving
as directors except for Dennis Flanagan and Klaus P. Besier, who have been
nominated to fill two newly-created seats on the Board of Directors.

nominated to stand for election at the Annual Meeting appear below. All nominees
have indicated that they are willing and able to serve as directors if elected.

upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE
ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

CODE OF ETHICS

         The Board sponsors the Company's Code of Ethics, which ensures that the
Company's business is conducted in a consistently legal and ethical manner. The
Company's Chief Financial Officer oversees compliance with the Code of Ethics.
The Company's Code of Ethics is available on the Company's website at
www.neoware.com/company.html. All of the Company's employees, officers and
directors are required to comply with the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics
covers all areas of professional conduct, including compliance with laws,
conflicts of interest, confidentiality, corporate opportunities, use of Company
assets and reporting illegal or unethical behavior. The Code of Ethics describes
the Company's procedures to receive, retain and address complaints regarding
accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, and other illegal
or unethical behavior.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Directors (other than those who are employees of the Company) receive a
one-time automatic grant of options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") upon a director's
initial election. Thereafter, under the Plan, non-employee directors receive an
automatic annual grant of options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock.
Non-employee directors are also eligible to receive stock option grants at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, all non-employee members of
the Board received an annual fee of $6,000 for services as a member of the Board
during the 2005 fiscal year, $1,500 for each regular or special Board meeting
attended in person, $750 for each such meeting attended by telephone and $500
for each committee meeting attended. The chairman of the Audit Committee
received an annual fee of $2,500, and the chairmen of the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee each received an
annual fee of $1,000, for their services during the 2005 fiscal year as chairmen
in addition to the applicable meeting fees.

         In October 2005, to reflect the increase in the workload and
responsibilities of directors as a result of recent legislation and to offer
competitive compensation in order to attract qualified directors, the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee approved the following changes effective
as of January 1, 2006 with respect to the cash compensation of non-employee
directors: all non-employee members of the Board will receive an annual fee of
$7,500 for services as a member of the Board, the chairman of the Audit
Committee will receive an annual fee of $5,000, and the chairmen of the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee and the Governance and Nominating
Committee each will receive an annual fee of $1,500, for his services during the
2005 fiscal year as chairman in addition to the applicable meeting fees.

DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS

         The Governance and Nominating Committee reviews possible candidates for
the Board of Directors and recommends the nominees for directors to the Board of
Directors for approval. The Board of Directors has adopted criteria for the
selection of nominees to the Board of Directors, which are a part of the
Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, which can also be found on the
Company's website at www.neoware.com/company.html. These criteria describe
specific traits, abilities and experience that the Governance and Nominating
Committee and the Board look for in determining candidates for election to the
Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers suggestions from many


                                       8


sources, including stockholders, regarding possible candidates for directors.
Such suggestions, together with a complete description of the nominee's
qualifications, experience and background, and a statement signed by the nominee
in which he or she consents to such nomination and which includes the name of
the stockholder making the suggestion and evidence of that person's ownership of
the Company's stock, including the number of shares held and the length of time
of ownership, should be submitted to the Secretary of the Company at 3200
Horizon Drive, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406 not less than 120 days prior
to the anniversary date of the most recent annual meeting of stockholders, or if
the meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous
year's meeting, not less than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Possible
candidates who are suggested by stockholders are evaluated by the Governance and
Nominating Committee in the same manner as are other possible candidates.

         In addition to making suggestions to the Governance and Nominating
Committee for the selection of nominees as described above, under the bylaws,
stockholders are also entitled to nominate persons for election as directors
only if, among other things, written notice has been given, in the case of an
annual meeting, no later than the date that is 45 days before the date on which
the Company first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting
of stockholders, or, if such annual meeting was not held or was changed by more
than 30 days from the date of the previous year's annual meeting, a reasonable
time before the Company mails its proxy materials for the current year. The
notice must set forth information about the proposed nominee and the consent of
the nominee, among other things.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2
                    AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
                        TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY


         The Board of Directors is proposing to amend the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, in order to change the Company's corporate name
from "Neoware Systems, Inc." to "Neoware, Inc." The Board believes that the
change in corporate name to "Neoware, Inc." will better reflect the present
scope of the business and operations of the Company and its evolution from a
hardware oriented provider of thin client systems to a supplier of enterprise
software, thin client appliances and related services, while allowing the
Company to maintain its name recognition among customers and the general public.

         The affirmative vote of a majority of outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock entitled to vote is required to approve the proposed
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. If approved by the
stockholders, the amendment to change the corporate name to "Neoware, Inc." will
be effected by the filing of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware at the earliest
appropriate time consistent with an orderly transition to the new name. The
change of corporate name will be accomplished by amending Article First of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to read as follows:

         "First: The name of the Corporation is Neoware, Inc."

         If the proposed name change is approved and effected, it will not be
necessary for stockholders of the Company to exchange outstanding stock
certificates. The Company's common stock is traded on The NASDAQ National Market
and if the proposal is approved and effected, the symbol under which the
Company's common stock is traded will remain "NWRE."

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE
AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE CORPORATE
NAME OF THE COMPANY.

AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

         Employment Agreements

         In connection with the appointment of Mr. Kantrowitz to the position of
President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company entered into an agreement
with Mr. Kantrowitz, effective on February 14, 2000, which provided for an
initial annual salary of $210,000 and an annual bonus of up to 50% of his base
salary or greater at the option of, and as determined by, the Board of
Directors. The Company also granted to Mr. Kantrowitz options to acquire 130,000
shares of Common Stock at the fair market value on the date of grant. Mr.
Kantrowitz is also provided with an automobile, at the Company's expense. Mr.
Kantrowitz is entitled to severance benefits equal to his salary and health
benefits, his annual bonus (pro rated for the portion of the year prior to his
termination) if agreed-upon goals have been met at the time of termination and


                                       13


use of his Company-provided automobile for one year in the event of his
involuntary termination for reasons other than cause or upon a substantial
reduction in his responsibilities or any change in his position as Chief
Executive Officer. The Company has also agreed that in the event of a sale of
the Company, if Mr. Kantrowitz is not offered employment by the new owners in a
similar capacity heading a business unit reporting directly to the Chief
Executive Officer or the Board of Directors or if he does not accept any other
position that he is offered immediately following such transaction, he is
entitled to payment equal to his base salary and health benefits, his annual
bonus (pro rated for the portion of the year prior to his termination) if agreed
upon goals have been met at the time of termination and use of his
Company-provided automobile for one year, and to the acceleration of vesting of
100% of his options. The agreement also contains a non-competition and
non-solicitation agreement by Mr. Kantrowitz for the period during which
payments are made by the Company and for a period of six months thereafter.

         In October 2005, the Company entered into a new employment agreement
with Mr. Kantrowitz, which provides for an initial annual salary of $351,520 and
an annual bonus of up to 75% of his base salary or greater at the option of, and
as determined by, the Board of Directors. Mr. Kantrowitz will continue to be
provided with an automobile, at the Company's expense. Under the agreement, Mr.
Kantrowitz is entitled to severance benefits equal to his salary and health
benefits and use of his Company-provided automobile for a period of 18 months,
and one and one-half times his average annual bonus earned over the prior three
fiscal years in the event of his involuntary termination for reasons other than
cause or upon any change in his position as Chief Executive Officer. The Company
has also agreed that in the event of a change of control in the Company, if Mr.
Kantrowitz is not offered employment by the Company or the acquirer in a similar
capacity heading a business unit reporting directly to the Chief Executive
Officer or the Board of Directors or if he does not accept any other position
that he is offered immediately following such transaction, he is entitled to
payment equal to his base salary and health benefits, continuation of his health
benefits (or cash in lieu thereof) and use of his Company-provided automobile
for 18 months, and to one and one-half times his average annual bonus earned
over the prior three fiscal years and the acceleration of vesting of 100% of his
options. The agreement also contains a non-competition and non-solicitation
agreement by Mr. Kantrowitz for the period during which payments are made by the
Company or, if Mr. Kantrowitz is not entitled under the agreement to the
payments described above for such 18-month period, for a period on six months
after termination of his employment with the Company.

         Change of Control and Separation Arrangements

         Under their offers of employment with the Company, Mr. Rubino, Mr.
Wrabley, Mr. Schneck and Mr. Bolton are entitled to a continuation of salary and
benefits for a period of one year and the payment of the average amount of their
respective annual bonuses over the prior three-year period if they are not
offered continued employment in the event of a change in control of the Company.

         Options granted under the Company's the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan,
1995 Stock Option Plan and 2002 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan contain
provisions pursuant to which outstanding options granted under such plans may
become fully vested and immediately exercisable upon a "change in control" as
defined in such plans, subject to the discretion of the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee.

                     COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
                        REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") of the
Board of Directors, among other responsibilities, establishes the general
compensation policies of the Company, determines specific compensation levels
regarding salaries and incentive compensation of executive officers and approves
the award of stock options and other equity compensation under the Company's
2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The Committee currently consists of two non-employee
and independent directors.

         The Company's compensation program includes annual salary and incentive
compensation, consisting of bonuses and possible long-term incentives, in the
form of stock options and other equity compensation, designed to attract,
motivate and retain highly qualified executives who will effectively manage the
Company and maximize stockholder value. In establishing total compensation each
year, the Committee considers both individual and Company performance. The
Committee also informally reviews compensation levels of companies that are
known to the Committee members and published compensation data of other
technology companies, although the Committee does not make formal comparisons
with peer group companies. In making its determinations as to all executive


                                       14


officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee also considers
the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.

ANNUAL COMPENSATION

         Annual salary levels are established based upon job responsibility and
an evaluation of individual and Company performance. The Committee's policy is
to review the Company's performance, including the Company's revenues and
profitability, compared to goals, and the achievement of other operational
goals, such as the introduction of new products, gains in market share, and
strategic objectives such as entering geographic markets or acquisition of
businesses or technologies. In addition, the Committee considers an individual's
contribution to the Company's performance. An individual's performance is
evaluated based upon the achievement of his or her specific goals and the
Committee's subjective judgment of his or her contributions to the achievement
by the Company of its goals. As discussed above, the Committee also informally
reviews compensation levels of other technology companies, including principal
competitors of the Company, if available. The Committee does not assign relative
weights to these factors and does not use specific criteria to evaluate
individual performance, but instead makes a determination based upon all of the
factors and the progress that the Company has made with respect to its goals and
strategies.

         During the 2005 fiscal year, the executive officers of the Company were
eligible for incentive compensation under the Company's 2005 Executive Bonus
Plan, consisting of bonuses, based principally on the Company achieving revenue
and income targets. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Committee set
threshold levels of revenues and income based on annual performance objectives
and the prior year's performance, which were required to be attained for bonuses
to be awarded. Under the 2005 Executive Bonus Plan, each executive officer's
eligible bonus percentage to be awarded if the Company meets its revenue and
income goals for the fiscal year, which was initially set at 50% of each
executive officer's base salary, was determined by the Committee after
considering both the Company's financial performance and the executive officer's
individual performance. The eligible bonus percentage may be adjusted upward or
downward by the Committee if the Company's revenue and net income results for
the fiscal year are higher or lower, as the case may be, than the previously
established targets or based on the individual's performance. During the 2005
fiscal year, the Company attained its revenue and income targets and other
operating goals. As a result, the Committee approved cash bonuses under the 2005
Executive Bonus Plan for each of the executive officers, as follows: Roy
Zatcoff, who joined the Company as Executive Vice President in March 2005, Mr.
Bolton and Mr. Wrabley were awarded their full eligible bonus percentages (in
the case of Mr. Zatcoff, pro rated based upon the number of days during the
fiscal year in which he was eligible to receive awards under the 2005 Executive
Bonus Plan); and Mr. Kantrowitz, Mr. Rubino, and Mr. Schneck were awarded
bonuses equal to 150% of their full eligible bonus percentages. The Committee
increased the bonus percentages for Messrs. Kantrowitz, Rubino and Schneck in
the exercise of its sole discretion based upon the executives' individual
performance relating to the completion and integration of four acquisitions
during the fiscal year.



                                       15


LONG-TERM COMPENSATION

         During the 2005 fiscal year, long-term incentives were provided through
the grant of stock options under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, 2002
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and 1995 Stock Option Plan. The Committee
reviewed and approved the participation of executive officers of the Company
under the Company's plans. The Committee has the authority to determine the
individuals to whom stock options or other equity-based compensation are
awarded, the terms of the awards and the number of shares subject to each award.
Options typically vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year from
the date of grant and are exercisable at an exercise price equal to or greater
than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant
(which is generally the date of a regularly scheduled Committee meeting or the
date of commencement of employment). Stock options typically have been granted
to executive officers when the executive first joins the Company and
periodically thereafter in connection with changes in the executive's level of
responsibilities, in connection with the executive's past and anticipated future
contributions to the Company and for other reasons at the Committee's
discretion. The size of option grants are generally based upon the executive
officer's level of responsibility, long-term growth in responsibility, and
contribution to the achievement of the Company's goals, considering both the
number of options held by the individual and the individual's position at the
time of the new grant. Through the grant of stock options, the objective of
aligning executive officers' long-range interests with those of the stockholders
is met by providing the executive officers with the opportunity to build a
meaningful ownership interest in the Company. The Committee evaluates the
individual's and the Company's performance and performance and stock data of
similar technology companies, although it has not relied on formal comparisons,
and exercises subjective judgment and discretion in view of this information and
the Company's general compensation policies and practices.

         On May 13, 2005, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee, approved the acceleration of the
vesting of "underwater" unvested stock options held by certain employees of the
Company, including executive officers. A stock option was considered
"underwater" at the time if the option exercise price of the stock option was
greater than $14.00 per share. The closing price per share of the Common Stock
ranged from approximately $8.26 to $12.23 during the six-month period prior to
May 13, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 532,376 shares became
exercisable on May 13, 2005, representing approximately 23% of the total options
outstanding, as a result of the vesting acceleration. Of those 532,376 options,
approximately 70% were scheduled to vest over the next 18 months.

         The decision to accelerate vesting of these underwater stock options
was made by the Board primarily to preclude recognizing compensation cost in the
Consolidated Statement of Income in the future upon the Company's adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which was adopted by the Company as of July 1, 2005.
SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the Company's financial statements
based on their fair values over the applicable vesting periods. Additionally,
the Company believed that underwater stock options did not offer affected
employees sufficient incentive when compared to the potential future
compensation expense that would have been attributable to these stock options.
The Board of Directors has reviewed the newly adopted requirements to expense
stock options and has determined that it will continue to grant stock options as
a form of long term compensation for employees because the Board believes stock
options provide the most effective incentive to employees to remain with the
Company and contribute to the continued improvement and growth of its
operations.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

         Mr. Kantrowitz has been President and Chief Executive Officer since
February 14, 2000. In connection with his appointment, he entered into an
agreement with the Company which provided for an initial annual salary of
$210,000 and an annual bonus of up to 50% of his base salary or greater at the
option of, and as determined by, the Board of Directors. In October 2005, the
Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Kantrowitz, which
provides for an initial annual salary of $351,520 and an annual bonus of up to
75% of his base salary or greater at the option of, and as determined by, the
Board of Directors.

         For the 2005 fiscal year, Mr. Kantrowitz's base salary was increased to
$338,000. The Committee determined the amount of his base salary increase after
considering the Company's revenue growth and profitability relative to 2005
fiscal year goals, gains in market share and unit volume growth with respect to
sales of the Company's products and services, the Company's success in acquiring
technologies and businesses and integrating these into existing operations, the
Company's success in expanding international sales, marketing and development
capabilities and the Company's performance relative to an increase in spending
on information technology. The Company also considered Mr. Kantrowitz's
contributions to the growth and performance of the Company in the areas
described above, his ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified
management level personnel and to develop a strategic vision for the future
operations and direction of the Company, and the compensation level of chief
executive officers at businesses of similar size, including comparable
technology companies. At the end of the 2005 fiscal year, Mr. Kantrowitz was
awarded a bonus of $253,500, equal to 75% of his base salary, based on the
Company's 2005 fiscal year revenue and income goals and Mr. Kantrowitz's
individual performance and contributions with respect to such goals in
accordance with the Company's 2005 Executive Bonus Plan. In addition, at the
beginning of the 2005 fiscal year, Mr. Kantrowitz was granted options to acquire
100,000 shares of common stock at the fair market value of the shares on the
date of grant under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, based on the
Company's performance in its 2004 fiscal year.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         Federal tax laws impose requirements in order for compensation payable
to certain executive officers to be fully deductible. The Company intends, to
the extent practicable, to preserve deductibility under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), of compensation paid to its executive
officers while maintaining compensation programs to attract and retain highly
qualified executives in a competitive environment.

         The foregoing report has been furnished by the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee of the Board of Directors. The membership of the Committee is
as follows:

John P. Kirwin, III, Chairman
John M. Ryan

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         During the 2005 fiscal year, the Company provided goods and services to
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, a public company of which Mr. McCann, a director of the
Company, is President and a director and shareholder. The Company entered into
this arrangement in the ordinary course of business and provided such goods and
services to 1-800-FLOWERS.COM on a non-exclusive basis at arms-length negotiated
rates. In addition, Mr. McCann was not directly involved with the negotiation or
consummation of such arrangement. While any revenue, profits or other aspects of
a business relationship with the Company may, of course, affect Mr. McCann's
overall compensation or value of his investment in 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, the
Company does not believe that Mr. McCann receives or has received any
compensation from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM that is directly linked to the
Company-related business arrangement. The business relationship between the
companies is not material to the Company or 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, and the Company
does not believe that any indirect interest that Mr. McCann may have with
respect to such arrangement is material.

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

         The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with the Company's
management and its independent registered public accounting firm the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's 2005 fiscal year. The Audit
Committee has also discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public
accounting firm its judgment as to the quality of the Company's application of,
and the matters required to be discussed pursuant to, SAS No. 61, "Communication
with Audit Committees," which matters include, among other items, the conduct of
the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

         The Committee discussed with both the Company's management and
independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for
their respective audits. The Audit Committee periodically met with management
and the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without
management present, to discuss the results of their audits, evaluations of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of
the Company's financial reporting.

         The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures
and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required
by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees," as amended, and has discussed with the independent registered
public accounting firm its independence from the Company and its management.

         Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated
financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
its 2005 fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Audit Committee also appointed, and the Board of Directors is proposing in this
Proxy Statement that the stockholders of the Company ratify the appointment of,
KPMG LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the
2006 fiscal year.

                              REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten
percent of the Company's Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission reports about their beneficial ownership of the Company's Common
Stock. All such persons are required by the Commission to furnish the Company
with copies of all reports that they file.

         Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to
the Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no
other reports were required, the Company believes that during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2005, all of its officers, directors and persons who own more
than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock complied with all filing
requirements applicable to them.

                           RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT
                        REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

         The Audit Committee has selected the firm of KPMG LLP as the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2006. The Board of Directors has proposed that the stockholders ratify the
selection of KPMG LLP. The Company has requested that a representative of KPMG
LLP attend the Annual Meeting. Such representative will have an opportunity to
make a statement, if he or she desires, and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions of stockholders.

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT FEES

         The following table shows the fees billed to the Company by its
independent registered public accounting firm for services provided to the
Company during the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years:


                                                            2005         2004
                                                        ------------   --------

         Audit Fees .............................       $545,730       $249,220
         Audit-Related Fees .....................       $    --        $    --
         Tax Fees................................       $ 37,000       $155,300
         All Other Fees .........................       $ 43,243       $259,545

o    Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for
     the audit of the Company's annual financial statements, reviews of the
     financial statements included in the Company's quarterly report on Forms
     10-Q and work associated with issuing the independent registered accounting
     firm's audit report on the Company's internal controls over financial
     reporting.

o    Audit-Related Fees consist of services that are reasonably related to the
     performance of the audit of the Company's financial statements and are not
     reported under "Audit Fees." In the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years there were
     no Audit-Related Fees paid to the Company's independent registered public
     accounting firm.



                                       23


o    Tax Fees consist of professional services rendered by the independent
     registered public accounting firm for tax compliance and tax advice. The
     services for the fees disclosed under this category include tax return
     preparation and tax advice.

o    All Other Fees in the 2005 and 2004 fiscal years paid to the independent
     registered public accounting firm primarily consist of pre-acquisition
     financial due diligence investigations.

         The Audit Committee considered whether the services provided above are
compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered
public accounting firm.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES AND FEES

         The Audit Committee's procedure is to review all proposed audit and
non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public
accounting firm and, before engaging the independent registered public
accounting firm, pre-approve the performance of such services and related fees.
Any fee amounts pre-approved for the audit and audit-related services are
updated to the extent necessary at the regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit
Committee during the year. The independent registered public accounting firm and
management must report to the Audit Committee actual fees versus those
pre-approved periodically throughout the fiscal year.

         The Audit Committee has considered the above non-audit services and has
determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining
the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. All
services rendered by KPMG LLP were permissible under applicable laws and
regulations, and were pre-approved by the Audit Committee for the 2005 fiscal
year.

         In the 2005 fiscal year, there were no fees paid to KPMG LLP under a de
minimis exception to the rules that waives pre-approval for certain non-audit
services.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE
RATIFICATION OF KPMG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM.
