NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PHOTOWORKS, INC: ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a full-service
photography services company dedicated to providing its customers with
innovative and inspiring ways to create, share and preserve their photographic
memories, primarily through online and mail-order channels. The PhotoWorks(R)
service provides image printing and online image storage and management services
for both digital and film based camera users, primarily in the United States,
which allows customers to store and organize photos online, share them with
friends and family, and order prints, photo albums, and photo related products.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of interim results have been included. The Company
follows a policy of recording its interim periods and year-end on a 13-week
basis for comparability of results and to be consistent with its internal weekly
reporting. Operating results for the six-months ended March 27, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 25, 2004. For further information, refer to the "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under
Item 2 below and under Item 7 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 27, 2003 and the Company's consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto also included in the Company's Annual
Report.
NOTE B - LIQUIDITY
The Company has experienced significant revenue declines and has incurred
operating losses in recent years. Cash flow used in operations during the first
six months of fiscal 2004 was $2,157,000, primarily due to lower revenues that
were partially offset by lower operating costs. Cash flows from operations were
positive in fiscal 2003 and 2002 primarily due to income tax refunds aggregating
$5,780,000 related to net operating tax loss carrybacks. Management has taken
various actions, including workforce reductions, store closures, and reduced
operating expenditures to more closely align its cost structure with its reduced
revenue levels and to improve its operating margins and cash flows.
Management believes that under current operational plans, its current cash
balances and projected future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to
fund operations through at least the next twelve months. Further, management has
both the ability and intent to undertake additional actions to reduce expenses
to ensure cash balances are sufficient to meet its obligations as they become
due. However, the Company's inability to successfully generate sufficient cash
flow from operations would have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial position and liquidity and may require the Company to seek additional
sources of funding to enable it to continue operations for at least the next
twelve months.
NOTE C - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out
method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of film and photofinishing
supplies. An inventory reserve is established based on the valuation of the
Company's inventory, and those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of
forecasted usage or their estimated net realizable value.
NOTE D - RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE E - VENDOR SETTLEMENT
During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company reached a settlement
agreement regarding disputed fees for services provided to the Company,
resulting in a $738,000 reduction to administrative expenses. The settlement was
recorded as a $398,000 reduction to accounts payable for previously invoiced
amounts and $340,000 as receivables, which represents the proceeds to be
received under the settlement agreement, net of a discount for interest using a
6% discount rate. The receivable is due in annual installments of $95,000 over
the next four years.
NOTE F - PROPERTY AND LEASES
In April 2004, the Company negotiated a termination agreement for one of
its two leases for operating facilities, effective April 30, 2004. The lease
formerly expired in September 2005 and cost approximately $473,000 per year. As
a result, management revised the estimated life of the related leasehold
improvements, resulting in additional depreciation charges to cost of goods sold
of approximately $240,000 for the quarter ended March 27, 2004. The Company
anticipates expenses of approximately $150,000 in the quarter ending June 26,
2004 for additional depreciation and costs related to the lease termination.
NOTE G - DEFERRED REVENUES
At the end of fiscal 2003, the Company's deferred revenue was primarily
attributable to its Frequent Customer Program. Under this program, after
processing a certain number of rolls of film within a stated period of time, a
customer received free processing on their next roll of film. For each roll of
film for which the processing is paid under this program, the Company deferred a
portion of the revenue received and recognized the revenue upon processing of
the free roll, so that revenue from customers in this program was recognized
ratably over all rolls of film processed. The Frequent Customer Program expired
in January 2004.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company launched its Pick
Your Prints service for film processing orders. Under this service, a customer's
images are digitized and only the negatives are initially mailed back. As part
of the initial transaction, a customer is issued one print credit per image
developed, which they can then use to purchase only the photos they want to have
printed. Prints are then produced utilizing the digital images. A portion of the
initial purchase is deferred equal to the relative fair value of the digital
prints. Revenue is recognized upon utilization of the print credits to order
digital prints. As of March 27, 2004, approximately $200,000 was deferred under
this program.
In November 2004, the Company began offering a prepaid print credit
product, whereby customers can buy online print credits to use on future digital
print orders. Amounts received for the purchase of these credits are deferred
and revenue is recognized upon fulfillment of digital print orders. As of March
27, 2004, approximately $120,000 was deferred under this program.
NOTE H - INCOME TAXES
During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, a tax benefit of $100,000 was
recorded for refundable tax credit carrybacks for fiscal 2001 and 2002. The
Company has net deferred tax assets totaling $12,112,000, comprised primarily of
net operating loss carryforwards. Due to the recent history of operating losses,
the uncertainty of future taxable income, and limitations on the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards under IRC Section 382, a valuation allowance of
$12,112,000 has been recorded against net deferred tax assets.

NOTE I - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition Disclosures," and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans.
Accordingly, the Company's stock-based compensation expense is recognized based
on the intrinsic value of the option on the date of grant.
Pursuant to Stock Option Plans adopted in 1982 and 1987, options may be
granted to purchase up to 6,904,688 shares of Common Stock at prices equal to
the fair market value of the shares at the time the options are granted.
In October 1999, the Board of Directors adopted the PhotoWorks, Inc. 1999
Employee Stock Option Plan. Employees, consultants, independent contractors,
advisors and agents are eligible to participate in this plan. Officers and
directors are not eligible to participate. Pursuant to this plan, options may be
granted to purchase up to 800,000 shares of Common Stock at prices equal to the
fair market value of the shares at the time the options are granted.
In February 2000, shareholders approved the 1999 Stock Incentive
Compensation Plan. Officers, directors, employees, consultants, independent
contractors, advisors and agents are eligible to participate in this plan.
Pursuant to this plan, options may be granted to purchase up to 2,300,000 shares
of Common Stock.
Under this plan, pursuant to an employment agreement with Mr. Philippe
Sanchez, the Company's President and CEO, the Company granted a stock option on
October 28, 2003, for 250,000 shares with an exercise price of $.01. Based on
the fair market value of $.70 on the date of grant, the Company will recognize
stock compensation expense of $172,500 ratably over the twelve-month vesting
period of the option grant.
Shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under these stock option
plans totaled 4,139,585 at March 27, 2004, of which 1,248,573 shares were
available for options to be granted in the future. Options generally vest over
three to four years and become exercisable commencing one year after the date of
grant and expiring five to seven years after the date of grant.
In addition, as an incentive to employment, Mr. Sanchez was granted a
stock option for 750,000 shares at a price equal to fair market value on the
date of grant. These shares were granted outside of the above plans.
Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under
the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the options was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions on the option grant date:
March 27, 2004 March 29,2003
================================================================================
Risk free interest rate 1.93% 2.78%
Expected volatility 183.09% 146.43%

NOTE J - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the
period. Convertible preferred shares, outstanding warrants and stock options to
purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computations of loss per
share because their effect was antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss
per share:

shares, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of loss per share
as their effect was antidilutive. If the Company had reported net income, the
calculation of these per share amounts would have included the dilutive effect
of these common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method.

NOTE K - ITC PENALTY
In September 2003, the Company negotiated a settlement agreement with the
International Trade Commission, whereby the Company pays $250,000 in July for
each of the next four years beginning in 2004. The Company accrued a penalty
amount of $875,000 ($1,000,000 million penalty net of imputed interest of
$125,000 at an estimated borrowing rate of 6%) in the fiscal 2003 financial
statements for this matter.
NOTE L - CONTINGENCIES
The Company was a defendant in a claim filed by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
with the International Trade Commission. There is a risk that Fuji could bring a
civil action against the Company for damages for patent infringement by reason
of sales of cameras that have been found in the International Trade Commission
proceedings to infringe Fuji patents. If such a suit was filed against the
Company, it could have a significantly harmful impact on its financial
condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company is unable to
determine the probability or likelihood of such an action.
The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of its business.
NOTE M - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has agreed in principle, to acquire substantially all of the
assets of PhotoAccess Technologies Corporation in exchange for 1.2 million
shares of PhotoWorks Common Stock and the assumption of approximately $150,000
in liabilities. It is anticipated that a definitive agreement will be executed
in the near term. The transaction will broaden PhotoWorks' revenue and customer
base, while providing advanced digital technology and an experienced team of
engineers to continue to support the Company's digital and online initiatives.

General
PhotoWorks, Inc. ("PhotoWorks" or the "Company") is a full-service
photography services company dedicated to providing its customers with
innovative and inspiring ways to create, share and preserve their photographic
memories, primarily through online and mail-order channels. The PhotoWorks(R)
service provides image printing and online image storage and management services
for both digital and film based camera users, primarily in the United States,
which allows customers to store and organize photos online, share them with
friends and family, and order prints, photo albums, and photo related products.
The Company incurred a net loss of $930,000 ($.06 per share) during the
first six months of fiscal 2004, compared to a net loss of $2,498,000 ($.15 per
share) for the first six months of 2003. Although revenues for the first six
months of fiscal 2004 declined by approximately 31% compared to the same period
for fiscal 2003, the Company reduced its net loss through improved operating
efficiencies and lower operating costs.
Operating results may fluctuate in the future due to changes in the mix of
sales, marketing and promotional activities, introductions of new products,
research and development requirements, actions by competitors, price increases
or decreases by suppliers, conditions in the direct-to-consumer market and the
photofinishing industry in general, national and global economic and political
conditions, and other factors.
Demand for the Company's services is generally seasonal, producing the
highest volumes in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. However,
seasonality of demand may be offset by changes in the effectiveness of marketing
programs, the introduction of new services and products, actions by competitors
and other factors. Operating results are affected by the seasonality of the
Company's net revenues due to the fixed nature of a portion of the Company's
operating expenses, seasonal variation in sales mix, and product development and
marketing expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, net revenue, and expenses. Management's estimates and judgments are
based upon the Company's historical experience, knowledge of economic and market
factors, and various other factors that are believed to be relevant given the
circumstances. Significant policies, methodologies, estimates, and the factors
used therein, are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis with the Company's
Audit Committee. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Page 11 of 20
The following is a discussion of the estimates included in the Company's
financial statements that encompass matters of uncertainty, whereby different
estimates could have reasonably been made or changes in such estimates could
have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Reserve for Obsolete Inventory
We regularly assess the valuation of our inventory and write down those
inventories that are obsolete, or in excess of forecasted usage, to their
estimated realizable value. A reserve for obsolescence is recorded against
inventory for any film or paper inventories that are nearing their expiration
dates. Additional reserves are recorded for slow-moving or discontinued stock to
the extent it is estimated the materials may go unused based on historical
inventory turnover, planned changes in marketing promotions or other anticipated
changes in product mix over the next year, seasonality, or other factors.
Estimates of future usage are based on estimates of future sales and product
mix. If actual sales or product mix differs from our estimates, we may need to
record additional reserves for obsolete inventory.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when products are shipped or services are delivered.
PhotoWorks provides its customers with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The
majority of the Company's products and services will not be returned but
customers can request a refund if not satisfied. During fiscal year 2003,
refunds were less than 1% of net revenues. An allowance is recorded for expected
future returns.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we launched our Pick Your Prints
service for film processing orders. Under this service, a customer's images are
digitized and only the negatives are initially mailed back. As part of the
initial transaction, a customer is issued one print credit per image developed,
which they can then use to purchase only the photos they want to have printed.
Prints are then produced utilizing the digital images. A portion of the initial
purchase is deferred equal to the relative fair value of the digital prints.
Revenue is recognized upon utilization of the print credits to order the digital
prints. As of March 27, 2004, approximately $200,000 was deferred under this
program.
In November 2004, we began offering a prepaid print credit product,
whereby customers can buy online digital print credits to use on future print
orders. Amounts received for the purchase of these credits are deferred and
revenue is recognized upon fulfillment of digital print orders. As of March 27,
2004, approximately $120,000 was deferred under this program.
Deferred Tax Assets
We have net deferred tax assets totaling $12,112,000, comprised primarily
of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to our recent history of operating
losses, the uncertainty of future taxable income, and limitations on the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards under IRC Section 382, we have
recorded a valuation allowance of $12,112,000 against our net deferred tax
assets.
Contingencies
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims (see Part II, Item
1 - Legal Proceedings and Note L of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements),
the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies, requires that estimated amounts relating to a
contingency should be recorded if it is probable that a liability or gain has
been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a loss
contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a
loss may have been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of
probability of the outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the
amounts.

===== ===== ===== =====
Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 were $4,553,000,
compared to net revenues of $6,500,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. For
the six months ended March 27, 2004, net revenues were $10,308,000 compared to
$14,853,000 for the same period of fiscal 2003. The decline in net revenues was
primarily due to continued lower film processing volumes, partially offset by
growth in digital printing services. Digital revenues in the second quarter of
fiscal 2004 increased 5.0% to $606,000 compared to $578,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003. Year to date revenues from digital products and services
increased 16.7% to $1,551,000 compared to $1,329,000 for the same period of
fiscal 2003. In addition, net revenues in fiscal 2003 included approximately
$609,000 from sales generated at retail stores, which were closed by the end of
fiscal 2003 in order to focus resources on digital and online initiatives. Net
revenues in fiscal 2004 are expected to continue to be lower than fiscal 2003
due to lower film processing volumes.
Cost of goods and services consists of labor, processing materials and
supplies, shipping and handling costs and fixed operating costs related to the
Company's services and products. Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal
2004 increased to 18.6% of net revenues compared to 15.7% of net revenues in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first six months of fiscal 2004, gross
profit increased to 24.7% compared to 19.5% for the same period of fiscal 2003.
The increases were primarily due to lower labor and materials costs and closing
lower margin retail stores, as well as a shift in the product mix towards
digital products and services. Net revenues from digital products increased to
15.0% of total net revenues year to date, compared to 8.9% in the prior year.
Margins on certain digital print services also increased due to higher selling
prices in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2004 as compared to the first
two quarters of fiscal 2003. Gross profit fluctuates due to the seasonal nature
of revenues when measured against relatively fixed overhead costs associated
with equipment and facilities.

Marketing expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 were $562,000
compared to $493,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. For the first six
months of fiscal 2004, marketing expenses decreased to $1,139,000 compared to
$1,412,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003. Marketing expenditures in fiscal
2004 have been focused on new marketing programs designed to test acquisition
and customer reactivation strategies through targeted mail and email campaigns.
Marketing expenses will fluctuate due to the timing and magnitude of promotional
activities and product and service introductions.
Research and development expenses decreased to $435,000 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to $715,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
2003. For the first six months of fiscal 2004, research and development expenses
decreased to $900,000 as compared to $1,251,000 for the same period of fiscal
2003. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in
developing online products and services for digital image management and print
services, and creating equipment necessary to provide customers with new digital
photographic services and products.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $377,000 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to $1,339,000 for the second quarter of fiscal
2003. For the six months ended March 27, 2004, general and administrative
expenses decreased to $1,470,000 compared to $2,774,000 for the same period of
fiscal 2003. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, PhotoWorks, Inc. and one
of its service providers reached a settlement agreement regarding disputed fees
for services provided to PhotoWorks resulting in a reduction of administrative
expenses of $738,000. In addition, the quarter and year to date expenses were
lower due to reduced staffing and professional service costs. General and
administrative expenses consist of costs related to management information
systems, computer operations, human resource functions, finance, legal,
accounting, investor relations and general corporate activities.
In January 2004, the Company initiated a reduction in force, representing
approximately 18% of its workforce and affecting all areas of the Company. The
Company recorded a charge of approximately $182,000 related to the workforce
reduction in the quarter ended March 27, 2004.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, an adjustment was made to
reflect refundable tax credits available from fiscal 2001 and 2002. The
adjustment resulted in an additional tax benefit of $100,000, which is recorded
as income tax receivable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 1, 2004, the Company's principal source of liquidity included
approximately $2,416,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company's current
ratio as of March 27, 2004 was 1.50 compared to 1.46 at the end of fiscal 2003.
During the first six months of fiscal 2004, the Company used cash from operating
activities of $2,157,000, due primarily to the net operating loss and payments
on accounts payable and accrued compensation.
Based on current operating projections, the Company anticipates that
existing cash and cash equivalents and projected future cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to fund its operations, including the purchase of
assets of PhotoAccess Technologies and any capital expenditures (See Note M -
Subsequent Events of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I
above), through at least the next twelve months. However, if the Company does
not meet its projections or generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy
its ongoing expenses, the Company will be required to seek external sources of
financing or refinance its obligations. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future.
Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, as part of our quarterly
review, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting
Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
timely alert them to any material information relating to the Company (including
its consolidated subsidiaries) that must be included in our periodic SEC
filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to their evaluation.
