We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Annual Report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time are based on management's beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words "anticipate", "believe", "expert", "intend", "may", "plan", "estimate", "project", "should", "will be" and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the risks discussed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Accordingly, past results and trends should not be used by investors to anticipate future results or trends. OVERVIEW AND RECENT EVENTS Dynabazaar, Inc. ("we," "us," "Dynabazaar" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware in February 1997 as "Fairmarket, Inc." Through September 3, 2003, the Company was an online auction and promotions technology service provider that enabled marketers to create results-oriented rewards programs and helped commerce companies automate the process of selling their excess inventory online to wholesale and retail buyers. On September 4, 2003, we sold substantially all of our operating assets to eBay, Inc. ("eBay") for consideration of $4.5 million in cash under the terms and conditions of an asset purchase agreement we entered into with eBay on June 20, 2003 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). Following the closing of the asset sale, we changed our name from "Fairmarket, Inc." to "Dynabazaar, Inc." We are currently reviewing alternatives for the use of our remaining assets, which may include pursuing a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution, possibly including the sale of our remaining assets. Alternatively, we may decide to pursue selling our remaining assets outside of a liquidation and dissolution, to make additional distributions of cash to our stockholders and/or to explore other business opportunities unrelated to our historical business, including the possible acquisition of other businesses or the possible merger with another Company. At this time, our Board of Directors has not made any decision to pursue any one of these options and has not identified any such opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or successfully capitalize on any appropriate business opportunities. In connection with the Company's cessation of its online auction business, the Company relocated its principal executive offices as of January 1, 2004 to 888 Seventh Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, 10019, an office maintained by Barington Capital Group, L.P. ("Barington"), a limited partnership whose general partner is a corporation of which James Mitarotonda is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mitarotonda is a director of the Company and our former President and Chief Executive Officer. William Fox, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is the Vice Chairman of Barington. Pursuant to an administrative services agreement we entered into with Barington in December 2003 (which ran through December 31, 2004), we paid Barington a monthly fee of $8,000 for performing certain administrative services on behalf of the Company. In connection with the agreement, we also granted to James Mitarotonda an option to purchase 320,000 shares of our common stock. The option is fully exercisable and was granted with an exercise price per share equal to $0.33, the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The Company entered into an amended administrative services agreement with Barington dated as of December 17, 2004. Under the amended agreement, which runs through December 31, 2006, Barington is to be paid a fee of $15,000 per month for performing certain administrative, accounting and other services on behalf of the Company. However, as of March 1, 2006, the Company and Barington agreed to reduce the monthly fee to $7,500. In addition, Barington is to be paid a fee of 1 $175 an hour for any legal services provided by Barington on behalf of the Company at the Company's request. The Company has also agreed that in the event that Barington identifies for the Company, at its request, a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition or joint venture, and/or provides the Company with financial consulting or merger and acquisition services in connection with such business transaction, the Company will pay Barington a fee to be agreed upon between Barington and the Board of Directors of the Company. In connection with the amended agreement, the Company granted options to certain designees of Barington to purchase, in the aggregate, 320,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. On January 31, 2005, the Board of Directors appointed Karen Schneider to serve as a Class II director. On March 23, 2006, Karen Schneider resigned from the Board of Directors in order to devote additional time to her position as a senior executive of Pringles of Scotland, a fashion manufacturing company located in the United Kingdom. On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Lloyd Miller, III, a former director of the Company, on behalf of himself and on behalf of certain affiliated entities, whereby the Company purchased from Mr. Miller and such affiliated entities an aggregate of 3,657,988 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.2 million. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Miller was also paid 13.6% of the net proceeds distributed to the Company pursuant to the escrow agreement dated as of September 4, 2003 by and among the Company, eBay and Zions First National Bank, as additional consideration for his shares of common stock (the "Escrow Agreement"). On September 6, 2005, the Company received a payment of $2,045,982 from Zions First National Bank Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The payment represented the $2 million held in escrow under the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement we entered into with eBay together with $45,982 of accrued interest. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with former director Lloyd Miller, III and certain affiliated entities, the Company paid to Mr. Miller and certain affiliated entities approximately $278,000 from the proceeds of the Escrow Agreement, which was recorded as additional consideration for the stock purchase. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in item 7, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Annual Report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time are based on management's beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words "anticipate", "believe", "expert", "intend", "may", "plan", "estimate", "project", "should", "will be" and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affect by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the risks discussed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks discussed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report. Should one or more these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Accordingly, past results and trends should not be used by investors to anticipate future results or trends. Some of the factors that might cause these differences include those set forth below. You should carefully review all of these factors, and you should be aware that there may be other factors that could cause these differences. These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this Form 10-K, and we do not promise to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes. 2 WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE AN OPERATING BUSINESS, BUT ALSO DO NOT INTEND TO PURSUE A COURSE OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION, AND ACCORDINGLY, THE VALUE OF YOUR SHARES MAY DECREASE We currently do not have any operating business; we are considering various options for the use of our remaining assets, but have yet to approve any definitive plans. In the meantime, we will continue to incur operating expenses while we consider alternative operating plans. These plans may include business combinations with or investments in other operating companies, or entering into a completely new line of business. We have not yet identified any such opportunities, and thus, you will not be able to evaluate the impact of such a business strategy on the value of your stock. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify any appropriate business opportunities. Even if we are able to identify business opportunities that our Board deems appropriate, we cannot assure you that such a strategy will provide you with a positive return on your investment, and it may in fact result in a substantial decrease in the value of your stock. These factors will substantially increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our shares. Furthermore, we currently do not intend to pursue a course of complete liquidation and dissolution. As a result, you should not expect any further cash distributions. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY OR FULLY CAPITALIZE ON ANY APPROPRIATE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES We are considering various options for the use of our remaining assets, which may include business combinations, or a merger with, or investments in other operating companies, or entering into a completely new line of business. Nevertheless, we have not yet identified any appropriate business opportunities, and, due to a variety of factors outside of our control, we may not be able to identify or fully capitalize on any such opportunities. These factors include: (1) competition from other potential acquirers and partners of and investors in potential acquisitions, many of whom may have greater financial resources than we do; (2) in specific cases, failure to agree on the terms of a potential acquisition, such as the amount or price of our acquired interest, or incompatibility between us and management of the company we wish to acquire; and (3) the possibility that we may lack sufficient capital and/or expertise to develop promising opportunities. Even if we are able to identify business opportunities that our Board deems appropriate, we cannot assure you that such a strategy will provide you with a positive return on your investment, and may in fact result in a substantial decrease in the value of your stock. In addition, if we enter into a combination with a business that has operating income, we cannot assure you that we will be able to utilize all or even a portion of our existing net operating loss carryover for federal or state tax purposes following such a business combination. If we are unable to make use of our existing net operating loss carryover, the tax advantages of such a combination may be limited, which could negatively impact the price of our stock and the value of your investment. These factors will substantially increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our shares. STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE LIABLE TO OUR CREDITORS FOR UP TO AMOUNTS RECEIVED FROM US IF OUR RESERVES ARE INADEQUATE If we pursue a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution, a Certificate of Dissolution will be filed with the State of Delaware after such plan is approved by our stockholders. Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, we will continue to exist for three years after the dissolution becomes effective or for such longer period as the Delaware Court of Chancery shall direct, for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits against us and enabling us gradually to close our business, to dispose of our property, to discharge our liabilities and to distribute to our stockholders any remaining assets. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, in the event we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities during this three-year period, each stockholder could be held liable for payment to our creditors for such stockholder's pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve. The liability of any stockholder would be limited, however, to the amounts previously received by such stockholder from us (and from any liquidating trust or trusts), including the cash distribution of $1.30 per share paid to stockholders on November 3, 2003. Accordingly, in such event a stockholder could be required to return all distributions previously made to such stockholder. In such event, a stockholder could receive nothing from us under a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution. Moreover, in the event a stockholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a stockholder incurring a net tax cost if the stockholder's repayment of an amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable. There can be no assurance that the contingency reserve maintained by us will be adequate to cover any expenses and liabilities. 3 OUR STOCK HAS BEEN DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET, AND IS THEREFORE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS LIQUID THAN BEFORE Our stock has been delisted from trading on The Nasdaq National Market by reason of not maintaining listing requirements due to, among other things, significantly reduced market price of our common stock. As a result, our common stock currently trades over the counter on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board and the ability of our stockholders to obtain liquidity and fair market prices for our shares has been significantly impaired. WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR THE EXPENSE OF COMPLYING WITH PUBLIC COMPANY REPORTING AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable requirements including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 even though compliance with such requirements is economically burdensome. In order to curtail expenses, if we elect to pursue a liquidation and dissolution strategy, after we file our Certificate of Dissolution, we will seek relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission from the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, which may or may not be granted. Until such relief is granted we will continue to make obligatory Exchange Act filings. We anticipate that even if such relief is granted in the future, we will continue to file current reports on Form 8-K to disclose material events relating to our liquidation and dissolution along with any other reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission may require. WE FACE AND MIGHT FACE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS THAT MIGHT BE COSTLY TO RESOLVE From time to time, we have received letters from corporations and other entities suggesting that we review patents to which they claim rights or claiming that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Such claims may result in our being involved in litigation. Although we sold our operating assets to eBay, we still have exposure for liabilities relating to our business operations prior to the sale. Further, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert claims in the future or that we will prevail against any such claims. We could incur substantial costs to defend any claims relating to proprietary rights, which would deplete our remaining cash assets. In addition, we are obligated under certain agreements to indemnify the other party for claims that we infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties. If we are required to indemnify parties under these agreements, our remaining assets could be substantially reduced. If someone asserts a claim against us relating to proprietary technology or information, we might seek settlement of such claim. We might not be able to agree to a settlement on reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain a settlement on acceptable terms would decrease cash for other purposes. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's headquarters are located in New York City, in an office maintained by Barington Capital Group, L.P., a limited partnership whose general partner is a corporation of which James Mitarotonda is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mitarotonda is a director of the Company and our former President and Chief Executive Officer. William Fox, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is the Vice Chairman of Barington. On January 20, 2004, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Acquaport Unicorn, Inc., the landlord of the Company's Woburn, Massachusetts headquarters, providing for termination of the Company's lease in consideration of a cash payment of $1.2 million. In March 2004, the cash payment was made and on April 9, 2004 our last employee was terminated and the premises vacated. On September 28, 2004, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Regal House Limited, the landlord of the Company's London, UK, headquarters, providing for termination of the Company's lease in consideration of a 4 cash payment of approximately $463,000. The cash payment was drawn from the security deposit of approximately $569,000 held by the landlord. The remaining balance of $106,000 was returned to us. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are a defendant in certain purported class action lawsuits filed by individual shareholders in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Dynabazaar, Scott Randall (former President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Dynabazaar), John Belchers (former Chief Financial Officer of Dynabazaar), U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc., DB Alex. Brown (as successor-in-interest to Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.), Robertson Stephens, Inc. (formerly known as FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.), Banc of America Securities, LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co., Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (as successor-in-interest to Salomon Smith Barney, Inc.), and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. (as successor-in-interest to Hambrecht & Quist, LLC). The lawsuits have been filed by individual shareholders who purport to seek class action status on behalf of all other similarly situated persons who purchased the common stock of Dynabazaar between March 14, 2000 and December 6, 2000. The lawsuits allege that certain underwriters of Dynabazaar's initial public offering solicited and received excessive and undisclosed fees and commissions in connection with that offering. The lawsuits further allege that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing a registration statement and prospectus in connection with Dynabazaar's initial public offering which failed to accurately disclose the amount and nature of the commissions and fees paid to the underwriter defendants. On or about October 8, 2002, the Court entered an Order dismissing the claims asserted against certain individual defendants in the consolidated actions, including the claims against Mr. Randall and Mr. Belchers, without any payment from these individuals or the Company. On or about February 19, 2003, the Court entered an Order dismissing with prejudice the claims asserted against the Company under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, the only claims that remain against the Company are those arising under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has entered into an agreement-in-principle to settle the remaining claims in the litigation. The proposed settlement will result in a dismissal with prejudice of all claims and will include a release of all claims that were brought or could have been brought against the Company and its present and former directors and officers. It is anticipated that any payment to the plaintiff class and their counsel will be funded by the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance and that no direct payment will be made by the Company. The parties have negotiated and executed a definitive settlement agreement. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1 billion by insurers of the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, Dynabazaar and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that they may have against the underwriters of their IPO's. The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers' directors and officers' liability insurance policy proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuer's insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuer's allocable share of the settlement costs. If ultimately approved by the Court, the proposed settlement would result in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against Dynabazaar and all of the other issuer defendants who have elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation as against those defendants is continuing. Consummation of the proposed settlement remains conditioned upon obtaining approval by the Court. On September 1, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement, directed that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be provided to class members, and scheduled a fairness hearing for April 24, 2006, at which objections to the proposed settlement will be heard. Thereafter, the Court will determine whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not applicable. 5 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FAIM.OB." Our common stock was quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, but was delisted on June 24, 2004. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sale price per share of our common stock on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board. HIGH LOW ------- ------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005: First Quarter ................................ $ 0.35 $ 0.30 Second Quarter ............................... $ 0.34 $ 0.30 Third Quarter ................................ $ 0.41 $ 0.31 Fourth Quarter ............................... $ 0.39 $ 0.36 HIGH LOW ------- ------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004: First Quarter ................................ $ 0.44 $ 0.32 Second Quarter ............................... $ 0.39 $ 0.30 Third Quarter ................................ $ 0.31 $ 0.26 Fourth Quarter ............................... $ 0.35 $ 0.27 As of March 30, 2006, there were approximately 171 holders of record of our common stock. We have not paid or declared any cash dividends on shares of our common stock other than a $1.30 per share cash distribution that was declared in October 2003 and paid in November 2003 to stockholders of record on October 20, 2003. The total amount of the distribution was approximately $35 million. Any future determinations as to the payment of dividends on our common stock will depend upon our capital requirements, earnings, liquidity and such other factors as our Board of Directors may consider. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF REGISTERED SECURITIES On March 17, 2000, we completed the sale of 5,750,000 shares of our common stock in an initial public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-92677), as amended, that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2000. The proceeds to us from the initial public offering were $89.1 million, net of offering expenses. We estimate that, as of December 31, 2005, approximately $35.3 million has been used for working capital purposes, including approximately $5.1 million used for the purchase of equipment, $4.0 million to repurchase 3.1 million shares of our common stock from our founder, $35 million for the cash distribution paid in November 2003 and $3.5 million for the September 2003 Series B repurchase and liquidation preference. At December 31, 2005, substantially all of the remaining net proceeds (approximately $9 million) were held in investments in interest-bearing accounts. ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Annual Report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time are based on management's beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words "anticipate", "believe", "expert", "intend", "may", "plan", "estimate", "project", "should", "will be" and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the risks discussed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Accordingly, past results and trends should not be used by investors to anticipate future results or trends. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the description of our business and our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Report. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical: 7 Revenue Recognition. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, we do not record revenue until all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered; our price to our customer is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. We derive revenue from application fees, transaction fees and professional services fees. Application fees consist of implementation fees and fixed monthly hosting, support and operating fees. We record implementation fees as deferred revenue and recognize these fees as revenue, ratably, over the contract period which approximates the life of our customer relationship. We recognize fixed monthly hosting fees as revenue in the month that the service is provided. We recognize transaction fees as revenue, net of amounts paid to our customers, at the completion of the listing period. We record certain professional services fees related to ongoing service relationships as deferred revenue and recognize these fees as revenue ratably over the remaining contract period. Professional services fees which represent a separate earnings process and are unrelated to ongoing services are recognized as revenue in the period the service is provided. We follow the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products ("EITF 01-09"), in determining whether consideration, including equity instruments, given to a customer should be recorded as an operating expense or a reduction of revenue recognized from that same customer. Consideration given to a customer is recorded as a reduction of revenue unless both of the following conditions are met: o We receive an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration, and the identified benefit is sufficiently separable from the customer's purchase of the Company's products and services such that the Company could have purchased the products from a third party; and o We can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. If both of the conditions are met, we record consideration paid to customers as an expense. Consideration, including equity instruments, not meeting the above criteria, is recorded as a reduction of revenue to the extent the Company has recorded cumulative revenue from the customer or reseller. Any consideration in excess of cumulative revenue recognized from the customer or reseller is recorded as an operating expense. Identifying transactions that are within the scope of EITF 01-09, determining whether those transactions meet the criteria for recognition as an expense and determining the methodology of cost recognition associated with these arrangements requires us to make significant judgments. If we reached different conclusions, reported revenue could be materially different. Deferred tax assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we consider future taxable income and tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, if management were to determine that the Company would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would affect the provision for income taxes in the period such determination was made. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123(R)"). SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award during the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share 8 options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modifications. The Company has not completed its evaluation of SFAS No. 123(R) but expects the adoption of this new standard will not have a material impact on operating results of the Company. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Finally, this Statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, AND 2003 For the year ended December 31, 2005 we had net income of approximately $1.3 million. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 our net loss was approximately $2.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Our net income for 2005 is attributable to the receipt of approximately $2.0 million, plus interest, held in escrow in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with eBay, and interest income of approximately $400,000 offset by expenses of approximately $1.1 million. REVENUE Total revenue was $0 for 2005 and 2004 and $6,673 in 2003. The decrease in revenues is due to the cessation of the Company's online auction business. OPERATING EXPENSES COST OF REVENUE Cost of revenue was $0 in 2005 and 2004 and $2.1 million in 2003. Cost of revenue consisted of costs for direct customer support and support to end-users of our customers' sites, depreciation of network equipment, fees paid to network providers for bandwidth and monthly fees paid to third-party network providers. The decrease in 2004 was due to the cessation of the Company's online auction business. Gross profit was 0.0%, 0.0% and 68.8% of total revenue for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. This decrease in gross profit from 2003 was attributable to the decrease in revenue discussed above. 9 SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses were $0 for each of 2005 and 2004, and $2.0 million for 2003. The decrease in 2005 and 2004 is attributable to the cessation of the Company's online auction business. DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING Development and engineering expenses were $0 in 2005 and 2004 and $1.1 million for 2003. The decrease for 2004 is attributable to the cessation of the Company's online auction business. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million in 2005 and $2.2 million in 2004, a reduction of 50%. Expenses in 2005 were primarily related to the payment of liability insurance premiums of approximately $383,000, board of director fees of approximately $134,000 and fees to Barington of approximately $180,000. Expenses in 2004 were primarily related to the payment of liability insurance premiums for the prior Board of $336,000 and the current Board of $90,000 and costs associated with the settlement of leases in the United States and the United Kingdom. General and administrative expenses in 2003 were $7.3 million. Contributing to the expenses in 2003 was the payment, in December of that year, of $830,000 termination pay to all our remaining employees, together with a patent litigation settlement of $210,000 and an increase in the premium for directors and officers' liability insurance. UNUTILIZED OFFICE SPACE CHARGE In the fourth quarter of 2003, we recorded charges of $160,000 for unutilized office space at our previous headquarters in Woburn, Massachusetts. This charge included rent and other related costs for a significant portion of our leased space which has been vacated for the remaining lease term and the write-down of related leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures. In 2004, we terminated our lease for this property. GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS On June 20, 2003, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with eBay to sell substantially all of the Company's technology and business assets to eBay for $4.5 million in cash. On September 4, 2003, the Company closed on the sale of assets to eBay. In connection with the transaction the parties entered into the Escrow Agreement which provided that $2 million of the consideration be held in escrow for a two-year period in order to secure the Company's indemnification obligations. The Company estimated its potential liability under the indemnification to be $2 million in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45") and recorded such liability as a reduction in the gain on the sale of assets. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $1,183,000 based on the proceeds less direct costs of $1,338,000 and the indemnification liability noted above, which is recorded in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. On September 6, 2005, the Company received a payment of $2,045,982 from Zions First National Bank Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The payment represented the $2 million held in escrow under the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement we entered into with eBay together with $45,982 of accrued interest. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with former director Lloyd Miller, III and certain affiliated entities, the Company paid to Mr. Miller and certain affiliated entities a total of approximately $278,000 from the proceeds of the Escrow Agreement, which was recorded as additional consideration for the stock purchase. 10 INTEREST INCOME, NET Interest income was $375,000, $265,000 and $297,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003 respectively. The increase of interest income for 2004 to 2005 is a result of increasing interest rates. The decrease in interest income for 2004 and 2003 was due principally to lower average cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances during these periods as a result of cash used in operating activities and to a lesser extent a decrease in interest rates. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Prior to our initial public offering in March 2000, we financed our operations primarily through private sales of capital stock, the net proceeds of which totaled $27.1 million as of December 31, 1999. In March 2000, we sold 5,750,000 shares of common stock in our initial public offering. The proceeds to us from the initial public offering were $89.1 million, net of offering expenses. At December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.1million. Net cash used in operating activities was $412,000 for 2005, $2.3 million for 2004, and $7.1 million for 2003. Net cash used in operating activities of $412,000 in 2005 reflects a net profit of $1.3 million, offset by a gain on the sale of assets of $2.0 million plus an increase in other assets of $332,000. Net cash used in operating activities in 2004 reflect a net loss of $2.0 million reduced by an increase in other assets of $903,000. Net cash used in operating activities reflect increases from unutilized lease costs of $1.2 million, $838,000 from the accrued expenses and other miscellaneous increase. In 2005, cash provided by investing activities was $2.0 million which is attributable to the gain on the sale of assets. In 2004, cash provided by investing activities decreased to $5.5 million from $18.1 million in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of marketable securities compared to the 2003 activity. During 2003, net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due from the sale of marketable securities. In 2005, net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million primarily for the purchase of treasury stock from Lloyd Miller. In 2004, net cash used in financing activities was $22,000, primarily from the purchase of treasury stock. Net cash used in financing activities was $38.3 million in 2003 primarily from a cash distribution paid to shareholders of record on October 20, 2003. We expect to fund our operating expenses for 2006 from available cash. In addition, we may utilize our cash resources to fund acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses or technologies, though currently we have no commitments for capital expenditures or strategic investments. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating expenditure requirements for the near future. Further, we do not have an operating business and consequently, we are currently exploring various options for the use of our remaining assets, including pursuit of a business strategy unrelated to our historical business. Acquisition and/or operation of any future business strategy may require us to obtain additional financing and/or capital. In the interim, we believe our cash needs will primarily relate to costs associated with operating as a public company, such as legal and accounting costs. If additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on acceptable terms or at all. ITEM 7A.

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is necessarily limited by the staff and other resources available to us. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, Barington is to be paid a fee of $175 an hour for any legal services provided by Barington on behalf of the Company at the Company's request.

Under the policy, the Committee must give prior approval for all auditing services and the terms thereof (which may include providing comfort letters in connection with securities underwritings) and non-audit services (other than non-audit services prohibited under Section 10A(g) of the Exchange Act or the applicable rules of the SEC or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) to be provided.

F-6 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements....................................................... F-7 F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dynabazaar, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dynabazaar, Inc. & Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible preferred stock, stockholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements referred to above, we audited the financial schedules listed under Item 15. In our opinion, these financial schedules, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information stated therein. /s/ Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C.

F-6 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. THE COMPANY Through September 3, 2003, Dynabazaar, Inc. ("we," "us, " "Dynabazaar" or the "Company") was an online auction and promotions technology service provider that enabled marketers to create results-oriented rewards programs and helped commerce companies automate the process of selling their excess inventory online to wholesale and retail buyers. On September 4, 2003, we sold substantially all of our operating assets to eBay, Inc. ("eBay") for consideration of $4.5 million in cash under the terms and conditions of an asset purchase agreement we entered into with eBay on June 20, 2003 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). Following the closing of the asset sale, we changed our name from "Fairmarket, Inc." to "Dynabazaar, Inc." We are currently reviewing alternatives for the use of our remaining assets, which may include other business opportunities unrelated to our historical business, including the possible acquisition of other businesses. At this time, our board of directors has not made any decision to pursue any one of these options and has not identified any such opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or successfully capitalize on any appropriate business opportunities. In connection with the Company's cessation of its online auction business, the Company relocated its principal executive offices as of January 1, 2004 to 888 Seventh Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, 10019, an office maintained by Barington Capital Group, LP ("Barington"), a limited partnership whose general partner is a corporation of which James Mitarotonda is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mitarotonda is a director of the Company and our former President and Chief Executive Officer. William Fox, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is the Vice Chairman of Barington. Pursuant to an administrative services agreement we entered into with Barington in December 2003 (which ran through December 31, 2004), we paid Barington a monthly fee of $8,000 for performing certain administrative services on behalf of the Company. In connection with the agreement, we also granted to James Mitarotonda an option to purchase 320,000 shares of our common stock. The option is fully exercisable and was granted with an exercise price per share equal to $0.33, the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The Company entered into an amended administrative services agreement with Barington dated as of December 17, 2004. Under the amended agreement, which runs through December 31, 2006, Barington is to be paid a fee of $15,000 per month for performing certain administrative, accounting and other services on behalf of the Company. However, as of March 1, 2006 the Company and Barington agreed to reduce the monthly fee to $7,500. In addition, Barington is to be paid a fee of $175 an hour for any legal services provided by Barington on behalf of the Company at the Company's request. The Company has also agreed that in the event that Barington identifies for the Company, at its request, a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition or joint venture, and/or provides the Company with financial consulting or merger and acquisition services in connection with such business transaction, the Company will pay Barington a fee to be agreed upon between Barington and the Board of Directors of the Company. In connection with the amended agreement, the Company granted options to certain designees of Barington to purchase, in the aggregate, 320,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. In January 2004, James Mitarotonda was appointed as our President and Chief Executive Officer and Mel Brunt was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer. In December 2004, Mr. Mitarotonda resigned as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and remained a director of the Company. In December 2004, Mr. William Fox became the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. On January 20, 2004, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Acquaport Unicorn, Inc., the landlord of the Company's Woburn, Massachusetts headquarters, providing for termination of the Company's lease in consideration of a cash payment of $1.2 million. In March 2004, the cash payment was made and on April 9, 2004 our last employee was terminated and the premises vacated. On February 2, 2004, we dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent accountants and engaged Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as our independent auditors commencing with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. F-7 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements On June 15, 2004, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that, because the closing price of our common stock has closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days and we do not presently conduct an operating business, the Company's common stock would be delisted on June 24, 2004. Our stock now trades over the counter on the Nasdaq OTC bulletin board. On June 22, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the termination of the Company's Shareholder Rights Agreement based on its assessment that the termination of the Rights Agreement would benefit the Company's stockholders and enhance the corporate governance practice of the Company. The Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2004, by and between the Company and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent, which provided for the termination of the Company's Shareholder Rights Agreement on July 31, 2004. On August 20, 2004, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 5 million shares of the Corporation's common stock. To date, we have purchased 81,800 shares at an average price per share of $ 0.2689. On September 28, 2004, the Company executed a settlement with Regal House Limited, the landlord of the Company's London, UK headquarters, providing for termination of the Company's lease in consideration of a cash payment of approximately $463,000. The cash payment was drawn from the security deposit of approximately $569,000 held by the landlord. The remaining balance of $106,000 was returned to us. As of September 30, 2004, we held an available-for-sale security in the form of a United States Government Bond. On October 6, 2004, this position was liquidated and re-invested in cash. On December 17, 2004, the Board of Directors appointed Raymond L. Steele to serve as a Class I director. On December 27, 2004, Joseph R. Wright, Jr. resigned from the Board of Directors in order to devote additional time to his position as President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of PanAmSat Corporation, a global provider of satellite-based video, broadcasting and network distribution and delivery services. On January 31, 2005, the Board of Directors appointed Karen Schneider to serve as a Class II director. On March 23, 2006, Karen Schneider resigned from the Board of Directors in order to devote additional time to her position as a senior executive of Pringles of Scotland in the UK. On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Lloyd Miller, III, a former director of the Company, on behalf of himself and certain affiliated entities, whereby the Company purchased from Mr. Miller and such affiliated entities an aggregate of 3,657,988 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.2 million. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Miller is also entitled to receive 13.6% of the net proceeds distributed to the Company pursuant to the escrow agreement dated as of September 4, 2003 by and among the Company, eBay and Zions First National Bank, as additional consideration for his shares of common stock (the "Escrow Agreement"). On September 6, 2005, the Company received a payment of $2,045,982 from Zions First National Bank pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The payment represented the $2 million held in escrow under the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement we entered into with eBay together with $45,982 of accrued interest. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with former director Lloyd Miller, III and certain affiliated entities, the Company paid to Mr. Miller and certain affiliated entities a total of approximately $278,000 from the proceeds of Escrow Agreement, which was recorded as additional consideration for the stock purchase. The Company has not yet settled on an operating plan, although the Company feels its existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund the Company's current operations and satisfy its obligations. The Company believes these obligations will primarily relate to costs associated with the operation as a public company (legal, accounting, insurance, etc.), as well as the satisfaction of any potential legal judgments or settlements and the expenses associated with any new business activities which may be undertaken by the Company. The Company continues to consider future alternatives, including the possible acquisition of other businesses, merger with another Company sale of its remaining assets or a partial or complete liquidation. However, the Company has not consummated any significant transactions to date and the Company's business prospects remain uncertain. To the F-8 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements extent that management of the Company moves forward on any alternative strategy, such strategy may have an impact on the Company's liquidity. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynabazaar and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with current year presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of cash placed in an overnight investment account, commercial paper and money market accounts. The Company maintains cash balances in certain financial institutions that may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $100,000. At December 31, 2005, and at various times during the year, balances of cash at financial institutions exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with what the Company believes are high credit quality financial institutions. CUSTOMERS Our customers included traditional retailers, distributors and manufacturers as well as Internet portals and other web communities primarily engaged in e-commerce. In 2003, we had two major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. eBay, Inc. accounted for 38% and Microsoft Corporation accounted for 11% of total revenue. REVENUE RECOGNITION Prior to the eBay sale, the Company derived revenues from application fees, transaction fees and professional services fees. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, the Company did not record revenue until all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered; the Company's price to its customer is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. Application fees consisted of implementation fees and fixed monthly hosting, support and operating fees. An implementation fee was generally charged for the initial design, development and implementation of a customer's dynamic pricing or points based site or the Company's MarketSelect service, in accordance with the terms of the contract. The implementation fee was generally payable upon execution of the contract, recorded as deferred F-9 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements revenue and recognized as revenue, ratably, over the contract period. A fixed monthly hosting fee covered hosting services, direct customer support services, end-user customer support services, services for online billing and collection of fees for community sites, and other monthly operating services provided by the Company. Fixed monthly service fees were recognized as revenue in the month that the service is provided. Merchant customers generally paid transaction fees at varying percentages of the gross proceeds from the sale of their listed products and services, whether sold on their sites or on other Dynabazaar Network sites or, in the case of the Company's MarketSelect service, on the eBay site. For community customers, transaction fees consisted of the Company's share of listing fees charged by community customers for the listing of products and services, enhanced listing fees charged by community customers for the prominent display of a particular seller listing and success fees charged to sellers upon a completed sale of a listing. Community customers paid transaction fees calculated in one of two ways. Generally, under contracts entered into before 2000, these fees were calculated based on a percentage of the gross proceeds from the sale of the items that were listed through the community site and sold either on the community site or on other Dynabazaar Network sites. These communities received a percentage of the gross proceeds from the sale of items that were listed directly on other sites in the Dynabazaar Network and sold through the community site. Professional services fees primarily consisted of fees for consulting services provided by the Company related to the Company's outsourced, private-label, dynamic pricing solutions, including business applications, technical customization, integration, e-marketing, usability and other consulting services. Certain professional services fees, including technical customization and integration related to ongoing service relationships, were billed over the term of the service, recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue, ratably, over the remaining term of the service contract. Fees for consulting services, which represent a separate earnings process and are unrelated to ongoing services, including business applications, e-marketing, usability and other consulting services, were generally billed and recognized as revenue in the period the service was provided. We followed the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products ("EITF 01-09"), in determining whether consideration, including equity instruments, given to a customer should be recorded as an operating expense or a reduction of revenue recognized from that same customer. Consideration given to a customer is recorded as a reduction of revenue unless both of the following conditions are met: o We receive an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration, and the identified benefit is sufficiently separable from the customer's purchase of our products and services such that we could have purchased the products from a third party, and o We can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. If both of the conditions are met, we record consideration paid to customers as an expense. Consideration, including equity instruments, not meeting the above criteria, is recorded as a reduction of revenue; to the extent we have recorded cumulative revenue from the customer or reseller. Any consideration in excess of cumulative revenue recognized from the customer or reseller is recorded as an operating expense. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences, using current tax rates, of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on the weighted available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages but does not require companies to record compensation costs for stock-based employee compensation at F-10 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation granted to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation costs for stock options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount that must be paid by the employee to acquire the stock under the terms of the stock option. Subsequent changes to option terms can also give rise to compensation. Stock-based compensation issued to non-employees is measured and recorded using the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and has applied APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 would have increased (decreased) to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share amounts): 2005 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income (loss) As reported ........................................................ $ 1,256 $ (1,962) $ (4,722) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported results .................................................. 107 Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair-value-based method for all awards ..................

FOREIGN CURRENCY The functional currencies of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the year. Revenue and expense amounts are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. Net unrealized gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive loss which is a separate component of stockholders' equity. Net realized gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations. F-11 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award during the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original immediately before the modification. The Company has not completed its evaluation of SFAS No. 123(R) but expects the adoption of this new standard will not have an impact on operating results due to the Company's use of options as employee incentives. This statement became effective January 1, 2006. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Finally, this Statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. 3. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of any dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common equivalent shares consist of the assumed exercise of stock options, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding stock using the treasury stock method, and the assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock and warrants. At December 31, 2005, the additional shares amounted to 93,980. At December 31, 2004 and 2003 the additional shares of common stock outstanding have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. F-12 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 4. RESTRICTED CASH Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Ebay, the Company placed $2 million of the consideration received from the sale of substantially all of the Company's operating assets in escrow in order to secure the Company's indemnification for certain representations and warranties. The indemnification was capped at $2 million and for a period of two years following the closing of the asset sale. On September 6, 2005, the Company received a payment of $2,045,982 from Zions First National Bank pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The payment represented the $2 million held in escrow under the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement we entered into with eBay together with $45,982 of accrued interest. 5.

GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS On June 20, 2003, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with eBay to sell substantially all of the Company's technology and business assets to eBay. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to eBay substantially all the Company's business assets for $4.5 million in cash. The Asset Purchase Agreement also provided that $2 million of the consideration be held in escrow in order to secure the Company's indemnification for certain representations and warranties. The indemnification is capped at $2 million and is for a period of two years following the closing of the asset sale. The Company estimated its potential liability under the indemnification to be $2 million in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45") and recorded such liability as a reduction in the gain on the sale of assets. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of approximately $1.2 million based on the proceeds less direct costs of $1,317,000 and the indemnification liability noted above, which is recorded in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. On September 6, 2005 the Company received a payment of $2 million plus interest from Zions First National Bank. This payment represented the $2 million held in escrow under the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with eBay. The Company has now satisfied all requirements of the Asset Purchase Agreement. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted of (i) 90,000,000 shares of voting common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to determine the voting powers, designations, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred shares. On October 10, 2003, the Company declared a cash dividend of $1.30 per share on the Company's common stock, representing an aggregate cash distribution of approximately $35 million. The dividend was paid on November 3, 2003 to stockholders of record on October 20, 2003. F-13 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 8. SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK On May 17, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of 952,380 shares of its Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, to eBay for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million. The Series B preferred stock is entitled to cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 6.5% per annum in preference to any dividend on any other series of preferred stock or common stock. The dividends are cumulative and are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis in any dividend paid on the common stock on an as if converted basis. The Series B preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustment mechanisms including a weighted average anti-dilution mechanism. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a "Liquidation"), the holders of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of certain junior securities, as defined, a per share amount equal to $2.10 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Preference"). In the event of a Liquidation, after payment of the Liquidation Preference and any other liquidation preference on any other series of stock, the Series B preferred stock is entitled to participate on a pro rata basis with the common stock in the distribution of the remaining assets of the Company on as if converted basis. The holders of the Series B preferred stock have the right to require the Company to redeem the Series B preferred stock at any time after the earlier of (a) May 17, 2003, and (b) the happening of a material adverse effect on the Company's business, as defined. The Company had the right, at any time after May 17, 2004, to redeem the outstanding Series B preferred stock at $2.10 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The net proceeds from this offering, after issuance costs, totaled $1.8 million. At the issuance date, the Company estimated the fair value of the Series B preferred stock to be in excess of the amount paid by eBay by $114,200. As a result, the Company recorded an $114,200 adjustment to increase the carrying value of this investment and decrease revenue from eBay in accordance with EITF 01-09 (see Note 2.) The Company accreted the carrying value of the Series B preferred stock up to $2.0 million through May 2003 in accordance with the redemption feature described above. The Company recorded $33,000 in accretion in the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the carrying value of the Series B preferred stock was $0. In connection with the closing of the asset sale, eBay, the holder of the Company's Series B preferred stock (the "Series B Shares"), provided notice to the Company that it had elected to receive a liquidation preference equal to approximately $2 million in the aggregate, or $2.10 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Series B Shares. The liquidation preference and accrued and unpaid dividends were paid to eBay on September 5, 2003 in the amount of approximately $2 million. On September 29, 2003, the Company repurchased from eBay all of the Series B Shares for a purchase price of approximately $1.5 million in cash. The payment represented payment in full for any and all obligations of the Company in respect of the Series B Shares. TREASURY STOCK In 2003 the Company sold 612,000 shares of treasury stock with a par value $.001 and a cost of $1.27 per share, in connection with the with the exercise of employee stock options. On August 20, 2004, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 5 million shares of the Corporation common stock. To date, we have purchased 81,800 shares at an average price per share of $0.2689, under this program. On June 30, 2005, the Company purchased 3,657,988 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement with Lloyd Miller, III. Then on September 6, 2005, the Company paid approximately $278,000 of additional consideration for the above shares in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 9. STOCK OPTION PLANS 2000 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN In February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan"), which provides for the issuance of up to 4,017,250 shares of common stock plus the number of shares as to which options granted under the 1997 and 1999 Plans are forfeited or otherwise terminate F-14 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements unexercised. This plan provides for awards in the form of ISOs, NSOs, restricted stock awards and other forms of awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. At December 31, 2005, there were 5,585,662 shares available for issuance under this plan. The Board of Directors determines the term of each option, the option price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the times at which each option vests. For holders of 10% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, ISOs may not be granted at less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. 2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN In October 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2000 Employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2000 Employee Plan"), which originally provided for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock, under NSOs to employees and key persons of the Company other than any member of the Company's Board of Directors or any other individual who is subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In January 2001, in connection with the one-time employee option exchange incentive program described below, the Board of Directors amended this plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan to 2,654,750. At December 31, 2005, there were 2,450,374 shares available for issuance under this plan. The Board of Directors determines the term of each option, the option price, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the times at which each option vests.

(40.0) 39.9 ---------- ---------- --% --% ========== ========== The Company's federal statutory income tax rate for 2005 and 2004 was 34%. For 2004 the Company recorded no income tax benefit and recorded a full valuation allowance against net operating losses due to uncertainties related to realizability of these tax assets. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of the deferred taxes at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in thousands): DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Net operating loss carryforwards............. $ 4,616 $ 5,122 Valuation allowance.......................... (4,616) (5,122) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets...................... $ - $ -- ========== ========== In connection with ownership changes, it was determined that certain of the Company's net operating loss carryfowards ("NOL") have been limited. The Company recently completed an Internal Revenue Code Section 382 F-16 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements evaluation that quantified the limitation of the NOL. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has approximately $13.6 million of NOL's that can be utilized in the current tax year. These NOL's begin to expire in 2022. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Ownership changes resulting from the Company's issuance of capital stock may further limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based upon the Company's value immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent significant changes in ownership could further affect the limitation in future years. 12. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS (UNAUDITED) The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. In the opinion of management, this information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the amounts stated below to present fairly the quarterly information when read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included above.

UNUTILIZED OFFICE SPACE CHARGE On January 20, 2004, the Company and its landlord in Woburn, Massachusetts agreed to terms in which the Company's obligation under the lease agreement would be terminated. According to the settlement agreement, the Company was obligated to pay the landlord a sum of $1.2 million, which was paid in March 2004. The Company vacated the premises by April 10, 2004. On September 28, 2004, the Company executed a settlement with Regal House Limited, the landlord of the Company's London, UK headquarters, providing for termination of the Company's lease in consideration of a cash payment of approximately $463,000. The cash payment was drawn from the security deposit of approximately $569,000 held by the landlord. The remaining balance of $106,000 was returned to us. F-17 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 14. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are a defendant in certain purported class action lawsuits filed by individual shareholders in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Dynabazaar, Scott Randall (former President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Dynabazaar), John Belchers (former Chief Financial Officer of Dynabazaar), U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc., DB Alex. Brown (as successor-in-interest to Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.), Robertson Stephens, Inc. (formerly known as FleetBoston Robertson Stephens, Inc.), Banc of America Securities, LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co., Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (as successor-in-interest to Salomon Smith Barney, Inc.), and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. (as successor-in-interest to Hambrecht & Quist, LLC). The lawsuits have been filed by individual shareholders who purport to seek class action status on behalf of all other similarly situated persons who purchased the common stock of Dynabazaar between March 14, 2000 and December 6, 2000. The lawsuits allege that certain underwriters of Dynabazaar's initial public offering solicited and received excessive and undisclosed fees and commissions in connection with that offering. The lawsuits further allege that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing a registration statement and prospectus in connection with Dynabazaar's initial public offering which failed to accurately disclose the amount and nature of the commissions and fees paid to the underwriter defendants. On or about October 8, 2002, the Court entered an Order dismissing the claims asserted against certain individual defendants in the consolidated actions, including the claims against Mr. Randall and Mr. Belchers, without any payment from these individuals or the Company. On or about February 19, 2003, the Court entered an Order dismissing with prejudice the claims asserted against the Company under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, the only claims that remain against the Company are those arising under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has entered into an agreement-in-principle to settle the remaining claims in the litigation. The proposed settlement will result in a dismissal with prejudice of all claims and will include a release of all claims that were brought or could have been brought against the Company and its present and former directors and officers. It is anticipated that any payment to the plaintiff class and their counsel will be funded by the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance and that no direct payment will be made by the Company. The parties have negotiated and executed a definitive settlement agreement. The proposed settlement provides that the class members in the class action cases brought against the participating issuer defendants will be guaranteed a recovery of $1 billion by insurers of the participating issuer defendants. If recoveries totaling $1 billion or more are obtained by the class members from the underwriter defendants, however, the monetary obligations to the class members under the proposed settlement will be satisfied. In addition, Dynabazaar and any other participating issuer defendants will be required to assign to the class members certain claims that they may have against the underwriters of their IPO's. The proposed settlement contemplates that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers' directors and officers liability insurance policy proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. A participating issuer defendant could be required to contribute to the costs of the settlement if that issuer's insurance coverage were insufficient to pay that issuer's allocable share of the settlement costs. If ultimately approved by the Court, the proposed settlement would result in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against Dynabazaar and all of the other issuer defendants who have elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. The proposed settlement does not provide for the resolution of any claims against the underwriter defendants, and the litigation as against those defendants is continuing. Consummation of the proposed settlement remains conditioned upon obtaining approval by the Court. On September 1, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement, directed that notice of the terms of the proposed settlement be provided to class members, and scheduled a fairness hearing for April 24, 2006, at which objections to the proposed settlement will be heard. Thereafter, the Court will determine whether to grant final approval to the proposed settlement. F-18 DYNABAZAAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements DYNABAZAAR, INC.
