Business Summary
priceline.com Incorporated has pioneered an e-commerce pricing system, known as a demand collection system, which enables consumers to use the Internet to save money on a range of products and services, while enabling sellers to generate incremental revenue. Using its consumer proposition, "Name Your Own Price," the Company collects consumer demand, in the form of individual customer offers, for a particular product or service at a price set by the customer. The Company, incorporated in 1997, then either communicates that demand directly to participating sellers or accesses a proprietary database of inventory available to the Company for purchase and, based upon the customer's offer price, elects whether or not to accept that customer's offer. Consumers agree to hold their offers open for a specified period of time and, once fulfilled, offers generally cannot be canceled.

Financial Summary
priceline.com has developed a new type of e-commerce where customers enter prices they're willing to pay for products or services and then the Company contacts sellers to determine whether they can fulfill the customer's offer. For the six months ended 6/30/01, revenues fell 5% to $634.5 million. Net loss applicable to Common decreased 57% to $11 million. Results reflect a difficult airline travel market, offset by reduced personnel and marketing expenses.
