The eCommerce Industry
Online shopping has established itself as a large and rapidly growing channel for consumers and merchants to buy and sell goods and services. The U.S. online buyer population, which consisted of 49 million individuals in 2000, grew to an estimated 97 million in 2003. The value of U.S. online retail sales, which was $42 billion in 2000, grew to an estimated $96 billion in 2003. Researching products online has become the one of the most popular online activities after email and search.
Commerce Planet believes that the key forces driving the growth of online shopping are: convenience, selection and savings. The Internet offers around-the-clock access to millions of products and thousands of stores, unlike in-store shopping. It contains shopping information from a wide variety of sources, including merchant websites, manufacturer websites and other online content providers. Consumers utilize this convenience, selection and information to save time and money.
The company believes that individuals and businesses desire an integrated package that is inexpensive, comprehensive and easily navigable. CPNE believes current electronic commerce applications in the market do not include complete functionality such as webstore generation, merchant processing capabilities, customer management, online training modules, domain name registration and an array of wholesale products. Accordingly, Commerce Planet believes there is a large demand for a complete electronic commerce product for individuals and businesses and that demand is not being currently met by any provider of electronic commerce products.

The Future
Commerce Planet is the complete extension of the original “.com” dream. They have successfully harnessed the power of the internet to track customer data and purchasing habits. The flaw of early stage internet businesses was that they focused on capturing market share without thought to monetizing that market share. Commerce Planet has managed to successfully capture and monetize consumer data to its highest level of profitability. Commerce Planet will attempt to continue to grow its revenues and profits by implementing new products and services into their already highly successful business model. There are also several competitive acquisition targets that have managed to generate either traffic or developed products and services, but have failed to merge the two concepts together to achieve profitability. Commerce Planet will look to acquire select targeted companies through organic funding and secondary financing in order to realize gross revenue levels that allow for exponential returns through economies of scale.
President Charlie Gugliuzza stated "The improvements to the Company's operational infrastructure, product offering and services over the last twelve months have created a highly profitable and rapidly growing business. We are finally seeing the fruits from the hard work our management team has put into reaching profitability and organic stability. Our business model is poised to experience continued growth based upon our most recent and encouraging financial news. We are truly excited about the upcoming quarter's potential with the recent and scheduled launches of our affiliate network http://www.legacynetwork.com, international order processing, Costa Rican call center and http://www.investinginsuccess.com. We believe that our three consecutive quarters of growth and future potential should provide incentive for institutional investors to take notice in our Company's stock. We hope this will help usher our path to a national exchange listing."
