We are enthusiastic about the growth of DSL, and we believe we have successfully positioned Innotrac to be a major contributor to the implementation of this service for consumers throughout the country."

David Gamsey, senior vice president and chief financial officer added, "The Company's shift to a fee-for-service business model also gained momentum during the third quarter, which is clearly evident in the growth of cash flow from operations. As anticipated, this shift drove a reduction in accounts receivable accounts receivable n. the amounts of money due or owed to a business or professional by customers or clients. Generally, accounts receivable refers to the total amount due and is considered in calculating the value of a business or the business' problems in paying  during the quarter to $42.9 million at the end of the quarter from $65.4 million at the same time last year and $58.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2000. Innotrac's inventory also remained lower because of the shift to fee-for-service, ending the quarter at $15.3 million, compared with $39.5 million at the end of 1999. Primarily because of these reductions, Innotrac completed the third quarter with cash of $18.4 million, no debt under its $40 million line of credit and tangible Possessing a physical form that can be touched or felt.
