  • Egghead.com (NASDAQ:EGGS) reports a $5.5 million loss or $0.24 per share for its fiscal first-quarter quarter ending June 27 vs. $3.7 million loss or $0.21 per share for the same quarter last year. Revenue from the Web-based efforts (which is Egghead’s focus now and in the future) is up 41% sequentially to $21.1 million vs. $15 million last quarter.

    Overall EGGS revenue, which includes catalog and call center revenue that Egghead cut back on, drops to $29.5 million from $56.2 million the same quarter last year. Our target for EGGS was a $0.35 loss per share but we expect losses to continue as Egghead integrates its Web sites and grows its market share through marketing and ad expenditures.

  • Open Market (NASDAQ:OMKT) receives $20 million private placement from CMG Info (NASDAQ:CMGI) and Heights Capital Management, a equity-financing growth fund. Terms: 1,338,912 shares of unregistered common stock at a price of $14.94 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 334,728 common shares at a price of $16.43 per share. The e-commerce and business-to-business Web software’s clients include top telco and publishing firms.
