(1)  This Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Class
     A Common Stock which become issuable under the shares registered pursuant
     to this Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock
     split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without
     the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of
     the Registrant's outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

     calculating the registration fee of options granted and outstanding, based

                                     PART II

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

     The following documents and information previously filed by
ResourcePhoenix.com (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by reference into the
Registration Statement:

     1.   The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
          September 30, 1999.

     2.   The Registrant's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) on October
14, 1999.

     3.   The description of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock contained in
the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed September 24, 1999.

     All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Article 12 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Article VI
of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its
directors and officers, and permissible indemnification of employees and other
agents, to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
In addition, the Registrant will enter into Indemnification Agreements with its
officers and directors. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will
not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law,
(iii) for unlawful payments or dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions as provided Section 174 of Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv)
for transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Delaware Law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a director's duty of
care, and the provisions of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation have
no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as injunction or
rescission, based upon a director's breach of the duty of care.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION

     Not applicable.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a)  The Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (i)   To file, during any period which offers or sales are being made,
                a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
                include any material information with respect to the plan of
                distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
                Statement or any material change to such information in the
                Registration Statement.

          (ii)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
                be a new registration statement relating to the securities
                offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
                time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
                thereof.

          (iii) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b)  The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
          liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's
          annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
          Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
          benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
          Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
          shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
          securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.

     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
          persons of the Registrant pursuant to law, the Registrant's Amended
          and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, indemnification
          agreements, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
          opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
          policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
          incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
          Registrant in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
          is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the

                                       2

<PAGE>   4

         Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
         been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
         appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
         by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
         will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     A Common Stock which become issuable under the shares registered pursuant
     to this Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock

                                     PART II

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

     The following documents and information previously filed by
ResourcePhoenix.com (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated by reference into the
Registration Statement:

     1.   The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
          September 30, 1999.

     2.   The Registrant's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) on October
14, 1999.

     3.   The description of the Registrant's Class A Common Stock contained in
the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed September 24, 1999.

     All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Article 12 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Article VI
of the Registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its
directors and officers, and permissible indemnification of employees and other
agents, to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
In addition, the Registrant will enter into Indemnification Agreements with its
officers and directors. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will
not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law,
(iii) for unlawful payments or dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions as provided Section 174 of Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv)
for transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Delaware Law does not permit a corporation to eliminate a director's duty of
care, and the provisions of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation have
no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as injunction or
rescission, based upon a director's breach of the duty of care.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION

     Not applicable.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a)  The Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (i)   To file, during any period which offers or sales are being made,
                a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
                include any material information with respect to the plan of
                distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
                Statement or any material change to such information in the
                Registration Statement.

          (ii)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
                be a new registration statement relating to the securities
                offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
                time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
                thereof.

          (iii) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b)  The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
          liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's
          annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
          Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
          benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
          Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
          shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
          securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.

     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
          persons of the Registrant pursuant to law, the Registrant's Amended
          and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, indemnification
          agreements, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
          opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
          policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
          incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
          Registrant in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
          is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the

                                       2

         Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
         been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
         appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
         by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
         will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
