  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE (AND ITEM
  12, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION)
  The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 9, "Regulation FD Disclosure" and Item 12, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition."
  On April 24, 2003, Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release reporting
  financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003. A copy of the Company's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
  The press release, which has been attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, discloses certain financial measures, such
  as gross billings and days sales outstanding on a gross billings basis, that may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash
  flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These measures should be
  considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The non-GAAP financial measures included in our press release have been reconciled to what
  we believe is the nearest GAAP measure as is now required under new SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.
  As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
