This excerpt taken from the AMZN 8-K filed Apr 17, 2009.

Infrastructure

 

During 1997, we worked hard to expand our business infrastructure to support these greatly increased traffic, sales, and service levels:

 

  •  

Amazon.com’s employee base grew from 158 to 614, and we significantly strengthened our management team.

 

  •  

Distribution center capacity grew from 50,000 to 285,000 square feet, including a 70% expansion of our Seattle facilities and the launch of our second distribution center in Delaware in November.

 

  •  

Inventories rose to over 200,000 titles at year-end, enabling us to improve availability for our customers.

 

  •  

Our cash and investment balances at year-end were $125 million, thanks to our initial public offering in May 1997 and our $75 million loan, affording us substantial strategic flexibility.
