PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 4, 2003


MINIMUM OF 600,000 UNITS

MAXIMUM OF 1,000,000 UNITS


[f2003s1v6001.jpg]


99 Cent Stuff, Inc. is offering a minimum of 600,000 units and a maximum of 1,000,000 units on a “best efforts” basis. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. The common stock and warrants will trade separately immediately. The exercise price of the warrants will be $7.00 per share. The warrants will expire three years from the date of this prospectus. The initial public offering price of the units is expected to be between $5.00 and $6.00 per unit.


We will not close this offering unless we receive commitments to purchase at least 600,000 units by ___________, 2003. If we receive commitments to purchase 600,000 shares by _________, 2003, we will hold the initial closing and we will continue to offer up to an additional 400,000 units until _________, 2003. Until the initial closing, funds will be held in escrow by ___________. If we have not received commitments to purchase 600,000 units by _________, 2003, the offering will terminate and all funds held by the escrow agent will be returned promptly to the purchasers without interest.  The offering may be extended by agreement of 99 Cent Stuff and the placement agent for up to an additional 3 months.


Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “VNOW”. On August 29, 2003, the closing bid price on the common stock was $9.00. Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for our units or warrants. We expect that the units and warrants will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.


We have entered into a placement agency agreement with Keating Investments LLC, a registered broker-dealer, under which Keating Investments will act as our placement agent on a “best efforts” basis in connection with the offer and sale of the shares. A “best efforts” underwriting means that Keating Investments LLC is not obligated to purchase any of the shares offered.


The purchase of the units involves a high degree of risk. Please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7.


Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. We urge you to read the entire prospectus carefully, including Risk Factors, and the financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included in this prospectus. “Us”, “we” and “99 Cent Stuff” refer to 99 Cent Stuff, Inc. and its predecessors 99 Cent Stuff LLC and iVideoNow, Inc.


99 CENT STUFF


99 Cent Stuff is a Florida-based single-priced value retailer of primarily name-brand, consumable merchandise that operates 11 retail stores in south Florida. Our stores offer a wide assortment of regularly available consumer goods as well as a broad variety of quality, closeout merchandise. Every product is sold at 99 cents, including extra value savings of two or three items for 99 cents. We feature consumer staples such as produce and bread to encourage our customers to visit our stores frequently. Our first store opened in 1999 and in 2002 revenues were approximately $39 million.


The Value Retail Industry


Value discount retail is distinguished from other retail formats by the purchase of closeout and other special-situation merchandise at prices generally below original wholesale cost, and the subsequent sale of this merchandise at prices significantly below regular retail. This results in a continually changing selection of products and brands. The sale of closeout or special-situation merchandise develops in response to the need of manufacturers, wholesalers and others to distribute merchandise outside their normal channels. The critical factor that drives performance in the value retail industry is effective inventory purchasing and management. Management believes that the value retail segment represents a significant long-term growth opportunity in the retail industry.


Our Strategy


Our goal is to operate stores providing value to customers on a wide variety of quality and name-brand consumables that can be purchased for 99 cents. Our strategies to achieve this goal include:


Emphasize “Name-Brands”. We believe that customers visit our stores for name-brand consumable merchandise such as Pepsi, General Mills, Gerber Products, Hershey Foods, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft General Foods, Mattel, Nabisco, Nestle, Pillsbury, Procter & Gamble and Revlon brand names.


Carry a Wide Selection of Regularly Available Merchandise. Our retail stores offer consumer items in many staple product categories, which encourages customers to frequently visit our stores for their everyday household needs.


Effective Store Layout. Our stores average 17,000 saleable square feet and are substantially larger than most of the stores of our competitors and are organized in a “supermarket” format and other “big-box” retailers and are attractively merchandised, brightly lit and well-maintained.


Strong Supplier Relationships. Our goal is to develop a reputation as a reliable purchaser of name-brand, quality merchandise at discount prices.


Significant Management Experience


Our founder Raymond Zimmerman, who has over 40 years of retail experience, including as chief executive officer of Service Merchandise Company for 17 years, has provided over $18 million of funding, substantially all of our funding to date. Our other senior management also has significant retail experience in the value discount and other retail segments.

Expansion Plans


99 Cent Stuff believes that our concept can be replicated in most other densely populated areas of Florida and the southeastern U.S. By continuing to focus 99 Cent Stuff store openings in southeast Florida for the immediate future, we can leverage our value concept in the region and take advantage of our existing warehouse and distribution facility and other management and operating efficiencies. Our growth strategy will focus on opening locations in existing markets as well as expanding into adjoining markets. As part of our start-up phase, we have built an organization to handle our planned growth to 25 stores over the next few years in this region.


Corporate Structure


On July 1, 2003, 99 Cent Stuff LLC executed a merger agreement with iVideoNow, Inc. where 99 Cent Stuff would be acquired by iVideoNow in exchange for 4,750,000 shares of common stock and that iVideoNow would effect a reverse stock split such that on the closing date there would be 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding.  On August 13, 2003, iVideoNow mailed an information statement to its shareholders that stated that the board of directors and a majority of its shareholders had approved the reverse stock split, a name change to 99 Cent Stuff, Inc., the reincorporation into Florida and a stock option plan.  The merger was effective on September 3, 2003 and the 1-30 reverse split and an additional 1-4 reverse stock split will be effective in September 2003.

 

Immediately after the merger we reincorporated in the State of Florida. Our executive offices are located at 1801 Clint Moore Road, Suite 217, Boca Raton, Florida 33487 and our telephone number is (561) 999-9815. Information on our website, www.99centstuff.com, is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS


You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business' financial condition or operating results may be materially and adversely affected. In this event, the trading price of our common stock may decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.


Risks Related To Our Business


We have had losses since inception in 1999 and expect losses in 2003, which has affected our working capital.


We had losses of $5.3 million in 2002 and $6.5 million in 2001. We expect to have losses in 2003 and cannot assure you that we will have a profit in  any future year. Due to these losses, we had a negative working capital of $9.9 million at June 30, 2003 and have continued to need cash for operations. This amount includes approximately $4.4 million owed to Raymond Zimmerman, our chairman and principal shareholder, at June 30, 2003 after conversion of $14.6 million of debt to equity. Our losses since inception in 1999 were due to


costs associated with the opening of all of its stores,

delays in opening stores and the costs of carrying extra inventory and rent,

inability from time to time to properly purchase inventory and stock the stores due to cash shortfalls,

costs associated with establishing our warehouse and corporate operations, and

costs associated with developing and implementing our information technology systems for the warehouse and stores.



Our independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion, which has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Because of our significant operating losses and reliance on related party funding to maintain operations, our independent auditors' report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. These operating losses and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


We will be unable to generate profits unless we increase our gross margins and volume.


The key to achieving profitability in the value business is to be able to rapidly purchase goods and be able to pay within terms in order to obtain the lowest prices. Due to our lack of operating cash, we have not been able to purchase inventory in the most efficient fashion and we have incurred lower margins than some of our competitors. This has also affected our revenues. We need the proceeds of this offering so that we can effectively purchase inventory and increase our gross margins to satisfactory levels.


Our operating losses have decreased working capital and limited our ability to buy sufficient inventory at higher margins. Also, we have not been able to control the mix of sales and margins that would maximize sales and provide higher margins. During any future period in which we have limited working capital, it is likely that our margins will decrease.


We have been financially dependent on our principal shareholder for much of our capital and have been unable to raise outside funds on terms acceptable to us.


Since inception in 1999, we have been funded principally from loans provided by Raymond Zimmerman, our principal shareholder and bank loans personally guaranteed by Mr. Zimmerman, and have not generally relied upon other external sources of financing.  Although Mr. Zimmerman is converting $14.6 million to equity, he still will be owed approximately $4.4 million and have ongoing personal guarantees of $6.0 million of bank loans and of property leases.  Mr. Zimmerman’s failure to continue these guarantees will cause the loans and leases to default and thus materially harm our financial position if we were unable to renegotiate acceptable terms.




7




We need new store openings or we will not achieve future growth.


Our operating results depend largely on our ability to open and operate new stores successfully and to manage a larger business profitably. Our strategy depends on our ability to secure financing to open and operate these stores. Any failure by us to:


identify suitable markets and sites for our new stores;

negotiate leases with acceptable terms;

achieve our expansion goals on a timely basis;

obtain acceptance in markets in which we currently have limited or no presence;

appropriately upgrade our financial and management information systems; and

control or manage operating expenses


could decrease our future operating results and hurt our ability to execute our business strategy. Some of these factors are beyond our control and we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve our goals.


We also cannot assure you that when we open new stores, we will improve our results of operations. A variety of factors, including store location, store size, rental terms, the level of store sales and the level of initial advertising influence if and when a new store becomes profitable. Assuming that our planned expansion occurs as anticipated, our store base will include a relatively high proportion of stores with relatively short operating histories. We cannot assure you that our new stores will achieve the sales per saleable square foot and store-level operating margins currently achieved at our existing stores. If our new stores on average fail to achieve these results, our planned expansion could produce a decrease in our overall sales per saleable square foot and store-level operating margins. Increases in the level of advertising and pre-opening expenses associated with the ope ning of new stores could also contribute to a decrease in our operating margins. Finally, the opening of new stores in existing markets may reduce retail sales of existing stores in those markets, negatively affecting comparable store sales.


We will need additional capital to implement our long term plans.


Although the proceeds of the minimum offering will be sufficient to fund our operating requirements for approximately one year, we will need additional capital to open up to seven new stores and if we are to implement our long-term expansion plans. It is also possible that we will be unable to obtain the additional funding when we need it. If we are unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, we could be forced to delay the progress of our new stores.


Cost increases could impact our ability to provide quality merchandise for 99 cent stuff.


Our ability to provide quality merchandise at the 99 cents price point is subject to certain economic factors, which are beyond our control, including inflation. Due to our inability to raise our prices, inflation or other cost increases could hurt our margins. Our methods to respond to ordinary price increases resulting from inflationary pressures is to adjust the number of items sold at for 99 cents and by changing our selection of merchandise. A sustained trend of significantly increased inflationary pressure could require us to abandon our single price point of 99 cents per item or to raise our price point, which could force us to change our strategy and change our business model.


All of our operations are in south Florida, leaving us vulnerable to events specific to this region.


All of our 99 Cent Stuff Stores are currently located in south Florida. The stores we intend to open through 2004 will also be in this region. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition largely depend upon trends in the south Florida economy. Although this region's economy has remained strong, this trend may not continue and retail spending could decline in the future. At times, natural disasters such as hurricanes and other events have disrupted the local economy. These events could also pose physical risks to our properties.

Because all of our stores rely on a single distribution center, any disruption could reduce our net sales.


We currently rely on a single distribution center in Miami, Florida. Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to this distribution center due to fire, hurricane or any other cause could damage a significant portion of our inventory and could materially impair both our ability to adequately stock our stores and our sales and profitability, particularly because much of our merchandise consists of closeouts and other irreplaceable products. If the security measures used at our distribution center do not prevent inventory theft, our gross margin may significantly decrease.


Our success depends upon the availability of closeout and special-situation merchandise and we may not be able to find and purchase merchandise in quantities necessary to accommodate our growth.


Our success depends in large part on our ability to locate and purchase quality closeout and special-situation merchandise at attractive prices. We cannot be certain that merchandise will continue to be available in the future. Further, we may not be able to find and purchase merchandise in quantities necessary to accommodate our growth. Additionally, our suppliers sometimes restrict the advertising, promotion and method of distribution of their merchandise. These restrictions in turn may make it more difficult for us to quickly sell these items from our inventory.


Although we believe our relationships with our suppliers are good, we do not have any written agreements with any supplier. As a result, we must continuously seek out buying opportunities from our existing suppliers and from new sources. We compete for these opportunities with other wholesalers and retailers, value, discount and deep-discount chains, mass merchandisers, food markets, drug chains, club stores and various privately-held companies and individuals. One of our suppliers provided approximately 25% of our total purchases in 2002. Although we do not depend on this or any other single supplier or group of suppliers, a disruption in the availability of merchandise at attractive prices could impair our business.


We rely heavily on Raymond Zimmerman and the loss of one or more members of our team will damage our operations.


Our success depends substantially on Raymond Zimmerman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We do not maintain key person life insurance on him. As we continue to grow, our success will depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled management personnel.


Our operating results may fluctuate and may be affected by seasonal buying patterns, comparable store sales and other factors.


Historically, our highest revenues and operating income have occurred during months with major holidays such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween, which affect our operating results. In addition to seasonality, many other factors may cause our results of operations to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. If we miscalculate the demand for our products generally or for our product mix during peak periods, our revenues could decline, resulting in excess inventory, which could harm our margins and cash flow. Some of these factors are beyond our control. These factors include:


the timing of new store openings;

the integration of new stores into our operations;

the level of advertising and pre-opening expenses associated with new stores;

general economic health of the value and deep-discount retail industries;

changes in the mix of products sold;

unexpected increases in shipping costs;

ability to successfully manage our inventory levels;

changes in our personnel;

fluctuations in the amount of consumer spending; and

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the growth of our business.

The right to use our current name may be challenged, which could cause us to change our name and disrupt our marketing program.


The trademarks we own and use in connection with our goods and services are not registered. There are several federally-registered trademarks containing “99 Cents” and the owners of these trademarks may challenge the use of our name and other marks which include “99 Cents”. If successfully challenged, we may be forced to change the name of our stores and our other marks, which would force us to develop a new name and market awareness.


We face strong competition for customers and to purchase inventory, which affects our profitability.


We compete in both the acquisition of inventory and sale of merchandise with


discount and deep-discount stores,

single price point merchandisers,

mass merchandisers,

food markets,

drug chains, and

club stores


In the future, new companies may also enter the value retail industry. Additionally, we currently face increasing competition for the purchase of quality closeout and other special-situation merchandise.


Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources and buying power than us. Our capability to compete will depend on many factors including our ability to successfully purchase and resell merchandise at lower prices than our competitors and the perceived value to consumers. We may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors. If we are unable to compete successfully, our operating results will suffer.


We face the risk of loss from inventory shrinkage.


The retail industry is subject to theft by customers and employees, and damage to goods in the course of operations. Significant inventory shrinkage in the future would increase our cost of goods sold and decrease our profitability.


Our information technology systems are vulnerable to damage that could harm our ability to manage our inventory systems.


Our success, in particular our ability to successfully manage inventory levels, largely depends upon the efficient operation of our computer hardware and software systems. We use management information systems to track inventory information at the store level, communicate customer information and aggregate daily sales information. These systems and our operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from:


hurricane, fire, flood and other natural disasters;

power loss, computer systems failures, internet and telecommunications or data network failure, operator negligence, improper operation by or supervision of employees, physical and electronic loss of data or security breaches, misappropriation and similar events; and

computer viruses.


Any failure that causes an interruption in our operations or a decrease in inventory tracking could result in reduced net sales.

Risks Related To This Offering


Our anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in control of our company, even if such change of control would be beneficial to our shareholders.


Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws as well as provisions of Florida law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders. These provisions include:


a board of directors that is classified such that only one-third of directors are elected each year;

authorizing the issuance of blank check preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;

limitations on the ability of shareholders to call special meetings of shareholders; and

establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by shareholders at shareholder meetings.


In addition, provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act restrict business combination transactions with parties that have not been approved by the board of directors. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without negotiation. These provisions may apply even if the transaction may be considered beneficial by some shareholders.


We are controlled by our primary shareholder, who will continue to control our outstanding stock after this offering. His interests may conflict with your interests.


Following this offering, Raymond Zimmerman and his family will beneficially own approximately 79% of our outstanding common stock if all units are sold and approximately 84% if the minimum offering is sold. For as long as Mr. Zimmerman and his family continue to own shares of common stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, he will be able to direct the election of all of the members of our board of directors and determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including matters involving mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or disposition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness, the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or other equity securities and the payment of dividends on common stock. Mr. Zimmerman will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control, and could take other a ctions that might be desirable to him but not to other shareholders. Mr. Zimmerman's interests may be different from the interests of the other shareholders. This could limit the voting and other rights of our other shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.


You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share of common stock.


The initial public offering price will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of the outstanding common stock. If you purchase shares of our common stock, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $5.80 if the maximum units are sold. Investors will likely experience additional dilution if we issue common stock in the future. As a result of this dilution, investors purchasing stock in this offering may receive significantly less than the full purchase price that they paid for the shares in the event of a liquidation.


Our stock price could fluctuate widely, which could affect your ability and the price at which you can sell your shares.


The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly due to many factors, including:


the depth of the market for our common stock;

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

variations in our operating results;



11




conditions or trends in our industry or in the industries of any of our significant suppliers;

additions or departures of key personnel; and

future sales of our common stock.


Our stock has not been actively traded on a public market.


Prior to this offering, our common stock traded on a limited basis. Therefore, we do not know if investor interest in our stock will be sufficient to create or sustain an active public trading market. If we are not able to develop an active public trading market for the shares, investors may have limited liquidity and may be forced to hold the shares for an indefinite period of time.


The price of our common stock after this offering may be lower than the offering price you pay and may be volatile.


Recently, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. If our common stock declines due to these fluctuations, we could be subject to securities class action litigation, similar to that which has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their common stock. Litigation could result in substantial costs and could divert our resources and senior management team's attention. This could harm our financial condition and operating results.


The public sale of our common stock by existing shareholders could adversely affect the price of our common stock.


Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon completion of this offering, we will have up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The 4,750,000 shares of common stock issued in the acquisition of 99 Cent Stuff LLC are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144. All of these shares will be eligible for sale in the public market commencing in September 2004.


Our management has broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering.


Our management has broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering. We cannot assure you that our management will apply these funds effectively, nor can we assure you that the net proceeds from this offering will be invested in a manner yielding a favorable return.


This is the first transaction in which Keating Investments has acted as underwriter.


The underwriter’s lack of experience may affect its ability to complete this offering and negatively impact the trading market for the units.

USE OF PROCEEDS


We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of our minimum offering amount will be $2,500,000 and that our net proceeds from the sale of our maximum offering amount will be $4,240,000.  The following table shows how we intend to use the proceeds of the offering if we sell only the minimum of 600,000 units and if we sell the full 1,000,000 units:

We expect to open four stores if the minimum is raised and seven stores if the maximum is raised. The capital investment for each new store ranges from $400,000 to $650,000, depending on landlord allowances and existing improvements, including approximately $250,000 required for inventory. We also spend approximately $30,000 for pre-opening expenses. We intend to open up to seven stores by the end of 2004 if we receive the maximum offering.


We intend to purchase additional inventory for our stores as well as have funds available to acquire additional inventory as we find purchasing opportunities made available from time to time.


We will use the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital and payment of outstanding payables. No proceeds will be used to repay any indebtedness to Raymond Zimmerman. We will have the right to reallocate the proceeds within the above categories if we believe that we need additional inventory or have desirable locations to open additional stores. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term investment grade or money market securities.


DIVIDEND POLICY


We intend to retain all our earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future change in our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on any applicable contractual restrictions on us contained in our financing credit facilities and other agreements, our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements and other factors considered relevant by our board of directors.




14




DILUTION


If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our common stock, giving no effect to the warrants, and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. We calculate pro forma net book value per share by calculating the total assets less total liabilities, and dividing it by the number of outstanding shares of common stock as if the merger had occurred on June 30, 2003.


After giving effect to this offering at an estimated public offering price of $5.00 per share, less estimated expenses, there will be an immediate increase in the pro forma as adjusted net book value per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 2003:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General


99 Cent Stuff is a Florida-based single-priced deep-discount retailer of primarily, consumable general merchandise. Our stores offer a wide assortment of regularly available consumer goods as well as a broad variety of quality, closeout merchandise. Our product offerings are comprised of brand name merchandise and closeouts merchandise that may be available for reorder. Every product is sold for 99 cents or less. We provide our customers value on their everyday household needs and a positive shopping experience in customer-service-oriented stores, which are attractively merchandised, brightly lit and well maintained. We believe that our name-brand focus, along with a product mix emphasizing value-priced food and beverage and other everyday household items, increases the frequency of consumer visits and impulse purchases and reduces some of our exposure to seasonality and economic cycle s. We believe that our format appeals to value-conscious customers in all socio-economic groups and results in a high volume of sales.


We operate 11 retail stores in south Florida. We opened our first three stores in 1999, five stores in 2000, two stores in 2001 and one in 2002. In early 2003 we closed one store and opened a new one in mid-2003. In the past, as part of our strategy to expand retail operations, we have opened new stores in close proximity to existing stores so that would be more efficient in distribution, marketing and branding. We have built corporate and warehouse support staff and systems that we believe can handle our planned expansion. As a result of our start-up costs, operating costs and these expenses, we have recorded losses since inception.


Our customers use cash, checks and third-party credit and debit cards to purchase our products. We do not issue private credit cards or make use of complicated financing arrangements.


Our auditors report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 contains a going-concern explanatory paragraph. For the year ended December 31, 2002, 99 Cent Stuff incurred net losses of $5.3 million, and had a shareholders’ deficit of $6.9 million, at December 31, 2002. These losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that financing will be available from Raymond Zimmerman to continue operations until this offering is completed. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.


99 Cent Stuff only operates in one business segment, which is retail operations.


The key to achieving profitability in the value business is to be able to rapidly purchase goods and be able to pay within terms in order to obtain the lowest prices. Due to our lack of operating cash, we have not been able to purchase inventory in the most efficient fashion and we have incurred lower margins than some of our competitors. This has also affected our revenues. We need the proceeds of this offering so that we can effectively purchase inventory and increase our gross margins to satisfactory levels.


Our success depends in large part on our ability to locate and purchase quality closeout and special-situation merchandise at attractive prices. We must continuously seek out buying opportunities from our existing suppliers and from new sources. We compete for these opportunities with other wholesalers and retailers, value, discount and deep-discount chains, mass merchandisers, food markets, drug chains, club stores and various privately-held companies and individuals.


Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates


The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis and are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, fixed asset lives, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments



18




about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 99 Cent Stuff believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.


Revenue recognition: Revenue is recognized at the point of sale.


Inventory: Our accounting for inventory and cost of goods sold requires us to estimate the value of such assets and cost of such assets sold and to continually assess whether such assets are impaired and the cost of goods sold is presented fairly. We believe that at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 that no inventory is impaired.

Results Of Operations


Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared To Six Months Ended June 30, 2002


Net Sales. Net Sales increased $0.4 million, or 2.3%, from $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.  Same stores net sales, for stores open all of both periods, increased $1.1 million in the 2003 period, or 6.8%, compared to the prior year.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to increased volume in produce. During the 2003 period, approximately 25% of our sales were of produce, which has a lower margin that other consumables but generally have a much higher turnover.


Gross profit. Gross profit, which consists of total sales less cost of sales, increased approximately $0.4 million, or 8.4%, from $4.7 million in the 2002 period to $5.1 million in the 2003 period. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to higher sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 1.5% from 25.2% in 2002 to 26.7% in 2003 and was primarily attributable to a change in the mix of products sold.


Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, which include operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, were $6.6 million in both the 2002 and 2003 period.  Changes within the category include decreased payroll and related costs of $0.5 million, which were offset by increases in insurance, professional fees and miscellaneous other expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased 0.7% from 34.9% in 2002 to 34.2% in 2003.


Operating loss. Operating loss decreased $0.4 million, or 21.3%, from $1.8 million in the 2002 period to $1.4 million in the 2003 period.  As a percentage of net sales, operating loss decreased 2.6% from 9.8% in 2002 to 7.2% in 2003 and is primarily attributable to increased net sales and gross profit and decreased SG&A expenses.


Other (income) expense.  Interest expense increased $0.1 million, or 16.7%, from $0.7 million in the 2002 period to $0.8 million in the 2003 period.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased borrowings, partially offset by lower interest rates.  As a percentage of net sales, interest expense increased 0.4% from 3.5% in 2002 to 3.9% in 2003. 99 Cent Stuff had indebtedness including notes payable from its principal member of $14.6 million, an outstanding line of credit of $5.09 million and accounts payable, related party of $4.4 million as of June 30, 2003 and had outstanding indebtedness including notes payable from its principal member of $14.6 million, $3.0 million under the line of credit and accounts payable, related party of $2.1 million as of June 30, 2002.


Net loss. As a result of the items discussed above, net loss decreased $0.3 million, or 11.7%, from $2.5 million in the 2002 period to $2.2 million in the 2003 period. As a percentage of net sales, net loss decreased 1.8% from 13.2% in 2002 to 11.4% in 2003.


Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2001


Net Sales.  Net Sales increased $2.8 million, or 7.7%, from $35.9 million in 2001 to $38.7 million in 2002.  The increase was primarily attributable to the effect of one new store opened in 2002 and the full year effect of one store opened in 2001. Same store net sales, for stores open all of both years, decreased $0.1 million in 2002, or 0.4%, vs. a year ago.  The decrease in same store net sales was primarily due to a legal action that forced us to limit the sales of grocery items in one of our stores.



19




Gross Profit.  Gross Profit increased $0.4 million, or 3.6%, from $9.6 million in 2001 to $10.0 million in 2002. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to higher sales volume.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 1.0% from 26.8% in 2001 to 25.8% in 2002 and was primarily attributable to a change in the mix of products sold.


Selling, General and Administrative.  SG&A decreased $0.5 million, or 3.6%, from $14.5 million in 2001 to $14.0 million in 2002.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll and related costs of $0.6 million and insurance of $0.3 million, partially offset by increase in rent of $0.3 million. SG&A for 2002 included $174,518 of an advance to John Isaac, Jr., who was the head of stores, which was forgiven when his employment terminated and included as compensation. There were no material increases or decreases in any other category.  As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased 4.3% from 40.6% in 2001 to 36.3% in 2002.


Operating Loss.  Operating loss decreased $0.8 million, or 17.7%, from $4.9 million in 2002 to $4.1 million in 2002.  As a percentage of net sales, operating loss decreased 3.2% from 13.7% in 2001 to 10.5% in 2002 and was primarily attributable to increased net sales and gross profit and decreased SG&A expenses.


Other (Income) Expense.  Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 16.6%, from $1.6 million in 2001 to $1.3 million in 2002.  The decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates in 2002, partially offset by increased borrowings.  As a percentage of net sales, interest expense decreased 1.0% from 4.5% in 2001 to 3.5% in 2002.


Net Loss.  Net loss decreased $1.2 million, or 17.9%, from $6.5 million in 2001 to $5.3 million in 2002 and was primarily attributable to the items discussed above.  As a percentage of net sales, net loss decreased 4.3 % from 18.1% in 2001 to 13.8% in 2002.


Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2000


Sales. Total sales increased $21.7 million, or 152.4%, from $14.2 million in 2000 to $35.9 million in 2001. The increase in 99 Cent Stuff stores sales was attributed to the net effect of two new stores opened in 2001 and the full year effect of five stores opened in 2000. Same store sales, for stores open for all of both yeares, decreased 1.6% from 2000 to 2001. This decrease was primarily attributed to opening new stores near the existing startup stores and the effect of our lower working capital and inventory for sale.


Gross profit. Gross profit increased approximately $6.0 million, or 163.9%, from $3.6 million in 2000 to $9.6 million in 2001. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to higher sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 26.8% in 2001 versus 25.7% in 2000. This 1.1% increase resulted from reduced product cost as we increased purchasing volumes.


Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses, increased $6.3 million, or 76.0%, from $8.3 million in 2000 to $14.6 million in 2001. The increase for 2001 compared to 2000 was due to year 2001 new stores and the full year effect of the new stores opened in 2000. SG&A decreased as a percentage of net sales from 58.2% in 2000 to 40.6% in 2001 as corporate and warehouse costs did not increase proportionately to the increase in sales. The increase in SG&A is due to two new stores opened in 2001 and an additional five stores open for a portion of 2000 and the full year in 2001 and to the additional corporate and warehouse personnel to support additional stores. Management and staff positions were added in information systems, finance, distribution, and human resources and buying. In addition, SG&A increased because of the costs ass ociated with the delay in opening new stores and the costs of warehousing the merchandise until the stores opened.


Operating loss. Operating loss increased $0.3 million, or 6.6%, from $4.6 million in 2000 to $4.9 million in 2001. Operating loss decreased as a percentage of net sales was 32.5% in 2000 to 13.7% in 2001 primarily due to the increase in the sales discussed above.


Other (income) expense. Interest expense was $0.7 million in 2000 and $1.6 million in 2001. 99 Cent Stuff had indebtedness including notes payable from its principal member of $10.9 million and $14.6 million and an outstanding line of credit of $1.2 million and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.



20




Net loss. As a result of the items discussed above, net loss increased $1.2 million, or 23.5%, from $5.3 million in 2000 to $6.5 million in 2001. Net loss as a percentage of sales was 37.1% in 2000 and 18.1% in 2001.


Liquidity And Capital Resources


Since inception on June 28, 1999, we have been funded principally from loans provided by Raymond Zimmerman, our principal shareholder and bank loans personally guaranteed by Mr. Zimmerman, and have not generally relied upon other external sources of financing. Virtually all of our fixed assets, including fixtures and equipment, have been purchased using advances made to 99 Cent Stuff from Mr. Zimmerman that are shown in the balance sheet in the form of a related party notes payable and accounts payable, related party. Our capital requirements result primarily from purchases of inventory, expenses related to new store openings and working capital requirements for new and existing stores. We take advantage of closeout and other special-situation opportunities, which frequently result in volume purchases requirements, and as a consequence, our cash requirements are not constant or pr edictable during the year and can be affected by the timing and size of our purchases.


Our negative working capital as of June 30, 2003 was due to


$5.8 million of property and equipment acquired,

cash shortfall due to operating losses, and

increases in accounts payable due to operating losses.


Net cash used by operations was $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 and $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Net cash used by operations during the 2003 period included a net loss of $2.2 million, a decrease in inventories of $0.1 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $0.3 million. Net cash used by operations was $2.1 million in 2002 and $3.4 million in 2001. Net cash used by operations during 2002 included a net loss of $5.3 million, an increase in inventories of $1.2 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $0.8 million. Net cash used by operations during 2001 included a net loss of $6.5 million, an increase in inventories of $0.9 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $0.2 million.


Net cash used in investing activities for purchases of property and equipment was $0.8 million in 2001, $0.3 million in 2002 and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to $1.8 of borrowings under a line of credit offset by decreases in cash overdrafts of $.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.2 million in 2001 and $2.4 million in 2002. Net cash provided by financing activities reflects increases in notes payable to a related party in the amount of $2.3 million in 2001. Also, net cash provided by financing activities reflects increases in borrowings under a line of credit personally guaranteed by Mr. Zimmerman in the amount of $1.7 million during 2001 and $300,000 in 2002.  In addition, in 2002 accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party increased by $2.0 million, compared to $0.4 million in 2001, as funds advanced and other monies owed to Mr. Zimmerman in excess of $14.6 million were recorded as account s payable.


At June 30, 2003, Mr. Zimmerman has advanced an aggregate of $18.3 million, of which $14.6 million is carried on the balance sheet as notes payable, related party and $3.7 million as accounts payable. The notes payable was $14.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, which included accrued interest of $2.1 million at December 31, 2001. Interest is being accrued at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2%. The notes payable of $14.6 million was converted into 4,750,000 shares of common stock as part of the merger with iVideonow.


Mr. Zimmerman has personally guaranteed our aggregate $6.0 million lines of credit with Bank of America. As a result of these guarantees, the interest rate on these lines has been prime minus 1%, which we believe would be several points higher without the guarantee. Mr. Zimmerman has also guaranteed some of our property leases. The lease guarantees will terminate when our shareholders' equity is at least $3 million. We have been accruing fees of 2% of the lines of credit and the guaranteed property leases. The accrued fees of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2003 have been included in the accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party.



21




In addition, Mr. Zimmerman has advanced and interest has been accrued on the notes payable of approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 2003 that has been carried as accounts payable, related party, of which $3.7 million was outstanding at December 31, 2002 and $4.4 million at June 30, 2003. These funds were used for equipment purchases, interest accrued on the unpaid balances and working capital. These amounts and all other amounts that may be accrued or advanced prior to the completion of this offering are being converted into a convertible note and not into common stock. This note will be due two years from the date of this prospectus and bear interest at the prime rate. The note will be convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at a conversion price equal to the public offering price per share, subject to adjustment. We will have the right to prepay the note at any tim e.


In addition to the commitments described above, our future capital expenditures will depend primarily on the number and timing of new stores we open. We have identified 10 locations that we will target for new stores in new and existing markets. We plan to open between four and  seven additional new stores by the end of 2004 depending on the proceeds of this offering. Net capital expenditures for a new store are expected to average approximately $150,000 to $300,000, depending on landlord allowances and existing improvements. The average inventory investment for a new store is approximately $250,000. Pre-opening expenses, such as marketing, salaries, supplies and utilities, are expected to average approximately $30,000 per new store and are expensed as incurred. To date, we have not entered into any type of capital or operating leases for the new store build-out but anticipate doi ng so in the future to leverage our resources.


In connection with store openings, we have projected our capital expenditure needs in the second half of 2003 to be approximately $0.3 million and in 2004 to be approximately $1.2 million.

We are committed under noncancelable operating leases for all store and office spaces, expiring at various dates through 2015. These leases generally provide minimum rent plus payments for real estate taxes and operating expenses, subject to escalations, and some of them also require us to pay contingent rent based on sales. As of June 30, 2003, our lease payment obligations under these leases totaled $0.9 million for 2003, and an aggregate of $8.3 million through 2015. We do not have any capital leases.


We expect to spend significant additional capital primarily for opening new stores, reducing accounts payable and increasing our inventory. We believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our improvements in our expected operating results, will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. However, it is possible that we may be required to raise additional financing in some future period through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. We may not be able to raise additional funds when needed, or on acceptable terms, or at all. Also, any additional equity financings may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants.


Seasonality And Quarterly Fluctuations


99 Cent Stuff has historically experienced some seasonal fluctuation in our net sales, operating expenses and net loss. The highest sales periods are the Christmas and Halloween seasons, although the Christmas season does not increase as much as many other retailers because a high proportion of our products are for every day use and not gifts. A greater amount of our net sales and operating income is generally realized during the fourth quarter. Quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of other factors, including the timing of certain holidays, such as Easter and the timing of new store openings and the merchandise mix.



22




Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks


We are subject to risks resulting from interest rate fluctuations since interest on our borrowings under the bank facility are based on variable rates. If the prime rate were to increase 1.0% in 2003 as compared to the rate at June 30, 2003, our interest expense for 2004 would increase $0.1 million based on the outstanding balance at June 30, 2003. We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in hedging activities.


New Authoritative Pronouncements


In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The alternative methods of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The disclosure provision of SFAS No. 148 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. 99 Cent Stuff follows APB 25 in accounti ng for its employee stock options. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.


SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” was issued in April 2003 and amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 149 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective immediately for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. However, the provisions of SFAS No. 150 will be applied to mandatorily redeemable instruments of nonpublic companies in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Early adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not permitted. Application of this standard to pre-existing instruments will be recognized as a cumul ative effect of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of this statement require that any financial instruments that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date or upon an event certain to occur be classified as liabilities. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

BUSINESS


Overview


99 Cent Stuff is a Florida-based single-priced value retailer of primarily name-brand, consumable merchandise. Our stores offer a wide assortment of regularly available consumer goods as well as a broad variety of first-quality, closeout merchandise. Every product is sold at 99 cents, including extra value savings of two or three items for 99 cents. We feature consumer staples such as produce and bread to encourage our customers to visit our stores frequently. We believe that our strategy of value cultivates customers as long-term clients of our stores by virtue of our assortment of consistently replenishable merchandise, branded goods, 99 cent pricing and convenient accessible locations. The value concept also increases the frequency of consumer visits and impulse purchases and reduces our exposure to seasonality and economic cycles. By offering merchandise in an attractive, convenien t and familiar environment, we believe that our stores appeal to a wide demographic of customers.


We opened our first store in 1999 and operate 11 retail stores in south Florida. Our 99 Cent Stuff stores are located in neighborhood shopping centers where consumers are more likely to do their regular household shopping. These stores have an average size of approximately 17,000 saleable square feet and in 2002 average net sales per store was $3.7 million for stores open the full year. In 2002, our average sale per customer was $9.43.


99 Cent Stuff Stores' management team has many years of retail experience including in the value merchandise sector. Our chairman Raymond Zimmerman and president was chief executive of Service Merchandise Company, a multi-billion dollar retail chain. All of our other senior management also has extensive retail experience.


Industry Background


Value retail is generally distinguished from other retail formats by the purchase of closeout and other special-situation merchandise at prices substantially below original wholesale cost, and the subsequent sale of this merchandise at prices significantly below regular retail. As a result, stores offer a continually changing selection of brands and products. According to a 2002 research report by Merrill Lynch, over the last five years, this segment has grown at roughly twice the pace of the remainder of the retail industry and is one of the fastest growing retail sectors in the United States. The recent economic downturn and difficult consumer environment has not materially impacted this segment as demonstrated by the financial results of other companies in this sector.


The sale of closeout or special-situation merchandise developed in response to the need of manufacturers, wholesalers and others to distribute merchandise outside their normal channels. This merchandise becomes available for a variety of reasons, including


a manufacturer's over-production for seasonal or other reasons,

discontinuance due to a change in style, color, size or packaging,

the inability of a manufacturer or wholesaler to move merchandise effectively through regular channels, and

the financial needs of the manufacturer.


Many value retailers also sell merchandise that can be purchased from a manufacturer or wholesaler on a regular basis. Although this merchandise is usually purchased at less than the original wholesale cost and sold below normal retail cost, the discount, if any, however, is generally less than with closeout merchandise. Value retailers sell regularly available merchandise to ensure a degree of consistency in their product offerings and to establish themselves with customers as a reliable source of basic goods.


The critical factor that drives success in the deep discount industry is effective inventory purchasing and management. Purchasing is based on the ability to make timely payment and to immediately take delivery of merchandise.

Our Strategy


Our goal is to operate stores providing continuous value to customers on a wide variety of merchandise. We strive to exceed our customers' expectations of the range and quality of name-brand consumables that can be purchased for 99 cents. Our strategies to achieve this goal include the following:


Emphasize “Name-Brands”. We believe that customers visit our stores in search of name-brand consumable merchandise that can be purchased for 99 cents. During 2002, we purchased from more than 500 suppliers, including merchandise with the brand names Pepsi, General Mills, Colgate-Palmolive, Eveready Battery, Gerber Products, Hershey Foods, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft General Foods, Lever Brothers, Mattel, Nabisco, Nestle, Pillsbury, Procter & Gamble, Revlon and SmithKline Beecham.


Carry A Wide Selection Of Regularly Available Merchandise. Our retail stores offer consumer items in many staple product categories, including food, beverages, health and beauty aids, household products, housewares, hardware, stationary and party goods, seasonal goods, baby products and toys, giftware, pet products and clothing. To ensure that our merchandise offering is complete, we also offer non-name brand items or private label items from other retailers. By consistently offering a wide selection of consumable items, we encourage customers to frequently visit our stores for their everyday household needs.


Effective Store Layout. Our stores are designed for visual appeal and functionality and are attractively merchandised, brightly lit and well-maintained. The stores are organized in a “supermarket” format with items in the same category grouped together. Our prototype stores average 17,000 saleable square feet, which is significantly larger than most of our competitors. This size store allows us to more effectively display a wide assortment of merchandise, carry deep stock positions and provide customers with a more inviting and convenient environment that encourages customers to shop longer and buy more. Our stores feature central checkout lanes, scanning at point of sale and shopping carts.


Strong Supplier Relationships. Our goal is to develop a reputation as a reliable purchaser of name-brand, quality merchandise at discount prices. We strive to achieve this goal using our experienced buying staff to make immediate buying decisions and take timely possession of merchandise, pay promptly, honor all issued purchase orders and purchase goods close to a target season or out of season. We have been able to improve our supplier relationships by quickly selling name-brand merchandise without advertising.


Careful Purchasing To Increase Margins. We strive to maintain a lean operating environment focused on increasing operating margins. To reach this goal, we purchase merchandise at substantially discounted prices as a result of our buyers' knowledge, experience and negotiating skills and ability to select desirable merchandise.


Expansion Strategy


The Florida market is rapidly growing and is the fourth most populous state, with over 16 million residents or nearly 6% of the nation's population. All of the current stores are in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, which include Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. These densely populated counties have experienced high growth and are expected to continue to grow in the future. We opened a new store in June 2003 and plan to open two additional stores in fall 2003. We currently plan to open five stores in 2004. We believe that we could open up to 25 additional locations in south Florida in the next few years. By continuing to focus our store openings in south Florida for the immediate future, we can leverage our brand awareness and take advantage of our existing warehouse and distribution facility and other management and operating efficiencies.


We believe that our value concept is easily replicated in most other populated areas of Florida and the southeastern U.S. Other areas of Florida are also experiencing explosive growth and we are developing plans to open up in other major metropolitan areas in Florida such as the Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Naples/Fort Myers areas.


As a result of our expansion plans, we developed a warehouse and information systems for a substantially larger chain. Management believes that the operating infrastructure we have in place today is capable of integrating a significant number of new stores with minimal increase in corporate, warehouse and



25




other infrastructure expenses. Virtually all of our senior management executives have held similar positions at retail chains of substantially greater size. We believe that our buying teams have sufficient levels of experience to support our expected new store growth.


Target Customers


We target value-conscious consumers from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds with a diverse ethnic mix and other demographic characteristics. We have placed our stores in areas where there are at least 50,000 to 100,000 residents within a three-mile radius and where most households have income ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. While most of our targeted customers are low middle to middle income workers, higher income customers are also attracted by the everyday values. The ages of our customers are distributed over the full spectrum of ages. We believe that our stores have a relatively small shopping radius, which allows us to concentrate multiple stores in a single market.


Our Stores


Our stores offer customers a wide assortment of regularly available consumer goods as well as a broad variety of quality, closeout merchandise, all at discounted prices. All merchandise sold in our stores sells for 99 cents per item or multiple units for 99 cents.

We believe that the appeal of our 99 Cent Stuff stores arises from the perceived value in selling products that generally retail elsewhere from $1.19 to $9.99, for only 99 cents per item or group of items. Each store typically carries over 6,000 to 8,000 different stock keeping units or SKUs. The merchandise sold in the stores primarily consists of a wide variety of basic consumer items, including:


                            

Arts and crafts supplies

                           

Frozen foods

 

Bakery products

 

Gifts

 

Beverages

 

Glassware

 

Books

 

Grocery

 

Candy and snacks

 

Health and beauty aids

 

Canned goods

 

Home hardware and automotive

 

Cereals and crackers

 

Household/kitchen plastic products

 

Cleaning supplies

 

Office and School Supplies

 

Costume jewelry

 

Paper products

 

Domestics

 

Fresh produce and flowers

 

Ethnic foods

 

Pet food and supplies

   

Seasonal goods


Approximately 70% of our products sold are food and candy, health and beauty aids, household basics and seasonal goods.

Although our stores regularly carry a variety of basic household consumer items, unlike typical discount retail stores, we do not continuously stock complete lines of merchandise. Although some of the merchandise we purchase is available for reorder, the mix of brands and products frequently changes, depending upon the availability of merchandise at suitable prices. In some of the stores we offer additional ethnic food products that are targeted to the store's local customer base. To date, we have found that there is an adequate supply of name brand closeouts and re-orderable merchandise available to purchase at attractive prices. We believe that continuously changing specific name-brands found in stores from one week to the next encourages impulse and larger volume purchases and results in customers shopping more frequently. Unlike many discount retailers, we rarely impose a limit on the quantity of specific items that may be purchased by a single consumer.


Store Characteristics. All 11 of our 99 Cent Stuff Stores are located in south Florida. Our stores average 17,000 saleable square feet. We currently target new store locations of 15,000 to 20,000 saleable square feet. The larger stores allow us to more effectively display a wider assortment of merchandise, carry deeper stock positions and provide customers with a more inviting and convenient environment that encourages customers to shop longer and buy more.


The stores are located in neighborhood shopping centers where consumers are more likely to do their regular household shopping. We seek locations where there is another anchor tenant such as a discount superstore or supermarket due to the traffic at that location. The stores are located primarily in more densely populated, demographically diverse neighborhoods. Four of the stores are in Miami-Dade County, four are in Palm Beach County and three are in Broward County.


Our stores are attractively merchandised, brightly lit, well-maintained, “destination” locations. The layout of each of the stores is customized to the size and configuration of the individual location and the desire to focus on particular product lines from time to time. The interior of each store is, however, designed to reflect a uniform format, like a typical supermarket, featuring traditional merchandise display techniques, bright lighting, lower shelving height that allows unobstructed visibility throughout the store, distinctive color scheme, interior and exterior signage and customized check-out counters and price tags. Merchandising displays are maintained throughout the day, change frequently and often incorporate seasonal themes. We believe that due to the continuously changing brand-names and layout, the typical customer tends to shop the whole store.


Customer purchases are by cash, credit and debit cards or check. The stores do not currently accept manufacturers' coupons and we are adding  food cards on a store by store basis. The stores are generally open 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. every day.


Store Management. Typically a store is staffed with a manager and an assistant manager. We currently employ two district managers responsible for store operations. In the future, each district manager will be responsible for approximately ten stores. The store managers report to the district manager and the district managers report to Raymond Zimmerman. District managers visit each store at least twice a week and focus on the implementation of policies, operations and merchandising philosophy. The district manager also helps train store management and assist store management with scheduling.


Advertising/Promotion. To date, we have done limited advertising. Initial awareness of new store openings is created using local newspaper “grand opening” ads and pre-opening handout flyers. For future store openings, we plan to use a grand opening promotional campaign that will include distribution of an advertising flyer and possibly radio and television spots. Our stores feature bright colorful signing to grab customers' attention and emphasize everyday values. We also use in-store coupons to entice customers to purchase multiple items and to return for future purchases of the same item.


New Store Costs. The total cost of a new store ranges from approximately $400,000 to $650,000. The capital investment for each new store ranges from $150,000 to $300,000, depending on landlord allowances and existing improvements, and a least $250,000 required for opening inventory. We also spend approximately $30,000 for pre-opening expenses. To date, we have not financed any of the capital expenditures through third parties but may do so in the future in order to leverage our resources.

Purchasing


Our purchasing department staff consists of four buyers. Substantially all merchandise buying decisions are made at headquarters. We believe a primary factor contributing to our success will be our ability to identify and take advantage of opportunities to purchase merchandise with high customer interest at lower than regular wholesale prices. We purchase most of our merchandise from wholesalers, manufacturers' representatives, importers, barter companies, auctions, professional finders and other retailers. All of our purchases are for cash. Over time, we expect that our purchases directly from the manufacturer will increase substantially to up to 50% of our purchases. We continually seek to develop new sources of merchandise primarily by attending industry trade shows, and through advertising, marketing brochures and referrals. Our buyers also regularly travel to New York, Los Angeles , Chicago and Toronto to source identify, inspect and purchase new merchandise.


We do not have any contracts for the purchase of merchandise and we continuously seek out buying opportunities from both existing suppliers and new sources. Other than our produce supplier, which represented approximately 25% of our total purchases due to the high turnover of inventory, no single supplier accounted for more than 5% of total purchases in 2002. During 2002, we purchased from more than 500 suppliers, including merchandise with the Pepsi, General Mills, Colgate-Palmolive, Dial, Eveready Battery, General Electric, Gerber Products, Gillette, Hershey Foods, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft General Foods, Lever Brothers, Mattel, Nabisco, Nestle, Pillsbury, Procter & Gamble, Revlon and SmithKline Beecham brand names. Some purchases are directly from the manufacturer and some are from suppliers and distributors.


Approximately half of the merchandise we purchased is re-orderable and the remainder was closeout or special-situation merchandise. Our buyers search continuously for closeout opportunities and quality re-orderable merchandise. Our experience and expertise in buying merchandise has enabled us to develop relationships with many manufacturers that offer some or all of their closeout and special-situation merchandise to us prior to attempting to sell it through other channels because it can be moved quickly through our stores. Our relationships with many manufacturers and distributors, along with our ability to purchase in large volumes, also enables us to purchase re-orderable name-brand goods at discounted wholesale prices. We believe that our relationship with suppliers is further enhanced by our ability to minimize channel conflict for the manufacturer by quickly selling name-brand me rchandise without, if requested by the supplier, advertising the item.


We believe that our relationships have been impaired from time to time by our cash flow problems, which have hurt our ability to make purchases on a timely basis. A portion of the proceeds of this offering will be used to improve our purchasing power, which should improve our supplier relationships by increasing our ability to pay on the negotiated terms.


Warehousing And Distribution


We lease a 35,234 square foot, single level warehouse and distribution facility in Miami, Florida. This site is conveniently located near freeway, rail systems and ports. The distribution facility has 14 dock doors available for receiving. Most of our merchandise is shipped directly from manufacturers and other suppliers to this facility and the remainder is delivered directly to our stores. We contract with local shippers to deliver merchandise to our stores from the warehouse. Deliveries are made from our distribution center to each store two to five times a week, depending on need. Most merchandise is automatically replenished to our stores using a computerized stock distribution model that orders new merchandise for delivery based on recent sales. Store managers are generally required to order certain types of merchandise on a weekly basis. The size of the distribution center allow s storage of bulk one-time closeout purchases and seasonal or holiday items without incurring additional costs. We believe that the current warehouse and distribution facility will be able to support distribution to approximately 20 total stores in south Florida.


Inventory Management And Information Systems


Our inventory management system records transactions by SKU from the receipt of goods at the warehouse through the shipment to the stores. Most goods have UPC barcodes to record sales allowing our point of sale or POS system to track the merchandise. Tracking by UPC allows us to manage and track sales



28




by SKU, vendor and department. This allows us to identify sales trends early and to attempt to purchase additional inventory of fast-moving items. It also identifies slow-moving inventory on a timely basis so that we can develop orderly programs to sell any slow-moving inventory in the ordinary course of business or to cut back on future purchases of these items.


Our information technology is based on SBT Pro Series system. We have a custom-designed POS system with a simple and efficient interface very specific to the 99 cents price point. Checkout registers are fully integrated into the POS system. The warehouse uses the SBT Purchase Order and Inventory Control modules.


We intend to upgrade our inventory management technology to better manage our inventories for growth beyond 20 stores. The new systems implemented in this project will provide us with valuable sales information to assist our buyers and improve merchandise allocation to our stores. Controlling our inventory levels will result in more efficient distribution and store operations.


Competition


We do not face direct competition for our single-priced value concept in our south Florida market at this time. However, we do face competition in both the acquisition of inventory and sale of merchandise from other value discount stores, traditional retail stores, grocery stores and mass merchandisers. Similar concepts exist in other regional markets, such as


99 Cents Only Stores (NYSE: NDN), located primarily in California, Arizona and Nevada;

Dollar Tree (Nasdaq: DLTR), Family Dollar (NYSE: FDO) and Dollar General (NYSE: DG) located nationally including Florida; and

over 4,000 small retailers


We believe that our concept is most similar to 99 Cents Only. Family Dollar and Dollar General offer multi-priced merchandise at prices of up to $30 and generally both operate smaller stores in urban locations catering to lower income customers. Dollar Tree also offers less closeout merchandise than our stores.


Industry competitors also include a large number of privately held companies and individuals. There is increasing competition with other wholesalers and retailers, including other value retailers, for the purchase of quality closeout and other special-situation merchandise. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources and buying power than us. Our ability to compete will depend on many factors including the success of our purchase and resale of such merchandise at lower prices than the competition. We may face intense competition in the future from new entrants in the value retail industry, among others, that could take away our customers, which could hurt our revenues.


Trademarks And Service Marks


The trademarks we own and use in connection with our goods and services are not registered. There are several federally-registered trademarks containing “99 Cents” and the owners of these trademarks may challenge the use of our name and other marks which include “99 Cent”. If challenged, we may be forced to change the name of our stores and our other marks. We cannot assure you that we will have the right to use our current name and other marks in the future. Management believes that our current name and other trademarks have name recognition value in our market but are not critical elements of our merchandising strategy. We have applied for trademarks for some of our names but cannot assure you that they will be granted.




29




Properties


All of our stores are leased. We typically seek leases with an initial five-year to ten-year term and with one or more five-year options. We identify potential sites through a network of contacts within the brokerage and real estate communities. We expect that many of our new sites will be former big box retailers or grocery stores. For some of the sites we have taken space that exceeds our needs due to a desirable location or a favorable rent arrangement. The following table describes the location and size of our properties.

The initial terms of the leases expire from 2004 to 2015 and the base rent varies from $2.75 to $9.00 per square foot. Most of the leases have renewal options. Some of our leases are currently guaranteed by Raymond Zimmerman, our chairman and principal shareholder. Mr. Zimmerman is paid a fee equal to 2% of the amounts guaranteed.


At our Boca Raton corporate office we have our administrative, purchasing, finance and information technology departments.


Legal Proceedings


Winn-Dixie Stores v. 99 Cent Stuff--Trail Plaza LLC and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Dade County, Florida). In June 2000, Winn-Dixie Stores filed for an injunction seeking to limit the sale of grocery items to 500 square feet in the Miami Lakes store. No damages were sought. As a result of an injunction and other motions granted in 2002, we must limit the sales of grocery items to 500 linear feet. This restriction has negatively impacted the sales and profitability of this store. In 2003 we were found in contempt of the injunction and Winn Dixie is seeking damages and payment of legal fees. We believe that no damages are due and are contesting the action. We are considering moving the store.


We are a subtenant for our Deerfield location. In 2002 we received oral notice from our sublandlord that it intended to stop paying the rent to the landlord. To our knowledge, the sublandlord is current on the rent to the landlord. We have an arrangement with the landlord in which the landlord agreed to take an assignment of the sublease so that we could continue to occupy the space, although the rent may increase. If so, we intend to pursue our rights against our sublandlord.


We are not currently a party to any other legal actions that if determined adversely that would materially affect us.


Employees


At June 30, 2003, we had 349 employees of whom 316 were in our retail operations, 17 in our warehouse and distribution facility and 16 in our corporate offices. None of our employees is party to a collective bargaining agreement. We consider relations with our employees to be good. We offer certain benefits, including health insurance, to our full time employees.

Employment Agreements And Termination Of Employment And Change In Control Arrangements.


There are not currently any employment agreements with our executive officers.


Stock Option Grants


No options were granted to the executive officers named above in 2002 and at December 31, 2002 no stock options were outstanding.


2003 Equity Incentive Plan


Our board of directors and shareholders have adopted the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2003 Plan, to authorize 250,000 options to purchase shares of common stock.


Plan Description. The purpose of the 2003 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain qualified and competent persons as employees, directors and consultants, upon whose efforts and judgment our success is largely dependent, through the encouragement of stock ownership. The 2003 Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options or ISOs under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and options that are not intended to so qualify, which we refer to as Nonstatutory Stock Options. The 2003 Plan also provides for the grant of our restricted stock within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.


Authorized Shares. The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2003 Plan is 250,000 (subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar capital change). If any option granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan terminates, expires, or is canceled or surrendered, in whole or in part, shares subject to the unexercised portion may again be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the 2003 Plan. The shares acquired upon exercise of options granted under the 2003 Plan will be authorized and unissued shares of common stock.


Administration. The 2003 Plan will be administered by the board of directors or any compensation committee of our board of directors, which selects the eligible persons to whom options will be granted. The compensation committee also determines the number of shares of common stock subject to each option, the exercise price therefore and the periods during which options are exercisable. Further, the compensation committee interprets the provisions of the 2003 Plan and, subject to certain limitations, may amend the 2003 Plan. Each option granted under the 2003 Plan will be evidenced by a written agreement between us and the optionee.


Eligibility. Options may be granted under the 2003 Plan to all employees (including officers) directors and certain consultants and advisors. Incentive stock options may be granted only to persons who are employees. Upon receiving grants of options, each holder of the options will enter into an option agreement with that contains the terms and conditions deemed necessary by the compensation committee.


Terms And Conditions Of Options. The exercise price for ISOs granted under the 2003 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price and term for Nonstatutory Stock Options may be any price not less than par value per share as determined by the compensation committee. Under the 2003 Plan, the fair market value is the closing price of shares on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant. If the shares are not publicly traded, then the fair market value will be as the compensation committee will in its sole and absolute discretion determine in a fair and uniform manner.


Options Granted Under The 2003 Plan Have A Maximum Term Of Ten Years. The exercise price of options granted under the 2003 Plan is payable in cash. Options granted under the 2003 Plan are not transferable, except by will and the laws of descent and distribution.


Unless otherwise provided in an option, each outstanding option may, in the sole discretion of the compensation committee, become immediately fully exercisable: if there occurs any transaction, or series of transactions, that has the result that our shareholders immediately before such transaction cease to own at



33




least 51 percent of our voting stock; upon the closing of a transaction, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution in which we do not survive; or upon the closing of the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all our property and assets.


The compensation committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the date on which any option may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of any shares subject to any option or previously acquired by the exercise of any option. Options granted to the officers and directors under the 2003 Plan may not be exercised unless otherwise expressly provided in any option, until six months following the date of grant.


The compensation committee may also, in its sole discretion, by giving written notice cancel, effective upon the date of the consummation of certain corporate transactions that would result in an option becoming fully exercisable, any option that remains unexercised on such date. Such notice will be given a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed date of such cancellation and may be given either before or after Shareholder approval of such corporate transaction.


Termination Of Options. The expiration date of an option is determined by the compensation committee at the time of the grant and is set forth in the applicable option agreement. In no event may an option be exercisable after ten years from the date it is granted.


Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted to employees or consultants. The grant may be subject to vesting or forfeiture conditions similar to the options. Additional restrictions on transfer may be imposed.


Outstanding Options


An aggregate of ___,000 options have been designated for grant pursuant to the 2003 Plan.


Director Compensation


Outside directors are not currently paid cash for services and receive the option grants described above.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS


To date, substantially all of the funding for our operations has been provided by Raymond Zimmerman. At June 30, 2003, he has advanced an aggregate of $19.0 million, of which $14.6 million is carried on the consolidated balance sheet as a notes payable, related party and $4.4 million as accounts payable, related party. The note payable was $14.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and $10.9 million at December 31, 2000, which included accrued interest of $2.1 million at December 31, 2001. Interest is being accrued at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2%. Upon the completion of the merger, the notes payable were converted into 4,750,000 shares of common stock as part of the conversion of the LLC into a corporation. The rights to a portion of these shares have been distributed to some of Mr. Zimmerman’s family and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Zimmerman and his family.


Mr. Zimmerman has personally guaranteed our aggregate $6.0 million line of credit with Bank of America. As a result of these guarantees, the interest rate on these lines has been prime minus 1% when our rate would be several points higher without the guarantee. Mr. Zimmerman has also guaranteed some of our property leases. The lease guarantees will terminate when our shareholders' equity is at least $3 million. We have been accruing fees of 2% of the amount of the principal amount of the obligations. The accrued fees of $242,000 have been included in the interest in the notes payable described above.


In addition, at June 30, 2003, Mr. Zimmerman has advanced approximately $4.4 million that has been carried as accounts payable, related party, of which $2.6 million was outstanding at December 31, 2002 and $471,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2001. These funds were used for equipment purchases, reimbursement of expenses and working capital. These amounts and all other amounts that may be advanced prior to the completion of this offering are being converted into a convertible note. This note will be due two years from the date of this prospectus and bear interest at the prime rate. The note will be convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at a per share conversion price equal to the initial offering price, subject to adjustment. Based on the $4.4 million outstanding at June 30, 2003, this note will be convertible into 880,000 shares assuming a $5.00 offering pr ice. We will have the right to prepay the note at any time.


As of December 31, 2001, we had advanced $160,000 to John Isaac, Jr., our chief operating officer, which was included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. This advance bore interest at 8% per annum with interest accrued of $14,518 as of December 31, 2001. The note was repayable 90 days after payment is demanded. The purpose of the loan was to pay for moving and other living expenses during a time in which Mr. Isaac was not receiving a salary. In connection with Mr. Isaac’s departure from 99 Cent Stuff in 2002, the note was forgiven, recorded as compensation and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


The following is a description of the terms of our capital stock. This description of our capital stock refers to and incorporates various terms of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws as adopted and as in effect following the completion of this offering. Copies of forms of these documents have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Since the terms of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may slightly differ from the general information we are providing, you should only rely on the actual provisions of those documents, instead of a summary description of the material terms.


Authorized Capital Stock


Under our articles of incorporation, as in effect following the completion of this offering, we will have the authority to issue 550,000,000 shares of stock, of which 5,000,000 will be shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, and 50,000,000 will be shares of $.001 par value common stock.


Units


Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. The common stock and warrants will begin to trade separately immediately after the closing date of this offering.




35




Common Stock


Each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of common stock owned by that shareholder on every matter properly submitted to the shareholders for their vote. Subject to the dividend rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this purpose, and, subject to the liquidation preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all our remaining assets available for distribution to the shareholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive right to become subscribers or purchasers of additional shares of any class of our capital stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are, and the sha res of common stock offered in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.


Preferred Stock


Preferred stock may be issued in classes and series, and shares of each class and series will have such rights and the board of directors in the resolutions authorizing the issuance of that particular series fixes preferences as. In designating any series of preferred stock, the board of directors may, without further action by the holders of common stock:


fix the number of shares constituting that series;

fix the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights (which may be greater or lesser than the voting rights of the common stock); and

fix the rights and terms of redemption (including any sinking fund provisions), and the liquidation preferences.


The holders of any preferred stock, when and if issued, are expected to have priority claims to dividends and to any distribution upon liquidation, and they may have other preferences over the holders of the common stock.


The board of directors may issue series of preferred stock without action by our shareholders. Accordingly, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. Issuance of preferred stock may dilute the voting power of holders of common stock.


Warrants


General. The warrants issued in this offering may be exercised at any time beginning on the closing date of this offering and ending on __________ ___, 2006. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. This exercise price will be adjusted if specific events, summarized below, occur. A warrantholder will not be deemed a holder of the underlying common share for any purpose until the warrant is exercised.


Redemption. Beginning one year after the effective date of this offering, we will have the right to redeem the warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, after providing 30 days' prior written notice to the warrantholders, at any time after the closing price for our common stock, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board or the primary exchange on which the common stock is then trading, was at or above $10.00 per share for any 15 of 20 consecutive trading days. We will send a written notice of redemption by first class mail to warrantholders at their last known addresses appearing on the registration records maintained by the transfer agent for our warrants. No other form of notice or publication or otherwise will be required. If we call the warrants for redemption, the warrantholders will then have to decide whether to sell the warrants, exercise the warrants before the close of bus iness on the business day preceding the specified redemption date or hold them for redemption. If the warrants are not covered by a current registration statement or are not qualified for sale under the laws of the state in which you reside, you may not be able to exercise your warrants.




36




Exercise. The warrantholders may exercise the warrants only if an appropriate registration statement is then in effect with the SEC and if the common shares underlying the warrants are qualified for sale under the securities laws of the state in which the holder resides. To exercise a warrant, the holder must deliver to our transfer agent the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date or the redemption date, as applicable, with the form on the reverse side of the certificate executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price for the number of warrants being exercised. Fractional shares of common stock will not be issued upon exercise of our redeemable warrants.


Adjustments Of Exercise Price. The exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted if we declare any stock dividend to shareholders or effect any split or share combination with respect to our common stock. Therefore, if we effect any stock split or stock combination with respect to our common stock, the exercise price in effect immediately prior to this stock split or combination will be proportionately reduced or increased, as the case may be. Any adjustment of the exercise price will also result in an adjustment of the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant or, if we elect, an adjustment of the number of warrants outstanding.


Anti-Takeover Effects Of Certain Provisions Of Florida Law And Our Articles Of Incorporation And Bylaws


Our articles of incorporation, our bylaws and Florida law contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us by various means such as a tender offer or merger not approved by our board of directors. These provisions are designed to enable our board of directors, particularly in the initial years of our existence as a publicly-owned company, to develop our business in a manner that will foster its long-term growth without the potential disruption that might be entailed by the threat of a takeover not deemed by our board of directors to be in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders. The description set forth below is intended as a summary of these provisions only, and we refer you to the actual provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.


Effect Of Florida Anti-Takeover Statute. Florida has enacted legislation that may deter or hinder takeovers of Florida corporations. The Florida Control Share Act generally provides that shares acquired in a “control share acquisition” will not possess any voting rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority of the corporation's disinterested shareholders. A “control share acquisition” is an acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding “control shares” of a publicly held Florida corporation. “Control shares” are shares, which, except for the Florida Control Share Act, would have voting power that, when added to all other shares owned by a person or in respect to which such person may exercise or direct the exerci se of voting power, would entitle such person, immediately after acquisition of such shares, directly or indirectly, alone or as a part of a group, to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power in the election of directors within any of the following ranges:


at least 20% but less than 33 1/3% of all voting power;

at least 33 1/3% but less than a majority of all voting power; or

a majority or more of all voting power.


The Florida Affiliated Transactions Act generally requires supermajority approval by disinterested shareholders of certain specified transactions between a public corporation and holders of more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or their affiliates. Florida law and our Articles and Bylaws also authorize 99 Cent Stuff to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents. In addition, our Articles and Florida law presently limit the personal liability of corporate directors for monetary damages, except where the directors breach their fiduciary duties, and such breach constitutes or includes certain violations of criminal law, a transaction from which the directors derived an improper personal benefit, certain unlawful distributions or certain other reckless, wanton or willful acts or misconduct.


Articles Of Incorporation And Bylaw Provisions. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a shareholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by shareholders. These provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.



37




Supermajority Voting. Our articles of incorporation requires the approval of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our combined voting power to effect certain amendments to our articles of incorporation. Our bylaws may be amended by either a majority of the board of directors, or the holders of 66 2/3% of our voting stock.


Authorized But Unissued Or Undesignated Capital Stock. Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No preferred stock is designated. After this offering, we will have outstanding up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock. The authorized but unissued stock may be issued by the board of directors in one or more transactions. In this regard, our articles of incorporation grants the board of directors' broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director's authority described above could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of common stock and adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of such holders and may have the effect of delay ing, deferring or preventing a change in control. The board of directors does not currently intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of preferred stock, unless otherwise required by law.


Classified Board Of Directors. Under our articles of incorporation and our bylaws, our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms, with one-third of the board of directors being elected each year.


Special Meeting Of Shareholders. The articles of incorporation provide that special meetings of shareholders be called only by a majority of the board of directors, our chief executive officer or holders of not less than one-third of our outstanding voting stock.


Amendment Of Bylaws. The bylaws may only be altered, amended or repealed by the board of directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding shares of capital stock.


Notice Procedures. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to all shareholder proposals to be brought before meetings of our shareholders, including proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors, the removal of directors and amendments to our articles of incorporation or bylaws. These procedures provide that notice of such shareholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our Secretary prior to the meeting. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received by our Secretary not less than 120 days prior to the meeting. The notice must contain certain information specified in the bylaws.


Limitation Of Director Liability. Our articles of incorporation limits the liability of our directors (in their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to us or our shareholders to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:


for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders;

for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

under Section 607.0834 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, which relates to unlawful distributions; or

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.


Indemnification Arrangements. Our bylaws provide that our directors and officers shall be indemnified and provide for the advancement to them of expenses in connection with actual or threatened proceedings and claims arising out of their status as such to the fullest extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide them with rights to indemnification and expense advancement to the fullest extent permitted under the Florida Business Corporation Act.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE


Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.


Upon completion of this offering, we will have a minimum of 5,600,000 shares of common stock outstanding. All of the shares to be sold in this offering and the 250,000 shares outstanding prior to the merger will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by an “affiliate”, as that term is defined in Rule 144, as described below.


The 4,750,000 shares of common stock, which were issued in the merger are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144. All of these shares will be eligible for sale in the public market commencing one year after the date of the merger, all under and subject to the restrictions contained in Rule 144.


In general, under Rule 144, a person, or persons whose shares are required under Rule 144 to be aggregated, including an “affiliate”, as that term is defined under the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of such shares that does not exceed one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock (60,000 shares immediately after this offering), provided certain requirements concerning availability of public information, manner of sale and notice of sale are satisfied. In addition, affiliates must comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144, other than the one-year holding period requirement, in order to sell shares of common stock which are not restricted securities. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not an affi liate and has not been an affiliate for at least three months prior to the sale and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least two years may resell such shares without compliance with the foregoing requirements. In meeting the one- and two-year holding periods described above, a holder of restricted shares can include the holding periods of a prior owner who was not an affiliate. The one-and two-year holding periods described above do not begin to run until the full purchase price or other consideration is paid by the person acquiring the restricted shares from the issuer or an affiliate.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


As of the date of this prospectus, we have entered into a placement agency agreement with Keating Investments, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of the NASD. Keating Investments is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. Under the terms of that agreement, Keating Investments has agreed to sell the units being offered by this prospectus on a “best efforts” basis at the public offering price of $1.25 per unit. As such, Keating Investments has no obligation to take or purchase any of the shares. Further, the agreement with Keating Investments does not ensure the successful placement of any of the shares.


We have agreed to pay Keating Investments a fee of 10% of the gross subscription proceeds of the units sold to purchasers identified (or deemed to be identified) to us by Keating Investments. The underwriting agreement also provides that upon the closing of the units offered, the underwriter will be paid a nonaccountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such units, including the over-allotment option.




39




We have also agreed to issue to the underwriter a unit purchase option to purchase from us up to 100,000 units at an exercise price per unit equal to 120% of the offering price per unit. The unit purchase option and the securities underlying the unit purchase option are exercisable during the two-year period beginning one year from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement and are not redeemable. These warrants are not transferable for one year following the effective date of the registration, except to an individual who is an officer or partner of an underwriter, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The unit purchase option and the common stock and warrants issuable upon its exercise have registration rights. We will cause the registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of the time that all of the unit purchase option and underlying warran ts have been exercised and the date which is three years after the effective date of this offering. The common stock and warrants issued to the underwriter upon exercise of the unit purchase option will be freely tradable.


The holders of the unit purchase option will have, in that capacity, no voting, dividend or other shareholder rights. Any profit realized by the underwriter on the sale of the securities issuable upon exercise of the unit purchase option may be deemed to be additional underwriting compensation. During the term of the unit purchase option, the holders thereof are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock.


The expenses of the offering, other than underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, are estimated at $________ and are payable entirely by us.


We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.


Each of our executive officers and directors and principal shareholders, including without limitation, the selling shareholders, has agreed for a period of 12 months after the date of this prospectus, subject to limited exceptions, not to:


offer to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any rights with respect to any shares of common stock or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock; or

enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of any common stock


without the prior written consent of Keating Investments, which may, however, in their sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the 12-month period, without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.


99 Cent Stuff has agreed not to solicit warrant exercises other than through Keating Investments, unless Keating Investments declines to make such solicitation. Upon any exercise of the warrants after the first anniversary of the date of this Prospectus, 99 Cent Stuff will pay Keating Investments a fee of 5% of the aggregate exercise price of the warrants, if


the market price of the Company's common stock on the date the warrants are exercised is greater than the then exercise price of the warrants;

the warrant holder designates in writing that the exercise of the warrants was solicited by a member of the NASD and designates in writing the broker-dealer to receive compensation for such exercise;

the warrants are not held in a discretionary account;

disclosure of compensation arrangements was made both at the time of the Offering and at the time of exercise of the warrants; and

the solicitation of exercise of the warrant was not in violation of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act 0f 1934. 99 Cent Stuff will bear the costs of Keating Investment’s solicitation of exercise or redemption of the warrants.




40




On June 30, 2003, we compensated Keating Investments, LLC by issuing 33,333 shares of our restricted common stock in connection with the Agreement of Reorganization between 99 Cent Stuff and iVideoNow. Keating is acting as underwriter of this offering. The president and 60% owner of Keating Investments is Timothy J. Keating, who is the son of Kevin R. Keating, who was president and a director at the time and is currently a director.


Keating Investments plans to offer and sell the shares in specific states in which the shares are registered or are exempt from registration, following the procedures for subscribing as outlined in this prospectus, and in compliance with Regulation M.


We will have use of any proceeds received once a subscription agreement is executed and delivered to us and the funds have been released from escrow. All funds received by Keating Investments, in its capacity as placement agent, will be immediately deposited (by Noon on the first business day after receipt) in the escrow account with ___________________ as escrow agent, under the terms of an escrow agreement entered into by us, Keating Investments and the escrow agent.


The proceeds of the offering shall be non-refundable except as may be required by applicable law. We reserve the right to reject any subscription in whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective investor less than the number of shares subscribed for by such investor.


Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our units. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the units offered by this prospectus has been determined though negotiations between us and Keating Investments. Among the factors considered in these negotiations were prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and Keating Investments believe to be comparable to us, estimate of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant.


The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.


LEGAL MATTERS


The validity of the securities offered through this prospectus will be passed on by Sachs Sax Klein, Boca Raton, Florida.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

99 Cent Stuff, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 99 Cent Stuff, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 99 Cent Stuff, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


These financial statements were previously issued and reported on, by us, on February 7, 2003. These financial statements have been revised to reflect the reorganization from a limited liability company to a C corporation and the conversion of shareholder notes payable totaling $14,591,553 into equity as of December 31, 1999.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses and reliance on outside funding to maintain operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

99 CENT STUFF, INC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


99 Cent Stuff LLC (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 28, 1999 as a limited liability company. In July 2003, the Company merged with a public shell, iVideoNow, Inc., and became a C corporation. The Company is a specialty, single-priced retailer that primarily targets individuals and small businesses with one-stop shopping for food, produce, consumable hard lines, health and beauty aids, novelty and impulse items. The Company was operating retail outlets in eleven locations and ten locations at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The locations are separately incorporated as limited liability companies and are wholly owned by the Company. All of the stores are in southeast Florida.


The Company’s ability to provide quality merchandise at the 99 cents price point is subject to certain economic factors, which are beyond the Company’s control, including inflation. Inflation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations, especially given the constraints on the Company to pass on any incremental costs due to price increases or other factors. A sustained trend of significant inflationary pressure could require the Company to abandon its single price point of 99 cents per item, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there are no cash equivalents.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash, short-term payables, borrowings under a line of credit and notes payable. The Company believes that the carrying amounts approximate fair value.


Inventory


Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, and consists primarily of merchandise held for resale. The Company provides an allowance for certain merchandise that may become totally obsolete or damaged. Management believes that there is no obsolete or damaged merchandise in its inventory at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and therefore no adjustment was necessary.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method. The following estimated lives have been used for financial statement purposes:

Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company had no customers representing more than 10 percent of net sales. Substantially all of the Company’s net sales were to customers located in the United States.


Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00 -10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.” Any amounts billed to third-party customers for shipping and handling is included as a component of revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included as a component of cost of sales.

At December 31, 2002, the Company has a $3,500,000 and a $500,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution that requires quarterly interest payments at the bank’s prime rate minus one percent (3.25% at December 31, 2002). The line is secured by a personal guaranty of a shareholder of the Company and is due February 4, 2004. The shareholder is compensated 2% per annum of the total amount available under the line of credit for the personal guaranty of this facility. At December 31, 2002, the Company owed $3,200,000 on its revolving lines of credit.


At December 31, 2001, the Company had a $3,000,000 and a $1,000,000 revolving lines of credit with a financial institution. During 2002, these lines were refinanced into the lines of credit for $3,500,000 and $500,000 discussed above.  


At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had outstanding irrevocable letters of credit approximating $115,000 and $130,225, respectively. These letters of credit, which have terms of three months to one year, collateralize the Company’s obligation to third parties for the purchase of goods or services. The fair value of these letters of credit approximates contract values based on the nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing banks, usually 1 to 1.5% of the credit issued.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 7 - CONTINGENCIES


The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that any financial responsibility that may be incurred in settlement of such claims and lawsuits are not material to the Company’s financial position.


NOTE 8 - FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND LIQUIDITY


The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has funded its start up costs and related operating deficits by loans from a shareholder of the Company. The Company is dependent on this and other sources of financing to meet its future obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan is to fund short-term cash requirements with additional shareholder financing and is also reviewing possible sources of capital and financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 9 - RECLASSIFICATIONS


Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, with no effect on reported net loss.


NOTE 10 - MERGER AGREEMENTS


On July 1, 2003 a majority of the shareholders of iVideoNow, Inc. approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") between IVideoNow, Inc. and 99 Cent Stuff, Inc, whereby IVideoNow, Inc. issued 4,750,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 5 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.001 per share exercisable only in the event Keating Investments LLC does not arrange for at least $3 million of equity financing on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company by December 31, 2003, in exchange for all of the outstanding membership interests of the Company (the "Merger Agreement"). For accounting purposes, the share exchange will be treated as a recapitalization of the Companies. The value of the net assets of the Companies after the share exchange is completed will be the same as their historic book value.


The following unaudited pro forma interim financial information for the Company is presented as if the share exchange had taken place on January 1 for each of the respective years.

NOTE 11 - UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INFORMATION, continued


Provision for Income Taxes


The unaudited pro forma net loss presents the pro forma effects on historical net income adjusted for a pro forma provision for income taxes. The pro forma provision for income taxes has been determined assuming the Company had been taxed as a C corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Since the Company had a loss since inception no income tax expense has been recorded. The tax benefit from the losses has been offset by a valuation allowance.


NOTE 12 - EARNINGS PER SHARE


Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The registrant has not purchased insurance against costs which may be incurred by it pursuant to the foregoing provisions of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, nor does it insure its officers and directors against liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of their functions as such officers and directors.

Item 17. Undertakings


The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling pre cedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective;

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

Subject to the rights of any holders of any class or series of capital stock as specified in the resolution adopted by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof providing for such class or series of capital stock, the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three nor more than 12 directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time solely by the Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class of directors shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors. The initial Class I director shall be Nathan Light; the initial Class II directors shall be Leonard Florence and Kevin Keating; and the initial Class III director shall be Raymond Zimmerman. The initial term of the Class I directors shall expire upon the election and qualification of their successors at the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders; the initial term of the Class II directors shall expire upon the election and qualification of their successors at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders; and the initial term of the Class III directors shall expire upon the election and qualification of their successors at the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders.

Increases or decreases in the number of directors shall be apportioned among the Classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each Class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any Class elected to fill a vacan cy resulting from an increase in such Class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that Class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.


3. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-Laws shall so provide.


4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of capital stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class or series, to elect directors, the notice of nominations, election, removal, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such

If the FBCA is hereinafter amended to permit a corporation to further eliminate or limit the liability of a director of a corporation, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which a director is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall be fur ther eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the FBCA as so amended.

2. The Corporation shall indemnify each director and officer of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except as may be otherwise provided in the Bylaws, and in furtherance hereof the Board is expressly authorized to amend the Bylaws from time to time to give full effect hereto, notwithstanding possible self interest of the directors in the action being taken. Neither the modification or repeal of this Section 2 or any amendment to the FBCA that does not have retroactive application shall limit the right of directors and officers to indemnification hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.


3. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an "Advancement of Expenses"); provided, however, that, if the FBCA so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Officer or Director in his or her capacity as a Director or Officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Officer or Director) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an "Undertaking"), by or on behalf of such Officer or Director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a "Final Adjudication") that such Officer or Director is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 3 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article VII shall be

contract rights, and such rights shall continue as to an Officer or Director who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Officer’s or Director’s heirs, executors and administrators.

5.

CONDITIONS FOR GRANT OF OPTIONS.

(a)

Each Option shall be evidenced by an option agreement that may contain any term deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, provided such terms are not inconsistent with this Plan or any applicable law. Optionees shall be those persons selected by the Committee from the class of all regular Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including Employee Directors and Officers who are regular or former regular employees of the Company, as well as




4





consultants to the Company. Any person who files with the Committee, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, a written waiver of eligibility to receive any Option under this Plan shall not be eligible to receive any Option under this Plan for the duration of such waiver.

(b)

In granting Options, the Committee shall take into consideration the contribution the person has made, or is expected to make, to the success of the Company or its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall also have the authority to consult with and receive recommendations from Officers and other personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries with regard to these matters. The Committee may from time to time in granting Options under this Plan prescribe such terms and conditions concerning such Options as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) the exercise price or prices of the Option or any installments thereof, (ii) prescribing the date or dates on which the Option becomes and/or remains exercisable, (iii) providing that the Option vests or becomes exercisable in ins tallments over a period of time, and/or upon the attainment of certain stated standards, specifications or goals, (iv) relating an Option to the continued employment of the Optionee for a specified period of time, (v) providing whether the Option shall fully vest upon a Change of Control or (vi) conditions or termination events with respect to the exercisability of any Option, provided that such terms and conditions are not more favorable to an Optionee than those expressly permitted herein.

(c)

The Options granted to employees under this Plan shall be in addition to regular salaries, pension, life insurance or other benefits related to their employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither this Plan nor any Option granted under this Plan shall confer upon any person any right to employment or continuance of employment (or related salary and benefits) by the Company or its Subsidiaries.

6.

EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per Share of any Option shall be any price determined by the Committee but shall not be less than the par value per Share; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the exercise price per Share of any Incentive Stock Option be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying such Option on the date such Option is granted and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% shareholder, the per Share exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 14 of this Plan. Re-granted Options, or Options which are canceled and then re-granted covering such canceled Options, will, for purposes of this Section 6, be deemed to have been granted on the date of the re-granting.

7.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

(a)

An Option shall be deemed exercised when (i) the Company has received written notice of such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Option, (ii) full payment of the aggregate option price of the Shares as to which the Option is exercised has been made, (iii) the Optionee has agreed to be bound by the terms, provisions and conditions of any applicable shareholders’ agreement, and (iv) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion have been made for the Optionee’s payment to the Company of the amount that is necessary for the Company or the Subsidiary employing the Optionee to withhold in accordance with applicable Federal or state tax withholding requirements. Unless further limited by the Committee in any Option, the exercise price of any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of such Option shall be paid in cash, by certified or official bank check, by money order, with Shares or by a combination of the above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Committee in its sole




5





discretion may accept a personal check in full or partial payment of any Shares. If the exercise price is paid in whole or in part with Shares, the value of the Shares surrendered shall be their Fair Market Value on the date the Option is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may, on an individual basis or pursuant to a general program established by the Committee in connection with this Plan, lend money to an Optionee to exercise all or a portion of the Option granted hereunder. If the exercise price is paid in whole or part with the Optionee’s promissory note, such note shall (i) provide for full recourse to the maker, (ii) be collateralized by the pledge of the Shares that the Optionee purchases upon exercise of such Option, (iii) bear interest at a rate no less than the rate of interest payable by the Company to its principal lender, and (iv) contain such other terms as the Committee in its sole discretion shall require. No Optionee shall be deemed to be a holder of any shares subject to an Option unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such shares are issued to the person(s) under the terms of this Plan. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Section 10 hereof.

(b)

No Optionee shall be deemed to be a holder of any Shares subject to an Option unless and until a stock certificate or certificates for such Shares are issued to such person(s) under the terms of this Plan. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Section 10 hereof.

8.

EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS. Any Option shall become exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals, upon such events or occurrences and upon such other terms and conditions as shall be provided in this Plan or in an individual Option agreement evidencing such Option, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(b) or this Section 8.

(a)

The expiration date(s) of an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant of the Option.

(b)

Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option as approved by the Committee, notwithstanding the exercise schedule set forth in any Option, each outstanding Option, may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, become fully exercisable upon the date of the occurrence of any Change of Control, but, unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option, no earlier than six months after the date of grant, and if and only if Optionee is in the employ of the Company on such date.

(c)

The Committee may in its sole discretion at any time accelerate the date on which any Option may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of any Shares subject to any Option or previously acquired by the exercise of any Option.

9.

TERMINATION OF OPTION PERIOD.

(a)

Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Option, the unexercised portion of any Option shall automatically and without notice immediately terminate and become forfeited, null and void at the time of the earliest to occur of the following:




6





(i)

three months after the date on which the Optionee’s employment is terminated for any reason other than by reason of (A) Cause, (B) the termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company by such Optionee following less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Company of such termination (an “Improper Termination”), (C) a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or (D) death;

(ii)

immediately upon (A) the termination by the Company of the Optionee’s employment for Cause, or (B) an Improper Termination; or

(iii)

the later of (A) twelve months after the date of termination of the Optionee’s employment by reason of death of the employee, or (B) three months after the date on which the Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during the one year period specified in Subsection 9(a)(iii) hereof.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee or the Optionee retires from employment by the Company or any other entity, then the Option shall continue until the original expiration date.

(c)

The Committee in its sole discretion may, by giving written notice (“cancellation notice”), cancel effective upon the date of the consummation of any corporate transaction described in Subsection 10(d) hereof, any Option that remains unexercised on such date. Such cancellation notice shall be given a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed date of such cancellation and may be given either before or after approval of such corporate transaction.

(d)

Upon Optionee’s termination of employment as described in this Section 9, or otherwise, any Option (or portion thereof) not previously vested or not yet exercisable pursuant to Section 8 of this Plan or the vesting schedule set forth in such Option shall be immediately canceled.

10.

ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

(a)

If at any time while this Plan is in effect or unexercised Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split, combination or exchange of Shares (other than any such exchange or issuance of Shares through which Shares are issued to effect an acquisition of another business or entity or the Company’s purchase of Shares to exercise a “call” purchase option), then and in such event:

(i)

appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of Shares available for grant under this Plan, so that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned;

(ii)

appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any outstanding Option, so that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate exercise price; and




7





(iii)

such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(b)

Subject to the specific terms of any Option, the Committee may change the terms of Options outstanding under this Plan, with respect to the option price or the number of Shares subject to the Options, or both, when, in the Committee’s sole discretion, such adjustments become appropriate by reason of a corporate transaction described in Subsection 10(d) hereof, or otherwise.

(c)

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct or unwritten sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or purchase such Shares, or upon conversion of shares of obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of or exercise price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under this Plan.

(d)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, reclassifications, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or to which the Company is a party; (iii) any issuance by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank senior to or above the Shares subject to outstanding Options; (iv) any purchase or issuance by the Company of Shares or other classes of common stock or common equity securities; (v) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (vi) any sale, transfer, encumbrance, pledge or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vii) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

(e)

The Optionee shall receive written notice within a reasonable time prior to the consummation of such action advising the Optionee of any of the foregoing. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, in such instances declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option.

11.

TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Unless otherwise authorized by the Board, no Option granted hereunder shall be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, disposed or otherwise transferred by the Optionee other than (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (b) by gift to a Family Member, or (c) through a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights.  No Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime by any person other than the Optionee or transferee permitted under this Section 11.

12.

ISSUANCE OF SHARES. As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares upon exercise of any Option, the Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:

(i)

a representation and warranty by the Optionee to the Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he is acquiring the Shares to be issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and




8





(ii)

(A)

an agreement and undertaking to comply with all of the terms, restrictions and provisions set forth in any then applicable shareholders’ agreement relating to the Shares, including, without limitation, any restrictions on transferability, any rights of first refusal and any option of the Company to “call” or purchase such Shares under then applicable agreements, and

(B)

any restrictive legend or legends, to be embossed or imprinted on Share certificates, that are, in the discretion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law or other restriction applicable to the issuance of the Shares.

13.

ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PLAN.

(a)

This Plan shall initially be administered by the Board. As soon as may be practicable, but no later than the date (if ever) the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any United States national securities exchange, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall consist of not less than two Non-Employee Directors. The Committee shall have all of the powers of the Board with respect to this Plan. Any member of the Committee may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of the Board and any vacancy occurring in the membership of the Committee may be filled by appointment by the Board.

(b)

Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to: (i) grant Options, (ii) determine the exercise price per Share at which Options may be exercised, (iii) determine the Optionees to whom, and time or times at which, Options shall be granted, (iv) determine the number of Shares to be represented by each Option, (v) determine the terms, conditions and provisions of each Option granted (which need not be identical) and, with the consent of the holder thereof, modify or amend each Option, (vi) defer (with the consent of the Optionee) or accelerate the exercise date of any Option, and (vii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan, including repricing, canceling and regranting Options.

(c)

The Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of this Plan. The Committee’s determinations and its interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Optionees and any holders of any Options granted under this Plan.

(d)

Any and all decisions or determinations of the Committee shall be made either (i) by a majority vote of the members of the Committee at a meeting of the Committee or (ii) without a meeting by the unanimous written approval of the members of the Committee.

(e)

No member of the Committee, or any Officer or Director of the Company or its Subsidiaries, shall be personally liable for any act or omission made in good faith in connection with this Plan.

14.

INCENTIVE OPTIONS FOR 10% SHAREHOLDERS.

9





least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option on the date the Option is granted, and such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such Option is granted.

15.

INTERPRETATION.

(a)

This Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that all Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan will qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code. If any provision of this Plan should be held invalid for the granting of Incentive Stock Options or illegal for any reason, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been included in this Plan.

(b)

This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

(c)

Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan or affect the meaning or interpretation of any part of this Plan.

(d)

Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.

(e)

Time shall be of the essence with respect to all time periods specified for the giving of notices to the company hereunder, as well as all time periods for the expiration and termination of Options in accordance with Section 9 hereof (or as otherwise set forth in an option agreement).

16.

CANCELLATION AND RESCISSION OF AWARDS.

(a) Unless the Option specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Options at any time if the Optionee is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Plan and the individual Option agreement evidencing such Option, or if the Optionee engages in any "Detrimental Activity." For purposes of this Section 16, "Detrimental Activity" shall include: (i) the rendering of services for any organization or engaging directly or indirectly in any business which is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company; (ii) the disclosure to anyone outsi de the Company, or the use in other than the Company's business, without prior written authorization from the Company, of any confidential information or material, as defined in any agreement between the Optionee and the Company regarding confidential information and intellectual property either during or after employment with the Company; (iii) the failure or refusal to disclose promptly and to assign to the Company, pursuant to the Company's confidentiality agreement with the Optionee, all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the Optionee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company or the failure or refusal to do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in other countries; (iv) activity that results in termination of the Optionee's employment for cause; (v) a material violation of any w ritten rules, policies, procedures or guidelines of the Company; (vi) any




10





attempt directly or indirectly to induce any employee of the Company to be employed or perform services elsewhere or any attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of the Company; (vii) the Optionee being convicted of, or entering a guilty plea with respect to, a crime, whether or not connected with the Company; or (viii) any other conduct or act determined to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any interest of the Company.


(b) Upon exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to an Option, the Optionee shall certify in a manner acceptable to the Company that he or she is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event a Optionee fails to comply with the provisions of paragraphs (a)(i)-(viii) of this Section 16 prior to, or during the six months after, any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to an Option, such exercise, payment or delivery may be rescinded by the Company within two years thereafter. In the event of any such rescission, the Optionee shall pay to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of the rescinded exercise, payment or delivery, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required, and the Company shall be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such gain any am ount owed to the Optionee by the Company.


17.

AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUATION OF THIS PLAN. Either the Board or the Committee may from time to time amend this Plan or any Option without the consent or approval of the shareholders of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except to the extent provided in Section 9, no amendment or suspension of this Plan or any Option issued hereunder shall substantially impair any Option previously granted to any Optionee without the consent of such Optionee.

18.
