INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE REPORT


ITEM 1.    CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT


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 on Schedule 14C/F 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 was effective on September 15, 2003.


ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


See Item 1 above and the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the registrant on September 4, 2003.


ITEM 4.    CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.


Effective September 16, 2003, the Board of Directors of the registrant dismissed Caldwell Becker Dervin Petrick & Co. LLP (“Caldwell”) as the Company’s independent auditors and engaged Daszkal Bolton LLP (“Daszkal”) to serve as the Company’s new independent auditors. Daszkal had served as the auditor for 99 Cent Stuff, LLC prior to the transaction referred to in Item 1 above.

 

Caldwell’s reports on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, the subsequent interim periods ending March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, and during the period July 1, 2003 through September 16, 2003, (collectively referred to as the “Covered Period”) there were no disagreements between the Company and Caldwell on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Caldwell’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports.

 

None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Covered Period.

 

The registrant provided Caldwell with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Caldwell’s letter dated October 20, 2003, stating its agreement with such statements.

 

During the Covered Period, the registrant did not consult Daszkal with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, whether completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT



To the Members of

99 Cent Stuff, LLC


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 99 Cent Stuff, LLC as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in members’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002.  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, LLC as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


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, LLC

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. 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 and credit and debit card receivables to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 the total credit and debit card receivables were $26,312 and $23,111, respectively.  At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there are no other 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 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:

99 CENT STUFF, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued


Income Taxes


As a limited liability company, the Company is treated as a partnership for Federal and State income tax purposes. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are disregarded for tax purposes. Under subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code, members are taxed separately on their distributive share of the Partnership’s income whether or not that income is actually distributed.


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.


Principles of Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary limited liability companies, after eliminations of all material intercompany transactions.


Advertising Costs


Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $12,863 and $83,946 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recognized at the point of sale.


Pre-Opening Costs


The Company expenses, as incurred, all pre-opening costs related to the opening of new retail stores.

NOTE 6 – CREDIT FACILITIES


For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)


On January 10, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution for an additional revolving line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 that requires quarterly interest payments at the bank’s prime rate minus one percent. The line is secured by a personal guarantee of a member of the Company and is due January 10, 2004. The member is compensated 2% per annum of the total amount available under the line of credit for the personal guaranty of this facility.


For the Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001


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 member of the Company and is due February 4, 2004. The member 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.

NOTE 6 – CREDIT FACILITIES, continued


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.


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.


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 Trail Plaza 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.


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 member 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 Member 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 – AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION


On July 1, 2003 a majority of the members of iVideoNow, Inc. approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") between IVideoNow, Inc. and 99 Cent Stuff, LLC, 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 (reflective of the 1 to 4 reverse stock split on September 14, 2003) 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. 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.
