NuTECH DIGITAL, INC.
 
5,930,030 Shares of Common Stock
 
NuTech Digital, Inc. is registering 2,500,000 shares of its common stock, no par value, for sale to investors at a price of $1.50 per share, or $3,750,000 if the total offering is sold. This is our initial public offering. The shares being sold for the benefit of NuTech Digital, Inc. will be offered by our Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Lee Kasper, on a best efforts basis with no minimum. In the event that we elect to sell these securities through an underwriter or broker-dealer, we may pay a cash fee of up to 10% of the proceeds, resulting in proceeds to NuTech Digital, Inc. of $1.35 per share, or $3,375,000 if the total offering is sold. There are no minimum purchase requirements. All proceeds received from the sale of the common stock will be distributed directly to us. We have no arrangements to place the funds in an escrow, trust or similar account. This offering will end on the date that all of the shares of common stock offered are sold.
 
This prospectus also covers the resale of 2,726,586 shares of our common stock and 703,444 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants. The selling shareholders may offer and sell these shares from time to time on terms, including price per share, to be determined at the time of sale. If all of the selling shareholders exercised their warrants, we would receive $2,110,332. Although we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by the selling shareholders.
 
The common stock of NuTech Digital, Inc. is not currently listed on any securities exchange.
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase our securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning at page 3.
 
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities is very speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, along with the other matters referred to in this prospectus, before you decide to buy our securities. If you decide to buy our securities, you should be able to afford a complete loss of your investment.
 
We will continue to need money to fund future operations, and we are not sure we can obtain additional financing.
 
We believe that the proceeds of this offering, together with our current and future available capital resources, including cash flow from operations, will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business for the 12 month period following the date of this prospectus. However, we cannot assure you that future events will not cause us to seek additional capital sooner. To the extent that we need more money, we cannot assure you that funds will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. To the extent that additional money is raised through the sale of our securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The unavailability of funds could have a material adverse effect on our ability to expand our operations.
 
If we are able to borrow money in the future, any such indebtedness could affect our financial health.
 
It is likely that we will incur indebtedness from time to time to continue expanding our film library. This debt could have adverse consequences for our business, including:
 
 
 
We will be more vulnerable to adverse general economic conditions;
 
 
 
We may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to repayment of debt, limiting the availability of cash for other purposes;
 
 
 
We may have difficulty obtaining additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes or other purposes;
 
 
 
We could be limited by financial and other restrictive covenants in our credit arrangements in our borrowing of additional funds; or
 
 
 
We may fail to comply with the covenants under which we borrowed our indebtedness, which could result in an event of default. If an event of default occurred and was not cured or waived, it could result in all amounts outstanding, together with accrued interest, becoming immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay such amounts, the lender could proceed against any collateral granted to it to secure the indebtedness.
 
In order to be successful, we must manage our growth. We cannot assure you that we will manage our growth effectively.
 
We anticipate that we will be entering a period of significant growth. If a period of significant growth occurs, it will expose us to greater overhead, marketing and support costs and other risks associated with the development of new products. To manage our growth effectively, we will need to continue to improve and expand our operational, financial and management information systems and to hire and manage additional personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively do this.
 
We are dependent for our success on a few employees. The loss of one or more of these employees could have an adverse effect on our operations.
 
Our future success will depend, to a significant degree, on the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, particularly our founder, Mr. Lee Kasper, and our Vice President, Mr. Joseph Giarmo,

3


Table of Contents
and on our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and talented personnel. We do not have, and currently we do not intend to acquire, key-man life insurance on the lives of Mr. Kasper or Mr. Giarmo. The loss of Mr. Kasper’s or Mr. Giarmo’s services would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
 
Our industry is intensely competitive. We cannot guarantee you that we can compete successfully.
 
Our business is highly competitive. We must compete with all the other existing forms of entertainment including video arcade games, home video games, theme parks, nightclubs, television, and CDs. All aspects of our business, including pricing, promptness of service, and product quality are significant competitive factors and our ability to successfully compete with respect to each factor is material to our profitability. Our competitors may develop products or services that may be more popular than our products or services and they may be more successful in marketing their products or services than we are in marketing ours. Some of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater market presence, name recognition and financial resources than we have, and many have longstanding market positions and established brand names in their respective markets. Pricing competition could result in lower margins for our products. Although we place a high value upon our ability to provide quality products and services to our customers in order to be competitive in the market place, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in our markets, or compete successfully against current and new competitors as our market continues to evolve.
 
The market in which we do business may change, decreasing the demand for our products.
 
Our DVD products compete with pay-per-view cable television systems, in which cable television subscribers pay a fee to see a movie or other program selected by the subscriber. Existing pay-per-view services offer a limited number of channels and programs and are generally available only to households with a converter to unscramble incoming signals. Recently developed technologies, however, permit certain cable companies, direct broadcast satellite companies, telephone companies and other telecommunications companies to transmit a much greater number of movies to homes in more markets. Ultimately, further improvements in these technologies or the development of other technologies, such as Internet-TV, could lead to the availability of a broad selection of movies to consumers on demand at low prices, which could substantially decrease the demand for DVD-video purchases or rentals. This could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We rely on sales to key customers, which subjects us to risk if we lose their business.
 
As a percentage of total revenues, our net sales to our nine largest customers during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately 37.6% and 45% respectively. One major customer accounted for approximately 10.4% of our revenues in fiscal 2001 and approximately 23% in fiscal 2000. Although we have long-established relationships with many of our customers, we do not have long-term contractual arrangements with any of them. A decrease in business from any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
We could become involved in litigation over our rights to use our products, or the rights of others to use our products.
 
We are not aware that any of our products infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, and we are not currently engaged in any material intellectual property litigation or proceedings. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that we will not become the subject of infringement claims or legal proceedings by third parties with respect to our current or future products. In addition, we may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights, or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in protracted litigation, cause product shipment delays or lead us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements rather than disputing the merits of such claims. Moreover, an adverse outcome in

4


Table of Contents
litigation or similar adversarial proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing products, require disputed rights to be licensed from others or require us to cease the marketing or use of certain products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. To the extent that we want to or are required to obtain licenses to proprietary rights of others, we cannot assure you that any such licenses will be made available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
Government regulations could have an adverse effect on a portion of our business.
 
During 2001, approximately 18.12% of our sales were from late night programming. Although the right to create material containing late night programming is protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the First and Fourteenth Amendments do not protect the dissemination of this material, and several states and communities in which our products are distributed have enacted laws regulating the distribution of late night programming with some offenses designated as misdemeanors and others as felonies, depending on numerous factors. The consequences for violating the state statutes are as varied as the number of states enacting them. Similarly, there is a federal prohibition with respect to the dissemination of late night programming, and the potential penalties for individuals (including corporate directors and officers) violating these federal laws include fines, community service, probation, forfeiture of assets and incarceration. Although we undertake to restrict the distribution of our products in order to comply with all applicable statutes and regulations, we cannot assure you that our efforts will be successful and that we will always comply with all applicable state and federal statutes and regulations.
 
Some of our products include sexually explicit content, which may subject us to additional future regulation or other legal challenges.
 
Some of our products include sexually explicit material. Many people may regard this division of our business as unwholesome. This may negatively impact the value of our common stock. Federal, state and municipal governments, along with various religious and children’s advocacy groups, consistently propose and pass legislation aimed at restricting provision of, access to, and content of late night entertainment. These groups also may file lawsuits against providers of late night entertainment, encourage boycotts against such providers, and mount negative publicity. We cannot assure you that sales of these products will not be subject to successful legal challenges in the future.
 
Sales of our common stock by the selling shareholders in a concurrent offering may depress our stock price.
 
Concurrent with the offer and sale of our common stock, our selling shareholders may offer for sale, from time to time, 3,430,030 shares of our common stock (assuming the full exercise of all warrants). Upon completion of NuTech’s offering and the offering by the selling shareholders, we will have outstanding 5,930,030 freely tradable shares of common stock (assuming the full exercise of all warrants by the selling shareholders) in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by the selling shareholders within a relatively short period of time could have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
 
We have not paid cash dividends and it is unlikely that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
We plan to use all of our earnings, to the extent we have earnings, to fund our operations. We do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We cannot guarantee that we will, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution as a dividend to the holders of our common stock. You should not expect to receive cash dividends on our common stock.

Table of Contents
 
We have the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock without asking for shareholder approval, which could cause your investment to be diluted.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of common stock or warrants to purchase shares of common stock is generally not subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, any additional issuance of our common stock may have the effect of further diluting your investment.
 
If you purchase the securities we are offering, the value of your purchase will be immediately diluted.
 
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the securities that you purchase. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Dilution.”
 
We may raise additional capital through a securities offering that could dilute your ownership interest.
 
We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of additional common stock by our management will also have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
 
A majority of our capital stock is owned by our executive officers and directors, which will allow them to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for vote.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, management owns the majority of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock. Immediately after the sale of all of the securities offered in NuTech’s offering, management will beneficially own approximately 64% of the issued and outstanding capital stock, and investors and other remaining shareholders will beneficially own approximately 36% of the issued and outstanding capital stock (not including the common stock represented by outstanding warrants and options). Because management owns a majority of the capital stock, even though the holders of common stock are entitled to cumulate their shares when voting for directors, management will retain the ability to elect a majority of the Board of Directors, and thereby control our management. Although they are under no obligation to do so, if our executive officers and directors (and their affiliates) were to vote together, they would also have the ability to control the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including mergers and other changes of corporate control, going private transactions, and other extraordinary transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, even if a change of control would benefit shareholders.
 
Management will have broad discretion in using the proceeds received from NuTech’s offering. You may not approve of the ways in which management uses those proceeds.
 
We expect to use the net proceeds of NuTech’s offering primarily for acquiring more licenses for our library of animated works, to begin production of music videos, to retire debt, and for other general corporate purposes. Management will retain broad discretion as to the allocation of the proceeds of NuTech’s offering. You may not approve of the uses to which management allocates the money. Management’s failure to effectively use this money could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.”
 
There is no public market for our securities, so you will be unable to liquidate them if you need money.
 
Prior to this offering there has been no public market for our common stock. It is not likely that an active market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering or in the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents
 
If a public market for our common stock develops, it may be volatile. This may affect the ability of our investors to sell their shares as well as the price at which they sell their shares.
 
If a market for our common stock develops, the market price for the shares may be significantly affected by factors such as variations in quarterly and yearly operating results, general trends in the entertainment industry, and changes in state or federal regulations affecting us and our industry. Furthermore, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
We will be subject to the Penny Stock Rules and these rules may adversely affect trading in our common stock.
 
Our common stock will be considered a “low-priced” security under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer’s duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions will likely be a decrease in the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, decrease liquidity of our common stock and increase transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.
 
We have arbitrarily determined, without regard to traditional valuation criteria, the price of the common stock we are offering. You may not rely on this price as an indication of the value of the securities you purchase.
 
The price of the common stock we are offering for sale in NuTech’s offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise a total of $3,750,000. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered by the Board of Directors in setting NuTech’s offering price were the proceeds to be raised in the offering and our cash requirements. The price of our common stock may decline after the offering.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
In addition to historical information, this prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, competitive pressures, changes in technology that may render our products less desirable or obsolete, changes in the economy that would leave less disposable income to be allocated to entertainment, the loss of any member of our management team, the loss of certain key customers, the factors more fully discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other factors, some of which will be outside our control. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
If we sell all of the 2,500,000 shares of common stock we are offering, we will receive proceeds totaling $3,750,000. (We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered by the selling shareholders.) We expect to use the proceeds as follows:
 
 
 
$2,587,500 (approximately 69% of the proceeds of NuTech’s offering) will be used to acquire licenses for entertainment products, particularly Japanese anime, and to produce popular music concerts;
 
 
 
$975,000 (approximately 26% of the proceeds of NuTech’s offering) will be used to retire debt, including our bank line of credit; and
 
 
 
$187,500 (approximately 5% of the proceeds of NuTech’s offering) will be used as working capital and for our general corporate purposes.
 
The debt we intend to retire includes the following:
 
 
 
our bank line of credit in the amount of $650,000, which accrues interest at the rate of prime plus 1.75% and is due to be paid in full on April 30, 2003;
 
 
 
a loan from Ritek Corporation in the amount of $400,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 8.5% and was due to be paid in full on June 10, 1999;
 
 
 
a loan from Elynor Kasper in the amount of $60,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 10% and is due to be paid in full on demand;
 
 
 
a loan from Brandon Kasper in the amount of $7,418, which accrues interest at the rate of 7% and is due to be paid on demand;
 
 
 
a loan from Ryan Kasper in the amount of $7,467, which accrues interest at the rate of 7% and is due to be paid on demand;
 
 
 
a loan from Jordan Kasper in the amount of $3,555, which accrues interest at the rate of 7% and is due to be paid on demand.
 
Proceeds of the above-referenced loans were used to acquire licenses for entertainment products and for working capital purposes. Elynor Kasper is the mother of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lee Kasper. Brandon Kasper, Ryan Kasper and Jordan Kasper are Mr. Kasper’s children.
 
Other than as set forth in this prospectus, we currently have no commitments or agreements and are not involved in any negotiations with respect to any acquisitions or investments. The allocation of the net proceeds of NuTech’s offering discussed above represents management’s current estimates only. We cannot specify with

Table of Contents
certainty the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon completion of NuTech’s offering, as the actual allocation will depend upon the licensing or other business opportunities that arise, the amount of our future revenues, any change or inaccuracy in our assumptions about our business or future operations and the other factors described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”. Accordingly, management will have broad discretion in using the net proceeds of NuTech’s offering. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of NuTech’s offering in a money market account.
 
Working capital and general corporate purposes assumes expenditures for our operations, such as hiring additional personnel and acquiring and enhancing our operating, support and management systems.
 
If we are unable to raise the entire $3,750,000, we anticipate that we will allocate any money we receive to the categories set forth above, although the percentage allocated will be determined by our needs at the time the funds are received.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
There is no established public market for the shares of common stock that we are registering. Our management has established a price of $1.50 per share based upon management’s estimate of our cash requirements and the price at which potential investors might be willing to purchase the common stock we are offering. The offering price has been arbitrarily determined and does not bear any relationship to our assets, results of operations, or book value, or to any other generally accepted criteria of valuation.

DILUTION
 
We are registering for sale to new investors up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.
 
On June 18, 1997 our founding shareholder, Mr. Lee Kasper, paid $1.00 per share for 1,000 shares of our common stock and on July 31, 2000 our Board of Directors issued to Mr. Joseph Giarmo, our Vice-President and a director, 50 shares of our common stock as compensation for extraordinary services rendered to us by Mr. Giarmo. The Board of Directors determined that the services had a value of $250.
 
On May 4, 2001 our Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 2,000,000 to 100,000,000 and to split each share of outstanding common stock from one share into 7,905 shares. After giving effect to the stock split, Mr. Kasper owned 7,905,000 shares of common stock, bringing down the cost of each share of common stock to approximately $ .000127 per share. After giving effect to the stock split, Mr. Giarmo owned 395,250 shares of common stock, bringing down the cost of each share of common stock to approximately $ .000633 per share.
 
Other of our existing shareholders whose shares are being registered for resale received our common stock in exchange for the surrender of certain contract rights, having a value of $3,000, or for services rendered to us, having a value of $10,500 and $12,000, respectively. The Board of Directors agreed to issue 100,000 shares, 350,000 shares and 400,000 shares, respectively, to these shareholders in exchange for these obligations.
 
On September 13, 2001 the Board of Directors agreed to convert $100,000 of debt owed to Sarah and LeBron Barkstelle to common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $1.00 converted.
 
Those shareholders who purchased shares in our private offering dated June 1, 2001 paid $1.50 per share for their shares of common stock. Shareholders who purchased shares in our private offering also received a warrant to purchase an identical amount of shares of our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. The warrants will expire on November 1, 2002. The exercise of the warrants at a time when the exercise price is greater than our net tangible book value per share will result in an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of our existing shareholders. At the same time, new investors will experience immediate dilution in the value of their investment. As of the date of this offering, none of the warrants has been exercised.
 
On April 15, 2002, we granted options to purchase a total of 1,705,000 shares of our common stock, in accordance with the NuTech Digital, Inc. 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, to many of our employees. Included in this grant was a grant to Mr. Kasper of an option to purchase 500,000 shares and a grant to Mr. Giarmo of an option to purchase 300,000 shares. The exercise price for all grants is $1.50 per share.
 
The following table sets forth on a pro forma basis at December 31, 2001 the differences between existing shareholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the average price paid per share (assuming a proposed public offering price of $1.50 per share).

Aside from cash, we issued stock in exchange for services rendered, in cancellation of debt, and in exchange for the cancellation of contract rights. All of these have been included in this figure.
 
The difference between the public offering price per share of common stock and the net tangible book value per share of common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book value (total assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of common stock. The dilution calculations we have set forth in this section reflect an offering price of $1.50 per share.

Table of Contents
 
As of December 31, 2001, we had a net tangible book value of $1,040,261 or $.10 per share of issued and outstanding common stock. After giving effect to the sale of the common stock offered in NuTech’s offering, the net tangible book value at that date would have been $4,790,261 or $0.38 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.28 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $1.12 per share to the investors in this offering.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
The following table sets forth the names of the selling shareholders who may sell their shares using this prospectus. No selling shareholder has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, except for Lee Kasper, who is our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, Joseph Giarmo, who is our Vice-President and a director, Pollet, Richardson & Patel, which serves as our legal counsel and Saratoga Capital Corporation, our distribution agent in Asia.
 
The following table also sets forth certain information as of the date of this prospectus, to the best of our knowledge, regarding the ownership of our common stock by the selling shareholders. Because the selling shareholders can offer all, some or none of their shares of our common stock, we have no way of determining the number they will hold after this offering. Therefore, we have prepared the table below on the assumption that they will sell all shares covered by this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
This is our initial public offering. We are registering a total of 5,930,030 shares of our common stock. Of this amount, 2,500,000 shares, referred to in this prospectus as “NuTech’s offering”, are being offered by NuTech and 3,430,030 shares are being offered by the selling shareholders. We will receive the proceeds from the shares offered in NuTech’s offering. We will not receive the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders. However, of the shares offered by the selling shareholders, 703,444 shares are represented by warrants owned by some of the selling shareholders. We will receive proceeds from any selling shareholder who exercises a warrant to purchase our common stock.
 
We anticipate that a market maker will apply to have our common stock traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board. If successful, the selling shareholders will be able to sell their shares from time to time on the over-the-counter bulletin board, or on other markets, at prevailing market rates. If our common stock is not listed on the over-the-counter bulletin board, the selling shareholders may sell their shares in privately negotiated transactions at any price per share. Any securities sold in brokerage transactions will involve customary brokers’ commissions.
 
Broker-dealers may charge commissions to both selling shareholders selling common stock, and purchasers buying shares sold by a selling shareholder. Neither the selling shareholders nor NuTech can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling shareholders and any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.
 
We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees. Offers or sales of the shares have not been registered or qualified under the laws of any country other than the United States. To comply with certain states’ securities laws, if applicable, the shares will be offered or sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. There can be no assurance that the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them in this offering.
 
The shares to be sold in NuTech’s offering will be offered by our President, Chief Executive Officer and director, Mr. Lee Kasper, on a best efforts basis with no minimum. In the event, however, that we elect to sell these securities through an underwriter or broker-dealer, we may pay a cash fee of up to 10% of the proceeds we receive, resulting in net proceeds to us of $1.35 per share or $3,375,000 if NuTech’s offering is fully sold.
 
In accordance with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, neither NuTech nor the selling shareholders may bid for, purchase or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase any of our common stock while we or they are selling stock in this offering. Neither we nor any of the selling shareholders intends to engage in any passive market making or undertake any stabilizing activity for our common stock. To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders intends to engage in any short selling of our common stock.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are not a party to any material legal proceeding, nor to the knowledge of management, are any legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business.

Mr. Giarmo joined Metro in September 1995 as a CD-Rom Specialist, creating interactive games and developing products based on Mac/PC formats.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
 
Common Stock
 
The securities being offering in NuTech’s offering and by the selling shareholders are shares of our common stock. We are authorized by our Articles of Incorporation to issue one class of capital stock, namely 100,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value. Prior to this offering there has been no public or private trading market for our common stock.
 
We presently have issued and outstanding 10,380,169 shares of common stock. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters subject to stockholder vote. If the Board of Directors were to declare a dividend out of funds legally available therefore, all of the outstanding shares of common stock would be entitled to receive such dividend ratably. Except for dividends declared to Mr. Lee Kasper, our Chief Executive Officer, we have never declared dividends and we do not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future. If NuTech was liquidated or dissolved, holders of shares of common stock would be entitled to share ratably in assets remaining after satisfaction of our liabilities.
 
Most of our shareholders have signed “Shareholder Buy/Sell” or other purchase agreements that grant a right of first refusal to NuTech and to Mr. Lee Kasper to purchase the shareholder’s common stock upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the shareholder’s desire to transfer his common stock to a third party or upon the shareholder’s death. Most of the shareholders have also granted to NuTech “drag-along” rights in the event that certain kinds of corporate transactions are approved by a majority of the shares entitled to vote. These drag-along rights require the shareholders who did not approve of the transaction to dispose of their common stock in the manner approved by the majority. Our Board of Directors has approved the termination, on the date that this registration statement becomes effective, of all Shareholder Buy/Sell agreements and of these provisions in any purchase agreement as to all shareholders who are bound by them.
 
Holders of common stock may elect directors using cumulative voting.
 
Warrants Issued Through Our Private Offering
 
On June 1, 2001 we began a private offering of units, valued at $25,000 each, consisting of 16,666 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase a like number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3 per share. We sold a total of 703,444 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 703,444 shares of common stock. The warrants will expire on November 1, 2002. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of common stock as a dividend on shares of common stock, subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations of the common stock or similar events. The warrants do not contain provisions protecting against dilution resulting from the sale of additional shares of common stock for less than the exercise price of the warrants or the current market price of our securities and do not entitle the warrant holders to any voting or other rights as a shareholder until the warrants are exercised and the common stock is issued.
 
The shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants will be, when issued in accordance with the warrants, duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. At all times that the warrants are outstanding, we will authorize and reserve at least that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding warrants.
 
For the term of the warrants, the holders are given the opportunity to profit from an increase in the per share price of our common stock, with a resulting dilution in the interests of all other stockholders.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law permits the indemnification of a corporation’s agents (which includes officers and directors) because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation or because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of a corporation. If the agent is successful on the merits in defense of any action or proceeding, the corporation must indemnify the agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in such defense.
 
Article V of our Articles of Incorporation provides that the liability of directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. This provision requires NuTech to indemnify its directors, as permitted by law, in excess of Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law.
 
Our bylaws permit us to indemnify our officers and directors, to the maximum extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact any person is or was an officer or director of NuTech. In this regard, we have the power to advance to any officer or director expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of NuTech pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Background
 
DVD Technology
 
DVD is the next generation of optical disc storage technology. It is a compact disc that can hold high quality video and audio as well as computer data. DVD encompasses home entertainment and computer data with a single digital format. Management believes that DVD will eventually replace audio CD, videotape, laserdisc, CD-ROM, and video game cartridges. DVD has widespread support from electronics and computer hardware companies, as well as from movie and music studios.
 
DVD has both a physical format, such as DVD-ROM, which is the base format that holds data, and application formats, such as DVD-video, which defines how video programs are stored on disc and played in a DVD-video player or DVD computer. The application formats include DVD-video, DVD-video recording, DVD-audio and DVD-audio recording. There are also special application formats for game consoles such as Sony PlayStation 2.
 
DVD video discs hold over two hours of high-quality digital video and up to eight tracks of digital audio, each with as many as eight channels. The discs can utilize menus and other simple interactive features. They are durable, not susceptible to magnetic fields, compact in size, and do not show signs of wear after multiple viewings. The discs can incorporate 7 different camera angles, and different viewpoints can be selected during playback. The user can instantly search for title, chapter, music track and timecode. In addition to extras such as trailers, photo galleries and biographical information, DVDs can include documentaries about the making of the film, alternate languages, commentaries from the filmaker, deleted scenes, alternate endings and music videos. Most importantly, if carefully produced, DVDs have the capability to reproduce near-studio-quality video and better-than-CD quality audio. DVD has consistently been rated superior to consumer videotape and laserdisc.
 
The History of DVD
 
The original DVD specification was developed by a group of companies and announced in September 1995. DVD was launched in Japan in November 1996. The first titles were released in the United States on March 19, 1997. Through December 1997, approximately 315,000 DVD video players were shipped in the United States and over 1 million individual DVD video discs, from approximately 900 DVD video titles, were shipped. In 2000, approximately 8.5 million DVD video players were shipped in the United States and over 182 million discs. As of June 30, 2001, approximately 151 million discs had been shipped, more than doubling the number shipped as of June 30, 2000.
 
The Current Market for DVD Products
 
According to The DVD Statistical Report, sales of DVDs increased from 74.2 million in 1999 to 204.3 million in 2000. This increase is attributed to the increase in the number of titles released for purchase by consumers on DVD and to consumers building DVD libraries. All revenues derived from sales of DVDs totaled approximately $3.41 billion in 2000, representing 32% of the video sell-through market. Concurrent with the increase of sales in the DVD format was the decline, for the second consecutive year, of VHS sales from $7.73 billion in 1999 to $7.38 billion in 2000.
 
DVD Entertainment Group, an industry funded nonprofit corporation that exists to promote consumer awareness of the benefits of DVD technology, believes that DVD hardware and software sales will continue to grow at accelerated paces. According to DVD Entertainment Group, consumers purchased 16.7 million DVD players in 2001, compared to 9.9 million in 2000, and purchased 364,000,000 movie and music video titles on DVD in 2001, compared to 182,000,000 titles in 2000. In 2001, consumers spent approximately $4.6 billion on DVDs, up from $1.9 billion in 2000.

Digital Video Disc News, vol. 6, no. 1, January 14, 2002.
 
According to DVD Entertainment Group, there are now more than 125 DVD player models marketed under 50 different consumer electronics brands. DVD is becoming the focal point of home entertainment. According to The DVD Statistical Report, DVD households increased by 245.8% to just under 9 million in 2000, up from 2.6 million in 1999. At least one industry source anticipates that DVD spending will reach $10.7 billion in 2003 and $13.2 billion in 2005.
 
Our Products
 
We produce and sell high-quality general entertainment products for children and adults in the DVD, VHS and CD + Graphics formats. Our products are sold through the Internet, retailers, and distributors. We also provide authoring services to content providers in the entertainment industry.
 
Japanese Animated Films
 
The animated film art form known as “anime” had its start in Japan around 1963, the product of animators Osamu Tezuka and Mitsuteru Yokoyama. Anime has a distinctive look, including highly stylized and realistic background images, which “play-off” the often whimsically drawn characters. Since the early 1990s, anime has begun to find an audience in the United States. Even though these films are animated, they generally have broad audience appeal due to their complex story lines and their tendency to be emotionally charged. Anime encompasses many genres, including action/adventure films targeted to young girls (“shojo”) and young boys (“shonen”), horror, fantasy and science fiction films, comedy, and films produced solely for adults (“hentai”).
 
We believe that anime has a strong and growing fan base, both in Asia and the United States. For the first time in history, the Academy Awards included an Oscar for best animated feature film. Due to their quality and variety of subject matter, many expected anime features from Japan to be nominated along with those features produced by Disney and Dreamworks. The Cartoon Network announced that it plans to include three new anime series on its network, and in October 2001 the three-day Big Apple Anime Fest, touted as the “Cannes Film Festival of the Anime Manga Culture” was scheduled to be held in New York City. In October 2000, anime represented approximately 3.52% of all titles available in the United States. By April 2001, that percentage had grown to 4.42%.
 
We believe that anime, and particularly hentai, will continue to grow in popularity, and that this is evidenced by the increase in the number of anime titles now available for purchase or rental. We have invested in licensing rights to 75 anime titles, including erotic feature films, action/adventure films and horror films.
 
Revenues from sales of anime, including hentai, totaled approximately $1,312,868 in 2000 and $2,456,146 in 2001, which represented approximately 30% and 50% of our total sales, respectively. During the 2000 fiscal year, we licensed only 13 hentai titles, but these titles accounted for $1.1 million in sales, or 26% of all revenues earned that year. During the 2001 fiscal year, we licensed 75 hentai titles, which accounted for over $2 million in sales, or over 42% of all revenues earned that year. For this reason we have continued to license

21


Table of Contents
hentai anime products, so that we currently have 64 hentai titles, and we intend to use the proceeds of this offering to acquire the rights to an additional 100 hentai animated titles.
 
Children’s Animated Films and Games
 
We acquired 27 classic children’s animation titles and produced these in DVD format, including Alice In Wonderland, BlackBeauty, Tom Sawyer and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
 
We are also a DVD distributor of “Shadoan”, a role-playing game set in a magical kingdom populated by princes, princesses, wizards and dragons. We believe that sales of this game may grow as more DVD players, including the Sony PlayStation 2 platforms, are purchased for family entertainment.
 
Our children’s products accounted for approximately $392,600 in sales during 2001, which represented approximately 8% of our revenues for that year.
 
Karaoke
 
The word “karaoke” is derived from the Japanese words “kara” meaning empty and “oke” which is the translation of the American word “orchestra”. Karaoke is a pre-recorded song in which the lead vocals have been eliminated or re-mixed out, and the voice of the individual performing is substituted on the sound track. The back-up singers and musicians are left in the song for accompaniment.
 
The goal of karaoke is to make each singer feel like a star and sound like a professional vocalist. This is achieved through a DVD or CD + G player and an on-stage television monitor that prompts the singer with the lyrics and rhythm of the song being sung.
 
The popularity of karaoke has risen steadily in the United States since its introduction here in or around 1985. The Singing Machine Company, the largest manufacturer of karaoke hardware, has seen sales increase from $4,000,000 in 1997 to $16,000,000 in 2000. The entire market for karaoke hardware in the United States is approximately $35,000,000, an increase of almost 650% from the market in 1997, which was $5,500,000.
 
The market for karaoke hardware and software is estimated to be $10 billion in the Far East, but less than $300 million in North America. We believe that there is great potential for expansion in this market, which has grown steadily in the United States. We believe that this growth trend will continue.
 
We produce and distribute 256 volumes of karaoke software in DVD, CD+G, and V-CD formats for use with karaoke recording equipment. One track of those tapes offers complete music and vocals for practice and the other track is instrumental only for performance by the participant. Most of the audiocassette music sold by us is accompanied by printed lyrics, and our karaoke CDs with graphics (CD+G) contain lyrics, which appear on the video screen. We contract for the reproduction of audiocassette music, which is produced by us or by an independent producer.
 
During 2001, karaoke products accounted for over $1.5 million in sales, which made up approximately 31.76% of our total revenues.
 
Late Night and Animated Films
 
Consumer purchases of adult entertainment products have increased dramatically. In 1999, the total worldwide adult entertainment market was estimated to be $56 billion. The industry that has come to be known broadly as late night entertainment began its transformation about 30 years ago, with the advent of home videos and the VCR. We believe that DVD has had a dramatic impact on late night programming, due to its high video clarity and menu driven features.

22


Table of Contents
23
 
During the 1980s, the availability of late night movies on videocassette and on cable television helped to legitimize the consumption of explicit material by putting it in the home setting. The result has been the legitimization of industry products by other businesses not traditionally associated with the late night entertainment industry. Video stores, long distance telephone carriers, satellite providers, and cable companies earn significant returns by supplying or investing in adult entertainment businesses, either directly or indirectly.
 
We license over 260 late night films, which are distributed through the Internet as well as through retailers and wholesale outlets. Fans of anime enjoy our collection of “hentai”, a combination of late night programming with animated characters.
 
Revenues from late night programming (not including hentai) totaled approximately $1,414,666 in 2000 and $887,714.97 in 2001, which represented approximately 33% and 18% of our total sales, respectively.
 
General Production Services
 
When businesses offering DVD products obtain a license to duplicate a film or other work of art, they receive the work as an analog or digital tape. In order to replicate the film on DVD, the licensee must create a digital linear tape. This process is known as “authoring”. After the digital linear tape is created, it is shipped to a factory where it is replicated onto a “stamper”. The stamper is used to make the DVDs. We provide DVD authoring and menu designs to complete product replication and packaging for other content providers in the entertainment industry.
 
Planned Music Concert Production
 
It is our goal to produce live music concerts by current, well-known musical artists, which we will sell in DVD format. To date, we have not had sufficient funds to do this.
 
Our Suppliers and Customers
 
We replicate our films, music and games on DVD through three suppliers, U-Tech Media, Media Factory and L & M. If all of our replicating suppliers were to become unable to provide the volume of replication services necessary for our business, we believe that we could find other suppliers who would be able to provide these services to us at competitive prices.
 
During the 2001 fiscal year, sales made to a single distributor of karaoke software represented approximately 23% of all revenues earned from sales for that year. If we were to lose this distributor, we believe that we would be able to find other distributors to sell our karaoke products, or that we would be successful in marketing these products directly.
 
Generally, we sell all of our non-karaoke DVD and VHS products through more than 300 retail outlets, the Internet, and wholesale distributors.
 
The Effect of Government Regulation on our Business
 
While production of our products does not require government approval, the sale of our late night programming is subject to regulation by the federal government, as well as by various state and municipal governments. Several states and communities in which our products are distributed have enacted laws regulating the distribution of late night programming with some offenses designated as misdemeanors and others as felonies, depending on numerous factors. The consequences for violating the state statutes are varied. There is also a federal prohibition with respect to the dissemination of late night programming, and the potential penalties for individuals (including corporate directors and officers) violating these federal laws include fines, community service, probation, forfeiture of assets and incarceration. We attempt to comply with all applicable statutes and regulations.

Licenses and Other Intellectual Property
 
We do not have patents, franchises or concessions and we have not entered into labor contracts. However, all of our games, and many of our film and music titles, are licensed from third parties. License periods are generally no shorter than five years and no more than 10 years. Most of the license agreements require us to pay an advance royalty, which we recoup through sales. Some of the license agreements require us to pay royalties during the term of the license. The computation of royalties varies, depending on our determination of the importance of the title to our product offerings. Royalties are primarily computed as a percentage of gross sales and may include guaranteed payments of royalties. We also purchase the rights to certain of our film and music titles for a one-time fee, rather than for the payment of on-going royalties.
 
While we have not registered our trade names or our logo with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, we believe that the name recognition and image that we have developed in each of our markets significantly enhance customer response to our sales promotions. Accordingly, our trademarks are important to our business and we intend to aggressively defend them.
 
Competition
 
Nearly all of our products compete with other products and services that utilize free time or disposable income. The businesses in which we compete are, in general, highly competitive and service-oriented. We do not have long-term or exclusive service agreements with our suppliers or our customers. Business generation is based primarily on customer satisfaction with reliability, timeliness, quality and price, which has allowed us to establish long-term relationships with many of our customers.
 
Although our films are well established and high quality products in the general entertainment industry, we compete with entities selling similar products at retail as well as through wholesale distributors and the Internet. However, we believe that our entry into the anime market is ahead of our competitors, and provides us with a unique product that has the potential of significant growth.
 
Employees
 
We have 15 full-time employees including two in administration, two in sales, five in distribution, two in accounting, two in production, one in management information systems and one in customer service.
 
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
Our offices, operations and warehouse facilities are located at 7900 Gloria Avenue, Van Nuys, California 91406. We lease this facility at market rates. Our facility is approximately 9,500 square feet in size. Our lease term began on May 1, 2001 and will continue until July 31, 2006. We have one option to renew the lease, at the end of the least term, for an additional period of five years. The facility is adequate for our current operations, and management believes that it will continue to be adequate through the initial lease term.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
We believe that consumers like the interactive features of DVD as well as its exceptional video and audio quality, and that DVD products will eventually replace most VHS products. We do not believe that DVD technology is in danger of becoming obsolete in the immediate future. We also believe that the audience for anime will continue to grow worldwide, and that our investment in anime is well-timed. We are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.
 
With the exception of the licenses we will acquire, we have not made any material commitments for capital expenditures in the immediate future.
 
Other than our belief that DVD products and anime will continue to grow in popularity worldwide, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our net sales or revenues or on income from our continuing operations.
 
We cannot generate enough cash solely through our operations to significantly expand our library of anime or to implement our plan to produce musical concerts.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001
 
Our revenues from operations for the first three months of 2002 were $1,111,471, as compared to revenues of $962,039 for the first three months of 2001, approximately a 13.44% increase. The increase in revenues was due primarily to the overall growth of the DVD market and to the increase in the number of Japanese anime products we added to our film library.
 
Our gross profit from operations for the first three months of 2002 increased to $803,339 as compared to $689,654 for the first three months of 2001. Our gross margin stayed stable for the first three months of 2002, at approximately 73%, as compared to 72% for the first three months of 2001. Costs of sales increased during the first three months of 2002, to $308,132, as compared to $272,385 for the first three months of 2001. This increase in costs of sales was due to the increase in sales made during the quarter.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $303,020, to $883,271 for the first three months of 2002, as compared to $580,251, for the first three months of 2001, approximately a 34.4% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to expenses associated with the growth of our business, including staffing and office leasing costs.
 
Other income and expenses, including depreciation and amortization expenses, increased by $42,058 in the first three months of 2002, to $145,299, as compared to $103,241 in the first three months of 2001. This increase was primarily due to the fact that we purchased a number of new licenses, which were subsequently released and depreciated.
 
We recorded a net loss of $88,680 from operations in the first three months of 2002, as compared to net income from operations of $58,489 in the first three months of 2001. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to expenses associated with the growth of our business that, in the first quarter of 2002, included substantial costs to attend a trade show.

2001 Fiscal Year Compared to 2000 Fiscal Year
 
Our revenues from operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $5,021,232, as compared to revenues of $4,186,673 for the year ended December 31, 2000, a 20% increase. The increase in revenues was due primarily to the overall growth of the DVD market and to the increase in the number of Japanese anime products we added to our film library.
 
Our gross profit from operations for fiscal year 2001 increased to $3,886,370 as compared to $3,251,363 in fiscal year 2000. Our gross margin stayed stable in 2001, decreasing slightly to 77.3% in fiscal year 2001 from 77.6% in fiscal year 2000.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $1,242,467, to $3,430,563 for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $2,188,096, for the prior fiscal year, a 57% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to expenses associated with the growth of our business, including staffing and office leasing costs.
 
Other income and expenses, including depreciation and amortization expenses, increased by $138,119 in the 2001 fiscal year, to $539,099, as compared to $400,980 in the 2000 fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to the fact that we purchased a number of new licenses, which were subsequently released and depreciated.
 
We recorded net income of $167,181 from operations in the 2001 fiscal year as compared to net income from operations of $860,179 in the 2000 fiscal year. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in legal and accounting fees, our change of status from an S corporation to a C corporation for tax reporting purposes, which resulted in our paying a salary to our Chief Executive Officer and President, rather than declaring a dividend, depreciation costs associated with new licenses, and income taxes.
 
2000 Fiscal Year Compared to 1999 Fiscal Year
 
Our revenues from operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $4,186,673, as compared to revenues of $3,223,157 for the year ended December 31, 1999, a 30% increase. The increase in revenues was due primarily to the overall growth of the DVD market and to the addition of Japanese anime products to our film library.
 
Our gross profit from operations for fiscal year 2000 was $3,251,363 as compared to $2,161,635 in fiscal year 1999. Our gross margin increased to 78% in fiscal year 2000 from 67% in fiscal year 1999. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a reduction in our replication costs. We were able to reduce our replication costs because the number of films we replicated increased, thereby allowing us to negotiate better pricing.
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $116,819, to $1,787,116 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $1,670,297, for the prior fiscal year, a 7% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to expenses associated with the growth of our business, including staffing and office leasing costs.
 
Other income and expenses, including depreciation and amortization expenses, increased by $70,627 in the 2000 fiscal year, to $400,980, as compared to $330,353 in the 1999 fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to the fact that our licensing activity increased during the 2000 fiscal year.
 
We recorded net income of $860,179 from operations in the 2000 fiscal year as compared to a net income from operations of $39,133 in the 1999 fiscal year. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in product sales and lower production costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
To date, we have financed our operations with cash from our operating activities, a bank line of credit, a loan from the Small Business Administration, various loans from individuals and a private offering of our common stock.
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001
 
At March 31, 2002, cash amounted to $34,449 as compared to $0 cash at March 31, 2001.
 
During the three month period ended March 31, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities was $202,802 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $342,330 during the three month period ended March 31, 2001.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $201,969 for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $211,073 for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. These amounts reflect the purchase of property and equipment.
 
Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $49,362 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $523,477 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The 2002 amount includes repayments of notes payable and our bank line of credit of $77,996 and changes in loans payable to an officer of $4,116. The 2001 amount includes proceeds from a note payable of $397,276, proceeds from a bank line of credit of $150,964 and changes in loans payable to an officer of $15,000.
 
2001 Fiscal Year Compared to 2000 Fiscal Year
 
At December 31, 2001, cash amounted to $82,978. Our primary sources of cash in fiscal 2001 consisted of cash provided by financing activities including $878,093, net of expenses, from the sale of our securities in the private offering undertaken on June 1, 2001. This was the first sale of our securities that we undertook for the purpose of raising capital. We also used our securities to pay for indebtedness incurred for professional and business services.
 
The primary uses of cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 consisted of licensing costs, general operating costs and expansion of our facility. We believe that cash generated by our current operations will be sufficient to continue our business for the next 12 months, however cash generated by current operations will not provide the means to allow us to expand operations by licensing a significant number of new works of anime, which are costly to obtain, or to implement our plan to produce musical concerts for the DVD format.
 
During the 2001 fiscal year, net cash used by operating activities was $221,018 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $932,222 during the 2000 fiscal year. Cash was used to increase sales, which resulted in an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and royalty advances.
 
Net cash used by investing activities was $744,095 for the 2001 fiscal year as compared to $863,526 for the 2000 fiscal year. These amounts reflect the purchase of property and equipment.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities during the 2001 fiscal year was $1,018,165 as compared to net cash used by financing activities of $96,753 for the 2000 fiscal year. Financing activities in the 2001 fiscal year consisted primarily of proceeds in the amount of $878,093 derived from a private offering of our common stock and proceeds of approximately $496,836 from a bank line of credit. Net cash used in financing activities for the 2000 fiscal year included payment of a dividend in the amount of $222,389 to our stockholders, payment of promissory notes in the amount of $690,541 and changes in loans payable to an officer in the amount of $136,810.

27


Table of Contents
 
The net increase in accounts receivable of $532,414 was primarily due to the fact that our sales in the fourth quarter amounted to $1.9 million. Because of our increased sales, accounts payable increased by $191,650, to $1,258,797.
 
2000 Fiscal Year Compared to 1999 Fiscal Year
 
At December 31, 2000, cash amounted to $29,976. Our primary sources of cash in the 2000 fiscal year consisted of $932,222 in cash provided by operating activities and net proceeds from a Small Business Administration loan made to us by Imperial Bank of $900,000.
 
The primary uses of cash for the year ended December 31, 2000 consisted of repayment of debt totaling $827,351 and a dividend to our stockholders of $222,389.
 
During the 2000 fiscal year, net cash provided by operating activities was $932,222 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $186,109 during the 1999 fiscal year.
 
Net cash used by investing activities was $863,526 for the 2000 fiscal year as compared to $645,085 for the 1999 fiscal year. These amounts reflect the purchase of property and equipment.
 
Net cash used by financing activities during the 2000 fiscal year was $96,753 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $445,219 for the 1999 fiscal year. The year 2000 amount includes payment of a dividend in the amount of $222,389 to our stockholders, payment of promissory notes in the amount of $690,541 and changes in loans payable to an officer in the amount of $136,810. The year 1999 amount includes an increase in a loan payable to a shareholder of $189,274 and an increase in our bank line of credit of $255,945.
 
The net decrease in accounts receivable of $226,167 was primarily due to an increase in the collection of accounts receivable. Accounts payable decreased by $86,087, to $1,067,147, due to repayments from increased earnings.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
NuTech Digital, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NuTech Digital, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NuTech Digital, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
 
NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business
 
NuTech Digital, Inc. was organized on June 12, 1997, under the laws of the state of California. The Company is engaged in creating, licensing and distributing general entertainment products, most of which are made available through digital versatile disc (“DVD”). The Company’s products include children’s animated films and video games, Karoake software, Japanese anime and late night programming.
 
Restatement of Common Stock
 
In May, 2001, the Company effected a stock split whereby each stockholder received 7,905 shares for every 1 share owned. The stock split has been retroactively recorded in the financial statements as if it occurred at the date of inception.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
 
The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based upon the following useful lives of the assets:
 
Completed Masters
  
7 years
Office furniture and equipment
  
7 years
Computer equipment
  
5–7 years
Warehouse equipment
  
7–10 years
Trade show equipment
  
7 years
Leasehold improvements
  
3–10 years
 
Accounting Estimates
 
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

See Accompanying Notes and Independent Auditors’ Report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
 
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to customers.
 
Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company has financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000 as defined in FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
 
Net Earnings Per Share
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net income per share are excluded.
 
Income Taxes
 
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
 
Common Stock Issued for Non-Cash Transactions
 
It is the Company’s policy to value stock issued for non-cash transactions, such as services, at the fair market value at the date the transaction is negotiated. The number of shares issued for the $25,500 of services rendered were negotiated before the private placement.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash

flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company’s policy is to classify shipping and handling costs as part of selling, general and administrative costs in the statements of income. These costs for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 amounted to $115,133 and $36,618, respectively.

NOTE 6.    LOAN PAYABLE, OFFICER
 
Periodically, the president of the Company will advance the Company funds to pay corporation obligations. The balance due to the officer is payable on demand, bears interest at 7% and is unsecured. The loan balance at December 31, 2001 was $4,116.
 
NOTE 7.    CUSTOMER DEPOSITS
 
In certain circumstances, the Company obtains a portion of the sales price when orders are received. These funds are recorded as customer deposits and are applied to the customer invoices when the merchandise is shipped.
 
NOTE 8.    INCOME TAXES
 
From January 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001, the Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders of an S corporation are taxed based on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for U. S. corporation income taxes has been computed for the period from January 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001.
 
On June 1, 2001, the corporation became taxed as a C corporation. The provision for income tax for the year ended December 31, 2001 is estimated as follows:
 
Income tax estimated to be payable currently
  
$
33,509
Deferred income tax
  
 
1,400
    

Total provision
  
$
34,909
    

 
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes compared with the amounts at U.S. federal statutory rate is as follows:

Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and adequate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if actual future taxable income is lower than estimated, or if there are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.

The loan requires monthly payments of interest and principal with the agreement that the total loan and interest was to be paid on June 10, 1999.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
NuTech Digital, Inc.
 
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of NuTech Digital, Inc. as of March 31, 2002 and the related statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2002 in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of NuTech Digital, Inc.
 
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of NuTech Digital, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 2, 2002 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE
 
1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business
 
NuTech Digital, Inc. was organized on June 12, 1997, under the laws of the state of California. The Company is engaged in creating, licensing and distributing general entertainment products, most of which are made available through digital versatile disc (“DVD”). The Company’s products include children’s animated films and video games, Karoake software, Japanese anime and late night programming.
 
Restatement of Common Stock
 
In May, 2001, the Company effected a stock split whereby each stockholder received 7,905 shares for every 1 share owned. The stock split has been retroactively recorded in the financial statements as if it occurred at the date of inception.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivables is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any possible losses.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
 
MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001
(UNAUDITED)

 
The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based upon the following useful lives of the assets:
 
Completed masters
  
7 years
Office furniture and equipment
  
7 years
Computer equipment
  
5–7 years
Warehouse equipment
  
7–10 years
Trade show equipment
  
7 years
Leasehold improvements
  
3–10 years
 
Accounting Estimates
 
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to customers.
 
Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company has financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 as defined in FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgement is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
 
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded.
 
Income Taxes
 
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001
(UNAUDITED)

 
Common Stock Issued for Non-Cash Transactions
 
It is the Company’s policy to value stock issued for non-cash transactions, such as services, at the fair market value at the date the transaction is negotiated.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company’s policy is to classify shipping and handling costs as part of selling, general and administrative costs in the statements of income. These costs for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $28,476 and $10,852, respectively.

6.    INCOME TAXES
 
From January 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001, the Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders of an S corporation are taxed based on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for U. S. corporation income taxes has been computed for the period from January 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001.
 
On June 1, 2001, the corporation became taxed as a C corporation. The provision for income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is estimated as follows:
 
Income tax estimated to be refunded currently

Deferred income tax (benefit)
  
 
(57,426

Total tax (benefit)

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes compared with the amounts at U.S. federal statutory rate is as follows:

Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and adequate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if actual future taxable income is lower than estimated, or if there are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 24.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
 
a.    Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law permits the indemnification of a corporation’s agents (which includes officers and directors) because the agent is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was an agent of the corporation or because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of a corporation. If the agent is successful on the merits in defense of any action or proceeding, the corporation must indemnify the agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in such defense.
 
b.    Article V of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the liability of directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. This provision requires the Registrant to indemnify directors, as permitted by law, in excess of Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law.
 
c.    Article VI of the Registrant’s bylaws provides that the Registrant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law, have power to indemnify each of its agents (which is defined to include any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant) against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law. In this regard, the Registrant has the power to advance to any officer or director expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item
 
28.    Undertakings.
 
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 that the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, 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:
 
1.    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement;
 
(iii)  To include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
