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 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. |
We must replace our bank financing. The replacement financing, if we are able to
obtain it, will cost us more money and may not be available to us when we need it. If we cannot obtain financing when we need it, our business, operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.
Our line of credit in the amount of $650,000 with U.S. Bank N.A. required us to comply with stringent financial covenants. We are
currently in breach of these covenants, and U.S. Bank has asked us to make arrangements to pay the line of credit in full. We are in the process of negotiating with a lender for accounts receivable financing. If we are successful in arranging the
financing, we will use it to pay a substantial portion of the line of credit. Our President, Mr. Lee Kasper, has agreed to pay that portion of the line of credit which will not be paid with this financing.
The loss of our line of credit will result in the payment of higher finance charges in connection with the accounts receivable
financing. Furthermore, any decrease in our accounts receivable will reduce the amount of financing we are able to obtain. A significant reduction in the amount that we can finance would reduce our ability to expand our film and anime library, which
would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
3
We are currently negotiating the terms of the accounts receivable financing.
If we are unable to obtain the accounts receivable financing, we will be required to seek other forms of financing, such as private loans or through the sale of our securities. If we were unable to find any form of financing, and U.S. Bank declared
our loan in default and successfully foreclosed on its security, we would be unable to continue our operations.
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. By the end of the 2002 fiscal year, we anticipate that we must add a webmaster, a chief financial officer and a sales representative.
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, 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. Kaspers or Mr. Giarmos 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.
4
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 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.
Many of our products include sexually explicit content, which may subject us to additional future regulation or other legal challenges.
Many 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 childrens 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.
5
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.
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.
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 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 shareholders 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 NuTechs 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.
Our Articles of Incorporation permit us to issue shares of preferred stock. By
issuing preferred stock, we may be able to delay, defer or prevent a change of control.
Our Articles
of Incorporation permit us to issue shares of preferred stock. Our Articles of Incorporation also permit our Board of Directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the preferred stock and to
fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series without further action by our shareholders.
6
Depending on the rights, preferences and privileges granted when the
preferred stock is issued, it may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of NuTech without further action by the shareholders, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price of the
common stock and may adversely affect the market price of and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
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.
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-dealers duties in selling the stock, the customers 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 customers 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.
The price of the common stock offered by the selling
shareholders has been arbitrarily determined. You may not rely on this price as an indication of the purchase.
The price of the common stock offered for sale by the selling shareholders was arbitrarily determined. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. As of June 30,
2002 we had 10,248,550 shares outstanding and the book value of each share was $0.08. The price of our common stock may decline after the offering.
7
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 Managements 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.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established public market for the shares of
common stock that we are registering. 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.
8
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, Saratoga Capital Corporation, our distribution agent in
Asia and Elynor Kasper, Mr. Lee Kaspers mother. Information concerning the acquisition of our stock by the selling shareholders is as follows:
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.
During the second quarter of 2001, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to Mrs. Elynor Kasper in exchange for
the surrender of certain contract rights having a value of $3,000, 350,000 shares of our common stock to Ms. Leora Kimble, our bookkeeper, for the payment of services having a value of $10,500 and 400,000 shares of our common stock to
Saratoga Capital Corporation, our product acquisition agent in Asia, in exchange for services having a value of $12,000.
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.
In December 2001 our legal counsel, Pollet, Richardson & Patel, accepted 53,333 shares of our common stock in exchange for services having a value of $80,000.

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.

This is our initial public offering. We are registering a total of
3,430,030 shares of our common stock which are being offered by the selling shareholders. 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 OTC Bulletin Board. Until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the selling
shareholders will sell at a price of $1.50 per share. If we are successful in having our shares traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, the selling shareholders will be able to sell their shares from time to time at prevailing market prices or privately
negotiated prices.
Any of the selling shareholders, acting alone or in concert with one another, may be
considered statutory underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933. For instance, a selling shareholder may be deemed to be an underwriter if he provides us with cash proceeds from the sales of his securities. If any of the selling shareholders are
determined to be underwriters, they may be liable for securities violations in connection with any material misrepresentation or omission made in this prospectus.
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.
In accordance with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the selling shareholders may not bid for, purchase or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase any of
our common stock while they are selling stock in this offering. The selling shareholders do not intend to engage in any passive market making or to 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.
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.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Common Stock
The securities being offered 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 shareholder 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 shareholders common stock upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the
shareholders desire to transfer his common stock to a third party or upon the shareholders 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 are immediately exercisable. 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 the issuance of common stock as a dividend on shares of common stock, a combination of the common stock into a smaller number of
shares, or pursuant to a recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization. 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.
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 shareholders.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law permits the indemnification of a corporations 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.
In 1993 Mr. Lee Kasper founded NuTech Entertainment, Inc. to license and
distribute karaoke software. Mr. Kasper was the sole shareholder of NuTech Entertainment, Inc. In 1997, Mr. Kasper began to license and distribute films and, for that purpose, incorporated NuTech Digital, Inc. NuTech Digital, Inc. began selling
films in May 1997. In 1999, in order to reduce expenses, Mr. Kasper combined the business of NuTech Entertainment, Inc. with the business of NuTech Digital, Inc. To accomplish this, the assets of NuTech Entertainment, Inc. were distributed to Mr.
Kasper, its sole shareholder, who subsequently transferred the assets into NuTech Digital, Inc. NuTech Entertainment, Inc. ceased doing business in 1999 and was dissolved in 2001.

NuTech Digital, Inc. engages in licensing and distributing
general entertainment products for children and adults. Our products include childrens animated films and video games, karaoke software, Japanese anime and late night programming. Our primary source of revenue comes from our sales of adult
entertainment, which includes late night programming and hentai, a form of Japanese anime for adults. During 2001, hentai accounted for approximately 42% of our sales and late night programming accounted for approximately 18% of our sales. Our
karaoke products accounted for approximately 31.76% of our sales in 2001. We distribute our products throughout the world via retail stores, the Internet, and wholesale distributors. Approximately 3% of our products are distributed outside the
United States, with no concentration in any particular country or geographic area. Approximately 2% of our sales are made over the Internet. We also facilitate authoring services to content providers in the entertainment industry. Our products are
replicated for us by third parties.
Our Products
Our film products are sold in two formats, digital versatile disc, commonly known as DVD, and VHS tapes. Our karaoke products are also sold in two formats, DVD and CD + G.
In 2001, sales of our DVD film products totaled 344,550 units, which accounted for approximately 42.69% of our sales, while sales of films on VHS tape totaled 11,666 units, which accounted for approximately 1.45% of our sales. Of these amounts,
sales of Japanese anime, including hentai, represented approximately 50.73% of all DVDs sold and approximately 89.97% of all VHS tapes sold. In 2001, sales of our CD + G karaoke products totaled 447,907 units, which accounted for approximately
55.49% of our sales while sales of our DVD karaoke products totaled 2,997 units, which accounted for approximately 0.37% of our sales.
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 132 anime titles, including erotic feature films, action/adventure films and horror films.
Anime comes to
us as an original completed master and artwork with Japanese dialogue tracks. We have the script translated into English, hire voice-over actors to dub the dialogue in English and subtitle the work, and create a finished master for DVD and VHS
formats. We also create menus for the DVD products and redesign the artwork for the packaging.
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
18
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 hentai anime products, so that we currently have 84 hentai titles, and we intend to use the proceeds of this offering to acquire the rights to an additional 100 hentai animated titles.
Childrens Animated Films and Games
We acquired 27 classic childrens 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 anime products targeted to children and teens come to us in English. We enhance the soundtrack by adding DTS sound, create
menus, add interactive games, and create the artwork for the packaging. Once this is complete, we create the new master for replication.
Our childrens 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. If a song is recorded on CD + G (compact disc plus graphics), the lyrics are displayed on a colored background. If a song is recorded on DVD, the lyrics
are displayed over moving images.
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 receive the original completed karaoke masters and
artwork ready for replication from the copyright holders. Alternatively, we may license the rights to the original songs from the copyright holders. In this case, we record the music, add subtitles, compile the songs and create the master of the
finished product for replication.
We license and distribute 256 volumes of karaoke software in DVD and CD+G
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. Our CD + G and DVD products include lyrics that appear on a video or television screen. We contract for the reproduction of audiocassette music, which is produced by us or by an independent producer.
19
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.
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 receive the original completed master and artwork of a film. We
send the master to a replicator to produce a tape which is then used to manufacture the work in DVD and VHS formats.
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 $887,715 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 facilitate 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 film 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 and have taken no action to implement this plan. When we have adequate funds to begin filming live music concerts, we anticipate that our initial efforts will take place in southern California.
Our Suppliers and Customers
We obtain exclusive rights to our Japanese anime products primarily from three vendors who produce the works and license them outside of Japan. We license our late night entertainment and our karaoke products from the producers or
other copyright holders of those works.
We replicate our films and music 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.
20
We distribute our products throughout the world via retail stores, the
Internet and wholesale distributors. Internet sales are made through our websites as well as through the websites of some of our wholesale distributors. Approximately 31.5% of the retail outlets in which we sell our products are located in
California, approximately 5% are located in New York and approximately 4% are located in Florida. The remainder are located throughout the United States and are not concentrated in any particular area. Approximately 3% of our products are
distributed outside the United States, with no concentration in any particular country or geographic area. Approximately 2% of our sales are made over the Internet. We sell our karaoke products through our website, www.karaokedvd.net, and we
sell our adult films and hentai through our website, www.nutechdvd.com. We do not have distribution agreements with our wholesale distributors or with the retail outlets. Our sales are not concentrated in any particular geographic area.
During the 2001 fiscal year, sales made to a single distributor of karaoke software represented
approximately 10.4% of all revenues earned from sales for that year and 23% of all revenues earned from sales for the previous 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.
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.
Our common stock is expected to trade on the over-the-counter electronic
bulletin board and, therefore, is subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a
penny stock. A penny stock is generally defined as any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
The penny stock rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated
therewith and impose various sales requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. An accredited investor is generally defined as an investor with a net worth in
excess of $1,000,000, or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse.
Pursuant to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchasers written consent
to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotation for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must
disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market. This information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must
be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from
effecting transactions in our common stock which could severely limit the market liquidity of the common stock.
21
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.
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.
22
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We believe that consumers are using, and will continue to use, their discretionary income to build their film libraries, as they do with
music and books. In the year 2000, consumers spent $7.38 billion for VHS tapes and $3.41 billion for DVDs. We also believe that the audience for anime will continue to grow worldwide, and that our investment in anime is well-timed. We are currently
in breach of our loan covenants and have agreed to repay our line of credit to our lender, U.S. Bank N.A. Until we find alternative financing, our inability to use our line of credit will have a material impact on our short-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
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
Our revenues from operations for the first six months of 2002 were $2,254,212, as compared to revenues of $1,799,299 for the first six
months of 2001, an increase of $454,913 or approximately 20%. The increase in revenues was due 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 six months of 2002 increased to $1,447,489 as compared to $1,308,521 for the
first six months of 2001. Our gross margin for the first six months of 2002 was 64%, as compared to 73% for the first six months of 2001. This decline in gross margin resulted from our decision to market our hentai products in boxed sets, which we
sold to our distributors and retailers at a discount of 10%. Our decision to market our hentai products in boxed sets resulted in an increase in our costs of sales for the first six months of 2002. During that period, costs of sales was $806,723 as
compared to $490,778 for the first six months of 2001.
Selling, general and administrative costs
increased by $622,965, to $1,894,889, for the first six months of 2002, as compared to $1,271,924 for the first six months of 2001, approximately a 49% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to expenses associated with the growth of our
business as follows:

Interest expense increased by $12,382 in the first six
months of 2002, to $126,531, as compared to $114,149 in the first six months of 2001. This increase was primarily due to the fact that we borrowed more on our lines of credit to finance our increased sales.
We recorded a net loss of $542,414 from operations in the first six months of 2002, as compared to a loss of $77,552 in the first six
months of 2001. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to the fact that we changed our status from an S corporation to a C corporation, resulting in the payment of compensation to our
23
President, we added the position of Software Systems Programmer in April 2001, and, as a result of the payment of these two salaries, we experienced an increase in our payroll and payroll taxes.
We also changed our location in June 2001, which resulted in an increase in rent.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and for part of the year ended December 31, 2001 we were taxed as a C corporation. A C corporation pays taxes on the income it earns. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, we were taxed as
an S corporation. An S corporation does not pay tax on its incomeinstead, the tax is paid by the corporations shareholders. As a result of our net loss, we had a tax benefit of $31,517 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Management
believes it is more likely than not that this tax benefit can be recovered in future periods. Because we were an S corporation during the six months ended June 30, 2001, we owed no income tax.

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, as follows:

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 which totaled $261,448, our change of status from an S
corporation to a C corporation for tax reporting purposes resulting in corporation income taxes of $34,909 and in the payment of a salary, rather than a dividend, in the amount of $180,000 to our Chief Executive Officer and President, and
depreciation costs of $539,099 associated with new licenses.
For the period from January 1, 2001 to May 31, 2001
we were taxed as an S corporation. For the period from June 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001 we were taxed as a C corporation. A C corporation pays taxes on the income it earns. An S corporation does not pay tax on its incomeinstead, the tax
is paid by the corporations shareholders.

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.
Our bank
line of credit is in the amount of $650,000. Interest accrues at the rate of 1.75% over prime. We currently make monthly interest payments of approximately $3,600. Our agreement with the lender, U.S. Bank, N.A., required us to comply with stringent
financial covenants, including debt to equity ratios, a tangible net worth covenant and a working capital covenant. We are currently in breach of these covenants, and U.S. Bank has asked us to make arrangements to pay the line of credit in full.
U.S. Bank has not made a demand that the loan be paid in full by a certain date, it has not declared the loan in default and it has not made an effort to foreclose on its security. We are in the process of negotiating with a lender for accounts
receivable financing. If we are successful in arranging the financing, we will use it to pay a substantial portion of the line of credit. Our President, Mr. Lee Kasper, has agreed to pay that portion of the line of credit which will not be paid with
this financing. U.S. Bank has agreed to this plan to repay the line of credit.
The principal amount of the

The Company is committed to royalties ranging from 20% to 30% on
specific royalty contracts.
25
In August 1998 we entered into an agreement with Ritek Corporation whereby we
received an advance in the amount of $400,000 against royalties to be earned through the sale of the childrens game, Shadoan. We also agreed to pay simple interest of 8.5% per year on the advance amount. We used this money to
acquire the license for the game as well as for working capital. As consideration for the advance, we agreed that, so long as the advance amount was outstanding, our ownership of the license to the game would be shared equally with Ritek
Corporation. We further agreed to retain the services of Ritek Corporation to replicate the game, at a per disc price that was competitive in our industry. Ritek Corporation agreed that we could repay the advance by paying a per-disc charge of $2
over the replication price. If we fail to make payments in accordance with our agreement, Ritek Corporation is entitled to give us notice of default. If we fail to pay the principal amount within 10 days after we receive the notice, we are required
to forfeit our ownership rights in the license to Ritek Corporation. We have derived minimal revenues from the game and we have not repaid the advance in accordance with our agreement. We have, however, made interest payments. As of March 31, 2002,
the unpaid balance of the advance was $412,749. Ritek Corporation has not given us notice of default and has not asked us to transfer our rights to the license. If we were required to transfer our license to the game to Ritek Corporation, it would
not have a significant impact on our revenues or the results of our operations. We intend to repay the advance to Ritek Corporation.
Our capital requirements, particularly as they relate to expanding our film and anime library, have been and will continue to be significant. Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available
funds will depend on many factors, including the pace at which we expand our business generally, and our film library in particular, the general state of the economy, which impacts the amount of money that may be spent for entertainment, our ability
to negotiate favorable license agreements with producers and copyright holders of various works and the continued popularity of anime.
Our line of credit in the amount of $650,000 with U.S. Bank N.A. required us to comply with stringent financial covenants, including debt to equity ratios, a tangible net worth covenant and a working
capital covenant. We are currently in breach of these covenants, and U.S. Bank has asked us to make arrangements to pay the line of credit in full. U.S. Bank has not made a demand that the loan be paid in full by a certain date, it has not declared
the loan in default and it has not made an effort to foreclose on its security We are in the process of negotiating with a lender for accounts receivable financing. If we are successful in arranging the financing, we will use it to pay a substantial
portion of the line of credit. Our President, Mr. Lee Kasper, has agreed to pay that portion of the line of credit which will not be paid with this financing.
The loss of our line of credit will result in the payment of higher finance charges in connection with the accounts receivable financing. Furthermore, any decrease in our
accounts receivable will reduce the amount of financing we can obtain.
We are currently negotiating the
terms of the accounts receivable financing. If we are unable to obtain the accounts receivable financing, we will be required to seek other forms of financing, such as private loans or through the sale of our securities, to pay the line of credit.
If we were unable to find any form of financing, and U.S. Bank declared our loan in default and was successful in foreclosing on its security, we would be unable to continue our operations.
If we are able to arrange accounts receivable financing and repay our line of credit, we believe that we would be able to maintain our current operations for the
next 12 months solely with our cash and cash equivalents, although we would be required to curtail the expansion of our film library and we would not be able to embark on our plan to record popular music concerts. However, because it is our
intention to continue to expand our film library and, if possible, to implement our plan to record music concerts, it is likely that, during the next 12 month period, we will seek financing from one or more sources such as lending institutions,
private individuals, or by sales of our securities. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June
30, 2001
During the six month period ended June 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities
was $9,185 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $424,341 during the six month period ended June 30, 2001. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, cash was provided by operating activities due to sales increases, collection
of accounts receivable and an increase in credit from our suppliers. For the six month period ended June 30, 2001, cash was used by operating activities due to a reduction in accounts payable and increases in advance royalty payments.
Net cash used by investing activities was $387,889 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $431,007
for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. Cash used by investing activities was used principally for the acquisition of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $296,720 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $825,422 for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The 2002 amount includes funds received from bank financing including a bank overdraft in the amount of $137,366. The 2001 amount includes proceeds from notes payable and bank financing including a bank overdraft of $110,760.
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 for operating activities because our net profit decreased by $692,998 and our sales increased by $834,559 over the prior year. Due to our increased sales, we extended more credit for
accounts receivables, increased our inventories and entered into more royalty agreements.
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 expenditures of $467,561 for completed masters, $189,562 for computers, furniture and equipment and $86,972 for
leasehold improvements.
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 shareholders, 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 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.
27
In order to fund working capital requirements, we have from time
to time borrowed money on an unsecured basis from persons who are executive officers, directors and/or beneficial holders of 5% or more of our common stock, or their affiliates. As of the date of this prospectus, our unpaid principal indebtedness to
these persons is set forth below.
In March 2001, we entered into an arrangement with our Vice-President, Mr.
Joseph Giarmo, whereby Mr. Giarmo advanced funds in the amount of $60,000 for the acquisition of licensing rights to certain films. Mr. Giarmo receives $0.25 for each VHS or DVD unit of the films that are sub-licensed by us. Our obligation
under this agreement will terminate once we have paid to Mr. Giarmo a total of $120,000. To date, Mr. Giarmo has been paid $10,000 in accordance with this arrangement.
In May 2001, we obtained 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. Brandon Kasper is Mr.
Lee Kaspers son.
In May 2001, we obtained 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. Ryan Kasper is Mr. Lee Kaspers son.
In May
2001, we obtained 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. Jordan Kasper is Mr. Lee Kaspers son.
In October 2000, we received an unsecured loan in the amount of $100,000 from Mrs. Elynor Kasper, Mr. Lee Kaspers mother. Simple interest accrues on this loan at
the rate of 10% per year. The unpaid principal balance of this loan is $60,000. We are current on all interest payments. This loan is payable on demand. To date, no demand for payment has been made.
Aside from the foregoing loans, we have also entered into the following transactions with our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr.
Lee Kasper, or with our Vice President and Secretary, Mr. Joseph Giarmo.
In July 2000, Mr. Kasper, provided both
his personal residence and his personal guaranty as security for a loan in the amount of $900,000 which we borrowed through the Small Business Administration. The terms of this loan are discussed in this prospectus at page 25.
In March 2002, Mr. Kasper also agreed to personally guarantee our bank line of credit in the amount of $650,000. The terms of
this loan are discussed in this prospectus at page 25.
In July 2000 we issued 50 pre-split shares of our
common stock to Mr. Giarmo for extraordinary services he rendered to us during his employment. Concurrent with this stock issuance, we entered into a Corporate Control and Shareholder Buy/Sell Agreement with Mr. Giarmo. This agreement allows us or
our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lee Kasper, the right to purchase Mr. Giarmos common stock upon the occurrence of certain events such as his death, the termination of his employment with us, or his voluntary or involuntary
transfer of the common stock. This agreement will terminate upon the date that our registration statement on Form SB-2 is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
At this time there is no public trading market for our common stock.
We currently have a total of 10,380,169 shares of our common stock outstanding.
We also have outstanding warrants that were issued in conjunction with a private offering of our common stock undertaken on June 1, 2001. These warrants, if exercised, would permit shareholders to
purchase an additional 703,444 shares of our common stock. These warrants may be exercised until November 1, 2002, at which time they will expire if not exercised. The price for each share of common stock purchased in accordance with the warrants is
$3.00.
Upon completion of this offering, assuming all of the warrants are exercised, we will have outstanding
11,083,613 shares of common stock, of which 3,430,030 will be freely tradable, without restriction, except for restrictions imposed by certain state regulatory authorities. We issued the remaining 7,600,250 shares of outstanding common stock in
private transactions in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act. Those shares may be sold only if we file a registration statement or if there is an applicable exemption from registration. Rule 144 of the Securities Act
of 1933 is not available for the resale of our common stock. Other than the common stock being registered for the selling shareholders in this offering, we have no agreement with any shareholder to register our securities.
In accordance with the NuTech Digital, Inc. 2001 Equity Incentive Plan we have also issued options to employees to purchase a total of
1,705,000 shares of our common stock. The options will expire 10 years from the date of grant, with the exception of options granted to our Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Lee Kasper, whose options will expire 5 years from the date of
grant. The price for each share of common stock purchased pursuant to the options is $1.50.
Holders
We currently have 50 record holders of our common stock.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends (with the
exception of dividends paid to our founder and Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Lee Kasper, while NuTech was an S corporation for tax reporting purposes) and we currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and
growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition and capital requirements, applicable restrictions under any credit facilities or other contractual
arrangements and such other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. No shares of preferred stock have
been issued and we have no plans, at present, to issue any preferred stock. Under our Articles of Incorporation, our preferred stock is issuable in series and our Board of Directors is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions granted to, or imposed upon the preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series without further action by our shareholders.
29
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of NuTech without further action by the shareholders, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price of the common stock and may adversely affect the market price of and the voting and
other rights of the holders of commons stock.

(2) |
|
These amounts represent expenses paid in connection with Mr. Kaspers automobile. |
We do not have a long term incentive plan or arrangement of compensation with any individual in the group of officers and directors.
Directors are not currently paid compensation for their services. Our bylaws permit us to compensate our
directors, however, upon resolution of the Board of Directors.
Employment Agreements
We have no employment agreements with our named executive officers, who provide their services to us on an at-will basis.
Equity Incentive Plan
Our Board of Directors and our shareholders have approved the NuTech Digital, Inc. 2001 Equity Incentive Plan which permits us to grant, for a ten year period, both stock purchase rights and stock options. We have currently reserved
3,500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance to our directors, employees and consultants under the Plan. In January of each year we are permitted to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for awards to an amount that does not
exceed 30% of all of our issued and outstanding shares. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, who will be referred to as the Administrator. The Administrator has the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of
the Plan, to select persons to whom stock purchase rights or options will be granted, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each option or stock
31
purchase right, to specify the type of consideration to be paid, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each option or stock purchase right. Options granted under the Plan will not
have a term that exceeds ten years from date of grant. As of the date of this prospectus, we have granted 1,705,000 awards under the Plan.
The following tables set forth certain information concerning the granting and exercise of incentive stock options during the last completed fiscal year by each of the named executive officers and the fiscal year-end value
of unexercised options on an aggregated basis:

70,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50. These grants were made through the NuTech Digital, Inc. 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
(REISSUED)
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 Companys products include childrens 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 |
|
57 years |
Warehouse equipment |
|
710 years |
Trade show equipment |
|
7 years |
Leasehold improvements |
|
310 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.

NUTECH DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
DECEMBER 31,
2001 AND 2000
(REISSUED)
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 Companys 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.

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

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
Companys 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:

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.

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 June 30, 2002 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the statement of stockholders equity for the six months ended
June 30, 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
JUNE 30, 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 licensing and distributing general entertainment products, most of which are made available through digital versatile disc
(DVD). The Companys products include childrens 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.
See Accompanying Notes and Independent Accountants Review Report.

NUTECH DIGITAL, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
JUNE 30,
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 |
|
57 years |
Warehouse equipment |
|
710 years |
Trade show equipment |
|
7 years |
Leasehold improvements |
|
310 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 June 30, 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.
See Accompanying Notes and Independent Accountants Review Report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
JUNE 30,
2002 AND 2001
(UNAUDITED)
Common Stock Issued for Non-Cash Transactions
It is the Companys 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 assets carrying value and fair value. This standard did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Companys 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 six months ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 amounted to $53,059 and $33,277, respectively.

the net sales proceeds. Royalty costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $320,874 and $120,242, respectively.

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 Companys 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 June 30, 2002 is estimated as follows:

11. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN |
The Board of Directors and stockholders approved the NuTech Digital, Inc. 2001 Equity Incentive Plan which permits the Board of Directors to grant, for a ten year period,
both stock purchase rights and stock options. The Company has reserved 3,500,000 shares of its common stock for issuance to the directors, employees and consultants under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The
administrator has the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to select persons to whom stock purchase rights or options will be granted, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each option or stock purchase
right, to specify the type of consideration to be paid, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each option or stock purchase right. Options granted under the Plan will not have a term that exceeds ten years from date of grant. On April
15, 2002, the Company granted 1,705,000 options at $1.50 per share.
NOTE 12. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
The stock subject to the plan and issuable upon exercise of options granted under the plan are
shares of the corporation's common stock, no par value, which may be either unissued, restricted or grants of options to purchase shares of common stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock covered by the plan and issuable upon exercise
of all options granted shall be 3,500,000 shares, which shares shall be reserved for use upon the exercise of options to be granted from time to time.
The exercise price is the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant of the options.
Vesting terms of the options range from five to ten years.
The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options granted to employees at fair market value.

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
corporations 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 Registrants 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 Registrants 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.

26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On July 31, 2000 the Registrants
Board of Directors issued to Mr. Joseph Giarmo, the Registrants Vice-President and a director, 50 shares of the Registrants common stock as compensation for extraordinary services rendered by Mr. Giarmo to the Company, such services
having a value of $250. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These shares were issued prior to the stock split that the Registrant effected on May 4, 2001. After giving effect to
the stock split, Mr. Giarmo owned 392,250 shares of the Registrants common stock.
II-1
On May 4, 2001 the Registrants 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.
On May 31, 2001, the Registrant issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to Elynor Kasper in exchange for the release of certain contract rights. The Registrant determined
that the value of the contract rights was $3,000. On May 31, 2001, the Registrant also issued 350,000 shares of its common stock to Leora Kimble, in exchange for bookkeeping services rendered to the Registrant having a value of $10,500. Finally, on
May 31, 2001, the Registrant issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Saratoga Capital Corporation, its distributor in Asia, for services rendered to the Registrant having a value of $12,000. The Registrant determined that the value of the
common stock on May 31, 2001 was $ .03 per share. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On June 1, 2001, the Registrant began a private offering of its securities, pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Section 506 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder. In selling the Securities, the Registrant provided non-financial and financial statement information to the investors, did not offer or sell the securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and advised each
investor that the securities could not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. These securities were sold with the assistance of broker-dealers to persons who represented that they were accredited
investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Each investor who purchased shares of common stock to 38 investors in this offering received a warrant to purchase a like number of additional shares. The unit price was $1.50 per
share. The warrant exercise price is $3.00 per share. The warrants, if not exercised, will expire on November 1, 2002. The Registrant sold a total of 703,444 shares of its common stock in the offering. In addition to the shares sold, the Registrant
issued a total of 208,142 shares of common stock to broker-dealers and advisors in connection with the offering. Broker-dealers were also paid a commission of 10%. Our legal counsel, Pollet, Richardson & Patel, subscribed to this offering by
accepting 53,333 shares of our common stock in exchange for services that had been rendered to us having a value of $80,000.
On September 13, 2001 the Registrant agreed to convert $100,000 of debt owed to Sarah and LeBron Barkstelle to common stock. The debt was converted at the rate of one share of common stock for each $1.00 converted. The securities
were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On March 4, 2002,
Urbach Kahn & Werlin, Inc. agreed to convert $80,000 of debt for services rendered to the Registrant to the Registrants common stock on the condition that (i) the Registrant file a registration statement which includes Urback Kahn &
Werlin, Inc. as a shareholder selling 53,333 shares of common stock, and (ii) the Registration statement is declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission before October 1, 2002. The conversion was made at $1.50 per share. The
securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

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-3
(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.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each posteffective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a posteffective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
