Common Stock

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks.  See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders of 6,400,000 shares of our common stock and the exercise of options to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our 2004  Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. The selling stockholders will sell the shares from time to time at the fixed price of  $0.05 per share for the duration of the offering. The selling stockholders are deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of their common stock under this prospectus. We will pay the expenses of registering these shares. Currently 300,000 stock options have been issued to officers and directors at an exercise price of $0.05 and $0.055 per share.  Exercise price is based on fair market value at the time of issuance.

 

No public market currently exists for the shares of common stock.  In the event that our shares become quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board system, non-affiliated selling stockholders may sell their shares at then-prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.  We will receive proceeds of $0.05 or $0.055 per share from the exercise of stock options which have been granted to date.

 

As you review this prospectus, you should carefully consider the matters described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3.

 

The date of this prospectus is February 7, 2006

RISK FACTORS

 

This offering and an investment in our common stock involve a high degree of risk.  You should consider carefully the risks described below, which are the most significant risks we face based on our business and the industry in which we operate, before you decide to buy our common stock.  If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer.  In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

We have never been profitable and expect to incur future losses and experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future.  This may lead to a lack of liquidity, causing our business to fail and your investment to decline in value.

 

We have incurred a net loss of $15,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and we expect to incur losses throughout our fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.  As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability.  If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, we will continue to generate losses.  We also expect to continue to experience negative cash flow through the rest of 2005 as we continue to operate Salty’s Warehouse.  Currently, we do not have any arrangements with credit facilities and there is no guarantee that we will be able to access credit should we need to do so.

 

Our officers and directors work on our behalf only on a part-time basis. Because they do not devote their full time and attention to our business, this may negatively impact our business operations.

 

Our officers and directors devote only approximately five to ten hours a week working on our behalf.  Therefore they are not devoting their full time and attention to managing and expanding our operations.  This may cause us to miss business opportunities that we would otherwise be able to take advantage of.

 

We are solely dependent on the hosting of our website by Yahoo!® Store. Any discontinuation or interruption of service by Yahoo!® Store would significantly harm our business.

 

Our online store is hosted by Yahoo!® Store. Should Yahoo Store discontinue operations, or discontinue hosting our online store for any reason, we would be unable to make any sales or generate any revenues until we were able to reestablish our store with a different Internet commerce hosting service and there is no guarantee that we would be able to find such alternative hosting service. Additionally, any interruptions in services by Yahoo!® Store will prevent any sales by our online store for the duration of the interruption, costing us any revenues we would have made during that time. Our agreement with Yahoo!® Store is month to month and may be terminated by either party anytime.

 

Our business is subject to intense competition, and we may not be able to compete causing us to lose customers.

 

We face intense competition in selling consumer electronics and other name brand consumer products over the Internet, both from other Internet retailers and from “bricks and mortar” retailers.  Many of these competitors are larger, better known, and have significantly more resources than we do.  Our failure to compete with our competitors on the basis of price or service could significantly harm our business.  See “Business—Competition.”

 

We do not have a lease on our office, and if we lose this office, it will significantly disrupt our operations.

 

Our offices are furnished to us on a rent-free basis by Hudson Capital Group of which Steven W. Hudson, our Vice President and a member of the Board of Directors, is a principal.  We only have a verbal lease, revocable at any time, from Hudson Capital Group to use this office space.  That lease could be revoked at any time for any reason and if that lease is revoked, we will have to find an alternative office.  This would significantly disrupt our operations as well as require additional operating capital that we may not have available.  We would not be able to operate our business without adequate office.

Unless a public market develops for our common stock, you may not be able to sell your shares.

 

There is no public market for our common stock.  There can be no assurance, moreover, that an active trading market will ever develop or, if developed, that it will be maintained.  Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the price of our securities, and you may be unable to sell your shares.

 

If our stock does become publicly traded, we will likely be subject to the penny stock rule, and therefore it could be more difficult for you to sell your shares..

 

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).  The rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection with the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. If our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, investors in the offering may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

 

We may not qualify for Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board Quotation, and therefore you may be unable to sell your shares.

 

Upon completion of this offering, we will attempt to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (“OTCBB” or “Bulletin Board”).  The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the Securities Exchange Commission or applicable regulatory authority.  In order to be eligible to be listed on the OTCBB and to maintain such eligibility, the Company would be required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company would have to remain current in meeting its periodic securities reporting obligations.  If for any reason, however, any of our securities are not eligible for initial or continued quotation on the Bulletin Board or an active public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the shares may have difficulty selling their securities should they desire to do so.  If we are unable to satisfy the requirements for quotation on the Bulletin Board, any trading in our common stock would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the “pink sheets.”  As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the securities offered hereby.

 

4



 

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our shares of common stock could cause our stock price to decline.

 

We are registering approximately 40% of the Company’s stock in this offering.  If our stockholders sell a substantial number of their shares of our common stock pursuant to this offering, or the public market perceives that these sales may occur, the market price of our common stock could decline.

 

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms by other comparable terminology.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the stockholders’ shares offered by this prospectus.  All proceeds from the sale of the stockholders’ shares will be for the account of the selling stockholders.

 

We will receive $0.05 or $0.055 per option exercised pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan.  Should all 300,000 options covered by this registration statement be issued and exercised, we may receive up to $16,500 in proceeds.  As we cannot predict when or if we will receive such proceeds, we expect to use these proceeds, if received, for working capital purposes, which shall be allocated to projects or needs of the Company at such time.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock.  We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2005:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with “Selected Financial Data” and our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under “Risk Factors” on page 2 and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Overview

 

Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. sells consumer electronics products and other name brand consumer products over the Internet.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our financial statements.  The preparation of these statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financials statements.  We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and other sources that we believe to be reasonable at the time.  Actual results may vary from our estimates due to changes in circumstances, weather,politics, global economics, mechanical problems, general business conditions and other factors.  Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Results of Operations

 

You should read the selected financial data set forth below along with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” and our financial statements and the related notes.  We have derived the financial data from our audited and unaudited financial statements.  We believe the financial data shown in the table below include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such information.  Operating results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED).

 

REVENUE. Our net revenue amounted to $2,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  All revenues were from the sale of products on the Salty’s Warehouse web site.  This change in our revenues is primarily the result of the competitive environment in which we operate, which environment results in unanticipated fluctuations which the Company can neither predict, assess nor prevent.  Our net revenue is net of the wholesale price and shipping charges we pay to our suppliers for products sold on the web site.  Additionally, Yahoo!® Store charges us a half percent transaction based fee for every product sold over our website, further increasing these costs netted against revenues.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES. Our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $17,704 compared to $11,552 for the same period in the prior year.  Expenses consisted primarily of general operating expenses and professional fees. The increase in operating expenses is mostly attributable to our accounting and legal expenses associated with our SEC filing.  There was a one time payment of $9,000 in the form of 180,000 shares of common stock for services rendered during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, to one officer.

 

NET LOSS. Primarily as a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $15,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $9,718 for the same period in the prior year.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 (AUDITED).

 

REVENUE. Our net revenue amounted to $2,205 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $5,846 for the year ended December 31, 2003.  All revenues were from the sale of products on the Salty’s Warehouse web site.  Our management believes that the decrease in net sales from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to the competitive environment in which we operate, which environment results in unanticipated fluctuations which the Company can neither predict, assess nor prevent.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES. Our total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004  were $37,581 compared to $15,008 for the year ended December 31, 2003.  Expenses consisted primarily of general operating expenses and professional fees.  The increase in general operating expenses from 2003 to 2004 is mostly due to the one time payment of $9,000 in the form of 180,000 shares of common stock for services for services rendered during the year ended December 31, 2004, to one officer,  along with an increase in professional fees relating to our Registration Statement.

NET LOSS.  Primarily as a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $35,376 or basic and diluted net loss per common share of $0.00 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $9,162 or basic and diluted net loss per common share of $0.00 for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Liquidity And Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2005, we had working capital of $15,788 as compared with a net working capital deficit of $1,896 at September 30, 2004.  The improvement of our working capital is the direct result of our ability to raise $58,921, after costs, from the sale of 1,280,000 shares of our common stock to 52 investors in a private offering from June 23, 2004 through March 22, 2005.  At September 30, 2005, $31,011 of cash and cash equivalents was held in a special attorney’s trust account.

 

Net cash used for operating activities was $22,498 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Net cash was provided by the issuance of common stock, net of issuance costs.

 

Salty’s Warehouse generally does not hold inventory in the products we sell.  Net revenue as an agent from the sale of products (consisting primarily of automobile electronic equipment, home electronics, computer accessories and supplies) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer (product shipment) and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted and, thereby, have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.  At the time a customer orders a product on our web site, the customer pays for the product by credit card.  If the credit card is Visa or Mastercard we usually receive the funds within twenty-four hours.  However if the credit card is American Express or Discover, we receive the funds as part of an aggregated payment from the respective credit card company once a month.  The supplier invoices us when the product is actually shipped on terms requiring us to pay within 30 days.  So in most transactions, we will have already received payment from the customer before we must pay the supplier for the product that this customer has ordered.  Therefore, we do not have any significant requirements for capital to fund replenishing inventory.

 

Our only internal sources of liquidity that we have are our bank accounts and the future revenues we receive from the sale of products on our web site.  We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

The Company’s management relies solely on sales results to manage and assess the Company’s business. There are no other performance indicators, including non-financial performance indicators, upon which management relies.

 

Due to numerous economic and competitive risks, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon our operations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully generate significant revenues or achieve a level of profits which will permit us to stay in business.  However, we believe cash on hand plus cash generated from net revenues will be sufficient to fund all or our general and administrative expenses for the next twelve months.

 

Fluctuations in Operating Results; Seasonality

 

Annual and quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations may be caused by the timing and quantity of orders from our customers.  Our future results also may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to offer our services and applications at competitive prices.  Our results may also be affected by economic conditions in the geographical areas in which we operate.  All of the foregoing may result in substantial unanticipated quarterly earnings shortfalls or losses.

 

Inflation

 

We believe that our revenue and results of operations have not been significantly impacted by inflation since we began operations.

BUSINESS

 

Salty’s Warehouse

 

Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. was incorporated in Florida on July 16, 1998 and is engaged in selling name brand consumer products over the Internet.  Salty’s Warehouse focuses on selling consumer electronics and audio-video equipment such as speakers, amplifiers, and tuners, although Salty’s Warehouse also sells assorted other goods such as watches, sunglasses and sports games.  Some of the brand names currently offered by Salty’s Warehouse include:  Compaq®, Revo®, MB Quart®, Poly Planar®, Sony®, Panasonic®, Harman Kardon®, Panamax®, Seiko® and Movado®.

 

On May 10, 2002, two of the Salty’s Warehouse founders, Steve W. Hudson and Earl T. Shannon owned 100% of the outstanding stock of Salty’s Warehouse and sold 80% of this outstanding stock to Nucotec, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition.  Salty’s Warehouse was a subsidiary of Nucotec, Inc. from May 10, 2002 through March 19, 2004 when Nucotec was sold to a third party.  On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson, and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed that 5,110,200 of their shares of Nucotec would be redeemed by Nucotec in exchange for all of Nucotec’s shares of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

Salty’s Warehouse sells its products over the Internet.  Salty’s Warehouse is hosted by Yahoo!® Store.

 

With the exception of its inclusion on the Yahoo!® Store Shopping directory, Salty’s does not spend money on advertising, but instead relies on customer referrals and Internet search engine search results.

 

Our management believes that satisfied customers may refer new customers to Salty’s through direct referral or by posting on message boards.  Additionally, our management believes that Salty’s five star rating with Yahoo!® Store may be attractive to new customers.

 

At no cost to Salty’s Warehouse, the Salty’s Warehouse web site is listed by a number of the Internet search engines and directories, including Yahoo!®, Yahoo!® Store, Yahoo!®  Shopping, Google, Hotbot, Altavista, Dogpile, Overture, and Fastsearch.

 

Salty’s Warehouse does not normally own or store the items it lists for sale on its web site in inventory. Rather, all items are held in stock by the suppliers we purchase them from.  When we receive an order for a product, we fax it to the supplier that is providing this product on our behalf.  This supplier ships the product directly to the ordering customer and invoices us at the time of shipment with 30 day terms.  We obtain products through relationships with suppliers or we seek suppliers based on customer inquiries regarding specific products.

 

10



 

The hosting of our website by Yahoo!® Store is subject to a ongoing month-to-month merchant service agreement between Salty’s Warehouse and Yahoo!® Store.  This agreement requires Salty’s Warehouse to pay Yahoo!® Store a hosting fee in the amount of $49.95 per month, a monthly insertion fee in the amount of $0.10 for every product we make available for sale, a monthly transaction fee equal to 0.5% of total revenue generated and a monthly revenue share fee equal to 3.5% of revenue generated from any transactions stemming from traffic coming from the Yahoo!® Shopping directory on the www.yahoo.com web site.

 

Security Measures

 

Salty’s Warehouse has not implemented any technical measures on its web site to safeguard the data of its customers other than those provided by Yahoo!® Store as part of its hosting service for the Salty’s Warehouse website.

 

Privacy Policy

 

Salty’s Warehouse has adopted a privacy policy, posted on its web site, that it will not share personal information collected from its customers with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete an order.

 

Principal Suppliers

 

Our principal suppliers are Sawgrass Distributors, Inc., Esha, Inc., and U.S. Imaging Solutions.  We do not have any written agreements with them.  These suppliers ship products purchased on our web site directly to our purchasers.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We own the registered trademark, “Salty’s Warehouse,” registration number 2668148, registered on December 31, 2002 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  At this time, we do not have any other trademark, copyright or patent protection.

 

Competition

 

Although Salty’s Warehouse faces intense competition from numerous other Internet retailers, we believe that Salty’s Warehouse can compete on the basis of quality of service and providing products at low prices.

 

We believe that Salty’s Warehouse can compete on the basis of quality service by having its suppliers timely ship ordered products, by quickly and courteously responding to any customer inquiries or complaints, and by selling products with which customers will be satisfied. Salty’s Warehouse enjoys a five star customer service rating with Yahoo!® Store.  This means that Salty’s Warehouse participates in the Yahoo!® Store Customer Rating Program, and that customers who have ordered from Salty’s Warehouse have given it high ratings.

 

11



 

We believe that Salty’s Warehouse can compete on the basis of price by keeping prices down.  Because Salty’s Warehouse does not normally maintain an inventory and has its suppliers ship products directly to customers, Salty’s Warehouse has a low overhead relative to many other stores allowing it keep its prices low.

 

However, many of Salty’s Warehouse’s competitors are substantially larger, better financed and have superior resources compared to Salty’s Warehouse.  Therefore, there is no guarantee that Salty’s Warehouse will be able to successfully compete with them.

 

Salty’s Warehouse has numerous competitors.  Some of Salty’s Warehouse’s competitors are large companies selling a large variety of products, including products that compete with Salty’s Warehouse both on the Internet and through “bricks and mortar” stores.  Competitors in this category include Costco, Target, Kmart, Sears and Walmart.

 

Salty’s Warehouse also faces competition from and companies specializing in selling consumer electronic products, both on the Internet and through bricks and mortar stores. Competitors in this category include Radio Shack, Circuit City and Best Buy.

 

Another category of competitors is companies that sell competing products only online, such as Overstock.com, Amazon.com, and Audio Direct.

 

Facilities and Equipment

 

Our office encompasses 800 square feet located in a downtown Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in a building owned by Hudson Capital Group.  Our management believes these premises are in good condition.  Hudson Capital Group allows us to use this space free of charge.  Although the Hudson Capital Group can revoke our right to use this space at any time, we have been informed by its principal, Steven W. Hudson, that Hudson Capital Group intends to allow us to continue using the space free of charge for the foreseeable future.  However, should we be evicted from the space, we would need to relocate to new facilities and may lack the funds to do so.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we had a total of three employees.  If necessary, we hire seasonal workers on an as-needed basis.

 

Litigation

 

To the best knowledge of management, there are no litigation matters pending or threatened against us.

None of our officers or directors are currently receiving any cash compensation for their services.   However, in order to compensate our officers, we enacted an Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan on July 1, 2004.  Our stock option plan has a total of 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance as stock options. All issued options are 100% vested.  Other than our stock option plan, we do not currently have any arrangements or contracts pursuant to which our directors are compensated for any services, including any additional amounts payable for committee participation or special assignments.   No such arrangements were in effect between the Company and its directors for the Company’s completed last fiscal year, either.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued the following stock options:

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The laws of the State of Florida and our Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such capacities.  In general, directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Salty’s Warehouse, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe were unlawful.  Salty’s Warehouse has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

On May 1, 2002, Salty’s Warehouse bought back 10 shares of Salty’s Warehouse each from Mark Shannon and Ronald Shannon, brother and father, respectively, of Earl T. Shannon, the Company’s President, for $30 per share, counting $290 in paid-in capital by each of them. At the time of this transaction, these shares represented 20% of the outstanding shares of Salty’s Warehouse.  These shares were cancelled by Salty’s Warehouse.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders.  The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.  The selling stockholders may offer and sell the shares from time in negotiated transactions at a fixed price of $0.05 per share.  In the event that our shares become quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board system, non-affiliated selling stockholders may sell their shares at then-prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions.

 

The selling stockholders may sell their shares through registered broker-dealers by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods: (a) purchase by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account through this prospectus; or (b) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.  In addition, any shares that qualify for sale under Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather that through this prospectus.  In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

We have no public market for our common stock.  Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  Upon completion of this offering, we will have 16,300,000 outstanding shares of common stock.

 

All of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.  If shares are purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, their sales of shares would be subject to the limitations and restrictions that are described below.

 

All of the remaining shares of common stock outstanding were issued and sold by us in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become eligible for sale in the public market pursuant to Rule 144 as described below.

NOTES CONDENSED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The interim financial statements of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. are condensed and do not include some of the information necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the financial data. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included in the unaudited financial statements for the interim period presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005. Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in December 31, 2004 Annual Report and particularly to Note 1, which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.

 

On October 25, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to authorize a five for one (5:1) forward stock split.  All common share references have been adjusted for the 5 for 1 stock split.

 

Nature of Operations

 

Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. (The Company) was incorporated in Florida on July 16, 1998 and is engaged in selling name brand consumer products over the Internet.  The Company focuses on selling consumer electronics and audio-video equipment such as speakers, amplifiers, and tuners, although the Company also sells assorted other goods such as watches, sunglasses and sports games. Some of the brand names currently offered by Salty’s Warehouse include: Compaq®, Revo®, MB Quart®, Kicker®, Poly Planar®, Sony®, Panasonic®, Harman Kardon®, Panamax®, Seiko® and Movado®.

 

On May 10, 2002, two of the Salty’s Warehouse founders, SteveW. Hudson and Earl T. Shannon owned 100% of the outstanding stock of Salty’s Warehouse and sold 80% of this outstanding stock to Nucotec, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition. Salty’s Warehouse was a subsidiary of Nucotec, Inc. from May 10, 2002 through March 19, 2004 when Nucotec was sold to a third party.  On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed that 5,110,200 of their shares of Nucotec would be redeemed by Nucotec in exchange for all of Nucotec’s shares of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three equivalent months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

27



 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Current estimates include but are not limited to the value of options issued for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenues pursuant to SAB 101 – “Revenue Recognition” and EITF 99-19 – “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” Net revenue as an agent, from the sale of products (consisting primarily of automobile electronic equipment, home electronics, computer accessories and supplies) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer (product shipment) and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted and, thereby, have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company’s policy is to classify shipping and handling costs as part of cost of goods sold in the statement of operations.

 

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 bases 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.

 

28



 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. At September 30, 2005, the Company had stock options outstanding that could potentially be exercised into 300,000 additional shares.  Such potentially issuable shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Should the Company report net income in a future period, diluted net income per share will be separately disclosed giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if the then outstanding options were exercised and converted into common shares.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivables. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required.

 

Significant Suppliers

 

The Company relies on three suppliers for the products purchased and sold on the Company’s website.  The loss of any one of the suppliers could significantly effect the Company’s operations.

 

The Company also relies solely on the hosting of their website by Yahoo! ® Store.  Any discontinuation or interruption of service by Yahoo! ® Store would significantly effect the Company’s operations.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. At September 30, 2005, the Company had no inventory on hand.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

As permitted by FAS 123, as amended, the Company accounts for stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB 25.  Under this method no expense is recognized for options issued with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the stock on the date of grant.  Expense for options or warrants issued to non-employees is recorded in the financial statements at estimated fair value.  For options issued to employees, the Company is subject to proforma disclosures based on the estimated fair value of the options issued.

 

29



 

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock volatility. Because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 104, which was effective upon issuance, rescinded certain guidance contained in SAB No. 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangement, and replaced such guidance with that contained in EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Additionally, SAB No. 104 rescinded the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers issued with SAB No. 101. The revenue recognition principles of SAB No. 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB No. 104, and therefore the adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Shared Based Payment”. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issued No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring , or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” This Statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The Interpretation’s adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

Common Stock Issued For Services

NOTE 2           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Private Placement was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1933 and Rule 504 of Regulation D. Net proceeds received from the private placement are as follows:

NOTE 4           COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Our office encompasses 800 square feet in a building owned by Hudson Capital Group. Our management believes these premises are in good condition. Hudson Capital Group allows us to use this space, including the computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, free of charge. Although the Hudson Capital Group can revoke our right to use this space at any time, we have been informed by its principal, Steven Hudson, that Hudson Capital Group intends to allow us to continue using the space free of charge for the foreseeable future. However, should we be evicted from the space, we would need to relocate to new facilities and may lack the funds to do so.

 

NOTE 5           EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, which permits the Board of Directors to grant, for a year period, options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to directors, employees and consultants. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  The administrators have the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to select persons to whom stock options will be granted, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each option, to specify the type of consideration to be paid, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each option. Options granted under the Plan will not have a term that exceeds ten years from date of grant.

 

The stock subject to the Plan and issuable upon exercise of options granted under the Plan are shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, which may be either unissued or treasury shares.

 

The exercise price is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant of the options, as specified by the Board of Directors.

 

A summary of the option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the Plan is as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Stockholders and Directors

Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financials statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in the Note 2.  The financials statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SALTY’S WAREHOUSE, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

On October 25, 2005 the company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to authorize a five for one (5:1) forward stock split. All common share references have been adjusted for the five for one stock split.

 

Nature of Operations

 

Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. (The Company) was incorporated in Florida on July 16, 1998 and is engaged in selling name brand consumer products over the Internet.  The Company focuses on selling consumer electronics and audio-video equipment such as speakers, amplifiers, and tuners, although the Company also sells assorted other goods such as watches, sunglasses and sports games. Some of the brand names currently offered by Salty’s Warehouse include: Compaq®, Revo®, MB Quart®, Poly Planar®, Sony®, Panasonic®, Harman Kardon®, Panamax®, Seiko® and Movado®.

 

On May 10, 2002, two of the Salty’s Warehouse founders, Steve W. Hudson and Earl T. Shannon owned 100% of the outstanding stock of Salty’s Warehouse and sold 80% of this outstanding stock to Nucotec, Inc., a Nevada corporation, through a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition. Salty’s Warehouse was a subsidiary of Nucotec, Inc. from May 10, 2002 through March 19, 2004 when Nucotec was sold to a third party.  On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed that 5,110,200 of their shares of Nucotec would be redeemed by Nucotec in exchange for all of Nucotec’s shares of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three equivalent months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 
Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Current estimates include but are not limited to the value of options issued for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

39



 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenues pursuant to SAB 101 – “Revenue Recognition” and EITF 99-19 – “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” Net revenue as an agent, from the sale of products (consisting primarily of automobile electronic equipment, home electronics, computer accessories and supplies) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer (product shipment) and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted and, thereby, have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company’s policy is to classify shipping and handling costs as part of cost of goods sold in the statement of operations.

 

Advertising

 

The Company conducts advertising for the promotion of its products. Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred; such amounts aggregated $554 in 2004 and $-0- in 2003.

 

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 bases 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.

 

40



 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. At December 31, 2004, the Company had stock options outstanding that could potentially be exercised into 300,000 additional shares.  Such potentially issuable shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Should the Company report net income in a future period, diluted net income per share will be separately disclosed giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if the then outstanding stock warrants, options and debentures were exercised and converted into common shares.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivables. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required.

 

Significant Suppliers

 

The Company relies on three suppliers for the products purchased and sold on the Company’s website.  The loss of any one of the suppliers could significantly effect the Company’s operations.

 

The Company also relies on the hosting of their website by Yahoo! ® Store.  Any discontinuation of interruption of services by Yahoo! ® Store would significantly effect the Company’s operations.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. At December 31, 2003, inventory consisted of finished goods.  At December 31, 2004 there was no inventory.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

As permitted by FAS 123, as amended, the Company accounts for stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB 25.  Under this method no expense is recognized for options issued with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the stock on the date of grant.  Expense for options or warrants issued to non-employees is recorded in the financial statements at estimated fair value.  For options issued to employees, the Company is subject to proforma disclosures based on the estimated fair value of the options issued.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock volatility. Because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes how an issuer classifies and measures certain freestanding financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity and requires that such instruments be classified as liabilities. The standard is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 104, which was effective upon issuance, rescinded certain guidance contained in SAB No. 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangement, and replaced such guidance with that contained in EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Additionally, SAB No. 104 rescinded the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers issued with SAB No. 101. The revenue recognition principles of SAB No. 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB No. 104, and therefore the adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

42



 

In December 2004, the FASB Issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. This Statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Interpretation’s adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Shared Based Payment”. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issued No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring , or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” This Statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The Interpretation’s adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

 

Common Stock Issued For Services

 

The Company values common stock issued for services at the fair market value of the shares issued or the value of the services received, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

 

NOTE 2           GOING CONCERN

 

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability in our endeavors to seek sources of capital, and in attaining future profitable operations.  Our managements is currently initiating their business plan and in the process of raising additional capital.   The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On April 20, 2004, the Company initiated a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) of 6,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $0.01 per share. The Private Placement was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1933 and Rule 504 of Regulation D. Net proceeds amounted to $54,921 (see Note 9).

 

43



 

NOTE 4           COMMON STOCK

 

The Company issued the following shares of common stock:

 

Scott W. Bodenweber (an officer and director) – April 20, 2004 – 900,000 shares at $.01 a share for financial and accounting services rendered.

NOTE 7           COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Our office encompasses 800 square feet in a building owned by Hudson Capital Group. Our management believes these premises are in good condition. Hudson Capital Group allows us to use this space, including the computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, free of charge. Although the Hudson Capital Group can revoke our right to use this space at any time, we have been informed by its principal, Steven Hudson, (an officer, stockholder and director) that Hudson Capital Group intends to allow us to continue using the space free of charge for the foreseeable future. However, should we be evicted from the space, we would need to relocate to new facilities and may lack the funds to do so.

 

NOTE 8           EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, which permits the Board of Directors to grant, for a year period, options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to directors, employees and consultants. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  The administrators have the authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to select persons to whom stock options will be granted, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each option, to specify the type of consideration to be paid, and to establish all other terms and conditions of each option. Options granted under the Plan will not have a term that exceeds ten years from date of grant.

 

The stock subject to the Plan and issuable upon exercise of options granted under the Plan are shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, which may be either unissued or treasury shares.

 

The exercise price is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant of the options, as specified by the Board of Directors.

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, as well as our By-Laws provide for the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the corporation to the fullest extent provided by the Corporate Law of the State of Florida, as well as is described in the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws.  These sections generally provide that the Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative except for an action by or in right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation.  Generally, no indemnification may be made where the person has been determined to be negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons 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.

On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon and Steven W. Hudson agreed that 5,110,200 of their shares of common stock of Nucotec, Inc. would be redeemed by Nucotec, Inc. in exchange for all of Nucotec’s shares of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. which consisted of 80 shares of common stock of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.  This redemption was exempt from the registration provisions of the Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.  The securities issued in this transaction were restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 of the Act.

 

On April 20, 2004, Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. issued ten shares of common stock to Scott W. Bodenweber for his past accounting services rendered to Salty’s Warehouse, Inc.  This issuance was exempt from the registration provisions of the Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.  The securities issued in this transaction were restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 of the Act.

 

From June 23, 2004 through March 22, 2005, Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. conducted a private placement of its common stock.  Salty’s sold 1,280,000 shares of common stock to 52 accredited or sophisticated investors at $0.05 per share for total gross proceeds of $64,000.  No underwriter or NASD member broker/dealer participated in this private offering and no discounts or commissions were given or paid.  This private placement was exempt from the registration provisions of the Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Act and pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  The securities issued pursuant to the private placement were restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 of the Act.

Item 28. Undertakings

 

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:

 

(a)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(b)  Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(c)  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, each such post-effective 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 post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4)   For determining liability of the undersigned under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned or used or referred to by the undersigned;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned to the purchaser.

 

48



 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above in Item 24, 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of the expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person 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, we 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.

Registration Statement on Form SB-2, filed December 27, 2005

 

 

Registration No. 333-130707

 

Dear Ms. Wolff:

 

This letter and Amendment No.1 to the above captioned registration statement, filed simultaneously, serve as a response to your letter dated January 20, 2006. Responses are keyed to the comments in your letter and provide requested additional information accordingly.

 

General

 

1. Please be advised that we are monitoring the updating requirements of Rule 3-10(g) of Regulation S-B.

 

Cover Page

 

2.  We have revised the Registration Statement to remove any shares underlying options that we have yet to issue.

 

3.  We have revised the Registration Statement to provide that all offers and sales will be made at a disclosed fixed price for the duration of the offering and the selling shareholders will be identified as underwriters. We have revised the disclosure throughout the prospectus accordingly.

 

Summary Page 1

 

4. We have revised the summary on page one to show that we generate revenues through the sale of products on the Salty’s Warehouse website.

 



 

Risk Factors

 

5.  We have revised this section to delete cross-references.

 

6.  We have reconsidered and deleted the reference regarding inaccurate estimation of customer demand and do not believe a risk factor is necessary.  Since we do not hold inventory of the products we sell, we do not risk over-stocking our products and suffering losses in that regard.  Competition is a risk factor that is described within the Registration Statement, and we believe this risk factor more accurately describes and represents risks associated with our particular business model.

 

We have a limited operating history …..

 

7.  We have reconsidered and deleted this risk factor since we were incorporated in 1998 and our operating history is not limited.

 

8.  We have deleted this risk factor and believe the first two bullet points are also inapplicable as a risk factor with regards to our current operations.

 

9.  See 7 above.

 

We are solely dependent on the hosting of our website by Yahoo!Store.   Any discontinuation or interruption of service by Yahoo!Store would significantly harm our business

 

10.  We have revised to disclose that the Yahoo!Store Agreement is month to month and may be terminated without cause by either party.

 

We do not have a lease on our office and storage space, and if we lose this office and storage space, it will significantly disrupt our operations

 

11.  We have revised the Registration Statement to reflect that we do not have storage space and only have office space.

 

If our stock becomes publicly traded, we will likely be subject to the penny stock rules

 

12.  We have revised the caption to include the risk related to becoming subject to penny stock rules.

 

We may not qualify for the Over-the Counter Electronic Bulletin Board Quotation, and therefore, you may be unable to sell your shares

 

2



 

13.  We have revised this section to briefly describe the requirement for quotation on the OTCBB. We have eliminated the last sentence, which was a duplicative disclosure with regards to Penny Stock Rules.

 

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our shares

 

14.  We have expanded to state that we are registering approximately 40% of our stock in this offering.

 

Selected Condensed Financial Data

 

15.  We revised this section to retroactively present the impact of the stock split throughout the documentation.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

 

16.  We revised this section to identify and discuss that management relies solely upon sales results to manage and assess the business and that management does not rely upon any other key performance indicators, including non-financial performance indicators.

 

17.  We revised this section to discuss our critical accounting policies.

 

Overview

 

Results of Operation

 

18.  We revised this section to clarify that changes from period to period are the result of the competitive environment and fluctuations associated therewith which the Company is not in a position to assess or prevent.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

19. $31,011 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are being held in an attorney trust account.  This sum is what remains from proceeds raised through a private offering to 52 accredited investors, as further described in the Registration Statement.  This is an escrow account and funds may be released to the Company, upon the Company’s request.  Since this is an escrow account, a signature of the responsible attorney is required.  There are no other hindrances to the release of the funds.

 

3



 

Fluctuations in Operating Results

 

20. We have reconsidered the last sentence of this section and no longer believe that our results of operation from period to period are not meaningful.  We have deleted this sentence.

 

Business

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

21.   We have revised this section to clarify that revenues are not divided between Salty’s Warhehouse, Inc. and the supplier:  the supplier has set wholesale, prices which are invoiced to our company.  We do not believe revisions in this regard are required for the MD&A section.

 

Management

 

22.  We have revised footnote 1 to state that none of our officers and directors other than Earl Shannon have been involved in a blank check company.

 

23.  We have revised this section to disclose that our officers and directors shall serve until the next Annual Shareholder’s Meeting.

 

Executive Compensation

 

24. We have disclosed our director compensation policy as described in 402(f) of Regulation SB.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

25.  We have revised this section to state the value of the rent of the office space received from Hudson Capital Group to be approximately $400 per month.

 

Where you can find more information

 

26.  We have updated this section to reflect the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s new address.

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

27.  The audit report has been revised to include a going concern.

 

4



 

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

28.  On May 10, 2002, when Nucotec, Inc. purchased 80% of the stock of Salty’s Warehouse, Inc., the company remained a separate corporation.  Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. has maintained its separate identity throughout the time it was a subsidiary of Nucotec and through the current date. There were no accounting transactions on Salty’s books related to stock exchanged on March 19, 2004.  The transactions were between old and new stockholders and did not impact accounting for Salty’s Warehouse, Inc. We do not believe any revision to the Registration Statement is required with regards to this.

 

Item 26.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

29.  We have reconciled the disclosures: sales were made to 52 accredited investors.  We believe the Rule 504 exemption may be appropriately relied upon because this was an offering by a non-reporting company which did not exceed the annual aggregate amount of $1,000,000.  In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising involved and sales were made only to accredited investors.

 

Undertakings

 

30.  We have expanded the undertakings to include the undertaking required by Item 512(a)(4) of Regulation SB.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

/s/ Earl T. Shannon
