diablostocks5 - diablostocks.com
Greetings fellow investors. The Company we present to you for Tuesday September 19, 2000 is Stereoscape.com (OTCBB-SSCP).
Currently 1.3 million shares estimated in the float.
We understand that GVRC (a Bahamian based market maker) is RUMORED to be substantially short SSCP stock. Other unsubstantiated rumors also exist that the transfer agent already has received enough proxies in favor of the split, that it's nearly a done deal.
SSCP's merger with Epiggy changes the face of the company. Once again, unsubstantiated rumors are rampant with financing agreements, spin-offs and a multitude of other improvements to the business model. We have stated up front that these are only rumors, we cannot confirm or deny any of this, but the position on SSCP is getting larger by the day.
Other recent forward splits to review include: BIFS, VNCA, VCSY, and TMBE . . . ALL ran hard.
We anticipate and believe that after the split and the merger, the symbol and cusip might change.....forcing the shorts to cover, and we all know what that could mean.
Shareholder meeting to vote on the split is scheduled for Tuesday the19th of September, 2000 at 10:00am EDT.
Stereoscape.com (OTCBB-SSCP) Shares authorized - 10,000,000 Shares issued - 3,358,227 Insiders hold - 2,060,000 (estimated) Free trading float - 1,300,000 (estimated)
After the split : Shares authorized 200,000,000 Shares issued 50,374,155 Insiders 30,900,000 (estimated) Float 19,474,155 (estimated) They will have 149,625,845 shares authorized (Estimated, BUT NOT ISSUED TO USE FOR ACQUISITIONS ETC.)

About Stereoscape.com:
Incorporated in 1997, stereoscape.com (www.stereoscape.com ), through its subsidiaries Alpha Sound & Vision, Inc. (www.alphasound.com ) and American Buyers Club International, Inc. (www.abcstereo.com ), sells high-end audio, video and home theatre equipment on the Internet and at its retail store. All orders are paid for by check or credit card at the time of shipment. There is no financing offered - SSCP’s business is strictly a “cash and carry operation”.
Stereoscape.com offers a wide range of name brand products listed at several different price points, with a greater product depth at higher price levels than most of its competitors. SSCP currently offers several hundred products, including all of the top brands of home theatre and related electronic equipment brands (JVC, Sony, Yamaha, Denon, Krix, Klipsch, Thornberg, etc.). Although SSCP’s subsidiaries sell through different media, the majority of the products that they sell are identical. The company’s retail store provides custom design and installation services for all of its home theatre products.
SSCP derives its revenues from the sale of home theatre systems and individual components to customers on a call-in basis and via the Internet. Presently, sales are being generated about equally from leads generated through the Internet and traditional print / radio advertising, although by years-end, SSCP anticipates that the majority of its sales will be Internet-driven.
Stereoscape.com recently announced major changes to its management team as part of its on-going effort to implement its growth strategy.
Mario Bassani, SSCP’s new Chairman & CEO stated that “we are currently exploring various avenues for growth, including expanding our Internet presence, increasing advertising for our retail store, importing and distributing new product lines, and several key acquisitions. We are confident that the Company will succeed in realizing many of the above growth opportunities.”
SSCP’s website recently underwent a major upgrade in conjunction with stereoscape.com’s announcement of its new Yahoo! e-commerce store.
The new Stereoscape.com website boasts detailed product descriptions, shopping cart style checkout, lightening fast order processing, and is database-driven.
The Yahoo! store has the capacity to process huge quantities of orders, and will accommodate SSCP’s projected growth over the next several years. The enhanced website allows customers to make informative buying decisions, without the hassle of searching the web for product information.
Expectations are that this new relationship with Yahoo! should dramatically increase traffic and sales for SSCP. By years-end, Stereoscape.com expects to be generating the majority of its sales leads through the Internet.
The company is projecting sales for the current fiscal year to reach $7.5 million with a gross profit of $1.9 million (about $0.46 per share).
Stereoscape.com, Inc.’s 10-K Report indicates that sales for the year ending December 31, 1999 increased by 30% to $4,112,324 from $3.16 million the year before. Gross profits for fiscal 1999 increased 27% to $822,698 from $649,000 the year before.
SSCP indicates that revenue projections for the current fiscal year 2000 (assuming completion of a small external financing) are about $7.5 million, increasing to $10 million in FY 2001. Gross profits for this year and next year are estimated by SSCP at $1.9 and $2.5 million ($0.46 and $0.61 per share), respectively.

Wednesday August 30, 1:00 pm Eastern Time Press Release stereoscape.com Acquires ePiggybank.com, A Financial Website for Kids
FREEHOLD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 2000--stereoscape.com, inc. (OTC-BB:SSCP - news) today announced the acquisition of ePiggybank.com, a financial website for kids. ePiggybank.com is a financial and educational website that instructs kids on a ``learn by doing'' basis to become financially literate so that they will be intelligent savers, investors and spenders as they grow up. The base elements of ePiggybank.com are Savings, College Funds, Banking Instruments and Cyber-cash. Each child develops their own home page, which is password protected, on which they can track how much they spend and invest.
The acquisition of e-Piggybank.com is the first step in a complete change of business plan under the direction of new CEO, Mario Bassani. The Company is in the process of changing its business plan and becoming a holding company. At its September 19th shareholder meeting the increase in authorized capital stock shares will be the next step the Company will take in achieving its goals. With the additional authorized shares the Company will look to diversify and acquire other Internet related companies via accretive stock transactions. These companies may be spun-off to the Company's shareholders to enhance overall shareholder value.
The transaction includes a payment of 500,000 stereoscape.com shares in addition to options to purchase 200,000 shares of stereoscape.com common stock at $1.00 per share, with certain vesting requirements.

As quoted from Business 2.0, March 2000, ``The right domain name can solidify a company's corporate identity, permanently embed itself in the human psyche, and garner more attention than a 30-second advertising spot during the Super Bowl.''
Estimates by Jupiter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:JPTR - news) indicate that by the year 2002 approximately 21,000,000 kids will have direct access to the Internet.

These figures do not include the ``prime spending'' teen years from 15-19. Teen Research Unlimited, reported, ``U.S. teens spent $141 Billion last year.''
In a survey that may prompt advertisers to pump more money into marketing to children, a Web tracking firm concluded that kids are more likely than any other age group to click on Internet banner ads.
The survey - released by the Web measurement firm Nielen/NetRatings - found that in June 2000 kids 11-years-old and younger clicked 0.87 percent of banner ads that popped up on their computer screens. That figure is nearly double the 0.45 percent average click rate for all U.S. Internet users and significantly higher than any other individual age group.
