And here is Big AL's meat and potatoes on the NR on SSCP: FREEHOLD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 2000--stereoscape.com, inc. (OTC-BB:SSCP) 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. Gee could this mean Spin offs? 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. this implies the 15:1 FORWARD SPLIT 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. I mentioned spin-offs? :) 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. The transaction includes the acquisition of all of the trademarks, intellectual properties and domain names currently held by and relating to ePiggybank.com. The Company also has an agreement with Chevron (NYSE:CHV) for use of their "Piggy Bank" Trademark. THIS IS IMPORTANT IMHO. 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) indicate that by the year 2002 approximately 21,000,000 kids will have direct access to the Internet. This group controls direct spending of $28 billion, and influences an additional $126 billion in spending by adults, reported by Packaged Facts of Kalorama. 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. ePiggybank.com offers a bevy of interesting options, including: Money School - Economics and personal finance taught via online tutorials with an award system designed to encourage kids to learn. Stock Market - Market fundamentals are taught by trading a mock portfolio with an established firm and partner. "How do Banks Work?" - Gives kids an understanding of banking and the services they provide by practicing with online accounts. Smart Shopping - Tutorials designed to teach kids how to be smart shoppers using click through shopping sites. Earn e-poinks(TM) - Valuable e-poinks are earned by the kids while participating online. These e-poinks can be used for the "purchase" of various items. News and Stocks - Real news pertinent to kids and their interests. Stock reviews of companies with a kid slant or interest. Bookstore - Click through bookstore and reviews of financial publications appropriate for kids of various ages and peer reviews. Video Vote - Kids vote for their favorite videos online. Sports - Hot links to the best sports site. Global Pen Pals - Code name for chat room, also "Financial Celebrity" scheduled discussions. Calendar - Calendar of upcoming events. Multilingual Site - The site will soon be available in several languages. This is a lot of stuff! The graphic design team, Keech Studios, have the ePiggybank.com site available for preview viewing, at ePiggybank.com with the complete fully operational site scheduled for release in late October 2000. Keech Studios have performed projects for such major companies as Planet Hollywood, US West, Celestial Seasonings, J. Walter Thompson, Lockeed/Martin, Reebok, and Coors. In addition to ePiggybank.com, stereoscape.com through its other subsidiaries, Alpha Sound and Vision, Inc. and American Buyers Club International, Inc. sells high-end audio, video and home theatre equipment through the Internet and its retail outlet in Freehold, New Jersey.
