Item 1. CHANGE IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

         On December 10, 1999, Perfumania, Inc. ("PFI"), the majority
shareholder of perfumania.com, inc. (the "Company"), entered into an option
agreement, which was amended on December 20, 1999 (the "Option Agreement"), with
Alta Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the Jersey Channel
Islands ("Alta") and Wainwright Facilities Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("WFC"). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, PFI granted to Alta, WFC and their
permitted assignees (collectively, the "Optionees"), (i) an option to purchase
from PFI 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock") at a price of $6.00 per share on or prior to January
15, 2000 (the "First Option") and (ii) an option to purchase from PFI, 500,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $8.00 per share on or prior
to December 31, 2000, subject to certain conditions, including exercise of the
First Option (the "Second Option"). In addition, Alta was granted the right,
upon exercise of the First Option, to appoint a majority of the members of the
Company's Board of Directors, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14f-1
under the Exchange Act.

         On January 11, 2000 (the "Closing Date"), the First Option was
exercised. Rachmil Lekach, Daniel Manella and Daniel Sawicki, directors of the
Company, resigned their positions effective the Closing Date, and Ilia Lekach
resigned as director effective ten days from the date the Company files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and mails to shareholders of
record, an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act
and Rule 14f-1 under the Exchange Act (the "Effective Date"). Two designees of
Alta, Sunny C. Vanderbeck and Dean M. Willard were appointed to the Company's
Board of Directors effective on the Closing Date and four additional designees
of Alta, Thomas Carmody, Garrick M. Hileman, William J. Patch and Alan E. Rudd
were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors, such appointment to become
effective on the Effective Date in accordance with the requirements of Section
14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 under the Exchange Act.

         In addition, on the Closing Date, Rachmil Lekach resigned as the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and William J. Patch was
appointed as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer. Michael E.
Amideo, who served as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating
Officer and a director, will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary and a director. As a result of the foregoing, a change in control of
the Company has taken place.

         The Second Option, conditioned upon the exercise of the First Option,
provides the Optionees with the right to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock
of the Company from PFI at a price of $8.00 per share on or prior to the earlier
to occur of (x) December 31, 2000 or (y) any of the following events: (i)
approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or other form of corporate transaction or series of transactions,
in each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the
Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation or
other transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the
combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
the reorganized, merged or consolidated company's then outstanding voting
securities, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately
prior to



                                       2

such reorganization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, (ii) a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (iii) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether in a single transaction
or a series of transactions, (iv) individuals who constitute the Board of
Directors of the Company following the Effective Date who are nominees of Alta
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors
of the Company, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the
Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election, by the Company's
shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors
then comprising the Board of Directors of the Company (other than an election or
nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection
with an actual or threatened election context relating to the election of the
directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation
14A under the Exchange Act) shall be considered as though such person were a
nominee member of the Board of Directors of the Company subsequent to the
Effective Date, or (v) the acquisition by any person, entity or "group" (other
than Alta), within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange
Act, of more than 50% of either the then outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock or the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
(hereinafter referred to as the ownership of a "Controlling Interest")
excluding, for this purpose, any acquisitions by (1) the Company or its
Subsidiaries, (2) any person, entity or "group" that as of December 10, 1999
owns beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act) of a Controlling Interest or (3) any employee benefit plan of
the Company or its Subsidiaries.

         The Option Agreement also provides that following the exercise of the
First Option and as long as PFI owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company, until December 31, 2000, unless otherwise required
by law, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company called to vote upon
any matter or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstance upon which
a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) is sought from
the shareholders of the Company with respect to (i) a proposed business
combination between the Company and Biz2Net, Inc. ("Biz2Net") or a newly formed
Delaware corporation for the purpose and effect of changing the state of
incorporation of the Company, (ii) eliminating the applicability of any state
law anti-takeover provisions to the Company in general or to any shares of
Common Stock of the Company (regardless as to whether such shares of Common
Stock of the Company were purchased prior to December 11, 1999), and/or (iii)
the acquisition of Biz2Net by the Company and the issuance of shares of Common
Stock of the Company in connection with such business combination, PFI shall
grant a proxy to Alta to vote all of PFI's shares of Common Stock (including any
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Second Option) in favor of
each of the foregoing, provided, however, that PFI shall not be required to
grant such a proxy in connection with a proposed merger with Biz2Net if such
transaction is not materially on the following terms: the consideration paid to
Biz2Net shareholders shall be not more than 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of
the Company and the transaction will be subject to standard terms and conditions
for agreements of its type and size (including the delivery of a fairness
opinion to the shareholders of the Company from a nationally recognized
investment bank).
