ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
-------------------------------------
Upon the consummation of the transaction described in Item 1, the
Registrant acquired the business and operations of UVGI. UVGI was incorporated
in May 1996 under the name Travelnet International, Corp. UVGI manufactures,
designs and distributes a wide assortment of 14 karat gold earrings, charms,
bracelets and rings in the United States, some of which are accented with
colored gem stones. UVGI offers its customers a large selection of jewelry
styles, consistent product quality and prompt delivery of product orders. Its
customers include mass merchandisers such as JC Penny and Sears, discount
stores, home shopping networks such as QVC, warehouse clubs such as Jan Bell and
jewelry wholesalers and distributors. In fiscal 1997 and 1998, UVGI generated
sales from approximately 100 customers. Its five largest customers, on an
aggregated basis, accounted for approximately 60% and 53% of net sales,
respectively. UVGI currently offers over 1000 styles of gold charms, earrings,
bracelets and rings, with the majority of its products retailing between $50 and
$300. Its products are intended to appeal to consumers who are value conscious
as well as fashion conscious.
UVGI maintains an in-house design staff to create new designs for its
products and to work closely with its senior officers and marketing personnel to
develop new products meeting the needs of its customers. UVGI updates its
product catalogue each year by adding new designs and eliminating less popular
styles.
Substantially all of its jewelry is manufactured by UVGI at its plant
in New York City. UVGI believes it has appropriate equipment and facilities at
its plant for gold casting, gold stamping and tool manufacturing and, therefore,
the ability to finish the production of a product
