Item. 1. Changes in Control of Registrant
This Amendment is being filed to replace in its entirety Item No.
1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
On October 27, l997, Creative Technologies Corp. (the
Company) executed and closed a transaction pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) between the Company,
CTC Acquisition Corporation (Subsidiary), Ace Surgical Supply
Co., Inc. (Ace) and David Guttmann and Barry Septimus, the
stockholders (the Stockholders ) of Ace. Subsidiary is a New York
corporation which was wholly -owned by the Company. Ace was a
privately held New York corporation, which distributes medical,
janitorial and dietary products in the tri-state area from its
warehouse in Brooklyn, New York.
At the closing, Ace merged into Subsidiary in a merger
carried out pursuant to the laws of the State of New York (the
Merger). In connection with the Merger, the Stockholders of Ace
transferred l00% ownership of Ace and two affiliated companies to
the Company and Stockholders of Ace received an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.09 par value, (the Shares) of
the Company and 3,500 1997 Series A 12% Preferred Stock (the
"1997 Preferred Stock").
The rights, preferences and conditions of the 1997 Preferred
Stock are as follows:
(a) the 1997 Preferred Stock shall have a stated
value of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per share;
(b) the holders of the 1997 Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of One
Hundred Twenty Dollars ($120.00) per share per annum,
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of
the Company;
(c) the holders of the 1997 Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)
per share and accrued and accumulated dividends thereon
at the rate aforesaid, if any, and no more on
liquidation of the Company before any payment is made
to the holders of Common Stock;
(d) the holders of the 1997 Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any vote at any meeting of the
shareholders of the Company unless the dividends are in
arrears longer than one year at which time the holders
of the 1997 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 1,000
votes per share and shall vote along with the holders
of Common Stock as one Class;
(e) the shares of the 1997 Preferred Stock shall
not be convertible;
(f) the shares shall be redeemed for cash at a
redemption price of $1,000 per share, plus accrued, but
unpaid dividends, out of funds legally available
therefor, on the later of twenty years from issuance or
October 1, 2017.
(h) the holders of the Preferred Shares will
share pro-rata with the holders of the 1996 and 1996-A
Preferred Stock in the event of a liquidation or a
dissolution of the Company.
Prior to this transaction, the Company had approximately
2,997,444 shares of Common Stock and 1,770 shares of Preferred
Stock outstanding. As a result of the Merger, Ace became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the former owners of
Ace control approximately 35% of a of the voting stock of the
Company.
Prior to the Merger , Mr. Guttmann owned 92,222 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, a portion of which is held for the
benefit of certain family members. In addition, he has stock
options, exercisable at $2.05 per share, to purchase l6,666
shares of Common Stock and owns 450 shares of l996 Preferred
Stock and l20 shares of l996-A Preferred Stock which are
convertible into approximately 149,850 and l92,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, respectively. In addition, Ace
owned 720 shares of l996-A Preferred Stock which was exercisable
to purchase l,l52,000 shares of Common Stock. Prior to the
Merger, half of such shares was distributed to Mr. Guttmann and
half to Barry Septimus. Upon the Merger , Mr. Guttmann will own
an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,750 shares of
1997 Preferred Stock. Mr. Guttmann has been the Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company prior and
subsequent to the Merger.
Barry Septimus wife was the owner of l69,711 shares of
Common Stock and owns 100 shares of 1996-A Preferred Stock, which
are exercisable to purchase l60,000 shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Merger, Mr. Septimus will own 500,000 shares of
Common Stock and 1,750 shares of 1997 Preferred Stock of the
Company. In addition, he received 360 shares of 1996-A Preferred
Stock from ACE.
The Officers and Directors of the Company prior to the
Merger will continue as the Officers and Directors of the Company
after the Merger.
Reference is made to Item 2 and the exhibits and financial
statements referenced under Item 7 hereof for additional
disclosures.
Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 27, l997 the Company acquired Ace by merging Ace
into a subsidiary of the Company. Under the Agreement, the
holders of Ace stock received an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock, $.09 par value, and 3,500 shares
of 1997 Preferred Stock. The consideration paid by the Company
was determined by negotiations between the Stockholders of Ace
and a committee made up of certain members of the Board of
Directors of the Company. The amount of Shares of 1997 Preferred
Stock received by the Stockholders of Ace was calculated by
multiplying 1,000,000 (number of shares of Common Stock issued to
them) by the average of the Bid prices of the Common Stock of the
Company for thirty days prior to the closing and subtracting such
product from 4,000,000 and dividing the sum by 1,000 (the stated
value of each of the 1997 Preferred Stock).
David Guttmann, a principal shareholder, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Company owned 50% of Ace. In
addition, the wife of Barry Septimus, the other 50% owner of Ace,
is a principal shareholder of the Company. The Company subleases
its offices and warehousing space from Ace. The Company and Ace
both have their executive offices and warehousing space at 170
53rd Street, Brooklyn, N.Y. and it is expected that the Merger of
the two companies will allow for certain expenses to be
eliminated. Furthermore, the Company and Ace each obtained a
line of credit from Century Business Credit Corporation
("Century"). Ace, Consolidated Disposables, Inc. and Universal
Medical Products Inc., companies controlled by David Guttmann and
merged along with Ace into the Subsidiary of the Company and
David Guttmann guaranteed the obligations of the Company to
Century. The Company in return, guaranteed the obligation of
Ace and Consolidated Disposables, Inc. to Century. Reference is
made to the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
l996 for a description of the lease agreement with Ace and line
of credit with Century.
Ace is a distributor of medical, janitorial and dietary
products, primarily to customers in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. At June 30, 1997, the principal assets of Ace
consisted of inventory in the approximate amount of $549,000,
accounts receivable of approximately $3,131,000 and property,
equipment and leasehold improvements - at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization of approximately $258,000. In
addition, Ace owned 720 shares of 1996-A Preferred Stock of the
Company which was distributed to its shareholders prior to the
Merger. At June 30, 1997, Ace had notes payable - financial
institutions of 2,028,000 and accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $2,104,000.
The Company has received an opinion from Chartered Capital
Advisers, Inc., independent investment advisers, that the amount
of Common Stock and Preferred Stock issued as consideration in
the Merger is fair to the Company and its stockholders from a
financial point of view.

ACE SURGICAL SUPPLY CO., INC. AND AFFILIATES
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
[1]Principles of combination and business activity:
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Ace
Surgical Supply Co., Inc. ("Ace"), Consolidated Disposables Inc.
and Universal Medical Products, Inc., which are commonly owned.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
combination.
Ace Surgical Supply Co., Inc., Consolidated Disposables Inc. and
Universal Medical Products, Inc. (collectively, the "Company")
are wholesalers of nonmedical supplies, predominantly to
hospitals and nursing homes.
[2]Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
out) or market.
[3]Depreciation and amortization:
Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated
useful lives of the depreciable assets using the straight-line
method over 3 to 30 years.
[4]Income taxes:
The Company elected to be treated as an S corporation pursuant
to Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of
this election, the Company's income or loss is reportable on the
federal and certain state tax returns of their stockholders.
Retained earnings of the Company of approximately $1,331,000
arising subsequent to the date of the elections may be withdrawn
by the stockholders without any further federal tax consequences
to them, however, the provisions of the note payable to the
financial institution restrict such payments. The Company is
subject to certain state and local income taxes. The income tax
benefit for the year ended December 31, 1996 is due to the
reversal of an overaccrual of the tax provision from the prior
year of approximately $27,000.
[5]Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note B - Related Party Transactions
[1]The notes payable to affiliates (the "Subordinated debt") are
subordinated to the financial institutions debt and bear
interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The notes are payable on

the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
[2]The loan payable to stockholder bears interest at 12% per annum.
Interest incurred to stockholder was $10,435 and $14,831 for the

$143,642 as of December 31, 1996.
The Company purchased 720 shares of CTC's 1996-A Preferred Stock

shares on October 1, 1998 at $1,000 per share payable in cash or
shares of common stock at the option of CTC, (iv) liquidation

rights.
CTC, at its option, has the right to redeem all or any portion

and unpaid dividends prior to October 1, 1998.
Cumulative unpaid 1996-A Preferred Stock dividends aggregated
approximately $21,500 at December 31, 1996.
[4]The Company leases office and warehouse space in a building
