THE COMPANY
INTEGRATED BRANDS INC. (formerly known as Steve's Homemade Ice Cream,
Inc.) together with its subsidiaries (collectively, "INTEGRATED" or the
"Company") markets, sells and distributes a variety of branded frozen dessert
products to supermarkets, grocery stores, gourmet shops, delicatessens and
convenience stores. The Company's products include prepackaged Steve's(R) super
premium ice cream and novelties, Swensen's(R) premium ice cream, American
Glace(R) frozen desserts, "Chilly Things"(R) frozen novelties and additional
frozen novelties. The Company, pursuant to long term exclusive licenses,
markets, sells and distributes Yoplait(R) ready to eat frozen yogurt products,
individual and multipack Trix(R) frozen novelties, Colombo hard pack frozen
dessert products and Yoo Hoo frozen novelties. The Company, directly and through
subsidiaries, also operates, franchises and licenses Steve's, Swensen's and
triple trademark frozen dessert stores.
The Company was incorporated in New Jersey on September 27, 1985 under
the name Steve's Homemade Ice Cream, Inc. In August 1988, the Company acquired
Swensen's, Inc. ("Swensen's"). In August 1990, the Company acquired a sixty
percent interest in American Glace, Inc. Its principal offices are located at
4175 Veterans Highway, Ronkonkoma, New York 11779 and its telephone number is
(516) 737-9700.
The Company owns, operates, develops and franchises Swensen's
restaurants and ice cream stores in four formats: full food service, limited
food service, ice cream only stores and specialty stores. Steve's franchises are
operated primarily as dessert only stores. Steve's and Swensen's stores are also
offered as "triple trademark" franchises featuring independent sections of
Steve's or Swensen's ice cream, David's cookies and Heidi's frozen yogurt.
At December 31, 1994, there were 20 franchised Steve's stores, 238
franchised Swensen's stores and six Company-owned Swensen's stores.
In February 1989, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
acquired approximately 85% of the outstanding stock of Heidi's Frogen Yozurt
Shoppes, Inc. ("Heidi's") from the two major stockholders of Heidi's. At
December 31, 1994, Heidi's operated and franchised 28 frozen yogurt stores
predominately in California with stores also in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Florida,
-5-
<PAGE>
and New York. On April 9, 1993, Heidi's and its subsidiary filed a voluntary
petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code to reorganize.
The Company has entered into agreements with Heidi's pursuant to which the
Company has received a license from Heidi's to (i) use the Heidi's trademark in
the manufacture of frozen dessert products, (ii) offer Heidi's products in its
Steve's and Swensen's stores and (iii) to sell Heidi's franchises.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On August 15, 1995 the Company purchased from General Mills, Inc. the
Colombo hard pack prepackaged frozen dessert business. The Yoplait-Colombo
Division of GENERAL MILLS will continue to market and distribute Colombo Shoppe
Style Frozen Yogurt to its food service customers. The Company simultaneously
entered into twenty year exclusive license agreements for the United States and
Canada for the use of the Colombo, Trix, Count Chocula and Lucky Charms
trademarks and fifteen years for the Betty Crocker trademark for frozen products
containing ice cream or frozen yogurt for prepackaged goods of all sizes,
prepackaged novelties such as pops, bars and sandwiches and prepackaged frozen
dessert specialties such as ice cream cakes, pies and brownie sundaes. Each
agreement is renewable for an additional five years. In connection with the
execution of the agreements, the Company paid $4,500,000 in cash to General
Mills, Inc., such amount is subject to increase in the event certain sale
targets are met. The source of funds used to pay the consideration was the
Company's existing credit facility.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following considerations, as well as others described elsewhere in
this Prospectus and the incorporated materials, should be carefully considered
in evaluating the Company and its business prospects before any decision is made
to purchase any of the Common Stock offered hereby.
1. Dependence Upon Principal Stockholder and Affiliates. Calip
Dairies, Inc., ("Calip") owned by Richard E. Smith, Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, and his wife Susan Smith, has
entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with the
Company, which terminates on April 15, 1996. Pursuant to the terms of the
Management Agreement, Calip will provide a portion of the management,
-6-
<PAGE>
administrative and other personnel required for the operation of the Company's
business until April 15, 1996. For the services provided by Calip, Calip will
receive an annual management fee equal to 10% of the gross revenues of the
Company, up to $5,000,000 in gross revenues, and 2% of gross revenues thereafter
up to a maximum annual fee of $1,000,000. In addition, Calip is entitled to
receive an additional incentive management fee equal to 5% of the Company's
annual net after tax income in excess of $3,000,000. While the Management
Agreement was not negotiated at arms' length, the Company believes that the
terms of the Management Agreement are fair. The management fee for the year
ended December 31, 1994 was approximately $751,000. After April 15, 1996, Calip
will be under no obligation to continue to provide such services to the Company.
There is no assurance that the Company's business would not be adversely
affected if Calip ceased to provide such services to the Company or that, upon
the expiration of the Management Agreement, the Company will be able to
renegotiate the terms of such Management Agreement on comparable terms, or at
all. In the event of termination, it is unlikely that a suitable replacement
could be found to provide such services.
2. Conflicts of Interest. The Company is dependent upon the active
participation of its officers, who are collectively responsible for the
management of its business. The Company has no employment agreements with any of
its officers and none of its officers are required to devote their full time or
attention to the business of the Company. These officers, in fact, devote
substantial amounts of time to the other ice cream companies affiliated with
Richard E. Smith. While pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, such
officers will be required to devote such time as is necessary to the Company's
business, these officers may have conflicts of interest in allocating their
management time among their various business activities.
Mr. Smith is not required to devote any specific amount of time to the
management of the Company and will devote a substantial amount of his time to
the other ice cream and frozen dessert companies with which he is affiliated.
However, Mr. Smith will devote such time as is reasonably necessary to the
business of the Company. To the extent that such other ice cream companies are
competitive with the business of the Company, additional conflicts of interest
may arise.
Certain unaffiliated companies with which the Company does business,
such as certain suppliers and manufacturers, also do business with the other
-7-
<PAGE>
companies affiliated with Richard E. Smith. Such relationships could result in
the disruption of the Company's business in the event that conflicts arise
between such suppliers and manufacturers and any of the other companies
affiliated with Mr. Smith and could result in conflicts of interest for officers
of the Company who may be employed by the companies affiliated with Mr. Smith.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it does not
presently intend to pursue any business opportunity that relates primarily to
the warehousing or distribution of ice cream, frozen desserts and similar
products, pursuant to trademarks owned by others or to the licensing or
acquisition of a product primarily for distribution within the areas in which
the ice cream distributors affiliated with Mr. Smith distribute products
(regardless of whether such product is developed by independent third parties
alone or in conjunction with affiliates of the Company). All other business
opportunities which come to the attention of management of the Company will
first be presented to the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, in its
sole discretion, determines not to pursue any business opportunity presented to
it, Mr. Smith, or any of the companies affiliated with him, may, thereafter,
pursue such opportunity. To the extent that the Company or any of the companies
affiliated with Mr. Smith expand their operations as a result of any such
business opportunity, substantial additional conflicts may arise. Any conflicts
arising as a result of the affiliation of any of the officers or directors of
the Company with other ice cream companies will be resolved by the disinterested
members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
The Company has entered into an agreement with Calip terminable on 30
days's notice, to sell to Calip at an agreed upon price, the Company's products
for distribution to certain retail outlets in New York, New Jersey, southern
Connecticut and the Philadelphia-Delaware areas. The Company believes that the
prices, at which the Company's products are sold to Calip are competitive with
the prices generally paid by distributors for similar products in the New York
metropolitan area. Sales of ice cream to Calip for the year ended December 31,
1994 were approximately $1,695,000. If Calip terminates the Distribution
Agreement, the Company may be unable to retain other comparable ice cream
distributors in such areas, and the operations of the Company may be adversely
affected. The Distributor also distributes several other brands of frozen desert
products, including Dolly Madison, T&W and Sedutto products in the New York
metropolitan area, which may result in substantial conflicts of interest for Mr.
Smith and other officers of the Company.
-8-
<PAGE>
3. Governmental Regulations. The Company is subject to regulation by
federal, state and local governmental authorities regarding the distribution and
sale of food products and the operation of retail food establishments. Although
the Company believes that it currently has all material government permits,
licenses, qualifications and approvals required for its operations, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain these in effect or obtain
any future government permits, licenses, qualifications or approvals which may
be required for the operation of its business.
In addition, the Company's franchise programs are subject to
regulation by the Federal Trade Commission relating to the information required
to be disclosed to investors prior to their investment in a franchise, as well
as similar rules in a number of states in which the Company offers franchises,
some of which require substantive review of franchise disclosure documents. In
the event that the Company is unable to comply with the franchise regulations of
a particular state, the Company will be unable to offer or sell franchises in
such state. There can be no assurance that existing or future franchise
regulations will not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to expand
its operations through its franchise program.
4. Competition. The ice cream market is highly competitive and the
Company faces substantial competition in connection with the marketing and sales
of its products. Among its competitors are Haagen-Dazs, Inc., owned by The
Pillsbury Company, Breyer's and Sealtest, owned by Unilever Inc., Ben & Jerry's
Homemade Ice Cream, Inc., Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream and other numerous regional
ice cream companies. Many of such competitors are well-established and have
substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.
While the ice cream manufacturing and distribution business is
relatively easy to enter due to low entry cost, achieving wide distribution may
be more difficult because of the high cost of a national marketing program and
limitations on the space available in retail freezer compartments. The Company's
products may also be considered to be competing with all ice cream and other
desserts for discretionary food dollars.
-9-
<PAGE>
The Company's franchised and Company-owned stores compete directly
with local, regional and national retail ice cream establishments and
restaurants, including nationwide chains such as Friendly's, and with other
businesses catering to the food and dessert market. Many of these businesses are
much larger, and have substantially greater capital and resources than does the
Company. The ability of the Company and its franchisees to maintain and increase
their share of the market will be dependent upon many factors, among which are
the quality and price of their products, location and attractiveness of
facilities, advertising, quality of service, and availability of capital for
expansion.
5. No Dividends. The Company has not paid any dividends since its
inception and does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable
future.
6. Control of the Company by Management. The present officers and
directors of the Company beneficially own and/or have the right to vote
approximately 38% of the outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, such officers
and directors may be able to elect the entire Board of Directors, to increase
the authorized capital stock, to dissolve, merge or sell the assets of the
Company and, generally, to direct the affairs of the Company.
7. Franchising. The profitability of the Company is in part dependent
on both their present franchisees and their ability to sell new franchises.
Franchisees are independent businessmen, whose operations purchase ice cream
products, generate royalty revenue and who influence the public perceptions of
the Company's products, but over whom the franchisor has limited control.
8. Contingent Lease Liabilities. The Company holds master leases or
has guaranteed leases, expiring at varying dates to 2002, covering franchised
locations. Where the Company holds the master lease, these premises have been
subleased to franchisees under terms and rentals rates substantially the same as
those in master leases. In a majority of these instances, franchisees make all
lease payments directly to the landlords. The Company provides an estimated
liability for lease terminations in the event of a default by franchisee based
on the expected costs of releasing or settlement with landlord. The liability
was $428,000 and $545,000 at December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994,
respectively. Aggregate minimum future rental payments under these leases
approximated $2,769,000 at December 31, 1994.
-10-
<PAGE>
9. Litigation. The Company is from time to time engaged in litigation
with creditors, franchisees and other parties which if adversely determined may
have a material effect on the Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be sold by the Selling
Shareholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest. Such sales may be made from time to time as market conditions permit
in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices on terms then prevailing
or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated
transactions. The Common Stock offered hereby may be sold by one or more of the
following methods, without limitation: (a) a block trade in which the broker or
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Common Stock as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such
broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
and (d) face-to-face transactions between selling shareholders and purchasers
without a broker-dealer. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the
Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate.
Such brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling
Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated prior to the sale. Such brokers or
dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), in connection with such sales. In addition, any securities
covered by this Prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 might be
sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.
The Common Stock covered by this Prospectus is being registered under
the Securities Act.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will receive none of the proceeds from any sales by the
Selling Shareholders of the Common Stock offered hereby.

INDEMNIFICATION

corporation to provide that a director or officer shall have limited liability

Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, which
governs the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a
corporation, is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Section 14A:2-7 of the
New Jersey Business Corporation Act, which provides that a corporation's

and limitations on liability in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted

Item 17. Undertakings.
-------------
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement:
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
-17-
<PAGE>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
