    Odd's-N-End's, Inc. (the "Company") hereby amends its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 31, 1998, to
include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K contained in this
Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 1 does not include any revisions to the text
of such Annual Report.
 
                                    PART III
 
ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
 
            SECTION 16(a)  BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") requires the Company's executive officers, directors and persons
who own more than 10% of a class of the Company's equity securities registered
pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the Commission. Executive officers, directors and
greater than 10% stockholders are required by the Commission's regulations to
furnish the Company with Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its
review of such forms it has received, the Company believes that Messrs. Richard
Ennen, Robert Langer and Dennis Hill did not file Form 3s with respect to
becoming directors and officers of the Company and will file such Form 3s late.
 
ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
    None of the Company's executive officers or directors during the year ended
December 31, 1997 received compensation or benefits of any kind or nature
required to be disclosed under Item 11 of Form 10-K. Since 1995, Universal
International, Inc. ("Universal"), which owns approximately 41% of the Company's
outstanding common stock, has provided certain accounting, operational and
administrative services to the Company. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions."

    The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.07 per share (the "Common Stock") with the
cumulative total return of the Nasdaq Stock Market Index and the Nasdaq Retail

in each of the Company's Common Stock, the Nasdaq Stock Market Index and the
Nasdaq Retail Index. The stock price performance shown in this graph is neither
necessarily indicative of nor intended to suggest future stock price
performance.

*   Represents less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
 
(1) In January 1998, Mr. Ravich resigned as President of the Company and Mr.
    Ennen was appointed President of the Company.
 
    On March 24, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with 99 CENTS Only Stores, which owns
approximately 48% of the outstanding common stock of Universal. The Merger
Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
therein, the Company will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of 99 CENTS Only
Stores, and each stockholder of the Company other than Universal will receive
$0.30 in cash for each share of the Company's Common Stock owned by such holder.
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are described in
a preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the
Commission on April 28, 1998.
 
   99 CENTS Only Stores also has made an offer to acquire all outstanding shares
of Universal common stock that it does not currently own in exchange for shares
of 99 CENTS Only Stores common stock, at an exchange ratio of one share of
99 CENTS Only Stores common stock for every 16 shares of Universal common stock.
Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the
consummation of the exchange offer and 99 CENTS Only Stores' ownership upon such
consummation of at least 80% of the outstanding Universal common stock.
 
ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
    Universal owns approximately 41% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock,
which Universal acquired through a cash investment of $953,000 in connection
with the confirmation of the Company's plan of bankruptcy reorganization in
December 1994. The Company relies on Universal to a significant degree for,
among other things, the Company's financing needs, supplies of merchandise and
management expertise.
 
    In February 1995, the Company entered into a demand discretionary revolving
credit facility with Universal which, as amended, provides for borrowings with
interest payable at prime plus 2.5% (11.0% at December 31, 1997 and 10.75% at
December 31, 1996). Borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's assets. There were borrowings outstanding under the Universal facility
of $10.5 million at March 31, 1998.
 
    The Company purchases substantially all of its merchandise from Universal
under the terms of a supply agreement. The supply agreement permits Universal to
achieve a gross margin of approximately
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
15.25% on the merchandise sold to the Company. As a result of this arrangement,
the Company is highly dependent upon Universal's ability to obtain merchandise.
 
    Each director and executive officer of the Company is an officer of
Universal or Only Deals, Inc., Universal's wholly owned subsidiary.
Additionally, Universal provides accounting, operating and administrative
functions for the Company.
