PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
A) General
The Registrant (the "Company"), formerly known as "Vegas Ventures, Inc."
and "TeleMall Communications, Inc." was engaged in developing its business plan,
marketing analysis and extensive promotional, marketing and advertising efforts
in 1996, after its acquisition of TeleMall Network, Inc. The Registrant intended
to create and implement an inter-active home office business systems during the
later part of 1996 and early 1997. As a result, the Company put on hold its
planned Direct Response and As-Seen-On-TV kiosks. By late 1996, it became
apparent that the Company was not seeing any success in its proposed
inter-active home office business system. The Company had expended all its
capital in these failed ventures and was subsequently unable to raise any
additional capital to fund its operations. By February, 1997, the Company had
ceased operations and closed down its office, letting all of its employees go
since it could no longer afford to pay them. At that time, most of the officers
and directors of the Company resigned.
For most of 1997 and all of 1998, the Company was an inactive/dormant
company. In early 1999, its Board of Directors entered into negotiations to
acquire Multi-Source Capital, Ltd. ("MSC"), a Colorado corporation. As a
condition to completing that acquisition, the Company's shareholders approved a
200-to-1 reverse stock split and changed the Company's name to "Stein's
Holdings, Inc." MSC was a company engaged in web design, through a wholly owned
subsidiary, 20/20 Web Design, Inc., import/export, business consulting and
related services. Also, MSC had entered into an agreement with College
Connection, Inc. dba Stein's Bakery, Inc. in Lewisville, Texas to acquire its
bakery operations. As part of that proposed acquisition, MSC had to raise
$1,200,000 to pay off certain liabilities of the bakery. MSC assigned that
contract to the Company as part of its acquisition. MSC also transferred assets,
consisting mostly of cash and securities, to the Company in exchange for the
issuance of 4,247,754 shares of the Company's stock to the MSC shareholders. As
part of this transaction, two of the former Board members resigned. The size of
the Board was increased to five and four new directors were appointed to the
Board.
B) Narrative Description of Business
During 1997, the Company had no operations and earned no revenues. Since its
acquisition of MSC, the Company has been attempting to raise the $1,200,000
necessary to complete its acquisition of the
3
<PAGE>
bakery operation in Texas. To date, the Company has been unsuccessful and it is
doubtful that the Company will be able to consummate that transaction. At the
present time, the Company is investing the capital it does have to fund its
operations as it seeks a new business direction. Management will continue its
consideration of opportunities to establish a business for the Company.
The Company owns 80% of 20/20 Web Design, Inc., a Nevada corporation
traded on the Electronic Bulletin Board under "TWEB".
Item 2. Properties.
The Company presently shares office space with a related entity and its
attorney. The Company's portion of the rent is approximately $1,500 and the
lease expires in 2002. The Company anticipates that this space is sufficient for
the near future.
Item 3 Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On April 13, 1999, the Company held a special meeting of its shareholders
to approve the proposed name change to "Stein's Holdings, Inc." and to approve a
200-to-1 reverse stock split. A majority of the shareholders approved these
changes. Of the 21,375,105 shares of common stock issued and outstanding,
13,550,311 approved the name change and the reverse stock split.
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters.

Board since Spring, 1996 under the symbol "TELM" and since April, 1999, under

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation.
During 1997, the Company ad no operations and no revenues. It closed it
offices and laid off all employees in late 1996 and early 1997. The Company
intended to create and implement inter-active home office business systems
during the later part of 1996 and early 1997 but was unsuccessful. The Company
also put on hold its planned Direct Response and As-Seen-On-TV kiosks it had
previously been involved in developing. By late 1996, it became apparent that
the Company was not experiencing any success in its proposed inter- active home
office business systems. The Company had expended all its capital in these
failed ventures and was subsequently unable to raise any additional capital to
fund its operations. In 1997, most of the officers and directors of the Company
resigned.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company had no revenue compared
to revenues of $177,743 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Company also

expenses of $561,494. In addition, in 1996, the
6
<PAGE>
Company's landlord repossessed certain assets of the Company in satisfaction of
past due rent owed by the Company to the landlord. These repossessed assets
totaled $173,623, resulting in total operating expenses of $735,117 for the year
ended December 31, 1996. The Company had a net loss for the year ended December
31, 1996 of ($281,412), compared to no gain or loss for the year ended December
31, 1997 when the Company experienced no operations and generated no revenue.
In 1996, the Company acquired TeleMall Network, Inc. and its assets in
exchange for the issuance of 2,933,000 shares of the Company's common stock,
post split. At that time, the Company changed its name from "Vegas Ventures,
Inc." to "TeleMall Communications, Inc." The Company, as part of its acquisition
of TeleMall Networks, Inc., approved a ten-for-one reverse stock split and the
shares issued to TeleMall Network, Inc. were issued post- split. TeleMall

was issued to Cable Print Network in exchange for inventory of Len Garon artwork
valued at $3,101,061. These Preferred Shares were subsequently canceled in March
1999 because the Company never received title nor possession of the artwork. An
additional 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock were issued to Aristocrat Endeavor
Fund in exchange for 100,000 shares of Aristocrat Endeavor Fund. The investment
was in the form of a mutual fund held in the British Virgin Islands. The Company
anticipated redeeming $500,000 worth of these shares after the redemption period
expired on August 1, 1996. Ultimately, the Company was never able to redeem
these shares and the Preferred Shares were also canceled in March, 1999 because
the Company never received title nor possession of the shares from the
Aristocrat Endeavor Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company borrowed $41,000 from
Rex Morden, an officer and director of the Company. This debt was satisfied in

shareholders of the Company approved a 200-for-1 stock split and the name of the
Company was changed to Stein's Holdings, Inc. At this time, the Company assumed
an agreement previously entered into by MSC to acquire College Connection, Inc.
d.b.a. Stein's Bakery, a wholesale and retail bakery operation located in
Dallas, Texas. The proposed acquisition of Stein's Bakery requires the Company
to raise approximately $1,200,000 to pay off certain indebtedness of Stein's
Bakery as well as the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock
to the sole shareholder of Stein's Bakery. As of the date of this report, the
proposed acquisition of Stein's Bakery has not occurred and the Company has been
unable to raise the $1,200,000 needed to consummate this transaction. It is
unlikely
14
<PAGE>
that the Company will be able to complete this transaction. The president of
Stein's Bakery is Randy Sutton, former CEO and director of the Company.
As a consequence of its acquisition of MSC, the Company became the
majority shareholder of another publicly traded company, 20/20 Web Design, Inc.
("20/20 Web"), a Nevada corporation formerly known as Trump Oil Corporation.
20/20 Web merged with MSC's wholly owned subsidiary and MSC received eighty
percent of the issued and outstanding shares of 20/20 Web as a result of that
merger.
As part of its efforts to acquire Stein's Bakery, the Company lent $37,500
to Stein's Bakery. In addition, the Company guaranteed an obligation of Stein's
Bakery in the principal amount of $25,000. If Stein's Bakery does not pay this
debt, the Company will remain obligated to pay this debt. The Company is
presently negotiating the repayment of the $37,500 debt by Stein's Bakery. In
addition, 20/20 Web Design, Inc. lent $195,000 to Stein's Cake Box, Inc., a
related entity of Stein's Bakery, and 20/20 Web Design, Inc. is presently
negotiating the repayment of that debt.

ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of TeleMall Communications, Inc.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of TeleMall Communications, Inc.,
(formerly Vegas Ventures, Inc.), a development stage company as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of TeleMall Communications, Inc. at
the date listed above, and the results of its operations, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
