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 3 raise the $1,200,000 necessary to complete its acquisition of the 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.

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, 1998, the Company had no revenue, which was the same for the year ended December 31, 1997.

At that time, the Company changed its name from "Vegas Ventures, Inc." to "TeleMall Communications, Inc."

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.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. The Company shares office space with its attorney and with a related entity. It provides office space to its subsidiary, 20/20 Web Design, Inc., of which it owns 80%, at no charge. The Company's portion of the rent is approximately $1,500 per month and the lease runs through November, 2002. In May, 1999, the Company issued 4,000 (post-split) shares of its common stock to its former landlord to satisfy claims that the former landlord had asserted against the Company for unpaid rent and other charges. In March, 1999, the Company issued 12,500 (post-split) shares of its common stock to its former attorney as compensation for past services. Also in March, 1999, the Company also issued 50,000 (post-split) shares of its common stock to Rex Morden, CFO and director, in cancellation of $41,000 in promissory notes due to him from the Company and as cancellation of certain other debts and obligations the Company owed him. In April, 1999, the Company acquired a private company, Multi-Source Capital Ltd. ("MSC"), a Colorado corporation, by issuing 4,247,754 (post-split) shares of its common stock to MSC's shareholders in exchange for the transfer of assets worth approximately $530,000. As part of this transaction, the two of the Company's former officers and directors resigned and a new slate of officers and directors were elected and appointed. As part of this acquisition, the 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 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. 14 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.
