ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

         On July 28, 2004, RG Global  Lifestyles,  Inc. (the "Company")  entered
into an  Agreement  and Plan of  Reorganization,  dated as of July 28, 2004 (the
"Plan of Reorganization"),  among Amerikal  International Holding, Inc. ("AIH"),
the  Company,  Horst  Geicke,  and the  shareholders  of Amerikal  International
Holding, Inc. (the "AIH Shareholders").  Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization,
the  Company  acquired  all of  the  outstanding  shares  of AIH  from  the  AIH
Shareholders in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the AIH Shareholders
of an aggregate of 1,900,000  shares of the Company's  common stock. The Plan of
Reorganization  also provided for the transfer by an entity  controlled by Horst
Geicke to the AIH  Shareholders  of an  aggregate  of  16,630,607  shares of the
Company's common stock held by the entity in exchange for nominal consideration.

         Prior to the consummation of the transactions  contemplated by the Plan
of Reorganization,  Horst Geicke beneficially held 90% of the outstanding common
stock of the  Company.  After  the  consummation  of the  transactions,  the AIH
Shareholders held an aggregate of 18,530,607 shares, or 86.34%, of the Company's
common stock issued and outstanding after the transactions.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         At the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated by the Plan of
Reorganization,  the Company  acquired all of the outstanding and issued capital
stock of AIH.  The  Company  issued  an  aggregate  of  1,900,000  shares of the
Company's  common  stock  to the AIH  Shareholders.  Immediately  following  the
transactions,  the Company had an aggregate of 21,462,000 shares of common stock
issued  and  outstanding.  As  a  result  of  the  transactions,  AIH  became  a
wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  the  Company.   The  Company  believes  that  the
transactions will qualify as a tax-free  reorganization pursuant to Sections 351
and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         Following the consummation of the transactions,  the Company caused AIH
to be merged with and into the Company  pursuant to a  Certificate  of Ownership
filed with the California  Secretary of State on August 12, 2004 and Articles of
Merger filed with the Nevada  Secretary of State on August 12, 2004. The Company
continued  as the  surviving  entity in the  merger.  As a result of the merger,
Amerikal  Nutraceutical Corp., formerly the direct,  wholly-owned  subsidiary of
AIH  and the  indirect  subsidiary  of  AIH,  became  the  direct,  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
