PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

VITACUBE SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC.

Units

each unit consisting of two shares of common stock, one redeemable Class A
public warrant and one redeemable Class B public warrant

This is a public offering of securities of VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. Our securities are being offered in units, each unit consisting of two shares of our common stock, one Class A public warrant to purchase one share of our common stock and one Class B public warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. The Class A and Class B public warrants will trade only as a part of a unit for 45 days following the effective date of this offering unless The Shemano Group, Inc., the representative of the underwriters, determines that separate trading of the public warrants should occur earlier. Each Class A public warrant will entitle its owner to purchase one share of our common stock for $ per share subject to adjustment, including anti-dilution provisions for corporate events such as stock splits. Each Class B public warrant will entitle its owner to purchase one share of our common stock for $ per share subject to adjustment, including anti-dilution provisions for corporate events such as stock splits. Each Class A and Class B public warrant may be exercised at any time after 45 days from the effective date of this offering or such earlier date as the public warrant becomes separately traded and thereafter for five years after the effective date of this offering unless we have redeemed them. At any time after the first anniversary after the effective date of this offering, we may redeem some or all of the Class A public warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, upon 30 days' notice so long as the last reported sales price per share of our common stock as reported by the principal exchange or trading market on which our common stock trades equals or exceeds $ for 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the date we give notice of redemption. We may redeem some or all of the Class B public warrants under the same conditions at a price of $0.01 per public warrant except the last reported sales price per share of our common stock must be at least $ for such period.

Our common stock trades on the National Association of Securities Dealers Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "VCUB.OB." On , 2004, the last reported sales price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was $ . We have applied to list our common stock, units and Class A and Class B public warrants under the symbols " ," " ," " " and " ," respectively, on the American Stock Exchange, and plan to be so listed concurrently with the effectiveness of this offering.

The initial public offering price will be $ per unit. Unless otherwise indicated, all shares and per-share information in this prospectus gives retroactive effect to a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of our common stock that we expect to consummate on December 8, 2004. The initial public offering price of the units will be based on various factors, including the reported sales price per share of our common stock as reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and any other reverse stock split we may effect prior to this offering, and will be determined by negotiations between us and The Shemano Group, Inc., the representative of the underwriters.

Investing in the securities offered by this prospectus involves significant risks. We urge you to read carefully the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 8 where we describe specific risks you should consider before buying these units.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

YOUR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. These securities may be sold only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the effective date of this offering, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of the securities. You must not consider that the delivery of this prospectus or any sale of the securities covered by this prospectus implies that there has been no change in our affairs since the effective date of this offering or that the information contained in this prospectus is current or complete as of any time after the effective date of this offering.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding us and the securities being offered for sale by means of this prospectus and our financial statements and notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references in this prospectus to "we," "our," "us" or the "Company" refer to VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, VitaCube Systems, Inc. ("V3S"), a Colorado corporation that was acquired by us in a stock-for-stock exchange in June 2003, and VitaCube Network, Inc., a Colorado corporation formed as our network marketing subsidiary in July 2003.

Our Business

We develop, sell, market and distribute nutritional supplement products primarily through direct sales or network marketing in which independent distributors sell our products, as well as purchase them for their own personal use. We also sell our products directly to professional and Olympic athletes and to professional sports teams.

Our independent distributors are encouraged to build a sales organization consisting of customers and other independent distributors that they recruit and enroll with us. The new independent distributors and customers are classified as part of the recruiting independent distributor's sales network in that distributor's "downline" organization.

Our product lines consist of two powdered beverages, 12 individual supplements packaged in our VitaCube®, and four supplements sold separately. Our VitaCube® is an easy to use, compartmentalized box with instructions for which supplements to take and the proper times to take them.

Our products were formulated for use by professional and Olympic athletes, with sales beginning in the third quarter of 2001. In 2002, we marketed our products to consumers through retail outlets and in-house telemarketing. In the third quarter of 2003, we refocused our marketing plan to concentrate on direct marketing while continuing to sell our products directly to professional and Olympic athletes and to professional sports teams.

We chose direct selling as our primary distribution channel because we believe:

•: sales and distribution growth can occur without significant additional capital outlays and with minimal incremental increases in general and administrative costs;
•: advancements in Internet technology over the past few years make it easier for distributors to develop, build and maintain sales organizations; and
•: compared to other distribution methods, our distributors can provide customers high levels of service, education and attention.

Our Business Strategy

Our business strategy is centered on adding independent distributors, increasing the number of professional athletes endorsing our products to enhance our brand and developing additional products. We believe this plan should result in increased sales of our products. In the event our business plan is

successful in the U.S., we would expect to expand our business to international markets. We are focusing on the following three key strategies:

Add Proven Sales Leaders. We plan to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to continue to recruit experienced sales leaders that can attract and train significant numbers of new independent distributors. In 2004, we entered into agreements with three sales leaders, each with more than 10 years of direct selling experience.

Add New Endorsers. We are seeking to add new endorsers in sports such as basketball, golf and NASCAR auto racing, all of which have a significant number of fans which we believe will be receptive to our products. We also believe that our endorsers in these sports will be beneficial to us in recruiting new independent distributors.

Develop New Products. In 2005, we plan to introduce two to four new products including a healthy "instant food" product and healthy snack to complement our current products.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe our core strengths are in five areas: brand position, product offerings, selling system, operational infrastructure and corporate management.

Brand Position. We believe that endorsements by professional and Olympic athletes help establish our brand with nutritional supplement consumers. We have entered into endorsement contracts with athletes in football, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, skiing, snowboarding, golf and track and field.

We compensate several well-known sports celebrities through discounted product prices, cash and stock options in exchange for the use of their testimonials, photographs and video footage in our marketing materials and website. Some of our celebrity endorsers include:

•: Mike Shanahan (football): Head Coach, Denver Broncos—five Super Bowl teams;
•: Curt Schilling (baseball): Pitcher, Boston Red Sox—World Series Co-MVP;
•: Randy Johnson (baseball): Pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks—four-time Cy Young Award Winner and 2001 World Series Co-MVP;
•: Mike Alstott (football): Fullback, Tampa Bay Buccaneers—four-time Pro Bowl selection;
•: John Lynch (football): Safety, Denver Broncos—five-time Pro Bowl selection;
•: Gary Gait (lacrosse): Forward, Colorado Mammoth—six-time National Lacrosse League MVP; and
•: Megan Addy (track and field): world-ranked 400 meter hurdler.

While these endorsers use and endorse our products, no endorsement by any of them as to the merits of the securities offered by this prospectus should be inferred.

Product Offerings. We developed our line of proprietary nutritional supplement products and packaging systems for professional athletes. These same products, which we continue to sell to professional athletes, are available to the general public.

The formulations of our products are based on publicly available scientific research. Key attributes of our products are:

•: the ingredients are combined in a manner so that their effectiveness is not impaired;
•: the products do not contain adulterated ingredients such as ephedra, creatine, androstenedione, aspartame, steroids or human growth hormones; and

•: the tablets, capsules and soft gels are designed to dissolve readily to facilitate absorption.

Simple Selling System. Our products are marketed through a simple three-step system to quickly and consistently recruit new independent distributors and customers. First, we invite people to learn about our Company and sample our products. Second, we educate potential new customers and distributors. Third, we use our experienced independent distributors to assist prospects in deciding what products to purchase and how to become an independent distributor.

Operational Infrastructure. We believe we can significantly expand our business without substantial additional investment in infrastructure. We incur minimal incremental costs with each added distributor or customer. We utilize our Internet operations to enable online ordering of our products, to enroll new distributors and customers, and to broadcast our training program for new independent distributors.

Corporate Management. Collectively, our management team and board of directors have worked for many years for start-up growth companies, leading direct selling companies and for leading nutritional supplement companies.

Corporate Structure and Information

We were incorporated on January 9, 2001, under the name "Instanet, Inc." Instanet was originally formed to provide Internet funds transfers, but had no operating revenues and was a development stage company. In June 2003, Instanet acquired V3S, a Colorado corporation formed in October 2000, in a stock-for-stock exchange. In the transaction, all of the stock of V3S was exchanged for 2,714,403 shares of common stock of Instanet, then representing a 90% ownership interest. After the exchange, V3S became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Instanet, V3S's management became management of Instanet and Instanet changed its name to VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. The description of our historical business describes the business conducted by V3S. Instanet discontinued its business prior to the stock-for-stock exchange.

We maintain our principal executive offices at 480 South Holly Street, Denver, Colorado 80246, and our telephone number is (303) 316-8577. Our website is located at http://www.v3s.com. The information on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have a history of operating losses and a significant accumulated deficit, and we may never achieve profitability.

We have not been profitable since inception in 2001. We had a net loss of $2,084,982 for the year ended December 31, 2003, and a net loss of $1,717,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $6,585,594. We may never achieve or maintain profitability. Our ability to achieve and maintain a profit is dependent upon our attracting and maintaining a large base of independent distributors who generate significant sales.

Assuming successful completion of this offering, we expect to incur operating losses for at least the next 12 to 18 months, depending primarily on our sales levels. We will incur significant expenses in seeking to expand our sales, including marketing and promotional expenditures directed at increasing consumer awareness of our products, differentiating our products from competing products, and building a productive direct sales force. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in expanding our sales or in achieving profits.

We may be unable to continue as a going concern in which case our securities will have little or no value.

Our independent auditor has noted in its report concerning our financial statements as of December 31, 2003, that we have incurred substantial losses since inception and at December 31, 2003, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets, which raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event we are not able to continue operations you will likely suffer a complete loss of your investment in our securities. See the auditors' report on our consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this prospectus.

Because our working capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant, we may need funds in addition to the net proceeds of this offering or we would not be able to continue to operate our business. If our business fails, then you could lose your entire investment.

Upon completion of this offering, we expect that our available funds will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital needs for 12 to 18 months, depending primarily upon our sales levels. If our assumptions are incorrect we would require additional capital beyond the cash generated from our operations, and we would need to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to obtain financing when needed could force us to reduce or terminate operations which would lower or eliminate revenues, which would severely jeopardize our ability to stay in business. Any additional equity financing could substantially dilute your equity interests in our Company and any debt financing could impose significant financial and operational restrictions on us.

Our limited operating history and recent change in marketing strategy make it difficult to evaluate our prospects.

We have a limited operating history on which to evaluate our business and prospects. Our products were formulated in 2000 and 2001, and we began selling our products to the general public in early 2002. In late 2003, we began to refocus our sales and marketing efforts on direct sales of products

through our network of independent distributors. There is no assurance that we will achieve significant sales as a result of this new strategy. Our revenue for the first nine months of 2004 decreased by 45% compared to the same period during 2003 due in large part to the start up efforts relating to our direct sales program. There is no assurance that we will achieve significant sales as a result of our new marketing strategy.

We also may not be successful in addressing our operating challenges such as establishing a viable network of independent distributors, developing brand awareness and expanding our market presence. Our prospects for profitability must be considered in light of our evolving business model. These factors make it difficult to assess our prospects.

Our failure to recruit, maintain and motivate a large base of productive independent distributors could limit our ability to generate revenues.

To increase revenue, we must increase the sales and recruiting productivity of our independent distributors. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in recruiting and retaining productive independent distributors, particularly since direct sales organizations usually experience high turnover rates of independent distributors. Our independent distributors can terminate their relationships with us at any time. The distributors also typically work on a part-time basis and may engage in other business activities, which may reduce their efforts for us.

In recruiting and keeping independent distributors, we will be subject to significant competition from other direct sales organizations, both inside and outside our industry. Our ability to attract and retain independent distributors will be dependent on the attractiveness of our compensation plan, our product mix, and the support we offer to our independent distributors. Adverse publicity concerning direct sales marketing and public perception of direct selling businesses generally could negatively affect our ability to attract, motivate and retain independent distributors.

We anticipate that our independent distributor organization will be headed by a relatively small number of key independent distributors who together with their downline network will be responsible for a disproportionate amount of revenues. The loss of key independent distributors will adversely affect our revenues and could adversely affect our ability to attract other independent distributors, especially if an independent distributor takes other independent distributors of ours to a competitor or to any other organization.

A change in the amount of compensation paid to our independent distributors could reduce our ability to recruit and retain them and to realize a profit.

We expect that one of our significant expenses will be payment of compensation to our independent distributors. This compensation includes commissions, bonuses, awards and prizes. We may change our independent distributor compensation plan in seeking to better manage these incentives, to monitor the amount of independent distributor compensation paid and to prevent independent distributor compensation from having a significant adverse effect on our revenues. Changes to our independent distributor compensation plan may make it difficult for us to recruit and retain qualified and motivated independent distributors.

We are not in a position to exert the same level of influence or control over our independent distributors as we could if they were our employees, and we may be subject to significant costs and reputational harm in the event our independent distributors violate any laws or regulations applicable to our operations.

Our independent distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to provide the same level of control and oversight as we would if independent distributors were our employees. While we have implemented independent distributor policies and procedures

designed to govern independent distributor conduct and to protect our goodwill, there can be no assurance that our independent distributors will comply with our policies and procedures. Violations by our independent distributors of applicable law or of our policies and procedures dealing with customers could reflect negatively on our products and operations and harm our business reputation.

In addition, extensive federal, state and local laws regulate our direct selling program. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") or a court could hold us liable for the actions of our independent distributors. The FTC could also find us liable civilly for deceptive advertising if health benefit representations made by our independent distributors are not supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. If any of these representations made by our independent distributors were deemed fraudulent, the FTC could refer the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal fraud prosecution. Also, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") could seek to hold us civilly and criminally liable for misbranding, for adulteration, or for sale of an unapproved new drug if an independent distributor were to make false or misleading claims, sell a product past its shelf life, or represent that any of our products were intended for use in the cure, treatment, or prevention of a disease or health-related condition. While we train our independent distributors and attempt to monitor our independent distributors' marketing claims and sales materials, we cannot ensure that all of these materials comply with applicable law.

Our direct selling program through independent distributors could be found not to be in compliance with current or newly adopted laws or regulations, which could subject us to increased costs and reduced distributor participation in sales efforts, and our revenues would decrease significantly.

Our direct marketing program could be found to violate laws or regulations applicable to direct selling marketing organizations. These laws and regulations generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as "pyramid" or "chain sales" schemes, by ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization's products rather than investments in the organization or other non-retail sales-related criteria. The regulations concerning these types of marketing programs do not include "bright line" rules and are inherently fact-based. Thus, even in jurisdictions where we believe that our direct selling program is in full compliance with applicable laws or regulations governing direct selling programs, we are subject to the risk that these laws or regulations or the enforcement or interpretation of them by governmental agencies or courts can change. The failure of our direct selling program to comply with current or newly adopted laws or regulations could result in costs and fines to us and make our independent distributors reluctant to continue their sales efforts, which would reduce our revenues significantly.

We are also subject to the risk of private party challenges to the legality of our direct selling program. Direct selling programs of some other companies have been successfully challenged in the past. An adverse judicial determination with respect to our direct selling program, or in proceedings not involving us directly but which challenge the legality of direct selling systems, could have a material adverse effect on our sales efforts, leading to lower revenues.

We may be held responsible for taxes or assessments relating to the activities of our independent distributors resulting in greater costs to us.

We treat our independent distributors as independent contractors and do not pay social security or similar taxes with respect to compensation paid to them. In the event that we are required to treat our independent distributors as employees, rather than independent contractors, we may be held responsible for social security and related taxes, plus any related assessments and penalties, which could significantly increase our operating costs.

We are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints which can make compliance costly and subject us to enforcement actions by governmental agencies.

The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, holding, storage, distribution, advertising and sale of our products are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations and policies, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints at the federal, state and local levels. There can be no assurance that we or our independent distributors will be in compliance with all of these regulations. A failure by us or our distributors to comply with these laws and regulations could lead to governmental investigations, civil and criminal prosecutions, administrative hearings and court proceedings, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions against product sales or advertising, civil and criminal liability for the Company and/or its principals, bad publicity, and tort claims arising out of governmental or judicial findings of fact or conclusions of law adverse to the Company or its principals. In addition, the adoption of new regulations and policies or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations and policies may result in significant new compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, resulting in decreases in revenues.

The FDA regulates our products and our product labeling. Among other matters the FDA regulates nutrient content and ingredient information, claims of the effect of a dietary supplement or dietary ingredient on a body structure or function, and claims of the effect of a dietary supplement or dietary ingredient on disease or risk of disease. The FDA can initiate civil and criminal proceedings against persons who make false or misleading claims on labels or in labeling, who engage in misbranding, who evidence an intent to sell their products for a therapeutic use not approved by the agency, who sell misbranded products, or who sell adulterated products. The FDA can also require the recall of all products that are misbranded or adulterated.

The FTC has jurisdiction over our product advertising. The FTC can initiate civil proceedings for deceptive advertising and deceptive advertising practices. It can seek for companies to make payments to consumers or disgorgement of profits from the sale of any product held to have been deceptively advertised. The FTC or a federal court can require a company found liable to give notice of the availability of refunds in part or whole for the product purchase price for all products sold through use of advertising deemed deceptive.

State authorities may likewise bring enforcement actions for misbranding, adulteration, and deceptive advertising. Those actions may be pursued simultaneously with federal actions.

On March 13, 2003, the FDA proposed a new regulation to require current Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines ("cGMPs") in the manufacture, packing, holding, and distribution of nutritional supplements. The proposed rules would establish minimum standards that must be met by all companies that manufacture, package, and hold nutritional supplements in the United States. Violation of those standards would render the products in question presumptively adulterated and unlawful to sell. The proposed cGMPs would require manufacturers to follow procedures that would track nutrients from source to finished product, test nutrients for identity, purity, quality, strength, and composition at each stage of production, and record full compliance with specific regulations governing production, manufacture, and holding of nutritional supplements. The cGMPs may be adopted by the end of 2004 and may become fully effective by 2007. We expect that the cGMPs will increase our product costs by requiring our various contract manufacturers to expend additional capital and resources on quality control testing, new personnel, plant redesign, new equipment, facilities placement, recordkeeping and ingredient and product testing.

The FDA and some state agencies invite the public to complain if they experience any adverse effects from the consumption of nutritional supplements. These complaints may be made public. Regardless of whether complaints of this kind are substantiated or proven, public release of complaints of this type may have an adverse effect upon public perception of us, the quality of our products or the

prudence of taking our products. Changes in consumer attitudes based on adverse event reports could adversely affect the potential market for and sales of our products and make it more difficult to recruit and retain independent distributors and obtain endorsers.

We are dependent on a limited number of independent suppliers and manufacturers of our products, which may affect our ability to deliver our products in a timely manner. If we are not able to ensure timely product deliveries, potential distributors and customers may not order our products, and our revenues may decrease.

We rely entirely on a limited number of third parties to supply and manufacture our products. Our manufacturers produce our products on a purchase order basis only and can terminate their relationships with us at will. These third parties may be unable to satisfy our supply requirements, manufacture our products on a timely basis, fill and ship our orders promptly, provide services at competitive costs or offer reliable products and services. The failure to meet of any of these critical needs would delay or reduce product shipment and adversely affect our revenues, as well as jeopardize our relationships with our independent distributors and customers. In the event any of our third party manufacturers were to become unable or unwilling to continue to provide us with products in required volumes and at suitable quality levels, we would be required to identify and obtain acceptable replacement manufacturing sources. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain alternative manufacturing sources on a timely basis. An extended interruption in the supply of our products would result in decreased product sales and our revenues would likely decline.

We are dependent on our third party manufacturers to supply our products in the compositions we require, and we do not independently analyze our products. Any errors in our product manufacturing could result in product recalls, significant legal exposure, and reduced revenues and the loss of distributors.

While we require that our manufacturers verify the accuracy of the contents of our products, we do not have the expertise or personnel to monitor the production of products by these third parties. We rely exclusively, without independent verification, on certificates of analysis regarding product content provided by our third party suppliers and limited safety testing by them. We cannot be assured that these outside manufacturers will continue to supply products to us reliably in the compositions we require. Errors in the manufacture of our products could result in product recalls, significant legal exposure, adverse publicity, decreased revenues, and loss of distributors and endorsers.

We face significant competition from existing suppliers of products similar to ours. If we are not able to compete with these companies effectively, then we may not be profitable.

We face intense competition from numerous resellers, manufacturers and wholesalers of energy drinks, protein shakes and nutritional supplements similar to ours, including retail, online and mail order providers. Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, established brands in the marketplace, revenues significantly greater than ours, more capital and better access to capital than us. These competitors may use their resources to engage in various business activities that could result in reduced sales of our products. Companies with greater capital and research capabilities could re-formulate existing products or formulate new products that could gain wide marketplace acceptance, which could have a depressive effect on our future sales. In addition, aggressive advertising and promotion by our competitors may require us to compete by lowering prices because we do not have the resources to engage in marketing campaigns against these competitors, and the economic viability of our operations likely would be diminished.

We may not be able to attract high visibility endorsers, which may result in reduced product sales for us.

A principal component of our marketing program is the use and endorsement of our products by well-known professional and Olympic athletes and others associated with professional sports teams. Although we have obtained several well-known sports celebrities as endorsers of our products, some of these persons may not continue their endorsements, may not continue to succeed in their fields, may engage in activities which could bring disrepute on themselves and, in turn, on us and our products, and our revenues could suffer. We also may not be able to attract new endorsers, especially sports celebrities that may emerge in the future. Competition for endorsers is significant and adverse publicity regarding us or our industry could make it more difficult to attract and retain endorsers.

Adverse publicity associated with our products, ingredients or direct selling program, or those of similar companies, could adversely affect our sales and revenues.

Adverse publicity concerning any actual or purported failure of our Company or our independent distributors to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding any aspect of our business could have an adverse effect on the public perception of our Company. This, in turn, could negatively affect our ability to obtain endorsers and attract, motivate and retain independent distributors, which would have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sales and revenues.

Our independent distributors' and customers' perception of the safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by others can be significantly influenced by national media attention, publicized scientific research or findings, product liability claims and other publicity concerning our products or similar products distributed by others. Adverse publicity, whether or not accurate, that associates consumption of our products or any similar products with illness or other adverse effects, will likely diminish the public's perception of our products. Claims that any products are ineffective, inappropriately labeled or have inaccurate instructions as to their use, could have a material adverse effect on the market demand for our products, including reducing our sales and revenues.

The results of new nutritional dietary supplement studies could be contrary to general industry knowledge on which the formulation and marketing of our products are based and could materially and adversely impact our product sales. The federal government, research institutes, universities and others regularly conduct research into the use, effectiveness and potential for adverse results from the use of nutritional dietary supplements. Even if adverse studies are subject to substantial criticism or not supported by accepted scientific methodology, publicity surrounding the reports of these studies may result in flat or decreased sales of our products. In the past few years, the effectiveness of, and potential for harm from, some of the leading herbal supplements, which contain ingredients not in our products, have come into question as a result of research studies. These negative study results and other negative publicity could adversely affect the potential market and sales of our products.

Nutritional supplement products may be supported by only limited conclusive clinical studies resulting in less market acceptance of these products and lower revenues or lower growth rates in revenues.

Our nutritional supplement products are made from vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, botanicals, and other substances for which there is a long history of human consumption. However, there is little long-term experience with human consumption of certain product ingredients or combinations of ingredients in concentrated form. Although we believe all of our products fall within the generally known safe limits for daily doses of each ingredient contained within them, nutrition science is imperfect. Moreover, some people have peculiar sensitivities or reactions to nutrients commonly found in foods and may have similar sensitivities or reactions to nutrients contained in our products. Furthermore, nutrition science is subject to change based on new research. New scientific

evidence may disprove the efficacy of our products or prove our products to have effects not previously known. We could be adversely affected in the event that our products should prove to be or if they are asserted to be ineffective or harmful to consumers, or if adverse effects are associated with a competitor's similar products.

Our products have higher prices than the products of most of our competitors, which may make it difficult for us to achieve significant revenues.

We may have difficulty in achieving market acceptance of our products because our products are among the highest priced in their categories due to the ingredients that we require in our products. While we believe that our products are superior to competing, lower priced products, consumers must be educated about our products. If we are unable to achieve market acceptance, we will have difficulty in achieving revenue growth, which would likely result in continuing operating losses.

The sale of our products involves product liability and related risks that could expose us to significant insurance and loss expenses.

We face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of our products results in, or is believed to have resulted in, illness or injury. Most of our products contain combinations of ingredients, and there is little long-term experience with the effect of these combinations. In addition, interactions of these products with other products, prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs have not been fully explored or understood and may have unintended consequences. While our third party manufacturers perform tests in connection with the formulations of our products, these tests are not designed to evaluate the inherent safety of our products.

Although we maintain product liability insurance, it may not be sufficient to cover product liability claims and such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business. The successful assertion or settlement of an uninsured claim, a significant number of insured claims or a claim exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage would harm us by adding further costs to our business and by diverting the attention of our senior management from the operation of our business. Even if we successfully defend a liability claim, the uninsured litigation costs and adverse publicity may be harmful to our business.

Any product liability claim may increase our costs, and adversely affect our revenues and operating income. Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious adverse event may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles, and may make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future. In addition, our product liability insurance may fail to cover future product liability claims, which if adversely determined could subject us to substantial monetary damages.

We have primarily used one individual to formulate all of our products, and the loss of his services may result in delays in formulating new products and our revenues may decrease.

The loss of the services of Dr. William Wheeler, a nutritionist, could have an adverse effect on our future revenues, as he is the primary person responsible for the formulation of all of our existing products. Dr. Wheeler is an independent contractor to us, and there is no assurance that he will be available to formulate new products for us. In addition, Dr. Wheeler formulates nutritional products for others, including his own company, and these products may compete with our products. If he is unavailable to us for any reason, our ability to formulate new products may be impaired, which could result in lower revenues.

A slower growth rate in the nutritional supplement industry could lessen our sales and make it more difficult for us to achieve growth and become profitable.

Nutritional supplement companies, analysts, publications and other industry sources have indicated that the nutritional supplement industry has experienced a significantly slower rate of growth in recent years, although available data revealed this trend was reversed in 2003, and numbers for 2004 are not available. In our view, this slowdown may be attributable in part to the maturing of the market for nutritional supplements, the lack of any significant developments of new products over the past few years, negative publicity about the effectiveness of some ingredients in certain nutritional supplements, the increase in the number of products competing in the industry, and the increased number of private label brands. Despite the growth in 2003, a slowdown in the industry's rate of growth could continue over the long term and impair the prospects for increasing the sale of and the demand for our products.

New products may render our products obsolete and our sales may suffer.

The nutritional supplement market historically has been influenced by "fad" products that became popular due to changing consumer tastes and media attention. Our products may be rendered obsolete by changes in popular tastes as well as media attention on new products or adverse media attention on nutritional supplements, which could reduce our sales. It may be difficult for us to change our product line to adapt to changing tastes. In addition, other "fad" food regimens, such as low carbohydrate diets, may decrease the overall popularity and use of our products.

If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, then we may not be able to compete effectively and we may not be profitable.

Our existing proprietary rights may not afford remedies and protections necessary to prevent infringement, reformulation, theft, misappropriation and other improper use of our products by competitors. We own the formulations contained in our products. We consider our product formulations our critical proprietary property, which must be protected from competitors. We do not have any patents because we do not believe they are necessary to protect our proprietary rights. Although trade secret, trademark, copyright and patent laws generally provide such protection and we may attempt to protect ourselves through contracts with manufacturers of our products, we may not be successful in enforcing our rights. In addition, enforcement of our proprietary rights may require lengthy and expensive litigation. We have attempted to protect the trade names and trademarks used for our products by registering them with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, but we must rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks. Common law trademark rights do not provide the same remedies as are granted to federally registered trademarks and the rights of a common law trademark are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used. Our inability to protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse impact on our ability to compete and could make it difficult for us to achieve a profit.

Loss of key personnel could impair our ability to operate.

Our future success depends on the skills, experience and efforts of our executive officers. The active involvement and participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Sanford D. Greenberg, is critical to our success. The loss of Mr. Greenberg's services could impair and delay our ability to operate and could cause us to go out of business. Although we have a $5 million key man insurance policy on the life of Mr. Greenberg and an employment contract with him, we have no arrangement providing for his disability or loss of his services for reasons other than death.

Our success also depends on hiring, retaining and integrating senior management and skilled employees, including Timothy Transtrum, our Chief Operating Officer, and David Litt, our Vice

President of Sales and Marketing, in order to expand our business. As with all personal service providers, our officers can terminate their relationship with us at will. Our inability to retain these individuals may result in our reduced ability to operate our business.

Risks Related to This Offering

The price of our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations and your investment could decline in value.

The market price of the securities of a company such as ours with little name recognition in the financial community and without significant revenues can be subject to wide price swings. For example, the bid price of our common stock has ranged from a high $16.25 and a low $0.75 during the seven quarters ended September 30, 2004. The market price of our securities may be subject to wide changes in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of new products by us or our competitors, reports by securities analysts, volume trading, or other events or factors. In addition, the financial markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for a number of reasons, including the failure of certain companies to meet market expectations. These broad market price swings, or any industry-specific market fluctuations, may adversely affect the market price of our securities.

Speculative traders may anticipate a decline in the market price of our securities and engage in short sales of our securities. Such short sales could further negatively affect the market price of our securities.

Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were to become the subject of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a significant diversion of our management's attention and resources.

An active trading market for our securities may not be developed or sustained which could limit the liquidity of an investment in our securities.

There is a limited trading market for our common stock and no trading market for our units, Class A public warrants or Class B public warrants. Since December 26, 2001, our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities. We have submitted an application to list the units, common stock, Class A public warrants and Class B public warrants offered by this prospectus, together with the common stock currently trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, on the American Stock Exchange as of the effective date of this offering. However, there can be no assurance that our securities will be accepted for listing on the American Stock Exchange. There is no assurance that, in the event the securities offered by this prospectus are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange, we will be able to continue to meet the listing requirements or that our securities will remain listed on the American Stock Exchange. If we are delisted from the American Stock Exchange, an investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotation as to the market value of, our securities and it may be difficult for us to qualify the Class A and Class B public warrants, as well as the common stock underlying those warrants, for sale in various states, impairing you ability to sell your securities. Additionally, regardless of which exchange our securities may trade on, an active and liquid trading market may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained, which could limit security holders' ability to sell our securities at a desired price.

The representative has limited experience as a managing underwriter, which may adversely affect the size of any trading market for our securities and adversely affect their price.

Although certain officers of the representative of the underwriters have experience working on public offerings and other corporate finance matters, the representative has limited experience serving as a managing underwriter. Since the representative's experience in underwriting a firm commitment public offering is limited, there can be no assurance that the lack of experience will not adversely affect the trading market for our securities.

Certain events could result in a dilution of your ownership of our common stock.

We currently have 2,074,074 common stock equivalents outstanding, including warrants and options. The exercise price of all common stock equivalents is an average of $3.44 per share. We may issue additional shares of common stock in private or public transactions to raise funds for working capital, research and development, acquisitions, or other purposes. If we issue additional common stock or if outstanding warrants or options are exercised, the number of outstanding shares of our common stock would increase and dilute your percentage ownership of our common stock. Exercise of the Class A and B public warrants, including 250,000 Class A and 250,000 Class B public warrants to be issued to certain of our stockholders in connection with this offering, will also dilute your percentage ownership of common stock.

If we do not maintain an effective registration statement or comply with applicable state securities laws, you may not be able to exercise your Class A and Class B public warrants.

For you to be able to exercise our Class A and Class B public warrants, the shares of our common stock underlying these warrants must be covered by an effective and current registration statement and qualify or be exempt under the securities laws of the state or other jurisdiction in which you live. We cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain a current registration statement relating to the shares of our common stock underlying the Class A and Class B public warrants or that an exemption from registration or qualification will be available throughout their term. This may have an adverse effect on demand for the Class A and Class B public warrants and the prices that can be obtained from reselling them.

The Class A and Class B public warrants may be redeemed on short notice. This may have an adverse impact on their price.

We may redeem the Class A public warrants upon 30 days' notice so long as the last reported sales price of the common stock as reported by the principal exchange or trading market on which our common stock trades equals or exceeds $ (subject to certain adjustments) for 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the day on which notice is given. We may redeem the Class B public warrants upon 30 days' notice so long as the last reported sales price of the common stock as reported by the principal exchange or trading market on which our common stock trades equals or exceeds $ (subject to certain adjustments) for 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the day on which notice is given. The redemption price is $0.01 per public warrant, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, dividend or the like. If we give notice of redemption, holders of our public warrants will be forced to sell or exercise the public warrants they hold or accept the redemption price. The notice of redemption could come at a time when it is not advisable or possible to sell or exercise the public warrants.

The Class A and Class B public warrants may negatively affect our ability to raise additional capital.

During the terms of the Class A and Class B public warrants, their holders are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market of our common stock. So long as the public warrants

are outstanding, the terms on which we could obtain additional capital may be adversely affected. The holders of the public warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when we might be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the public warrants.

A large number of our shares of common stock may be sold in the market following this offering which could cause the prices of our securities to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or other securities in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock or other securities to decline. After this offering, we will have shares of our common stock outstanding (including shares of our common stock comprising a part of the units that are the subject of this offering but excluding shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of any of the Class A and Class B public warrants), or shares if the underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full. We anticipate of the shares will be eligible for public trading. The units sold in this offering, or units if the underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full, will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the federal securities laws unless purchased by our affiliates.

Assuming no exercise of options or warrants outstanding as of the effective date of this offering, shares are subject to contractual lockup agreements with the representative of the underwriters pursuant to which the holders of the shares have agreed not to sell their shares for one year after the completion of this offering. Of these shares, unless held by "affiliates," will be freely tradable after and will be freely tradable after .

In addition, the holders of common shares and warrants to purchase shares have agreed with the representative not to sell their common shares, the warrants or the shares of common stock underlying the warrants for the earlier of one year after completion of this offering or when the average of the last reported sales price for our common stock exceeds $ for 20 consecutive trading days. These shares and warrants are otherwise freely tradeable pursuant to an effective registration statement with the SEC.

We may issue preferred stock with rights senior to the common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval and on terms established by our directors. We have no existing plans to issue shares of preferred stock. However, the rights and preferences of any such class or series of preferred stock would be established by our board of directors in its sole discretion and may have dividend, voting, liquidation and other rights and preferences that are senior to the rights of the common stock.

We do not pay cash dividends.

Because of our significant operating losses and because we intend to retain future profits, if any, to expand our business, we have never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our officers, directors and their affiliates control us and can take actions that conflict with your interests.

Our executive officers, directors and holders of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock own a total of approximately 72.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of this ownership, these persons have the power to control our Company in many instances without a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and other matters pertaining to

corporate governance. For example, our two largest stockholders recently approved the request of our board to effect a reverse stock split. This concentration of ownership also may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company. Thus, you will have no ability to exert control over our operations or significant corporate decisions.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the units that we are selling in this offering will be approximately $8,052,000 based on a public offering price of $ per unit and after deducting $1,248,000, reflecting the estimated underwriting discount, non-accountable expense allowance, financial advisory agreement with the representative of the underwriters, and $300,000, reflecting the estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $9,276,000. We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows.

Intended Use	Approximate Amount		Approximate Percentage of Net Proceeds
For marketing and promotions of our products as well as allocations for sales leader acquisitions, celebrity endorsements, promotional and independent distributor lead generation events and public relations.	$	3,400,000	42.3	%
For product development and inventory build up in anticipation of sales growth, including expenditures for the formulation, marketing and introduction of two to four new products.		1,200,000	14.9	%
Capital expenditures for warehouse relocation, improvements and expansion of our customer service center currently located at our Denver, Colorado office, upgrading and expansion of our website and other information systems.		1,000,000	12.4	%
General and administrative expenditures, including increasing staffing and consulting and other operating costs as we seek to expand our operations.		800,000	9.9	%
For general working capital needs, including repayment of any short term loans for working capital needs we may obtain prior to the completion of this offering. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."		1,652,000	20.5	%

	$	8,052,000	100.0	%

In the event the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised, then the amount of net proceeds available for working capital will be more than is indicated in the above table.

The above amounts are our current estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds. Because the future of our business is difficult to predict, it is likely that the actual amounts used for these purposes may vary significantly from our current estimates. Also, we may use offering proceeds for purposes not listed above in response to cash requirements or business opportunities that we do not now anticipate. Any such use could reduce proceeds available for the uses described above.

We anticipate that our existing cash and the net proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least 12 to 18 months following this offering, depending primarily on our sales levels. We cannot assure you, however, that such funds will not be expended earlier due to unanticipated changes in economic conditions or other circumstances that we cannot foresee. In the event our plans change or our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, we could be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated.

Until we use the net proceeds of this offering in our business, we intend to invest the funds in short-term, government or investment grade, interest-bearing securities. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of December 31, 2003, derived from our audited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this prospectus. The table also sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2004, derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this prospectus on an actual basis and on an as adjusted basis.

DILUTION

Purchasers of units in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock from the public offering price, without ascribing any value to the Class A and Class B public warrants included in a unit. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding.

As of September 30, 2004, our net tangible book value (unaudited) was $ or approximately $ per share of common stock then outstanding. As of , 2004, our pro forma net tangible book value (unaudited), as adjusted for the sale of the units offered in this offering and application of the net proceeds of $8,052,000 (at the public offering price of $ per unit and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), would have been approximately $ per share, without ascribing any value to the Class A and Class B public warrants included in a unit.

This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution of $ per share or approximately % to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on December 26, 2001. Our trading symbol is "VCUB.OB." Since there is only a limited trading market for our stock, stockholders, may find it difficult to sell their shares. Until June 20, 2003, the common stock trades reflected the business of Instanet prior to the share exchange with V3S. There is presently no market for the units or Class A or Class B public warrants offered by this prospectus.

The following table sets forth high and low bid prices for our common stock for the calendar quarters indicated as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board for the fiscal quarters indicated. These prices have been stated after giving retroactive effect to a 1-for-5 reverse split of our common stock we expect to consummate on December 8, 2004, and represent quotations between dealers without adjustment for retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

	High		Low
Fourth Quarter 2004 (through December 2, 2004)	$	3.50	$	2.00
Third Quarter 2004	$	4.25	$	1.55
Second Quarter 2004	$	7.55	$	3.50
First Quarter 2004	$	7.55	$	4.00
Fourth Quarter 2003	$	15.00	$	7.00

Second Quarter 2003	$	14.00	$	0.75
First Quarter 2003	$	6.25	$	0.75

As of December 1, 2004, we had approximately 170 holders of record of our common stock. A significant number of our shares were held in street name and, as such, we believe that the actual number of beneficial owners is significantly higher.

Equity compensation plans

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are in the business of developing, selling, marketing and distributing nutritional supplement products. We market our products primarily through direct selling or network marketing, in which independent distributors sell our products. In addition, we sell our products directly to professional and Olympic athletes and professional sports teams.

During the third quarter of 2003, we initiated a transition of our sales and marketing efforts from sales to retail outlets and in-house telemarketing to direct selling through independent distributors and we launched our direct sales program in the second quarter of 2004. As of December 1, 2004, we had 918 independent distributors and 942 customers (excluding professional athletes and sports teams) who had purchased our products within the prior seven months.

Our network marketing program is designed to provide incentive for independent distributors to build, maintain and motivate a sales organization of customers and other independent distributors to enhance earning potential. Our independent distributors are compensated with commissions and bonuses on sales generated through their downline organization. Independent distributors advance in distributor levels as they develop their sales organization and increase their sales volume, which increases their compensation.

We recognize revenue when products are shipped to our customers. Revenue is reduced by product returns at the time we take the product either back into inventory or dispose of it. In addition, we estimate a reserve total for future returns. Cost of our sales consists of expenses directly related to the production and distribution of the products and certain sales materials. Included in the sales and marketing expenses are independent distributor commissions, bonus and incentives along with other general selling expenses. We expect our independent distributor expenses, as a percentage of net revenues, to increase as independent distributors reach the higher levels of incentives in our direct sales program. General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, rent and building expenses, legal, accounting, telephone, professional fees, depreciation and amortization.

Our revenue will depend on the number and productivity of our independent distributors, who purchase products and sales materials from us for resale to their customers or for personal use. Because we will distribute substantially all of our products through our independent distributors, our failure to retain our existing distributors and recruit additional distributors could have an adverse effect on our revenue.

Due to the recent start-up of our direct sales program we believe we need to gain more operating experience in order to discern and discuss key indicators of our performance. To date, however, we believe that the number of our distributors is an important indicator to monitor. In addition, we will monitor the sales generated per independent distributor as well as the success of our independent distributors in recruiting new independent distributors. At this time it is too early to determine what indicators will be necessary for us to be profitable.

With respect to industry and market factors that may affect us directly, we believe that industry credibility in both direct selling and nutritional supplements will be critical elements in whether we can increase revenues and become profitable. Any adverse developments in either of these two areas, to us or in our industry, could lead to a lower number of our independent distributors and reduced sales and recruiting efforts by existing distributors, as well as a loss or no increase in the number of sports celebrity endorsers of our products. We do not know what industry growth will be for 2004 nor do we have enough experience in the direct sales channel to determine whether a slower industry growth rate, which occurred for several years leading up to 2003, will adversely affect us.

Our operating plan for 2005 is focused on increasing the number of independent distributors, growing revenues, increasing gross profits, and conserving cash. Due to the recent commencement of our direct selling program through independent distributors, we cannot predict our revenue, gross profit, net income or loss or use of cash and cash equivalents.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates

Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, sales returns and customer warranties. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", revenue is recognized at the point of shipment, at which time title is passed. Net sales include sales of products, sales of marketing tools to independent distributors and freight and handling charges. With the exception of approved professional sports teams, we receive the net sales price from all of our orders in the form of cash or credit card payment prior to shipment. Professional sports teams with approved credit have been extended payment terms of net 30 days.

Inventory Valuation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first in first out basis. A reserve for inventory obsolescence is maintained and is based upon assumptions about current and future product demand, inventory whose shelf life has expired and market conditions. A change in any of these variables may require additional reserves to be taken.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of the ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would increase our expenses during the periods in which any such allowances were made. The amount recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts in each period is based upon an assessment of the likelihood that we will be paid on our outstanding receivables, based on customer-specific as well as general considerations. To the extent that our estimates prove to be too high, and we ultimately collect a receivable previously determined to be impaired, we may record a reversal of the provision in the period of such determination.

Results of Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (unaudited).

The discussion below first presents the results of the 2004 nine-month period followed by the 2003 nine-month period.

Net sales. Net sales were $561,454 compared to $1,018,329, a decrease of 45%. The decrease in sales was the result of refocusing of our sales and marketing efforts from in-house sales to direct selling through independent distributors. Independent distributors purchase our products for resale to customers and for their own personal consumption.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased to $383,790 from $655,638, a decrease of 41%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) increased to 68% compared to 64%, a result of obtaining higher profit margin sales through independent distributors and the elimination of sales to low margin retail outlets. The overall decrease in gross profit reflected the decrease in net revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $823,923 from $987,200, a decrease of 17%. Sales and marketing activities decreased due to our transition to sales through our independent distributors. Costs previously incurred with maintaining an in-house sales staff have been eliminated. The independent distributors now incur most of the costs of print and radio advertising. Therefore, we expect that the primary expense items will be the direct compensation to our independent distributors in the form of commissions, promotions and sales events and the continued commitments to our sports celebrity endorsers.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $920,372 compared to $1,027,588 or a decrease of 10%. In 2003 we incurred higher legal, accounting and other associated expenses due to our financing activities. Executive compensation increased as a result of an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2004. Prior to that time our Chief Executive Officer drew a nominal salary.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were relatively minor, increasing to $5,511 from $0. We completed the introduction of our reformulated eForce® sports energy drink during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. We plan to develop and introduce two to four new products in 2005 and expect these expenses will show a modest increase.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the year ended December 31, 2002.

The discussion below first presents the results of the 2003 year followed by the results of the 2002 year.

Net sales. Net sales were $1,213,062 compared to $983,557, an increase of 23%. The increase was the result of our continuing to mature and create a brand awareness and demand for our products.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased to $798,832 from $692,425 or an increase of 15%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) decreased to 66% from 71%. The increase in gross profits was the result of the increase in net revenue and reflected the mix of products sold. During the first half of 2003, VitaPro®, our protein shake, which carries a lower profit margin, was heavily marketed to retail outlets, negatively impacting our gross margins. The additional decrease in gross margin was a result of our selling products below cost for products that we determined would not be sold through the independent distributor marketing plan.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $1,273,361 from $1,353,335, or 6%, as a result of transitioning into our direct selling through independent distributors, the conversion of our inside sales force into independent distributors and the termination of all print and radio advertising.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,303,025 from $617,457 or an increase of 111%. The increase was a result of legal, accounting and other associated expenses in 2003 due to an abandoned public offering, the reverse acquisition of Instanet and requirements of becoming a public entity that were non-recurring. We also incurred a charge in 2003 against inventory for discontinued items of $177,896 and established a provision for future obsolete inventory of $31,782.

Research and development expenses. We incurred no research and development expenses in 2003 compared to $88,456 for 2002. Our initial product line was completed in 2002.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

The discussion below first presents the 2002 year followed by the 2001 year.

Net sales. Net sales were $983,557 compared to $203,448 or an increase of 383%. The increase was due primarily to our initiating sales to the general public on January 1, 2002, where prior to that we were still in the development stage and sales were only to professional and Olympic athletes.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased to $692,425 from $79,581, an increase of 770%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) increased to 71% from 39% due to sales to the general public at non-discounted prices compared to special discount pricing given to professional and Olympic athletes. Our gross margin fluctuates depending upon the mix of products sold.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $1,178,619 from $405,503, a 190% increase. The increase was due primarily to the introduction of our products to the general public in the form of print and radio advertising, educational literature and assembling an in-house sales and customer service force to support sales, all of which was discontinued in 2003.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $792,168 from $531,261 or an increase of 49%. The increase was a result of establishing the operational components necessary to support the launch of products to the general public.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by 6%, to $88,456 from $94,421. Development of our product line was completed during the first half of 2002 attributing to the decrease.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, our operating funds have been provided primarily by loans from our Chief Executive Officer, one of our directors and by various stockholders ($3,624,209), and from sales of our common stock ($3,537,905), through September 30, 2004, and to a lesser degree, cash flow provided by sales of our products.

On January 31, 2004, we closed a private offering of our common stock issuing, 207,999 shares for gross proceeds of $1,039,980. On April 15, 2004, we closed a second offering of our common stock issuing 1,665,290 shares for gross proceeds of $2,497,925. In conjunction with the second offering, both our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors converted outstanding loans plus accrued interest into 1,391,087 shares of our common stock at March 31, 2004, further reducing our debt. In April 2004, we repaid all of our then existing debt of $220,000. As of September 30, 2004, we had no outstanding short-term or long-term debt.

We used $1,855,110 of cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and we used $610,666 of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The use of cash in our operations results from incurring and accruing expenses to suppliers necessary to generate business and service our customers at a time when revenues did not keep pace with expenses. As of September 30, 2004, we had

$602,714 in cash and cash equivalents available to fund future operations. Working capital increased from a deficit of $1,056,203 at December 31, 2003, to positive working capital of $830,696 at September 30, 2004. This increase in working capital was the result of the completion of a private placement of our common stock and debt conversion described in "Notes to Financial Statements—Note 2 Stockholders' Equity."

We are not certain of our near term revenue and cash needs. We do, however, expect that we may acquire additional short term debt pending the completion of this offering, depending on the timing of this offering. We have engaged in preliminary discussions with possible short term lenders, but cannot provide any assurances that such funding would be available on acceptable terms to us, if at all. We would expect that any such short term debt, if obtained, would be paid with proceeds from this offering.

Beyond our short term needs, we believe that our cash resources, including the net proceeds of this offering, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 to 18 months, depending primarily on our sales levels. If our business operations do not result in increased product sales, our business viability, financial position, results of operations and cash flows would likely be adversely affected. Further, if we are not successful in achieving profitability, additional capital will be required to conduct ongoing operations. We cannot predict the terms upon which we could raise such capital or if any capital would be available at all.

Contractual Obligations. We lease office space from the father of our Chief Executive Officer with the lease expiring at December 31, 2004. We also have various operating leases for automobiles, computer and telephone equipment. At September 30, 2003, our commitments under these obligations were as follows:

Contractual Obligations	Less than 1 year		2 - 3 years		4 - 5 years
Office lease	$	18,000	$	—	$	—
Operating leases		45,194		66,774		9,581

Total	$	63,194	$	66,774	$	9,581

Customer Concentrations. We had no single customer that accounted for any substantial portion of our revenues.

Off-Balance Sheet Items. We had no off-balance sheet items as of September 30, 2004.

OUR COMPANY

Overview

We develop, sell, market and distribute nutritional supplement products primarily through a direct sales or network marketing system in which independent distributors sell our products, as well as purchase them for their own personal use. We also sell our products directly to professional and Olympic athletes and to professional sports teams.

We formulated our products in 2000 and 2001 for sale to professional and Olympic athletes. We launched our sales and marketing programs to the general public in early 2002 through our internal sales force targeting specialty retail stores, health clubs and personal trainers. During 2003, we refocused our marketing and sales strategy on direct selling through independent distributors. We believe, based upon our sales experience in 2001 and 2002, our products can be more effectively sold through the face-to-face sales method afforded by direct selling.

A key part of our marketing strategy, in conjunction with our direct sales program, is the endorsement of our products by sports celebrities. Some of our celebrity endorsers include:

•: Mike Shanahan (football): Head Coach, Denver Broncos—five Super Bowl teams;
•: Curt Schilling (baseball): Pitcher, Boston Red Sox—World Series Co-MVP;

We were formed in 2001, under the name "Instanet, Inc." to provide Internet fund transfers. Instanet, which had no operating revenues, was a development stage company. In a stock-for-stock exchange completed on June 20, 2003, Instanet acquired V3S, a Colorado corporation formed in October 2000. In the exchange, the then existing stockholders of V3S exchanged their stock in V3S for 2,714,403 shares of common stock of Instanet, then representing a 90% ownership interest in Instanet. V3S then became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Instanet and V3S's management became management

of Instanet. Instanet changed its name to VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. The description of our business describes the business conducted by V3S. Instanet discontinued its business prior to the stock-for-stock exchange.

Industry Overview

The Nutrition Industry

According to the latest industry overview, Nutrition Business Journal (May/June 2004), despite the changing regulatory atmosphere surrounding supplements, the fundamentals of growth for the nutrition industry—aging baby boomers' health concerns, the obesity epidemic and rising health care costs—were strong enough to propel nutritional industry growth overall to 8.2% and total U.S. consumer sales to $62.9 billion in 2003, the first increase in sales growth in several years. The supplements segment contributed $19.8 billion to nutrition industry sales and increased 5.7% in 2003 over the prior year, the highest annual growth rate since 1999. Vitamin sales grew 7.6% over 2002 or the highest growth rate since 1997. Topping the growth list were minerals and specialty supplements, both of which advanced sales by 15% in 2003. Rounding out the supplement categories is sports nutrition that gained 8% in sales in 2003 over 2002.

We believe that the size of the supplement market is due to public awareness of the positive effects of nutritional dietary supplements. Helping to increase awareness are reports and industry marketing that provides a correlation between the consumption of nutritional dietary supplements and better health. Both the United States government and universities have increased sponsorship of research relating to nutritional dietary supplements. For example, in fiscal year 2002, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) continued to lead all Federal agencies with a total of $917 million spent on research and training. This total represents the combined individual contributions of the 18 NIH institutes and three centers that supported biomedical nutrition research and training. In addition, as part of the NIH, Congress has established the Office of Alternative Medicine, which focuses on alternative medical treatments, and the Office of Dietary Supplements, which conducts and coordinates research regarding the role of dietary supplements in maintaining health and preventing disease. New developments in 2004 have been the FDA's ban on ephedra and the steroid scandals in Major League Baseball and Track and Field. While these scandals may be perceived as having a negative effect on the nutritional supplement business, we have never produced or sold any products with the ingredients under public scrutiny.

The Direct Selling Industry

Firms that use direct sales as their distribution method have grown in numbers, sales and profits, both domestically and abroad. Results of the 2003 Direct Selling Association's Annual Growth and Outlook Survey indicate a 7.5% increase in direct sales over the previous year to a record high of $28.7 billion. This represents the 18^th consecutive year of growth for the industry. The survey, which measures the size and activity of the U.S. direct selling industry, is conducted annually and includes responses from a cross-section of direct selling companies. Other major results of the survey indicate wellness products, such as weight loss products and nutritional supplements, account for approximately 15.4% of direct sales. The Direct Selling Association's published figures for 1999-2003 indicate that annual U.S. retail sales for the five years ended December 31, 2003, have grown from $24.5 billion to nearly $30 billion along with the independent distributor base growing from 10.3 million to nearly 13.3 million during the same time period.

We believe the prospects for continued growth in direct sales are good and should benefit us, and we perceive several reasons as to why such growth has occurred:

•: The growth of direct sales has given it public visibility. We believe that governmental regulation of the direct selling industry has facilitated the public's market acceptance of legitimate direct selling companies.
•: The current economic climate of business closures, lay-offs, downsizing, outsourcing, and merging has resulted in motivated, educated workers seeking direct sales. These workers generally have professional and social networks, which offer personalized credibility to the direct selling industry.
•: With improved technology and the expanding use of the Internet, direct selling firms can become more efficient. For example, none of our independent distributors are required to carry inventory or personally conduct public presentations, and our computer systems keep track of and communicate with independent distributors and their organizations. We believe these efficiencies make direct selling easier to administer than in the past.

Our Products

Currently we offer 18 different nutritional products. None of our products contain substances that have been the subject of publicized health concerns by the medical community such as ephedra, creatine, androstene, androstenedione, aspartame, steroids or human growth hormones. Our products include:

eForce® Sports Drink

eForce® is a sports drink that has been reformulated to support sustained energy without the levels of sugar and caffeine of most colas, and with one-tenth the amount of carbohydrates and two additional hydrating electrolytes not found in Gatorade®, a competing sports drink. eForce® has been reformulated to provide support for sustained energy before activity by incorporating the ingredients D-Ribose, 5 ginsengs and a complete B-Vitamin Complex (B1, B2, B6 and B12). eForce® also contains antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C and E and pomegranate extract in its formulation designed to benefit the body after activity.

VitaPro® Nutrition Shake

VitaPro® is a balanced shake that has a blend of proteins, carbohydrates and sugars and is available in chocolate or vanilla flavors. Its blend of proteins is designed to support metabolism and provide energy.

VitaPro® is formulated with 27 vitamins, minerals and antioxidants delivered in a shake form to help provide nourishment. VitaPro® combines various protein sources, vitamins, and minerals with ingredients such as Aminogen®—an ingredient that contributes amino acids to the body and Fibersol-2®, a fiber that aids in digestion.

Vitamins and Minerals

Our vitamins, minerals, and specialty formulations are sold in various VitaCubes®, and consist of tablets, capsules and soft gel formulations. The VitaCube® is a compartmentalized container in which each supplement is separated into its own compartment, with a label above to designate the location of supplement. This label also provides the supplement name, a photograph, its benefits, the main

ingredients and dosages, and the time to take it. VitaCubes® are divided into three primary and gender-specific packages:

Quality in Our Products

In seeking quality in our products, we require that before a product is brought to market, all:

•: supplements are supported with publicly available scientific research and references;
•: our manufacturers carry applicable manufacturing licenses;
•: ingredients are combined so that their effectiveness is not impaired;
•: ingredients are in dosage levels that fall within tolerable upper intake levels established for healthy people by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies;
•: products do not contain adulterated ingredients such as ephedra, creatine, androstenedione, aspartame, steroids or human growth hormones;
•: formulations have a two year shelf life;
•: products are 100% free of lead and the typical allergens of wheat, corn and yeast; and
•: tablets, capsules and soft gels are designed to readily dissolve in the body to facilitate absorption.

Product Development and Advisory Boards

In February of 2001, we retained the services of William E. Wheeler, PhD., ACSM, to act as our Director of Science and Technology. Dr. Wheeler has over 25 years of experience in the nutritional industry with over 260 senior author scientific publications as well as three Presidential Awards for Excellence in Research. Dr. Wheeler also served as staff nutritionist to the President of the United States (1976-1981) and served as staff nutritionist to the 1996 U.S. Olympic Decathlon Team. We employed Dr. Wheeler from February 2001 until April 2002. During this time, Dr. Wheeler headed a team of manufacturers and third party experts to research, formulate and test our products, the proprietary rights to which are solely ours. Dr. Wheeler currently consults with us as an independent consultant, where he advises on product formulations and updates on nutritional science.

Over the past two years, we have assembled a Scientific Review and Medical Advisory Board and a Professional Athletic Advisory Board. Our Scientific Review and Medical Advisory Board is composed of Dr. Wheeler (chairman), Herbert Jacobs, M.D., FACS, FACOG, and Paul Dragul, M.D. These health and medical professionals emphasize nutrition and nutritional supplement in their practices. They advise us on potential products, ingredients and formulations, and they review our existing products for potential enhancements to improve effectiveness and marketability.

Due to the number of professional athletes using our products, we created a Professional Athletic Advisory Board made up of strength coaches and trainers from various professional sports. Members of our Professional Athletic Advisory Board are Steve Hess, Professional Strength and Conditional Coach for the Denver Nuggets, National Basketball Association, Dave Page, Strength and Conditioning Coach

for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Major League Baseball, and Mark Casterline, Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Columbus Blue Jackets, National Hockey League. This board provides feedback on the use and perceived benefits of our products.

New Product Identification. From time to time we expand our product line through the development of new products. New product ideas are derived from a number of sources, including trade publications, scientific and health journals, consultants, distributors, and other third parties. Prior to introducing new products, we investigate product formulations as they relate to regulatory compliance and other issues. We expect to formulate from two to four new products within the next 12 to 18 months after this offering.

Celebrity Endorsements

As part of our marketing efforts, we compensate several sports celebrities for endorsing our products. We believe these endorsements lead health and fitness conscious consumers to use our products.

Our endorsers have agreed to provide written testimonials to advertise our products including the use of their name, likeness, and pictures for print, radio, electronic media, and video announcements. Additionally some endorsers have agreed to make personal appearances, participate in website chats, and wear apparel containing our logo.

The terms of our endorsement contracts vary. These contracts are generally for a period of one to three years and the endorsers are provided with our products for personal use on a reduced or no cost basis. In addition to receiving our products, these endorsers may receive cash compensation, stock options, stock grants, a percentage of net revenues, or other consideration. Some of our endorsement contracts also provide that the endorser will not endorse any competing products.

Our Independent Distributors and Customers

Overview. We distribute products through a direct selling program with independent distributors. Our distributors purchase products for their own consumption and for sale to their customers. Generally distributors do not maintain an inventory of products, but rather introduce new customers who purchase directly from us.

Independent distributors are encouraged to recruit and sign up new independent distributors and customers for us, the result of which is the creation of new "levels" within their sales organizations. These new enrollees are referred to as the "downline" of their enrolling distributor. Downline independent distributors are also encouraged to recruit new independent distributors, thereby creating additional levels in their organizations, but still connected to the original enrolling distributor. Enrollments occur based on personal introduction regardless of geographic location. We have no sales territories. Our independent distributors are compensated with commissions and bonuses on sales generated through their downline.

We believe direct selling is an effective way to distribute our products because:

•: distributors can educate consumers about our products in person;
•: direct sales allows for actual product sampling by potential consumers;
•: compared to other distribution methods our distributors can provide customers high levels of service and attention;
•: direct selling has benefited from advancements in technology, including low-cost telephone services and the Internet; and

•: products can be introduced to the market through person-to-person selling, resulting in lower up front capital outlays for us than conventional methods.

Our marketing team utilizes multimedia CDs and video e-mail to enhance the selling and recruiting capabilities of our independent distributors. These materials are sold to the independent distributors so that the ongoing advertising costs borne by us are not substantial. In addition, we utilize print, telecommunications and the Internet to recruit and train independent distributors. We have created a compensation plan that we believe motivates independent distributors to sell our products, build their sales organizations, and participate in Company-sponsored contests.

Structure of our Direct Selling Program. To become one of our independent distributors, a person must be enrolled through an existing independent distributor and must purchase a starter kit or business builder pack, except in states where a purchase of a starter kit is optional due to state regulations, in which case the distributor is given a starter kit at no charge. The starter kit consists of forms, policy and procedures and selling aids, and costs $40. The business builder packs contain the starter kit, a selection of our products, and other materials, and range in price from $199 to $399.

Compensation Plan. Independent distributors can earn compensation in four different ways:

•: selling products directly to customers (earning a "retail rebate" for the spread between their price and their customer's price as established by us);
•: generating commissions based on their personal sales volume and the sales volume of their downline organization. We do not pay compensation for an existing distributor enrolling a new distributor;
•: qualifying for bonuses based on sales performance by distributors and their downline organization; and
•: participating in Company contests and promotions.

Independent Distributor Training, Support and Motivation. We believe that training, support and motivation are key elements in our independent distributors achieving success. Training from our corporate management includes live training events, conference calls and video e-mail. We have conference call capabilities which are available any time and can be accessed from any U.S. location for use by our independent distributors. In addition, every independent distributor is provided with an online "back office" or website. This provides the distributors the ability to send e-mails directly to his or her downline database along with tools for placing and reviewing orders and managing his or her downline.

For motivation, we recognize our independent distributors with pins and awards based upon sales achievements. In addition, from time to time, we use memorabilia signed by our celebrity endorsers as a further incentive. In August 2004, we had our first leadership retreat at a resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and we plan on utilizing trips and vacations as a primary component of our motivation strategy.

Additional Methods of Distribution. We also sell directly to professional and Olympic athletes using our in-house staff. Many of these athletes purchase our products at a discounted price, although some endorse our products in return for receiving them at no charge. We believe the endorsements of these high-profile athletes provides credibility to our products.

We are not dependent on one customer or a group of customers.

Management Information, Internet and Telecommunication Systems

The ability to efficiently manage distribution, compensation, inventory control, and communication functions through the use of sophisticated and dependable information processing systems is critical to our success.

We continue to upgrade systems and introduce new technologies to facilitate our continued growth and support independent distributor activities. These systems include: (1) an internal network server that manages user accounts, print and file sharing, firewall management, and wide area network connectivity; (2) a Microsoft SQL database server to manage sensitive transactional data, and corporate accounting and sales information; (3) a centralized host computer located in Utah supporting our customized order processing, fulfillment and independent distributor management software; (4) a standardized Nortel Meridian telecommunication switch and system; (5) a hosted independent distributor website system designed specifically for network marketing and direct sales companies; and (6) procedures to perform daily and weekly backups with both onsite and offsite storage of backups.

Importantly, our technology systems provide key financial and operating data for management, timely and accurate product ordering, commission payment processing, inventory management and detailed independent distributor records. Additionally, these systems deliver real-time business management, reporting and communications tools to assist in retaining and developing our sales leaders and independent distributors. We intend to continue to invest in our technology systems in order to strengthen our operating platform.

Product Returns

We offer an initial purchase guarantee to all new customers and independent distributors who are not satisfied with our products for any reason. Customers and distributors may return to us the unused portion of the product within 60 days for a full refund. All other returned product that is unopened and undamaged is refunded at 100% of the sales price less a 10% restocking fee. Returned product damaged during shipment is replaced. Historically, product returns as a percentage of our net sales have been less than 3%.

Our Competition

We compete with many companies engaged in selling nutritional supplements. We also compete with direct selling companies who sell products similar to ours. Most of our competitors have significantly more financial and human resources than we do, and have operating histories longer than ours. We seek to differentiate our products and marketing from our competitors based on our product quality, the use of sports celebrity endorsers, our attractive compensation plan for our independent distributors and through our simple selling program.

The retail market for nutritional supplements is characterized by a few dominant national companies, including General Nutrition Centers, Vitamin World, Vitamin Shoppe, and Great Earth Vitamin Stores. Others have a presence within local markets, such as Vitamin Cottage in Denver, Colorado. Three companies dominate the Internet—Vitamins.com (owned by Puritan's Pride), GNC.com and VitaminShoppe.com, the latter two having retail sales locations as well.

Major competitors in the sports nutrition and weight-loss markets consist of companies such as EAS, Inc., Weider Nutrition International, Inc. and Twinlab Corporation, which dominate the market with such products as Myoplex (EAS), Body Shaper (Weider) and Ripped Fuel (Twinlab).

Competitors for our sports energy drink include Gatorade, Powerade, Accelerade and All Sport. Indirect competition includes soft drinks and orange juice and related products such as Sunny Delight, CapriSun and other fruit drinks.

We compete with a number of large direct selling firms selling nutritional, diet, health, personal care and environmental products, and numerous small competitors. The principal direct selling competitors are Amway Corporation, Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc., Sunrider Corporation, New Vision USA, Inc., Herbalife International of America, Inc., USANA, Inc., and Melalecua, Inc.

Our Manufacturers

We use four principal manufacturers for the components of our products, and multiple vendors for packaging and labeling. We have contracts with our two main manufacturers. Our relationship with any of our manufacturers may be terminated at will or upon short notice. We have established relationships with other manufacturers that we believe can satisfy our needs if our relationship with any principal manufacturer terminates.

Product Delivery

All of our products are shipped by our manufacturers directly to us for storage at our facilities in Denver, Colorado. Products sold to our independent distributors and their customers are shipped directly by us to the distributors or customers. We collect sales tax on products based upon the address of the consumer to whom products are sent regardless of how the order is placed. Sales to our professional and Olympic athletes, our sports teams and from our non-distributor customers are shipped directly to them from our facilities.

Regulatory Matters

General. Our operations are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and enforcement policies. These requirements exist at the federal, state and local levels in the United States, including laws and regulations pertaining to:

•: the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, holding, storage, distribution, advertising, and sale of our products;
•: product claims and advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, as well as claims and advertising by independent distributors, for which we may be held responsible;
•: our direct selling program; and
•: taxation of independent distributors (which in some instances could impose an obligation on us to collect the taxes and maintain appropriate records).

The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, holding, storage, distribution, advertising, and sale of our products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC"), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"), the Department of Agriculture ("USDA") and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). These activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold. Pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"), the FDA regulates the processing, formulation, safety, manufacture, packaging, labeling, holding, sale, and distribution of foods and nutritional supplements (including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and botanicals). The FTC has jurisdiction to regulate the advertising of these products. The CPSC is charged with protecting the public from risks of serious injury or death associated with the use of consumer products. Nutritional supplements are among the over 15,000 types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction. When consumers complain to the CPSC about alleged harm stemming from ingestion of a nutritional supplement, CPSC may contact the entity concerned, inform it of the nature of the complaint, and invite a response. CPSC has conducted several recalls of iron-containing dietary supplements that do not comply with the child-resistant packaging requirement. The OSHA is charged with protecting workplace safety. Nutritional supplement companies must maintain a safe workplace

and may from time to time be subject to queries from OSHA if manufacturing methods or procedures raise a question of worker safety. The USDA has jurisdiction over animal food and animal feed, including regulatory control over the harvesting of animal-based source materials, including animal-derived proteins, and animal-derived gelatin capsules, used in the making of dietary supplements. The EPA regulates dietary supplement compliance with standards established under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Pollution Prevention Act as they affect the use, maintenance, and disposal of substances used in and facilities used for the manufacture of nutritional supplements.

The FDCA has been amended several times with respect to nutritional supplements, in particular by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA"), which established a new framework governing the composition, safety, labeling and marketing of nutritional supplements. Nutritional supplements are defined as vitamins, minerals, herbs, other botanicals, amino acids and other dietary substances for human use to supplement the diet, as well as concentrates, metabolites, constituents, extracts or combinations of such dietary ingredients. Generally, under DSHEA, dietary ingredients that were on the market prior to October 15, 1994, may be used in nutritional supplements without notifying the FDA. New dietary ingredients, consisting of dietary ingredients that were not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994, are subject to a FDA premarket new dietary ingredient notification requirement unless the ingredient has been present in the food supply as an article used for food without being chemically altered. A new dietary ingredient notification must provide the FDA with evidence of a history of use or other evidence of safety establishing that use of the dietary ingredient will reasonably be expected to be safe. A new dietary ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing of the new dietary ingredient. There is no certainty that the FDA will accept any particular evidence of safety for any new dietary ingredient. The FDA's refusal to accept such evidence could prevent the marketing of such dietary ingredients.

The FDA issued a consumer warning in 1996, followed by proposed regulations in 1997, covering nutritional supplements that contain ephedra or its active substance, ephedrine alkaloids. We have never produced or sold products containing ephedra. In February 2004, the FDA issued a final regulation declaring nutritional supplements containing ephedra under the FDCA because they present an unreasonable risk of illness or injury under the conditions of use recommended or suggested in labeling, or if no conditions of use are suggested or recommended in labeling, under ordinary conditions of use. The rule took effect on April 12, 2004, and bans the sale of nutritional supplement products containing ephedra. Similarly, the FDA issued a consumer advisory in 2002 with respect to nutritional supplements that contain the ingredient Kava, and the FDA is currently investigating adverse effects associated with ingestion of this ingredient. We have never produced or sold any products containing Kava.

DSHEA permits statements of nutritional support to be included in labeling for nutritional supplements without FDA premarket approval. These statements must be submitted to the FDA within 30 days of marketing and must bear a label disclosure that "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." These statements may describe a benefit related to a nutrient deficiency disease, the role of a nutrient or nutritional ingredient intended to affect the structure or function in humans, the documented mechanism by which a nutrient or dietary ingredient acts to maintain such structure or function, the general well-being from consumption of a nutrient or dietary ingredient, but may not expressly or implicitly represent that a nutritional supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat or prevent a disease. An entity that uses a statement of nutritional support in labeling must possess scientific evidence substantiating that the statement is truthful and not misleading. If the FDA determines that a particular statement of nutritional support is an unacceptable drug claim or an unauthorized version of a disease claim for a food product, or if the FDA determines that a particular

claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific data or is false or misleading, we would be prevented from using the claim.

In addition, DSHEA provides that so-called "third-party literature," e.g., a reprint of a peer-reviewed scientific publication linking a particular nutritional ingredient with health benefits, may be used in connection with the sale of a nutritional supplement to consumers without the literature being subject to regulation as labeling. Such literature must not be false or misleading; the literature may not promote a particular manufacturer or brand of nutritional supplement; the literature must present a balanced view of the available scientific information on the nutritional supplement; if displayed in an establishment, the literature must be physically separate from the nutritional supplement; and the literature may not have appended to it any information by sticker or any other method. If the literature fails to satisfy each of these requirements, we may be prevented from disseminating it with our products, and any dissemination could subject our products to regulatory action as an illegal drug. Moreover, any written or verbal representation by us that would associate a nutrient in a product that we sell with an effect on a disease will be deemed evidence of an intent to sell the product as an unapproved new drug, a violation of the FDCA.

We expect that the FDA will adopt in the future the final regulations, originally proposed in March 2003, regarding cGMPs in manufacturing, packing, holding and distributing dietary ingredients and nutritional supplements. These regulations will require nutritional supplements to be prepared, packaged, and held in compliance with strict rules, and will require quality control provisions that may mandate redundant testing of product ingredients at each separate stage of manufacture. We or our third-party suppliers or vendors could incur substantial additional expenses in order to comply with any new rules. If the FDA issues the final cGMPs for dietary supplements in late 2004, as the FDA's Acting Commissioner expects, we will have up to a year to ensure compliance. We expect to see an increase in our manufacturing costs as a result of the necessary increase in testing of raw ingredients and finished products and compliance with higher quality standards, although we are not certain of the amount of these costs.

The proposed regulations would establish standards to ensure that nutritional supplements and dietary ingredients are not adulterated with contaminants or impurities, and are labeled to reflect accurately the ingredients in the products. It also includes proposed requirements for designing and constructing physical plants, establishing quality control procedures, and testing manufactured dietary ingredients and nutritional supplements, as well as proposed requirements for maintaining records and for handling consumer complaints related to cGMPs. We are evaluating this proposal with respect to our manufactures. However, the proposed regulation can be expected to result in additional costs and possibly the need to seek alternate suppliers.

The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of the FDCA applicable to nutritional supplements, including powers to issue a public warning letter to an entity, to publicize information about illegal products, to request a recall of illegal products from the market, and to request the Department of Justice to initiate a seizure action, an injunction action, or a criminal prosecution in the United States courts. The regulation of nutritional supplements may increase or become more restrictive in the future.

Legislation has been introduced in Congress to impose substantial new regulatory requirements for dietary supplements, e.g., S.722, S.1538, S.1780, H.R. 3377 and H.R. 3866. S.722 would impose adverse event reporting, postmarket surveillance requirements, FDA reviews of nutritional supplement ingredients, and other requirements. H.R. 3377 would impose similar requirements as well as safety testing and records inspection. S.1538 would increase FDA appropriations to allow full implementation and enforcement of DSHEA. If enacted, S.722 and H.R. 3377 could raise our costs.

On April 12, 2004, the FDA adopted a new test for determining when a nutritional supplement is adulterated. Under this test, the FDA may declare a nutritional supplement adulterated (i.e., to present

an unreasonable risk of illness or injury) if it finds any benefit provided by the supplement outweighed by a risk of illness of injury. The new risk/benefit test is ill-defined and can be interpreted to permit FDA to hold a wide range of nutritional supplements adulterated. It is possible that FDA might hold more nutritional supplements adulterated in the future, reducing the nutritional ingredients available for use in our products.

The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of nutritional supplements. In recent years, the FTC has instituted numerous enforcement actions against nutritional supplement companies for deceptive advertising based on those companies' alleged failure to possess competent and reliable scientific evidence in support of claims made in advertising.

The FTC may monitor our advertising and could request all evidence in support of our advertising claims, which evidence is required to be kept by us in advance of advertising. Discerning what constitutes "competent and reliable scientific evidence" involves, to a degree, a subjective assessment of the relative level, degree, quality, and quantity of scientific evidence and its acceptance in the scientific community as proof of the advertising statement. It is therefore possible that we may think evidence we have as sufficient but the FTC may deem the evidence inadequate. We believe we are in material compliance with applicable federal, state and local rules.

Direct selling program. Our direct selling program is subject to a number of federal and state regulations administered by the FTC and various state agencies. These regulations include anti-pyramid laws, securities laws, and laws and regulations governing business opportunities, franchises, lotteries and deceptive trade practices.

The anti-pyramid laws generally are directed at ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to the retail consumers, that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization's products rather than the recruitment of new distributors, and that distributors are not saddled with large quantities of non-returnable inventory. We remain subject to the risk that, in one or more markets, our marketing system could be found not to be in compliance with applicable anti-pyramid laws. Failure by us to comply with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business in a particular market or in general.

We also are subject to the risk of private party challenges to the legality of our direct selling program. For example, in Webster v. Omnitrition International, Inc., 79 F.3d 776 (9th Cir. 1996), the multi-level marketing program of Omnitrition International, Inc. ("Omnitrition") was successfully challenged in a class action by Omnitrition distributors who alleged that Omnitrition was operating an illegal "pyramid scheme" in violation of federal and state laws. We believe that our direct selling program satisfies the standards set forth in the Omnitrition case and other applicable statutes and case law defining a legal marketing system, in part based upon what we believe are differences between our marketing system and that described in the Omnitrition case.

We monitor and respond to regulatory and legal developments, including those that may affect our direct selling program. However, the regulatory requirements concerning direct selling programs do not include bright line rules and are inherently fact-based. An adverse judicial determination with respect to our direct selling program could have a material adverse effect on our business. An adverse determination could: (1) require us to make modifications to our direct selling program, (2) result in negative publicity, (3) have a negative impact on independent distributor morale, (4) result in reduced revenues, (5) result in fewer celebrity endorsers of our products, and (6) potentially lead to the failure of the Company. In addition, adverse rulings by courts in any proceedings challenging the legality of multi-level marketing systems, even in those not involving us directly, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Regulatory enforcement by the FTC against direct sales programs that it believes are pyramids or that are engaging, or have engaged in, significant deceptive consumer practices have resulted in

complete failure of entities prior to an adverse ruling by a court in a contested hearing or trial. The FTC's practice is to conduct an investigation into a company's practices and activities as well as the practices and activities of its independent distributors. If the FTC believes that it has developed sufficient evidence, it will apply to a court for an ex parte temporary restraining order, an asset freeze, and the appointment of a receiver to run the company. The FTC has been successful in receiving such extraordinary relief from the courts. Once the temporary restraining order is issued, the independent distributors commonly abandon the selling company and move to other opportunities quickly. This can result in the failure of a direct selling company before a contested judicial proceeding occurs.

Federal and state securities laws may also apply to network marketing programs. If a network marketing company's compensation plan is not properly designed or implemented, the plan itself can fall within the definition of an "investment contract," which is a form of a security. Promoting such a program without registration is a violation of the securities laws and regulations. A violation could be prosecuted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities commissions, or a civil cause of action could be instituted by private parties, and may result in significant damage to, or the closure of, a direct selling company.

The FTC and many states have "Business Opportunity" laws and regulations. Business opportunities that have a required investment threshold that exceeds a specified amount are subject to registration and disclosure obligations. Some states also require the promoter of the program to secure a surety bond before offering the business opportunity in the state and impose a "cooling off" period before the promoter can sell the business opportunity to a prospect. If a state or the FTC determines that our program is subject to regulation under the business opportunity laws or regulations, we will be required to register and adhere to the applicable obligations imposed by the respective states to which the determination applies. This could impede the enrollment of new distributors and slow the sales of our products.

The application of the Federal Franchise Rule and state franchise laws have similar application as the business opportunity laws. If found to be a franchise, we would be required to prepare and submit a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular or similar disclosure document to independent distributors before they could enroll in the program. Additional compliance obligations would also be imposed. This could have a material adverse impact on the enrollment of new distributors and the sales of our products.

The United States Postal Services ("USPS") has determined that some network marketing programs constitute illegal postal lotteries. If a participant in the program must give consideration to participate, and the selling entity remunerates the participants based on the element of chance, the program constitutes a postal lottery. A determination that we are operating a postal lottery would have a material adverse consequence on us as the USPS would discontinue all mail service and could pursue criminal prosecution.

Research and Development

We incurred $5,511 on research and development for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and we expect to spend a modest amount over the remainder of 2004. We spent no funds in 2003 on research and development. We spent $88,456 on research and development in 2002 in completing the development of most of our current line of products. We expect to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering on research and development for two to four new products we expect to bring to market in 2005.

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Rights

We have obtained registration on trademarks for nine of our supplements: "Alpha Nac," "AO Elite," "Complex SPP," "CP Complex," "GC Elite," "JSH," "M32+," "Pure Heat," "Q-Zyme," and

"Visual Eyes." We have also obtained trademarks for our energy drink "eForce" and our protein shake product "VitaPro," as well as for three products we have discontinued. We have abandoned or not pursued efforts to register marks identifying other items in our product line for various reasons including the inability of some names to qualify for registration. We also received federal trademark registration for six names or expressions that we use or intend to use to distinguish ourselves from others: "Cube Up," "Get Cubed," "Simple, Innovative, Complete Nutrition," "The Power of Nutrition," "VitaCube" and "V3S." All trademark registrations are protected for a period of 10 years and then are renewable thereafter if still in use. We are currently pursuing a trademark for "PROformance" to be used in association with our direct sales marketing program.

In January 2004, we abandoned efforts to obtain a patent for the VitaCube® delivery system. We felt that to continue this effort was not warranted in light of the costs involved and the limited protection we might have been able to achieve. We are not currently pursuing any patents and do not expect to do so for the foreseeable future.

Employees

We had 12 full-time employees as of December 1, 2004. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Facilities

We lease an office, located at 480 South Holly Street, Denver, Colorado, from the father of Sanford D. Greenberg, our Chief Executive Officer, for $3,000 per month. Our lease will expire on December 31, 2004. We expect to renew the lease on substantially the same terms for a period of two years. Our annual office rent for 2003 was approximately $42,000.

On June 1, 2003, we contracted on a month-to-month basis with Stonepath Logistics, Inc. ("Stonepath") to manage and store our products. Stonepath stores our products in a controlled-environment warehouse in Denver, Colorado, and accepts bulk shipments on our behalf. We pay for these services on a per transaction basis, and our costs have been less than $1,000 per month.

Insurance

We maintain commercial general liability, including product liability coverage, and property insurance. Our policy provides for a general liability limit of $1 million per occurrence, and $2 million annual aggregate umbrella coverage. We also have a casualty insurance policy with a limit of $1.5 million on our main facility, including inventory, and $500,000 on our products not located at our main facility.

Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material threatened or pending legal proceedings.

Executive Compensation

The following table sets forth information with respect to compensation earned by Sanford D. Greenberg, our Chief Executive Officer, in 2002 and 2003. No other executive officer received cash compensation from us of $100,000 or more in 2002 or 2003.

Sanford D. Greenberg entered into an employment agreement with us, effective as of April 1, 2004. Mr. Greenberg's employment agreement provides for his employment as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Greenberg will receive a salary of $150,000 per year and may receive bonuses in such amounts as determined by our Compensation Committee. Mr. Greenberg will also be eligible to participate in bonuses on the same basis as other executives under any executive bonus plan adopted by us. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days prior written notice. Additionally, Mr. Greenberg may be terminated for "just cause" as defined in the employment agreement upon one business day's prior written notice. If Mr. Greenberg is terminated by us without just cause, he is entitled to two years salary payable over 24 months.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Greenberg also received stock options to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock at $3.00 per share. The options vest over four years provided that Mr. Greenberg is still employed by us and are exercisable for five years after vesting. If Mr. Greenberg is terminated without just cause, all his unvested options vest and are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of termination. If Mr. Greenberg is terminated for just cause, all unexercised options terminate as of his date of termination. Mr. Greenberg has agreed to forfeit options to purchase 50,000 shares upon completion of this offering and in connection with the issuance of Class A and Class B public warrants to certain stockholders in consideration of their entering into lockup agreements.

Timothy Transtrum entered into an employment agreement with us, effective as of February 2, 2004. Mr. Transtrum's employment agreement provides for his employment as our Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Transtrum will receive a salary of $110,000 per year and may receive bonuses in such amount as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Additionally, Mr. Transtrum may be terminated for "just cause" as defined in the employment agreement upon one business day's prior written notice. If Mr. Transtrum is terminated by us without just cause, he is entitled to a minimum six months salary payable over six equal monthly installments, and 50% of his unvested stock options would vest immediately. In the event we experience a change in control, Mr. Transtrum, at his option, may terminate his employment and require us to pay him two months of

his then existing salary for each full year of employment with us, up to a maximum of six months salary.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Transtrum also received stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share. The options vest over four years provided that Mr. Transtrum is still employed by us and are exercisable for five years. If Mr. Transtrum is terminated for just cause, all unexercised options terminate as of his date of termination.

David Litt entered into an employment agreement with us, effective as of October 1, 2004. Mr. Litt's employment agreement provides for his employment as our Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Mr. Litt will receive a base salary of $150,000 per year plus a bonus of up to a maximum of $150,000 per year based on the performance of the Company. He will be eligible for bonuses based on certain performance criteria as set forth in his employment agreement and may receive additional bonuses in such amount as determined by our board. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 15 days prior written notice. Additionally, Mr. Litt may be terminated for "just cause," as defined in the employment agreement, upon one business day's prior written notice. If Mr. Litt is terminated by us without just cause he is entitled to two months' base salary, any performance salary earned and any accrued but unpaid bonus. Mr. Litt will not be entitled to any severance benefits if, within six months of his termination of employment, he is employed by or becomes an advisor to one of our competitors.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Litt also received stock options to purchase 80,000 shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share, 30,000 of which are contingent based on meeting certain performance criteria as set forth in his employment agreement. The 50,000 non-contingent options vest over four years, with the first 10,000 shares vesting on October 1, 2004. Once the performance criteria are met, the contingent options will vest on the same schedule as the non-contingent options. The non-contingent options and the contingent options, if earned, are exercisable for five years provided that Mr. Litt is still employed by us. If Mr. Litt is terminated without just cause, he is entitled to any earned but not issued stock options based on the performance criteria and all vested options, all of which will terminate in accordance with the provisions of our equity incentive plan. All unvested stock options will terminate as of his date of termination.

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted in 2003 to Mr. Greenberg and there were no stock options exercised in 2003 by Mr. Greenberg. The following table sets forth information with respect to the December 31, 2003 option values held by Mr. Greenberg:

			Number of unexercised options at December 31, 2003		Value of unexercised in-the money options at December 31, 2003(1)
	Shares acquired on exercise(#)
Name		Value realized ($)

Sanford D. Greenberg	-0-	-0-	16,000	-0-	$	124,000	-0-

(1): The value of each option is based on $7.75, the last reported sales price of the common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board Market on December 31, 2003, less the exercise price payable for such shares.

2003 Equity Incentive Plan

During October 2002, our stockholders approved our 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2002 Plan"), a stock option plan that included incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that could be granted by us pursuant to the Plan could not exceed a maximum of 300,000 shares of common stock.

The 2002 Plan provided that with respect to incentive stock options (ISOs) the option price per share must be at least the fair market value (as determined by the compensation committee, or in lieu thereof, the board of directors) of the common stock on the date the stock option was granted or based on daily quotes from an exchange or quotation system designated by the compensation committee as the primary market for the shares. Under the 2002 Plan, if for any reason, a change in control occurred, all shares subject to the 2002 Plan immediately became vested and exercisable.

In June 2003, in connection with the reverse acquisition of Instanet, a new stock option plan (the "2003 Equity Incentive Plan") was adopted by us, with the same terms and conditions as the prior plan, except for an increase in the number of shares to be granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan to 800,000 shares of our common stock. Options under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan were substituted for options granted under the 2002 Plan. This modification in substance is treated as though we exchanged newly issued options with an exercise price of $5.00 per share for the options that had been issued under the 2002 Plan, with our Company incurring additional compensation cost for any incremental increase in value received by the option recipients under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. For vested options, the compensation cost is the excess of the value of the modified options over the original options, and such cost was recognized in 2003. Under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, non-vested options are measured similarly, though the excess value, if any, is amortized over the remaining vesting period. As a result of this modification, additional compensation cost was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2003, as reflected below in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus. See also Note 3 for a summary of options granted in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to attract persons of training, experience, and ability to continue as employees, directors, and consultants of our Company, and to furnish additional incentive to such persons to become stockholders of our Company.

Our board of directors, or a committee consisting of at least two or more non-employee directors, administers the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The administrator has the discretion to interpret the provisions of the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The administrator will also determine the persons who will receive awards under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, and the number of shares, vesting period, and other terms and conditions of the awards. Our board of directors may amend or discontinue the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan at any time, and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan will expire July 1, 2013.

Options granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan may be either incentive stock options, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, or nonqualified options. The expiration date, maximum number of shares purchasable, vesting provisions, and any other provisions of options granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan will be established at the time of grant. The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan administrator will set the term of each option, but no options may be granted for terms of greater than ten years. Options will vest and become exercisable in whole or in one or more installments at such time as may be determined by the plan administrator. With respect to incentive stock options granted, the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant in the event an optionee owns 10% or more of our common stock. With respect to nonqualified options, the exercise price may be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. If the optionee terminates his or her relationship with our Company for any reason, including death or disability, the optionee (or the optionee's estate) may exercise any vested options for a three-month period following his or her termination.

We may grant shares of restricted stock under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan to eligible persons upon the payment of consideration, if any, as determined by the plan administrator. The administrator may establish a performance goal that must be achieved as a condition to the retention of the restricted stock. The performance goal may be based on the attainment of performance measurement criteria,

which may differ as to various eligible persons. The plan administrator will set the performance criteria and will communicate the criteria in writing to the award recipient prior to the commencement of the period to which the performance relates. During the restricted period, and subject to restrictions on transfer of the shares, the award recipient shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights with respect to the common stock. In the event the eligible person ceases to be an employee, director, or consultant during a restriction period, or in the event performance goals attributable to a restricted stock award are not achieved, the shares subject to the award that have not been earned are subject to forfeiture.

If any change is made in the common stock subject to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, or subject to any award granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (through stock dividends, stock splits, combination of shares, or otherwise), the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan provides that appropriate adjustments will be made as to the aggregate number and exercise prices with respect to each outstanding award. In the event of a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of our Company, all restrictions relating to restricted stock awards will lapse, and all outstanding stock options will vest. Unless the agreement governing the change in control provides otherwise, upon consummation of the change in control, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate and all outstanding options will terminate if not exercised prior to the consummation of the change in control.

Effective November 17, 2004, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available to issue under its terms to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Indemnification

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws require us to indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada law, any of our officers and directors who is or is threatened to be made a party to any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or other action or proceeding instituted or threatened by reason of such person's relationship with us.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, our directors and officers shall not be liable to us or to any of our stockholders for damages caused by a breach of fiduciary duty by such director or officer.

Nevada law authorizes the indemnification of directors and officers against liability incurred by reason of being a director or officer and against expenses (including attorneys' fees) judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with any action seeking to establish such liability, in the case of third-party claims, if

•: the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our Company;
•: in the case of actions by or on behalf of us, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests; and
•: if such officer or director shall not have been adjudged liable to us, unless a court otherwise determines.

Nevada law also authorizes indemnification with respect to any criminal action or proceeding where the officer or director also had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our officers, directors, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought. We are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any such person. In addition, we may in the future enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These provisions and agreements may have the practical effect in certain cases of eliminating the ability of stockholders to collect monetary damages from directors and officers. We believe that these contractual agreements and the provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We lease our current corporate office space from Arnold Greenberg, the father of our Chief Executive Officer, Sanford D. Greenberg. We paid $46,800 and $42,000 in rent for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Our current lease at $3,000 per month expires at the end of December 2004.

On June 30, 2002, we agreed to repurchase 2,131,952 shares of our common stock from Warren Cohen, a founder and former director; in exchange he returned an additional 116,925 shares and received a long-term subordinated note for $1,335,861, which included additional monies loaned to us and accrued interest. The note provided for interest at 8% per year with principal and interest payable from 25% of our adjusted quarterly net income. Accrued interest on the note as of December 31, 2003, was $160,450. In March 2004, this note and all accrued interest were converted into 1,015,304 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share.

Sanford D. Greenberg converted $133,127 and $166,873 that he advanced us plus accrued interest into long-term subordinated loans on June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively. These notes provided for interest at 8% per year with principal and interest payable from 5% of our adjusted quarterly net income. Accrued interest on the notes as of December 31, 2003, was $34,040. Also on June 30, 2002, Mr. Greenberg contributed $788,780 of advances as additional paid in capital. On December 31, 2002, Mr. Greenberg converted $200,000 that he advanced us into a bridge loan with interest at 10% per year, principal and interest due December 31, 2003.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following is a summary of all material characteristics of the units, our capital stock as set forth in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, the Class A and Class B public warrants offered by this prospectus (including the 250,000 Class A and 250,000 Class B public warrants issued to certain shareholders with this offering), our warrants issued to MDB Capital Group LLC and its affiliates and our outstanding options to purchase our common stock as of December 1, 2004. However, the summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and bylaws, the public warrants themselves and the warrants issued to MDB Capital Group, all of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and to the provisions of Nevada corporate law.

Units

In the offering described in this prospectus, we are offering for sale units of our securities. Each unit consists of two shares of common stock and one Class A public warrant to purchase one additional share of common stock and one Class B public warrant to purchase one additional share of common stock. The Class A and Class B public warrants will trade only as a part of a unit for 45 days following this offering unless the representative of the underwriters determines that separate trading of the public warrants should occur earlier.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock of which 6,534,046 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 1, 2004. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders, and do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends as and when declared by our board of directors from assets or funds legally available under Nevada law, and to pro rata distribution of the assets of our Company upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our Company after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding preferred stock. The common stock has no preemptive rights, other subscription rights, or redemption or sinking fund provisions.

A 1-for-5 reverse split of our common stock will be effected December 8, 2004. Our majority shareholders have also authorized our board of directors in its discretion to effect an additional reverse split of the common stock on up to a 1-for-2 basis. We have not determined whether to effect such a stock split.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, rights, and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company, all without further action by our stockholders. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Class A and Class B Public Warrants

General

Set forth below is the description of the Class A and Class B public warrants, including 250,000 Class A and 250,000 Class B public warrants offered to certain of our stockholders in connection with this offering. Each Class A public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price per share of $ . Each Class B public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price per share of $ .

The exercise price per share of each Class A and Class B public warrant is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the public warrant certificate and summarized below. Once separated from the units, our public warrants may be exercised at any time after this offering until the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this offering, which is the expiration date, unless redeemed. Those of our public warrants which have not previously been exercised will expire on the expiration date. A public warrant holder will not be deemed to be a holder of the underlying common stock for any purpose until the public warrant has been properly exercised. For more detailed information, please see the warrant agreement which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement in which this prospectus is a part.

Separate Transferability

Our common stock and the Class A and Class B public warrants sold in this offering will initially be represented by certificates representing units, and we will not replace these certificates with certificates representing the component securities of the units for a period of 45 days following this offering unless the representative of the underwriters determines that separate trading of the public warrants should occur earlier. During such 45-day period, or such shorter period as the representative of the underwriters determines, the public warrants will not trade separately. We will announce in advance the commencement of trading in the public warrants by a press release. We will continue to list the units on the American Stock Exchange for up to 45 days following this offering but may cease to maintain the listing of the units at any time thereafter.

Redemption

At any time after the first anniversary of the date of this offering, we may redeem some or all of the public warrants at a price of $0.01 per public warrant (subject to adjustment), upon 30 days' notice so long the last reported sales price of the common stock has been at least $ for the Class A public warrants and $ for the Class B public warrants for 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third day prior to the day on which notice is given. We will send the written notice of redemption by first class mail to public warrant holders at their last known addresses appearing on the registration records maintained by the transfer agent for our public warrants. No other form of notice by publication or otherwise will be required. If we call any public warrants for redemption, they will be exercisable until the close of business on the business day next preceding the specified redemption date.

Exercise

A public warrant holder may exercise our Class A and Class B public warrants only if an appropriate registration statement is then in effect with the SEC and if the shares of common stock underlying these public warrants are qualified for sale under the securities laws of the state in which the holder resides. We are required to use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to such shares of our common stock at all times when the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price of the public warrants until the expiration date of the public warrants, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Our Class A and Class B public warrants may be exercised by delivering to our transfer agent the applicable public warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date or the redemption date, as applicable, with the form on the reverse side of the certificate executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price for the whole number of public warrants being exercised. Public warrants may only be exercised to purchase whole shares. Public warrant holders will receive cash equal to the current market value of any fractional interest, which will be the value of one whole interest multiplied by the fraction thereof, in the place of fractional public warrants that remain after exercise if they would then hold public warrants to purchase less than one whole share. Fractional shares will not be issued upon exercise of our public warrants.

During the term of the Class A and Class B public warrants, the holders thereof are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market of our common stock, with a resulting dilution in the interest of all other stockholders. So long as the public warrants are outstanding, the terms on which we could obtain additional capital may be adversely affected. The holders of the public warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the public warrants.

Adjustments of Exercise Price

The exercise price and redemption price of the Class A and Class B public warrants are subject to adjustment in specified circumstances, including in the event we declare any stock dividend to stockholders or effect any split or reverse split with respect to our common stock after the effective date of this offering. Therefore, if we effect any stock split or reverse split with respect to our common stock, the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such stock split or reverse split will be proportionately reduced or increased, respectively. Any adjustment of the exercise price will also result in an adjustment of the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of a public warrant or, if we elect, an adjustment of the number of public warrants outstanding. The public warrants do not contain provisions protecting against dilution resulting from the sale of additional shares of our common stock for less than the exercise price of the public warrants or the current market price of our common stock.

No Voting and Dividend Rights

Until exercised, the Class A and Class B public warrants will have no voting, dividend or other stockholder rights.

Warrants Issued to MDB Capital Group LLC and its Affiliates.

We issued warrants to purchase a total of 434,424 shares of our common stock to MDB Capital Group LLC, and five of its affiliates in connection with a private placement completed in April 2004. The warrants are exercisable until April 15, 2009, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The exercise price will be adjusted in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, or split of our common stock.

The holders of the warrants were granted the right to demand on one occasion the registration of the warrants and the common stock underlying the warrants. This right expires on April 15, 2009. The holders of the warrants also have the right to include the warrants and shares underlying the warrants on any registration of securities filed by us (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) or pursuant to Form S-8). The warrants and shares underlying the warrants have been included in our registration statement declared effective by the SEC on August 6, 2004.

Outstanding Options

The table below sets forth information regarding our outstanding options to purchase common stock as of December 1, 2004, pursuant to our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and outside of such option plan.

		Vested Shares		Unvested Shares		Total Shares
2003 Equity Incentive Plan		446,000		264,450		710,450
Options outside the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan		329,200		600,000		929,200

The exercise price of the options outstanding under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan is $5.00 per share, and the options are generally exercisable from 2004 through 2009. The exercise price of our outstanding vested options outside of the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan range in price from $2.50 to $5.00 per share and the options are exercisable from 2004 through 2009. The unvested options in respect of the 600,000 shares outside of the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan are exercisable from 2005 through 2013 at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Upon completion of this offering and the issuance of 250,000 Class A public warrants and 250,000 Class B public warrants to certain of our stockholders, 50,000 of the 600,000 unvested options outside the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan will be forfeited.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Law and Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Depending on the number of residents in the state of Nevada who own our shares, we could be subject to the provisions of Section 78.378 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes which, unless otherwise provided in a company's articles of incorporation or bylaws, restricts the ability of an acquiring person to obtain controlling interest in the Company in certain situations. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provision which would currently keep the change of control restrictions of Section 78.378 from applying to us.

We are subject to the provisions of Sections 78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became in interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation's board of directors and/or stockholders in a prescribed manner, or the person owns at least 85% of the corporation's outstanding voting stock after giving effect to the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. The term "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 10% or more of the corporation's voting stock. A Nevada corporation may "opt out" from the application of Section 78.411 et seq. through a provision in its articles of incorporation or bylaws. We have not "opted out" from the application of this section.

Apart from Nevada law, however, our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions which are sometimes associated with inhibiting a change of control from occurring (i.e., we do not provide for a staggered board, or for "super-majority" votes on major corporate issues).

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

As of December 1, 2004, we had 6,534,046 shares of common stock outstanding held by approximately 170 stockholders of record. We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold in the future by our existing stockholders or the effect, if any, that sales of shares by such stockholders, or the availability of the shares for sale, will have on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market would likely adversely affect prevailing market prices.

For purposes of Rule 144, "affiliates," include any person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by or is under common control with, us. In general, under Rule 144, a stockholder including an "affiliate," who has beneficially owned our shares for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of "restricted" shares that does not exceed the greater of:

•: one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock (or approximately 65,340 shares); or
•: the average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the notice reporting the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are subject to manner of sale limitations, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Rule 144(k) provides that a person who is not deemed our "affiliate" and who has beneficially owned our shares for at least two years is entitled to sell such shares at any time under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations described above.

As of December 1, 2004, we had options outstanding in respect of 710,450 shares of our common stock under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, all at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Of this amount, options in respect of 446,000 shares are presently exercisable, and the remaining options are generally exercisable from 2004 through 2009. In addition, we have outstanding options which were issued outside of our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan in respect of 929,200 shares, of which options to purchase 329,200 shares are presently exercisable at prices between $2.50 and $5.00 per share and are exercisable from 2004 through 2009. The unvested options to purchase 600,000 shares are exercisable from 2005 through 2013 at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Upon completion of this offering and the issuance of 250,000 Class A public warrants and 250,000 Class B public warrants to certain of our stockholders, options to purchase 50,000 of these shares will be forfeited. We also have outstanding warrants to purchase 434,424 shares of our common stock, exercisable until April 15, 2009, at $1.50 per share. In total, we have options and warrants outstanding with respect to 2,074,074 shares of our common stock with an average exercise price of $3.44.

There are 1,000,000 shares that have been authorized to be issued pursuant to our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. We may file a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of common stock issuable under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, thus permitting the resale of these shares in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act other than restrictions applicable to affiliates.

We have an existing registration statement in effect for the public offer and sale of 2,099,706 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 434,424 shares of common stock and the 434,424 shares underlying the warrants. The holders of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock have agreed, as part of this offering, to lockup, or not sell any of the common stock, the warrants or the shares underlying the warrants, for a period which is the earlier of 12 months from the date of the closing of this offering or until the average of the last reported sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $ for 20 consecutive trading days. In connection with this offering, we will be issuing 250,000 Class A public warrants and 250,000 Class B public warrants to these stockholders in consideration of these lockup agreements.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the open market, including shares issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants to purchase our common stock, or the perception that those sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of our equity securities.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Our transfer agent and registrar for our units, common stock and Class A and Class B public warrants is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., Denver, Colorado.

We have applied to list our common stock, units and Class A and Class B public warrants on the American Stock Exchange under the trading symbols " ," " ," " " and " ," respectively.

UNDERWRITING

The Shemano Group, Inc. is acting as the representative of the underwriters. We and the underwriters named below have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the units being offered by this prospectus. In connection with this offering and subject to certain conditions, each of the underwriters named below has severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the number of units set forth opposite the name of each underwriter.

Underwriters		Number of Units
The Shemano Group, Inc.

The underwriting agreement is subject to a number of terms and conditions and provides that the underwriters must buy all of the units if they buy any of them.

The representative has advised us that the underwriters propose to offer the units to the public at the public offering price indicated on the cover page of this prospectus, which includes the indicated underwriting discount, and that they will initially allow concessions not in excess of $ per unit, of which not in excess of $ per unit may be reallowed to other dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). After the public offering, concessions to dealer terms may be changed by the underwriters.

The underwriters have advised us that they do not intend to confirm sales of the units to any account over which they exercise discretionary authority in an aggregate amount in excess of 5% of the total securities offered by this prospectus.

We have granted to the underwriters an option which expires 45 days after the effective date of this offering, exercisable as provided in the underwriting agreement, to purchase up to an additional units at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. This option may be exercised only for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any. If the underwriters exercise the over-allotment in full, the total price to the public would be $11,040,000, the total underwriting discounts and commissions would be $883,000, and the total proceeds (before payment of expenses of this offering) or $ if the underwriters' over-allotment options is exercised.

The underwriting agreement provides that we will reimburse the representative for its expenses on a non-accountable basis in the amount equal to 3% of the aggregate public offering price of the offered units not including any over-allotment, of which $35,000 has been paid to date, and the balance of which will be paid on the closing of this offering.

Subject to the approval of the NASD, at the closing of this offering, we will sell to the representative or its designees at an aggregate purchase price of $100, underwriters' warrants to purchase a number of units equal to 10% of the units sold at an exercise price of $ (120% of the public offering price per unit). The securities to be delivered upon exercise of the underwriters' warrants are the same as contained in the units. The underwriters' warrants are exercisable for a period of four and one-half years commencing six months from the effective date of this offering. The underwriters' warrants contain provisions that protect their holders against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise on the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends or other changes in the number of our outstanding shares, on the same terms as the warrants and provisions for cashless exercise. No holder of the underwriters' warrants will possess any rights as a stockholder unless the warrant is exercised. The underwriters' warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated for a period of six months from the effective date of this offering, except to officers or partners (but not directors) of the underwriters and members of the selling group and/or their officers or partners. During the exercise period, the holders of the

underwriters' warrants will have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the common stock and the Class A and Class B public warrants. We expect that the underwriters' warrants will be exercised when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any capital needed on terms more favorable than that provided by the underwriters' warrants. Any profit realized by the representative on the sale of the underwriters' warrants or the underlying shares of common stock or Class A or Class B public warrants may be deemed additional underwriting compensation.

Beginning , 2005 we will pay to the representative, which has a right of first refusal to serve as warrant solicitation agent with respect to the Class A and Class B public warrants, a warrant solicitation fee of 5% of the aggregate exercise price of the Class A and Class B public warrants exercised pursuant to a warrant solicitation, if at the time of exercise of any such warrant

•: the market price of our common stock is equal to or greater than the then purchase price of the public warrant,
•: the exercise of the public warrant is solicited by the representative at such time while the representative is a member of the NASD,
•: the public warrant is not held in a discretionary account,
•: disclosure of the compensation arrangement is made in documents provided to the holders of the public warrants, and
•: the solicitation of the exercise of the public warrants is not in violation of Regulation M (as such regulation or any successor regulation or rule may be in effect as of such time of exercise) adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition to the warrant solicitation fee, we will pay all costs and expenses relating to any solicitation. The representative is the sole warrant solicitor agent in connection with the solicitation of warrants.

We have agreed that, upon the request of the representative, we will, at our expense, on one occasion during a four-year period commencing one year after the effective date of this registration statement, register securities underlying the underwriters' warrants under the Securities Act. We agreed to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the entire exercise term of the underwriters' warrants. The holders of the underwriters' warrant may request such registration of the underlying securities without exercising the underwriters' warrants. We have also agreed to include the underwriters' warrants, units, shares of common stock and Class A and Class B public warrants underlying the underwriters' warrants in any appropriate registration statement which is filed by us under the Securities Act during the seven years following the effective date of this registration statement. We have agreed to give the representative of the underwriters the right to designate one member to our board of directors for a year after the effective date of this offering. The representative has not yet identified a designee to serve in such capacity if it elects to exercise this right in the future. The director, if designated by the representative, would receive the same compensation as other non-management directors and would be reimbursed for the director's reasonable expenses.

In addition, the Company has agreed to enter into a financial advisory agreement with the representative for a period of 12 months commencing on the date of the closing of this offering for a fee of $16,000 per month, or an aggregate of $192,000.

For a period of three years from the effective date of this offering, the representative will have a right of first refusal with respect to underwriting any future public offerings of our securities on the same terms and conditions as may be proposed by another firm.

Until the distribution of the units offered by this prospectus is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters to bid for and to purchase units or their component securities. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the units. The Shemano Group, Inc., on behalf of the underwriters and selling group members, if any, and

their affiliates, may engage in over-allotment sales, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

•: Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position.
•: Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
•: Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock and Class A and Class B public warrants in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. The underwriters may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option to purchase additional units as described above.
•: Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the units originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering. Covered short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the representative's over-allotment option to purchase additional shares in this offering. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Naked short sales are sales in excess of the over-allotment option. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

In general, the purchase of a security to stabilize or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be otherwise. Neither we nor the underwriters can predict the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the units. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters can represent that the underwriters will engage in these types of transactions or that these types of transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The underwriting agreement provides for indemnification between us and the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and for contribution by us and the underwriters to payments that may be required to be made with respect to those liabilities. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Our officers, directors, certain stockholders owning in the aggregate shares of our common stock (or securities exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such number of shares) as of , 2004, have agreed that for a period of 12 months from the effective date of this offering that they will not sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our equity securities, other than through intra-family transfers or transfers to trusts for estate planning purposes, without the consent of The Shemano Group, Inc., as the representative of the underwriters, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, holders of shares of our outstanding common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and a principal stockholder, who owns 1,338,800 shares of our outstanding common stock, have agreed to a similar lockup except they will be released from the lockup in the event the average of the last reported sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds $ for 20 consecutive trading days

prior to the expiration of the 12 month lockup period. The Shemano Group, Inc. may consent to an early release from the lockup periods if in its opinion the market for the common stock would not be adversely impacted by such sales and in cases of an officer, director or other stockholder's financial emergency. We are unaware of any officer, director or stockholder who intends to ask for consent to dispose of any of our equity securities during the lockup period.

The initial public offering price of the units offered by this prospectus and the exercise price of the public warrants were determined by negotiation between us and the representative of the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price of the units and the exercise price of the public warrants were:

•: the market price of our common stock;
•: our history and our prospects;
•: the industry in which we operate;
•: the status and development prospects for our proposed products and services;
•: our past and present operating results;
•: the previous experience of our executive officers; and
•: the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.

The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the units. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, and we cannot assure you that the units, or the common stock and Class A and Class B public warrants contained in the units, can be resold at or above the initial public offering price.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Lohf Shaiman Jacobs Hyman & Feiger PC, Denver, Colorado. This firm owns 113,438 shares of our common stock and has an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock fully exercisable until June 2008, at $5.00 per share. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the representative of the underwriters by Blank Rome LLP, New York, New York.

Our Audit Committee recommended and approved the change in accountants.

The report on the financial statements prepared by Staley for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. However, the report included a going concern emphasis paragraph. We did not have any disagreements with Staley on any accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Neither us nor anyone on our behalf consulted Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP on any matter relating to the application of accounting principles to a specified completed or contemplated transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the board of directors
VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred a net loss of $2,084,982 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and has incurred net losses since inception. In addition, at December 31, 2003, current liabilities exceed current assets by $1,056,203. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

VITACUBE SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc., formerly Instanet, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("VSHI" or the "Company") was incorporated in January 2001. On September 8, 2003, the Company changed its name from Instanet, Inc. to VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. Prior to March 2003, the Company was organized to exploit an agency agreement with an outside company for the purpose of providing market extensions, including on the Internet, for an electronic cash transmission system. The Company had no revenue from operations since inception and was considered a development stage company. In March 2003, the Company abandoned its business plan and sought to find an operating company with whom to combine.

On June 20, 2003, VSHI acquired VitaCube Systems, Inc. ("VitaCube"), a Colorado corporation, incorporated in October 2000, in a stock-for-stock exchange. The acquisition was accomplished through the exchange of all of the outstanding shares of VitaCube for 2,714,403 common shares of VSHI, then representing a controlling interest in VSHI. The acquisition of VitaCube by VSHI is considered a reverse acquisition and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under reverse acquisition accounting, VitaCube is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial purposes, acquiring the assets and assuming the liabilities of VSHI. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported at their historical cost, and no adjustments were required to the carrying values since management considers the historical cost to approximate fair value. The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2003, include the accounts of VitaCube since inception (October, 2000) and the accounts of VSHI since June 20, 2003. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has authorized a 1 for 5 reverse split of its common stock, to be effective prior to the consummation of this offering. In connection with the reverse acquisition all historical common share amounts of VitaCube have been retroactively restated to reflect the capital structure of VSHI in connection with reverse acquisition mentioned above and then adjusted for the 1 for 5 reverse stock split.

VSHI operates, develops, markets and sells a line of nutrition and sports supplement products, consisting of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and proteins. Its vitamin/mineral complexes are organized into systems of nutrition called VitaCubes that explicitly tell the consumer what supplements to take and when to take them, making these products easy to use. The Company has also developed a high-quality protein beverage called the VitaPro® Nutrition Shake.

During the last 6 months ending December 31, 2003, the Company has changed its focus to network marketing. Network marketing is conducted through VitaCube Network Inc., a wholly owned Colorado corporation, formed on July 9, 2003. The network marketing program consists of independent distributors establishing a network of people buying our products and developing a network of like-minded independent distributors underneath them. Qualified independent distributors then earn commissions based upon their sales and sales of independent distributors underneath them.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the

F-7

Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,084,982 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and has accumulated a stockholders' deficit of $4,868,405.

In view of these matters, realization of a significant portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent on the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent on the success of future profitable operations. The Company has been developing awareness of its product and has recently implemented a marketing plan to sell their products through an independent network of independent distributors. However, the Company is relying on additional capital raised through private placement of its securities to continue operations as it develops its independent distributor and customer base. Within time, management believes that demand for its products will develop to allow the Company to become profitable.

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company uses the allowance method in accounting for bad debts. At December 31, 2003, the Company has recorded a net allowance of $1,796 to encompass both uncollectible receivables and an allowance for return products.

Property and Equipment

The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method of depreciation based on estimated useful lives of between three and ten years.

Revenue Recognition

The Company ships its products by common carrier and receives its product sales price in the form of cash, credit card or approved credit terms. The Company offers a 30-day money back guarantee on initial orders to new customers and historically averages less than 3% in credits for returned or unsold products. Sales discounts include discounts provided to professional athletes, resellers, and other customers to promote and increase sales of the Company's products. Sales revenue and related discounts, volume incentives and estimated returns are recorded when the merchandise is shipped since performance by the Company is considered met when products are in the hands of the common carrier. Amounts received for unshipped merchandise are recorded as customer deposits and are included in accrued liabilities.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset.

F-8

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on a FIFO (first-in first-out) basis. Provision is made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to the estimated net realizable value. The Company purchases vitamins, packages them, and resells them in various forms and containers.

Inventory is comprised of the following:

	December 31, 2003			December 31, 2002
Raw materials	$	36,854		$	389,849
Finished goods		280,965			137,206
Provision for obsolete inventory		(31,782	)		0

	$	286,037		$	527,055

Summary of the Company's inventory allowance for the year ended December 31, 2003 is as follows:

Balance as of January 1, 2003	$	0
Addition to Allowance		209,678
Write off for obsolete		(177,896	)

Balance as of December 31, 2003	$	31,782

Advertising Costs

Advertising and marketing costs were $405,254 and $601,597 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively and are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets

The Company's intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated life of 15 years.

Income Taxes

Prior to January 1, 2003, VitaCube had elected to be treated under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders were taxed on the Company's taxable income, whether or not distributed. VitaCube terminated its "S" election on January 1, 2003. Any losses prior to that date were allocated to the stockholders and may not be used by the Company after January 1, 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2003, VSHI will be taxed as a C Corporation.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing

F-9

assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS NO. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to employees.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the emerging issues task force consensus in issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services".

Net Loss Per Share

Earnings per share requires presentation of both basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Since the Company has a net loss for all periods presented since inception, any common stock equivalents would not be included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Weighted average shares include the historical common shares outstanding of VitaCube since inception (after taking into effect the share exchange with VSHI), and VSHI since December 31, 2003.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are carried at fair value or contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based on relative market information and information about each financial instrument, specifically, the value of the underlying financial instrument. Assets that are recorded at fair value consist largely of short-term receivables and other assets, which are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Similarly, the Company's liabilities consist primarily of short term liabilities recorded at contracted amounts that approximate fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"), which requires that, for guarantees within the scope of FIN 45 issued or amended after December 31, 2002, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee be recognized. FIN 45 does not apply to certain guarantee contracts, such as for a lessee's residual value guarantee embedded in a capital lease. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures in financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002, which we have adopted. However, as of September 30, 2003, the Company believes that, other than product public warranty, it has no material items subject to the new disclosure requirements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"), which (i) amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation; (ii) amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation; and (iii) amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. Items (ii) and (iii) of the new requirements in SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. We have included the disclosure requirements of item (ii) and (iii) in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

In May 2003, SFAS 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity", was issued. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Generally, a financial instrument, whether in the form of shares or otherwise, that is mandatorily redeemable, i.e. that embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem it by transferring its shares or assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur, must be classified as a liability (or asset in some circumstances). In some cases, a financial instrument that is conditionally redeemable may also be subject to the same treatment. This Statement does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative (as defined) in its entirety. For public entities, this Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not effect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $.001 par value. The holders of the common stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of the common stock of the Company. Dividends have no cumulative rights and dividends will not accumulate if the board of directors does not declare such dividends. Through December 31, 2003, no dividends have been declared or paid by the Company.

In January 2003, VitaCube issued 52,384 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share to certain individuals and entities as compensation.

In June 2003, the Company converted bridge loans in the amount $115,000 to 23,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

In connection with the Private Placement of securities for the period ended December 31, 2003, the Company sold 202,003 shares of common stock for $5.00 per share.

In addition, the Company granted options to purchase 24,000 shares of the Company's common stock in connection with obtaining debt financing. These options are not included in the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. The options are fully vested with an exercise price of $5.00 per share and are exercisable for up to 5 years (see "Note 9").

NOTE 3—STOCK OPTIONS

During October 2002, the stockholders of VitaCube approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), a stock option plan that includes incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that could be granted by VitaCube pursuant to the Plan was not to exceed a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of VitaCube stock during the period of the Plan, which became effective as of January 1, 2002.

The Plan provided that with respect to incentive stock options ("ISO") the option price per share must be at least the fair market value (as determined by the Compensation Committee or, in lieu thereof, the board of directors) of the common stock on the date the stock option is granted or based on daily quotes from an exchange or quotation system designated by the Compensation Committee as the primary market for the shares. Under the Plan, an ISO is granted to an employee who owned more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of VitaCube or any of its subsidiaries, then the option price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option, and the term of the option must not exceed 5 years from the date of grant. Under the Plan, if for any reason, a change in control of VitaCube occurred, all shares subject to the Plan immediately become vested and exercisable.

In June 2003, in connection with the reverse acquisition, the Plan was reconstituted through the Company's adoption of a new stock option plan (the "2003 Equity Incentive Plan"), with the same terms and conditions as the VitaCube Plan, except for an increase in the number of shares to be granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, to 800,000 (as adjusted for the 1 for 5 reverse split) shares of common stock of VSHI. This modification in substance is treated as though the Company exchanged newly issued options with an exercise price of $5.00 per share for the options that had been issued under the VitaCube Plan, with the Company incurring additional compensation cost for the

F-12

incremental increase in value, if any, received by the option recipients under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. For vested options, the compensation cost is the excess of the value of the modified options over the original options and is recognized in the current period. Under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, non-vested options are measured similarly, though the excess value, if any, is amortized over the remaining vesting period. As a result of this modification, additional compensation cost was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2003, as reflected below.

On October 15, 2004, the Company amended the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available under the Plan to 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

A summary of the status of the Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, together with changes during each of the years then ended, is presented in the following table:

2003 Stock Incentive Plan

	550,275		—	—	398,025		—

At December 31, 2003, 449,725 share options were available for future grant under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.

F-13

Had the Company measured compensation cost based on the fair value of the options at the grant date at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and loss per common share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

			December 31, 2003			December 31, 2002
Net loss, as reported			$	(2,084,982	)	$	(1,605,857	)
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects				138,765			—
Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects				(172,667	)		—

Pro forma net loss			$	(2,118,884	)	$	(1,605,857	)

Earnings per share:
	Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share
		As reported		(.706	)		(.424	)
		Pro forma		(.718	)		(.424	)

The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2002 and 2003: risk-free interest rate of 1.74% and a range between 3.18%-3.29%, respectively; no dividend yield; expected life of 5 years; and volatility of 0% and a range between 0.37%-0.38%, respectively.

During the initial phase-in period of applying SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosure purposes, the results may not be representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) for future years because options vest over several years and additional grants generally are made each year.

NOTE 9—BRIDGE LOANS AND NOTE PAYABLES

During the year ended December 31, 2002, VitaCube obtained bridge financing from two unrelated persons totaling $300,000, bearing interest at 10%, payable one year from the date received. In addition, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and major stockholder advanced $200,000 of bridge loan financing as of December 31, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, VSHI obtained additional bridge financing from an unrelated entity totaling $25,000. In connection with the share exchange, the last bridge loan lender agreed to convert his $25,000 note into 5.000 shares of the Company's common stock (at $5.00 per share) under the Company's Private Placement. In connection with this transaction, accrued interest of $1,130 was waived. In addition, a second bridge lender agreed to convert $75,000 of the principal amount and $15,000 of accrued interest due him for 18,000 shares of the Company's common stock (at $5.00 per share) under the Company's Private Placement, waiving $3,466 of additional accrued interest and modifying the terms and due date of this note of which the Company's president and major stockholder personally guaranteed. Also, another bridge loan lender forgave $5,000 of the principal amount of his bridge loan and $2,644 of accrued interest in exchange for a modification of the due date. As of December 31, 2003, the Company prepaid $172,500 of the outstanding bridge loan financing.

During October 2003, the Company borrowed $50,000 from an unrelated party, which was evidenced by a promissory note. As part of the consideration for the loan, the Company granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share, which option was fully vested and exercisable for 5 years. This option was not part of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan. The promissory note provided for interest at 18% per annum and was due 30 days after the loan was funded. The note further provided that, in event the note was not duly paid, the holder of note was entitled to (i) an additional option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share (with this option having the same terms as the option for 2,000 shares) and (ii) convert the note into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. This note was not paid when due so, in December 2003, the holder was granted the second option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share, and in 2004 the note was converted into 20,000

F-17

shares of common stock. In connection with this transaction the Company recorded interest of $50,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note.

In December 2003, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from another unrelated party. The terms of this note were the same as the loan made by the Company in October 2003. An option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share was granted as partial consideration for this loan. When this $50,000 was not paid in January 2004 the note holder was granted a second option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share, and the note was converted into 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Also in January 2004, in connection with this transaction the Company recorded interest of $50,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note.

At December 31, 2003, there was $2,244 of accrued interest with respect to these two notes, which was extinguished when the notes were converted into common stock.

NOTE 10—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS TO THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

During January 2004, additional debt financing was provided to the Company by multiple unrelated parties, in the total principal amount of $205,000. This financing was evidenced by promissory notes and have the same terms and conditions as the two promissory notes executed in October and December 2003. In connection with the January financing, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 16,200 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share. When the January notes were not paid when due, options to purchase an additional 31,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share were granted to the various note holders, and the notes were all converted into a total of 82,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with this transaction the Company recorded interest of $205,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note.

On January 27, 2004, the Company sold 5,996 shares in connection with the Private Placement of securities at $5.00 per share.

On January 31, 2004, the Company closed the Private Placement of securities, issuing a total of 207,999 shares of the Company's common stock at per share price of $5.00.

During February 2004, the note holders elected to exercise the conversion terms for all of the outstanding promissory notes issued in November 2003, December 2003 and January 2004. As per the conversion terms 122,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.50 per share were issued and 40,000 shares of stock options were granted at $5.00 per share and 31,000 shares of stock options were granted at $2.50 per share.

VITACUBE SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries—VitaCube Systems, Inc. and VitaCube Network, Inc.—are in the business of selling, marketing and distributing nutritional supplement products. We market our products primarily through direct selling, in which independent distributors sell our products. In addition, we sell our products directly to professional and Olympic athletes and professional sports teams. Our product lines consist of a sports energy drink, a protein shake and a full product line of vitamins and minerals in the form of tablets, softgels or capsules, all of which are manufactured using our proprietary product formulations. We package our supplements in our unique, easy to use and convenient delivery system know as the VitaCube®.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows presented herein from inception (October 30, 2000) through September 30, 2004 have been included in the financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004

Reverse Stock Split

On October 15, 2004, by written consent to action the shareholders holding 59% of our common stock approved a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with no change in the number of authorized shares of common stock. The board of directors was given the discretion to determine the timing of the reverse split. Also approved was an amendment to the 2003 Incentive Stock Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock eligible for awards under the Plan from 4,000,000 per-split shares (800,000 post-split shares) to 5,000,000 pre-split shares (1,000,000 post-split shares.)

In connection with the 1-for-5 reverse stock split, all historical common shares amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split mentioned above.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated (deficit) of ($6,585,594) at September 30, 2004. Operations have been financed primarily through issuance of common stock and loans from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, one of the Company's prior directors and other unrelated third party loans.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net (loss) of $1,717,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and has a shareholders' equity of $1,058,132. All of these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

F-23

In view of these matters, realization of a significant portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent on the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent on the success of future profitable operations. The Company has recently implemented a sales and marketing plan to sell its products to consumers through an independent network of distributors. Management believes that within time, through the development of its distributor and customer base, the demand for its products will develop and allow the Company to become profitable. However, management believes that additional funding will be required to achieve profitability.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with three financial institutions in the form of demand deposits and money market funds. The funds in excess of the federally insured amount of $100,000 are subject to credit risk, and to date the Company has not incurred a loss relating to this credit risk.

Accounts Receivable

The Company uses the allowance method in accounting for bad debts. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company has recorded a net allowance of $1,650 and $1,796, respectively, to encompass both uncollectible receivables and an allowance for returned products.

F-24

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on a FIFO (first-in first-out) basis. Provision is made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to the estimated net realizable value. The Company purchases for resale a sports energy drink, a protein shake and other vitamins and nutritional supplements, which it packages in various forms and containers.

Inventory is comprised of the following:

	September 30, 2004			December 31, 2003
Raw materials	$	41,704		$	36,854
Finished goods		525,918			280,965
Provision for obsolete inventory		(17,299	)		(31,782	)

	$	550,323		$	286,037

Summary of the Company's inventory allowance for the period ended September 30, 2004 is as follows:

Balance as of January 1, 2004		$	31,782
	Write-off of obsolete inventory		(14,483	)

Balance as of September 30, 2004		$	17,299

Property and Equipment

The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method of depreciation based on estimated useful lives of between three and ten years.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and marketing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $283,120 and $340,409, respectively and are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company ships its products by common carrier and receives payment in the form of cash, credit card payment or approved credit terms. The Company offers a 60-day money back guarantee on initial orders to new customers and distributors. The Company has historically averaged less than 3% in credits for returned or unsold products. Sales discounts include discounts provided to professional and Olympic athletes and professional sports teams. Sales revenue and related discounts, volume incentives and estimated returns are recorded when the merchandise is shipped since performance by the Company is considered met when products are in the hands of the common carrier. Amounts received for unshipped merchandise are recorded as customer deposits and are included in accrued liabilities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS NO. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,

F-25

"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to employees.

If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and pro forma net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been reported as follows:

			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
Net (loss), as reported			$	(1,717,189	)	$	(1,553,948	)
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects				194,074			88,376
Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects				(243,364	)		(119,050	)

Pro forma net (loss), SFAS No. 123			$	(1,766,479	)	$	(1,584,622	)

Earnings per share:
	Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share
		As reported		(.315	)		(.542	)
		Pro forma		(.324	)		(.553	)

Net Loss Per Share

Earnings per share require presentation of both basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Since the Company has a net loss for all periods presented since inception, any common stock equivalents would not be included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2003, SFAS 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," was issued. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some

F-26

circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Generally, a financial instrument, whether in the form of shares or otherwise, that is mandatorily redeemable, i.e. that embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem it by transferring its shares or assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur, must be classified as a liability (or asset in some circumstances). In some cases, a financial instrument that is conditionally redeemable may also be subject to the same treatment. This Statement does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative (as defined) in its entirety. For public entities, this Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $.001 par value. The holders of the common stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of the common stock of the Company. Dividends have no cumulative rights and dividends will not accumulate if the Board of Directors does not declare such dividends. Through September 30, 2004 no dividends have been declared or paid by the Company.

On January 27, 2004, the Company sold 5,996 common shares in connection with a continuing Private Placement of securities at $5.00 per share that commenced in fiscal year 2003. On January 31, 2004, the Company closed the Private Placement of securities.

During February 2004, note holders of the Company elected to exercise a conversion provision in the notes converting all of the outstanding promissory notes issued in November 2003, December 2003 and January 2004 into 122,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share.

During March 2004, the Company undertook a second private offering of a minimum of $2,300,000 ("the Offering") of its common stock in accordance with Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or another exemption from registration under applicable securities laws. On April 15, 2004, the Company closed the Offering, raising a total of $2,497,925 through the sale of 1,665,290 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share.

In addition, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent for the purchase of 434,424 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.50 per share, exercisable for 5 years.

In connection with the Offering, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Sanford Greenberg, converted $300,000 of long term subordinated loans and $200,000 of bridge loans plus $63,674 of accrued interest into 375,783 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share. One of the Company's former directors, Warren Cohen, converted $1,335,861 of a long term subordinated loan plus $187,094 of accrued interest into 1,015,304 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share. In addition, the Company issued 66,667 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share to a creditor for $100,000 of previously accrued services.

In April 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share as a bonus to its chief financial officer and 2,000 shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share to its outside video production company for services rendered.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company's shareholders and former directors advanced monies to the Company totaling $1,635,861 as of December 31, 2003, which amounts were represented by subordinated promissory notes. The notes to both shareholders bore interest at 8% per annum with principal and interest payable contingent on a quarterly percentage of net income (as defined). The notes, if not re-paid in five years, were due on June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, respectively.

Rental expenses for these operating leases were $35,374 and $22,023 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

7. BRIDGE LOANS AND NOTE PAYABLES

As of December 31, 2003 the Company had an outstanding loan balance of $147,500 from bridge financing obtained from an unrelated party. In April 2004, the Company re-paid all outstanding bridge loan financing.

In addition, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and major shareholder advanced $200,000 of bridge loan financing as of December 31, 2003, and on March 31, 2004, converted the principal of $200,000 and accrued interest of $24,986 into 149,991 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share.

During October 2003 the Company borrowed $50,000 from an unrelated party, evidenced by a promissory note. As part of the consideration for the loan, the Company granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share, which option was fully vested and exercisable for 5 years. This option was not part of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan. The promissory note provided for interest at 18% per annum and was due 30 days after the loan was funded. The note further provided that, in event the note was not paid when due, the holder of note was entitled to (i) an additional option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share (with this option having the same terms as the option for 2,000 shares) and (ii) conversion of the note into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. This note was not paid when due, and in December 2003 the holder was granted the second option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded interest of $50,000 in November 2003 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note.

In December 2003 the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from another unrelated party. The terms of this note were the same as the loan made to the Company in October 2003. An option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share was granted as partial consideration for this loan. This note was not paid when due, and in January 2004 the note holder was granted a second option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share. Also in January 2004 in connection with this transaction, the Company recorded interest of $50,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note.

F-29

During January 2004 the Company borrowed an additional $205,000 from multiple unrelated parties.

These options are not part of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan. The promissory notes provided for interest at 18% per annum and were due 30 days after the loans were funded. The notes further provided that, in event the notes were not duly paid, the holders of notes were entitled to (i) additional options to purchase 31,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share (with this option having the same terms as the options for 16,200 shares) and (ii) conversion of the notes into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. The notes was not paid when due, and in February 2004 the holders were granted the second options to purchase 31,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.50 per share. In February 2004 in connection with this transaction, the Company recorded interest of $205,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the notes.

These warrants have identical terms as the Class A and Class B public warrants described in the attached prospectus for the public offering of units, except that the warrants will be issued separately from the units offered in the unit public offering, and will become tradeable only after 45 days of the effective date of the public offering of the units, or earlier if The Shemano Group, Inc., the representative of the underwriters, determines that separate trading of the Class A and Class B public warrants should occur earlier. Other than as described in the previous sentence, the underwriters of our public offering of units described in the attached prospectus have no involvement in this issuance of Class A and Class B public warrants. The terms of the Class A and Class B public warrants issued hereby are described in the attached prospectus under "Description of Securities—Class A and Class B Public Warrants."

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our bylaws require us to indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of any foreign or domestic profit or nonprofit corporation or of any partnership, joint venture, trust, profit or nonprofit unincorporated association, limited liability company, or other enterprise or employee benefit plan.

Except with respect to stockholder derivative actions, the bylaw provisions generally state that the director or officer will be indemnified against reasonable expenses, amounts paid in settlement and judgments, fines, penalties and/or other amounts reasonably incurred with respect to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, provided that (i) such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The foregoing standards also apply with respect to the indemnification of expenses incurred in a stockholder derivative suit. However, a director or officer may only be indemnified for settlement amounts or judgments incurred in a derivative suit to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine.

Our articles of incorporation provide that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, any person who is or was our director or officer against any claim, liability or expense arising against or incurred by such person made party to a proceeding because he is or was our director or officer or because he is or was serving another entity or employee benefit plan as our director or officer. We also have the authority to the maximum extent permitted by law to purchase and maintain insurance providing such indemnification.

Nevada Revised Statute § 78.7502(1) provides that we may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in our right, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. We may indemnify the officer or director for the above mentioned actions (1) if the officer or director is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 78.138 ("Directors and officers: Exercise of powers; performance of duties; presumptions and considerations; liability to corporation and stockholders."), or (2) if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. Indemnification is also available with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, where the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Nevada Revised Statute § 78.7502(2) provides that we may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at the request of us as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit. We may indemnify the officer or director for the above mentioned

II-1

actions (1) if he is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138, or (2) if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our the best interests.

Nevada Revised Statute § 78.7502(3) provides that to the extent that our director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, we must indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Our articles of incorporation contain a provision to limit the personal liability of our directors for violations of their fiduciary duties. This provision eliminates each director's liability to us or our stockholders, for monetary damages except (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and (ii) under Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty including any such actions involving gross negligence.

In April 2004, Mr. DiGiandomenico, a director, was issued a warrant in respect of 99,095 shares of our common stock in connection with his role as managing member of MDB Capital in a private offering we completed in April. The warrant provides that, in connection with any registration statement we may file under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the warrant and shares issuable thereunder, we will indemnify Mr. DiGiandomenico against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability to any claim he may be subject to under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise, arising from such registration statement. If the indemnification or reimbursement provided for under the warrant is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Mr. DiGiandomenico (other than as a consequence of a final judicial determination of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of Mr. DiGiandomenico), the warrant provides, in lieu of indemnifying him, that we will contribute to the amount paid or payable by him in relative proportions of fault.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

Set forth below is information concerning sales of unregistered securities by Instanet, Inc., VitaCube Systems, Inc. and VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. over the past three years. Unless

II-2

otherwise noted, the securities issuances described below were made in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided in Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder based on the limited number of purchasers, and on the recipients' sophistication in financial matters, access to material information, and on representations received from the recipients, including those establishing their status as "accredited investors" and their intent to acquire the securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution. Unless otherwise noted, no advertising or general solicitation was used and no underwriter, broker or finder was involved in the offerings and the certificates representing common stock issued have restrictive legends noting prohibitions on transfer absent registration under applicable securities laws or an exemption therefrom.

Instanet, Inc. Instanet, Inc. was organized in January 2001, and at that time, sold 90,000 shares to one of its founders, officers and directors for $10,000 ($0.11 per share) and 180,000 shares to its other founder for $20,000 ($.011 per share). In February 2001, it issued 20,000 stock options to an executive officer, and 5,000 stock options to an employee, under its then existing 2001 Stock Option Plan, exercisable at $1.25 per share. The stock options were issued to persons who were familiar with the business of Instanet.

On June 20, 2003, Instanet, Inc. acquired VitaCube Systems, Inc. ("V3S"), a Colorado corporation formed in October 2000, in a stock-for-stock exchange. The acquisition was accomplished through the exchange of all the outstanding shares of V3S for 2,714,403 common shares of Instanet, then representing a controlling interest in Instanet. The seven stockholders of V3S to whom the Instanet shares were issued had access to full information concerning Instanet and represented that they acquired the shares for their own account and not for the purpose of distribution. On September 8, 2003, Instanet changed its name to VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. (the "Company").

VitaCube Systems, Inc. The V3S shares acquired by Instanet in the June 20, 2003, stock-for-stock exchange were originally issued by V3S to its founders (Messrs. Sanford D. Greenberg and Warren Cohen) in late 2000. In addition, there were five small stock issuances totaling 52,384 shares to certain individuals and entities for services. The persons to whom the shares were issued were employees or outside counsel to V3S, had access to full information concerning V3S and represented that they acquired the shares for their own account and not for the purpose of distribution.

In addition, from the period of January 1, 2002, through June 20, 2003, V3S issued options in respect of 404,650 shares, at $5.00 per share, to 43 persons, including 20 celebrity endorsers/scientific advisors, five consultants, 12 employees, its outside law firm and five persons affiliated with its proposed underwriter of a potential public offering which was not undertaken. The persons to whom the shares were issued had access to full information concerning V3S and represented that they acquired the securities for their own account and not for the purpose of distribution. The options which had not previously been forfeited were cancelled and reissued by Instanet as part of the June 20, 2003, stock exchange with V3S.

On June 30, 2002, V3S agreed to repurchase 2,131,952 shares of its common stock from Warren Cohen, a director, in exchange for a long-term subordinated note for $1,335,861. The note provided for interest at 8% per year with principal and interest payable from 20% of adjusted quarterly net income. In March 2004, this note and all accrued interest was converted into 1,015,304 shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $1.50 per share.

Sanford D. Greenberg, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, donated to V3S 116,925 shares of its common stock and converted $133,127 and $166,873 that he advanced to V3S, plus accrued interest, into long-term subordinated loans on June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively. These notes provided for interest at 8% per year with principal and interest payable from 5% of adjusted quarterly net income. On December 31, 2002, Mr. Greenberg converted $200,000 that he advanced V3S into a bridge loan with interest at 10% per year, principal and interest due December 31, 2003. As part of the terms of the bridge loan, Mr. Greenberg was granted an option to

II-3

purchase 16,000 shares of Company common stock at $5.00 per share. As of December 31, 2003, Mr. Greenberg had advanced an additional $110,040 which was due on demand accruing interest at 10% per year. In March 2004, Mr. Greenberg converted $500,000 of principal and $63,674 of accrued interest on the long term subordinated loan and the bridge loan into 375,783 shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share.

In late 2002 and early 2003, V3S also issued $525,000 of short-term promissory notes to four "accredited investors", including the $200,000 bridge loan of Mr. Greenberg discussed above. Each purchaser of a promissory note also received an option to purchase V3S common stock at $5.00 per share. The persons to whom the shares were issued had access to full information concerning V3S and represented that he or she acquired the securities for his or her own account and not for the purpose of distribution.

The Company. In June 2003, the Company commenced a private placement of its common stock which was completed as of January 31, 2004. In this private placement the Company issued 207,999 shares of its common stock to 47 "accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D. The purchase price was $5.00 per share. The Company raised a net total of $994,599 after commissions and other associated expenses with the private placement. As part of the private placement, one of the bridge loan lenders discussed above who made his loan in early 2003 agreed to convert his $25,000 note into 5,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share and waived interest in the note. In addition, a second bridge lender agreed to convert $75,000 of the principal amount and $15,000 of accrued interest due him for 18,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share, waiving $3,466 of additional accrued interest and modifying the terms and due date of his note. Also, another bridge note loan lender forgave $5,000 of the principal amount of his bridge loan and $2,644 of accrued interest in exchange for a modification of the loan's due date.

GunnAllen Financial, Inc. ("GunnAllen") acted as the non-exclusive selling agent in connection with sales of the shares in the private placement. The Company granted GunnAllen an option to purchase 40,000 shares of Company common stock at $5.00 per share, which option was fully vested and exercisable for five years.

During October 2003, the Company borrowed $50,000 from an unrelated party, which was evidenced by a promissory note. As part of the consideration for the loan, the Company granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share, which option was fully vested and exercisable for five years. The promissory note provided for interest at 18% per annum and was due 30 days after the loan was funded. The note further provided that, in event the note was not duly paid, the holder of note was entitled to (i) an additional option to purchase 20,000 shares of Company common stock at $5.00 per share (with this option having the same terms as the option for 2,000 shares) and (ii) convert the note into shares of Company common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. This note was not paid when due so, in December 2003, the holder was granted the second option to purchase 20,000 shares of Company common stock at $5.00 per share, and in February 2004, the note was converted into 20,000 shares of common stock.

In December 2003, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from another unrelated party. The terms of this note were the same as the loan made by the Company in October 2003. An option to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share was granted as partial consideration for this loan. When this $50,000 was not paid in January 2004 the note holder was granted a second option to purchase 20,000 shares of Company common stock at $5.00 per share, and in February 2004 the note was converted into 20,000 shares of common stock.

During January 2004, additional debt financing was provided to the Company by eight unrelated parties, in the total principal amount of $205,000. This financing was evidenced by promissory notes which had the same terms and conditions as the two above discussed promissory notes executed in October and December 2003. In connection with this financing, the Company granted options to

II-4

purchase a total of 16,200 shares of Company common stock at $2.50 per share. When the January notes were not paid when due, options to purchase an additional 31,000 shares of Company common stock at $2.50 per share were granted to the various note holders, and in February 2004 the notes were all converted into a total of 82,000 shares of Company common stock.

On April 15, 2004, the Company completed the second and final closing of a best efforts, $2.3 million minimum, private placement of Company common stock. This private placement commenced in March of 2004 and the first closing occurred on March 31, 2004. A total of 1,665,290 shares of Company common stock were sold in the private placement for the aggregate purchase price of $2,497,925. MDB Capital Group LLC ("MDB") acted as finder in the private placement. As compensation to MDB, the Company issued warrants to MDB and its affiliates to acquire 434,424 shares of Company common stock at $1.50 per share, exercisable through April 30, 2009. In addition, as part of the private placement, Sanford D. Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer, and Warren Cohen, a director, converted debt owed by the Company to each of them into 375,783 shares and 1,015,304 shares, respectively, of Company common stock as discussed above. In addition, the Company issued 66,667 shares of our common stock, valued at $1.50 per share, to a creditor for $100,000 of previously accrued services.

In April 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $1.50 per share, as a bonus to its chief financial officer. In April 2004, the Company also issued 2,000 shares of its common stock valued at $1.50 per share to its outside video production firm in exchange for services rendered. Both of these persons had access to full information concerning the Company and were "accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D.

In July 2004, the Company issued a total of 30,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $1.50 per share, to two of the Company's professional athlete endorsers for endorsement of the Company's products. Both of these persons had access to full information concerning the Company and were "accredited investors' as defined in Regulation D.

In addition, since June 20, 2003, the Company has issued options to purchase its common stock as set forth below. The persons to whom the shares were issued had access to full information concerning the Company and represented that they acquired the shares for their own account and not for the purpose of distribution.

Item 28. Undertakings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned 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 undersigned 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned will:

(1) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the undersigned under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Securities and Exchange Commission declared it effective.

(2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
