SCHEDULE 13D
|
|
|
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) of The
Stephan Co., a Florida corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office and mailing
address of the Issuer is 1850 West McNab Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This Schedule 13D is jointly filed by Value Fund Advisors, LLC (“VFA”), Boston Avenue Capital, LLC
(“Boston”), Yorktown Avenue Capital, LLC (“Yorktown”), and Charles M. Gillman (“Gillman”) (the
“Reporting Persons”). VFA is the general manager of Boston and Yorktown. Gillman is the manager of
VFA.
The principal business office address for each of the Reporting Persons is 15 East 5th Street,
Suite 2660, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.
The principal business of Boston and Yorktown is business investment. The principal business of VFA
is investment management. The principal occupation of Gillman is managing various investment
entities.
None of the entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the past five years, been
convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
VFA, Boston and Yorktown are organized under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. Gillman is a U.S.
citizen.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
As of January 15, 2008, Boston and Yorktown have invested $2,179,799 (including commissions and
fees) in the Common Stock. The source of these funds was the working capital of Boston and
Yorktown.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the
Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of
acquiring control of the Issuer.
Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common
Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to
time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending
upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions,
other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, and/or other
investment considerations.
|
|
|
|
|
| CUSIP NO. 858603103
|
|
SCHEDULE 13D
|
|
|
Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may
engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the
Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more
representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations.
The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the following: the
acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate
transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the
Issuer.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons
has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in
paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting
Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change
their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) According to the Issuer’s latest Form 10QSB filed November 19, 2007, there were
4,389,781 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2007. Based on such
information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, Boston
directly owns 408,195 shares of Common Stock (approximately 9.3%) and Yorktown directly owns
376,305 shares of Common Stock (approximately 8.6%) of the Issuer. VFA, as general manager of
Boston and Yorktown, and Gillman, as manager of VFA, may also be deemed to beneficially own the
784,500 shares of Common Stock (approximately 17.9%) of the Issuer held by Boston and Yorktown.
As the manager of VFA, which serves as general manager to Boston and Yorktown, Gillman has sole
voting and investment power of the Common Stock held by Boston and Yorktown.
Although VFA and Gillman are joining in this Schedule as Reporting Persons, the filing of this
Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that either of them is, for any purpose, the
beneficial owner of the Common Stock held by Boston and Yorktown. Similarly, Boston and Yorktown
disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares held directly by the other.
c) During the past sixty days, Yorktown and Boston purchased shares of Common Stock in the open
market as follows:
