This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule”) relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 40 Pequot Way, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.

 

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

(a)           This Schedule is being filed by Wattles Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Mark Wattles Enterprises, LLC) (“WCM”), and Mark J. Wattles (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).  Mr. Wattles is the sole member and manager of WCM and owns 100% of its membership interests.

 

(b)           The business address of both Mr. Wattles and WCM is 7945 W. Sahara #205, Las Vegas, Nevada 89117.

 

(c)           Mr. Wattles’ principal occupation is serving as President of WCM, which is primarily engaged in investing in public and private companies in the consumer products and retail sectors.  The Reporting Persons own 100% of Ultimate Acquisition Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“UAP”), which purchased the assets of 32 retail stores operated by Ultimate Electronics, Inc. in a public auction conducted pursuant to reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Mr. Wattles also serves as Chief Executive Officer of UAP.

 

(d)           During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e)           During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction making him or it 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.

 

(f)            Mr. Wattles is a citizen of the United States of America.

 

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

WCM acquired the shares of Common Stock described in this Schedule (the “Shares”) in a margin account pursuant to a standard brokerage agreement.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for investment purposes.  The Reporting Persons intend to continually evaluate and review the Issuer’s business affairs, financial position and future prospects, as well as conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions.  Based on such evaluation and review and other factors, the Reporting Persons will continue to consider various alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate in light of the

circumstances existing from time to time.  Such actions may involve the purchase of additional securities of the Issuer or, alternatively, may involve the sale of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons, in each case in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  Such actions may also include communicating with management, the board of directors and shareholders of the Issuer; seeking to acquire control of the Issuer through a merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, significant equity investment, exchange offer or otherwise; or such other actions as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate.

 

Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or its securities to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment considerations, market conditions and other factors.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) – (b)  As of August 8, 2005, WCM owned 2,377,689 shares of Common Stock.  According to the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, there were 24,599,242 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 10, 2005.  Based on the foregoing, WCM may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over, and therefore beneficial ownership of, approximately 9.7% of such issued and outstanding Common Stock.  Because Mr. Wattles owns all of the membership interests of WCM, he may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by WCM.

 

(c)           As of June 9, 2005, WCM owned 741,281 shares of Common Stock.  The following transactions were effected by WCM during the sixty days preceding August 8, 2005:
