------
(a) The name of issuer as to whose securities this statement relates is
Homestore, Inc. (the "Issuer").
(b) The address of Issuer's principal place of business is 30700 Russell
Ranch Road, Westlake Village, CA 91362.
Item 2.
-------
(a-c) This statement is being filed by Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc., a
California corporation whose principal executive offices are located at One
Embarcadero Center, Suite 2310, San Francisco, California, 94111 ("Amerindo"),
Amerindo Investment Advisors, Inc., a Panama corporation, whose principal
executive offices are located at Edificio Sucre, Calle 48 Este, Bella Vista,
Apartado 6277, Panama 5, Panama ("Amerindo Panama"), the Amerindo Investment
Advisors Inc. Profit Sharing Plan, whose address is 399 Park Avenue, 22nd
Floor, New York, NY 10022 (the "Plan"), the Amerindo Advisors (UK) Limited
Retirement Benefits Scheme, whose address is 43 Grosvenor Street, London WIX
9PG England (the "Retirement Benefits Scheme"), Alberto W. Vilar, Gary A.
Tanaka, James P.F. Stableford, and Renata Le Port (sometimes hereinafter
collectively referred to as the"Reporting Persons"). Although this statement
is being made jointly by the Reporting Persons, each of them expressly
disaffirms membership in any group under Rule 13d-5 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise. Amerindo
and Amerindo Panama are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Advisor Entities."
Each of the Advisor Entities is an investment advisor, and all of the
subject securities have been purchased by the Advisor Entities (or, in the case
of securities held, by the Plan and the Retirement Benefits Scheme) in the
ordinary course of their respective businesses as investment advisors and not
with the purpose of effecting change or influencing the control of the issuer
or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such
purpose or effect, including any transaction subject to Rule 13d-3(b) under the
Exchange Act. Amerindo is registered as an investment advisor under the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. Messrs. Vilar and Tanaka are the
sole shareholders and directors of each of the Advisor Entities. Alberto W.
Vilar is sole trustee of the Plan, and Messrs. Alberto W. Vilar, Gary A.
Tanaka, James P.F. Stableford and Ms. Renata Le Port are joint trustees of the
Retirement Benefits Scheme (which are qualified employee benefit plans).
Because each of the Advisor Entities is obligated to act in the best interests
of its respective clients and in accordance with the respective mandates of
those clients, and because the trustee of the Plan and the trustees of the
Retirement Benefits Scheme are required to act in the best interest of the
beneficiaries thereof, there is no agreement between or among any of the
Reporting Persons to act together with respect to the issuer or its securities,
except that they may, from time to time and provided that transactions are
otherwise being effected at the same time, aggregate orders for client accounts
in order to receive more favorable trading terms.
(d-e) This statement is being filed as to the Common Stock of
Homestore, Inc., Cusip Number 437852106.
Item 3. If this statement is filed pursuant to Rules 13d-1(b), or 13d-2(b) or
------ (c), check whether the person filing is a:
(a-i) Inapplicable.
(j) This statement is being filed jointly by the Reporting Persons,
although each of them expressly disaffirms membership in any group under Rule
13d-5 under the Exchange Act.
Item 4. Ownership.
------ ---------
(a-c) The following table sets forth for each of the Advisor Entities and
for the Plan the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer
beneficially owned by such person as of December 31, 2004, and the percentage
which such shares constitute of the total number of shares outstanding, as
reflected on the Issuer's Form 10Q for the Quarter ended September 30, 2004,
unless based on more recent information obtained directly from the Issuer
(with beneficial ownership determined as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act, but with beneficial ownership being expressly disclaimed).
Messrs. Vilar and Tanaka, as the sole shareholders and directors of the
Advisor Entities, share with each other investment and dispositive power as
to all of the shares shown as owned by the Advisor Entities, who otherwise
have sole investment and dispositive power with respect thereto, except that
each client of the Advisor Entities has the unilateral right to terminate the
advisory agreement with the Advisor Entity in question on notice which
typically need not exceed 30 days. Alberto W. Vilar is sole trustee of the
Plan, and Messrs. Alberto W. Vilar, Gary A. Tanaka, James P.F.
Stableford and Ms. Renata LePort are joint trustees of the Retirement
Benefits Scheme.
