AUTHORIZATION OF A REVERSE SPLIT AND AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Company proposes to amend its Articles of Incorporation to reflect a fifteen for one reverse split of common shares.

The Board of Directors believes that the implementation of the Amendment will help to facilitate its future capital situations and enhance market value of the Company's common shares. The Company is not expected to experience a material tax consequence as a result of the Amendment.

We are asking shareholders to approve a pro-rata reverse split of our common stock, by which up to each fifteen shares would become one share. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share. The effective date of the reverse split will be thirty days following the date of the meeting. This is not a "going private" transaction, and no shareholders will be reduced to less than one share. This action will not have the effect of reducing our shareholders to less than 300. This requires an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to accomplish the reverse split.

We believe the recent per share price of the common stock has had a negative effect on the marketability of the existing shares, the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual stockholders, and it impairs the potential ability of the Company to raise capital by issuing new shares due to the low price.

We believe that reverse split will be advantageous to us and to all shareholders, because it may provide the opportunity for higher share prices based upon fewer shares. It is also a factor that most brokerage houses do not permit or favor lower-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts. Certain polices and practices of the securities industry may tend to discourage individual brokers within those firms from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Some of those polices and practices involve time-consuming procedures that make the handling of lower priced stocks economically unattractive. The brokerage commissions on the purchase or sale of lower priced stocks may also represent a higher percentage of the price than the brokerage commission on higher priced stocks.

Shareholders should note that, after the reverse split, the number of our authorized shares will remain unchanged, while the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Company will be reduced by the factor of the reverse,
i.e. up to one for fifteen shares. It is important to realize that the issuance of additional shares is in the discretion of the Board of Directors, in their best business judgment, and our shareholders will have no right to vote on future issuances of shares except in the event of a merger under Delaware law. This means that, effectively, our shareholders will have no ability or capacity to prevent dilution by the issuance of substantial amounts of additional shares for consideration that could be considerably less than what our existing shareholders paid for their shares. In many events, control of our Company could effectively be changed by issuances of shares without shareholder approval.

We have no plans as of date hereof, to issue any newly available shares. There are no pending private offerings of shares, nor are there any pending acquisitions for which shares may be contemplated to be issued.

As a general rule, potential investors who might consider making investments in our Company will refuse to do so when the Company has a large number of shares issued and outstanding with no equity. In other words, the "dilution" which new investors would suffer would discourage them from investing, as general rule of experience. A reduction in the total outstanding shares may, without any assurance, make our capitalization structure more attractive.

While our acceptability for ultimate listing on one of the NASDAQ markets or an exchange is presently remote, we believe that it is in the interests of our Company to adjust our capital structure in the direction of conformity with the NASDAQ structural requirements. At the current date, even with the proposed changes we would not meet NASDAQ criteria. NASDAQ requirements change constantly. There is no assurance that the proposed changes with meet NASDAQ requirements or any other exchange when, and if, we are otherwise qualified. There is no assurance that we will qualify for NASDAQ.

Once the reverse split has occurred, Management believes the Company may then be better structured to seek equity financing, because investors shy away from the very high dilution which would occur if an investment were made in the current structure. There is no assurance that the Company will have any success in seeking equity financing.
