PROPOSAL 1
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK OF
THE COMPANY FROM 100,000,000 SHARES $0.001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE
TO 200,000,000 SHARES, $0.001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE
The Board of Directors of the Company, on March 1, 2000,
unanimously approved and recommended to the shareholders of the
Company at the special meeting of the Board of Directors, a
proposed amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
which would increase the Company's authorized shares from
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share to
200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The proposed amendment would revise the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to read as follows:
The total number of shares of Common
Stock which the Corporation shall have
authority to issue is Two Hundred Million
(200,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share.
The foregoing amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is
proposed for the reason that the Company has exhausted its
authorized shares of common stock and in order to raise
additional capital from the sale of common stock it must amend
its Articles of Incorporation and increase its authorized
capital.
