INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
$.001 par value. Presently 7,210,539 such shares are issued and outstanding
(including 125,000 which are deemed issued and outstanding) and an
additional 5,479,661 shares have been reserved for options, warrants and
convertible debt. Of the 7,210,539 issued and outstanding, 4,419,373 are
restricted securities. All shares of Common Stock have equal voting rights
and, when validly issued and outstanding, have one vote per share in all
matters to be voted upon by shareholders. The shares of Common Stock have no
preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued
only as fully paid and non-assessable shares. Cumulative voting in the
election of directors is not allowed, which means that the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares represented at any meeting at which a
quorum is present will be able to elect all of the directors if they choose
to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not
be able to elect any directors. On liquidation of the Company, each
holder of Common Stock is entitled to receive a pro rata share of the
Company's assets available for distribution to Common Stock holders.
