Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Common Shares
of
Tice Technology, Inc.
6711 Tice Plaza
Knoxville, Tennessee 37918
Item 2. Identity and Background.
a) Name: William A. Tice
b) Business address: 6711 Tice Plaza
Knoxville, Tennessee 37918
c) Present principal occupation: President and Chief Executive
Officer of Tice Technology, Inc., 6711 Tice Plaza, Knoxville,
Tennessee 37918.
d) Criminal Convictions: No criminal convictions in the last five
years (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
e) Securities Proceedings: No judgments, decrees or final orders
enjoining further violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to federal or state securities laws or findings
any violations with respect to such laws.
f) Citizenship: United States.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The securities were acquired in a stock for stock exchange in which Tice
Engineering and Sales, Inc. ("TES") became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tice
Technology, Inc.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The purpose of the exchange of TES stock for stock of the issuer was to
form a holding company which would then issue shares to a closed investment
company. The closed-end investment company distributed most of the shares of
the issuer it received to its shareholders (primarily institutional investors)
creating a public company with a substantial shareholder base without having to
sell shares in a traditional initial public offering. Mr. Tice intends to give
a total of 75,000 Common Shares of Tice Technology, Inc. to his brother, sister,
two sons and daughter either outright or in trust.
Mr. Tice and other management of the issuer have discussed increasing the
number of directors to add an additional outside director. It is uncertain when
this would happen, but it is not expected to happen before the end of 1997.
