           incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.

           We are authorized to issue 32,641,926 shares of preferred stock of
           which 11,041,926 are designated as Series A preferred stock,
           10,300,000 shares are designated as Series B preferred stock and
           4,583,334 are designated as Series C preferred stock. The Series A
           preferred stock, Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred
           stock are referred to in this Registration Statement collectively as
           the "Preferred Stock." As of March 31, 2000, 9,624,282 shares of
           Series A preferred stock (held by 20 holders of record), 10,043,814
           shares of Series B preferred Stock (held by approximately 5,000
           holders of record) and 3,511,111 shares of Series C preferred stock
           (held by one holder of record) were outstanding. In addition, as of
           March 31, 1999, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 1,075,833
           shares of Series A preferred stock and warrants and options to
           purchase 972,223 shares of Series C preferred stock.

           Each share of Preferred Stock bears dividends at the rate of 8% of
           the original purchase price per share per annum, payable when
           declared by the Board of Directors, and is also entitled to a
           dividend equal to any dividend paid to holders of common stock. To
           date, the Board of Directors has not declared any dividends on the
           Preferred Stock or common stock.

           Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any
           time by the holder of such share. All outstanding Preferred Stock of
           a particular series will be automatically converted into common stock
           upon the election of the holders of at least 50% of the outstanding
           shares of such series. In addition all outstanding Preferred Stock
           will be automatically converted into common stock upon the closing of
           a firmly underwritten public offering of our common stock pursuant to
           an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
           as amended if the price of the common stock in such offering is at
           least $7.00 per share and the gross cash proceeds to us are at least
           $15,000,000. The number of shares of common stock to which a holder
           is entitled upon conversion of a share of Preferred Stock is equal to
           the original purchase price of the share of Preferred Stock divided
           by the applicable conversion price. The conversion price is equal to
           the original purchase price, subject to adjustment for (i) stock
           dividends, splits, combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, and
           substitutions; (ii) reorganizations, mergers, consolidations and
           sales of assets; and (iii) sales of shares below the conversion
           price. Upon an optional conversion, we are required to pay the
           converting holder all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or
           not declared. Upon a mandatory conversion, all declared and unpaid
           dividends will be payable and all undeclared dividends will be
           canceled.

           The holders of at least 75% of the Series A preferred stock or the
           Series C preferred stock may require us to redeem all of the
           outstanding Series A preferred stock or Series C preferred stock, as
           the case may be, for a period of three years starting on the seventh
           anniversary of the earliest issue date of the Series A preferred
           stock or Series C preferred stock, for an amount equal to the
           original purchase price of such shares plus accrued and unpaid
           dividends.

           Subject to exceptions described in this paragraph, the Preferred
           Stock is voted equally with the shares of common stock as a single
           class with each holder of shares of Preferred Stock being entitled to
           a number of votes equal to the whole number of shares of common stock
           into which such holder's shares of Preferred Stock are then
           convertible. The holders of the Series A preferred stock, voting as a
           separate class, are entitled to elect two directors, the holders of
           our common stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect
           three directors and the holders of the Preferred Stock and the common
           stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect the remaining
           directors. The consent of the holders of at least 67% of the
           outstanding Series A preferred stock and Series C preferred stock,
           voting together as a single class, is required for certain actions,
           including the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, certain
           mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, changes in our line
           of business, appointment, termination or removal of our Chief
           Executive Officer, and our dissolution or liquidation.

           Upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of the Preferred
           Stock are entitled to receive an amount equal to the original
           purchase price of their shares plus 8% of such price per annum (less
           previously paid dividends) from the date of issuance before any
           payment is made to holders of common stock. After such payment, our
           remaining assets are to be distributed ratably to the holders of the
           Preferred Stock and the common stock. Certain consolidations,
           mergers, asset acquisitions and asset sales are treated as
           liquidations.

           We may not pay any dividends or make any other distributions on any
           stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, and we may not redeem or
           otherwise acquire for value any such junior stock, until all
           dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and set
           apart.

           There is no public market for the Preferred Stock although some
           banking institutions in Iceland have been making a market for
           privately negotiated transactions among non-U.S. persons in the
           Series B preferred stock. Our stock transfer records indicate that
           approximately 10 million shares of Series B preferred stock were
           transferred during 1999 in approximately 7,000 transactions and
           approximately 1.1 million shares of Series B preferred stock were
           transferred during January 2000 in approximately 2,700 transactions.
           The majority of these transactions had an Icelandic financial
           institution as one of the counterparties.
