PROSPECTUS
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
707,911 Shares of Class A Common Stock
Material Technologies, Inc., ( "Matech 2" or the "Company") is distributing
707,911 shares of its Class A Common Stock (the "Shares") to 408 shareholders
of Material Technology, Inc. ("Matech 1") of record on July __ , 1997, pro
rata, one Share of Matech 2 for each share of Matech 1 held by each
shareholder. The distribution to Matech 1's shareholders is being made in
accordance with a February 17, 1997 Stock Purchase Agreement among Matech 1,
Montpilier Holdings, Inc., SecurFone America, Inc., ("SecurFone") and Robert
M. Bernstein, the Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder of both
Matech 1 and Matech 2. Under that agreement, immediately after the
distribution, the parties intend to effect a reverse merger of SecurFone into
Matech 1. The purpose of the distribution is to spin-off Matech 2 from
Matech 1 allowing Matech 1's shareholders to retain an interest in a different
high technology public company that is closer to realizing revenues and
profits and to retain an interest in Matech 1's business, while keeping that
business separate from SecurFone's new business. No one will receive any
proceeds from distribution of the Shares.
Material Technologies, Inc., is a development stage company requiring
approximately $5,000,000 to fund operations and complete development and
marketing of its two products. As the result of the Company's recurring
losses from operations, there is substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has an
accumulated deficit of $2,912,828 and $2,783 in cash. It has a net loss of
$140,378 in 1996 and $81,959 for the three months ending March 31, 1997.
Moreover, Robert M. Bernstein will retain overwhelming voting control of the
Company with 83.1% of the votes entitled to be cast by stockholders. The
stockholders receiving this distribution will have approximately 2% of the
votes entitled to be cast, Matech 1 will have 3%, and insiders and affiliates
other than Mr. Bernstein will control the remaining votes.
As the result of a teaming agreement with Southwest Research Institute to
provide services relating to a government research contract, the Company
expects to receive sufficient funds to operate until August 1998. Absent
additional funds within the next 18 months, however, the Company may go out
of business. If the Company fails, investors will lose their entire
investment. The Company has no products currently available for commercial
sale and is unlikely to have any such products for six to twelve months from
the date it receives additional capital, if that occurs. The Company is
seeking the required funding through (1) additional government grants, (2)
private financing, and (3) public financing. There can be no assurance of
obtaining the needed funds.
THE SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND ENTAIL A VERY
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. --SEE "VERY HIGH RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 3.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The date of this Prospectus is July __ , 1997
<PAGE>
The Company intends to furnish its stockholders annual reports containing
audited financial statements examined and reported upon by a certified public
accounting firm and quarterly reports for each of the first three quarters of
each fiscal year containing unaudited financial statements.
Prior to this distribution, there was no public market for any of the
Company's securities including the Class A Common Stock (the "Shares"). No
assurance can be given that any trading market for the Shares will develop or
that if such a market develops that such a market will continue. In the
absence of the Company obtaining the necessary funds to conduct its
operations beyond the next 18 months, the Company does not expect that any
trading market will be meaningful.
The Company may be reached at its principal executive offices as follows:

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND IS QUALIFIED IN
ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
RELATED NOTES APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. EACH PERSON RECEIVING
THE SHARES IS URGED TO READ THIS PROSPECTUS IN ITS ENTIRETY.
INTRODUCTION
Material Technologies, Inc. ("Matech 2" or the "Company") is in the business
of (1) developing for commercial exploitation the Fatigue Fuse, a patented
device designed to give early warning of metal fatigue in bridges, aerospace,
shipping, transportation, and other applications where such information is of
significance and (2) researching and developing the Electrochemical Fatigue
Sensor, a device which, if successfully developed, will indicate the fatigue
status of a metal structure at any time in its life without knowing the
structure's past history. The Company requires $5,000,000 to complete
development of these two products, pay overhead and debts, and market the
products. No funds, however, will be raised in connection with this
distribution. The Company has no specific plans to raise the necessary
$5,000,000. It has provided information to various investment bankers and
venture capitalists but no viable plan for raising the funds has been
initiated as of the date of this Prospectus. Prior to this offering, there
has been no public market for any of Matech 2's securities and no assurance
can be given that such a market will develop for its Class A Common Stock.
VERY HIGH RISK FACTORS
The securities being distributed involve a very high degree of risk. Very
high risk factors include, among others: Matech 2's (1) need for an
additional $5 million to complete development of its products and market
them, (2) absence of operating history, and (3) dependence on management. In
addition, technological changes could destroy the potential usefulness of the
Company's products, and there is substantial uncertainty regarding market
acceptance of its products. SEE, Very High Risk Factors, p. 3.
THE COMPANY
The Company is a development stage company which intends to complete testing
and developing the Fatigue Fuse, a patented device owned by the Company, and
the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor ("EFS"), a device invented at the
University of Pennsylvania. The Company holds an exclusive worldwide license
to develop and exploit the EFS. The Company was incorporated in the State of
Delaware on March 4, 1997. Its principal offices are located at Suite 707,
11661 San Vicente Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90049.
Matech 2 was formed as a subsidiary of Matech 1 to receive the assets and
liabilities of Matech 1 in connection with a February 17, 1997 Stock Purchase
Agreement among Matech 1, Montpilier Holdings, Inc., SecurFone America, Inc.,
("SecurFone") and Robert M. Bernstein, the Chief Executive Officer and
controlling shareholder of both Matech 1 and Matech 2. Under that agreement,
the parties intend to effect a reverse merger of SecurFone into Matech 1
immediately after this distribution. In March 1997, in accordance with the
Stock Purchase Agreement, Matech 1's Board
1
<PAGE>
of Directors authorized assignment of all of its assets and liabilities to
the Company. The $172,418 in assets included four patents and liabilities
totaling $493,146 as of March 31, 1997.
In exchange for Matech 1's business, on March 9, 1997, the Company authorized
5,560,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to be issued to Matech 1 who is
distributing 5,000,000 shares to its shareholders of record as of the date of
this Prospectus. The distribution keeps Matech 1's former business, now the
Company's business, separate from SecurFone's business that Matech 1 will
enter into on closing the reverse merger. Accordingly, 408 public
shareholders of record of Matech 1 as of the date of this Prospectus are
receiving 707,911 shares of the Company's Class A Common stock, approximately
12.7%. Control persons and affiliates will own 4,292,089 shares,
approximately 77.2%, with Robert M. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company receiving 2,876,130 of these shares, approximately
51.7%. Matech 1 will retain 560,000 shares, approximately 10.1% of the
outstanding shares.
THE BUSINESS
On July __, 1997, Matech 1 assigned all of its assets and liabilities to the
Company including four patents, with all related know-how, on a device known
as the Fatigue Fuse and its license agreement with the University of
Pennsylvania to exploit the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor ("EFS"). Although
the Company believes the Fatigue Fuse is in its final stage of testing and
development, no commercial application has been arranged to date and no
assurance can be given that the Company will successfully market it. The
Company requires $5,000,000 to complete development and marketing of its
products including paying overhead and accrued debts. It requires
approximately $2,000,000 to finish testing and developing the Fatigue Fuse
and to commercially produce and market it. The Company estimates that
approximately $2,875,000 will be required to complete research and
development of the EFS. SEE, Plan of Operations.
The Company has a teaming agreement with Southwest Research Institute
("SWRI") and the University of Pennsylvania (collectively the "Team"). On
February 25, 1997, the U.S. Air Force awarded the Team a $2.5 million Phase I
contract to "determine the feasibility of [the Company's EFS] to improve the
United State Air Force capability to perform durability assessments of military
aircraft, including both air frames and engines through the application of EFS
to specific military aircraft alloys." The Company is a subcontractor to SWRI
and will receive approximately $550,000 for which the Company will perform
certain technical tasks in accordance with its expertise.
The Company is seeking additional funding through (1) additional government
grants, (2) private financing, and (3) public financing to finish development
of its Fatigue Fuse and the EFS. If all required funds were received today,
the Company estimates that six to twelve months would be required to bring
the Fatigue Fuse to market and two years would be required to bring the EFS
to market. The Company will expend monies it receives from any financing as
they are received. Therefore, the time necessary to bring each of these
products to market will be lengthened as the Company is required to stretch
out and complete work depending on the availability of funds. No assurance
can be given that all or part of these funds will be raised. Assuming the
products are successfully tested and developed, however, competition or other
significant risks may prevent the Company from successfully marketing one or
both of these products.

THE DISTRIBUTION
SECURITIES DISTRIBUTED: 707,911 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of the
date of this Prospectus, one share of Matech 2's Class A Common Stock will be
distributed for each share of Matech 1 Class A Common Stock owned on the
record date which will be the date of this Prospectus. Within two weeks after
the date of this Prospectus, which will be the effective date of the spin-off
of Matech 2 from Matech 1, stock certificates in Matech 2 will be mailed to
shareholders. No shareholder action is required. After the distribution,
Matech 1 will reverse split its 5,000,000 outstanding shares, 1 for 10,
leaving approximately 500,000 shares outstanding. Fractional shares will be
rounded up. Thus, stockholders owning less than ten Matech 1 shares will
still receive one share of Matech 1 in the reverse split.
It is management's understanding that the distribution will be a taxable
dividend to Matech 1's shareholders. Matech 1 shareholders will be required
to include in their taxable ordinary income for the taxable year in which the
distribution is received, the fair market value of the Company's Stock
distributed to them. The Company's Board of Directors has determined that
the value of its Common Stock is $.001 per share. This value was determined
due to the lack of marketability of the Company's stock, as well as the
Company's negative net worth and its predecessors' history of accumulated
losses. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") or other taxing agency will not assert a higher value, resulting
in greater tax liability to Matech 1's shareholders as a result of this
distribution.
COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING
BEFORE AND AFTER THIS DISTRIBUTION: 5,560,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
and 60,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.
WARRANTS OUTSTANDING:
BEFORE AND AFTER THIS DISTRIBUTION: 1,700,000 Warrants each to purchase one
share of Class A Common Stock for $.50 per share until August 22, 1999.
(Note 12 a to Financial Statements.)
VERY HIGH RISK FACTORS
THE SHARES BEING DISTRIBUTED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND ARE SUBJECT TO
MANY SIGNIFICANT RISKS.
CESSATION OF THE COMPANY AS A GOING CONCERN
The Company's independent auditor issued an opinion that the recurring losses
from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The Company may have to cease operations and go
out of business if it does not raise sufficient additional capital. The
Company's business sustained operating losses on a consolidated basis
totaling $2,832,869 from inception through December 31, 1996, and $2,912,828
through March 31, 1997. The Company has no current product to market and
must rely on loans and investment capital to meet its
3
<PAGE>
current obligations and continue operations. If necessary funds are not
raised, Management will be forced to discontinue operating and liquidate the
Company. Most of the Company's liabilities are contingent on raising funds
or selling Fatigue Fuses or Electrochemical Fatigue Sensors. No lenders will
be required to consent to additional financings. The Company was in default
on an agreement with the University of Pennsylvania, but that default is
expected to be cured with a modification agreement that has been negotiated
with the University. The Company is in default on a $25,000 loan from
Sherman Baker, but expects to obtain an extension or pay off that loan. Mr.
Baker has not given notice of default.
NO OPERATING HISTORY
The Company has no established history of business operations, has not
generated any sales revenue, and is in the early stage of development.
NO ASSURANCE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT; MARKET UNCERTAINTY
The Company's products are in the research, development, and testing stage.
Unexpected problems, technological or specifications changes (1) may make the
technologies obsolete, (2) may affect the products' overall feasibility, or
(3) may delay completion and increase costs of research, development, and
testing. The time required to bring one or both products to market is
uncertain. Market acceptance cannot be determined until product development
is complete.
LIMITED CURRENT ABILITY TO MARKET PRODUCTS
The Company's operating results will depend on its ability to market its
products. Its present marketing capability is limited to contacts of its
officers, directors, and consultants and is unproved. It has yet to
establish a direct sales force or distribution network. Failure to put into
place an experienced and skillful marketing infra-structure, in a timely
manner, could have a materially adverse impact upon its ability to bring its
products to market and continue operating.
LACK OF EMPLOYEES
The Company has only three (3) employees, its Robert M. Bernstein, President,
John Goodman, a part-time engineer, and a secretary. John Goodman recently
returned as the Company's chief engineer after a two year hiatus while the
Company sought funding. There is a substantial risk that the Company may not
have funds to hire additional employees that may be needed to complete the
development and marketing of its products.
DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS AND ADVISORS
The Company's success largely depends on the performance of its President and
Chief Executive Officer, Robert M. Bernstein, its consultants, and advisors.
Failure to attract and retain key consultants, advisors, and employees with
necessary skills could have a materially adverse impact on the Company's
ability to bring its products to market and continue operating. The Company
has an Advisory Board, the members of which serve without compensation. The
Company intends to issue
4
<PAGE>
these members 18,000 shares of Class A Common Stock each, if and when the
Company obtains substantial funding but has no obligation to do so. The
Company has no contracts with its advisors or any consultants. The Company's
advisors have advised the Company's President for more than five years
without compensation other than common stock that they received more than
five years ago. Each advisor has an area of expertise based on his
background. For example, Alexander Adelson personally holds 64 patents and
has advised the Company with respect to applying for and maintaining its
patents. Others have extensive experience with aircraft, bridges, and metal
fatigue technology. SEE, "Advisory Board", INFRA. To date these advisors
have been willing to provide advice based on their expertise when needed on
an ad hoc basis generally consisting of telephone conferences ranging from
once a month to several times in a week. There is a risk that these advisors
will no longer be willing to advise the Company without compensation and that
the Company will not have the funds to retain them. Loss of these advisors
would seriously impair the Company's ability to develop and market its
products.
COMPETITION FROM OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
The metal fatigue measuring industry has significant competition. Other
technologies exist which indicate the presence of metal fatigue damage.
Single cracks larger than a certain minimum size can be found by
nondestructive inspection methods such as dye penetrant, radiography, eddy
current, acoustic emission, and ultrasonics. Tracking of load and strain
history, for subsequent estimation of fatigue damage by computer processing,
is possible with recording instruments such as strain gauges and counting
accelerometers. These methods have been in use for up to 40 years and offer
the advantage that they have been accepted in the marketplace, whereas the
Company's products will remain largely unproved for some currently
indeterminable time. Other companies with greater financial and technical
resources and larger marketing organizations than the Company pose a
potential threat if they commence competing in the Company's market segment.
The Company is unaware of any other companies developing technology similar
to the Company's technology and its patents protect its unique technologies.
On the other hand, companies marketing alternative technologies include
Magnaflux Corporation, Kraut-kremer-Branson, Dunegan-Endevco, and
MicroMeasurements. These companies have more substantial assets, greater
experience, more human and other resources than the Company, including but
not limited to established distribution channels and an established customer
base. The familiarity and loyalty to these technologies may be difficult to
dislodge. SEE, "Description of Technologies" and "Competition".
PATENT PROTECTION MAY BE INADEQUATE
The Company relies on patents to protect its interests in its products. In
the event of a patent infringement, the costs to the Company to enforce its
rights may be substantial whether or not enforcement is successful.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient
funds to attempt to protect its patents from infringement.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF PATENTS TO SECURED LENDERS
The Company's patents are encumbered by certain liabilities as described
under the heading, "Description of Technologies" and "Business". If the
Company fails to discharge its obligations
5
<PAGE>
under those liabilities, it may lose its interests in the patents or certain
rights to exploit the technology to certain lenders including Robert M.
Bernstein, a principal shareholder, Director and Chief Executive Officer.
See "Management - Certain Transactions." The Company is not in default on
any of its indebtedness secured by patents or out of compliance with any
covenants of such indebtedness. Most of the Company's liabilities are
contingent on raising funds or selling Fatigue Fuses or Electrochemical
Fatigue Sensors. No lenders will be required to consent to additional
financings through indebtedness. The Company was in default on its agreement
with the University of Pennsylvania, but that default is being cured with a
modification agreement.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING; LIKELY NEGATIVE CASH FLOW
If the Company fails to raise additional funds necessary for research,
development, and testing from either government grants, sale of securities,
borrowings, or other sources, it will not have a product for a potential
market and stockholders will have no possibility of any financial return or
economic benefit from their ownership of shares. Even if the necessary
$5,000,000 is raised and research, development, and testing is completed, no
assurance can be given that the results will establish that the products will
be marketable. Moreover, no assurance can be given that the products can be
produced at a cost which will make it possible to market them at a
commercially feasible price. The Company is likely to have negative cash
flow through at least March 31, 1998. Over the next 24 months, $5,000,000 is
required to complete research and development of both products and market
them. If the Company does not successfully raise these funds, it may be
compelled to halt all operations resulting in complete loss of share value.
VERY SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
If the Company raises funds through a securities offering, the shares being
distributed may be subject to very substantial dilution of voting control and
percentage ownership of the Company.
NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR SHARES; SALES OF COMMON STOCK
The failure to develop a public market for the shares of the Company could
have a significant adverse impact on the Company's ability to obtain
financing in the future. The 707,911 shares of common stock being
distributed to Matech 1 shareholders may be resold by those shareholders.
The fact that these shares are eligible for sale could adversely affect the
Company's ability to sell Shares in future financings by means of a public
offering of shares, since any potential underwriter would have to be
concerned about shareholders offering shares of the Company's stock for sale
at prices lower than that at which an underwriter might offer such stock.
These shares may be immediately sold if a public market develops and the
effect of having these shares eligible for sale in any market cannot be
determined, but may be depressive.
Presently there are no market makers in the Company's stock and thus no
public market for the purchase and sale of the Company's stock. The Company
intends to encourage trading of the Shares on the National Association of
Securities Dealer's Bulletin Board. The Company cannot predict the prices at
which the Shares may trade, if at all. Over the last year, Matech 1's Class
A Common Stock has been quoted and traded at prices ranging from $2.50 per
share to $5.37 per share with 4 market makers. It is likely that any
substantial selling into the market would cause a
6
<PAGE>
substantial decrease in the quoted price of these shares because of the thin
trading market. Matech 1's trading volume ranged from 2,800 shares in all of
October 1996 to 90,300 shares in December 1996 after Matech 1 announced the
signing a Letter of Intent with SecurFone America, Inc. for the reverse
merger. At that time, the price increased from $2.50 per share to $4.73 per
share on January 6, 1997. As this price reflected the market's view of the
reverse merger as well as supply and demand, the Shares being distributed are
likely to trade, if at all, substantially below that price.
IMPEDIMENTS TO OBTAINING ADDITIONAL FINANCING
Under modified agreements with the University of Pennsylvania and an
agreement with an unrelated third party, Stephen Forrest Beck, a Los Angeles
investment banker, the Company must pay to them a percentage of amounts
raised from financing other than from government contracts. The Company must
pay the University 30% of any such financing up to $200,000 and pay Mr. Beck
12.5% of the first $1,000,000 raised and 15% of any amount over $1,000,000
until $375,000 is paid. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay
royalties totaling 37% on revenues received from sale of the Fatigue Fuse and
10% of revenues received from sale of the EFS. These commitments are likely
to increase the difficulty in finding third party financing. Underwriters
and other financing sources are less likely to agree to finance the Company's
research and development if these amounts must be paid out rather than used
for additional research and development. SEE, Notes 6, 10 f, and 10 g to the
Financial Statements and "Agreements and Royalty Obligations".
SALARY BENEFIT TO MR. BERNSTEIN FROM FUTURE FINANCING
As of March 31, 1997, the Company was indebted to Robert M. Bernstein in the
amount of $45,000 for accrued salary. If the Company raises additional
funds, it will retire all or part of this debt to Mr. Bernstein. Subject to
approval by the Board of Directors, the Company intends to enter into an
employment agreement with Mr. Bernstein, commencing the first full month
after it raises at least $500,000 at the rate of $200,000 per year. As a
result, Mr. Bernstein is likely to derive a substantial PERSONAL benefit if
the Company obtains additional financing.
SUBSTANTIAL ROYALTY OBLIGATIONS
Over the years, to finance development of the Fatigue Fuse and
Electrochemical Sensor, the Company's predecessors sold substantial royalty
rights to others. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company was
obligated to pay royalties to others totaling 37% of revenues from sales of
its Fatigue Fuse and 10% of revenues from sales of its EFS. If these
products are manufactured and sold, these royalty obligations will
substantially lower the funds available to the Company from revenues. See,
Note 10g to the Financial Statements.
NO DIVIDENDS LIKELY
The Company has never paid any dividends and will not pay dividends for the
foreseeable future.
RISK OF NEW PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY
7
<PAGE>
The manufacturing and marketing of the Company's products which incorporate
new technology, has inherent risk. It is uncertain how each product will
operate over time and under various conditions of use. Even if one or both
products are successfully developed, manufactured, and marketed, warranty or
product liability, or lack of market acceptance due to product failure or
failure to meet expectations, could prevent the Company from becoming
profitable. Developing new technologies for manufacture is frequently
subject to unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and complications and, in some
cases, such development cannot be accomplished.
ROBERT M. BERNSTEIN'S CONTINUING CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Mr. Bernstein owns 60,000 shares of Class B stock, each of which has 200
votes per share and will also own 2,876,130 shares of the Company's Class A
common stock representing 51.7% of such shares. Thus, in any shareholder
vote, Mr. Bernstein has 14,936,130 votes out of a possible 17,910,015 votes
equal to 83.1% voting control of the Company. Mr. Bernstein overwhelmingly
controls the Company's direction and management. The Company's Bylaws do
provide for cumulative voting. Nevertheless, a minority shareholder will have
no control over management and probably will be unable to elect any directors.
ROBERT M. BERNSTEIN'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Mr. Bernstein controls the Company as majority stockholder, President, Chief
Financial Officer, and Chairman of the Board. He has conflicts of interest
as follows: (1) he received 2,876,130 shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock as a result of (a) converting a convertible note into 580,000 shares
and (b) Matech 1 deciding to issue him an additional 1,049,454 shares in
Matech 1 plus 450,000 shares in Matech 2 in satisfaction of his $372,000 of
accrued salary as of December 31, 1996. These shares increased his
percentage of the business from 36.5% to 51.7%; (2) the Company owes him
$12,846 plus accrued salary of $45,000 through March 31, 1997. If the Company
raises sufficient funds, he will be paid these amounts; (3) he may receive a
future salary of $200,000 per year; and (4) he has a lien on the Company's
patents giving him the right to foreclose on them if loans he made to the
Company are not repaid. Mr. Bernstein's right to foreclose means that, if
the Company fails, he could potentially profit by gaining personal control
its technology. On the other hand, as a director, officer, and controlling
shareholder, Mr. Bernstein owes a fiduciary duty to the Company and its
shareholders to act in the Company's and shareholders best interests. (5)
Mr. Bernstein will enter into an agreement with SecurFone to provide
consulting services for 18 months following closing of the reverse merger.
SecurFone will pay Mr. Bernstein $5,000 upon closing the transaction. In
addition, for five years from the date of the closing, Mr. Bernstein will be
entitled to receive certain stock options of SecurFone, nonexercisable for
one year from the date of issue.
IMPEDIMENTS TO RESALE FROM PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations generally define
"Penny Stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined)
less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. For transactions covered by these rules, the
broker dealer must make a delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure
schedule
8
<PAGE>
prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker dealer and
registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and, if the
broker dealer is the sole market maker, the broker dealer must disclose this
fact and the broker dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally,
monthly statements must be sent out disclosing recent price information for
the penny stock held in the customer's account and information on a limited
market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "Penny Stock" rules may restrict
the ability of broker dealers to sell the Company's securities and may affect
the ability of stockholders to sell the Company's securities in the secondary
market.
POSSIBLE TAX LIABILITY OF THE DISTRIBUTION
It is management's understanding that the distribution will be a taxable
dividend to Matech 1's shareholders. Matech 1 shareholders will be required
to include in their taxable ordinary income for the taxable year in which the
distribution is received, the fair market value of the Company's Stock
distributed to them. The Company's Board of Directors has determined that
the value of its Common Stock is $.001 per share. This value was determined
due to the lack of marketability of the Company's stock, as well as the
Company's negative net worth and its predecessors' history of accumulated
losses. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") or other taxing agency will not assert a higher value, resulting
in greater tax liability to Matech 1's shareholders as a result of this
distribution.
RIGHTS OF TENSIODYNE CORPORATION AS CLASS B PREFERRED STOCKHOLDER
Fifteen (15) shares of Class B Preferred Stock have been issued to Tensiodyne
Corporation in exchange for canceling its 15 Class B Preferred shares in
Matech 1. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, Tensiodyne as holder of Class B
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive $10,000 per share as a
liquidation preference or a total of $150,000. This liquidation preference
is senior to liquidation rights of all other classes of stock except the
Class A Preferred's liquidation rights. This provision may have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. In addition, after
January 31, 2002, Tensiodyne will have the option to redeem its shares at any
time for $150,000. In addition, Tensiodyne as a holder of Class B Preferred
Stock, has the right to receive cash dividends, which are determined pursuant
to a formula in the Certificate of Designation. That formula reads as
follows: "Each time a cash dividend is paid on the Common Stock there shall
also be paid with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Preferred
Stock an amount determined by multiplying the aggregate amount of the
dividend paid with respect to the Common Stock by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which is 3,214,480 and (ii) the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock on which the dividend was paid, and (x)
multiplying the resulting product by thirty percent (30%) and then (y)
dividing the resulting product by five hundred and ten (510)."
CAPITALIZATION
The following sets forth the Company's pro forma capitalization as of March
31, 1997, as if the transfer of assets and liabilities from Matech 1 to the
Company had taken place on that date.

DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company and its predecessors have never paid cash dividends. Management
does not intend to pay dividends in the near future and any dividends paid
will depend on the Company's future earnings and working capital
requirements. Currently, there are no contractual restrictions placed on the
Company in terms of declaring and paying dividends.
DILUTION
There will be no dilution of stockholder equity from this distribution.
There was, however, a substantial dilution of stockholder's percentage
interest in the Company's business as a result of Matech 1 issuing stock
in relation to the Stock Purchase Agreement. See, "Stock Purchase Agreement"
for a schedule of shares issued. Prior to Matech 1 entering into the Stock
Purchase Agreement on February 17, 1997, there were 2,580,546 shares of
Matech 1's Class A Common Stock outstanding with 427,911 shares in the hands
of public shareholders representing 16.6% of the outstanding shares. As a
result of issuing shares in connection with this transaction, the Company now
has 5,560,000 shares outstanding. Accordingly, the percentage interest of
these public shareholders in the Company's business after this distribution
will decrease from 16.6% to 7.7% resulting in a 46.4% reduction in each
shareholders percentage interest in the Company's business. On the other
hand, each shareholder will also have a small percentage interest in
SecurFone America, Inc.
SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On March 9, 1997, the Company authorized issuance of 5,560,000 shares of its
Class A Common Stock to Matech 1, 60,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock
to Robert M. Bernstein, 350,000 shares of its Class A Convertible Preferred
Shares to Matech 1's Convertible Preferred Shareholders in exchange for their
Matech 1 Convertible Preferred, and 15 shares of its Class B Convertible
10
<PAGE>
Preferred Shares to Matech 1's Class B Convertible Preferred Shareholder,
Tensiodyne Corporation. In consideration for assuming all of Matech 1's
liabilities, the Company will receive all the assets of Matech 1 as of the
effective date of the exchange, July 31, 1997. The Company presents in its
financial statements the activity of Matech 1, as the Company continues
substantially in the same line of the business including all of Matech 1's
assets and liabilities. The selected financial data of the Company are
derived from the consolidated financial statements of Matech 1. The selected
financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with "Selected
Financial Data" and the Company's financial statements and notes thereto
contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.
BACKGROUND
The Company's predecessors were engaged in developing and testing the Fatigue
Fuse and developing the EFS. The majority of funds used in operations,
development and testing were raised through sales of future royalty interests
in the Company's products and private offerings of common and preferred stock.
The Company was formed on March 4, 1997, as a subsidiary of Matech 1, a
Delaware corporation. On March 9, 1997, in accordance with a February 17,
1997 Stock Purchase Agreement among Matech 1, Montpilier Holdings, Inc.,
SecurFone America, Inc., ("SecurFone") and Robert M. Bernstein, (the "Stock
Purchase Agreement") Matech 1 agreed to assign all its assets and liabilities
to the Company including all Patents and know-how relating to the Fatigue
Fuse and the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor in exchange for 5,560,000 shares
of the Company's Class A
11
<PAGE>
Common Stock. Matech 1 also agreed to distribute 5 million of these
5,560,000 shares to its shareholders thereby spinning off the Company. Upon
completing this distribution, Matech 1 will own 560,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock. From its inception through 1993, Tensiodyne
Corporation developed the Fatigue Fuse. In August 1993, Tensiodyne licensed
the rights to develop and exploit the EFS from the University of
Pennsylvania. In February 1994, Matech 1 acquired all of the assets and
liabilities of Tensiodyne in a reorganization that resulted in Matech 1
distributing shares to Tensiodyne' shareholders in January 1996 as part of
transactions similar to the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement.
The following discussion of results of operations, capital resources, and
liquidity pertains to the Company's consolidated activity for the three years
ended December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1995, AND
1996, AND THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1997 AS COMPARED WITH 1996.
Revenues
The Company's predecessors did not generate any significant revenues in 1994,
1995, or 1996 or the three months ended March 31, 1997. Revenue generated
during the first quarter of 1996 consisted of interest of $507 which accrued
on a note and $9,656 on the sale of Tensiodyne Corp. common stock. Revenue
generated during the first quarter of 1997 consisted of $4,555 for research
and development under the Company's subcontract with Southwest Research
Institute and $1,135 for expense reimbursement under that contract. In 1996,
Matech 1 received $12,275 in expense reimbursements, $2,427 as interest
income, and $17,750 from the sale of 50,000 shares of Tensiodyne Corporation
stock. In 1995, Matech 1 generated interest income of $1,928 and $4,375 of
miscellaneous income. In 1994 Matech 1 generated interest income of $1,785.
Costs and Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company spent $4,555 on
research and development reflecting the start up of its efforts in connection
with the Southwest Research Institute contract. In 1996, research and
development costs (pertaining to testing) were $699 compared to $15,104 in
1995, $83,360 in 1994, and $330,112 in 1993. In 1993, funds were available
for development. The amount spent in development costs is directly related
to available funds. In 1996, $10,000 was paid to the University of
Pennsylvania to reimburse it for costs related to maintaining patents for the
EFS. The remaining $700 was for testing the Fatigue Fuse. In 1995, the
Company spent $12,359 for testing the Fatigue Fuse and spent the remainder
for consulting fees of $2,745 related to that testing. In 1994, the majority
of research and development costs was the salary of Matech 1's in-house
engineer totaling $71,096 and testing costs of $7,263. In 1993, research and
development costs included $188,495, which is the present value of the
Company's obligation to sponsor the development of the EFS with the
University of Pennsylvania. Also included in research and development for
1993 is the salary of the Company's engineer totaling $53,288 and testing
costs of $76,843.
12
<PAGE>
In the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, General and Administrative
costs were $150,541 and $83,094, respectively. The major costs incurred
during the first quarter of 1996 consisted of telephone of $4,813, rent of
$3,862, professional fees of $20,183, officer's salary of $105,000, and
office expense of $8,051. The major costs incurred during the first quarter
of 1997 consisted of officer's salary of $45,000, professional fees of
$21,643, telephone expenses of $2,800, office expense of $1,869, and rent of
$3,575.
General and administrative costs were $466,286, $188,745, and $295,488 for
1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. In 1996, the major costs were $200,000
of accrued salary to the Company's President, Robert M. Bernstein, and
$86,633 in legal fees to (a) represent the Company in contract negotiations
with SWRI which resulted in a teaming agreement and subcontract with SWRI
relating to a government research contract from the U. S. Air Force, (b)
complete Matech 1's January 1996 S-1 registration statement, (c) negotiate
the Stock Purchase Agreement, and (d) preserve the Company's patents. In
addition, in the Company's ongoing effort to raise funds, it incurred costs
of $34,632 for various consultants, $21,902 for travel and entertainment,
$21,766 for telephone, $17,526 for accounting, $29,017 for office rent and
$14,454 for office expenses.
The major costs incurred in 1995 were $56,170 related to attempts to find
funding for research and development including $28,298 for travel and
entertainment expenses, $15,362 in professional fees, and $12,510 in
professional services. In addition, $31,480 was incurred for costs related
to the S-1 Registration statement filed on January 19, 1996, 28,514 for
office rent, $20,696 for accounting fees, $19,751 for telephone and $10,871
for interest.
In 1994, the major costs were the President's salary of $72,000, which was
accrued and not paid, professional fees of $55,824, office related expense of
$32,206, travel costs of $36,991, rent of $16,169, and utilities of $ 23,023.
The professional fees were for negotiating and consummating the spin off of
Matech 1 and the audit of the 1993 financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's accountant has opined that the Company's financial condition
raises substantial doubt concerning the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. As a result of the Company's subcontract with SWRI related to
its contract with the U.S. Air Force which is providing $2.5 million for
research on the EFS technology and the possibility of an additional $2.5
million addition to that contract, it appears that the Company will have
sufficient funds to continue operating at least through August 1998.
As reflected in the numbers below, over the past three years, to continue
seeking capital and to maintain its patents, the Company's predecessor was
totally dependent on the willingness of the Company's President, Mr.
Bernstein, and long time investors to loan the Company money or purchase
additional securities from the Company. Over the next 18 months, the Company
expects to receive approximately $550,000 from a subcontract with SWRI
relating to its research contract that the U.S. Air Force awarded to SWRI on
February 25, 1997. These funds, however, are not guaranteed but rather the
Company's best estimate based on SWRI's contract with the Air Force and the
Company's subcontract with SWRI. Moreover, these funds are only a beginning,
the Company estimates an additional $5,000,000 will have to be raised to
complete research and
13
<PAGE>
development and bring its products to market. Although, Mr. Bernstein
intends to continue to loan the Company funds as required to seek additional
financing, he is under no obligation to do so. The Company does not expect to
receive any additional material financing from its other long time investors.
Although the Company has provided information to various investment bankers
and venture capitalists in an effort to obtain financing, no specific plans
are under consideration. Any prediction of the likelihood or timing of
obtaining the required funding would be highly speculative. The Company's
ability to obtain such financing may depend on the results of the research
contract with SWRI which will not be evident for a year or more.
The Company expects to receive $120,000 from SecurFone America, Inc. under
the Stock Purchase Agreement which will provide the Company additional
working capital. The Company expects that its subcontract with SWRI to

BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Material Technologies, Inc., a development stage company, was incorporated in
the State of Delaware on March 4, 1997. The Company's principal offices are
located at 11661 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 707, Los Angeles, California
90049.
BACKGROUND
Prior to February 1994, Matech 1 was a majority-owned subsidiary of
Tensiodyne, a Delaware corporation ("Tensiodyne") and was named Tensiodyne
Scientific Corporation. Although in 1994 Tensiodyne Scientific Corporation
changed its name to Material Technology, Inc., to provide continuity
especially in its attempts to obtain government funding, the corporation
continued to do business as Tensiodyne Scientific Corporation. The Company
also does business under this name.
From approximately October 1983 until February 1994, Tensiodyne was engaged
in development for commercial exploitation of a device generally known as the
Fatigue Fuse, a device designed to give early warning of metal fatigue, where
such information is of significance. See "Description of Technologies." On
August 26, 1993, Tensiodyne entered into a license agreement with the
University of Pennsylvania whereby the University licensed to Tensiodyne the
right to develop and exploit the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor ("EFS"). On
December 20, 1993, Tensiodyne agreed to assign to Matech 1 all of
Tensiodyne's assets, including but not limited to the four patents pertaining
to the Fatigue Fuse and the license agreement with the University of
Pennsylvania, in exchange for the assumption of all of Tensiodyne's
liabilities. As a result of that agreement and reorganization, after
February, 1994, Matech 1 succeeded to all of the operations and liabilities
of Tensiodyne relating to the Fatigue Fuse and the EFS. On January 22, 1994,
Tensiodyne's board of directors resolved to transfer its assets and
liabilities to Matech 1 and distribute, to Tensiodyne's holders of record at
the close of business on February 1, 1994, one share of the Matech 1's Class
A Common Stock for each share of Tensiodyne Class A Common Stock. That
distribution was subsequently made pursuant to an S-1 registration statement
filed with the SEC effective on January 19, 1996.
From February 1994 to February 1997, Matech 1's primary activity was to
obtain financing to complete development of the Fatigue Fuse and to fund
research and development of the EFS. That effort resulted in a February 25,
1997, $2.5 million research contract between the United States Air Force and
Southwest Research Institute ("SWRI"). SWRI is subcontracting part of the
research to
15
<PAGE>
the Company under an August 23, 1996 Teaming Agreement between SWRI, Matech
1, and the University of Pennsylvania . The subcontract with SWRI will
provide the Company with operating funds to approximately August 1998. SEE,
"Development of Technologies", INFRA.
THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
As of February 17, 1997, Matech 1 entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
with Montpilier Holdings, Inc., ("MHI") SecurFone America, Inc.,
("SecurFone") and Robert M. Bernstein, the Chief Executive Officer and
controlling shareholder of both Matech 1 and Matech 2. Under that agreement,
the parties intend to effect a reverse merger of SecurFone into Matech 1
immediately after this distribution. Upon closing, SecurFone's shareholders
will acquire 90% of Matech 1's outstanding capital stock in exchange for 100%
of SecurFone's outstanding capital stock. Matech 1 also authorized issuance
of 2,319,454 shares of its Class A Common Stock so that the total number of
shares outstanding will increase from 2,680,546 shares to 5,000,000 shares on
closing the transaction as follows:

</TABLE>
(1) Under the agreement with Mr. Bernstein, upon closing the Stock Purchase
Agreement the Corporation will distribute an additional 450,000 shares of
Matech 2 Class A Common Stock to Mr. Bernstein for a total of 2,876,130
Matech 2 shares. 1,499,454 of these shares will be subject to forfeiture
if, within two (2) years, Mr. Bernstein leaves his positions as an officer
and director of Matech 2 other than as a result of death or disability.
After issuance of these shares, Robert M. Bernstein owned 53.3% of Matech 1's
outstanding Class A Common Stock; the Baker Group, a group of 15 long time
investors in the business, owned 883,768 shares representing 17.7% of Matech
1's outstanding Class A Common Stock; and C.
16
<PAGE>
Timothy Smoot Esq. owned 20,000 shares representing .004% of such outstanding
shares. Mr. Smoot will also receive 20,000 registered shares of Matech 2 in
this distribution.
The Company was incorporated on March 4, 1997, for this transaction. On
March 9, the Company's Board authorized the issuance of 5,560,000 shares of
its Class A Common Stock to Matech 1 in exchange for all of Matech 1's assets
and liabilities. It also issued (a) 60,000 shares of its Class B Common
Stock to Robert M. Bernstein in exchange for cancellation of his 60,000
shares of Class B Common Stock in Matech 1, (b) 350,000 shares of its Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock to the Baker Group in exchange for cancellation
of that group's 350,000 shares of preferred stock in Matech 1, (c) 15 shares
of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock to Tensiodyne Corporation in
exchange for cancellation of its preferred stock in Matech 1, and (d)
1,700,000 warrants to purchase 1,700,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock for $.50 per share in exchange for cancellation of like warrants
to purchase Matech 1's common stock. The rights, privileges, and
designations of the Company's Class B Common Stock, warrants, and its
preferred stock are the same as the corresponding Matech 1 securities except
that the redemption date of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock was
changed from January 31, 2004 to January 1, 2002.
On March 9, 1997, Matech 1's Board authorized the exchange of its assets and
liabilities for 5,560,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. That
transaction was approved by the majority of Matech 1's shareholders and an
information statement was mailed to Matech 1's shareholders who did not vote
on the transaction. The transaction took effect 20 days after that mailing.
Matech 1 also agreed to distribute 4,550,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock to Matech 1's shareholders in a ratio of one for one. This
public distribution is part of that distribution. Matech 1 retains 560,000
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock equal to 10.1% of the
outstanding shares. Matech 1 also agreed to pay two individuals, Irwin
Renneisen and David Jordan, 450,000 shares of Matech 1's Class A Common Stock
plus 10% of the cash received for initiating the SecurFone Transaction by
introducing the Company to SecurFone. These individuals, however will not
receive any Matech 2 shares as a result of receiving 450,000 shares of Matech
1.
After the distribution, Matech 1 will reverse split its 5,000,000 outstanding
shares, 1 for 10, leaving approximately 500,000 shares outstanding.
Fractional shares will be rounded up. Thus, stockholders owning less than
ten Matech 1 shares will still receive one share in the reverse split.
Matech 1 will then issue 4,500,000 new shares to SecurFone shareholders in
exchange for all of SecurFone's outstanding shares leaving Matech 1's present
shareholders with a 10% interest in SecurFone. SecurFone will pay the
Company $120,000 to cover expenses. Matech 1 will then change its name to
SecurFone. Accordingly, Matech 1's shareholders retain approximately 90% of
their interest in the Company's metal fatigue technologies business and own
10% of SecurFone's prepaid cellular and calling card business as well.
SecurFone is a start-up company principally engaged in the sale and licensing
of prepaid cellular phone services. It has been in the development stage
since its formation on May 20, 1996. SecurFone provides these services in
some markets and, in other markets, licenses its resources to unrelated third
parties. Generally these services include providing understanding of the
market and assistance in promotion and advertising.
17
<PAGE>
SecurFone's principal offices are in San Diego, California and its primary
network facilities are in Miami, Fl. The purpose of the distribution is to
spin-off Matech 2 from Matech 1 allowing Matech 1's shareholders to retain an
interest in Matech 1's business, while keeping that business separate from
SecurFone's new business.
The transfer of assets and liabilities to the Company and distribution of its
shares is designed to provide Matech 1's shareholders with an interest in
SecurFone's business while separating the two businesses which have distinct
missions and distinct financial, investment, and operating characteristics,
as well as different management teams. Maintaining the separation allows the
Company to adopt strategies and pursue objectives appropriate to its specific
business to be valued independently from SecurFone. The distribution enables
the Company's management to concentrate its attention and resources on
developing its Fatigue Fuse and Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor without regard
to the corporate and financial objectives and policies of SecurFone. The
distribution allows investors to evaluate better, in accordance with their
objectives and views, the different merits and outlooks of the Company and
SecurFone.
AGREEMENTS AND ROYALTY OBLIGATIONS
There are certain outstanding agreements pursuant to which the Company's
predecessors agreed to pay royalties or remuneration based upon revenues
derived from the commercial exploitation of the Fatigue Fuse and the EFS.
The Company has assumed these obligations.
On December 24, 1985, Tensiodyne entered into agreements with Tensiodyne
1985-I R&D Partnership to provide funding to research and develop the Fatigue
Fuse. These agreements were amended on October 9, 1989. Under these
agreements, the Company is obligated to pay the Partnership a 10% royalty on
future gross sales of the Fatigue Fuse limited to a return of the
Partnership's original investment of $912,500 plus interest at 6% per annum.
In the event that the Company ceases to be engaged in business, the
Partnership will have all rights to the Fatigue Fuse, and will pay a 15%
royalty to the Company. SEE, Note 10 a to the Financial Statements.
In addition, the Company's predecessors entered into an agreement with
Advanced Technology Center ("ATC") pursuant to which, for a grant of $45,000,
the Company must return an amount equal to the grant by means of a royalty
based on sales and sub license agreements. Ben Franklin Technology Center of
South Eastern Pennsylvania succeeded to this interest. The royalty
obligation is limited to the original advance and a return of 11% per annum.
As of December 31, 1996, this future royalty commitment was $119,336 compared
to $107,510 as of December 31, 1995. Payment of this obligation will be made
solely from Company sales and is secured by a security interest in and to
equipment used by the Company in developing its technology. SEE, Note 10 b
to the Financial Statements.
A similar agreement with the same entity was entered into May 4, 1987, under
which, in consideration for an additional grant of $63,775, ATC purchased a
royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sub licensing revenues. The
agreement was amended on August 2, 1987, and, as amended, the royalty cannot
exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of the advance plus a 26% annual rate of
return or, (2) total royalties earned for a term of 17 years. At December
31, 1995, and 1996,
18
<PAGE>
the total future royalty commitments, including the accumulated 26% annual
rate of return, was limited to approximately $440,265 and $555,734,
respectively. Payment of future royalties will be made solely from Company's
sales of the Fatigue Fuse and are secured by the Company's patents, products,
and accounts receivable related to the Fatigue Fuse only, the technology
developed with the funding. SEE, Note 10 c to the Financial Statements.
On June 27, 1991, Tensiodyne issued to Variety Investments, Ltd., and
Countryman Investments, Ltd. (hereinafter the "Issuees"), both of Vancouver,
British Columbia, a royalty in an amount equal to 20% of gross sales of a
joint venture named Tensiodyne Marketing, Inc., consisting of Tensiodyne,
Variety and Countryman. Variety and Countryman were to advance $400,000 to
Tensiodyne and additionally purchase a 2.5% royalty for $100,000. The
$100,000 was paid, however, the Issuees advanced only $360,017 and the
agreement was modified. Pursuant to the modified agreement, the $360,017 was
to be repaid solely from funds derived from the sale of equity received by
December 31, 1994, and the royalty was to be modified upon the issuance of
100,000 shares of the common stock of Tensiodyne. The obligation to Variety
and Countryman bears interest at the rate of 4.5% per annum. No portion of
this sum was repaid by December 31, 1994 as required; consequently, the
Issuees will receive, in the aggregate, a royalty interest in the amount of
16.2%. SEE, Note 10 d to the Financial Statements.
Under the February, 2, 1994 reorganization agreement, Tensiodyne was
obligated to provide $5,100,000 in financing to Matech 1. During 1994,
Matech 1 received $150,000 under this agreement in exchange for 7,560 shares
of its Class A Common Stock and 15 shares of redeemable Class B Preferred
Stock. The Class B Preferred stockholders had the right to redeem their
stock at $10,000 per share on January 31, 2004. In connection with the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Tensiodyne agreed to exchange its 15 Class B Preferred
shares in Matech 1 for $5,000 and 15 Class B preferred shares in the Company
with the same redemption rights except that Tensiodyne may redeem its shares
two years earlier on January 31, 2002.
Tensiodyne provided no further funding under its agreement to provide
$5,100,000 to Matech 1. As a result, Matech 1 sued Tensiodyne. On March 28,
1995, a settlement of that action was reached and Tensiodyne issued a total
of 6,375,000 shares of its common stock to Matech 1. The proceeds from the
sale of these shares are applied to reduce Tensiodyne's obligation under the
February 2, 1994 agreement. The balance owed is $4,950,000 plus accrued
interest at 7% per year. Matech 1 also received an additional 250,000 shares
of Tensiodyne upon signing the settlement agreement.
These Tensiodyne shares were transferred to the Company with all of Matech
1's other assets but have little or no value. Management believes that
Tensiodyne has insufficient capital to pay any of the amount owed and the
Company's Tensiodyne shares are restricted and subject to Rule 144 under the
Securities and Exchange Act. It thus appears highly unlikely that the
Company will receive any significant funds from this source. SEE, Note 10 e
to the Financial Statements.
On August 4, 1995, Matech 1 entered into an agreement with an unrelated third
party, Stephen Forrest Beck, to compensate him for providing the idea of
pursuing a government contract to fund development of the EFS. As amended on
February 7, 1997, the agreement requires the Company to issue him 2.5% of the
Company's outstanding Class A common stock as of the date the Company signs a
subcontract with SWRI, appoint him to the Company's Board of Directors, and
issue him a
19
<PAGE>
promissory note equal to 15% of the amount of SWRI's contract with the
government. The funds due on the note are to be paid only when such funds
are available to the Company from financing or revenues other than from a
government contract. Under this Agreement the Company must execute a
promissory note to pay this third party $375,000 plus interest at major bank
prime rate when such funds are available to the Company. Interest accrues
nine months after the government contract is executed, and is payable
quarterly. The Company is obligated to pay 12.5% of the first $1,000,000
earned or raised through financing, other than a government contract, and 15%
of any amount over $1,000,000 until the note and accrued interest are paid.
SEE, Note 10 f to the Financial Statements.
On August 26, 1993, Tensiodyne entered into a license agreement with the
University of Pennsylvania whereby the University licensed to Tensiodyne the
right to develop and exploit the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. Under this
agreement, Tensiodyne issued 12,500 shares of its common stock to the
University and granted it a 5% royalty interest on revenues from sales of the
EFS. The license was assigned to the Company and terminates upon expiration
of the underlying patents.
Also on August 26, 1993, Tensiodyne entered into a Sponsored Research
Agreement with the University of Pennsylvania under which Tensiodyne agreed
to sponsor development of the EFS including paying the University $200,000 in
18 monthly installments. These payments were not made for lack of funds.
This agreement was also assigned to the Company.
The Company expects to enter into modification agreements with the University
of Pennsylvania. Under the modification agreements, the University's royalty
on the EFS will be increased from 5% to 7%; the Company will issue the
University and certain affiliates of the University (the "University Group")
sufficient additional shares of Class A Common Stock so that the University
Group's percentage ownership equals 5% of the outstanding Class A Common
Stock; and the Company will pay the University 30% of any amounts the Company
raises from financing (excluding government contracts) in excess of $150,000
until the $200,000 owed to the University is paid. SEE, Note 6 to the
Financial Statements.

BUSINESS
The Company (also "Matech 2"), a development stage company, owns the device
known as the Fatigue Fuse, which requires additional testing to more
precisely identify commercial uses prior to manufacturing and marketing.
Matech 2 is also the exclusive licensee of the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor
("EFS"), which requires substantial additional development. These
technologies are intended to indicate the level of fatigue of certain metal
structures including aircraft, bridges, cranes, ships, and other structures.
No commercial application of Matech 2" products has been arranged to date.
The Company intends to develop a market for the Fatigue Fuse once testing is
completed and for the EFS once it has been fully developed.
The Fatigue Fuse is in its final testing and development stages which will
last from 6 to 12 months and cost approximately $2,000,000, including
technical testing and final development. If testing, development, and
marketing are successful, management estimates the Company should begin
receiving revenue from Fatigue Fuse sales a year of receiving the $2,000,000.
At this time, management cannot estimate the amount of revenue that may be
realized. Management estimates the EFS will require two years and
approximately $2,875,000 for development and marketing. If successful,
Matech 2's two products will complement each other and be used together in
systems to detect and measure metal fatigue. On the other hand, neither may
be successful for the many reasons listed above. SEE, Very High Risks, p.3.
At first, management intends to market the Fatigue Fuse separately. If the
EFS is successfully developed, the two products will complement one another.
Several manufacturers are capable of producing the Fatigue Fuse at a
reasonable cost. It is uncertain, however, these products (a) will be
successfully developed, (b) can be commercially produced, (c) will perform to
expectations, or (d) that commercial markets will be successfully developed.
Moreover, there is and will be significant competition for the Fatigue Fuse
if and when it is marketed.
DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES
The development and application sequence for the Fatigue Fuse and EFS
consists of Basic Research, Advanced Development, Prototype Evaluation,
Application Demonstration, and Commercial Sales and Service. The Fatigue
Fuse came first and is furthest along in the sequence. The Basic Research
was by the inventor, Professor Maurice Brull of the University of
Pennsylvania. Tensiodyne conducted the Advanced Development, including
variations of the adhesive bonding process, and fabrication of a laboratory
grade recorder (i.e., a fatigue recorder capable of high precision and
reliability, but not designed for use outside a laboratory) for the
separation events which constitute proper functioning of the Fatigue Fuse.
The next step, Prototype Applications, is
21
<PAGE>
on hold pending the receipt of funding, including empirical tailoring of Fuse
parameters (i.e., parameters to match the measured structure's material and
the Fuse's exact geometric design to the structure's material and use) to fit
actual spectrum loading (i.e., random stress loads over a specific range of
loads) expected in specific applications. Associated tests include coupon
specimens (i.e., small blocks of metal which can be conveniently loaded in a
test laboratory) and full scale structural tests (i.e., the object being
tested is a large assembly constituting a section of the structure, e.g., an
airplane wing) with attached Fuses. A prototype of a flight qualifiable
operational (i.e., it can be modified to function when attached to a flying
airplane) separation event recorder (i.e., a device which detects, stores,
and displays information that the metal strips in the Fuse have separated at
specific times) was designed, fabricated, and successfully demonstrated. The
next tasks are to prepare a mathematical analysis for more efficient
selection of Fuse parameters and conduct a comprehensive test program to
prove the ability of the Fuse to accurately indicate fatigue damage when
subjected to realistically large variations in spectrum loading. The final
tasks prior to marketing will be an even larger group of demonstration tests,
e.g. on bridges, helicopters, tankers, or windmills.
To date, certain organizations have included Matech's Fatigue Fuse in test
programs. Already completed are tests for welded steel civil bridge members.
In 1996, Westland Helicopter, a British firm, tested the Fatigue Fuse on
Helicopters. That test was successful in that the legs of the fuses failed
in sequence as predicted. British Aerospace is conducting a full scale, 3
year test of the Fatigue Fuse on Grumman T-38 training aircraft. Testing
will be completed in approximately one year. Matech 1 has also received
commercial inquiries on the availability of Fatigue Fuses for windmills,
marine cranes, and refinery pressure vessels.
Basic Research for the EFS was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania.
It defined the unique physical effect on which the EFS is based, and the
materials, configuration, instrumentation and procedures to be employed. The
next phase will be Advanced Development with more complex load cycles,
additional alloys, fabrication of a movable Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor
device, and production of another body of reproducible test data. Prototype
Applications will then include fabrication of a truly portable
near-operational device. And again the final steps are multiple
demonstration tests followed by routine sales.
The Company has a teaming agreement with Southwest Research Institute
("SWRI") and the University of Pennsylvania (collectively the "Team"). On
February 25, 1997, the United States Air Force awarded the Team a $2.5
million Phase I contract to "determine the feasibility of [the Company's
Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor] to improve the United States Air Force
capability to perform durability assessments of military aircraft, including
both air frames and engines through the application of EFS to specific
military aircraft alloys." The Company is a subcontractor to SWRI and its
share of this award is approximately $550,000 for which the Company will
perform certain technical tasks in accordance with its expertise. This research
will substantially assist the Company in determining the feasibility of the EFS.
DESCRIPTION OF TECHNOLOGIES
22
<PAGE>
The Company is developing these technologies because the existing methods of
detecting metal fatigue have certain disadvantages which may be avoided by
the Fatigue Fuse and/or EFS. The Fatigue Fuse, like other competing
technologies, must remain attached to the structure to respond to the
structure's complete loading history. Its advantages over the other
technologies are (a) it costs less and (b) it can be simply interpreted
without a complex computer analysis system. If the EFS is developed
successfully, it will have a unique advantage over all competing metal
fatigue detection systems in that it will be able to determine the degree of
fatigue damage after a few days of temporary installation. It will not
require continuous input and will be able to assess structures which have
never before been tested for fatigue damage.
Moreover, there is a possibility that these two systems will work well
together. If the EFS can measure the status of the metal fatigue of a
structure, then the Fatigue Fuse may be calibrated to that level of fatigue
and installed on the structure to accurately measure metal fatigue as it
occurs in the structure from that date forward.
The Fatigue Fuse
The Fatigue Fuse, developed by Tensiodyne and now owned by the Company, was
designed to be affixed to a structure and to give a number of warnings as
preselected portions of the fatigue life have been used up (i.e., how far to
failure the object has progressed). It will give warnings against a
condition of widespread generalized cracking due to fatigue.
The Fatigue Fuse is a thin piece of metal similar to the material being
monitored. It consists of a series of parallel metal strips connected to a
common base, much as fingers are attached to a hand. Each "finger" has a
different geometric pattern called "notches" defining its boundaries. By
applying the laws of physics in determining the geometric contour of each of
the notches, the fatigue life of each finger should be finite and
predictable. When the fatigue life for a given finger (or fuse) is reached,
the fuse breaks. By implementing different geometry for each finger in the
array, different increments of fatigue life become observable. Typically,
notches will be designed to facilitate observation of increments of fatigue
life of 10% to 20%. By mechanically attaching or bonding these devices to
different areas of the structural member of concern, the Fuses undergo the
same fatigue history as the structural member. Therefore, breakage of a fuse
will indicate that an increment of fatigue life has been reached for the
structural member.
Fatigue results from a metal object being subjected to repeated cyclic
strain. In a commercial context this strain and concomitant stress result
from a large number of cycles of loading and unloading. Sudden fracture can
result. Fatigue damage and the resulting compromise of the stability and
integrity of the member experiencing fatigue presents potential for
structural failure and extreme danger. Objects such as bridges and wings of
airplanes are subject to fatigue. It is obvious that sudden fracture of such
objects could have disastrous results. It is presently impossible, under any
generally acceptable theory of fatigue phenomena, to predict by analysis
alone when the limit is reached and when a fracture may take place. Further,
in normal usage, the damage occurs cumulatively, at microscopic levels and
can only be detected, in the early stages at a time when dire results can be
avoided by examination of the microscopic structure.
23
<PAGE>
This difficulty has caused designers of objects and structures subject to
fatigue to be extremely conservative. They have attempted to design
structures to maintain the stresses presented in critical areas of a
structure at a level well below known endurance limits of the material. In
many instances this results in extreme expense. In spite of this
"over-designing," catastrophic fatigue failures still occur. Although tests
of the Fatigue Fuse have been performed in independent laboratories and the
Fuse has been shown to perform as designed and as expected, Management has
determined that substantial additional testing is necessary to ensure that it
will be possible to calibrate various types of loading spectra, i.e., the
range and types of stresses which a metal object experiences during usage.
Management estimates that it will require an outlay of approximately $355,000
to accomplish this additional testing. If this money were available,
Management estimates that such additional testing could be accomplished in 6
to 12 months.
Management believes that the Fatigue Fuse will be of value in monitoring
aircraft, ships, bridges, conveyor systems, mining equipment, cranes, etc. No
special training will be needed to qualify individuals to report any broken
segments of the Fatigue Fuse to the appropriate engineering authority for
necessary action. The development of such value is contingent upon the
Company's successful production and marketing of the Fatigue Fuse, and no
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to overcome the
obstacles relating to the introduction to the market of a new product. In
order to determine its ability to produce and market the Fatigue Fuse, it
will be necessary for the Company to have substantial capitalization and no
assurance can be given that the needed capital will be available. See
"Business" "and "Plan of Operations."
Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor
In August 1993, Tensiodyne entered into a license and development agreement
with the University of Pennsylvania regarding a new invention, the EFS,
designed to measure electrochemically the status of fatigue of a structure
without knowing the structure's loading history. Under this Agreement,
12,500 shares of Tensiodyne's common stock were issued, a 5% royalty on sales
of EFS was granted, and Tensiodyne undertook to pay $200,000, $11,112 per
month for 18 months, to the University. No payments have been made on this
obligation. Under the terms of the governing agreement either party may
terminate the agreement effective upon written notice to the other party.
The Company and the University agreed to modify their previous agreements (a)
to increase the University's royalty from 5% to 7% of the sale of related
products, (b) to issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock so that the
University and certain affiliates will own to 5% of the outstanding Class A
Common Stock of the Company as of the effective date of the modified
agreements, and (c) to pay the University 30% of any financing the Company
receives in excess of $150,000 (excluding amounts received from government
grants or contracts) up to the $200,000 owed to the University.
The EFS is a high precision instrument consisting of (a) a cell which can be
attached to a structure to measure electrical current and (b) software to
interpret the current measurements. The cell consists of an enclosure which
contains a fluid which conducts electricity and two metal electrodes
connected to external wires leading to a battery and the current measuring
instrument. The sensor is temporarily attached to a structural member, then
the member is subjected to multiple loads while the instrument records the
current. A computer analyzes the current record to determine the degree of
fatigue damage present at the location of the sensor in the structure. Then
the sensor is removed.
24
<PAGE>
The EFS is in the initial stage of research. No assurance can be given that
it can be developed successfully or that, if developed, it can be produced at
a price which will permit its marketing, or that, even if these two
conditions are met, that the EFS will find a market.
PATENTS
The Company is the assignee of four patents originally issued to Tensiodyne.
The first was issued on May 27, 1986, and expires on May 27, 2003. It is
entitled "Device for Monitoring Fatigue Life" and bears United States Patent
Office Number 4,590,804. The second patent entitled "Method of Making a
Device for Monitoring Fatigue Life" was issued on February 3, 1987 and
expires February 3, 2004. It bears United States Patent Office Number
4,639,997. The third patent, entitled "Metal Fatigue Detector," was issued
on August 24, 1993 and expires on August 24, 2010. It bears United States
Patent Number 5,237,875. The fourth patent, entitled "Device for Monitoring
the Fatigue Life of a Structural Member and a Method of Making Same," was
issued on June 14, 1994 and expires on June 14, 2011. It bears United States
Patent Number 5,319,982. This latter patent was pending when Tensiodyne
assigned the rights to Matech 1 in February 1994 and was assigned to Matech 1
upon issuance later in 1994.
DISTRIBUTION METHODS OF PRODUCT
If funds become available, the Company intends to exhibit the Fatigue Fuse
and the EFS at various aerospace trade shows and market its products directly
to end users, including aircraft manufacturing companies, aircraft
maintenance companies, manufacturers and operators of cranes, certain state
regulatory agencies which oversee bridge maintenance, companies engaged in
manufacturing and maintaining ships and tankers, and the military. Although
management intends to undertake marketing, dependent on the availability of
funds, within and without the United States, no assurance can be given that
any marketing activities will be implemented. See "Very High Risk Factors"
p. 3.
COMPETITION
The Company's Products
1. The EFS is intended to provide a fatigue measurement which cannot now be
obtained from any other instrument, namely, an assessment of the extent of
fatigue damage before cracks have grown to a size detectable by
nondestructive inspection, in a structure which has not previously been
instrumented or monitored to record the loads or strains experienced in
service.
2. The Fatigue Fuse provides a simple low-tech way to assess and predict
fatigue damage, which otherwise requires complex instrumentation, precision
data recording, and sophisticated analytical computer programs.
Competitor's Products
25
<PAGE>
Nevertheless, other technologies exist which indicate fatigue damage. Single
cracks larger than a certain minimum size can be found by nondestructive
inspection methods such as dye penetrant, radiography, eddy current, acoustic
emission, and ultrasonics. Tracking of load and strain history, for
subsequent estimation of fatigue damage by computer processing, is possible
with recording instruments such as strain gauges and counting accelerometers.
These methods have been used for 40 years and offer the advantage that they
have been accepted in the market, whereas the Company's products will remain
largely unproved for some currently indeterminable period. Companies
marketing these alternate technologies include Magnaflux Corporation,
Kraut-kremer-Branson, Dunegan-Endevco, and MicroMeasurements. These
companies have more substantial assets, greater experience, more human and
other resources than the Company, including established distribution channels
and customer bases. The familiarity and loyalty to these technologies may be
difficult to dislodge. Because the Company is still in its development
stages, it is unable to predict whether its technologies may be successfully
developed and be commercially attractive to potential markets.
SOURCES OF BASIC MATERIAL
All of the materials used in the Company's technologies are easily available
from numerous sources. The Company will not be dependent on any supplier as
a sole provider of materials.
DEPENDENCE UPON ONE OR MORE MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company believes that its products may be utilized within the aerospace,
crane, bridge, large ship and tanker industries and by the military. If it
successfully develops its products, as to which no assurance can be given,
the Company will attempt to market its products to a variety of companies and
governmental agencies. See "Business - Distribution Methods of Products."
Nevertheless, the Company believes that it is likely, for several years
following introduction of its products, that it may be dependent on a small
number of large customers, the loss of any one of which would have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's revenues and the perceived reliability of
its products within the marketplace.
TOTAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
The Company has three employees, Robert M. Bernstein, its President and Chief
Executive Officer, who spends substantially full time on its affairs, John
Goodman, its Chief Engineer, who works part time, and a secretary. The
Company will employ other persons as needed on a part time or consulting
basis, as appropriate, based on the availability of funds.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company estimates that it requires $5,000,000 in order to become fully
operational. Of this sum, it estimates that funds would be allocated
approximately as follows:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparation of production models $1,250,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Referral fees for prior funding $625,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Office administration and overhead for two years $1,015,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL $5,000,000
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is seeking to raise funds from numerous sources, including
various state and federal governmental agencies and/or private or public
offerings of securities. At this time, however, the Company has no firm
agreements other than the subcontract with Southwest Research Institute
related to the Air Force contract signed on February 25,1997. That contract
will provide $2,500,000 for basic feasibility research on the EFS related to
air frames and engines through application of EFS to specific military
aircraft alloys. The Company will receive approximately $550,000 to pay its
overhead during EFS development which will allow the Company to continue to
search for the additional $5 million needed to complete testing of the
Fatigue Fuse and to market both the Fatigue Fuse and EFS. Sufficient
interest has been generated by the military that additional military and
congressional funding should be forthcoming based upon the success of Phase
1. Southwest Research has informed the Company that Congress has
appropriated an additional $2,500,000 for research related to the EFS
technology and that the contracting process for the additional funds has
begun. The Company anticipates that process will take six months.

(1) Of this $130,000, $30,000 was paid and $100,000 was accrued.
(2) In 1993, Matech 1 issued 300,000 shares to Mr. Bernstein at par value of
$.001 per share. In addition, $165,000 results from Tensiodyne agreeing to
reduce the purchase price of 6,000 shares of stock that Mr. Bernstein purchased
in 1992 from $30 per share to $2.50 per share by reducing the amount of a
promissory note executed by Mr. Bernstein in the amount of $180,000 to $15,000
for a total reduction of $165,000.
(3) This amount was accrued. On April 25, the Matech 1 agreed to issue Mr.
Bernstein 1,049,454 shares of its Class A Common Stock and 450,000 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock in exchange for cancellation of the $372,000 in
salary accrued by Mr. Bernstein. Under the Agreement with Mr. Bernstein, such
shares will be forfeited to the Company if, within two (2) years, Mr. Bernstein
leaves his positions as an officer and director of Matech 2 other than as a
result of death or disability.
(4) In February 1994, Matech 1 issued 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock,
par value $.001, to Mr. Bernstein
To date, the Company's Board has not authorized any salaries for 1997. As a
result of the subcontract with SWRI, the Company expects Mr. Bernstein to begin
receiving a salary of at least $120,000 per year. Neither Mr. Bernstein nor Mr.
Goodman have received perquisites, other personal benefits, securities, or
property exceeding 10% of their salary in any calendar year from 1993 to the
present.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On March 9, 1997, the Company authorized the issuance of 60,000 shares of Class
B Common Stock to Mr. Bernstein in exchange for cancellation of his 60,000
shares of Class B Common Stock in Matech 1. Class B Common has voting rights of
200 votes per share but no dividend or liquidation rights. Thus, this
transaction assured Mr. Bernstein voting control of the Company by giving him
12,000,000 votes.
On February 28, 1994, Tensiodyne authorized the issuance of 10,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock to Mr. Bernstein for past services.
In March 1994, Mr. Bernstein advanced Matech 1 $48,750 of which $12,000 was
canceled in exchange for the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of Matech 1's Class A
Common Stock. Mr. Bernstein sold 420,000 share for $4,200 to Joel Freedman and
certain preferred shareholders.
On June 21, 1994, Matech 1 amended its By-Laws and increased the number of
Directors from 3 to 5 and established an advisory board of five individuals. It
also authorized the issuance of 36,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to
each of its new board members and the issuance of 18,000 shares of its Class A
Common Stock to each advisory board member.
31
<PAGE>
During 1994, the President, Mr. Bernstein, and a director, Joel Freedman,
purchased 278,550 shares of the Matech 1's Class A Common Stock for $2,786.
In connection with the reorganization of Tensiodyne in February 1994, certain
preferred shareholders of Tensiodyne, known as the Baker Group exchanged their
preferred shares in Tensiodyne for 350,000 Matech 1 Class A Preferred Stock. In
connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Baker Group has exchanged
their 350,000 Matech 1 Class A Preferred Shares for 350,000 of the Company's
Class A Preferred Shares.
On August 10, 1994, Matech 1's Board granted 994,500 Class A Warrants to
Mr. Robert Bernstein, 170,000 Class A Warrants to Mr. Joel Freedman, and 535,500
Warrants to Mr. Baker and his associates. Each Class A Warrant entitled the
registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock of Matech 1 for
$.50 per share until August 9, 1996. On December 15, 1995, Matech 1's Board
extended the expiration date to August 22, 1999. In connection with the Stock
Purchase Agreement these warrants are being exchanged for the same number of the
Company's warrants and with same terms.
From time to time, Robert M. Bernstein has advanced funds to Tensiodyne and
Matech 1 and at December 31, 1996, Matech 1 owed him $179,544. The accrued
interest charged to operations on the President's loans were $5,268 in 1995 and
$9,430 in 1996. Robert M. Bernstein is under no obligation to make advances to
the Company but may to do so at his sole discretion. In addition, on December
31, 1996, Matech 1 was obligated to Robert M. Bernstein in the amount of
$372,000 for accrued salary. On April 25, 1997, Matech 1 agreed to issue Mr.
Bernstein 1,049,454 shares of its Class A Common Stock and distribute 450,000
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in exchange for cancellation of the
$372,000 in salary accrued by Mr. Bernstein. Under the Agreement with Mr.
Bernstein, such shares will be forfeited to the Company if, within two (2)
years, Mr. Bernstein leaves his positions as an officer and director of Matech 2
other than as a result of death or disability. As a result of the transfer of
Matech 1's assets and liabilities to the Company, these are the Company's
liabilities.
On July 24, 1995, Matech 1 authorized issuance of convertible notes to Robert M.
Bernstein and the Baker Group. Mr. Bernstein's note was for $108,000 and in
exchange for $108,000 in cash advances from Mr. Bernstein. The note's term was
three years. Mr. Bernstein had the right at any time to convert the note or any
ratable portion into 520,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The
note to the Baker Group was for $58,000 and in exchange for $58,000 cash paid to
the Company. The term was also three years. The Baker Group had the right at
any time to convert the note or any ratable portion thereof into 280,000 shares
of the Company's Class A Common Stock. In connection with the Stock Purchase
Agreement these notes were converted into 580,000 shares of Matech 1's Class A
Common Stock to Mr. Bernstein and 280,000 shares of Matech 1's Class A Common
Stock to the Baker Group. Accordingly, these notes are no longer in existence.
On the other hand, the conversion of these notes entitled Mr. Bernstein and the
Baker Group to receive a like number of the Company's Class A Common shares as
part of Matech 1's distribution of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common.

(1) Robert M. Bernstein's Class A and Class B common stock ownership
entitle him to cast 83.1% of all votes entitled to be cast by all common
and preferred shareholders and thus voting control of the Company. All
shares of the Company's common and preferred stock have one vote each
except Class B common which has 200 votes each.
(2) Matech 1's Class A Common Stock entitle it to cast 2.7% of the votes
entitled to be cast by all common and preferred shareholders.
(3) Sherman Baker's Class A Common Stock and his Class A Preferred Stock
entitle him to cast 3.5% of the votes entitled to be cast by all common and
preferred shareholders. The Sherman Baker Group composed of 15 investors
including Mr. Baker are entitled to cast 6.8% of the votes entitled to be
cast by all common and preferred shareholders.
In addition, the Company is committed under its modified agreement with the
University of Pennsylvania to issue the University and its affiliates additional
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock so that their holdings equal 5% of
the outstanding Class A Common Stock.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 11,000,000 shares of stock. Each of the
11,000,000 shares of stock has a par value of $.001. Of the shares authorized,
10,000,000 are Class A Common Stock; 100,000 are Class B Common Stock; and
900,000 are Preferred Stock. The Company has designated 350,000 shares as Class
A Preferred Stock and 100 shares as Class B Preferred Stock.
Holders of the Class A Common stock have one vote per share of common stock held
and vote as a single Class with holders of Class B Common Stock, who have 200
votes per share, on all matters submitted to stockholder vote including annual
election of directors, amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, merger or
consolidation of the Company, sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially
all of the Company's property and assets, dissolution of the Company, and all
other matters required to be submitted to stockholder vote under Delaware
Corporation Law. A majority of the shares entitled to vote is necessary to
effect these transactions under Delaware Corporation Law. No super majority is
required by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Class A
Common stockholders are entitled to receive such dividends out of the funds or
assets of the Corporation legally available therefor as, from time to time, the
Board may declare. In electing
34
<PAGE>
directors, if one or more Stockholders or their proxy deliver written notice to
the Secretary of the Corporation prior to the meeting, or to the Chairperson
prior to the vote for directors, all Stockholders may cumulate their votes in
electing directors. If and only if such notice is given, every Stockholder
entitled to vote for directors shall have the number of votes determined by
multiplying the number of directors to be elected by the number of shares the
Stockholder is entitled to vote and each Stockholder may then give one
nominated candidate all such votes or distribute such votes in any proportion
among the nominated candidates.
Holders of Class B Common stock have 200 votes for each share of Class B Common
held but are not entitled to have dividends paid on Class B Common Stock; nor
are they entitled to participate in any proceeds in the event of a liquidation
of the company.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the designation of
powers, preferences and rights, including voting rights, if any, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions on Preferred Stock is to be fixed by resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors.
On April 28, 1997, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware a Certificate of Designation designating 350,000 shares of preferred
stock designated Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as
"Class A Preferred".) Class A Preferred has a liquidation preference. In the
event of liquidation, holders of Class A Preferred have the right to receive
$.72 for each share of Class A Preferred held; before any payment is made or any
assets are distributed to holders of Common Stock, or any other stock of any
other series or class ranking junior to these shares. In the event of
liquidation, holders of Class A Preferred are not entitled to payment beyond
$.72 per share. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control. Each share of Class A Preferred is convertible
into common stock at the discretion of the holder, at the rate of one share of
Class A Preferred for each .72 share of common stock. Thus, the 350,000
outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock are convertible into 486,111
shares of Class A Common Stock. Under the Certificate of Designation, the
Company is not permitted to issue stock which is senior to or pari passu with
Class A Preferred without prior consent of a majority of the outstanding Class A
Preferred shares. Adjustment of the number of Class A Preferred outstanding is
provided for in the event of any reclassification of outstanding securities or
of the class of securities which are issuable upon conversion of shares and in
the event of any reorganization of the Company which results in any
reclassification or change in the number of shares outstanding. Similarly, in
the event of any such change, the conversion price is subject to adjustment to
reflect such change. If at any time while shares of Class A Preferred are
outstanding a stock dividend on the Common Stock is issued, the conversion price
will be adjusted to prevent any dilution of the holders of Class A Preferred
right of conversion. If (a) there is a reclassification or change in the
Company's Common Stock to which the Class A is convertible other than stock
splits or other decrease or increase in the number of shares outstanding, (b)
the Company consolidates or merges with another corporation, or (c) the Company
sells or transfers substantially all of its assets, then the Class A Preferred
shareholders are entitled to the same consideration as they would have been
entitled to if their shares had been converted prior to the reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale, or transfer. This provision may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. Voting rights
and the right to receive dividends inherent in Class A Preferred are similar to
those rights of the Common Stock.
35
<PAGE>
On April 28, 1997, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation bringing into
existence a Class B Preferred Stock. Class B Preferred Stock is junior and
subordinate to Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. 100 shares of Class B
Preferred Stock were authorized from the 550,000 undesignated preferred shares.
Fifteen (15) shares have been issued to Tensiodyne in exchange for canceling its
15 Class B Preferred shares in Matech 1. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary,
holders of Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive $10,000 per share as
a liquidation preference. This liquidation preference is senior to liquidation
rights of all other classes of stock except the Class A Preferred's liquidation
rights. This provision may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a change in control. At any time, the Company has the option to redeem Class B
Preferred stock for $10,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends. At any time
after January 31, 2002, holders have the right to compel the Company to redeem
their shares for $10,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends. Holders have the
right to receive cash dividends as determined by a formula in the Certificate of
Designation which reads as follows: "Each time a cash dividend is paid on the
Common Stock there shall also be paid with respect to each outstanding share of
Class B Preferred Stock an amount determined by multiplying the aggregate amount
of the dividend paid with respect to the Common Stock by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which is 3,214,480 and (ii) the denominator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock on which the dividend was paid, and (x) multiplying
the resulting product by thirty percent (30%) and then (y) dividing the
resulting product by five hundred and ten (510)." Holders of Class B Preferred
Stock shall have one (1) vote per share and shall be entitled by class vote to
elect one (1) director and to vote, as a class, on removal of any director so
elected. Otherwise, holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall not have the right
to vote as a class on any matter.
As of the date hereof, 5,560,000 shares of Class A common stock are outstanding
and upon distribution of the shares under this prospectus 408 shareholders will
hold 707,911 shares; 60,000 shares of Class "B" Common stock are outstanding and
held by Robert M. Bernstein; 350,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred
stock are outstanding and are held by 12 shareholders; and 15 shares of Class B
Preferred stock are outstanding and are held by one shareholder, Tensiodyne.
WARRANTS
On March 9, 1997, the Company's Board granted 1,700,000 Class A Warrants,
994,500 to Robert M. Bernstein, 170,000 to Joel Freedman, and 535,500 to Sherman
Baker and his associates in exchange for each of these individuals agreeing to
cancel a like number of warrants to purchase Matech 1 common stock on the same
terms. Each Class A Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one
share of Class A Common Stock at $.50 per share until August 22, 1999. Each
holder may exercise by surrendering the warrant certificate, with the form of
election completed and executed, together with payment of the exercise price to
the Company at its corporate offices. The exercise price is payable in cash or
by check acceptable to the Company. If less than all warrants evidenced by the
warrant certificate are exercised, a new certificate is issued for the remaining
warrants. The Board has the right to extend the exercise period and price.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
36
<PAGE>
The Shares being distributed are 707,911 shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock. No assurance can be given that a public market will develop for the
Company's Shares.
LEGAL MATTERS
The Law Offices of C. Timothy Smoot, Torrance, California, has opined on the
validity of the Shares of Class A Common Stock being distributed.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article VII, Section 3 of the Company's bylaws permit the Corporation
"to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right
of the Corporation) relating to such person's status or acts as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or relating to such
person's service at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such per-son in connection with such proceeding if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful."
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against the public policy as expressed in the Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Material Technologies, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Material Technologies, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity (deficit) for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, and for the
period from January 1, 1991, through December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. Statements of operations and cash flows for the period from October
21, 1983 (inception) through December 31, 1990, (with the exception of 1989
which was unaudited) were audited by other auditors whose reports dated on
various dates, expressed unqualified opinions including an explanatory
paragraph, as discussed in Note 3, regarding the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F-1
<PAGE>
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Material Technologies, Inc. as
of December 31, 1996, and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 and for
the period from January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Property and Equipment
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for
financial reporting purposes and for income tax reporting
purposes.
b. Intangible Assets
Intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method
over periods ranging from 5 to 20 years (see Note 4).
c. Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed pursuant to SAB Topic
1.B.2.
d. Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3 - Realization of Assets
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However,
the Company has sustained substantial operating losses totaling
$2,824,669 since its inception through December 31,1996. These
continuing losses are an indication that the Company may not be able
to continue to operate.

status of a structure without knowing the structure's past loading history.
The Company is in the initial stage of developing the Sensor.
Under the terms of the agreement the Company issued to the University
12,500 shares of its common stock, and a 5% royalty on sales of the
product. The Company valued the licensing agreement at $6,250. Under the
terms of the agreement, the license terminates upon the expiration of the
underlying patents, unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement.
The Company is amortizing the license over 20 years.

Note 8 - Notes Payable
On May 27, 1994, the Company borrowed $25,000 from Mr. Sherman Baker, a
current shareholder. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note which is
assessed interest at major bank prime rate. The principal and all accrued
interest is fully due and payable in 2 years, but the Company is required
to pay-off the loan and accrued interest in full from the proceeds of any
independent financing.
As additional consideration for the loan, the Company granted to Mr. Baker,
a 1% royalty interest in the Fatigue Fuse and a .5% royalty interest in the
Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. The Company has not placed a value on the
royalty interest granted. The balance due on this loan as of December 31,
1995 and 1996 was $29,270 and $32,459, respectively.

In October 1997, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unrelated third
party. Under the terms of the promissory note, the loan is assessed
interest at an annual rate of 10% and matures on October 15, 1998. The
loan is convertible at any time prior to payoff at the option of the payee
into 25,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Interest charged
to operations on this loan in 1996 amounted to approximately $527.
Note 9 - Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided based on earnings reported for financial
statement purposes pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("FASB 109").
FASB 109 uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes
which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax
basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities.
An allowance has been provided for by the Company which reduced the tax
benefits accrued by the Company for its net operating losses to zero, as it
can not be determined when, or if, the tax benefits derived from these
operating losses will materialize.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company's commitments and contingencies are as follows:
a. On December 24, 1985, in order to provide funding for research and
development related to the Fatigue Fuse, the Company entered into
various agreements with the Tensiodyne 1985-I R & D Partnership.
These agreements were amended on October 9, 1989, and under the
revised terms, obligated the Company to pay the Partnership a royalty
of 10% of future gross sales. The Company's obligation to the
Partnership is limited to the capital contributed to it by its
partners in the amount of approximately $912,500 and accrued interest.
b. On August 30, 1986, the Company entered into a funding agreement with
the Advanced Technology Center ("ATC"), whereby ATC paid $45,000 to
the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales
and 6% of sublicensing revenue. The royalty is limited to the $45,000
plus an 11% annual rate of return. At December 31, 1995, and 1996,
the future royalty commitment was limited to $107,510 and $119,336,
respectively.
The payment of future royalties is secured by equipment used by the
Company in the development of technology as specified in the funding
agreement.
c. On May 4, 1987, the Company entered into a funding agreement with ATC,
whereby ATC provided $63,775 to the Company for the purchase of a
royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicensing revenues.
The agreement was amended August 28, 1987, and as amended, the royalty
cannot exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of the advance plus a 26%
annual rate of return or, (2) total royalties earned for a term of 17
years.
At December 31, 1995, and 1996, the total future royalty commitments,
including the accumulated 26% annual rate of return, was limited to
approximately $440,265, and $554,734, respectively. The future
royalties are secured by the Company's patents, products, and accounts
receivable, which may be related to technology developed with the
funding.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
d. In 1994, the Company issued to Variety Investments, Ltd. of Vancouver,
Canada ("Variety"), a 22.5% royalty interest on the Fatigue Fuse in
consideration for the cancellation of cash advances made to the
Company by Variety.
In December 1996, in exchange for the issuance by the Company of
250,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, Variety reduced its
royalty interest to 20%.
e. Under an agreement which was effective February 2, 1994, Tensiodyne
Corporation, the Company's former parent, was obligated to provide
$5,100,000 in financing.
During 1994, the Company received $150,000 under this agreement in
exchange for the issuance of 7,560 shares of its Class A common stock
and 15 shares of its Redeemable Class B Preferred Stock. The $150,000
has been classified for financial purposes as Redeemable Preferred
Stock.
The Shareholders of the preferred stock have the right of redemption
at $10,000 per share, if the preferred shares are not redeemed by the
Company within 10 years of issuance.
Dividends are payable on the preferred shares to the same extent as
aggregate dividends on the number of shares of common stock equal to
30% of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the closing
date. The holders of the preferred shares will be allowed to elect a
director of the Company.
Tensiodyne was not able to fund the full amount of its obligation to
the Company and on November 22, 1994, the Company filed suit against
Tensiodyne for breach of contract. On March 28, 1995, a settlement
agreement was entered into whereby Tensiodyne issued to the Company
6,375,000 shares of its Common Stock. The proceeds received from the
sale of these shares will be used to reduce Tensiodyne's obligation to
pay the remaining balance owing of $4,950,000 and accrued interest
which is assessed under the settlement agreement at 7% per annum.

MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
The Company also received upon the signing of the settlement agreement
250,000 shares of Tensiodyne common stock.
Management believes that Tensiodyne has insufficient capital to meet
its obligation to pay any of the amounts owed and the Company will
have to rely on the proceeds it receives through the sale of the
Tensiodyne shares to reduce the amount due.
The shares received are subject to restrictions imposed under SEC Rule
144. Based upon these restrictions and the limited market in which to
sell the Tensiodyne stock, it is impractical to estimate the full
value of the obligation owed the Company by Tensiodyne.
On December 30, 1996, an agreement was entered into whereby Tensiodyne
agreed to exchange the 15 shares of Redeemable Class B Preferred Stock
it owned in Matech 1 for 15 shares of the Company's Redeemable Class B
Preferred Stock. The rights of the new issuance will be the same as
the rights of the shares exchanged except the shares in the Company
will be redeemable two years earlier on January 31, 2002. In
consideration for the exchange, the Company paid Tensiodyne $5,000.
f. The Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party
for providing the idea of pursuing a government contract for the
funding of the development of the Company's technologies, under which
he would receive a number of the Company's Class A Common Stock equal
to 2.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the date a
government contract is signed, 15% of the amount of the government
contract, and an appointment to the Company's Board of Directors.
Funds due him will be paid only when such funds become available to
the Company.
The Company's obligation is created on the date the government
contract is signed. Under the agreement with this individual, the
amounts due will be evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at
major bank prime.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
Interest accrues nine months after the government contract is
executed, and is payable quarterly. The principal balance and any
accrued interest is paid through funds raised or earned by the
Company. The Company is obligated to pay 12.5% of the first
$1,000,000 earned or raised and 15% of any amount in excess of the
$1,000,000.
The Agreement contains anti-dilution provisions relating to the shares
to be issued which expire once $50,000 is paid. The Company's
obligation to have this person as a Director expires once all amounts
due are paid. The contingent amount due has been personally
guaranteed by the Company's President and is secured by the Company's
patents. The personal guarantee expires upon the individual receiving
$100,000.
g. As discussed in Note 8, the Company granted a 1% royalty interest in
the Company's Fatigue Fuse and a .5% royalty interest in its
Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor to Mr. Sherman Baker as part
consideration on a $25,000 loan made by Mr. Baker to the Company.

the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts of omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)

pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
ITEM 512(h) - Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action , suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Material Technologies, Inc., Form S-1
Dear Sirs:
I have formed a legal opinion regarding the proposed distribution of
707,911 shares of Class A Common Stock of Material Technologies, Inc.,
("Matech"). In coming to my opinion, I have examined Matech 2's Certificate of
Incorporation, minutes of Matech's Board of Directors, Matech's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, certain minutes of Material Technology, Inc.,
pertinent agreements relating to the spin-off of Matech from its parent Material
Technology, Inc., Matech's Form S-1 Registration statement, and various other
documents. In addition, I have discussed various aspects of the transaction
with Robert M. Bernstein, Chairman and President of Matech and Jonathon Reuben,
Matech's independent Certified Public Accountant. In forming this opinion, I
have relied on the apparent bona fides of the documents which Matech provided to
me and various representations of Mr. Robert Bernstein.
In my opinion, the 707,911 shares of Matech's Class A Common Stock being
registered for distribution to the shareholders of Material Technology, Inc., as
of the effective date of the S-1 Registration Statement, will, when distributed
be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Very truly yours,
C. Timothy Smoot
