statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that
a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document
which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies
or supersedes such earlier statement. Any statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The shares underlying the options are shares of common stock, all of
the same class and entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other
shares of common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK. Our authorized capital stock consists of
100,000,000 shares of common stock with a $.001 par value. As of the date
of this registration statement, we have outstanding 45,722,084 shares of
common stock, all of which is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared
by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. Any
such dividends may be paid in cash, property or shares of our common stock.
We have not paid any dividends since our inception. All dividends will be
subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon,
among other things, our operating and financial conditions, our capital
requirements and our general business conditions. Therefore, there can be
no assurance that any dividends on our common stock will be paid in the
future.
All shares of our common stock have equal voting rights and, when
validly issued and outstanding, have one vote per share on all matters to
be voted upon by the shareholders. Cumulative voting in the election of
directors is not allowed, and a quorum for shareholder meetings shall
result from a majority of the issued and outstanding shares present in
person or by proxy. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares
of common stock present, in person or by proxy at any legally convened
shareholders' meeting at which the Board of Directors is to be elected,
will be able to elect all directors and the minority shareholders will not
be able to elect a representative to the Board of Directors.
There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights, no redemption or
sinking fund provisions, and shares are not liable for further call or
assessment. Each share is entitled to share pro rata any assets available
for distribution to holders of its equity securities upon our liquidation.
The Transfer Agent for the Registrant is American Registrar &
Transfer, 342 East 900 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Other than as set forth below, no named expert or counsel was hired on
a contingent basis, will receive a direct or indirect interest in the small
business issuer, or was a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director,
officer, or employee of the Registrant.
Poulton & Yordan, counsel for the Registrant named in this
registration statement as giving an opinion on the validity of the
securities, will be receiving an option to purchase up to 500,000 shares of

common stock pursuant to the Registrant's 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan
under this Form S-8 in exchange for consultation on merger and acquisition
transactions previously rendered to the Registrant.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Utah corporation law, a corporation is authorized to indemnify
officers, directors, employees and agents who are parties or threatened to
be made parties to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or are or were acting in the
same capacity for another entity at the request of the corporation. Such
indemnification includes reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if they acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation.
With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, these same
indemnification authorizations apply if these persons had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In the case of any action by
the corporation against such persons, the corporation is authorized to
provide similar indemnification. But, if any such persons should be
adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of
duties to the corporation, the court conducting the proceeding must
determine that such persons are nevertheless fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification.
To the extent any such persons are successful on the merits in defense
of any such action, suit or proceeding, Utah law provides that they shall
be indemnified against reasonable expenses, including attorney fees. A
corporation is authorized to advance anticipated expenses for such suits or
proceedings upon an undertaking by the person to whom such advance is made
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Indemnification and payment of expenses provided by Utah law are not
deemed exclusive of any other rights by which an officer, director,
employee or agent may seek indemnification or payment of expenses or may be
entitled to such under any bylaw, agreement, or vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors.
As a result of such corporation law, Registrant may, at some future
time, be legally obligated to pay judgments (including amounts paid in
settlement) and expenses in regard to civil or criminal suits or
proceedings brought against one or more of its officers, directors,
employees or agents, as such.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the company 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 Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
