In July 1997, Mr. Rowell was named in a lawsuit filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. The complaint alleges that Mr. Rowell violated Section
16(b) of the Act in connection with several transactions
involving shares of the Company's common stock, principally a
transaction in October 1996 between Mr. and Mrs. Rowell, where
Mrs. Rowell agreed to transfer 5,000,000 shares of her common
stock holdings to Mr. Rowell in payment to Mrs. Rowell of
$200,000. The complaint seeks damages from Mr. Rowell in excess
of $600,000. Because this is an action for an alleged Section
16(b) violation of the Act, the damages are sought on behalf of
the Company, and as such, the interests of the Company and Mr.
Rowell are adverse.
In September 1998, Mr. Rowell, without admitting liability,
settled the complaint to avoid further legal expense and paid the
Company $37,500 in cash, forgave $29,247 of indebtedness owed by
the Company to Trachyte, and returned 1,037,420 shares of common
stock to the Company, all pursuant to the approval of the
settlement by the Court on September 24, 1998. The Company then
paid the attorney representing the plaintiff its costs and fees
of $16,627. The settlement resulted in a contribution of capital
to the Company of $150,000.
