and outstanding shares of capital stock.
(ii) The amount and source of consideration used by Registrant was: 1) One
hundred forty four thousand nine hundred six (144,906) shares of the

thousand dollars ($147,000) as of August 1, 1997 to be assigned to Larry

are complete and correct and have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the
periods involved and fairly present the financial position of GSM as at the

redeemed or otherwise beneficially acquired, any of its outstanding capital
stock of any

corporate power and authority to own and hold, and (except for assets disposed
of in the ordinary course of business) will have on the Closing Date good and
marketable indefeasible title to, all of the properties and assets reflected in
