ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
On March 15, 1996, China Strategic Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong
corporation ("CSH") acquired 20,500,000 shares of the common stock of the
Registrant (the "SHARES") pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certain
Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 8, 1996 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), by
and between Harlequin Investment Holdings Limited ("HARLEQUIN") and CSH. Under
the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price for the Shares was $1,223,000
($0.0302 per share). Said purchase price was payable partly in cash ($209,328)
and the balance by cancellation of two (2) promissory notes representing
previous loans from CSH to Harlequin. In addition to the cash payment and
cancellation of debt, Harlequin received a Stock Purchase Option exercisable at
any time prior to March 31, 2001 to purchase up to 8.0 million shares of the
Registrant's common stock at an exercise price is $0.0302 per share.
As a result of the transaction, Harlequin's ownership interest in the
Registrant was reduced from 54.22% to 5.56% based on the currently issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Registrant and 14.02% of the
aggregate outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the
issuance of shares upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Option. CSH's ownership
interest after the purchase of the Shares based upon currently issued and
outstanding shares is 25.06%. Assuming conversion of the $13.5 million
Convertible Note held by CSH, CSH's interest ownership in the Registrant would
increase to 92.2%. The funds used by CSH to purchase the Shares came from the
general operating funds of CSH. CSH has the sole voting power and control with
respect to the Shares.
