PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
------------------------
Business Development.
- ---------------------
Organization and Charter Amendments.
-----------------------------------
Encibar, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Utah on June 3, 1983. The purposes for which the corporation was organized
were: (1) to engage in the specific business of making investments, including
investment in, purchase, and ownership of any and all kinds of products; (2) to
acquire by purchase, exchange, gift, bequest, subscription, or otherwise; and to
hold, own, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or
otherwise dispose or of deal in or with its own corporate securities or stock or
other securities including, without limitations, any shares of stock, bonds,
debentures, notes, mortgages, or other obligations, and any certificates,
receipts, or other instrumentalities thereof; to make payment therefor in any
lawful manner or to issue in exchange therefor its unreserved earned surplus for
the purchase or its own shares, and to exercise as owner or holder of any
securities, any and all rights, powers, and priviliges, in respect thereof.
The Company had an initial authorized capital of $100,000 consisting of
100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock.
On August 1, 1989, the Company was involuntarily dissolved from the state
of Utah for failure to file an annual report. On May 6, 1999, the Company was
reinstated with the State of Utah.
Public Offering.
---------------
On or about September 23, 1983, the Company filed a S-18 Registration
Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Material Changes in Control Since Inception and Related Business History.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Business.
- ---------
Other than the above-referenced matters and seeking and investigating
potential assets, properties or businesses to acquire, the Company has had no
business operations since approximately 1989. To the extent that the Company
intends to continue to seek the acquisition of assets, property or business that
may benefit the Company and its stockholders, it is essentially a "blank check"
company. Because the Company has limited assets and conducts no business,
management anticipates that any such acquisition would require it to issue
shares of its common stock as the sole consideration for the acquisition. This
may result in substantial dilution of the shares of current stockholders. The
Company's Board of Directors shall make the final determination whether to
complete any such acquisition; the approval of stockholders will not be sought
unless required by applicable laws, rules and regulations, its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or contract. The Company makes no assurance that any
future enterprise will be profitable or successful.
<PAGE>
The Company is not currently engaging in any substantive business activity
and has no plans to engage in any such activity in the foreseeable future. In
its present form, the Company may be deemed to be a vehicle to acquire or merge
with a business or company. The Company does not intend to restrict its search
to any particular business or industry, and the areas in which it will seek out
acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers may include, but will not be limited
to, the fields of high technology, manufacturing, natural resources, service,
research and development, communications, transportation, insurance, brokerage,
finance and all medically related fields, among others. The Company recognizes
that the number of suitable potential business ventures that may be available to
it may be extremely limited, and may be restricted to entities who desire to
avoid what these entities may deem to be the adverse factors related to an
initial public offering ("IPO"). The most prevalent of these factors include
substantial time requirements, legal and accounting costs, the inability to
obtain an underwriter who is willing to publicly offer and sell shares, the lack
of or the inability to obtain the required financial statements for such an
undertaking, limitations on the amount of dilution to public investors in
comparison to the stockholders of any such entities, along with other conditions
or requirements imposed by various federal and state securities laws, rules and
regulations. Any of these types of entities, regardless of their prospects,
would require the Company to issue a substantial number of shares of its common
stock to complete any such acquisition, reorganization or merger, usually
amounting to between 80 and 95 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company
following the completion of any such transaction; accordingly, investments in
any such private entity, if available, would be much more favorable than any
investment in the Company.
In the event that the Company engages in any transaction resulting in a
change of control of the Company and/or the acquisition of a business, the
Company will be required to file with the Commission a Current Report on Form
8-K within 15 days of such transaction. A filing on Form 8-K also requires the
filing of audited financial statements of the business acquired, as well as pro
forma financial information consisting of a pro forma condensed balance sheet,
pro forma statements of income and accompanying explanatory notes.
Management intends to consider a number of factors prior to making any
decision as to whether to participate in any specific business endeavor, none of
which may be determinative or provide any assurance of success. These may
include, but will not be limited to an analysis of the quality of the entity's
management personnel; the anticipated acceptability of any new products or
marketing concepts; the merit of technological changes; its present financial
condition, projected growth potential and available technical, financial and
managerial resources; its working capital, history of operations and future
prospects; the nature of its present and expected competition; the quality and
experience of its management services and the depth of its management; its
potential for further research, development or exploration; risk factors
specifically related to its business operations; its potential for growth,
expansion and profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of its
products, services, trademarks and name identification; and numerous other
factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to properly or accurately
analyze, let alone describe or identify, without referring to specific objective
criteria.
<PAGE>
Regardless, the results of operations of any specific entity may not
necessarily be indicative of what may occur in the future, by reason of changing
market strategies, plant or product expansion, changes in product emphasis,
future management personnel and changes in innumerable other factors. Further,
in the case of a new business venture or one that is in a research and
development mode, the risks will be substantial, and there will be no objective
criteria to examine the effectiveness or the abilities of its management or its
business objectives. Also, a firm market for its products or services may yet
need to be established, and with no past track record, the profitability of any
such entity will be unproven and cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Management will attempt to meet personally with management and key
personnel of the entity sponsoring any business opportunity afforded to the
Company, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or
verification of information provided and gathered, check references of
management and key personnel and conduct other reasonably prudent measures
calculated to ensure a reasonably thorough review of any particular business
opportunity; however, due to time constraints of management, these activities
may be limited.
The Company is unable to predict the time as to when and if it may actually
participate in any specific business endeavor. The Company anticipates that
proposed business ventures will be made available to it through personal
contacts of directors, executive officers and principal stockholders,
professional advisors, broker dealers in securities, venture capital personnel,
members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited
proposals. In certain cases, the Company may agree to pay a finder's fee or to
otherwise compensate the persons who submit a potential business endeavor in
which the Company eventually participates. Such persons may include the
Company's directors, executive officers, beneficial owners or their affiliates.
In this event, such fees may become a factor in negotiations regarding a
potential acquisition and, accordingly, may present a conflict of interest for
such individuals.
Although the Company has not identified any potential acquisition target,
the possibility exists that the Company may acquire or merge with a business or
company in which the Company's executive officers, directors, beneficial owners
or their affiliates may have an ownership interest. Current Company policy does
not prohibit such transactions. Because no such transaction is currently
contemplated, it is impossible to estimate the potential pecuniary benefits to
these persons.
Further, substantial fees are often paid in connection with the completion
of these types of acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers, ranging from a small
amount to as much as $250,000. These fees are usually divided among promoters or
founders, after deduction of legal, accounting and other related expenses, and
it is not unusual for a portion of these fees to be paid to members of
management or to principal stockholders as consideration for their agreement to
retire a portion of the shares of common stock owned by them. In the event that
such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations regarding any
potential acquisition by the Company and, accordingly, may present a conflict of
interest for such individuals.
<PAGE>
Year 2000.
- ----------
Because the Company is not presently engaged in any substantial business
operations, management does not believe that computer problems associated with
the change of year to the year 2000 will have any material effect on its
operations. However, the possibility exists that the Company may merge with or
acquire a business that will be negatively affected by the "year 2000" problem.
The effect of such problem or the Company in the future can not be predicted
with any accuracy until such time as the Company identifies a merger or
acquisition target.
Principal Products and Services.
- --------------------------------
The limited business operations of the Company, as now contemplated,
involve those of a "blank check" company. The only activities to be conducted by
the Company are to manage its current limited assets and to seek out and
investigate the acquisition of any viable business opportunity by purchase and
exchange for securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization or merger
through which securities of the Company will be issued or exchanged.
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services.
- -------------------------------------------------
Management will seek out and investigate business opportunities through
every reasonably available fashion, including personal contacts, professionals,
securities broker dealers, venture capital personnel, members of the financial
community and others who may present unsolicited proposals; the Company may also
advertise its availability as a vehicle to bring a company to the public market
through a "reverse" reorganization or merger.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service.
- --------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Competitive Business Conditions.
- --------------------------------
Management believes that there are literally thousands of "blank check"
companies engaged in endeavors similar to those engaged in by the Company; many
of these companies have substantial current assets and cash reserves.
Competitors also include thousands of other publicly-held companies whose
business operations have proven unsuccessful, and whose only viable business
opportunity is that of providing a publicly-held vehicle through which a private
entity may have access to the public capital markets. There is no reasonable way
to predict the competitive position of the Company or any other entity in the
strata of these endeavors; however, the Company, having limited assets and cash
reserves, will no doubt be at a competitive disadvantage in competing with
entities which have recently completed IPO's, have significant cash resources
and have recent operating histories when compared with the complete lack of any
substantive operations by the Company for the past several years.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers.
- -------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements
or Labor Contracts.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the Company currently produces no products or services, it is not
presently subject to any governmental regulation in this regard. However, in the
event that the Company engages in a merger or acquisition transaction with an
entity that engages in such activities, it will become subject to all
governmental approval requirements to which the merged or acquired entity is
subject.
<PAGE>
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the
Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992,
substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a "Small
Business Issuer," defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25
million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an investment company; and if a
majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer; provided,
however, an entity is not a small business issuer if it has a public float (the
aggregate market value of the issuer's outstanding securities held by
non-affiliates) of $25 million or more.
The Commission, state securities commissions and the North American
Securities Administrators Association, Inc. ("NASAA") have expressed an interest
in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it
easier for a small business issuer to have access to the public capital markets.
The present laws, rules and regulations designed to promote availability to the
small business issuer of these capital markets and similar laws, rules and
regulations that may be adopted in the future will substantially limit the
demand for "blank check" companies like the Company, and may make the use of
these companies obsolete.
Research and Development.
- -------------------------
None; not applicable.
Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws.
- -------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable. However, environmental laws, rules and regulations
may have an adverse effect on any business venture viewed by the Company as an
attractive acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate, and these factors
may further limit the number of potential candidates available to the Company
for acquisition, reorganization or merger.
Number of Employees.
- --------------------
None.
Item 2. Description of Property.
-----------------------
The Company has no assets, property or business; its principal executive
office address and telephone number are the business office address and
telephone number of its majority shareholder, Duane S. Jenson, and are currently
provided at no cost. Because the Company has had no business, its activities
will be limited to keeping itself in good standing in the State of Utah, seeking
out acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers and preparing and filing the
appropriate reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
activities have consumed an insubstantial amount of management's time.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the
knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is
presently contemplating any proceeding against the Company. No director,
executive officer or affiliate of the Company or owner of record or beneficially
of more than five percent of the Company's common stock is a party adverse to
the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
----------------------------------------------------
No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during
the fourth quarter of the calendar year covered by this Report or during the two
previous calendar years. Further, there have been no meetings of stockholders
since before 1989.
<PAGE>
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------
Market Information
- ------------------
There is no "public market" for shares of common stock of the Company.
However, the Company intends to submit for quotations regarding its common stock
on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers
("NASD"); however, management does not expect any public market to develop
unless and until the Company completes an acquisition or merger. In any event,
no assurance can be given that any market for the Company's common stock will
develop or be maintained.
Holders
- -------
The number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of the date
of this Report is approximately 134.
Dividends
- ---------
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its common
stock and does not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future. The
future dividend policy of the Company cannot be ascertained with any certainty,
and until the Company completes any acquisition, reorganization or merger, as to
which no assurance may be given, no such policy will be formulated. There are no
material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company's
ability to pay dividends on its common stock.
Sales of "Unregistered" and "Restricted" Securities Over The Past Three Years.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
None;
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ------------------
The Company has not engaged in any material operations or had any revenues
from operations during the last two calendar years. The Company's plan of
operation for the next 12 months is to continue to seek the acquisition of
assets, properties or businesses that may benefit the Company and its
stockholders. Management anticipates that to achieve any such acquisition, the
Company will issue shares of its common stock as the sole consideration for such
acquisition.
During the next 12 months, the Company's only foreseeable cash requirements
will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing or the payment of
expenses associated with reviewing or investigating any potential business
venture, which the Company expects to pay from its cash resources. As of March
31, 1999, it had no cash or cash equivalents. If additional funds are required
during this period, such funds may be advanced by management or stockholders as
loans to the Company. Because the Company has not identified any such venture as
of the date of this Report, it is impossible to predict the amount of any such
loan. However, any such loan should not exceed $25,000 and will be on terms no
less favorable to the Company than would be available from a commercial lender
in an arm's length transaction. As of the date of this Report, the Company is
not engaged in any negotiations with any person regarding any such venture.
Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
Other than restoring its good corporate standing in the State of Utah,
compromising and settling its debts and seeking the acquisition of assets,
properties or businesses that may benefit the Company and its stockholders, the
Company has had no material business operations in the two most recent calendar
years, or since its bankruptcy proceedings in 1993 .
At March 31, 1999, the Company's had no assets. See the Index to
Financial Statements, Item 7 of this Report.
During the period ended March 31, 1999, the Company had a net loss of $880.
The Company has received no revenues in either of its two most recent calendar
years. See the Index to Financial Statements, Item 7 of this Report.

Mantyla, McReynolds & Associates, 5872 South 900 East, Suite 250, Salt Lake
City, Utah 84121, has been retained as the Company's auditor since May 12, 1999.
The Company's previous auditor was Pannell Kerr Forester, CPA, of San Diego,
California. The Company did not consult the new accountant regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
transaction, the type of audit opinion that was to be rendered on the financial
statements, nor any written or oral advice was provided that was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue. Additionally, there have been no
disagreements between auditors or the Company and its auditors. For material
documentation respecting the change in the Company's auditors, see Item 13 of
the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed on December 7, 1999, which is

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Encibar, Inc.[a development stage company]
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Encibar, Inc. [a development
stage company] as of March 31, 1999, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, and for the period from Reactivation [March 22, 1999] through March 31,
1999. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Encibar, Inc. [a development
stage company] as of March 31, 1999, and the results of operations and cash
flows for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses from
operations, no assets, and a net working capital deficiency 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 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1999
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Organization
Encibar, Inc. incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on
June 3, 1983. The Company engaged in various investment
activities through 1987. These investing activities were
unsuccessful and the Company was involuntarily dissolved in
August, 1989 for failure to file an annual report. Since that
time the Company was left dormant until March 22, 1999 when it
was reactivated.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
following summarizes the more significant of such policies:
(b) Income Taxes
Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 [the
Statement], Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement requires
an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting for income taxes, and the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets
and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect
when such amounts are realized or settled. Prior years'
consolidated financial statements have not been restated to apply
the provisions of the Statement. The cumulative effect of this
change in accounting for income taxes as of March 31, 1999 is $0
due to the valuation allowance established as described in Note
3.
(c) Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding.
(d) Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers cash on deposit in the bank to be cash. The Company had
$0 cash at March 31, 1999.

[Continued]
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[continued]
(e) Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY/GOING CONCERN
The Company has accumulated losses since Reactivation through
March 31, 1999 amounting to $255,757, has no assets, and has a
net working capital deficiency at March 31, 1999. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.
Management plans include finding a well-capitalized merger
candidate to recommence its operations. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company is
currently negotiating a reorganization plan with another
corporation.
NOTE 3 INCOME TAXES
Below is a summary of deferred tax asset calculations on net
operating loss carry forward amounts. Loss carry forward amounts
expire at various times through 2014. A valuation allowance is
provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Deferred tax asset 3/31/99 $0
NOTE 4 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS/RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
On May 12, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to
effect a reverse split of the outstanding common stock on the
basis of 745 for one, effective May 15, 1999, while retaining the
current authorized capital and par value. No stockholder shall
own less than 100 post split shares; appropriate adjustments are
to be made to the stated capital accounts and capital surplus
accounts.
Additional post split shares have been issued in the following
manner:

SHAREHOLDERS
Section 2.0 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be
held in May of each year or at such other time designated by the Board of
Directors and as is provided for in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose
of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come
before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day
designated for the annual meeting of the shareholders, or at any adjournment
thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special
meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as may be convenient.
Section 2.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be
called at any time by the chairman of the board, the president, or by the Board
of Directors, or in their absence or disability, by any vice president, and
shall be called by the president or, in his or her absence or disability, by a
vice president or by the secretary on the written request of the holders of not
less than one-tenth of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, such
written request to state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and to be
delivered to the president, each vice-president, or secretary. In case of
failure to call such meeting within 60 days after such request, such shareholder
or shareholders may call the same.
Section 2.03 Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may designate any
place, either within or without the state of incorporation, as the place of
meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of
Directors. A waiver of notice signed by all shareholders entitled to vote at a

incorporation, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation
is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall
be at the principal office of the corporation.
<PAGE>
Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings. The secretary or assistant secretary, if
any, shall cause notice of the time, place, and purpose or purposes of all
meetings of the shareholders (whether annual or special), to be mailed at least
ten (10) days, but not more than fifty (50) days, prior to the meeting, to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote.
Section 2.05 Waiver of Notice. Any shareholder may waive notice of any
meeting of shareholders (however called or noticed, whether or not called or
noticed and whether before, during, or after the meeting), by signing a written
waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting, or an approval of
the minutes thereof. Attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall
constitute waiver of all defects of call or notice regardless of whether waiver,
consent, or approval is signed or any objections are made. All such waivers,
consents, or approvals shall be made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Section 2.06 Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any annual meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or in order to make a determination of shareholders for
any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide
that the share transfer books shall be closed, for the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting, but not for a
period exceeding fifty (50) days. If the share transfer books are closed for the
purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such
meeting, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately
preceding such meeting.
In lieu of closing the share transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix
in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders,
such date in any case to be not more than fifty (50) and, in case of a meeting
of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the
particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken.
If the share transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting or
to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is
mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring
such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such
determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to
vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section,
such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof. Failure to comply
with this Section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting
of shareholders.
<PAGE>
Section 2.07 Voting Lists. The officer or agent of the corporation having
charge of the share transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make, at
least ten (10) days before each meeting of the shareholders, a complete list of
the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof,
arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of, and the number of shares
held by each, which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting,
shall be kept on file at the registered office of the corporation and shall be
subject to inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting.
The original share transfer book shall be prima facia evidence as to the
shareholders who are entitled to examine such list or transfer books, or to vote
at any meeting of shareholders.
Section 2.08 Quorum. One-half of the total voting power of the outstanding
shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders. If a quorum is
present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power represented by
shares at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject shall constitute
action by the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by
classes is required by the laws of the state of incorporation of the corporation
or the Articles of Incorporation. If less than one-half of the outstanding
voting power is represented at a meeting, a majority of the voting power
represented by shares so present may adjourn the meeting from time to time
without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be
present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
Section 2.09 Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share of the corporation
entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to vote
at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the
shares of any class or series of stock are determined and specified as greater
or lesser than one vote per share in the manner provided by the Articles of
Incorporation.
Section 2.10 Proxies. At each meeting of the shareholders, each shareholder

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION, INSURANCE, AND
OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CONTRACTS
Section 8.01 Indemnification: Third Party Actions. The corporation shall
have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgement in its favor by reason of
the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving 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 him or her in connection with any such action, suit or 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 interest of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or
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, he or she had reasonable
cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 8.02 Indemnification: Corporate Actions. The corporation shall have
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving 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) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit, 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, except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such a person shall have
been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of
his or her duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought shall determine on application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the
case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 8.03 Determination. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections
8.01 and 8.02 hereof, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he
or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. Any
other indemnification under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, shall be made to the
corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the officer, director,
employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof. Such
determination shall be made either (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority
of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit,
or proceeding; or (ii) by independent legal counsel on a written opinion; or
(iii) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum of shareholders at any
meeting duly called for such purpose.
Section 8.04 General Indemnification. The indemnification provided by this
Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other indemnification granted under
any provision of any statute, in the corporation's Articles of Incorporation,
these Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such a person.
<PAGE>
Section 8.05 Advances. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding as contemplated in this Section may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or
proceeding upon a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors and upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officers, employee,
or agent to repay such amount or amounts unless if it is ultimately determined
that he or she is to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by this
Section.
Section 8.06 Scope of Indemnification. The indemnification authorized by
this Section shall apply to all present and future directors, officers,
employees, and agents of the corporation and shall continue as to such persons
who cease to be directors, officers, employees, or agents of the corporation,
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of
all such persons and shall be in addition to all other indemnification permitted
by law.
8.07 Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, employee, or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or
her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him or her against any such liability and under the laws of the state
of incorporation, as the same may hereafter be amended or modified.
