INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be
Registered.
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
24,000,000 of Common Stock having a par value of $.05 per share
and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of
$.01 per share.
Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to
one vote for each share held. Shareholder's have the right to
cumulate their votes in elections of directors. Holders of
Common Stock are entitled to dividends on a pro rata basis upon
the declaration of dividends by the Board of Directors.
Dividends are payable only out of funds legally available for the
payment of dividends. The Board of Directors is not required to
declare dividends.
Upon a liquidation of the Company, holders of the Common
Stock will be entitled to a pro rata distribution of the assets
of the Company, after payment of all amounts owed to the
Company's creditors, and subject to any preferential amount
payable to holders of Preferred Stock of the Company, if any.
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,
conversion, redemption or sinking fund rights.
Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is permitted to
issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix
the relative rights, preferences and limitations of each series.
Among such rights, preferences and limitations are dividend
rates, provisions of redemption, rights upon liquidation,
conversion privileges and voting powers. Should the Board of
Directors elect to exercise this authority, the rights and
privileges of holders of Common Stock could be made subject to
the rights and privileges of any such series of Preferred Stock.
The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of making
it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a
third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of the Company.
Item 2. Exhibits.
