FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in
this Prospectus regarding the Company's financial position, business
strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for
future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in
this Prospectus, words such as "anticipate", "believe", "estimate",
"expect", "intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to the
Company or its management, identify forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's
management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to the Company's management. Actual results could differ
materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements
as a result of certain factors such as those disclosed under "Risk
Factors," including but not limited to, competitive factors and
pricing pressures, changes in legal and regulatory requirements,
technological change or difficulties, product development risks,
commercialization and trade difficulties and general economic
conditions. Such statements reflect the current views of the
Company with respect to future events and are subject to these and
other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the operations,
results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity of the Company.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making
an investment decision. Please also note that there may be other
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently
deem immaterial. If any of the following or such other risks actually
occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected.
1. No assurance as to future profitable operations.
There is no assurance that the Company will generate net income or
successfully expand its operations in the future. The Company cannot
predict with any certainty the success or failure of its operations.
2. We depend on our senior management to operate and grow.
We believe that our success depends to a significant extent
on the efforts and abilities of certain of our senior management, in
particular those of Stanton M. Pikus, President and Chief Executive
Officer; Kevin McAndrew, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer; and Jean Pikus, Vice President - Operations and Secretary.
The loss of Mr. Pikus, Mr. McAndrew, Ms. Pikus or certain other key
employees could have a material adverse affect on the Company.
Therefore, we maintain key man life insurance policies and employment
agreements with each key employee. We have insurance policies on the
following officers for the following amounts:
Corporate Officer Amount of Policy
----------------- ----------------
Stanton M. Pikus $1,000,000
Kevin J. McAndrew $1,000,000
Jean Z. Pikus $ 500,000
3. Our executive officers can influence control over our business and
policies.
Stanton M. Pikus, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer,
owns of record and controls beneficially 7% of the Company's Common
Stock and is in a position to substantially influence the election of
a majority of the Company's directors, and otherwise control the Company.
4. We face substantial competition from other training companies.
We compete with a great variety of computer training and management
training companies such as Executrain and New Horizons as well as
divisions of large corporations such as IBM. Many of our competitors
are much larger and have greater development, marketing and financial
resources. Additional competitors utilize non traditional delivery
systems such as the internet, video conferencing and computer based
training. Future competition is expected to be more intense,
especially with the increasing utilization of both home computers and
internet based training. To a great extent, such competition is defined
by pricing, quality and customer satisfaction.
5. We may depend on additional financing in the event of restricted cash
flow.
If the Company is not successful in generating cash flow
from its operations sufficient to sustain its operations, the Company may
need to secure additional financing to develop and maintain its
business. There can be no assurance that additional financing, either
through the sale of equity or placement of debt, will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
6. No dividends and none anticipated.
The Company has not paid any cash dividends, nor does it contemplate
or anticipate paying any dividends upon its Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. The Company's loan agreement with the principal
lender prohibits the payment of dividends without its written
consent.
7. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock could decrease our
stock price.
Approximately 1,685,500 of the Company's presently outstanding shares
of Common Stock are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and thus may only be sold in compliance with an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act. A sale of shares by Stockholders,
whether pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise, may have a depressing
effect upon the market price of the Common Stock. Excluding
any options that could be exercised, the Company, as of the date of
this Prospectus, had issued and outstanding 7,698,022 shares of its
common stock, of which approximately 1,685,500 shares would be
restricted securities. (See "Principal Stockholders.")
8. Authorization of preferred stock may discourage takeovers and
depress stock price.
The Company's Amended Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the
issuance of "blank check" preferred stock with such designations, rights
and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without
stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation,
conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company's
Capital Stock. In addition, the issuance of such preferred stock may
have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an
acquisition of the Company or changes in control of the Company. We do
not have any Preferred Stock issued at this time. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not do so in the future. Other than the
authorization of "blank check" preferred stock, the Company does not
have any other provisions in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
Stock Option Plans, and/or Employment Agreements which may have
an anti-takeover effect. The issuance of preferred stock with anti-takeover
provisions may discourage bidders form making offers at a premium to the
market price. In addition, the mere existence of an anti-takeover
device may have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's
stock.
9. Our share price may be volatile in the future.
Our stock price has been, and in the future is expected to be,
volatile. We expect to experience market fluctuation as a result of a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, current and
anticipated results of operations, our future offerings or those of
our competitors and factors unrelated to our operating performance.
The trading price of our Common Stock may also vary as a result of
changes in our business, operations, or financial results, the
prospects of general market and economic conditions and other factors.
10. We could risk delisting from NASDAQ stock market
Our stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ National Market, and
we are in compliance with all maintenance criteria. If our common
Stock cannot remain listed on the NASDAQ National Market, we would
seek to have it listed on the NASDAQ Small Capitalization Market,
although we give no assurance that this will occur.
If our Common Stock was delisted from trading on the NASDAQ Stock
Market ("NASDAQ") altogether, trading, if any, would be conducted in
the over-the-counter market. It would be traded in the so-called
"pink sheets" or the "Electronic Bulletin Board" of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and consequently an investor
will likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations as to the price of our Common Stock.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks
in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock.
Regulations set forth by the commission generally define a penny stock
to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any
equity security listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and
any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible
assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous
operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least
$5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less
than three years or (iii) average annual revenue of at least
$6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less
than three years. Unless an exception if available, the regulations
require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny
stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and
the associated risks.
In addition, if the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ, or if
the Company does not meet the other exceptions to the penny stock
regulations cited above, trading in the Common Stock would be covered
by Rule 15g-9 set forth under the Exchange Act for non-NASDAQ and
non-national securities exchange listed securities. Under such rule,
broker/dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors must make a special
written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.
Securities also are exempt from this rule if the market price is at
least $5.00 per share.
If our common Stock becomes subject to the regulations applicable
to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our Stock could be adversely
affected. In such event, the regulations on penny stock could limit
the ability of broker/dealers to sell our Common Stock and thus the
ability of purchasers of our Stock to sell their securities in the
secondary market.
11. The failure to be Year 2000 compliant could materially adversely
effect us.
The Year 2000 date issue arises from the fact that many computer
programs use only two digits to identify a year in a date field. We
have reviewed our products and key financial operations systems, and
where required, have developed plans to ensure that our products and
computer systems continue to function properly. If we fail to develop
the necessary plans for the computer systems to continue to function
properly, our business, financial condition and results of operations
may be materially adversely affected. The Year 2000 date issue could
also adversely impact our financial condition and results of
operations if our suppliers, customers and other businesses fail to
address this issue successfully.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Description of Common Stock
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters requiring a vote of Stockholders. The holders of Common Stock
are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of
Directors. Upon liquidation or dissolution, each outstanding share of
Common Stock will be entitled to share equally in the assets of the
Company legally available for distribution to Stockholders after the
payment of all debts and other liabilities. Shares of Common Stock are
not redeemable, have no conversion rights and carry no preemptive or
other rights to subscribe to or purchase additional shares in the
event of a subsequent offering. All outstanding shares of Common Stock
are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
and free of pre-emptive rights.
Non-Cumulative Voting
The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights which
means that the holders of more than fifty percent of the Common Stock
voting for election of directors can elect one hundred percent of the
directors of the Company if they choose to do so.
Description of Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue a new class or classes of up
to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors will
have the authority to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more classes
or series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting
rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences
and the number of shares constituting any classes or series of the
designation of such classes or series, without further vote or action by
the stockholders. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, which
might otherwise benefit the Company's Stockholders, and affecting the voting
and other rights of the holders of Common Stock.
There are no ongoing negotiations or discussions concerning the
issuance of any Preferred Stock. The Class A, B C and D Preferred
Stock was previously issued and are now fully retired. Currently, we
have no intention of issuing any other class of Preferred Stock.
Reports to Stockholders
We will issue annual reports to our Stockholders examined by
independent auditors as soon as practicable at the end of each fiscal
year. The Company will also issue quarterly reports to our Stockholders.
Transfer Company and Registrar
The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock of the
Company is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 6201 15th
Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, 11219.
INDEMNIFICATION
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors,
officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation.
Article XV of the Company's By-Laws contains the following provisions
with respect to indemnification of Directors and Officers:
"The corporation shall indemnify each of its directors and officers
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative to investigative (other than an action by
or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director or officer 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 in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Except as provided herein below, any such indemnification shall be made by
the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth above. Such determination shall be made : (a) by the Board of
Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were or are not
parties to such action, or proceedings, or (b) by the Stockholders."
Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit, or proceedings may be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action or proceedings, if
authorized by the Board of Directors and upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount unless it
shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation.
To the extent that a director or officer has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to above, or in defense of any claim issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, without any further
determination that he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
above.
Additionally, the Pennsylvania Statutes contain provisions
entitling directors, officers and employees of the Company to indemnification
for their expenses (including reasonable costs, disbursement and counsel
fees) and liabilities (including amounts paid or received in satisfaction
of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties), as the result of an action
or proceeding in which they may be involved by reason of being or have been
a director, officer or employee of a corporation provided said officer,
directors or employees acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the charter provision,
by-law, contract, arrangements, statute or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising

initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Canterbury Information Technology, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Canterbury Information Technology, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation ("the Company"), in connection with the registration
by the Company of up to an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, without par value (the "Common Stock"), for the account of
certain security holders of the Company (the "Registration") as described in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement") being filed this date under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
In connection with the following opinion, we have reviewed the
Registration Statement and are familiar with the action taken by the Company
to date with respect to the approval and authorization of the Registration.
We have examined originals, or copies, certified or otherwise authenticated
to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, agreements and
other instruments, certificates of public officials, officers and
representatives of the Company and such other documents as we have deemed
necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. We are
furnishing this opinion in connection with the filing of the Registration
Statement.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, upon the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the shares of Common Stock
proposed to be registered by the Company under the Registration Statement
will be, when sold, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We
hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption
"Legal Matters" in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
LEVY & LEVY, P.A.

$.60 Per Share
Canterbury Information Technology, Inc.
1600 Medford Plaza
Route 70 and Hartford Road
Medford, NJ 08055
Gentlemen:
The undersigned acknowledges that he or she has received and reviewed a
copy of the Private Placement Memorandum dated February 10, 1999 of
Canterbury Information Technology, Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation (the
"Company"), (the Confidential Offering Memorandum or Memorandum). The
Memorandum relates to the private placement of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares
of common stock (the "Shares") of the Company being offered herewith. The
Company is offering the Shares on the terms and in the manner described in
the Memorandum.
It is understood that, upon the acceptance by the Company of the
undersigned's offer to purchase the number of Shares set forth herein, the
undersigned will receive a copy of this executed Subscription Agreement
executed on behalf of the Company.
1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase 300,000
Shares. Except as provided immediately below, the undersigned tenders
herewith a check (the "Check") or wire transfer in an amount of $ 180,000,
payable to the order of "Levy & Levy, P.A. Attorney Trust Account". At the
sole discretion of the Company, the Company may allow less than $100,000 of
shares to be purchased by an individual investor.
The Check or wire transfer and this Subscription Agreement that is
Exhibit A to the Memorandum should be delivered to Levy & Levy, P.A., Plaza
1000, Suite 309, Main Street, Voorhees, New Jersey, 08043, (609) 751-9494.
After the minimum of 350,000 shares ($210,000) has been sold prior to the
termination date, a Closing shall occur upon receipt of good funds and
acceptance of the undersigned's offer to purchase the number of Shares set
forth herein (the date on which the undersigned's offer to purchase shares is
accepted being the "Closing Date"). The Company must also deliver stock
certificates within ten business days of the Closing. If this subscription
is rejected by the Company, or the minimum of 350,000 shares have not been
sold by March 10, 1999, then the proceeds in an amount equal to the amount
tendered by the investor shall be promptly returned in full to the
undersigned, without interest, and this Agreement shall be rendered by the
Company null and void and of no further force or effect.
2. Acceptance of Subscription. The undersigned understands and agrees
that this subscription is made subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Company shall have the right to reject this subscription, in
whole or in part; and
(b) The Company shall have no obligation to accept subscriptions for
Shares in the order received.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Undersigned.
The undersigned understands that the Shares are being offered and sold
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided for in Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"), and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The undersigned further understands
that he is purchasing the Shares without being furnished any offering
literature or prospectus other than the Memorandum, that no documents
relating to this private placement as such have been filed with or reviewed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any administrative agency
charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state. All
documents, records and books pertaining to this investment have been made
available to the undersigned and his representatives, including without
limitation his attorney and/or his accountant, and that the books and records
of the Company will be available upon reasonable notice for inspection by
investors during reasonable business hours at its principal place of
business. In addition the undersigned hereby represents and warrants as
follows:
(a) The undersigned (X) if an individual (I) is a citizen of the
United States, and at least 21 years of age, and (ii) is a
bonafide permanent resident of and is domiciled in the State
set forth on the signature page hereof and has no present
intention of becoming a resident of any other State or
jurisdiction, or (Y) if a partnership, trust, corporation or
other entity, has a principal place of business and is
domiciled in the State as set forth on the signature page
thereof and has no present intention of changing its principal
place of business or its domicile to any other state or
jurisdiction;
(b) The undersigned has read and fully considered the section in
the Memorandum entitled "Risk Factors" and understands that
shares are extremely speculative investments with a high
degree of risk of loss, and there will be no public market for
the Shares and it may not be possible to liquidate an
investment in the Shares; Common stock has not been registered
under the Act or State Securities Laws and may not be sold
until such Common Stock is registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available.
(c) The undersigned is able (i) to bear the economic risk of this
investment, (ii) to hold the Shares indefinitely, and (iii)
presently to afford a complete loss of this investment; the
undersigned has adequate means of providing for current needs
and personal contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in
this investment;
(d) The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters that he/she is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making
informed investment decision;
(e) The undersigned confirms that, in making his decision to
purchase the Shares, he/she has relied solely upon independent
investigations made by him/her and/or by his/her
representatives, including his own professional tax and other
advisors, and that he and such representatives and advisors
have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, officers of the Company and Counsel to
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this
offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the
extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify
the accuracy of the information set forth in the Memorandum;
(f) The Shares hereby subscribed for are being acquired by the
undersigned in good faith solely for his/her own personal
account, for investment purposes only, and are not being
purchased for resale, resyndication, distribution, subdivision
or fractionalization thereof; the undersigned has no contract
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to
any person the Shares or any part thereof, any interest
therein or any rights thereto; the undersigned has no present
plans to enter into any such contract or arrangement; and
he/her understands that as a result he/she must bear the
economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of
time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act
and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration under the Act is available.
(f-1) The Purchaser acknowledges that, except for the historical
material contained herein or in the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") documents attached as Exhibits to the
Memorandum (the "SEC Documents"), the matters disclosed herein
and therein are forward-looking statements under the federal
securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, product demand and market
acceptance risks, the effect of economic conditions, the
impact of competitive products and pricing, product
constraints or difficulties, the results of financing efforts,
actual purchases under agreements, the effect of the Company's
accounting policies, and other risks detailed in the company's
SEC Documents. Actual results could differ materially from
those estimated or anticipated in these forward-looking
statements.
(f-2) The Purchaser is a resident of the state set forth on the
signature page hereto.
(g) The undersigned consents to the placement of a legend, until
the common shares are registered, on the stock certificates
evidencing the Shares being purchased, which legend shall be

undersigned, without interest, and this Agreement shall be rendered by the
Company null and void and of no further force or effect.

pursuant to the exemption from registration provided for in Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"), and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The undersigned further understands
that he is purchasing the Shares without being furnished any offering
literature or prospectus other than the Memorandum, that no documents
relating to this private placement as such have been filed with or reviewed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any administrative agency
charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state. All
documents, records and books pertaining to this investment have been made
available to the undersigned and his representatives, including without

follows:
(a) The undersigned (X) if an individual (I) is a citizen of the
United States, and at least 21 years of age, and (ii) is a
bonafide permanent resident of and is domiciled in the State
set forth on the signature page hereof and has no present
intention of becoming a resident of any other State or
jurisdiction, or (Y) if a partnership, trust, corporation or
other entity, has a principal place of business and is
domiciled in the State as set forth on the signature page
thereof and has no present intention of changing its principal
place of business or its domicile to any other state or
jurisdiction;
(b) The undersigned has read and fully considered the section in
the Memorandum entitled "Risk Factors" and understands that
shares are extremely speculative investments with a high
degree of risk of loss, and there will be no public market for
the Shares and it may not be possible to liquidate an
investment in the Shares; Common stock has not been registered
under the Act or State Securities Laws and may not be sold
until such Common Stock is registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available.
(c) The undersigned is able (i) to bear the economic risk of this
investment, (ii) to hold the Shares indefinitely, and (iii)
presently to afford a complete loss of this investment; the
undersigned has adequate means of providing for current needs
and personal contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in
this investment;

and business matters that he/she is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making
informed investment decision;
(e) The undersigned confirms that, in making his decision to
purchase the Shares, he/she has relied solely upon independent
investigations made by him/her and/or by his/her
representatives, including his own professional tax and other
advisors, and that he and such representatives and advisors
have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, officers of the Company and Counsel to
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this
offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the
extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify
the accuracy of the information set forth in the Memorandum;
(f) The Shares hereby subscribed for are being acquired by the
undersigned in good faith solely for his/her own personal
account, for investment purposes only, and are not being
purchased for resale, resyndication, distribution, subdivision
or fractionalization thereof; the undersigned has no contract
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to
any person the Shares or any part thereof, any interest
therein or any rights thereto; the undersigned has no present
plans to enter into any such contract or arrangement; and
he/her understands that as a result he/she must bear the
economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of
time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act
and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration under the Act is available.

place of business or its domicile to any other state or
jurisdiction;
(b) The undersigned has read and fully considered the section in
the Memorandum entitled "Risk Factors" and understands that
shares are extremely speculative investments with a high
degree of risk of loss, and there will be no public market for
the Shares and it may not be possible to liquidate an
investment in the Shares; Common stock has not been registered
under the Act or State Securities Laws and may not be sold
until such Common Stock is registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available.
(c) The undersigned is able (i) to bear the economic risk of this
investment, (ii) to hold the Shares indefinitely, and (iii)
presently to afford a complete loss of this investment; the
undersigned has adequate means of providing for current needs
and personal contingencies, and has no need for liquidity in
this investment;
(d) The undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters that he/she is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making
informed investment decision;
(e) The undersigned confirms that, in making his decision to
purchase the Shares, he/she has relied solely upon independent
investigations made by him/her and/or by his/her
representatives, including his own professional tax and other
advisors, and that he and such representatives and advisors
have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, officers of the Company and Counsel to
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this
offering, and to obtain any additional information, to the
extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify
the accuracy of the information set forth in the Memorandum;
(f) The Shares hereby subscribed for are being acquired by the
undersigned in good faith solely for his/her own personal
account, for investment purposes only, and are not being
purchased for resale, resyndication, distribution, subdivision
or fractionalization thereof; the undersigned has no contract
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to
any person the Shares or any part thereof, any interest
therein or any rights thereto; the undersigned has no present
plans to enter into any such contract or arrangement; and
he/her understands that as a result he/she must bear the
economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of
time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act
and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration under the Act is available.
