                            A-Fem Medical Corporation
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 1999

ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

        A-Fem Medical Corporation is a medical technology company with multiple
product platforms targeting women's unmet health needs. A-Fem has developed
three proprietary technology platforms: one based on its inSync(R) miniform
interlabial pad, another based on its Rapid-Sense(TM) diagnostic tests and the
third based on its PadKit(R) Sample Collection System. A-Fem markets the inSync
miniform as an alternative to tampons, pads or liners for light flow protection.
A-Fem is also developing point-of-care diagnostic products that provide
quantified results using its proprietary Rapid-Sense technology. The PadKit,
currently in clinical trials, utilizes a miniform as a non-invasive sample
collection method for use in testing for certain cancers and other diseases.

Basis of Presentation

        The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, the interim data include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
A-Fem pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although A-Fem believes that the disclosures included herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for
the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of future results. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes to financial statements included in A-Fem's annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Net Loss Per Share

        Basic and diluted loss per share are required to be computed using the
methods prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). Basic loss per share is calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and diluted
loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding. A net loss was reported in
each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
Stock options for the purchase of 3,552,489 and 3,022,550 shares at September
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and warrants for the purchase of


                                                                          Page 5


<PAGE>   6
2,428,656 and 2,520,006 shares at September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
were not included in loss per share calculations, because to do so would have
been anti-dilutive. In addition, shares of A-Fem's convertible preferred stock
and warrants covering shares of A-Fem's convertible preferred stock outstanding
at September 30, 1999 were not included in loss per share calculations because
to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Loss

        In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
(SFAS 130). This statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. The objective of SFAS 130 is to report a measure of all
changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other
economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. The Company
adopted SFAS 130 during the first quarter of 1998. Comprehensive loss did not
differ from currently reported net loss in the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS 137). SFAS 137 is an amendment to SFAS133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" This statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. SFAS 137 also requires that changes in the derivative instrument's
fair value be recognized currently in results of operations unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 137 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company expects that adoption of SFAS 137
will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.

Reclassifications

        Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior year financial
statement presentation to conform to the current year presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF
        OPERATION

        A-Fem Medical Corporation is a medical technology company with multiple
product platforms targeting women's unmet health needs. A-Fem has developed
three proprietary technology platforms: one based on its inSync(R) miniform
interlabial pad, another based on its Rapid-Sense diagnostic tests and the third
based on its PadKit(R) Sample Collection System. A-Fem markets the inSync
miniform as an alternative to tampons, pads or liners for light flow protection.
A-Fem is also developing point-of-care diagnostic products that provide
quantified results using its proprietary Rapid-Sense technology. The PadKit,
currently in clinical trials, utilizes a miniform as a non-invasive sample
collection method for use in testing for certain cancers and other diseases

        In the last year our corporate strategy for the inSync miniform has been
modified from aggressive introductory support of a regional roll-out, followed
by on-going advertising and promotion, to one requiring modest upfront and
on-going promotion utilizing retailers, catalog and on-line, web-based
(internet) retailers such as Transitions for Health, PlanetRx and SOMA.
InSyncminiform.com, launched in July, enables women nationally to purchase our
product. Additionally we are exploring partnering opportunities to assist in the
marketing and distribution of the product in retail outlets.

        A Rapid-Sense test for the detection of Cotinine (a metabolite of
nicotine) is being evaluated for sales into the insurance testing market. A-Fem
plans to manufacture the product and plans that sales and distribution would be
handled through third parties. In addition, A-Fem continues development of a
proprietary test using A-Fem's Rapid-Sense technology for Konica, a large
Japanese industrial chemical firm. A-Fem is also developing a Rapid-Sense test
for a pharmaceutical company. A-Fem plans to continue to seek strategic partners
to fund the research and development for, and assist in the marketing and
distribution of, specific applications of its Rapid-Sense technology.

        The company is conducting clinical studies to submit to the FDA for
clearance of the PadKit as an alternative to the cervical scrape as a
sample-collection system for tests that screen for cervical cancer.

OVERVIEW

        A-Fem experienced significant operating losses during the year ended
December 31, 1998. Further, A-Fem has continued to incur losses in the first
nine months of 1999 and has never generated significant revenues from
operations. A-Fem expects that significant ongoing expenditures will be
necessary to successfully implement its business plan and develop, manufacture
and market its products. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about
A-Fem's ability to continue as a going concern. Execution of A-Fem's plans and
its


                                                                          Page 7


<PAGE>   8
ability to continue as a going concern depend upon its acquiring substantial
additional financing. Management's plans include efforts to obtain additional
capital and to seek potential partnering opportunities. A-Fem has raised
operating funds in the past by selling shares of its common and preferred stock
for consideration totaling approximately $4.7 million during 1998 and
$1.9 million through September 1999.

        A-Fem may not be able to raise additional funding or enter into a
strategic alliance. If A-Fem is unable to obtain adequate additional financing,
enter into such strategic alliance or generate sufficient sales revenues,
management may be required to curtail A-Fem's product development, manufacturing
and marketing activities, and A-Fem may be forced to cease operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, were approximately
$14,000, as compared to approximately $99,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1998. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, net sales were
$57,000, as compared to $367,000 for the same period in 1998. This decrease for
the quarter and nine-month period was the result of decreased levels of
promotional support for the inSync miniform as compared to the levels maintained
during the product introduction and roll-out in the prior year.

        Cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was approximately
$76,000 as compared to approximately $150,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1998. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, cost of sales was
approximately $204,000 as compared to approximately $379,000 for the same period
in 1998. This decrease for the quarter and nine-month period primarily resulted
from decreases in the volume of products sold in 1999 as compared to 1998.

        Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was -454.5% as
compared to -51.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. For the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999, gross margin was -257.0% as compared to -3.3%
for the same period in 1998. Because certain of A-Fem's manufacturing costs are
fixed, the decrease in manufacturing volume in 1999 as compared to 1998 created
a situation of worsening gross margin in 1999 as compared to the prior year.

        Marketing and selling expense for the third quarter of 1999 was
approximately $32,000, as compared to approximately $635,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999,
marketing and selling expense was approximately $273,000, as compared to
approximately $1,938,000 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in marketing
and selling expense for the quarter and nine-month period resulted from
decreased expenditures for advertising, marketing and sales consultants in 1999
as compared to the expenditures required to support the product roll-out in
1998.


                                                                          Page 8


<PAGE>   9
        Research and development expense for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, was approximately $302,000, as compared to approximately $237,000 for the
same quarter of the prior year. For the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999, research and development expense was approximately $812,000, as compared
to approximately $634,000 for the same period in 1998. Research and development
expense increased as the result of additional clinical studies in support of the
PadKit.

        General and administrative expense was approximately $223,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to approximately $271,000 for the
same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of the
elimination of two temporary clerical positions and a reduction in A-Fem's
insurance premiums. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, general
and administrative expense was approximately $715,000, as compared to $706,000
for the same period in 1998.

        A-Fem's operating loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was
approximately $620,000, as compared to approximately $1,194,000 for the same
quarter of the prior year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999,
the operating loss was approximately $1,948,000, as compared to an operating
loss of approximately $3,290,000 for the same period in 1998. This decrease
resulted primarily from lower marketing expenses in 1999 as compared to the
expenses associated with the rollout of the inSync miniform in 1998.

        A-Fem's net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was
approximately $622,000, as compared to approximately $1,216,000 for the same
period in the prior year. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999,
the Company's net loss was approximately $1,971,000, as compared to a net loss
of $3,336,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease reflects the
higher levels of expenses incurred in 1998 to support the roll-out of A-Fem's
inSync miniform, partially offset by research and development expense increases
in 1999 to support additional PadKit clinical studies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        As of September 30, 1999, A-Fem had cash and cash equivalents of
$494,689. A-Fem's net cash position was reduced by $173,680 between December 31,
1998 and September 30, 1999, as a result of normal operating expenses.

        A-Fem expects to continue to incur losses through 1999 and into 2000,
because the costs of research and development are expected to continue to exceed
income from product sales. A-Fem incurs approximately $200,000 per month of
operating expenses. In order to carry out its development plans for Rapid-Sense
products and the PadKit, A-Fem will need to raise approximately $3 million in
addition to the funds needed for its monthly operating expenses A-Fem does not
expect significant amounts of debt financing to be available to it in the near
term, and that it will have to issue additional equity. A-Fem cannot predict on
what terms any such financing might be available, but any such financing could
involve


                                     Page 9


<PAGE>   10
issuance of equity below current market prices and result in significant
dilution of existing stockholders.

FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        The statements contained in this report that are not statements of
historical fact may include forward-looking statements (as defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. Moreover, from time to time A-Fem may issue other
forward-looking statements. The following factors are among those that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements
and should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements: need for
additional financing; uncertainty associated with need for regulatory approvals;
continuing operating losses; results of financing efforts; lack of revenues from
products; market acceptance risks; uncertainty associated with product
development; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the effect of
economic conditions generally and within the medical technology industry; and
the additional factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports,
including but not limited to, the Company's report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998, as amended.

YEAR 2000

        A-Fem has conducted a review of its computer systems' devices,
applications and manufacturing equipment to identify those areas that could be
affected by Year 2000 noncompliance. All of the computer hardware and software
currently used by A-Fem, including embedded technology that we use in our
manufacturing processes, is Year 2000 compliant. A-Fem believes that a material
failure by one or more of its vendors or customers to comply with Year 2000
requirements in a timely fashion will not have a material effect on A-Fem's
operations.

                              A NEVADA CORPORATION

        1. The undersigned, J. Peter Burke and William H. Fleming, hereby
certify that:

        2. They are the duly elected and acting President and Secretary,
respectively, of A-Fem Medical Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
"Corporation").

        Pursuant to authority given by the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted the
following recitals and resolutions:

        WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to
determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted
to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, to fix the
number of shares constituting any such series and to determine the designation
thereof, or any of them, and

        WHEREAS, the Corporation has not issued any shares of such Preferred
Stock and the Board of Directors of the Corporation desires, pursuant to its
authority as aforesaid, to determine and fix the rights, preferences, privileges
and restrictions relating to the initial series of said Preferred Stock and the
number of shares constituting and the designation of said series;

        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby fixes
and determines the designation of, the number of shares constituting, and the
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to, said initial
series of Preferred Stock as follows:

SECTION 1. DESIGNATION AND NUMBER OF SHARES

1.1 DESIGNATION

        The initial series of Preferred Stock shall be designated "Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock." The term "Series A Stock" as used herein refers to
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

1.2 NUMBER OF SHARES

        The number of shares constituting the Series A Stock shall be 4,500,000
shares.


                                                                         Page 19


<PAGE>   8
SECTION 2. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS; LIQUIDATION RIGHTS

2.1 DIVIDENDS

        The holders of shares of Common Stock and Series A Stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors of the corporation, out of any assets legally available therefor;
provided, however, that no such dividend or distribution may be declared or paid
on any shares of Common Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend or
distribution is declared or paid on all outstanding shares of Series A Stock.
The dividend or distribution on shares of Series A Stock shall be payable based
upon the number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of shares of Series A
Stock would have held if such holder had converted such shares of Series A Stock
into Common Stock immediately prior to the record date of such dividend or
distribution.

2.2 LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

        In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Stock
shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any
of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount
per share equal to $4.00, plus a further amount equal to any declared but unpaid
dividends thereon before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to
the holders of Common Stock. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation, the assets thus distributed among the holders of the Series
A Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full of the aforesaid
preferential amounts, the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed
shall be distributed among the holders of the Series A Stock so that the holder
of each share of Series A Stock shall receive the same percentage of the stated
liquidation preferences of such share as is received by every other holder of
Series A Stock.

        Following the completion of the distribution of the stated liquidation
preferences to be paid to the holders of the Series A Stock, any remaining
assets shall be distributed to the holders of the Common Stock of the
Corporation; provided, however, if no shares of Common Stock are outstanding at
the time of such distribution, the holders of the Series A Stock shall be
entitled to receive, ratably (assuming conversion of all shares of Series A
Stock to Common Stock), all assets of the Corporation remaining after the
payment of the stated liquidation preferences of the Series A Stock as set forth
herein.

SECTION 3. CONVERSION

3.1 CONVERSION RIGHTS

        A holder of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled, at any time, to
cause any or all of such shares to be converted into shares of Common Stock.


                                                                         Page 20


<PAGE>   9
        3.1.1 CONVERSION RATE

        The conversion rate for Series A Stock in effect at any time (the
"Conversion Rate") shall equal $3.84 divided by the Conversion Price, calculated
as provided in Section 3.1.2.

        3.1.2 CONVERSION PRICE

        The conversion price for the Series A Stock in effect from time to time,
except as adjusted in accordance with Section 3.2.2, shall be $3.84 (the
"Conversion Price").

3.2 CONVERSION PROCEDURE; ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS

        3.2.1 CONVERSION PROCEDURE

        Before a holder of the Series A Stock shall be entitled to convert the
same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or
certificates therefor, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the shares of the Series A Stock, and shall give written notice to the
Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall
state in writing therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The
Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at the
address of the holder of the Series A Stock, or to the holder's nominee or
nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
the holder shall be entitled, as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any
fraction of a share as hereinafter provided in this Section 3.2. Such conversion
shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of the shares
of the Series A Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock on said date.

        3.2.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO APPLICABLE CONVERSION PRICE

               (a) Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of an
Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as defined below) after the date of the
initial issuance of any shares of Series A Stock, the Conversion Price shall,
simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, be
adjusted by multiplying the then effective Conversion Price, by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event (with the number of shares issuable
with respect to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) determined in the
manner provided for deemed issuances in Section 3.2.2(b)(v)), and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price, as so
adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any
successive Extraordinary Common Stock Event or Events.


                                                                         Page 21


<PAGE>   10
        "Extraordinary Common Stock Event" shall mean (i) the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock, as a dividend or other distribution on
outstanding Common Stock of the corporation, or other securities or rights
convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents"), (ii)
a split or subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.

               (b) Sale of Shares Below Applicable Conversion Price.

                      (i) If the corporation shall issue any Additional Stock
(as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such
Additional Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to issuance
of such Additional Stock (except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.2.2(b))
shall be adjusted down to a price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the
total computed under clause (A) below by the total computed under clause (B)
below as follows:

                      (A) an amount equal to the sum of (1) the result obtained
        by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding
        immediately prior to such issuance (which shall include the actual
        number of shares outstanding plus all shares issuable upon the
        conversion or exercise of all outstanding convertible securities,
        warrants and options other than shares excluded from the definition of
        Additional Stock by Section 3.2.2(c)) by the Conversion Price then in
        effect, and (2) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the
        corporation upon the issuance of such Additional Stock;

                      (B) the number of shares of Common Stock of the
        corporation outstanding immediately after such issuance (including the
        shares deemed outstanding as provided in clause (A) above).

                      (ii) No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made
in an amount less than one cent per share, provided, that any adjustments which
are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward
and shall be taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made to the
Conversion Price. Except as provided in Sections 3.2.2(b)(v)(C) and (D) below,
no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall have the effect of increasing the
Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.

                      (iii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor
before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or
incurred by the corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with
the issuance and sale thereof.

                      (iv) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than
cash shall be deemed to be the fair


                                                                         Page 22

value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective
of any accounting treatment.

                      (v) In the case of the issuance of options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
the following provisions shall apply:

                      (A) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
        deliverable upon exercise of such options or warrants to purchase or
        rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued
        at the time such options, warrants, or rights were issued for a
        consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner
        provided in Sections 3.2.2(b)(iii) and (iv) above), if any, received by
        the corporation upon the issuance of such options, warrants or rights
        plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options, warrants or
        rights for the Common Stock covered thereby, but no further adjustment
        to the Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common
        Stock upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights in
        accordance with their terms;

                      (B) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
        deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible
        or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants
        to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
        securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed
        to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such
        options, warrants or rights were issued for a consideration equal to the
        consideration received, if any, by the corporation for any such
        securities and any related options, warrants or rights, plus the minimum
        additional consideration, if any, to be received by the corporation upon
        the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any
        related options, warrants or rights (the consideration in each case to
        be determined in the manner provided in Sections 3.2.2(b)(iii) and (iv)
        above), but no further adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made
        for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exchange
        of such securities in accordance with their terms;

                      (C) if such options, warrants, rights or convertible or
        exchangeable securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time
        or otherwise, for any change in the consideration payable to the
        corporation or in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
        exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, including, without limitation,
        a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the
        Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof, and any
        subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such change becoming
        effective, be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further
        adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance
        of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such options, warrants or
        rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities in accordance
        with their terms; and


                                                                         Page 23


<PAGE>   12
                      (D) upon the expiration of any such options, warrants or
        rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
        expiration of any options, warrants or rights related to such
        convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price shall
        forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been
        obtained had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance of such
        options, warrants, rights or securities or options, warrants or rights
        related to such securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of
        only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
        exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the
        exercise of such options, warrants or rights, upon the conversion or
        exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options,
        warrants or rights related to such securities.

               (c) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.2.2(b)(v)
above) by the corporation after the date of initial issuance of any Series A
Stock other than:

                      (i) Common Stock issued in connection with an
Extraordinary Common Stock Event; and

                      (ii) Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
Series A Stock.

        3.2.3 ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

        If the Corporation at any time after the Filing Date shall make or
issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of
the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event
provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Stock shall receive
upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation which the
holders would have received had the holders' Series A Stock been converted into
Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period
from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such
securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period)
receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all
adjustments called for during such period under Section 3.2 with respect to the
rights of the holders of the Series A Stock.

        3.2.4 ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION

        If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Stock
shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or
classes of stock, by capital reorganization, involving exchange, substitution,
reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares
or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation
or sale of assets provided for below), then the holders of the shares of


                                                                         Page 24


<PAGE>   13
Series A Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert each such share into
the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such exchange, reclassification or other change, as a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Stock
might have been converted immediately prior to such substitution,
reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein.

        3.2.5 REORGANIZATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS

        If at any time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of
shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.2) or a merger or consolidation
of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's properties and assets to any other
person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale,
provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Stock shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Series A Stock, the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or
of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale.

        3.2.6 CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT

        Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion
Rate of the Series A Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Corporation shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms
hereof and prepare and furnish to the holders of the Series A Stock, as
applicable, a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or
the Chief Financial Officer, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

        3.2.7 FRACTIONAL SHARES

        The corporation shall not be obligated to deliver to holders of Series A
Stock any fractional share or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
such shares of Series A Stock, but in lieu thereof may make a cash payment in
respect thereof in any manner permitted by law.

        3.2.8 RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION

        The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting
the conversion of the Series A Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of the Series A Stock from time to
time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with
the laws of the State of Nevada, use its best efforts to increase the authorized
amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of
Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion
of all of the shares of the Series A Stock at the time outstanding.


                                                                         Page 25

following:

        (a) authorize or issue any shares of stock with rights, including
liquidation preferences, superior to the Common Stock;

        (i) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or enter into any capital
lease obligations which aggregate in excess of $25,000.

4.3 STATUS OF CONVERTED STOCK

        In case any shares of Series A Stock shall be converted pursuant to
Section 3.2 hereof, the shares so converted shall assume the status of
authorized but undesignated and unissued shares of Series A Stock.
