Item 1. Description of Business
CNH Holdings Company, a Nevada corporation, f/k/a Coral Companies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was incorporated on
April 15, 1987, under the name of I.S.B.C. Corp. On January 28,
1988, the Company completed an initial public offering of units
consisting of one share of the common stock of the Company ("Common
Stock") and one Class A Warrant, all of the latter of which have
either expired or been exercised. On June 27, 1988, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding shares of Coral Group, Inc., a
privately-held Colorado corporation ("Coral Group") formed in 1984
and then principally engaged in the development and marketing of
computer software programs. During fiscal 1990, the Company formed
two additional subsidiaries, Coral Telesystems, Inc ("CTI"), and
Coral Pacific, Inc. ("Pacific"), both of which were Colorado
corporations. Through fiscal 1991, the business of the Company was
conducted solely through Coral Group, CTI and Pacific.
During fiscal 1991, the Company defaulted on all of its outstanding
obligations to its financial institution, which was secured by all
of the assets of the Company,including the shares of Coral Group,
CTI and Pacific. The Company voluntarily transferred all of the
security for this debt to the financial institution in exchange for
an acknowledgment of full and complete satisfaction of all
remaining liabilities of the Company to the institution. All
licenses which the Company had regarding its software were
terminated without liability and returned to the original licensor,
and all leases which the Company had were similarly terminated
without liability. Finally, all tax and accounts payable owed by
the Company were paid in full. The Company then ceased operations
in the computer software field.
In April, 1996, the Company held a special meeting of its board of
directors (the "Board of Directors"). The purpose of the meeting
was to (i) discuss and take action on all corporate matters which
had taken place since the date of the last meeting of the board,
including the filing of all delinquent reports by the Company with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"),
(ii) appoint independent Certified Public Accountants to audit the
books and records of the Company since 1990, (iii) discuss the
financial condition of the Company and implement an appropriate
course of action and (iv) discuss all other matters then pending
before the Company. At the meeting, the Board of Directors adopted
a new plan of business for the Company, that being to begin a
search for a new business opportunity. In order to implement this
new plan of business, however, the Board of Directors had to
implement a number of curative measures. Firstly, an attorney was
engaged to assist in general corporate matters and the filing of
all delinquent reports with the Commission. Secondly, a new
auditor was engaged to audit the books and records of the Company
since 1990, prepare and file all necessary federal and state income
tax forms and compile the financial information necessary for the
filing of all quarterly reports by the Company with the Commission.
Thirdly, in order to pursue its business plan, the Company elected
to (i) change its name, (ii) change its domicile; (iii) reverse
split its Common Stock, (iv) bring itself current in the filing of
reports with the Commission and (v) file all the reports required
by federal and state regulatory and taxing authorities. On May 31,
1996, the Company changed its name to CNH Holdings Company and its
domicile to Nevada, and reverse split its Common Stock on a one for
one thousand (1:1,000) basis. The foregoing resulted in the
incurrence by the Company of obligations which were satisifed
through the issuance of of Common Stock, which resulted in a change
of control of the Company. The Company is now current in its
reports with the Commission, all tax filings have been made with
the appropriate federal and state agencies and all information
concerning the foregoing has been disseminated to the public.
Item 2. Description of Property
The Company, as of the date of this report, owned no real or
personal property, tangible or intangible. Conversely, the Company
had no liabilities which had not either been paid in their entirety
or fully provided for. The executive offices of the Company are
being provided free of charge by its attorney on a month-to-month
basis. These offices are located at 4221 East Pontatoc Canyon
Drive, Tucson, Arizona 85718. The telephone number at this address
is (520) 577-6611.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
No material legal proceedings to which the Company (or any officer
or director of the Company, or any affiliate or owner of record or
beneficially of more than five percent of the Common Stock, to
management's knowledge) is a party or to which the property of the
Company is subject is pending, and no such material proceeding is
known by management of the Company to be contemplated.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no meetings of security holders during the period
covered by this report; thus, this item is not applicable. The
shareholders of the Company did, however, act by consent, as
allowed by state law, on one occasion subsequent to the period
covered by this report. These actions are described in their
entirety under Item 1, above.
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters
There is no active trading market for the Common Stock. The Common
Stock is not listed on any exchange and is not quoted or traded on
the over-the-counter market. Currently, no broker maintains a
position or deals in the Common Stock and no bid or asked prices
are quoted in the pink sheets or any local newspaper.
On May 3, 1996, the Company effected a reverse one for one thousand
(1:1,000) capital share split. Concurrently, the authorized
capitalization of the Company was increased to 10,000,000 common
shares, $.001 par value per share, and 1,000,000 preferred shares,
$.01 par value. As of July 31, 1996, there were approximately
400,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, held of
record by approximately 1,000 shareholders. There were no
preferred shares outstanding.
The Company has paid no dividends on the Common Stock since
inception and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable
future. There are, however, no restrictions on the payment of
dividends.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The Company's had no revenues, operating or otherwise, during the
fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, March 31, 1995, March 31, 1994,
March 31, 1993, March 31, 1992, or March 31, 1991. Correspondingly,
all expenses during these periods were administrative in nature and
immaterial in amount. Thus, no meaningful comparison can be made
between these fiscal years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has had no liquidity sources since fiscal 1990. A
capital infusion subsequent to the period covered by this report
provided for the payment of all administrative expenses incurred.
Compliance with Beneficial Ownership Reporting Rules
Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange
Act"), requires the executive officers and directors of the
Company, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the
Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of
changes in ownership with the Commission. These officers,
directors and shareholders are alsorequired to furnish the Company
with copies of certain of these reports. Based solely on a review
of copies of reports furnished to the Company during its fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995, and thereafter, or written
representations, if any, received by the Company from these persons
that no other reports were required, the Company believes that,
during 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996, all applicable
Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Coral Companies, Inc.
We have audited the balance sheet of Coral Companies, Inc. as of
March 31, 1992 and 1991, and the related statements of income
(loss) and stockholders' equity for the years then ended. 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 Coral
Companies, Inc. as of March 31, 1992 and 1991, and the results of
its operations for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of the
Company through December 31, 1990, at which time the Company
discontinued operations. Statements of cash flows have been omitted
for this reason.

1.
Organization and Principles of Consolidation
I.S.B.C. Corp. was incorporated in Delaware on April 15, 1987. On
January 29, 1988, I.S.B.C. Corp. completed a public offering of
800,000 units at a price of $.50 per unit. Each unit consisted on
one share of common stock ($.0005 par value) and three redeemable
warrants. Each Class A redeemable warrant entitled to holder to
purchase one additional share of common stock at $.625 per share
through December 4, 1988. Each class B warrant entitled the holder
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $.875
per share through December 4, 1989. Each Class C redeemable
warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock
at an exercise price of $1.125 per share through December 4, 1990.
During the year ended March 31, 1989, 782,424 A warrants, 100,675
B warrants and 54,099 C warrants were exercised for a total of
937,197 additional shares issued and total capital contribution of
$491,703. On May 25, 1989, the Company called the outstanding
Class B warrants for redemption. Approximately 99% of the Class B
warrants were exercised prior to the June, 26, 1989 redemption
date. During the period ended March 31, 1990, 690,416 Class B
warrants and 21,131, Class C warrants were exercised for a total of
711,547 additional shares issued and a total capital contribution
of $565,438 after expenses. The Company may call the remaining
Class C warrants for redemption at $.0005 per warrant upon thirty
days notice. Warrant holders then have 30 days within which to
exercise their warrants, after which time the warrants are void.
All warrants had expired as of March 31, 1992.
On June 27, 1988, I.S.B.C. Corp. issued 21,000,000 shares of its
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Coral
Group, Inc. Subsequent to the exchange of stock, I.S.B.C. Corp.
changed its name to Coral Companies, Inc. Coral Group, Inc. was
incorporated on March 12, 1984, and commenced operations in
November 1984. Coral Group, Inc.'s primary business is the
marketing of computer hardware and software as well as providing
consulting services, installation support, training programs and
software maintenance for its customers. Since the shareholders of
Coral Group, Inc. owned approximately 85% of Coral Companies, Inc.
immediately after the exchange, the stock exchange has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Coral Companies, Inc. by
Coral Group, Inc.
The Company ceased operations as of December 31, 1990, and has not
resumed operations since that time. Operations reported for March
31, 1991 are those reported through December 31, 1990, with no
subsequent activity.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Software Development Costs
Computer software development costs are expensed until
technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred
from that time until the product is available for general release
to customers are capitalized. Technological feasibility for the
Company's computer software products is based upon achievement of
a detail program design free of high-risk development issues. The
establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing
assessment of recoverability of capitalized computer software
development costs requires considerable judgment by management with
respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to,
technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues,
estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware
technology.
Capitalized software costs are amortized on a product-by-product
basis. The annual amortization is the greater of: a. the ratio
that current gross revenue for a products bears to the total of
current and anticipated future gross revenue for that product; or
b. the straight-line method over five years. Routine maintenance
of existing products is charged to expense as incurred.
During the year ended March 31, 1990, the Company increased the
estimated useful lives of its original software product to reflect
the significant enhancements that were made to the product during
fiscal years 1989 and 1990. The change had the effect of
decreasing amortization expense and increasing income before
extraordinary item and net income for 1990, by approximately
$80,000 ($.005 per share).
Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of computer hardware components and is
accounted for at the low of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of computer hardware is recognized upon
transfer of risk of loss to the customer. Revenue from the sale of
computer software is recognized upon physical delivery of the
software to the end user if there are no significant program
modifications required. In the event the software requires
significant modification before installation by the user, revenue
on the sale, including revenue from performing the modification is
recognized on the percentage of completion method over the period
required to complete the modification.
Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are
performed if the services are provided on an hourly basis, or on
the percentage of completion basis over the period of the contract
if the contract specifies a fixed price for the service.
Development contract costs in excess of contract revenue are
capitalized if, in management's opinion, the software product
developed has future sales potential which allows the Company to
realize its cost. If revenues exceed contract costs, they are
recognized upon completion of the contract (Note 7).
Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization is computed on the straight-line method based on an
estimated useful life of five years.
Deferred Charges
Costs incurred to acquire marketing rights for software products
are deferred until the product acquired is ready for sale. Once it
is determined that the product is ready for sale, the costs
incurred are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of
the marketing right agreement. To date, no deferred charges have
been expensed or amortized.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income
tax return, at March 31, 1991, the Company has available net
operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $4,700,000 for
income tax reporting purposes which will expire between 2001 and in
2005. The NOL for financial reporting purposes differs from that
for tax purposes primarily due to differences resulting in the use
of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax purposes and from
software development costs being deducted for tax purposes.
In December, 1987, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
a new standard on accounting for income taxes. The Company has
adopted the new accounting and disclosure rules for years beginning
after March 31, 1992, although earlier implementation is permitted.
The Company believes that the adoption of this standard does not
have a significant effect on its financial position and results of
operations.
3. Recapitalization
On June 12, 1989, the Company announced a plan to recapitalized the
Company. Under the recapitalization plan, effective July 20, 1989,
the Company reverse split its common stock on a 1 for 50 basis,
changed the par value to $.0005 per share, decreased the authorized
common shares to 50,000,000 and authorized 50,000,000 of preferred
stock. Also management and certain other shareholders deposited
11,000,000 of their shares, representing approximately 41.2% of the
outstanding shares, in escrow until the Company achieved certain
earnings levels. Effective August 1, 1989, the 11,000,000 shares
held in escrow were exchanged for a new series of redeemable
preferred stock on a one-for-one basis, and the escrow was
dissolved. Upon the effectiveness of the recapitalization plan,
each 50 Class C warrants of the Company become exercisable for one
share of new commons stock at a price of $1.125. The financial
statements have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the
reverse split, change in par value and decrease in authorized
shares.
4. Redeemable Preferred Stock
The preferred stock is entitled to one vote per share, is not
entitled to receive any dividends that may be declared and has a
liquidation preference of $.02 per share. The liquidation
preference of $220,000 has been reclassified from common
stockholders' equity to preferred stock. The preferred stock is
convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis upon the
achievement by the Company of certain specified pre-tax earnings,
commencing with the year ending March 31, 1990. The preferred
stock is mandatorily redeemable by the Company on June 30, 1999, at
the price of $.001 per share, $11,000 for all preferred stock
currently outstanding.
Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure
The former auditors of the Company, Laventhol & Horwath, went out
of business during 1993. The Company, therefore, retained the
services of Halliburton, Hunter & Associates, P.C. The decision
to change was approved by the board governing the Company, which
has no standing audit or similar committee. The Company has had no
disagreement with its accountants on any matter of accounting
principal or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure which would have caused either of the
accountants to make reference in their respective reports upon the
subject matter of the disagreement. Further, the principal
accountants' respective reports on the financial statements does
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or
qualification as to audit scope or accounting principle.

ARTICLE IV
Capital
Section 4.1 Classes of Shares. The proprietary interest of the
Corporation shall hereafter be divided into two classes of stock,
which are collectively referred to herein as "Shares." The first
is
a class of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and the second
a class of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. (An
individual share within the respective classes of stock shall be
referred to appropriately as either a "Common Share" or a
"Preferred
Share.") The Corporation has the authority to issue 10,000,000
Common Shares and 1,000,000 Preferred Shares. The authority of the
Corporation to issue shares may be limited by resolution of the
board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors").
Shares may be issued from time to time for such consideration in
money or property (tangible or intangible) or labor or services
actually performed as the Board of Directors may determine in their
sole judgment and without the necessity of action by the holders of
Shares. Common Shares may be issued in series. Shares may not be
issued until paid for and, when issued, are nonassessable.
Fractional Shares may not be issued by the Corporation and, in the
event fractional shares are or may become outstanding, the
Corporation shall redeem said shares at the then market price.
Section 4.2 Preferred Shares. The Board of Directors is
authorized
to act by resolution, subject to limitations prescribed by the laws
of the State of Nevada, these Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws
of the Corporation (the "Bylaws"), and previous resolutions by the
Board of Directors limiting this authorization, to provide for the
issuance of Preferred Shares in series. To exercise this authority
the Board of Directors must first designate the series so
established, and, secondly, fix and determine the relative rights,
preferences, and limitations of the Preferred Shares in the series
established to the extent not fixed and determined by these
Articles
of Incorporation. The extent of this authority, with respect to
each series established, is to be determined by reference to the
"Nevada Corporation Code," articles 1 through 10, inclusive, of
title 7, Nevada Revised States, as amended. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this authority includes fixing and
determining the following:
(a) The number of Preferred Shares which may be issued under
the series established, and the designation of such series;
(b) The rate of dividend on Preferred Shares of that series,
if any, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends shall
be
cumulative, and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends shall
begin accruing;
(c) Whether Preferred Shares of that series may be redeemed,
and, if redeemable, the redemption price, terms, and conditions of
redemption;
(d) Whether to establish a sinking fund or make other
provisions for the redemption or purchase of Preferred Shares of
that series;
(e) The amount payable per Preferred Share of that series in
the event of the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntarily or involuntarily;
(f) Voting powers, if any, of the series; and
(g) Whether the series shall have conversion privileges, and,
if convertible, the terms and conditions upon which Preferred
Shares
of that series shall be convertible, including, without limitation,
the provision, if any, for adjustment of the conversion rate and
the
payment of additional amounts by holders of such shares upon the
exercise of this privilege.
Irrespective of the limitations set forth in subsection (a) of this
section, the Board of Directors may, at any time after the number
of
Preferred Shares authorized under a series has been established,
authorize the issuance of additional Preferred Shares of the same
series or reduce the number of Preferred Shares authorized under
such series. All Preferred Shares shall be identical to each other
in all respects, except as to those relative rights, preferences,
and limitations established by the Board of Directors pursuant to
its authority as determined by reference to the Nevada Corporation
Code and as established in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive,
of this section, as to which there may be variations between
series.
Section 4.3 Voting. Each record holder of Common Shares (and to
the extent, if any, provided by the laws of the State of Nevada or
by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to the authority set
forth
in Section 4.2(f). of this article each record holder of Preferred
Shares) shall have one vote on each matter submitted to a vote for
each Share standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.
Unless otherwise required under the laws of the State of Nevada,
these Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or the resolution of
the Board of Directors creating any series of Preferred Shares, no
matter submitted to a Shareholder vote shall require the approval
of
a class or series of Shares voting separately.
Section 4.4 Quorum. At all meetings of Shareholders, one-third
(1/3) of the Shares entitled to vote at such meeting, whether
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum and at
any meeting at which a quorum is present the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Shares represented at such meeting and entitled to
vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the Shareholders.
ARTICLE V
RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 5.1 Cumulative Voting. Shareholders are not entitled to
cumulative voting unless expressly provided to the contrary by
resolution of the Board of Directors in establishing a series
within
a class of Shares.
Section 5.2 Preemptive Rights. Shareholders shall not be entitled
to any preemptive or similar rights, including, without limitation,
any preemptive or similar right to purchase, subscribe for, or
otherwise acquire unissued or treasury Shares of the Corporation
that may be issued at any time, or to purchase, subscribe for, or
otherwise acquire any options, warrants, or privileges to purchase,
subscribe for, or otherwise acquire any such unissued or treasury
Shares, or to purchase, subscribe for, or otherwise acquire bonds,
notes, debentures, or other securities convertible into or carrying
options, warrants, or privileges to purchase, subscribe for, or
otherwise acquire any such unissued or treasury Shares unless
expressly provided to the contrary by resolution of the Board of
Directors in establishing a series within a class of Shares.

transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its
directors
or officers or any other corporation, firm, association,
or entity in which one or more directors of the Corporation are
directors or officers or are financially interested shall be either
void or voidable solely because of such relationship or interest,
or
solely because such directors are present at the meeting of the
Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorized,
approved, or ratified such contract or transaction, or solely
because their votes were counted for such purpose if: (a) the
fact
of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board
of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves, or ratifies

purpose without counting the votes or consents of such interested
persons; (b) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed

transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its
employees, fiduciaries, or agents or between the Corporation and
any
corporation, firm, association, or entity of which one of the
employees, fiduciaries, or agents of the Corporation is a director,

ARTICLE IX
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Corporate Opportunity. The officers, directors, and
other members of management of the Corporation shall be subject to
the doctrine of "corporate opportunities" only insofar as this
doctrine applies to business opportunities in which the Corporation
has expressed an interest as determined from time to time by the
Board of Directors through resolutions appearing in the minutes of
the Corporation. Once such areas of interest are delineated, all
business opportunities within such areas of interest which come to
the attention of the officers, directors, and other members of
management of the Corporation shall be disclosed promptly to the
Corporation and made available to it. The Board of Directors may
reject any business opportunity. Until such time as the
Corporation, through its Board of Directors, has designated an area
of interest, the officers, directors, and other members of
management of the Corporation shall be free to engage in such areas
of interest on their own. This doctrine shall not limit the right
of any officer, director, or other member of management of the
Corporation to continue a business existing prior to the time that
an area of interest is designated by the Corporation. This
provision shall not be construed to release any employee of the
Corporation (other than an officer, director, or other member of
management) from any duties which he may have to the Corporation;
additionally, an agreement between the Corporation and an officer,
director, or other member of the management of the Corporation may
expressly modify this article to such extent as the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion may determine.
Section 9.2 Indemnification. The Bylaws shall set forth the
indemnification rights available to officers, directors, employees
and agents.

be taken by the vote or concurrence of a majority of such Shares or
class or series thereof.
ARTICLE XI
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES
The Corporation has the right, by appropriate action, to impose
restrictions upon the transfer of any of its Shares, or any
interest
therein; provided, however, that such restrictions or the substance
thereof shall be set forth upon the face or back of the
certificates
representing such Shares.
ARTICLE XIII

The Bylaws of the Corporation may contain any provision for the
regulation and management of the affairs of the Corporation not

Bylaws or to adopt new Bylaws.

Corporation Code.

Section 3.2. Performance of Duties. A director shall perform his
duties in good faith, including his duties as a member of any

subject to the business judgment rule and each director shall be
free from liability to the full extent provided by the Nevada
Corporation Code.
Section 3.3. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The number of

shareholders. The directors shall be elected at each annual
meeting
of shareholders. Each director shall hold office until the next
annual meeting of shareholders and thereafter until his successor
shall have been elected and qualified. Directors shall be 18 years
of age or older, but need not be residents of Nevada or
shareholders. Directors shall be removable in the manner provided
by the Nevada Corporation Code.
Section 3.4. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by
giving notice (either oral or written) of his resignation to the

effect at the date of receipt of such notice or at any later time
specified therein and, unless otherwise specified therein, the
acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective.
Section 3.5. Removal. Except as otherwise provided in the
articles
of incorporation or in these bylaws, any director may be removed,
either with or without cause, at any time by the affirmative vote
of
the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
stock entitled to vote for the election of directors at a special
meeting of the shareholders called and held for such purpose.
Section 3.6. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the board may be
filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors though less than a quorum.

meetings
without other notice than such resolution.
Section 3.8. Notice. Notice of any special meeting shall be given

director may be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in
attending any meeting and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at

any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 3.12. Committees. The board, by resolution adopted by a
majority elected and qualified at the time of the resolution, may
designate two or more directors to constitute an executive or any
other committee, which shall have and may exercise all of the
authority of the board or such lesser authority as may be set forth
in said resolution. No such delegation of authority shall operate
to relieve the board or any director from any responsibility
imposed
by law. The board shall at any time have the power to fill
vacancies in, to change the size or constituent membership of and
to
discharge any committee in whole or in part. Each committee shall
keep a written record of its acts and proceedings and shall submit
this record to the board at each regular meeting thereof and at
such
other times as may be requested by the board. Failure to submit
this record or of the board to approve any action set forth therein
shall not invalidate any action taken by the committee to the
extent
the action was carried out prior to the time it was or should have
been submitted to the board.
Section 3.13. Informal Action by Directors. Any action required
or permitted to be taken at a meeting of directors, or at any
meeting of any committee of directors, may be taken without a
meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken
shall be signed by a majority of those directors entitled to vote
with respect to the subject matter thereof. This consent shall
have
the same force and effect as a vote of the directors, and may be
stated as such in any articles or documents filed with the
Secretary
of State for the State of Nevada under the Nevada Corporation Code.
Section 3.14. Meetings by Telephone. Members of the board or any
committee may participate in a meeting by means of conference
telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons

such other officers, assistant treasurers, and assistant
secretaries
as may be necessary, each of whom shall be chosen in such manner
and
hold office for such terms and have such authority and duties as
from time to time may be determined by the board, or which may
otherwise be commensurate with their position. The salaries of
all
the officers shall be fixed by the board. One person may hold any
two offices, except that no person may simultaneously hold the
offices of president and secretary. The officers shall be 18 years
of age or older. In all cases where the duties of any officer,
agent or employee are not prescribed by the bylaws or by the board,
such officer, agent or employee shall follow the orders and
instructions of (a) the president, or if a chairman of the board
has been elected, then (b) the chairman.
Section 4.2. Election and Term in Office. The officers shall be
elected by the board annually at the first meeting held after each
annual meeting of the shareholders. If the election of officers
shall not be held at such meeting, such election shall be held as

office until the first of the following occurs: until his successor
shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified; until his
death; until he shall resign; or until he shall have been removed
in
the manner hereinafter provided.<PAGE>
Section 4.3. Removal. Any officer, agent or
employee may be removed by the board or by an executive committee, if any,
whenever in its judgement the best interests of the corporation will be
served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the
contracts rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or
appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create
contract rights.
Section 4.4. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office, however
occurring, may be filled by the board for the unexpired portion of
the term.
Section 4.5. Bonds. If the board by resolution shall so require,

corporation in such amount and with such surety as the board, may
deem sufficient, conditioned upon the faithful performance of that
officer's or agent's duties and offices.
ARTICLE V

represented by consecutively numbered certificates signed in the
name of the corporation by its president or a vice president and by
the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or by the secretary or an
assistant secretary, and shall be sealed with the seal of the
corporation, if any. Certificates of stock shall be in such form
consistent with law as shall be prescribed by the board. No
certificate shall be issued until the shares represented thereby
are
fully paid. Once issued, shares shall be nonassessable.
Section 5.2. Record. A record shall be kept of the name of each
person or other entity holding the stock represented by each
certificate for shares of the corporation issued, the number of
shares represented by each such certificate, the date of issuance
and, in the case of cancellation, the date of cancellation. The
person or other entity in whose name shares of stock stand on the
books of the corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof, and
thus
the holder of record of such shares of stock for all purposes.
ARTICLE VI
(Indemnification of Officers and Directors)

directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent
provided in its Articles of Incorporation and by the Nevada

the power to execute and deliver on behalf of and in the name of
the
corporation any instrument requiring the signature of an officer of
the corporation, except as otherwise provided in the articles of
incorporation or these bylaws or where the execution and delivery
thereof shall be expressly delegated by the board to some other
officer or agent of the corporation. Unless authorized to do so by
these bylaws or by the board, no officer, agent or employee shall
have any power or authority to bind the corporation in any way, to
pledge its credit or to render it liable pecuniarily for any
purpose
or in any amount.
Section 7.2. Loans. The corporation may lend money to, guarantee
the obligations of and otherwise assist directors, officers and

Code. No loans shall be contracted for on behalf of the
corporation
and no evidence of indebtedness shall be issued in its name unless

general or confined to specific instances.
ARTICLE VIII
(Miscellaneous)

amend or repeal the bylaws or adopt new bylaws of the corporation
at
any regular meeting of the board or at any special meeting called
