10,829,695  shares,  each  shareholder of the  Registrant  received one share of
common stock in the merged entity for each twenty shares of the Registrant  held

common stock were issued to settle  unsecured  creditors of the  Registrant.  An

are  not  otherwise   satisfied  from  liquidation   proceeds.   All  previously
