the assets of MRI to the Issuer. As part of the consideration for the sale of
the assets of MRI to the Issuer, Dr. Braff, the sole shareholder of MRI,
received 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

         All of the shares of Common Stock reported herein were acquired in
connection with the sale of MRI's assets described in Item 3 above for
investment purposes. The Reporting Person may acquire or dispose of securities
of the Issuer, including shares of Common Stock, directly or indirectly, in
open-market or privately negotiated transactions, depending upon the evaluation
of the performance and prospects of the Issuer by the Reporting Person, and
upon other developments and circumstances, including, but not limited to,
general economic and business conditions and stock market conditions.

         Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Person has no present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions or events

disposition of all the shares of Common Stock that are currently beneficially
owned by Dr. Braff.
