PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company has authority under Section 607.0850 of the Florida
Business Corporation Act to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent
provided for in such statute. The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers and
directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, including indemnification
against liability under the Securities Act. The Company has also entered into
indemnification agreements with some directors and executive officers wherein it
has agreed to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in
appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of criminal
laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful
or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b) deriving an
improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or assenting to an
unlawful distribution and (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for the
best interests of the Company in a proceeding by or in the right of the Company
to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a
shareholder. The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any
other law, such as the federal securities laws.
The effect of the foregoing is to require the Company to indemnify the
officers and directors of the Company for any claim arising against such persons
in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Company under the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in
the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
The estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution
of the securities being registered will be borne by the Company, other than
underwriting commissions and discounts, and are as follows:
Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee...... $ 7,117
Legal fees and expenses.................................. $ 35,000
Accounting fees and expenses............................. $ 20,000
Printing................................................. $ 10,000
Miscellaneous............................................ $ 2,883
Total.................................................... $ 75,000
ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In June, 2000, the Company issued 273,455 shares of common stock in
payment of $98,955 of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Such sales was
exempt from the registration requirement under the Act.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act.
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement;
(iii) include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution;
(2) for determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each such
post-effective amendment as a new registration of the securities
offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be
initial bona fide offering; and
(3) file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
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 Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. If 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.
