On August 29, 1996, the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Agreement") dated as of May 19, 1996 by and among Financing for
Science International, Inc. (the "Company"), FINOVA Capital Corporation, and
FINOVA Business Credit Corp., became effective. As a result of the merger, each
holder of the Company's redeemable stock purchase warrants shall be entitled to
receive from the Company upon payment of the exercise price an amount equal to
$6.40 multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to
which such warrant is then being exercised. The warrants are no longer

being filed to deregister the remaining 2,687,500 shares of Common Stock that
