INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, AND REGULATION 14C AND SCHEDULE 14C THEREUNDER

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following action was taken pursuant to Written Consents of the Majority Stockholders of the Company.


	(1)	The following individuals are elected to and shall constitute the Board of Directors of the Company: Benjamin C. Croxton, Mike Prentice, Peter W. James, Robert C. Kratz and David P. Zazoff; and


	(2)	Ferlita, Walsh & Gonzalez, P.A. has been approved to be the Company’s independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 11, 2008, as the Record Date for determining the Stockholders entitled to Notice of the foregoing. The Company has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Comment Stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Shareholders of record at the close of business February 11, 2008, the Record Date, are entitled to notice of the action to be effective on March 12, 2008. Each share of our common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders. However, because the shareholders holding at least a majority of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock as of the Record Date have voted in favor of the foregoing actions by resolution; and having sufficient voting power to approve such proposals through their ownership of the capital stock, no other consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.

Only one Information Statement shall be delivered to multiple security holders sharing an address, unless contrary instructions have been received by the Company from one or more security holders. The Company will deliver, promptly upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Information Statement, to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy was delivered and will provide instructions to any such security holder how they can notify the Company of their wish to receive a separate copy.

The elimination of the need for a meeting of stockholders to approve this action is made possible by the Florida Business Corporations Act, which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs involved in holding an annual meeting of our stockholders, the Company is utilizing the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our voting securities. This Information Statement is circulated to advise the shareholders of action already approved by written consent of the shareholders who collectively hold a majority of the voting power of our capital stock and shall serve as our Annual Meeting.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information known to the Company with respect to beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock as of February 11, 2008 for (i) all persons who are

beneficial owners of five percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) each director and nominee for director, (iii) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below, and (iv) all current executive officers and directors as a group as of February 11, 2008. Except as noted below regarding director, Robert C. Kratz, the following individuals and entities submitted written consents to the Company to facilitate the action described in this Information Statement and did not solicit any other person or entity with respect to the action taken. Director Robert C. Kratz submitted a written consent to appoint Ferlita Walsh & Gonzalez, P.A. as the Company’s independent auditor but abstained from voting for the members of the board of directors. The number of votes to elect the board of directors was otherwise sufficient without the vote of Mr. Kratz’s shares on such matter.
