APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

At present, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to (a) reverse split the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of between one-for-one hundred and one-for-two hundred (the “Reverse Split”); (b) reduce the par value of the Company’s Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Split to $.001; and (c) increase the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue after the reverse split to 50,000,000. A copy of the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation substantially in the form it will be filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware is attached hereto as Appendix A.

Reverse Split and Reduction of Par Value

As a result of the Reverse Split, each share of Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Reverse Split, will, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each outstanding share will become between one-hundredth and one-two hundredth of a share of Common Stock. Within those parameters, the Board will have the final decision of the ratio of the Reverse Split. The amendment will also decrease the par value per share of the Company’s common stock to $.001. The decrease in the par value per share will reduce the Company’s capital stock accounts. For purposes of this description, the Common Stock, as presently constituted, is referred to as the “Old Common Stock” and the Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Split is referred to as the “New Common Stock.” The bid price of the Company’s Common Stock on December 19, 2008 was $0.046.

The Reverse Split will become effective upon the filing with the Secretary of State of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation which states that, upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, each share of Old Common Stock then issued and outstanding would automatically become such fraction of a share of New Common Stock as determined by the Board.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Split

The principal effects of the Reverse Split will be as follows:

Based upon the 47,770,002 shares of Old Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, the Reverse Split of one-for-one hundred and one-for-two hundred would decrease the outstanding shares of Old Common Stock by approximately 99.90% and 99.995%, respectively, or to 477,770 or 238,850 shares, respectively. The Reverse Split of one-for-one hundred and one-for-two hundred also decreases the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000 or 500,000 shares respectively.

The Company will obtain a new CUSIP number for the New Common Stock at the time of the Reverse Split. Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, each yet to be determined number of shares of Old Common Stock, without any action on the part of the holder, will represent one share of New Common Stock.

Subject to the provisions for elimination of fractional shares, as described below, consummation of the Reverse Split will not result in a change in the relative equity position or voting power of the holders of Old Common Stock.

The Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation will be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware twenty days after the mailing of this Information Statement. The Reverse Split would become effective as of the date of such filing (the “Effective Date”).

Purposes of the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Split will decrease the number of shares of Old Common Stock outstanding and presumably increase the per share market price for the New Common Stock. Theoretically, the number of shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the stock, the type of investor who acquires it, or the Company’s reputation in the financial community, but in practice this is not necessarily the case, as many investors look upon a stock trading at or under $1.00 per share as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment in such stocks.

Many leading brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced securities to their clients and a variety of brokerage house policies and practices currently tend to discourage individual brokers within firms from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices pertain to the payment of brokers’ commissions and to time-consuming procedures that make the handling of lower priced stocks unattractive to brokers from an economic standpoint. In addition, the structure of trading commissions also tends to have an adverse impact upon holders of lower priced stocks because the brokerage commission on a sale of a lower priced stock generally represents a higher percentage of the sales price than the commission on a relatively higher priced issue.

The Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders because it would reduce the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding to amounts that the Board of Directors believes are more reasonable in light of its size and market capitalization. The Company requires additional capital for its operations and does not believe that it will be able to raise the necessary capital unless the price of the Common Stock is higher than the current Common Stock price levels. However, no assurance can be given that the Reverse Split will result in any increase in the Common Stock price or that the Company will be able to complete any financing following the Reverse Split.

Exchange of Certificate and Elimination of Fractional Share Interests

On the Effective Date, shares of Old Common Stock will automatically be combined and changed into one share of New Common Stock. No additional action on the part of the Company or any shareholder will be required in order to affect the Reverse Split. Shareholders will be requested to exchange their certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock held prior to the Reverse Split for new certificates representing shares of New Common Stock. Shareholders will be furnished the necessary materials and instructions to affect such exchange promptly following the Effective Date. Certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock subsequently presented for transfer will not be transferred on the books and records of the Company but will be returned to the tendering person for exchange. Shareholders should not submit any certificates until requested to do so. In the event any certificate representing shares of Old Common Stock is not presented for exchange upon request by the Company, any dividends that may be declared after the Effective Date of the Reverse Split with respect to the Common Stock represented by such certificate will be withheld by the Company until such certificate has been properly presented for exchange, at which time all such withheld dividends which have not yet been paid to a public official pursuant to relevant abandoned property laws will be paid to the holder thereof or his designee, without interest.

No fractional shares of New Common Stock will be issued to any shareholder. Accordingly, shareholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of New Common Stock, will, upon surrender of their certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock, receive a new certificate representing the New Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

The combination of shares of the Old Common Stock into one share of New Common Stock should be a tax-free transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the holding period and tax basis of the Old Common Stock will be transferred to the New Common Stock received in exchange therefor.

This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of the Reverse Split may not be the same for all shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to know their individual Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.

Change in Authorized Capital Stock

The Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation which would change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and the par value to $.001 per share. The number of authorized common shares would be increased to 50,000,000 shares.

Discussion of the Amendment

Under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Company has authority to issue authorized and unissued shares of Common and Preferred Stock without obtaining approval from the holders of the Common Stock. The holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock do not have preemptive rights. The Preferred Stock provisions give the Board of Directors broad authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to determine such matters as the dividend rate and preference, voting rights, conversion privileges, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences and other rights of each series. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of any series of preferred stock issued in the future will be entitled to such voting rights as may be specified by the Board of Directors.

It is not possible to determine the actual effect of the Preferred Stock on the rights of the holders of Common Stock until the Board of Directors determines the rights of the holders of a series of the Preferred Stock. However, such effect might include (i) restrictions on the payment of dividends to the holders of the Common Stock; (ii) dilution of voting power to the extent that the holder of the Preferred Stock are given voting rights; (iii) dilution of the equity interests and voting powers if the Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock; and (iv) restrictions upon any distribution of assets to the holders of the Common Stock upon liquidation or dissolution and until the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of Preferred Stock. Because of the broad powers granted to the Board of Directors to issue shares of Preferred Stock and determine the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of such series, the Board of Directors has the power to issue shares of Preferred Stock in a manner which could be used as a defensive measure against a hostile takeover or to keep the Board of Directors in power. However, the Board of Directors has no present plans to issue shares for such purpose.

Purpose

It is important we preserve our flexibility to issue additional shares of Common Stock. The Board believes that the authorization of additional authorized shares of Common Stock is advisable to provide us with the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities to issue such stock in order to obtain capital, as consideration for possible acquisitions or for other purposes including, without limitation, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock through stock splits and stock dividends in appropriate circumstances. There are, at present, no plans, understandings, agreements or arrangements concerning the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, except for the shares to be issued pursuant to existing agreements or upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible securities, currently outstanding.

Effects of An Increase in Authorized Shares

Uncommitted authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may be issued from time to time to such persons and for such consideration as the Board may determine. Holders of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock may or may not be given the opportunity to vote thereon, depending upon the nature of any such transactions, applicable law, the rules and policies of the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) or other market which we qualify Common Stock for trading, as the case may be, and the judgment of the Board regarding the submission of such issuance to a vote of our stockholders. Our stockholders have no preemptive rights to subscribe to newly issued shares.

Moreover, it is possible that additional shares of Common Stock would be issued under circumstances which would make the acquisition of a controlling interest in us more difficult, time-consuming, costly or otherwise discourage an attempt to acquire control of us. Under such circumstances the availability of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock may make it more difficult for stockholders to obtain a premium for their shares. Such authorized and unissued shares could be used to create voting or other impediments or to frustrate a person seeking to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means. Such shares could be privately placed with purchasers who might cooperate with the board in opposing such an attempt by a third party to gain control of us or could also be used to dilute ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain control of us. Although we do not currently contemplate taking such action, shares of Common Stock could be issued for the purposes and effects described above and the Board reserves its rights to issue such stock for such purposes.

The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to this proposal will have no dilutive effect upon the proportionate voting power of our present stockholders. However, to the extent that shares are subsequently issued to persons other than our present stockholders, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share and voting power of present stockholders. If such dilutive effect on earnings per share occurs, we expect that any such dilutive effect would be relatively short in duration. As described above, we believe that the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will provide the flexibility needed to meet corporate objectives and is in the best interest of our stockholders.
