Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay CYOP 98% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the 5 consecutive trading-day period immediately following the notice date.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

CYOP develops and distributes financial transaction platforms.  Its first branded platform is CrediPlay, which CYOP licenses to gaming communities and portals to offer additional revenue sources through pay-for-play tournaments of skill.  CYOP also markets its proprietary website, www.skillarcade.com.  SkillArcade.com is an online games destination where people play popular skill-based games against other players and compete in tournaments to win money prizes.  This website permits game developers and publishers to process transactions and collect fees each time a tournament or game is played.  CYOP earns a fee for processing these transactions.

CYOP has suffered recurring losses from operations and had a stockholders' deficiency of $1,499,037 as of September 30, 2003.  For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, CYOP had net losses of $55,624 and $281,515, respectively.  CYOP's chartered accountants have added an explanatory note to their audit report raising substantial doubt about CYOP's ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of CYOP to continue as a going concern is dependent upon many factors, including CYOP's ability to obtain financing to fund working capital requirements, the degree of competition, technology risks, government regulation (such as the legality of its gaming website) and general economic conditions.  Management's plan, in this regard, is to raise equity financing as required and to keep abreast of technological and regulatory changes that may affect CYOP's operations.

About Us

CYOP's principal place of business is located at 1090 Homer Street, Suite 390, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6B 2W9.  Its telephone number is (604) 685-0696.

Convertible Debentures.  We currently have $125,000 of outstanding convertible debentures that are convertible into shares of common stock at a price equal to equal to either (a) an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date or (b) an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  The convertible debentures are secured by all of CYOP's assets.

Standby equity distribution agreement.  Pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $5.0 million. The amount of each advance is subject to an aggregate maximum advance amount of $70,000 every 7 trading days. Cornell Capital Partners will pay us 98% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately following the notice date. We have paid Cornell Capital Partners a one-time commitment fee of $240,000, payable by the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of common stock. In addition, Cornell Capital Partners will be entitled to retain 4% of each advance under the standby equity distribution agreement. Cornell Capital Partners intends to sell any shares purchased under the standby equity distribution agreement at the then prevailing market price. Among other things, this prospectus relates to the shares of common stock to be issued under the standby equity distribution agreement.

We have engaged Newbridge Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, to advise us in connection with the standby equity distribution agreement.

RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related To Our Business

We Have Historically Lost Money and Losses May Continue In The Future

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we lost $55,624 and $281,515, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $1,872,786 at September 30, 2003.  Future losses may occur.

We May Need To Raise Additional Capital and Debt Funding To Sustain Operations

To the extent that we cannot obtain cash in advance or dedicated financing for our products and generate sufficient profits on sales, we are reliant on either term debt financing or sale of equity to obtain cash to pay our employees and suppliers. Thus unless we can become profitable, we will require additional capital to sustain operations and we may need access to additional capital or additional debt financing to grow our sales.

Since inception in 1999, we have relied on external financing to fund our operations. Such financing has historically come from a combination of borrowings and the sale of common stock to related and third parties. We cannot assure you that financing whether from external sources or related parties will be available if needed or on favorable terms. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to scale back our business operations. Any of these events could be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price. We will need to raise additional capital from either the equity market or from debt sources to fund our operating costs, current liabilities and anticipated future expansion.

We Have Been The Subject Of A Going Concern Opinion As Of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 From Our Independent Auditors, Which Means That We May Not Be Able To Continue Operations Unless We Obtain Additional Funding

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinions issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, which states that our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to obtain financing to fund working capital requirements, the degree of competition, technology risks, government regulation and general economic conditions.  Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Based on our current budget assessment, and excluding any acquisitions which may occur in 2004, we believe that we may need to obtain approximately $2.0 million in additional debt or equity capital from one or more sources to fund operations fo r the next 12 months.  These funds are expected to be obtained from the sale of securities, including the sale of stock under the standby equity distribution agreement.

We Are Subject To A Working Capital Deficit, Which Means That Our Current Assets On September 30, 2003 Were Not Sufficient To Satisfy Our Current Liabilities

We had a working capital deficit of $1,070,869 at September 30, 2003, which means that our current liabilities as of that date exceeded our current assets on September 30, 2003 by $1,070,869.  Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on September 30, 2003 were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on that date. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficit we may have to raise capital or debt to fund the deficit or  reach agreement with some of our creditors to convert debt to equity, or curtail our operations.



5





Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate Significantly

Prior to this offering, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements

Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:

  • With a price of less than $5.00 per share;

  • That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;

  • Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or

  • In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.

Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.

We Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of key executives and consultants, including Mitch White, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Gordon Samson, our Chief Financial Officer.  The loss of the services of either officer could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to replace and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on either White or Samson.  We also have a number of key employees that manage our operations and, if we were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to replace and train replacements. In addition we need to attract additional high quality sales and consulting personnel. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff.

Our Limited Operating History Makes It Difficult Or Impossible To Evaluate Our Performance And Make Predictions About Our Future

CYOP commenced its current operations in October 2000, when it acquired CYOP Systems Inc., Barbados.  CYOP will continue to encounter the types of risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that pursue both organic as well as growth through acquisitions, including the ability to control overhead costs and professional expenses, and to maintain adequate liquid resources as sales revenues increase. Many of these risks and uncertainties are described in more detail elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section. If CYOP's management does not successfully address these



6




risks, then its future business prospects will be significantly impeded and a process of reversing investment in certain areas may have to be undertaken.

If We Fail To Keep Pace With Rapid Technological Change And Evolving Industry Standards, Our Products Could Become Less Competitive Or Obsolete

The market for multi-media transactional technology solutions and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs, intense competition and frequent new product introductions. If we fail to source distribution agreements for saleable products or modify or improve our own products in response to changes in technology or industry standards, our product offerings could rapidly become less competitive or obsolete. A portion of our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

  • enhance and adapt current software products and develop new products that meet changing customer needs;

  • adjust the prices of software applications to increase customer demand;

  • successfully advertise and market our products; and

  • influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.

We need to respond to changing technology and industry standards in a reasonably timely and cost-effective manner. We may not be successful in effectively using new technologies, developing new products or enhancing our existing product lineup on a timely basis. Our pursuit of necessary technology may require time and expense. We may need to license new technologies to respond to technological change. These licenses may not be available to us on terms that give us a profit margin with which to actively pursue reselling these products. Finally, we may not succeed in adapting various products to new technologies as they emerge.

Risks Related To This Offering

Future Sales By Our Stockholders May Adversely Affect Our Stock Price And Our Ability To Raise Funds In New Stock Offerings

Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. Of the 150,998,160 shares of common stock shown as outstanding as of February 10, 2004, 44,990,000 shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction, unless held by our "affiliates." The remaining 106,008,160 shares of common stock which will be held by existing stockholders, including the officers and directors, are "restricted securities" and may be resold in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Some of these shares may be resold under Rule 144.

Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution From Our Sale Of Shares Under The standby equity distribution agreement

The sale of shares pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. For example, at September 30, 2003, at an assumed offering price of $0.03 per share, the new stockholders would have experienced an immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of $0.0249 per share. Dilution per share at prices of $0.0225, $0.0150 and $0.0075 per share would be $$0.0204, $0.0158 and $0.0113, respectively.

As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue under the standby equity distribution agreement to draw down the full amount. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.



7





Cornell Capital Partners Under The Line Of Credit Will Pay Less Than The Then-Prevailing Market Price Of Our Common Stock

The common stock to be issued under the standby equity distribution agreement will be issued at a 2% discount to the lowest closing bid price for the 5 days immediately following the notice date of an advance. These discounted sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

The Selling Stockholders Intend To Sell Their Shares Of Common Stock In The Market, Which Sales May Cause Our Stock Price To Decline

The selling stockholders intend to sell in the public market the shares of common stock being registered in this offering subject to rule 144 restrictions to affiliates and insiders. That means that up to 137,812,500 shares of common stock may be sold subject to various rules such as 144 and insider trading restrictions. Such sales may cause our stock price to decline. The officers and directors of the company and those shareholders who are significant shareholders as defined by the SEC will continue to be subject to the provisions of various insider trading and rule 144 regulations.

The Sale Of Our Stock Under Our standby equity distribution agreement Could Encourage Short Sales By Third Parties, Which Could Contribute To The Future Decline Of Our Stock Price

In many circumstances the provision of an standby equity distribution agreement for companies that are traded on the OTCBB has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market's ability to take up the increased stock or if the company has not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used to grow the company. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of common stock. Under the terms of our standby equity distribution agreement CYOP may request numerous draw downs pursuant to the terms of the standby equity distribution agreement. Even if CYOP uses the proceeds from the standby equity distribution agreement to grow its revenues and profits or invest in assets which are materially beneficial to CYOP the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more so which in turn may cause other stockholders to sell their shares thereby contributing to sales of stock in the market. If there is an imbalance on the sell side of the market for the stock the price will decline.

It is not possible to predict if the circumstances whereby a short sales could materialize or to what level the share price could drop. In some companies that have been subjected to short sales the stock price has dropped to near zero. This could happen to CYOP.

The Price You Pay In This Offering Will Fluctuate And May Be Higher Or Lower Than The Prices Paid By Other People Participating In This Offering

The price in this offering will fluctuate based on the prevailing market price of the common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Accordingly, the price you pay in this offering may be higher or lower than the prices paid by other people participating in this offering.

We May Not Be Able To Access Sufficient Funds Under The standby equity distribution agreement When Needed

We are to a great extent dependent on external financing to fund our operations. Our financing needs may be partially provided from the standby equity distribution agreement. No assurances can be given that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts or at all when needed, in part, because we are limited to a maximum draw down of $70,000 every 7 trading days.

The Conversion of Our Outstanding Debentures Will Cause Dilution to Our Existing Shareholders

The issuance of shares upon the conversion of the outstanding debentures will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders.  We currently have $125,000 of outstanding convertible debentures that are convertible into shares of common stock at a price equal to equal to either (a) an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date or (b) an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  If such conversion had taken place at $0.024 (i.e., 80% of the recent price of $0.03), then the holders of the convertible debentures would have received 5,208,333 shares of common stock.  As a result, our net income per share could decrease, in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline.

Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 150,998,160 shares of common stock outstanding as of February 10, 2004, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of February 10, 2004.  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 10, 2004 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The 12,708,333 shares of common stock represent 7,500,000 shares issued as a commitment fee under the standby equity distribution agreement and 5,208,333 shares that represent the approximate number of shares underlying convertible debentures held by Cornell Capital Partners at an assumed price of $0.024 per share.  Because the conversion price will fluctuate based on the market price of our stock, the actual number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures may be higher or lower.  We are registering a total of 30,000,000 shares to cover such conversions.  To the extent that less than 30,000,000 shares are needed to cover conversions, then the balance of such shares shall be available to be issued under the standby equity distribution agreement.


The following information contains a description of the selling shareholder's relationship to CYOP and how the selling shareholder acquired the shares to be sold in this offering.  The selling stockholder has not held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with CYOP, except as follows:

Shares Acquired In Financing Transaction With CYOP

  • Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. is the investor under the standby equity distribution agreement and the holder of convertible debentures. All investment decisions of Cornell Capital Partners are made by its general partner, Yorkville Advisors, LLC. Mark Angelo, the managing member of Yorkville Advisors, makes the investment decisions on behalf of Yorkville Advisors. Cornell Capital Partners acquired all shares being registered in this offering in financing transactions with CYOP Technology. That transaction is explained below:

Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. In January 2004, we entered into an standby equity distribution agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. Pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to Cornell Capital Partners shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $5.0 million. For each share of common stock purchased under the standby equity distribution agreement, Cornell Capital Partners will pay CYOP 98% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the notice date. Further, Cornell Capital Partners will retain a fee of 4% of each advance under the standby equity distribution agreement. In connection with the standby equity distribution agreement, Cornell Capital Partners received a commitment fee of $240,000, payable by the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of common stock.  We are reg istering 137,500,000 shares in this offering that may be issued under the standby equity distribution agreement.

Convertible Debentures.  The debentures are convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  At maturity, CYOP has the option to either pay the holder 120% of the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest or to convert the debentures into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the lowest trading days of the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  The convertible debentures are secured by all of CYOP's assets.  In the event the debentures are redeemed, then CYOP will issue to Cornell a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares for every $100,000 redeemed at an exercise price of  $0.036 per share.  Cornell Capital Partners purchased the convertible debentures from CYOP in a private placement in January 2004.  CYOP is registering in this offering 30,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the convertible debentures.

There Are Certain Risks Related To Sales By Cornell Capital Partners

There are certain risks related to sales by Cornell Capital Partners, including:

  • The outstanding shares are issued based on discount to the market rate. As a result, the lower the stock price around the time Cornell is issued shares, the greater chance that Cornell gets more shares. This could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of common stock.

  • To the extent Cornell sells its common stock, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. This could allow Cornell to sell greater amounts of common stock, the sales of which would further depress the stock price.

  • The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as Cornell sells material amounts of common stocks could encourage short sales by Cornell or others. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock.

  • Newbridge Securities Corporation.  Newbridge Securities Corporation is a registered broker-dealer that we engaged to advise us in connection with the standby equity distribution agreement.  Guy Amico makes the investment decisions on behalf of Newbridge Securities Corporation.  We paid Newbridge Securities Corporation a fee of $10,000 for such advice, payable by the issuance of 312,500 shares of common stock.  CYOP is registering these shares in this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders.  There will be no proceeds to us from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we will receive the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the standby equity distribution agreement. The purchase price of the shares purchased under the standby equity distribution agreement will be equal to 98% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the 5 days immediately following the notice date. CYOP will pay Cornell Capital 4% of each advance as an additional fee.

CYOP is registering 100,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the standby equity distribution agreement. At a recent price of $0.03 per share, CYOP would receive gross proceeds of $3.0 million.

For illustrative purposes, we have set forth below our intended use of proceeds for the range of net proceeds indicated below to be received under the standby equity distribution agreement. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of $50,000 plus 4% retainage payable to Cornell Capital Partners.

DILUTION

The net tangible book value of our Company as of September 30, 2003 was $(1,593,015) or $(0.0111) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the tangible book value of our Company (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Since this offering is being made solely by the selling stockholders and none of the proceeds will be paid to our Company, our net tangible book value will be unaffected by this offering. Our net tangible book value, however, will be impacted by the common stock to be issued under the standby equity distribution agreement. The amount of dilution will depend on the offering price and number of shares to be issued under the standby equity distribution agreement. The following example shows the dilution to new investors at an offering price of $0.03 per share which is in the range of the recent share price.

If we assume that our Company had issued 100,000,000 shares of common stock under the standby equity distribution agreement at an assumed offering price of $0.03 per share (i.e., the number of shares registered in this offering under the standby equity distribution agreement), less retention fees of $120,000 and offering expenses of $50,000, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2003 would have been $0.0051 per share. Note that at an offering price of $0.03 per share, CYOP would receive gross proceeds of $3.0 million or $2.0 million than is available under the standby equity distribution agreement.  Such an offering would represent an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.0162 per share and an immediate dilution to new stockholders of $0.0249 per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution:

STANDBY EQUITY DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Summary. In February 2004, we entered into an standby equity distribution agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. Pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to Cornell Capital Partners shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $5.0 million. For each share of common stock purchased under the standby equity distribution agreement, Cornell Capital Partners will pay 98% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the notice date. Cornell Capital Partners is a private limited partnership whose business operations are conducted through its general partner, Yorkville Advisors, LLC. Further, Cornell Capital Partners will retain a fee of 4% of each advance under the standby equity distribution agreement. In addition, we engaged Newbridge Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, to advise us in connection with the standby equity distribution agreement. For its services, Newbridge Securities Corporation received a fee of $10,000, payable by the issuance of 312,500 shares of our common stock.  CYOP is registering an additional 100,000,000 shares of common stock for the standby equity distribution agreement pursuant to this registration statement. The costs associated with this registration will be borne by us. There are no other significant closing conditions to draws under the standby equity distribution agreement.

Standby equity distribution agreement Explained. Pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, we may periodically sell shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. to raise capital to fund our working capital needs. The periodic sale of shares is known as an advance. We may request an advance every 10 trading days. A closing will be held 7 trading days after such written notice at which time we will deliver shares of common stock and Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay the advance amount. There are no closing conditions for any of the draws other than the written notice and associated correspondence.

We may request advances under the standby equity distribution agreement once the underlying shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thereafter, we may continue to request advances until Cornell Capital Partners has advanced $5.0 million or 24 months after the effective date of the accompanying registration statement, whichever occurs first.

The amount of each advance is limited to a maximum draw down of $70,000 every 7 trading days. The amount available under the standby equity distribution agreement is not dependent on the price or volume of our common stock. Our ability to request advances is conditioned upon us registering the shares of common stock with the SEC. In addition, we may request advances if the shares to be issued in connection with such advances would result in Cornell Capital Partners owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock. We do not have any agreements with Cornell Capital Partners regarding the distribution of such stock, although Cornell Capital Partners has indicated that intends to promptly sell any stock received under the standby equity distribution agreement.

We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we have not determined the total amount of advances we intend to draw. Nonetheless, we can estimate the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued using certain assumptions. Assuming we issued the number of shares of common stock being registered in the accompanying registration statement at a recent price of $0.03 per share, we would issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. for gross proceeds of $3.0 million. These shares would represent 39.8% of our outstanding common stock upon issuance. We are registering 100,000,000 shares of common stock for the sale under the standby equity distribution agreement.

Proceeds used under the standby equity distribution agreement will be used in the manner set forth in the "Use of Proceeds" section of this prospectus. We cannot predict the total amount of proceeds to be raised in this transaction because we have not determined the total amount of the advances we intend to draw.

We expect to incur expenses of approximately $50,000 in connection with this registration, consisting primarily of professional fees. In connection with the standby equity distribution agreement, we paid Cornell Capital Partners a one-time commitment fee of $240,000, payable by the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of common stock.  In addition, we issued 312,500 shares of common stock to Newbridge Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, as a placement agent fee.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected directly to purchasers by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest, as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of common stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock f or whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Cornell Capital Partners is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the standby equity distribution agreement. Cornell Capital Partners will pay us 98% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal trading market on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the advance date. In addition, Cornell Capital Partners will retain 4% of the proceeds received by us under the standby equity distribution agreement, and received a one-time commitment fee of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock.  The 2% discount, the 4% retention and the one-time commitment fee are underwriting discounts. In addition, we engaged Newbridge Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, to advise us in connection with the standby equity distribution agreement. For its services, Newbridge Securities Corporation received 312,500 shares of our common stock.

Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. was formed in February 2000 as a Delaware limited partnership. Cornell Capital Partners is a domestic hedge fund in the business of investing in and financing public companies. Cornell Capital Partners does not intend to make a market in our stock or to otherwise engage in stabilizing or other transactions intended to help support the stock price. Prospective investors should take these factors into consideration before purchasing our common stock.

Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We have agreed to indemnify Cornell Capital Partners and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $50,000.  The offering expenses consist of: a SEC registration fee of $524, printing expenses of $2,500, accounting fees of $10,000, legal fees of $35,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $1,976. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from the sale of common stock under the standby equity distribution agreement.



16





The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Registration M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling stockholders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, except as noted below, the selling stockholders are not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. The selling stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above w ith respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of CYOP and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this filing. Statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this prospectus that are not statements of historical or current fact constitute "forward-looking statements." For an overview of the company please see the section entitled Description of the Business which follows this section.

Overview

We have been primarily focused on developing our product for market launch.  Management has financed most of our operations to date. Except for funds raised through the sale of the common stock under the standby equity distribution agreement, management is expected to continue to fund our operations through shareholders loans for the next 12 months.  However, management is not under any contractual obligation to provide continued funding.  We will spend approximately $1/2 million in the next 12 months to maintain current operations at our current expenditure rate; not including any marketing initiatives or expansion plans. Additional funds in the amount of $1.5 million will be required for a complete launch of the CrediPlay system including a full marketing budget.

We anticipate contracting human resources as required during the next 12 months.  We do not expect to acquire any material physical assets or significant equipment in the next 12 months.  We will not be performing any significant research and development in the next 12 months as our pay for play software is complete and tested.

We launched our first pay-for-play online video game, Urban Mercenary in February 2001.  In March 2001, CYOP secured the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce as CYOP's merchant account processor.  

In September 2002, we launched a suite of free and "pay for play" games including card, strategy, arcade, sports and multiplayer games, terminating our licensing contract with Bingo.com.  The Bingo.com contract called for our company to provide front end game development and site management.  It was also a licensing agreement under which Bingo.com used our pay for play transaction software.  Bingo.com has approximately 700,000 members playing bingo online.  Bingo.com has devised a new format for bingo which is a skill based game and not a game of chance.  The Bingo.com site began using CYOP's pay for play transaction software in October 2001. 

In order for our Company to expand its operations and realize profits from pay for play online video gaming a number of additional steps must be taken.  We must continue to maintain and upgrade our software programs and our website.  This is an ongoing month-to-month responsibility. Funds for this ongoing software maintenance have been budgeted, which are being loaned to our Company by management.  In the future, we anticipate that the funds required for ongoing software maintenance will come from revenue from licensing fees or system maintenance fees from pay for play video gaming.  Secondly, to increase our Company's exposure and attract players to our website we will be required to complete a full marketing launch of the CrediPlay system.  We anticipate that this marketing launch will cost approximately $1.5 million.  Until we complete a marketing launch we cannot expect large volumes of players for our online pay for play video game.  Revenues will be derived from licensing fees from third parties.  

Going Concern

CYOP has suffered recurring losses from operations and had a stockholders' deficiency of $1,499,037 as of September 30, 2003.  For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, CYOP had net losses of $55,624 and $281,515, respectively.  CYOP's chartered accountants have added an explanatory note to their audit report raising substantial doubt about CYOP's ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of CYOP to continue as a going concern is dependent upon many factors, including CYOP's ability to obtain financing to fund working capital requirements, the degree of competition, technology risks, government regulation (such as the legality of its gaming website) and general economic conditions.  Management's plan, in this regard, is to raise equity financing as required and to keep abreast of technological and regulatory changes that may affect CYOP's operations.< /P>

Results Of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared With The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

For the quarter ended September 30, 2003 CYOP generated revenue of $4,030. The same period ending September 30, 2002 generated revenues of $34,359 including $29,666 from ad serving. Current revenues are now from a wide variety of affiliates and CYOP's proprietary URL.  CYOP had general and administrative expenses of $43,366 for the period compared with $129,719 for the same three-month period in 2002. Software development costs were NIL for both comparative periods ending September 30. This is indicative of completion of development. Advertising and promotion was, $1,522 for the three-month period, compared to $24,772 in 2002.  

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2002 Compared With The Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2001

Revenue.  Revenue increased to $545,123 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $512,930 for the year ended December 31, 2001, from no revenue in the same period in the prior year. This increase is a result of the move away from a primarily a development company with the first proof of concept contract with Bingo.com in September 2001, and the additional revenues earned from a proprietary game site.

Cost of Revenue.  CYOP recorded cost of revenue of  $209,518 during the year ended December 31, 2002 and $300,647 during the year ended December 31, 2001. This significantly decreased, as the direct costs associated with the development work for Bingo.com finished in early 2002.  

Sales and Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses increased to $209,619 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $101,217 for the year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $108,402. This is a result of a settlement with a company with a common director (see note 8 in financial statements) a certain amount of advertising inventory was granted to one of our directors. During the year 2002, $159,209 of ad serving was provided by a director on account of CYOP with a common director and was charged as advertising cost to CYOP. Sales and marketing expenses include principally costs for marketing, co-brand advertising and keyword buys for our site and participation in trade shows.

We expect to continue to incur sales and marketing expenses to further our efforts to increase traffic to our Web portal and develop licensee opportunities with gaming portals. These costs will include commissions, salaries, advertising, and other promotional expenses intended to increase traffic to licensees and improve revenue. There can be no assurances that these expenditures will result in increased traffic or significant new revenue sources.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses consist primarily of contract personnel costs, rent for CYOP's office, legal and audit professional fees, insurance and other general corporate and office expenses, including $92,778 of bad debt for the fiscal year 2002 from $46,500 for the fiscal year 2001. General and administrative expenses decreased to $567,445 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $653,096 for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of 6% over the previous year. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily from the prior year as a result of a decrease in legal and professional fees associated with obtaining clearance with NASD and SEC for quotation of our securities on the OTC BB.

We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support the business, and there can be no assurances that CYOP will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover these expenses.

Interest expense.  Interest expense consists of accrued interest on the demand loans and demand loans to related parties. Interest expense decreased from $177,288 for 2001, to $0.00, however imputed interest expense increased to $30,721 in 2002 from $1,900 from demand loans from related parties. Additionally a significant interest expense has been accrued related to a Canada Customs and Revenue Agency ("CCRA") assessment of payroll taxes due on the Canadian subsidiary in fiscal year 2001. No loan interest expense was captured for the year ended December 31, 2002 as the subsidiary that incurred corresponding liabilities was sold on April 1, 2002; see Form 8-k filed August 20, 2002.

Loss per share and net loss.  CYOP ended the year with a net profit of $603,981 as a result of the gain booked on the sale of a subsidiary of $949,577. The net profit position is a gain of $0.02 per share compared to the net loss of ($751,136), a loss per share of ($0.03) for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

At September 30, 2003 CYOP had a working capital deficit of $(1,070,869) with the deficiency arising primarily from $786,561 in loans from directors, compared to a working capital deficit of  ($518,321) at September 30, 2002 to satisfy requirements for operations for the same period ending September 30, 2002. No assurances can be given that CYOP will successful in realizing sufficient funding to continue operations. While development of the CrediPlay system is complete and operational very little cash is available for the process of marketing and promoting the CrediPlay system and www.skillarcade.com the proprietary site.

Deterioration of funding sources for internet based businesses has continued into the calendar year 2003 creating financial stresses for CYOP. Operations have continued with funding from management, and the convertible debentures. We anticipate the funding will come from the standby equity distribution agreement and from loans from management. 

CYOP's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a continuing operation basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Management recognizes that CYOP must generate additional investment in a timely manner to maintain operations. CYOP plans to seek private placements of equity capital to fund its operations but has no commitments at date of this report for funding.

As of September 30, 2003, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Capital Resources

Pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, CYOP may periodically sell shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners to raise capital to fund its working capital needs. The periodic sale of shares is known as an advance. CYOP may request an advance every 5 trading days. A closing will be held 7 trading days after such written notice at which time CYOP will deliver shares of common stock and Cornell Capital Partners will pay the advance amount, less the 4% retention. CYOP may request advances under the standby equity distribution agreement once the underlying shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thereafter, CYOP may continue to request advances until Cornell Capital Partners has advanced $5.0 million or two years after the effective date of the registration statement, whichever occurs first. The amount of each advance is subject to an aggregate maximum advance amount of $70,000 every 7 trading days.  The amount available under the standby equity distribution agreement is not dependent on the price or volume of our common stock.

CYOP registered 137,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the standby equity distribution agreement and upon conversion of the debentures. CYOP cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the standby equity distribution agreement, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and CYOP has not determined the total amount of advances CYOP intends to draw.

Nonetheless, if CYOP issued all 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a recent price of $0.03 per share, then CYOP would receive gross proceeds of $3.0 million under the standby equity distribution agreement. This is $2.0 million less than is available under the standby equity distribution agreement. CYOP's stock price would have to rise substantially for us to have access to the full amount available under the standby equity distribution agreement. These shares would represent 39.8% of our outstanding common stock upon issuance. Accordingly, CYOP would need to register additional shares of common stock in order to fully utilize the $5.0 million available under the standby equity distribution agreement at the current price of $0.03 per share. At a recent price of $0.03 per share, CYOP would be required to issue 166,666,667 shares of common stock in order to fully utilize the $5.0 million available.

In January 2004, CYOP raised $125,000 of gross proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures.  Cornell Capital Partners purchased these debentures.  These debentures accrue interest at a rate of 5% per year and mature two years from the issuance date.  The debentures are convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  At maturity, CYOP has the option to either pay the holder the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest or to convert the debentures into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the



20




closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  The convertible debentures are secured by all of CYOP's assets.  CYOP has the right to redeem the debentures upon 30 days notice for 120% of the amount redeemed.  Upon such redemption, CYOP will issue the investor a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.036 per share for every $100,000 of debentures that are redeemed.

Consolidated Statement Of Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, CYOP had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $102.  Of that total, CYOP used cash in operating activities of $224,219 and generated cash from financing activities of $224,322.  Cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of a net loss of $281,515 and increase in interest receivable of $67,500, which were partially offset by non-cash expenses of amortization and depreciation of $32,747, imputed interest of $50,351 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities o $60,598.  Cash from financing activities consisted of an increase in due from a director of $224,322.

Critical Accounting Policies

CYOP's consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, CYOP views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on CYOP's consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Our critical accounting policies are as follows: revenue recognition, determining functional currency for the purpose of consolidation; and valuation of long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition.  CYOP derives revenue from online internet transaction platform maintenance. Revenues are recognized when players complete an on-line game. CYOP has no significant performance requirements, and, there are no material uncertainties regarding customer acceptance and collection of the network maintenance fee is deemed probable.

Foreign Currency Transactions.  CYOP and CYOP Barbados maintain their accounting records in their functional currency.  Foreign currency transactions are translated into their functional currency in the following manner.  At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date.  At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.  The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

Long-Lived Assets Impairment.  Effective January 1, 2002, certain long-term assets of CYOP are reviewed when changes in circumstances require consideration as to whether their carrying value has become impaired pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Prior to January 1, 2002, CYOP evaluated long-term assets of CYOP in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financi al statements.



21





Stock-Based Compensation.  CYOP has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation".  SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense related to stock-based compensation.  CYOP accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - - An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51.  This interpretation addressed the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interest.  The interpretation is intended to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in determining the primary beneficiary.  The interpretation outlines disclosure requirements for VIEs in existence prior to January 31, 2003, outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003.  CYOP has reviewed its major commercial relationship and its overall economic interests with other companies consisting of related parties, vendors, loan creditors and other suppliers to determine the extent of its variable economic interest in these parties.  The review has not resulted in a determination that CYOP would be judged to be the primary economic beneficiary in any material relationships, or that any material entities would be judged to be Variable Interest Entities of CYOP.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 30, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

CYOP Systems develops and distributes financial transaction platforms.  Its first branded platform is CrediPlay.  CYOP licenses the software to gaming communities and portals to offer additional revenue sources through pay-for-play tournaments of skill and markets CYOP's proprietary site www.skillarcade.com.  A player's fee is charged every time a tournament or game is played.  This fee is disbursed to the game developer or publisher who owns the game being played, the server operator (portal) who runs the tournament and CYOP, the transaction processor. CYOP has 250 affiliate portals and has processed approximately 2.3 million transactions to date.

CYOP is defining the third phase of the Internet Revolution by developing high-demand content for consumers and businesses alike.  CrediPlay is an online financial transaction network supporting a community of online gamers who compete in skill games to win each other's money. CrediPlay allows gamers to play a game for a one-time fee, or pay-to-play in cash tournaments. One hundred percent automated, it registers players in tournaments, runs the tournaments and pays the winners instantly.  The basic model for business is based on charging a Network Maintenance Fee (NMF) for each game played over the Internet, including Puzzle, Trivia, Action Games, Strategy, Driving/Racing and Adventure/Role Play games.  The player opens an account on-line using any number of merchant processors, including Paypal and Visa, so that he or she may register with, and gain access to any pay-for-play tournament of skill.  After registering, the individual player may then enter into a tournament pool, out of which the winner(s) are paid from 100% of the entry fees.  By structuring the software in this way, CrediPlay has differentiated itself from the I-gambling industry, as its software is neither based on chance nor accepts third party betting and therefore is in compliance with the existing laws of most Internet rich jurisdictions in the United States and Canada.  


We believe that collecting and processing fees through financial institutions and disbursing funds through a revenue sharing model to vertical channel partners in this manner creates market opportunity through revenue sharing and reducing upfront investment costs in a vertically integrated marketing channel.

CYOP also owns and operates a proprietary gaming community, www.skillarcade.com, which was launched in the beginning of September 2002.  SkillArcade.com is an online games destination where people play popular skill-based games against other players and compete in tournaments to win real money prizes. The ultimate goal is to be recognized as the number one pay-for-play Gaming site on the Internet, which we believe will:

  • Establish Brand Recognition in targeted audience areas

  • Direct and generate traffic to the site

  • Build a database of players

  • Convert traffic into Accounts.

  • Build a positive reputation in the gaming market

  • Retain Clients and Establish Loyal client base

  • Drive Corporate revenues

Network Maintenance Fees - - The Source Of Revenue

Gamers wishing to compete in tournaments of skill for money are charged a network maintenance fee ("NMF") each time they access a "pay-for-play" tournament.  Using CrediPlay, the network maintenance fee is split between CYOP, game developers and game server operators.  Tournaments may only last ten minutes.  

Network Maintenance Fees are negotiated and preset among the members of the supply chain.  Game developers, publishers, server operators and CYOP agree on fees and percentages of fees in advance, which are separate from the Tournament Entrance Fee.  The Network Maintenance Fee does not change in proportion to the tournament prize money.  



23





This business model is predicated on licensing the software to online communities, wireless networks and portals with high traffic bases.  Games are either built in-house or licensed from developers and publishers.   A player's fee is charged every time a tournament is played.  This fee is disbursed to the game developer or publisher who owns the game being played, the server operator (portal) who runs the tournament and CYOP, the transaction processor.  CYOP also licenses gaming software on a straight annual fee basis, and does not pay a percentage to these types of game developers.

Pay-For-Play Tournaments Of Skill

A tournament of skill is where competitors play a series of skill games where eventually one person or team is the victor. A pay-for-play tournament is where competitors pay fees to enter the tournament and a prize is awarded to the victor.

CrediPlay allows online gaming server operators to organize and run pay-for-play tournaments of skill.  Competitors pay a Tournament Entrance Fee.  It creates a prize pool, which is disbursed to the winners.  A Network Maintenance Fee is paid by the competitors to cover the costs of tournaments, much like a green's fee for a golf tournament.  The Network Maintenance Fee is portioned to the server operators, the game developer / publisher and CYOP.  The Network Maintenance Fee is how vertical channel members generate revenue.

Pay-for-play tournaments of skill are an incentive-based product.  Online gamers pay fees and participate for the competitive spirit and the goal of winning prize money.  It is a highly motivating marketing strategy for online communities and portals.  It introduces a new revenue model for the online gaming industry.

Tournaments generally run no longer than five minutes and involve five people on average.  Thousands of tournaments can be played per day depending on the number of users on the system.  The systems have been load balanced to allow for 1000 tournaments per second on a single server with each tournament having approximately 5 contestants.  

Network Maintenance Fees collected through the play of tournaments are divided among the game developer / publisher who owns the game played, the server operator (portal) who runs the tournament, and CYOP.  The game developer / publisher receives a percentage (where the game has not been developed by CYOP), the server operator receives a percentage and CYOP receives the remaining percentage.  At the end of each month respective payments are made.

If a gamer wishes to withdraw the funds, he or she posts a withdraw notice and a check is sent to the gamers' listed address or the merchant processor (Paypal or Visa account) is credited back.

The advantages to the CREDIPLAY credit system are:

  • Gamers prepay to open and use accounts in advance of purchases.

  • Using a Crediplay account reduces the cost of merchant transactions on credit cards.

  • CYOP can track fraudulent transactions through transaction reports and easily debit and credit gaming credits to the appropriate accounts.

A pay-for-play tournament of skill is not gambling.  CrediPlay's software is based on the individual player's skill and knowledge, while most games of chance on the Internet are based on algorithms.  Several sets of criteria are introduced that make Skill-Bingo, for example, a competitive game played in tournaments or head to head, where skill, knowledge or a combination of both determines the winning outcome. The following are used to allow for competition between players:

  • Hand-eye coordination

  • Reaction time

  • Dexterity

  • Spatial memory

  • Long-term memory

  • Pattern recognition

  • Organizational skills

  • Strategic planning

  • Game play knowledge, general knowledge and intelligence

Legality

To ensure that CYOP is running games of skill and not gambling, determinations have been made by gaming experts and legal counsel to insure that games and software meet regulatory requirements.  

Games of skill are not ‘wagering' against the house for a prize.  For example, we believe that our model more closely resembles four buddies playing golf. One pays a green fee to play on the course.  One then decides to play skins for money. The golf course takes no part in that, and is therefore in compliance with most legal jurisdictions with respect to the legality of ‘Skill Based Gaming'.

We are unaware of any existing or probable government regulations, which would have an adverse affect on the implementation of our current business plan.  We are relying on American and Canadian legal opinions to ensure that our business falls within current government regulations in those jurisdictions.

CYOP does not profit from the size of a player's wager on his or her own skills. In fact, players don't ‘wager' at all, they simply decide how much of a tournament entry into the pool they are willing to pay. CYOP also does not profit from the size of the cash prize pool, nor does it profit if one player wins over another specific player.  

Even adhering to such a rigorous process doesn't guarantee that every government everywhere will view pay-for-play tournaments as legal. The reality is that different governments have different ways of classifying games of skill and chance. For example, backgammon is a game of skill in the UK, but a game of chance in the USA. All of the information CYOP has gathered regarding a game enables CYOP to work with these various governments and comply with their laws. If a government or jurisdiction informs CYOP that their laws do not allow CYOP to run particular game tournaments, CYOP has the capability to not allow competitors in that specific jurisdiction to play tournament games.  Finally, the Terms and Conditions clearly state that members may not use any of CYOP's sites or services if these violate the laws, statutes, ordinances, or regulations of that person's geographic location.

Our network is organized to generate three core revenue streams: membership fees, pay-for-play network maintenance fees, and credit card processing fees.  The CrediPlay network is operational.  To date, a minimal amount of money has been spent marketing our products and services.  Accordingly, traffic to our site has been limited.  


Non-Competitive Strategy

We are committed to the Linux open source movement, which allows our members to share and contribute to the development of games.  Our members will have access to all information surrounding game development and game hosting.  All resources are available to members except the technology behind our processing network.

We allow members to use our technology to become pay-for-play game developers and game server operators.  We believe that this open source strategy creates new business and integrates and binds members to our transaction network.

We developed the CrediPlay network as a new playing field for the growing number of people playing games on-line.

Distribution Methods Of Our Products And Services

Game And Information Portals

North America And English Speaking Countries

The dominant gaming portals are located in North America and are in the English language. They include GameSpy, MSN Game Zone, Yahoo! Games, Lycos Games, and Pogo (Electronic Arts).  Stung by the overall advertising crunch that has shut down many content sites, operators of free game sites are scrambling for ways to make a consistent profit.  We believe that  the portals that survive will be those that form both short and long-term alliances with other content and service providers, so they can offer new revenue-generating services such as e-commerce, subscription fees, placement fees, and premium content.



25




We have dedicated sales and business development personnel in Vancouver who market our systems through outbound sales tactics. Those are our primary targets.  

CYOP's intent is to partner with portals and to license to third parties in this market place because:

  • Existing traffic - these types of sites are well established and they aggressively market themselves to keep their unique and returning visitor numbers high.

  • Existing databases - these sites have developed large databases of members with sophisticated information.

  • Software built in English - CrediPlay has been designed in English, so integration is immediate.

  • Proximity for business development.

  • Instant revenues - CYOP does not have to spend great amount of resources marketing.

  • The portals need new revenue sources.

Asia/Europe

Most of the up and coming markets outside the English-speaking world are not even online yet, but they are coming online. By making the effort to address non-English speaking markets now, CYOP believes it can establish a competitive advantage over competitors who arrive later on. Although the U.S. accounts for the most of the world's Internet usage by a single country, analysts at Bear Stearns believe that international markets currently hold the strongest growth opportunities for I-gaming; especially the emerging Asian "Digital Dragons."

The opportunity to develop a gaming portal exists in the emerging markets of Asia and Europe.  Marketing to these relatively under-developed areas of the e-commerce world costs a fragment of the same in North America.  China, Taiwan and Korea are being made a priority as they have a high proportion of gamers, strong Internet growth and readily disposable income.  The largest Internet market in Europe is Germany at present, and it is expected to continue its domination in e-commerce.    

CYOP plans to partner with companies in each market, and to localize its proprietary portal and systems into respective languages.  The Partner companies will be expected to handle local issues and drive marketing efforts.   A summation of why CYOP intends to build global portals is as follows:

  • Higher share of Network Maintenance Fees through JV agreements.

  • First in Market - North America is approximately two to five years ahead of the rest of the Internet world, and we believe there exists an opportunity for start-up ventures.

  • Relative ease and low cost of marketing - as compared to the Americas.

  • Long-term revenues -We belive that  future growth in the industry will be driven by extra-American countries.

Our product of providing on-line access to pay-for-play video gaming is not distributed in the conventional sense.  Rather, video gamers log on to our Internet site and register at one of the membership levels to enter play.  We expect that news of our unique site and pay-for-play concept will spread quickly through the on-line gaming community.  We also propose to advertise at venues such as the computer game developers conference, electronic entertainment exposition and various on-line traditional video game sites.  Word of mouth and our targeted marketing plan will effectively be the way our product is distributed.

The video game industry can be segregated into three main technology areas: game developers, platform developers, and game server operators.  Game developers create games to be played on different platforms such as those developed by Sony, Sega and Nintendo, on personal computers or on arcade machines.  With the introduction of the Internet, games are now hosted on servers where players from around the world log in and play.



26




Internet-enabled consoles are ushering in a new generation of interactive gaming with technology that utilizes the Internet to create new dimensions in interactive gaming and which we believe will transform the entertainment industry.  The report outlines three evolutionary changes in technology that will create pervasive gaming:

  • Platforms will connect to the Internet and control TVs.

  • Pipes will deliver content at the speed of Broadband.

  • People will seamlessly switch from playing games to watching TV.

We believe that these changes will force new business models within the industry such as subscription and pay-per-use revenue streams. We also believe that advertising revenue will  increase as interactive media advances technologically.  

Target Market

The myth that most gamers are children also seems to defy the changing gaming demographics. In reality, nearly 75% of PC gamers are adults, with only 30% being under the age of 18.  The Forrester Report indicates that 25% of the on-line population plays games on-line, 49% are women and 51% are men, and they have a median age of 39.  On-line gamers generate an average yearly income of $49,000 US/year and play an average of 13 hours/week.

Industry Players

Console Developers

The video game industry has some giants that are a dominant force in the marketplace.  Sega, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo dominate the game platform market.

Publishers/Game Developers

Electronic Arts, headquartered in Redwood City, California, is the world's leading interactive entertainment software company.  Electronic Arts develops, publishes and distributes software worldwide for personal computers and video game systems such as the PlayStation® and Nintendo® 64.

Blizzard Entertainment® is a premier publisher of entertainment software.  Since establishing the Blizzard label in 1994, Blizzard has quickly become one of the most popular and well-respected makers of computer games.  With blockbuster hits including the Warcraft ® series, the Diablo series, and StarCraft, Blizzard has enjoyed back-to-back number-one selling games, as well as consecutive Game of the Year awards.  Blizzard Entertainment operates a free online game service, Battle.net®, the largest in the world with millions of active users.  

As a known leader in the industry and one of the world's leading developers of best selling software, id Software has forged frenetic titles such as Wolfenstein 3-D, DOOM, DOOM II, QUAKE, and QUAKE II.  With intense graphics and adventure, id creates frenzied demands worldwide and continues to break retail and shareware sales records.  id has proven itself to be genius at more than just software development.  Using non-traditional means of product distribution, shareware channels, online services, and the Internet. id has helped to create a new way to market computer games.  id's titles have become cultural phenomenon's inspiring other developers, while spawning mainstream licensing agreements for movie and book series. id games have been featured on prime time TV shows such as Friends and ER and in the movies The Net, Congo and Gross Point B lank.



27



 

Game Server Operators

On-line, multi-player games allow for the game player to link to game servers hosting the game.  These game servers constitute any corporation or anyone with a server that wishes to host a game.  Game server operators have not had a revenue generating model beyond providing a web portal where game players can log on and search for different games being hosted.  

Professional (For Money) Video Game Leagues

Professional video gaming is a new concept that is gaining momentum within the video game industry. Two organizations have evolved to cultivate this new trend.

The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) was founded on June 26, 1997.  The CPL is a computer gamer's league attempting to transform computer game competitions into a professional sport.  The CPL sets up physical local area network tournaments and receives sponsorship financing.  Through its various sponsors, the CPL awards tournament winners as much as $150,000 in cash prizes.  The CPL events feature: professional computer game tournaments, large spectator arenas, amateur local area network competitions, hardware and software exhibitions and occasionally a variety of workshops.

Online Athletes (OLA) is member-based professional game league.  Members are charged a $25/year membership fee, which gives them a registered server.  The league monitors play and distributes cheques to top players each week based on performance.

CYOP Systems And The Video Game Industry

We belive that CYOP Systems is positioning itself as an asset to all industry players through its integrated transaction technology.  The Bloodmoney Universe is a complete entertainment network where game players can access and play their favorite games for real money distributed to them via their electronic accounts.

Game console developers are creating web browser capabilities within their next generation systems that will enable players to connect to the CrediPlay network.

Transaction technology within the CrediPlay network creates a means by which game developers can create pay-for-play versions of their games.  Developers can utilize the CrediPlay network to market and promote their games.

CYOP Systems has created a new business model for game server operators.  By simply utilizing the CrediPlay network, games from their server, can host pay-for-play video games, generating a significant additional source of revenue.

Professional game leagues are limited to physical tournament settings or reliance on sponsorships for financing.  The CrediPlay network creates a 24-hour market of interactive video gaming where players enter tournaments through their own financial accounts.

Management is aware of www.worldwinner.com and www.skilljam.com as the only other companies, which offers pay for play video gaming with the capacity to credit players in real time.  It is likely we will receive competition from other companies offering online pay for play video gaming. These competitors may utilize future off the shelf software systems or custom designed pay for play video software.  Our business model is designed to provide financial incentives for game developers and server operators who may otherwise compete against our Company.  

How We Plan To Expand Our Business Model

CYOP is capitalizing on its experience in the On-Line Gaming Industry by leveraging its experience and contacts.  With the ability to integrate with popular online games like Bingo, CYOP has the opportunity to gain acceptance by licensing its software to the mainstream Internet Portals and Games Sites as a viable on going alternative to advertising and subscription-based revenues



28





Portals such as Bingo.com have been depending on the Internet Advertising model as their sole source of revenues with moderate success. We believe that the addition of the <Pay-for-Play> model allows these portals to further capitalize on their existing database; a demographic of repeat game players.  The ease of integration allows companies to add to their core business without any software development costs or expensive downtime. One hundred percent automated, the system registers players in tournaments, runs the tournaments and pays the winners instantly.

Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 150,998,160 shares of common stock outstanding as of February 10, 2004, for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance within the rules of the Commission and generally includes voting of investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 10, 2004, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such persons, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Of that total, Mr. White is the indirect beneficial owner of 20,000,000 shares of common stock through Greenday Inc.

Holders Of Common Equity

At February 13, 2004 there were approximately 114 registered shareholders holding 150,998,160 of record of our issued common shares.  

Dividends

CYOP has never paid any dividends on its capital stock. CYOP currently expects that it will retain future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision on the future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position at that time and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Recent Sales Of Unregistered Securities

Since January 1, 2001, CYOP sold the following securities without registering under the Securities Act of 1933:

In January 2001, CYOP sold 148,500 shares of common stock for total consideration of $29,700 to accredited investors.

In February 2001, CYOP sold 65,000 shares of common stock for total consideration of $18,200 to accredited investors.

In March 2001, CYOP sold 15,000 shares of common stock for total consideration of $3,000 to accredited investors.

In April 2001, CYOP sold 56,500 shares of common stock for total consideration of $11,300 to accredited investors.

In March 2002, CYOP issued 173,535 shares of common stock for services valued at $34,707.

In September 2003, CYOP issued 600,000 shares of common stock for capital equipment valued at $36,000.

In September 2003, CYOP affected a 5-for-1 stock split pursuant to which CYOP issued four additional shares of common stock for each share outstanding as of September 26, 2003.



36





With respect to the sale of unregistered securities referenced above, all transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), and Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act. In each instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information regarding CYOP so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically, CYOP had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D of the 1933 Act and otherwise had the requisite sophistication to make an investment in CYOP's securities.






37





DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

CYOP's authorized capital consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00002 per share. At February 10, 2004, there were 150,998,160 outstanding shares of common stock and no outstanding shares of preferred stock. Set forth below is a summary description of certain provisions relating to CYOP's capital stock contained in its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and under the Nevada Revised Statutes. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to CYOP's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and the Nevada law.

Common Stock

Each outstanding share of common stock has one vote on all matters requiring a vote of the stockholders. There is no right to cumulative voting; thus, the holder of fifty percent or more of the shares outstanding can, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors. In the event of a voluntary of involuntary liquidation, all stockholders are entitled to a pro rata distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights with respect to future offerings of shares of common stock. Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by the Board out of the funds legally available therefore. It is CYOP's present intention to retain earnings, if any, for use in its business. The payment of dividends on the common stock is, therefore, unlikely in the foreseeable future.

Stock Split

In September 2003, CYOP affected a 5-for-1 stock split pursuant to which CYOP issued four additional shares of common stock for each share outstanding as of September 26, 2003.

Transfer Agent

Our transfer agent is The Nevada Agency and Trust Company of Suite 880, Bank of America Plaza, 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada, 89501.

Limitation Of Liability: Indemnification

Our Articles of Incorporation include an indemnification provision under which we have agreed to indemnify directors and officers of CYOP to fullest extent possible from and against any and all claims of any type arising from or related to future acts or omissions as a director or officer of CYOP. In addition, the liability of our officers and directors for breaches of their fiduciary duty as a director or officer other than: (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law; or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.300.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of CYOP pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, CYOP has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Effects Of Provisions Of The Articles Of Incorporation

Authorized and Unissued Stock. The authorized but unissued shares of our common are available for future issuance without our stockholders' approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes including but not limited to future public or direct offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee incentive plans. The issuance of such shares may also be used to deter a potential takeover of CYOP that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with CYOP' Board of Directors' desires. A takeover may be beneficial to stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price.

1.

Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company was incorporated on October 29, 1999 in the name of Triple 8 Development Corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful business or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company changed its name to CYOP Systems International Incorporated on October 30, 2000.  On November 3, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CYOP Systems Inc., Barbados ("CYOP Barbados"). This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition recapitalization.

CYOP Barbados was incorporated under the laws of Barbados on June 20, 2000. On August 31, 2000, CYOP Barbados acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Moshpit Entertainment Inc., Canada ("Moshpit"), a company incorporated under the laws British Columbia, Canada. CYOP Barbados sold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Moshpit by an agreement dated April 1, 2002 to a former stockholder and the sole director.

The Company, and its subsidiary, is a provider of multimedia transactional technology solutions and services for the entertainment industry.   The Company's range of products and services include financial transaction platforms for on-line video games and integrated e-commerce transaction technology for on-line merchants.  These services are considered as one segment only based on internal organizational structure.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon many factors, including the ability of the Company to obtain financing to fund working capital requirements, the degree of competition encountered by the Company, technology risks, government regulation and general economic conditions. The Management's plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required and keep abreast with the multimedia technology. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Consolidation

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b)

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(c)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less when purchased.

(d)

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost.  Depreciation is charged to earnings in amounts sufficient to allocate the costs over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 

Audio and visual equipment

20% declining-balance basis

 
 

Computer hardware

30% declining-balance basis

 
 

Computer software

100% declining-balance basis

 
 

Office furniture and equipment

20% declining-balance basis

 
 

Leasehold improvements

20% straight-line basis

 


(e)

Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenue from online internet transaction platform maintenance. Revenues are recognized when players complete an on-line game. The Company has no significant performance requirements, and, there are no material uncertainties regarding customer acceptance and collection of the network maintenance fee is deemed probable.

(f)

Software Development Costs

Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to expenses as incurred.

(g)

Advertising and Promotion

The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.  Total advertising and promotion costs charged to expenses for the period ended September 30, 2003 amounted to $78,330 (2002 - $40,199).

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h)

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company and CYOP Barbados maintain their accounting records in their functional currency.  Foreign currency transactions are translated into their functional currency in the following manner.

At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date.  At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.  The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

(i)

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is included in the period that includes the enactment date.

(j)

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

Effective January 1, 2002, certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances require consideration as to whether their carrying value has become impaired pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company evaluated long-term assets of the Company in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

(k)

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

Fair value of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, note receivable, demand loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, player funds on deposit and short-term loans approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of interest receivable and note receivable, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its debtors and maintains allowances for possible losses with, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations.   The Company places its cash in high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.

(l)

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

As at September 30, 2003, the Company has not entered into any derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

(m)

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and other dilutive securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is equal to the basic income (loss) per share as the stock options to acquire 125,000 common shares that are outstanding at September 30, 2003 are not dilutive.

(o)

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation".  SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense related to stock-based compensation.  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.

(p)

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51.  This interpretation addressed the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interest.  The interpretation is intended to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in determining the primary beneficiary.  The interpretation outlines disclosure requirements for VIEs in existence prior to January 31, 2003, outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003.  The company has reviewed its major commercial relationship and its overall economic interests with other companies consisting of related parties, vendors, loan creditors and other suppliers to determine the extent of its variable economic interest in these parties.  The review has not resulted in a determination that the Company would be judged to be the primary economic beneficiary in any material relationships, or that any material entities would be judged to be Variable Interest Entities of the Company.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 30, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangible Assets   (continued)

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  This statement requires that intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized.  Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over its useful life or estimated of its useful life.  Indefinite life intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if any events occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.  Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets.  The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company wrote down the acquired intellectual property of $13,719 to its fair value in fiscal year 2002.  The changes in the carrying amount of intellectual property as follows:

Sale and License-back of Computer Software

On December 14, 2001, the Company sold computer software identified as Crediplay System to the sole director and a major stockholder and creditor of the Company for $3,000,000. The purchase price was settled by retiring $1,200,000 of debt owed to the purchaser and a promissory note for $1,800,000. The promissory note bears interest at 5% per annum with maturity on December 14, 2010.  The promissory note is secured through a first priority lien and security interest in the Crediplay System and amount due to Mr. Mitch White (the "Purchaser") totalling $517,613 (2001 - nil).  As at December 31, 2001, the present value of the promissory note is $1,565,452, with discount rate at 7% per annum. As at December 31, 2002, the present value of the promissory note is $1,585,034 after calculating at the discount of 7% and accruing interest at 5%. Interest receivable was calculated at 1,800,000 X 5% or $90,000.

Pursuant to a Marketing, Development and Distribution Agreement entered into on the same date, the Crediplay System was licensed back to the Company for a term of 15 years. A licensing fee payable will be calculated on Gross Earnings derived from the Crediplay System as follows:

 

2003

Gross Earnings x 17%

 
 

2004

Gross Earnings x 15%

 
 

2005 to 2017

Gross Earnings x 10%

 
       

The development costs of the Crediplay System expended by the Company amounted to approximately $1,273,406 of which $778,348 was expensed previously.  Management of the Company has estimated the $3,000,000 value based on the discounted future cash flow projection and the estimate provided by knowledgeable parties of the software.

The gain on the sale of the Crediplay System is calculated as follows:

 

Sales price

     
 

Retirement of loan due to the purchaser

Legal Proceedings

Former independent contractors filed complaints under the Employment Standards Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 113 with the Employment Standards Branch of British Columbia. A subsequent Determination made by the Delegate of the Director of Employment Standards dated July 14, 2003 rendered a decision that the three complainants are not independent contractors and determined the complainants to be employees of the Company. The Company on August 21, 2003 appealed this determination. As at this date a final determination has not been rendered by the Employment Standards Tribunal.

Further with respect to the above complainants an audit for payroll taxes is being conducted by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency ("CCRA").

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders


CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of CYOP Systems International Incorporated ("the Company") as at December 31, 2002 and 2001, the related consolidated statements of stockholders' deficiency and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.   As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)


1.

Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company was incorporated on October 29, 1999 in the name of Triple 8 Development Corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful business or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company changed its name to CYOP Systems International Incorporated on October 30, 2000.  On November 3, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CYOP Systems Inc., Barbados ("CYOP Barbados"). This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition recapitalization.

CYOP Barbados was incorporated under the laws of Barbados on June 20, 2000. On August 31, 2000, CYOP Barbados acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Moshpit Entertainment Inc., Canada ("Moshpit"), a company incorporated under the laws British Columbia, Canada. CYOP Barbados sold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Moshpit by an agreement dated April 1, 2002 to a former stockholder and the sole director (see Note 8).

The Company, and its subsidiary, is a provider of multimedia transactional technology solutions and services for the entertainment industry.   The Company's range of products and services include financial transaction platforms for on-line video games and integrated e-commerce transaction technology for on-line merchants.  These services are considered as one segment only based on internal organizational structure.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon many factors, including the ability of the Company to obtain financing to fund working capital requirements, the degree of competition encountered by the Company, technology risks, government regulation and general economic conditions. The Management's plan in this regard is to raise equity financing as required and keep abreast with the multimedia technology. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

2.

Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary CYOP Barbados. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b)

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(c)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less when purchased.

(d)

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost.  Depreciation is charged to earnings in amounts sufficient to allocate the costs over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 

Audio and visual equipment

20% declining-balance basis

 
 

Computer hardware

30% declining-balance basis

 
 

Computer software

100% declining-balance basis

 
 

Office furniture and equipment

20% declining-balance basis

 
 

Leasehold improvements

20% straight-line basis

 


(e)

Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenue from providing services on software development and online internet transaction platform maintenance. Service revenues are recognized when services have been performed and delivered in accordance with service agreements, the Company has no significant remaining performance requirements, there are no material uncertainties regarding customer acceptance and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable.

(f)

Software Development Costs

Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to expenses as incurred.

(g)

Advertising and Promotion

The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.  Total advertising and promotion costs charged to expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 amounted to $209,619 (2001 - $101,217).

The Company and CYOP Barbados maintain their accounting records in their functional currency.  Foreign currency transactions are translated into their functional currency in the following manner.

At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date.  At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.  The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.

(i)

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is included in the period that includes the enactment date.

(j)

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

Effective January 1, 2002, certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances require consideration as to whether their carrying value has become impaired pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations.  If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.  Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company evaluated long-term assets of the Company in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

Fair value of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, note receivable, demand loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, player funds on deposit and short-term loans approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of interest receivable and note receivable, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its debtors and maintains allowances for possible losses with, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations.   The Company places its cash in high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk.

(l)

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

As at December 31, 2002, the Company has not entered into any derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

(m)

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and other dilutive securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is equal to the basic income (loss) per share as the stock options to acquire 25,000 common shares that are outstanding at December 31, 2002 are not dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation".  SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense related to stock-based compensation.  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.  The rescission of SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments, and SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements, which amended SFAS No. 4, will affect income statement classification of gains and losses from extinguishment of debt.  SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issued No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity.  SFAS No. 146 generally requires a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity to be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred.  The pronouncement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of SFAS No. 146 will not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), Accounting for Stock-based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, to provide alternative methods for voluntary transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  SFAS No. 148 also requires disclosure of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in annual and interim financial statements.  SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 will not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others - An Interpretation of FASB Statements of No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.  This interpretation clarifies the requirements for a guarantor's accounting for and disclosures of certain guarantees issued and outstanding.  FIN 45 also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of a guarantee.  FIN 45 is effective for guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 will not have impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51.  This interpretation addressed the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interest.  The interpretation is intended to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in determining the primary beneficiary.  The interpretation outlines disclosure requirements for VIEs in existence prior to January 31, 2003, outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003.  The company has reviewed its major commercial relationship and its overall economic interests with other companies consisting of related parties, vendors, loan creditors and other suppliers to determine the extent of its variable economic interest in these parties.  The review has not resulted in a determination that the Company would be judged to be the primary economic beneficiary in any material relationships, or that any material entities would be judged to be Variable Interest Entities of the Company.

Intangible Assets

On May 21, 2002, the Company terminated the software development agreement and a software licensing, technical support and operation of customer service and data centre agreement with a related company (related by a common director) was terminated. As at that date $240,000 license fees were billed with $200,000 remaining unpaid at May 21, 2002.

In satisfaction of this unpaid amount and in consideration of terminating the agreement the related company assigned all right, title and interest in:

(a)

the Skill-Bingo Patents and the Skill-Bingo Inventions purchased from FYRC Inc.

(b)

the Skill-Bingo game software

(c)

the website located at http://www.bigrbingo.com

(d)

the trademark "BiG'rBingo"

(e)

the BiG'rBingo customer deposits

The above has been collectively recorded as intellectual property with an expected useful life of 5 years.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  This statement requires that intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized.  Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over its useful life or estimated of its useful life.  Indefinite life intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if any events occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.  Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets.  The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value.

Sale and License-back of Computer Software

On December 14, 2001, the Company sold computer software identified as Crediplay System to the sole director and a major stockholder and creditor of the Company for $3,000,000. The purchase price was settled by retiring $1,200,000 of debt owed to the purchaser and a promissory note for $1,800,000. The promissory note bears interest at 5% per annum with maturity on December 14, 2010.  The promissory note is secured through a first priority lien and security interest in the Crediplay System and amount due to Mr. Mitch White (the "Purchaser") totalling $517,613 (2001 - nil).  As at December 31, 2001, the present value of the promissory note is $1,565,452, with discount rate at 7% per annum. As at December 31, 2002, the present value of the promissory note is $1,585,034 after calculating at the discount of 7% and accruing interest at 5%. Interest receivable was calculated at 1,800,000 X 5% or $90,000.

Pursuant to a Marketing, Development and Distribution Agreement entered into on the same date, the Crediplay System was licensed back to the Company for a term of 15 years. A licensing fee payable will be calculated on Gross Earnings derived from the Crediplay System as follows:

 

2002

Gross Earnings x 20%

 
 

2003

Gross Earnings x 17%

 
 

2004

Gross Earnings x 15%

 
 

2005 to 2017

Gross Earnings x 10%

 
       

The development costs of the Crediplay System expended by the Company amounted to approximately $1,273,406 of which $778,348 was expensed previously.  Management of the Company has estimated the $3,000,000 value based on the discounted future cash flow projection and the estimate provided by knowledgeable parties of the software.

The gain on the sale of the Crediplay System is calculated as follows:

Sales price

   

Retirement of loan due to the purchaser

1,200,000

Present value of $1,800,000    promissory note discounted at 7% per annum

Our Articles of Incorporation include an indemnification provision under which we have agreed to indemnify directors and officers of CYOP to fullest extent possible from and against any and all claims of any type arising from or related to future acts or omissions as a director or officer of CYOP. In addition, the liability of our officers and directors for breaches of their fiduciary duty as a director or officer other than: (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law; or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.300.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of CYOP pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, CYOP has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

II-1





With respect to the sale of unregistered securities referenced above, all transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), and Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act. In each instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information regarding CYOP so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically, CYOP had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D of the 1933 Act and otherwise had the requisite sophistication to make an investment in CYOP's securities.

Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

               To 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 Sections 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act");

(ii)

                                                               Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;

(iii)

                                  Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution;

  (2)            That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the bona fide offering thereof.

  (3)            To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been set tled 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

2.01

The Executive will provide the Services in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding execution and delivery of this Agreement, this is an at-will agreement deemed to have commenced on the effective date of this agreement.

After a Change In Control: If a Change in Control occurs, the Corporation may not provide notice of termination of this Agreement under Paragraph (1) above within the one-year period after the Change In Control. In other words, in this case, the effective date of the termination of the Agreement may be no earlier than two years after the Change in Control.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change of Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction."


A termination of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection shall be effective for all purposes at the end of the notice period, except that such termination shall not affect the payment or provision of compensation or benefits under this Agreement on account of a termination of employment occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement."


TERMINATION


3.01

Cause: The Company may terminate your employment for "Cause." "Cause" includes a willful violation of any major Company policy, conviction of any criminal or civil law involving moral turpitude, willful misconduct resulting in a material reduction of your work effectiveness, or willful and reckless disregard for the best interests of the Company."

 

 

3.02

For these purposes, no act or failure to act shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

3.03

Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Disability: In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, the Corporation terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause or Disability, or, such termination does not occur in accordance with paragraph 2.01 (2) after a Change in Control, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits:

(3)

Two hundred percent (200%) of the Executive’s annual incentive     bonus earned on a quarterly basis as of the date of the termination, assuming the Executive was employed on the last day of the quarter in which termination of employment occurred.

No Mitigation: The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this section, nor shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any earnings or benefits that the Executive may receive from any other source.


3.04

Incentive Programs: The Continuation Period shall be counted as employment with the Corporation for purposes of vesting in each of the incentive awards heretofore or hereafter granted to the Executive by the Corporation, any contrary provisions of such awards or the applicable plan notwithstanding. This Subsection shall not be construed to require any member of the Corporation to grant any new awards to the Executive during the Continuation Period.

LATE PAYMENT


4.01

Late or Refused Payment: If the Corporation refuses or fails to timely pay or provide the compensation and benefits specified in this section upon demand as provided in this Agreement and if such refusal or failure is not corrected within 10 business days after the Executive provides written notice to the Corporation concerning the refusal or failure, then the Corporation shall pay immediately to the Executive an additional amount equal to 50% of the Executive’s Base Compensation."

6.04    The Executive agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Company against and for all and any claims, assessments, penalties, interest charges and legal fees and disbursements and taxes incurred as result of having to defend same made against the Company as a result of the Executive failure to comply with Article 6.03, or as a result of any decisions or investigations made by any government agency or body in connection with the relationship between the parties hereto.

REPORTS

9.01

The Executive will not, provide any services to any person, firm, or corporation where the performance of that service or the provision of that advice may or does, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, give rise to a conflict of interest between the obligations of the Executive, under this Agreement, and the obligations of the Executive to such other person, firm or corporation.

action is brought against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may desire, to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel chosen by it which is reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under such Section 7(A), (B), (C), or (D) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, but the indemnified party may, at its own expense, participate in such defense by counsel chosen by it, without, however, impairing the indemnifying party’s control of the defense.  Subject to the proviso of this sentence and notwithstanding any other statement to t he contrary contained herein, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to choose its or their own counsel and control the defense of any action, all at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action at the expense of the indemnifying party, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses of one additional counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.  No settlement of any action or proceeding against an indemnified party shall be made without the consent of the indemnifying party.

F.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 7(A) or 7(B) is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company and the Placement Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation or defense of same) which the other may incur in such proportion so that the Placement Agent shall be responsible for such percent of the aggregate of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities as shall equal the percentage of the gross proceeds paid to the Placement Agent and the Company shall be responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 7(F), any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Placement Agent, or any partner, director, officer, employee, representative or any agent of any thereof, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent and each person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each officer of the Company and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.  Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which

 
 

a claim for contribution may be made against the other party under this Section 7(D), notify such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation they may have hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom contribution may be sought is not materially prejudiced thereby.  

G.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any termination of this Agreement.

H.

The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to or claim of any punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, special, consequential or other damages (including, without limitation, loss of profits) against the Placement Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative of the placement agent and each person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and Regulations arising out of any cause whatsoever (whether such cause be based in contract, negligence, strict liability, other tort or otherwise).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate liability of the Placement Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative of the Placement Agent and each person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and Regulations shall not exceed the compensation received by the Placement Agent pursuant to Section 2 hereof.  This limitation of liability shall apply regardless of the cause of action, whether contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence) or breach of statute or any other legal or equitable obligation.

EX-10 8 ex1012.htm EX 10.12 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JANUARY 2004 BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P. _

EXHIBIT 10.12

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January ___, 2004 by and between CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC., a Nevada corporation, with its principal office located at 1090 Homer Street, Suite 390, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B2W9 (the “Company”), and CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”).

WHEREAS:

A.

In connection with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement by and between the parties hereto of even date herewith (the “Standby Equity Distribution Agreement”), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, to issue and sell to the Investor that number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00002 per share (the “Common Stock”), which can be purchased pursuant to the terms of the Equity Line Credit Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.

B.

To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “1933 Act”), and applicable state securities laws.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

1.

DEFINITIONS.

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

a.

   “Person” means a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

b.

Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous or delayed basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

c.

Registrable Securities” means the Investor’s Shares, as defined in the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and shares of Common Stock issuable to Investors pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.






MI-149948 v2 0950000-102






d.

Registration Statement” means a registration statement under the 1933 Act which covers the Registrable Securities.

2.

REGISTRATION.

a.

Mandatory Registration.  The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1, SB-2 or on such other form as is available.  The Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC prior to the first sale to the Investor of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.

b.

Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities which the Investor has purchased pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities which the Investor has purchased pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefore arises.  The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of Registrable Securities issuable on an Advance Notice Date is greater than the number of shares available for resale under such Registration Statement.

3.

RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

a.

The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

b.

The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.  In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registrat ion Statement which are required to be

2




filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

c.

The Company shall furnish to the Investor without charge, (i) at least one copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

d.

The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in conn ection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

e.

As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor.  The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any p rospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment

3




has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

f.

The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

g.

At the reasonable request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investor.

h.

The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Investor and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and the Investor hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, u nless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge.  The Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

i.

The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of

4




such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement.  The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

j.

The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or to secure the inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).

k.

The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to the extent applicable, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.

l.

The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

m.

The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

n.

The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

o.

Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

p.

The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

In connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registratio n Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the in demnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to the Investor prior to the Investor’s use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

c.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing  interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully appr ised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for whic h indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

d.

The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e.

The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

8





7.

CONTRIBUTION.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:  (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

8.

Re:

Ladies and Gentlemen:


We are counsel to CYOP Systems International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Standby Equity Distribution Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and Cornell Capital Partners, LP  (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.00002 per share (the “Common Stock”).  Pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreeme nt) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Investor as a selling stockholder thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,


KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP

BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

(a)

Investment Purpose.  Each Buyer is acquiring the Convertible Debentures and, upon conversion of Convertible Debentures, the Buyer will acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable, for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.

(b)

Accredited Investor  Status.  Each Buyer is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

(c)

Reliance on Exemptions.  Each Buyer understands that the Convertible Debentures are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire such securities.

(d)

Information.  Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares, which have been requested by such Buyer.  Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below.  Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Convertible Deb entures and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk.  Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.  Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares.

(e)

No Governmental Review.  Each Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion


3




Shares, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

(f)

Transfer or Resale.  Each Buyer understands that except as provided in the Investor Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Convertible Debentures have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements; (ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applic able, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.  The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.

(g)

Legends.  Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop ­transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company within two (2) business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Conversion Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale transaction, provided the Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel



4




in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act.

(h)

Authorization, Enforcement.  This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(i)

Receipt of Documents.  Each Buyer and his or its counsel has received and read in their entirety:  (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein, the Security Agreement, the Investor Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the Irrevocable transfer Agent Instructions; (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; (iii) the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31; (iv) the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003, and September 30, 2003 and (v) answers to all questions each Buyer submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Buyer has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished any other docume nts, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

(j)

(k)

No Legal Advice From the Company.  Each Buyer acknowledges, that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors.  Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.  

3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, except as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined herein):

SECURED DEBENTURE

CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC.

5% Convertible Debenture

Due January ___, 2007


No.  ___

         $75,000


This Debenture is issued by CYOP Systems International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to _______________ (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Holder”) pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ARTICLE I.

Section 1.01

Principal and Interest.  For value received, on January ___, 2004, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the principal sum of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars (U.S. $75,000), together with interest on the unpaid principal of this Debenture at the rate of five percent (5%) per year (computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual days elapsed) from the date of this Debenture until paid.  At the Company’s option, the entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be either (a) paid to the Holder on the third (3rd) year anniversary from the date hereof or (b) converted in accordance with Section 1.02 herein.




Section 1.02

Optional Conversion.  The Holder is entitled, at its option, to convert, and sell on the same day, at any time and from time to time, until payment in full of this Debenture, all or any part of the principal amount of the Debenture, plus accrued interest, into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00002 per share (“Common Stock”), at the price per share (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lesser of (a) an amount equal to one hundred twenty (120%) of the closing bid price of the Common Stock as listed on a Principal Market (as defined herein), as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. (the “Closing Bid Price”) as of the date hereof, or (b) an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock fo r the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined herein).  Subparagraphs (a) and (b) above are individually referred to as a “Conversion Price”.  As used herein, “Principal Market” shall mean The National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.’s Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or American Stock Exchange.  If the Common Stock is not traded on a Principal Market, the Closing Bid Price shall mean, the reported Closing Bid Price for the Common Stock, as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., for the applicable periods.  No fraction of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  To convert this Debenture, the Holder hereof shall deliver written notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” to this Debenture, with appropria te insertions (the “Conversion Notice”), to the Company at its address as set forth herein.  The date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date set forth in the Conversion Notice.

Section 1.03

Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Debenture, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect such conversion, based upon the Conversion Price.  If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of Conversion Shares authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

Section 1.04

Right of Redemption.  The Company at its option shall have the right to redeem, with three (3) business days advance written notice (the “Redemption Notice”), a portion or all outstanding convertible debenture.  The redemption price shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the amount redeemed plus accrued interest.  

In the event the Company exercises a redemption of either all or a portion the Convertible Debenture, the Holder shall receive a warrant to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock for every One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) redeemed, pro rata (the “Warrant”).  The Warrant shall be exercisable on a “cash basis” and have an exercise price of one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Closing Bid Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Closing Date.  The Warrant shall have “piggy-back” and demand registration rights and shall survive for two (2) years from the Closing Date.  

Section 1.05

Registration Rights.  The Company is obligated to register the resale of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the terms of a




2




Registration Rights Agreement, between the Company and the Holder of even date herewith (the “Investor Registration Rights Agreement”).

Section 1.06

Interest Payments.  The interest so payable will be paid at the time of maturity, redemption or conversion to the person in whose name this Debenture is registered.  At the time such interest is payable, the Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect to receive the interest in cash (via wire transfer or certified funds) or in the form of Common Stock.  In the event of default, as described in Article III Section 3.01 hereunder, the Holder may elect that the interest be paid in cash (via wire transfer or certified funds) or in the form of Common Stock.  If paid in the form of Common Stock, the amount of stock to be issued will be calculated as follows: the value of the stock shall be the Closing Bid Price on:  (i) the date the interest payment is due; or (ii) if the interest payment is not made when due, the date the interest payment is made.  A number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the amount of interest due shall be issued.  No fractional shares will be issued; therefore, in the event that the value of the Common Stock per share does not equal the total interest due, the Company will pay the balance in cash.

Section 1.07

Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar.  The Company may change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar.  The Company may act in any such capacity.

Section 1.08

Secured Nature of Debenture.  This Debenture is secured by all of the assets and property of the Company as set forth on Exhibit A to the Security Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and the Holder (the “Security Agreement”).  As set forth in the Security Agreement, Holder’s security interest shall terminate upon the occurrence of an Expiration Event as defined in the Security Agreement.

ARTICLE II.

Section 2.01

Amendments and Waiver of Default.  The Debenture may not be amended without the consent of the Holder.  Notwithstanding the above, without the consent of the Holder, the Debenture may be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of the Company obligations to the Holder or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of the Holder.

ARTICLE III.

Section 3.01

Events of Default.  An Event of Default is defined as follows: (a) failure by the Company to pay amounts due hereunder within fifteen (15) days of the date of maturity of this Debenture; (b) failure by the Company to comply with the terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement; (c) failure by the Company’s transfer agent to issue freely tradable Common Stock to the Holder within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of the attached Notice of Conversion from Holder; (d) failure by the Company for ten (10) days after notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Debenture; (e) events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (f) a breach by the Company of its obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Investor Registration Rights




3




Agreement which is not cured by the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof.

Section 3.02

Failure to Issue Unrestricted Common Stock.  As indicated in Article III Section 3.01, a breach by the Company of its obligations under the Investor Registration Rights Agreement shall be deemed an Event of Default, which if not cured within ten (10) days, shall entitle the Holder to accelerate full repayment of all debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon.  The Company acknowledges that failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause irreparable harm to the Holder.  If at any time, the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Common Stock necessary to satisfy full Conversion of the then outstanding amount of the Convertible, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting within 30 days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock a uthorized.  Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized.  Management shall vote also all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized.  

ARTICLE IV.

Section 4.01

Rights and Terms of Conversion.  This Debenture, in whole or in part, may be converted at any time following the date of closing, into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the Conversion Price as described in Section 1.02 above.

Section 4.02

Re-issuance of Debenture.  When the Holder elects to convert a part of the Debenture, then the Company shall reissue a new Debenture in the same form as this Debenture to reflect the new principal amount.

Section 4.03

Termination of Conversion Rights.  The Holder’s right to convert the Debenture into the Common Stock in accordance with paragraph 4.01 shall terminate on the date that is the third (3rd) year anniversary from the date hereof and this Debenture shall be automatically converted on that date in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and the appropriate shares of Common Stock and amount of interest shall be issued to the Holder.

ARTICLE V.

Section 5.01

Anti-dilution.  In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination as the case may be.

Section 5.02

Consent  of Holder to Sell Capital Stock or Grant Security Interests.  Except for the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and Cornell Capital Partners, LP, so long as any of the principal of or interest on this Note remains unpaid and unconverted, the Company shall not, without the prior consent of the



4




Holder, issue or sell (i) any Common Stock or Preferred Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than its fair market value determined immediately prior to its issuance, (ii) issue or sell any Preferred Stock, warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the right to acquire Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than such Common Stock’s fair market value determined immediately prior to its issuance, (iii) enter into any security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any of the assets of the Company, or (iv) file any registration statement on Form S-8.

Liquidated Damages.  The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(c) above shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights of the Investor, including the right to call a default.  The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

3.

RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

(a)

The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

(b)

The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.  In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration St atement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

3



(c)

The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

(d)

The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(e)

As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor.  The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prosp ectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(g)

At the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.

(i)

The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement.  The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that

5



disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(m)

The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve (12) month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.

Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

5.

EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting fees shall be paid by the Company.

6.

INDEMNIFICATION.

With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

(a)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnif ied party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to

7



make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”).  The Company shall reimburse the Investors and each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Pe rson and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

(b)

In connection with a Registration Statement, each Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connecti on with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registr able Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was

8


 

corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to each Investor prior to such Investor’s use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

(c)

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one (1) counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing  interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d)

The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

(e)

The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the

9


 

indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7.

CONTRIBUTION.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:  (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

8.

REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.

With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”) the Company agrees to:

(a)

make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b)

file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents as are  required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

(c)

furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

9.

AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.  No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or

10



modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

10.

MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)

A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two (2) or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

(b)

Re:

CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC.


Ladies and Gentlemen:


We are counsel to CYOP Systems International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and the investors named therein (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.00002 per share (the “Common Stock”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Investor Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act o f 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange SEC (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Investors as a selling stockholder there under.

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,


KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP

RE:

CYOP SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC.


Ladies and Gentlemen:


Reference is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated the date hereof, by and between CYOP Systems International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Company”), and the Buyers set forth on Schedule I attached thereto (collectively the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company shall sell to the Buyer up to One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) of the Company’s secured convertible debentures, which shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).  The shares of Common Stock to be converted thereunder plus interest which may be converted into Common Stock shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in the event the Buyer has elected to have the interest of the Convertible Debenture, pursuant to Section 1.07 of the Convertible Debenture, paid in Common Stock and/or the Buyer has elected to have Liquidated Damages pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement dated the date hereof paid in Common Stock. which may be converted into Common Stock thereunder are referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares.”  This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue the Conversion Shares in shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Buyer from time to time upon surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, delivered on behalf of the Company by David Gonzalez, Esq.

Specifically, upon receipt by the Company or David Gonzalez, Esq. of a copy of a Conversion Notice, David Gonzalez, Esq., on behalf of the Company, shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1) Trading Day (as defined below) after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send, via facsimile, a Conversion Notice, which shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to you to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms of these instructions.  Upon your receipt of a copy of the executed Conversion Notice, you shall use your best efforts to, within three (3) Trading Days following the date of receipt of the Conversion Notice, (A) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Buyer or its designee, for the number of shares of Comm on Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled as set forth in the Conversion Notice or (B) provided you are participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Buyer, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be



MI-150227 v2 0950000-102




entitled to the Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system provided the Buyer causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction.  (“Trading Day shall mean any day on which the Nasdaq Market is open for customary trading.)

The Company hereby confirms to you and the Buyer that certificates representing the Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares, and/or the Liquidated Damages Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company provided that the Company counsel delivers (i) the Notice of Effectiveness set forth in Exhibit II attached hereto and (ii) an opinion of counsel in the form set forth in Exhibit III attached hereto, and that if the Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares, and/or the Liquidated Damages Shares are not registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then the certificates for the Conversion Shares shall bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”

The Company hereby confirms and The Nevada Agency and Trust Company acknowledges that in the event Counsel to the Company does not issue an opinion of counsel as required to issue the Conversion Shares free of legend the Company authorizes and The Nevada Agency and Trust Company will accept an opinion of Counsel from Butler Gonzalez LLP.  

The Company hereby confirms to you and the Buyer that no instructions other than as contemplated herein will be given to you by the Company with respect to the Conversion Shares.  The Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace The Nevada Agency and Trust Company as the Company’s transfer agent without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

Any attempt by you to resign as transfer agent hereunder shall not be effective until such time as the Company provides to you written notice that a suitable replacement has agreed to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Transfer Agent Instructions.

The Company and The Nevada Agency and Trust Company hereby acknowledge and confirm that complying with the terms of this Agreement does not and shall not prohibit The Nevada Agency and Trust Company from satisfying any and all fiduciary responsibilities and duties it may owe to the Company.

2



The Company and The Nevada Agency and Trust Company acknowledge that the Buyer is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company The Nevada Agency and Trust Company hereunder and are a material inducement to the Buyer purchasing convertible debentures under the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The Company and The Nevada Agency and Trust Company further acknowledge that without such representations and covenants of the Company and The Nevada Agency and Trust Company made hereunder, the Buyer would not enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement and purchase convertible debentures pursuant thereto.

Each party hereto specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of the agency relationship created by this instrument, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.

(d)

If within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies under this Warrant or the Placement Agent Agreement, or otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th) day that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Comp any could have issued such Warrant to the holder without violating this Section 2.

Section 3.

Covenants as to Common Stock.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)

This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.

(b)

(c)

During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.  If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

(d)

If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.

(e)

The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action

6


 

as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant.  The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(f)

This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Section 4.

Taxes.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

Section 5.

Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  I n addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

Section 6.

Representations of Holder.  The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.  The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of t his date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”).  Upon exercise of this Warrant  the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale

7


 

and that such holder is an Accredited Investor.  If such holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

Section 7.

Ownership and Transfer.

(a)

The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee.  The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

Section 8.

Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a)

Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (other than (i) Excluded Securities and (ii) shares of Common Stock which are issued or deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with an Approved Stock Plan or upon exercise or conversion of the Other Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share.  Upon each such adjustment of the War rant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(b)

Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the following shall be applicable:

(i)

Issuance of Options.  If after the date hereof, the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of

8


 

such Convertible Securities shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities.

(ii)

Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If after the date hereof, the Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such convertible securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the convert ible security and upon conversion or exchange of such convertible security.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, and if any such issue or sale of such convertible securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii)

Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted.  For purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii i), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or convertible security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.

(c)

Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Sections 8(a) and 8(b), the following shall be applicable:

9



(i)

Calculation of Consideration Received.  If after the date hereof, any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore.  If after the date hereof, any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities.  If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of W arrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.

(ii)

Integrated Transactions.  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.

(iii)

Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(iv)

Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in convertible securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(d)

Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant

10


 

Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 8(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e)

Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

(i)

any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

(ii)

either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the assets that would have bee n payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).

11



(f)

Certain Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(d),that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(f) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.

(g)

Notices.

(i)

Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.

(ii)

The Company will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

(iii)

The Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.

Section 9.

Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a)

In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at any time after the date hereof, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the g rant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

12



(b)

Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.”  Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written ag reement (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (iii) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the holders of the Warrants (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale).  Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).

Section 10.

Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

Section 11.

Notice.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of receipt is received by the sending party transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:
