General

The  authorized  capital  stock  of  registrant consists of 40,000,000 shares of
common  stock,  par  value  $.001 per share. The holders of the shares of common
stock  (i)  have  equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available
therefor, when as and if declared by the board of directors of registrant ; (ii)
are  entitled  to  shares  ratably in all the assets of registrant available for
distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding

matters  which  the  shareholders  are  entitled to vote upon at all meetings of

Non-Cumulative Voting

The  holders  of  shares  of common stock of registrant do not have a cumulative
voting  right  which  means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of common stock can elect all of the directors to be elected and thus the
holders  of  the  remaining shares will not be able to elect any of Registrant's
directors.
