On July 11, 2003, reporting person, or its affiliate, Bernard Zimmerman, purchased from the issuer 125,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share, and 5-year Warrants to purchase 100,000 shares exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share for an additional $1,000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA") in which the Cohen Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), or its affiliate, also has purchased from issuer a like number of shares and Warrants. Among other conditions to closing the SPA, the issuer has sold its operating assets and business (excluding cash and a deferred tax asset), subject to liabilities, to FCCC Holding Company, LLC, a limited liability company organized by issuer's management, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA). Pursuant to the APA and SPA, Bernard Zimmerman, the principal of reporting person, Martin Cohen, Trustee of the Plan and Jay J. Miller, an individual designated by them, as well as two incumbent directors of the issuer, were elected at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the issuer, held on June 3, 2003, to serve as directors of the issuer. Reporting person has also purchased an additional 47,700 shares of Common Stock of the issuer from two unaffiliated shareholders of issuer at a price of $1.00 per share. Accordingly, along with holdings obtained prior to the above-referenced transactions, reporting person owns a total of 188,300 shares of issuer's Common Stock and Warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares. Reporting person has no present plans to (i) change the capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer (subject to the payment of a possible one-time cash dividend pursuant to the APA), (ii) make any changes in issuer's charter or by-laws, (iii) take any action which may impede acquisition of control of the issuer by any person, (iv) cause issuer's Common Stock to cease to be quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (v) take steps which may cause issuer's Common Stock to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (vi) take any action similar to those enumerated above. As directors of the issuer, it is the intention of Messrs. Zimmerman and Cohen to seek and assist issuer in making one or more acquisitions appropriate to operating as a publicly held entity. |
