Note 16- Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock

 

In 1987, the Company had 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock authorized, and 29,999,998 shares of common stock outstanding. On April 17, 1987, the Company filed a Certificate of Secretary with the Nevada Secretary of State's office pursuant to which the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (that reduced the number of outstanding shares to 3,000,000). The Certificate of Secretary did not, however, specifically address, or reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock.

 

Based on its belief that the April 17, 1987 filing with the Nevada Secretary of State also reduced the number of authorized shares, the Company has since 1987 reported in its financial statements that the number of authorized shares of common stock consisted of 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock. On February 23, 2011, the Nevada Secretary of State's office notified the Company that based on the April 17, 1987 filing, the authorized number of common shares of the Company consisted of 100,000,000 shares. As a result of the two-for-one stock split that took place in the second quarter of 2011, the authorized number of common shares of the Company as of October 31, 2011 consists of 200,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.

 

At the Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Company that was held on November 4, 2011, the stockholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to decrease the number of the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares. The amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on November 4, 2011. Accordingly, the authorized number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock currently is 20,000,000 shares.
