APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT INCREASING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF THE COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY TO 100,000,000

 

As of the record date, the Company had the following four classes of shares authorized, issued and outstanding:

  • Common Stock: 20,000,000 shares authorized; 13,774,572 shares issued and outstanding

  • Class B Common Stock: 83,983 shares authorized, 83,983 shares issued and outstanding

  • Convertible Preferred Stock: 2,600,000 shares authorized, 2,600,000 shares issued and outstanding

  • Preferred Stock: 1,000,000 shares authorized; 500,000 shares issued and outstanding

If all shares of Common Stock which have been reserved for issuance for various acquisitions and financing arrangements are issued, the Company will have a total of slightly less than 19,900,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. This may prevent the Company from pursuing further acquisition and financing arrangements. The Board of Directors, therefore, approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000.

 

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The Board of Directors believed that it would be in the Company's best interest to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to provide the Company with adequate flexibility in the future. The Company is contemplating the advisability of borrowing money, acquiring other rights to properties or engaging in strategic alliances with third parties (each a "Strategic Transaction"). In connection with these contemplated activities, the Company may wish to use shares of Common Stock to raise sufficient funding for, or as all or part of the consideration required to effect any Strategic Transaction. The Board believed that the approved increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was desirable to maintain the Company's flexibility in its ability to raise additional capital and in choosing the form of consideration to be used to fund a potential Strategic Transaction. The Board of Directors will make the determination for future issuances of authorized shares of Common Stock, and such determinations will not require further action by the shareholders, unless required by law, regulation or stock market rule. While the Company, from time to time, considers potential Strategic Transactions that may require the issuance of shares of Common Stock and has had preliminary discussions with third parties regarding potential Strategic Transactions, as of the date of this Information Statement, the Company has not entered into any agreements or arrangements that will or could result in any such Strategic Transaction. There can be no assurance that any such preliminary discussions will result in any Strategic Transaction.

The Board also believed that the availability of additional shares of Common Stock will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue shares for a variety of other purposes that the Board of Directors may deem advisable without further action by the Company's shareholders, unless required by law, regulation or stock market rule. These purposes could include, among other things, the sale of stock to obtain additional capital funds, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans, and other bona fide corporate purposes. In some situations the issuance of additional shares could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and, for a person who does not purchase additional shares to maintain his or her pro rata interest, on a shareholder's percentage voting power in the Company.

In addition, depending upon the nature and terms thereof, such issuances could enable the Board to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain a controlling interest in the Company or the removal of the incumbent Board and may discourage unsolicited takeover attempts which might be desirable to shareholders. For example, the issuance of shares of Common Stock in a public or private sale, merger or similar transaction would increase the number of the Company's outstanding shares, thereby diluting the interest of a party seeking to take over the Company.

Upon filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of California, the Company will have 103,683,983 authorized shares of stock of which 100,000,000 authorized shares will be Common Stock, 83,983 authorized shares will be Class B Common Stock and 3,600,000 authorized shares will be Preferred Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock.

Holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities that may be issued by the Company. This means that current shareholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of Common Stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership interest.  Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock might dilute, under certain circumstances, the ownership and voting rights of shareholders.

The Board of Directors did not propose this Amendment in response to any effort to accumulate the Company's stock or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer or solicitation in opposition to management. In addition, the Amendment is not part of any plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to the Board of Directors and the shareholders. Finally, the Board does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company.

THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS AMENDMENT ON MAY 8, 2006.
