SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7 NEVADA MANHATTAN MINING, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FURNISHED The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of February 28, 1998, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ending February 28, 1998 and 1997, and the cash flows for the nine months ended February 28, 1998 and 1997. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended May 31, 1997. 2. BUSINESS The Company's business is the harvesting of timber and the production of rough sawn lumber and other finished wood products in Brazil and the exploration and mining of precious metals and coal in Nevada and Indonesia. The Company holds various rights in and to the following properties: (i) various timber properties aggregating up to approximately 750,000 hectares (1,875,000 acres) and sawmill facilities located near the town of Sao Miguel do Guama, Brazil all of which are located in the state of Para, Brazil (the "Brazilian Timber Properties"); (ii) twenty-eight (28) patented and sixty-five (65) unpatented claims aggregating approximately 1,800 acres (the "Nevada Property") which are located near the town of Manhattan, Nevada (approximately 45 miles northeast of Tonopah, Nevada); (iii) seven (7) gold concessions aggregating 39,400 hectares (98,500 acres) which are located in both the gold belt area of Kalimantan, Indonesia, and on the island of Sumatra (see "Indonesian Gold Concessions"); and (iv) three (3) coal properties located in Kalimantan, Indonesia, comprising 290,000 hectares (725,000 acres) (the "Indonesian Coal Concessions"). The Company is currently not operating the sawmill in Sao Miguel do Guama, Brazil. On February 27, 1998, the Company announced that based on recommendations from outside consultants related to timber production and environmental management, the Company began transporting an initial 1,000 cubic meters of the Company's inventory of raw materials to Tome-Acu, in the Amazon Basin within the same region as Sao Miguel operations. In addition, the Company began experiencing problems in its relationship with the former owner of the Sao Miguel sawmill. Timber production in Tome-Acu commenced in March, 1998. These new timber milling operations commenced in anticipation of acquiring a leasehold interest in an operating sawmill located in the Tome-Acu area or another facility in the region, where hardwood is readily available for harvesting in a sustainable method. The Company expects to be able to substantially reduce its transportation expenses and overhead expenses associated with the production of timber products, thereby creating additional efficiencies. 8 On December 19, 1997 the Company increased its equity ownership of its Brazilian subsidiary, Equatorial Resources Ltda., from 80% to 100%. The Company renegotiated its agreement with Ignatius Theodorou, formerly the 20% minority shareholder in Equatorial. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Theodorou one million shares of its restricted common stock over a three year period in consideration of acquiring certain interests in Brazil. Under the new agreement, the Company will no longer be required to pay Mr. Theodorou a total of $3,000,000. On November 25, 1997 the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Royal Gold (the "Letter of Intent") relating to exploration and development efforts on its Manhattan Property located in Nye County, Nevada. Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, Royal Gold was granted an exclusive option to explore, develop and purchase all of the interests which are or may be controlled by the Company on the Manhattan Property. The term of the agreement to be entered into (if at all), consistent with the terms of the Letter of Intent, will be three years, renewable for successive terms of three years, provided that Royal Gold continues to perform exploration work. The Company will retain a 4% net smelter returns royalty and also reserves the right to continue with the development of its underground mining opportunity at the historic White Caps location. Royal Gold has the option to acquire all of the Company's interest in the property, at any time during the term of the agreement, upon the payment to the Company of $5 million. The agreement would continue indefinitely to the extent that Royal Gold is achieving production in commercial quantities or is engaged in reclamation. Closing of the transaction will be subject to title and environmental due diligence, and documentation in a form satisfactory to both parties. The option was granted in part because Royal Gold is the largest U.S.-based, publicly held gold royalty company. It engages in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties and the acquisition and management of royalty interests. 3. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES On April 14, 1997 and July 7, 1997, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements related to two negotiated private placements. These transactions were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. As a result, the Company issued an aggregate of $3,500,000 of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") due March 31, 2000 (with respect to $2,000,000 of the Debentures) and July 1, 2000 (with respect to $1,500,000 of the Debentures) and granted to the purchasers warrants to purchase 62,500 shares and 75,250 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Warrants"), respectively. The Debentures may be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time at a price equal to the lesser of: seventy-five percent (75%) of the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the closing date (i.e. 75% X $8.00, or $6.00 per share); seventy-five percent (75%) of the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the funding of any subsequent funding ("tranche"); or seventy-five percent (75%) of the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the actual date of conversion of the Debentures. With respect to the April 1997 funding, if conversion is made after August 16, 1997 (as the case may be with respect to $1,800,000 of the April 1997 Debentures), the discount will be seventy-two and one-half percent (72.5%) of the above-referenced valuation standards. The Company has recorded financing charges for the differences between the conversion price and the fair market value of the stock at the date of each funding ($500,000 for the nine month period ended February 28, 1998). The discount will be amortized over the life of the Debentures. 9 The Company was required to use its "best efforts" to cause a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to become effective. If the Registration Statement did not become effective within 120 days of each respective funding, the Company was required to pay liquidated damages equal to two percent (2%) of the Debentures for the first thirty days and three percent (3%) per month thereafter until the Registration Statement becomes effective. The Company withdrew its Registration Statement pending further discussion with the Commission. The Company has entered into discussions with its Debenture holders in an effort to secure from the Debenture holders "lockup" agreements allowing the Company to retire the Debentures without market conversion to common stock pursuant to a registration statement. With regard to the April 1997 funding, until at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Debentures are converted, a deed of trust on the Nevada Property and a pledge of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock will secure the Debentures. No such security is given on the Debentures issued in July 1997. The Company has issued warrants to the subscribers of the April 14 and July 7 Debentures. The subscribers of the April 14 Debentures have been granted warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $8 per share until April 16, 2002. The subscribers of the July 17, 1997 Debentures have been granted warrants to purchase 75,250 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.75 per share until July 16, 2002. The exercise price is subject to adjustment to account for payments of dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar events. 4. RESTATEMENT As explained in the Company's Form 10-QSB for the period ending November 30, 1997, the Company has discussed with the Securities and Exchange Commission possible adjustments to the carrying value of its Nevada and Indonesia mineral proprties in accordance with the SEC Industry Guide 7 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121. As of February 28, 1998, the Company has provided an impairment against those properties as follows: Exploration costs related to the Nevada properties $3,036,000 Exploration costs related to the Indonesian properties 227,000 ------------ Total adjustment $3,263,000 The remaining capitalized costs in Nevada at February 28, 1998 ($2,936,000) represent acquisition costs of $2,525,000 and capitalized development costs of $411,000. The capitalized development costs are limited to the proven/probable reserves contained in the Nevada properties. The remaining capitalized costs related to the Indonesia properties are the acquisition costs of $2,600,000. The Company has restated its May 31, 1997 financial statements as a result of this impairment, reducing the Domestic property and equipment value from $5,830,091 to $2,744,327 and Indonesia property and equipment value from $2,826,782 to $2,600,000. 10 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: (a) On March 3, 1998, the Company executed an agreement (the " Metsa Agreement") with Oy Metsa Timber Ltd. of Helsinki, Finland for timber distribution and management services. The Metsa Agreement grants Metsa distribution and sales rights for the output of timber and timber- related products of its subsidiary, Equatorial Resources. Metsa Timber's extensive marketing areas include the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Japan, Greece, Northern Africa and Arab countries. The Metsa Agreement also provides the Company with management and development assistance which will be provided through one of Metsa's sister subsidiaries, FWI Wood International. Metsa Timber group is one of Europe's leading sawmilling groups with a 1997 production of 2 million cubic meters of sawn timber in its 13 European units. Metsa Timber group reported net sales of $525 million USD in 1997. The Metsa Timber Group is a division of the Metsaliitto Group which is one of Europe's largest forest industry enterprises focusing on wood trading and forest products manufacturing. The Metsaliitto Group reported net sales of $4.86 billion USD in 1997. It has manufacturing operations in Europe and its products are marketed worldwide. The Metsa Agreement also expresses compliance with international guidelines for sustainable forestry. In order to achieve this goal, the Company has commenced a development project for an Eco-Efficiency Model through Eco-Rating International, Zurich, Switzerland ("Eco-Rating"), to help insure that its timber harvesting and milling operations in Brazil adhere to ecologically sound practices. Eco-Rating is one of the private sector's environmental rating agencies specializing in evaluating the environmental performance of a project, firm or product through an in-depth analysis yielding a numerical score. Eco-Rating has completed more than 50 evaluations in a variety of industries, ranging from forestry to waste management. (b) On March 27, 1998, the Company executed an agreement securing $14 million in equity financing, primarily to fund its timber operations in South America. The financing, through Bristol Asset Management Company II LLC, enables Nevada Manhattan to draw up to $14 million over a three-year period. The initial use of funds will be used to complete the relocation of the Company's Brazilian timber-sawmill operations as announced on February 27, 1998 (see "Business"). (c) From July 1997 through April 10, 1998, Jeffrey S. Kramer, Chief Operating Officer, provided loans to the Company, aggregating $603,017. (d) From the period November 11, 1997 to March 30, 1998, 2,746,709 shares of common stock were reserved to collateralize loans of the Company. The Board of Directors has authorized an aggregate 3,000,000 shares of common stock to either collateralize or retire outstanding loans. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION RESULTS OF OPERATION Comparison of Results of Operations - Nine months Ended February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997. ------------------------------ Revenues for nine months ended February 28, 1998 were $525,981 as compared to no revenues for the same period in 1997. However, net loss for the nine month period ended February 28, 1998 was approximately $4,309,480 as compared to a net loss of $1,456,000 for the same period in 1997. The net loss for the nine month period ended February 28, 1998 was attributable to Brazilian operations (approximately $1,642,000); consulting expenses (approximately $251,211); debt-related expense (approximately $353,000); interest expense (approximately $268,000); legal fees (approximately $240,000); printing (approximately $85,000); shareholder expense (approximately $64,000), travel and lodging mostly related to Brazilian operations (approximately $150,000 and $120,000 respectively); salaries for Nevada and Calabasas operations (approximately $594,000); telephone (approximately $72,000); office expense (approximately $95,000); accounting and auditing (approximately $47,000); Depreciation (approximately $56,000); and accrued Preferred dividends expense (approximately $58,356). Quarter Ended February 28, 1998 to Quarter Ended February 28, 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Revenues for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 were approximately $174,175 as compared to no revenues for the same period in 1997. However, net loss for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 was approximately $1,397,343 as compared to net loss of approximately $856,700 for the same period in 1997. The net loss for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 was attributable to Brazilian operations (approximately $504,000); consulting expense (approximately $64,000); legal fees (approximately $70,000); interest (approximately $113,000); debt related expense (approximately $127,000); shareholder expense (approximately $45,000); salaries for administration staff (approximately $200,000); and travel and lodging ($55,000 and $28,000 respectively). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's working capital position as of February 28, 1998 was a deficit of approximately $2,392,590. Almost since inception, the Company has experienced pressure on its working capital position due to operating losses and the need to continually invest in exploration activities on the Nevada Property and, more recently, the Brazilian Properties, the Silobat Property and the remainder of the Indonesian Concessions. 12 To raise funds in the past, the Company has relied upon private placements of its equity securities. Over the past three years, the Company has raised approximately $5,525,000 (including $525,700 in quarter ending February 28, 1998) pursuant to such private placements and notes payable to stockholders. The Company in 1997 concluded privately-negotiated placements of approximately Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) of 8% Senior Convertible Debentures with certain investors. The Company has entered into discussions with its Debenture holders in an effort to secure from the Debenture holders "lockup" agreements allowing the Company to retire the Debentures without market conversion to common stock pursuant to a registration statement. On March 27, 1998, the Company executed an agreement securing $14 million in equity financing, primarily to fund its timber operations in South America. The financing, through Bristol Asset Management Company II LLC, enables Nevada Manhattan to draw up to $14 million over a three-year period. The initial use of funds will be used to complete the relocation of the Company's Brazilian timber-sawmill operations as announced on February 27, 1998 (see "Business"). The Brazilian operations represent an opportunity for the Company to generate significant cash flows for the first time, particularly due to the Company's agreement with Metsa Timber (see "Subsequent Events") and the Bristol Asset Management financing agreement. The Company believes that with the anticipated increase in daily production at its Brazilian operations to 125 cubic meters per day, much of its continued operations in Brazil, Indonesia, the Nevada Property, and its operating expenses and overhead at its corporate offices will be funded by the cash flow generated from its operations in Brazil. The Company anticipates that it will require additional capital and intends to secure it through its agreement with Bristol Assets Management Company II LLC, by utilizing a publicly registered offering of its securities, a "Private Placement" and/or funds generated from its Brazilian operations. 13 NEVADA MANHATTAN MINING, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On November 4, 1996, the Company filed a complaint (the "Action") in Nye County, Nevada against Marlowe Harvey, Maran Holdings Inc., Calais Resources Inc., and Argus Resources, Inc. (the "Harvey Entities"). The complaint in the Action alleges, amongst other things, that the Harvey Entities breached their obligations under various agreements. The Action, as amended is seeking a judicial declaration that Marlowe Harvey does not have any joint venture or real property interest in the mining claims included within the Nevada property. The Action also seeks compensatory damages and other financial relief based on the Harvey Entities' breach of contract and other causes of action. During April 1997, the Company through its counsel filed a first amendment to its Complaint in the Action. Counsel for the Harvey Entities filed an answer and a counterclaims in the action during July 1997. In their answer, the Harvey Entities have generally denied the allegations of the first amended complaint and have raised various affirmative defenses. In their counterclaims, the Harvey Entities are seeking an injunction preventing the Company from conducting activities related to the Manhattan Project pending resolution of the issues in the action and compensatory and punitive damages and other financial relief based on breach of contract and other causes of action. In July 1997, the Harvey Entities moved for a preliminary injunction against the Company preventing it from conducting further activities at the Manhattan Project without their consent, from issuing press releases describing certain real property as being wholly owned by the Company, and from using the same as security for loans. After a two-hour hearing on September 4, 1997, the court refused to issue an injunction against the Company. Instead, the Harvey Entities were ordered not to interfere with the Company's operations on the Nevada Property. Additionally, the Company agreed not to further encumber the Nevada Property pending trial. A trial date for some issues has been set for April 30, 1998. 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES The Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into ten shares of common stock on or before December 31, 1997, has been retired as of December 31, 1997. All accrued dividends have been paid (in Common Stock of the Company) and all Preferred shares converted into Common Stock (upon presentation of stock certificate to transfer agent). 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable. 14 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not applicable. 5. OTHER INFORMATION Dividend - -------- The Board of Directors declared a dividend to all shareholders of record as of December 31, 1997 consisting of one share of a new series of Convertible Preferred Stock (the "1998 Preferred Stock"), $1 par value, for every 100 shares of Common Stock owned. As authorized in the Company's Amended Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series A Preferred Stock filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 14, 1998, the 1998 Preferred Stock is convertible to one share of Common Stock for a period of one year and carries a dividend equal to eight percent (8%) of par value payable in cash or stock at the Company's election. Such dividends are cumulative so that if full dividends in respect of any previous dividend period are not paid, holders of the 1998 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive any deficiency before any dividend or other distribution may be made or declared by the Company with respect to any other class of stock including other series of preferred shares should the Company elect to issue such additional series. Each share of 1998 Preferred Stock will have attached a warrant to purchase two additional shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share for a period of two years (the "Dividend Warrants"). The Dividend Warrants are callable by the Company, at its option, at $3.50 per share. 6.

Michaels and Jeffrey Kramer hereby certify that: A. They are the duly elected and acting President and Secretary, respectively, of Nevada Manhattan Mining Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the "Corporation"). B. Pursuant to authority given by the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted the following recitals and resolutions: WHEREAS the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation provide for a class of shares known as Preferred Stock, issuable from time to time in one or more series; and WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of Preferred Stock, to fix the number of shares constituting any such series, and to determine the designation thereof, or any of them; and WHEREAS the Corporation has previously issued Series "A" Preferred Stock which has or will be redeemed pursuant to the Certificate of Determination duly filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on October 25, 1995, and the Board of Directors of the Corporation desires, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to reestablish and redetermine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to a series of said Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting the designation of said series; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors hereby fixes and determines the designation of, the number of shares constituting, and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to, said series of Preferred Stock as follows: (1) Designation of Preferred Shares. The Corporation shall have a series of Preferred Stock which shall be designated "Series A Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The Series A Preferred Stock is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Preferred Stock." The Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $1.00 per share. (2) Number of Preferred Shares. The number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 250,000. Initially, each shareholder of record holding at least 100 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Preferred Stock at the rate of one share of Preferred Stock for every 100 shares of common stock so owned by him, her or it (as the case may be) as of such record date. No fractional shares of Preferred Stock shall be issued. Thereafter, the Board of Directors may issue all or a portion of the remaining shares of Preferred Stock on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine. 2 (3) Dividends. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the par value per share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of any funds legally available therefor, payable on or before December 31, 1998. Such dividends shall be cumulative, so that if the full dividends in respect of any previous dividend period shall not have been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, whether or not earned, whether or not funds of the Corporation are legally available therefor and whether or not declared by the Board, the deficiency shall be fully paid or declared and set apart for such shares (without interest) before any dividend or other distribution shall be paid on or declared or set apart for any other class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, and before any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any other class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized. The Company may pay the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock in cash, or through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock having an issue price equal to the amount of the dividend, or through a combination of the foregoing. (4) Liquidation Preference. a. Preference on Series A Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of shares of any other class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation, an amount equal to Three Dollars Fifty Cents ($3.50) per share plus a further amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, as either such amount may be adjusted from time to time to give effect to stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions affecting the Series A Preferred Stock. All of the preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to, the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. After the payment or the setting apart for payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the preferential amount so payable to them, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation. If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution are insufficient to provide for the payment of the full preferential amount for each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, such assets as are available shall be distributed ratably among the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. b. Consolidation or Merger. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or a series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section (4). 3 c. Noncash Distributions. If any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under this Section (4), then the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage independent competent appraisers to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser's valuation, give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the appraiser's valuation. d. Consent for Certain Repurchase. Each holder of an outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have consented to distributions made by the Corporation in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees or consultants upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase between the Corporation and such persons. (5) Warrants to Purchase Additional Common Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock shall include the right to purchase two (2) shares of Common Stock through December 31, 1999 at a price of Three Dollars ($3.00) per share, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section (6) b. Exercise of the warrants may be made in whole or in part through December 31, 1999, provided, however, that no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with such exercise. (6) Conversion. The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock hall have the following conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights"). a. Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock initially shall be converted on or before 5:00 p.m. (PST) on December 31, 1998, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Corporation (the "Conversion Ratio"). b. Adjustments to Conversion Ratio. (i) Stock Dividends and Subdivisions. If, after the date of the first issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall declare and issue additional shares of Common Stock, by reason of the declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or by reason of a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock) without a corresponding subdivision or dividend with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio of the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such declaration or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such declaration or subdivision, be propotionately increased. (ii) Adjustments for Combinations or Con-solidation of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock without a corresponding combination or consolidation with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Ratio of the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately decreased. 4 (iii) Adjustment for Merger, Reorganization, etc. In the case of any merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation in which the shareholders of the Corporation are to receive cash, securities or other consideration for their shares, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such merger or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including all provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Ratio) shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. c. Mechanics of Conversion. Any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section (6) by any holder shall be done on an aggregate basis taking into account all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder (i.e., such holder shall have no more than one fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock upon such conversion). Before any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that the holder elects to convert the same, and shall state herein the holder" name or the name or names of the nominees in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or to his nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid. Except as set forth in this Section (6) such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the day of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate so surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. d. Transfer Costs. The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp and other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. e. No Impairment. The Corporation will not, without the approval of the requisite number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or this Certificate of Determination or through any reorganization transfer of assets, 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 hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section (6) and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock against impairment. 5 f. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section (6) the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and shall furnish to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Ratio at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder. g. Common Reserved. The Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as well as the number of shares equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock which would be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants identified elsewhere in this Certificate of Determination. h. Registration. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock require registration or listing with, or approval of, any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under the federal or state law or regulation or otherwise, before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Corporation will, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, at its expense, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be. i. Status of Shares. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the Corporation be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. j. Cancellation of the Shares. Upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common Stock, said converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock. k. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right. l. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section (6) to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation. 6 (7) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be voted together as a single class at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, or may act by written consent in the same manner as the Corporation's Common Stock, upon the following basis: each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding shall have that number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, except that fractional shares shall not be permitted, and any fractional voting rights resulting from this formula (after aggregating all shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). (8) Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding the Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock: a. Change of Rights. Alter or change the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock so as materially and adversely to affect the Series A Preferred Stock; or b.
