PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT.
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
We hereby incorporate by reference the following:
| a) | Our last Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). |
| |
| b) | All other reports, proxy statements and information statements filed subsequent to the foregoing Form 10-K to pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). |
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
* | have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors; |
|
* | are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; |
|
* | do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and |
|
* | are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote. |
|
We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, present stockholders will own approximately 50% of our outstanding shares.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
-3-
Preferred stock
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. The terms of the preferred shares are at the discretion of the board of directors. Currently no preferred shares are issued and outstanding.
Transfer Agent
Our transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 500 East Warm Springs Road, Suite 240, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Its telephone number is (702) 361-3033.
ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
None.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Pursuant to our articles of incorporation and the laws of the state of Nevada, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act which may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION.
None; not applicable.
