ACTION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND
CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
By unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company on March 10, 2010 (the “Board Consent”), the Board of Directors adopted resolutions approving a Reverse Stock Split on the basis of one share for every two outstanding shares, the Board Size Increase from one (1) member to seven (7) members and the Adoption of the Restated Bylaws, and proposing that such resolution be submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The actions taken by the Board of Directors with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, the Board Size Increase and the Adoption of the Restated Bylaws were subsequently adopted by the written consent of the Company’s stockholder entitled to vote a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on March 10, 2010 (the “Stockholder Consent”).
The reasons for, and general effect of, the Reverse Stock Split, the Board Size Increase and the Adoption of Restated Bylaws are described in “APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK,” “APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A SIZE INCREASE OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTOR” and “APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE RESTATED BY-LAWS,” respectively.
The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other matters other than that described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved or considered by the holders of Common Stock.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Information Statement is first being mailed or otherwise furnished to our stockholders, on or about March 19, 2010, by the Board to notify the Reverse Stock Split and the Board Size Increase that the holder of a majority of our outstanding voting stock have approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting.
No Appraisal Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, dissenting shareholders will not have rights to appraisal in connection with the Name Change discussed in this Information Statement.
Proxies
No proxies are being solicited.
Information Statement Costs
The cost of delivering this Information Statement, including the preparation, assembly and mailing of the Information Statement, as well as the cost of forwarding this material to the beneficial owners of our capital stock will be borne by us. We may reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses in forwarding Information Statement materials to the beneficial owners of our capital stock.
Householding of Information Statement

Shareholders Entitled to Vote
As of March 10, 2010 (the “Record Date”), 13,029,500 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. No other class of our capital stock or other shares was outstanding as of that date.
Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to the holders of our common stock for their approval. The consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock was necessary to authorize the Actions.
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the actions approved by the Board and the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company.
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT
OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK
Purpose of Reverse Stock Split
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to effect the Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock on the basis of one (1) share for each two (2) shares, so that every two (2) outstanding shares of Common Stock before the Reverse Stock Split shall represent one (1) share of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split with all fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Board of Directors believes that the offering price of our Common Stock at $1.50 per share in a Regulation S offering closed on August 13, 2009 was undervalued and that the Reverse Stock Split will allow the Company’s Common Stock to trade in a more realistic price range when the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange. Additionally, the Company is seeking to list on a national securities exchange, including NYSE, NASDAQ or NYSE AMEX, and in connection therewith, must meet certain listing requirements, including a closing bid price requirement. The Reverse Stock Split may increase the price level of our Common Stock so that we may obtain financing with favorable valuation that meets the minimum bid price standard. Moreover, to be listed on a senior national exchange will create a more liquid public market for our common stock, and therefore may increase our stockholders’ return on their investment. Consequently, the Board of Directors has recommended that we effect the Reverse Stock Split.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
On the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each two (2) shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split effective date (the “Old Shares”) will automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders be converted into one share of our Common Stock (the “New Shares”). In the following discussion, we provide examples of the effects of a reverse split in the range of one (1) New Share for every two (2) Old Shares.
Corporate Matters. The Reverse Stock Split would have the following effects based upon the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 10, 2010:
● | every two (2) of our Old Shares owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for one (1) New Share; and |
● | the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 13,029,500 shares to 6,514,750 shares. |
4
The Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Common Stock, will be the same for all of our outstanding Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. As described below, stockholders and holders of options and warrants holding fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
The Reverse Stock Split will not change the proportionate equity interests of our stockholders, nor will the respective voting rights and other rights of stockholders be altered, except for possible immaterial changes. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the reverse split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a "going private transaction" covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Stockholders should recognize that they will own a fewer number of shares than they presently own (a number equal to the number of shares owned immediately prior to the filing of the certificate of amendment divided by ten). While we expect that the reverse split will result in an increase in the potential market price of our Common Stock, there can be no assurance that the reverse split will increase the potential market price of our Common Stock by a multiple equal to the exchange number or result in the permanent increase in any potential market price (which is dependent upon many factors, including our performance and prospects). Also, should the market price of our Common Stock decline, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would pertain in the absence of a reverse split. Furthermore, the possibility exists that potential liquidity in the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse split. In addition, the reverse split will increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the reverse split will achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.
Fractional Shares. No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of Old Shares not evenly divisible by the one for two reverse stock split ratio, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares of New Shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the stockholder any voting, dividend or other rights except to have his or her fractional interest rounded up to the nearest whole number when the New Shares are issued.
Options and Warrants. Holders of options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, who upon exercise of their options or warrants would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares, because they hold options which upon exercise would result in a number of shares of Common Stock not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio, will receive a number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Authorized Shares. The Company is presently authorized under its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock would remain the same, although the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will decrease. The issuance in the future of additional shares of our Common Stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights of the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of the Company’s Common Stock may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect as further discussed below. Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue such shares in future financings or otherwise. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock would be diluted. Also, the issued shares may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our Common Stock.
Accounting Matters. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio (for example, in a one-for-two reverse stock split, the stated capital attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced to half of its existing amount) and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will also be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.
5
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect. Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company), the Reverse Stock Split was not proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of Common Stock or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions having an anti-takeover effect to our Board of Directors and stockholders. Other than the Reverse Stock Split and Amendment, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other corporate action that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to a current stockholder of the Company that is a “United States person,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (sometimes referred to herein as a “U.S. stockholder”), and who holds stock of the Company as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the Reverse Stock Split. Tax considerations applicable to a particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s individual circumstances. The discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular categories of stockholders subject to special treatment under certain U.S. federal income tax laws (such as dealers in securities or currencies, banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment companies, real estate mortgage investment conduits and foreign individuals and entities). The discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. In addition, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold stock of the Company through such entities.
The following discussion is based upon the Code, U.S. Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change or to varying interpretation at any time. Any such changes or varying interpretations may also be applied retroactively. The following discussion has no binding effect on the IRS or the courts.
No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such stockholder’s deemed exchange of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Reverse Stock Split should be the same as such stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares being exchanged, and the holding period of the New Shares should include the holding period of such stockholder in the Old Shares.
Because of the complexity of the tax laws and because the tax consequences to the Company or to any particular stockholder may be affected by matters not discussed herein, stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of foreign, U.S. federal, state and local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A INCREASE TO THE SIZE
OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Purpose of the Board Size Increase
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to effect the Board Size Increase to increase the size of our Board of Directors from one (1) member to seven (7) members. The Company is seeking to list on a national securities exchange, and in connection therewith, must meet certain corporate governance requirements. The Board Size Increase to seven (7) members will allow us to appoint new directors and organize sub-committees of the Board of Directors to meet the specified listing requirements. Consequently, the Board of Directors has recommended that we effect the Board Size Increase.
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS
OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
