PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Our Bylaws provide, among other things, that our officers or directors shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in our right to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the extent he or she is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. Even if not successful, we may, in our discretion provide such indemnification upon a determination by either our Board of Directors, independent legal counsel on a written opinion, or by our stockholders by a majority vote of a quorum of stockholders at any meeting duly called for such purpose, that indemnification of the director or officer seeking such indemnification is proper in the circumstances, that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner her or she reasonably believed to in or not opposed to our best interests and there is no finding of negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties and, with respect to criminal actions, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

These shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration provisions thereof, contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. On August 30, 2002, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Titan EMS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, we acquired all of the capital stock of Titan PCB West through an exchange of our common stock pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger") resulting in the issuance of 6,880,490 restricted shares of common stock to the stockholders of Titan PCB West. These shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration provisions thereof, contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder ("Regulation D"). There were 6 recipients of such shares in the Merger, each of which was a stockholder of Titan PCB West prior to such issuance, and each of which has represented to us in writing that he, she, or it is an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as well as a sophisticated investor. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, we commenced the Private Placement. Effective October 28, 2002, we amended the offering structure to provide for, inter alia, the offering of shares of common stock (without common stock purchase warrants) at $0.75 per share, reduced from the previous offering price of $1.50 per Unit (the "Repricing"). Each investor in the Private Placement who had purchased Units prior to October 28, 2002 agreed to surrender their rights to Units and to apply their respective investment amounts toward the purchase of shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. The Private Placement was closed on January 9, 2003. We sold an aggregate 2,792,567 shares of common stock in the Private Placement for aggregate proceeds of $1,990,516. These shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration provisions thereof, contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. There were 44 investors in the Private Placement, each of which has represented to us in writing that he, she, or it is an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D, as well as a sophisticated investor. Immediately after the Merger, each of Ohio Investors of Wisconsin and Irrevocable Children's Trust converted certain outstanding indebtedness of Titan PCB West into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, resulting in the issuance of 1,160,764 shares of common stock to Ohio Investors and 68,667 shares of common stock to Irrevocable Children's Trust. The conversion price at which Ohio Investors of Wisconsin and Irrevocable Children's Trust agreed to convert their indebtedness into shares of our common stock was initially determined by reference to the then contemplated offering price of the Units in the Private Placement. Accordingly, on December 9, 2002, we entered into a letter agreement with each of Irrevocable Children's Trust and Ohio Investors of Wisconsin to provide for the issuance of 1,160,764 additional restricted shares to Ohio Investors of Wisconsin and 68,667 additional restricted shares of common stock to Irrevocable Children's Trust , to reflect a corresponding adjustment of the conversion price to $0.75 from $1.50. The shares related to the conversion of these debts were issued subsequent to August 31, 2002.

These options were issued without consideration therefore and, as none of such employees is an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D, such options are not exercisable until a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to such issuance shall be effective under such act. As a result of certain of these employees no longer being employed by the Company only 240,000 of these options remain outstanding. In October 2002, we agreed to issue to an affiliate of Reitler Brown, LLC, our former legal counsel, warrants to purchase up to 48,753 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $1.50 per share expiring five years from the date of filing of a From SB-2 or Form S-8 covering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.
