On July 18, 1997, Bristol Technology Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation changing the Company's name from "Bristol Technology Systems, Inc." to "Bristol Retail Solutions, Inc." The Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was approved by the stockholders of the Company at its 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 1997. The Board of Directors of the Company proposed the name change to its stockholders because the Board of Directors believes that the name change will preserve the name recognition of "Bristol," while better reflecting the Company's business of retail automation systems. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1. In connection with this name change the Company changed its NASDAQ SmallCap market symbols to BRTL for the Common Stock and BRTLW for the Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants. ITEM 7.
