(the "Company") closed two loans with separate lenders for an aggregate amount of $1.45 million. The first loan, from Z Capital, Inc., was in an original principal amount of $1,000,000 and bears interest at a rate of 8.25%, and was closed on August 13, 2001. Pet Quarters is obligated to pay $50,000 per week commencing September 11, 2001 until the loan is paid in full. At the request of the lender, which is an accredited investor, Pet Quarters agreed that it would issue 3,000,000 shares of Pet Quarters, Inc. Common Stock to Z Capital, in lieu of payment of a cash loan origination fee, for making the loan. The Company is obligated to issue the shares only if the Company's shareholders vote to increase the number of authorized shares available for issuance and only after such authorized shares have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company anticipates such a vote being held at its annual meeting of shareholders to be held in late 2001. In the event that the shareholders do not increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance, Pet Quarters is required to pay Z Capital a cash origination fee. The fee may be decreased if the loan is paid prior to January 29, 2002. The loan is secured by a lien on the stock of PQ Acquisition Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pet Quarters which owns substantially all of the operating assets of Pet Quarters. In a separate transaction which closed on August 17, 2001, Pet Quarters borrowed $450,000 in a single loan from an individual. The loan, which bears interest at 8.25%, is secured by a lien on the stock of PQ Acquisition Company, Inc. The entire principal and all accrued interest are due in full on February 17, 2002. The proceeds of these loans will be used for inventory and general corporate purposes including the payment of debt and payables. The Company is continuing to search for additional capital, which may include additional loans or the sale of equity securities. Item 6. Resignations of Registrant's Directors.
