(the "Company") in connection with action taken by the Company to increase its authorized capital stock from 5,000,000 common shares to 25,000,000 common shares in order to facilitate a two-for-one split of the Company's outstanding common shares on April 15, 1998. No consent or proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors approved the aforementioned charter amendment and stock split on March 9, 1998. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about April 6, 1998 to the holders of record of the Company's common stock on March 31, 1998. As of the mailing date, 2,438,459 shares of the Company's common stock are outstanding and entitled to vote. For a charter amendment to be approved, a majority of the outstanding common shares of the Company must be voted in favor of the proposal. Each common share has one vote. The holders of 2,043,530 shares, more than the minimum number of common shares required to approve the proposal, executed a written consent on March 9, 1998 evidencing their votes in favor of the proposal to increase the Company's authorized capital stock; accordingly, recipients of this Information Statement ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE. The charter amendment became effective on or about March 24, 1998 following filing of Articles of Amendment with the Florida State Department. BACKGROUND On February 26, 1998 the Company was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") that the Company's securities would be delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market for failure to maintain 500,000 shares in the "public float". The public float is def- ================================== The date of this Information Statement is April 6, 1998. 4 ined as shares that are not held directly or indirectly by an officer or director of the issuer or by any other person who beneficially owns more than 10 percent of the total shares outstanding. The Company has 394,429 shares in the public float. To remedy the deficiency, the Company decided to double the number of shares outstanding, which would double the number of shares in the public float, bringing the Company into compliance with the NASDAQ maintenance standard. Doubling the number of shares outstanding is accomplished by effecting a two-for-one stock split. However, the Company did not have sufficient authorized capital for a stock split. Accordingly, by written consent in lieu of a meeting, all of the directors agreed on March 9, 1998 to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized capital stock from 5,000,000 common shares to 25,000,000 common shares. The Company's direc- tors beneficially own more than 80 percent of the outstanding common shares of the Company; thus the requisite action of the board of directors and shareholders was simultaneously taken. The directors also approved the stock split, which is not a matter requiring shareholder vote. On March 24, 1998 the Company filed Articles of Amendment at the Florida State Department increasing the Company's authorized capital. On March 24, 1998 the Company's officers filed an Issuer 10b-17 Report at NASDAQ disclosing the terms of the stock split, which is scheduled for April 15, 1998. On such date the Company shall file a Form 8-K Current Report and a Form 10-C with the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ disclosing the terms of the stock split and that the number of outstanding shares has doubled. EFFECT OF STOCK SPLIT --------------------- The stock split shall have the effect of doubling the number of common shares outstanding from 2,438,459 to 4,876,918 and doubling the number of shares in the public float from 394,429 to 788,858. Doubling the number of shares in the public float shall bring the Company into compliance with NAQDAQ listing maintenance standards and thereby allow for the Company's common shares to continue to be traded in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. SECURITIES OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT -------------------------------- The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 1998, information relating to the beneficial ownership of the Company's common shares by (i) each person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent, and (ii) each director of -2- 5 the Company.
