the filing of such reports and documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
General. The Company is authorized to issue 1,650,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.001 par value per share.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available
therefore. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all
assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities
and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having
preference over the Common Stock. The holders of the Common Stock as such have
no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no
redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
Voting Rights. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There
is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the
results that the holders of shares having more than fifty percent (50%) of the
votes for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.
Dividend Policy. To date, the Company has not paid any dividends
on its Common Stock. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future is within
the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's
earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition and other relevant
factors. The Board does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable
future, but instead intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the
Company's business operations.
ITEM 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not Applicable
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, eliminate the
personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Nevada law. The
Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall have the power to indemnify its
officers and directors to the extent permitted by the Revised Code of Nevada.
The Revised Code of Nevada authorize a corporation to indemnify directors,
officers, employees or agents of the corporation in non-derivative suits if such
party acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful, as determined in accordance with Nevada law.
The provisions affecting personal liability do not abrogate a
director's fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders, but eliminate
personal liability for monetary damages for breach of that duty. The provisions
do not, however, eliminate or limit the liability of a director for failing to
act in good faith, for engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating
a law, for authorizing the illegal payment of a dividend or repurchase of stock,
for obtaining an improper personal benefit, for breaching a director's duty of
loyalty, which is generally described as the duty not to engage in any
transaction which involves a conflict between the interest of the Company and
those of the director, or for violations of the federal securities laws.
The provisions regarding indemnification provide, in essence, that the
Company will indemnify its directors against expenses (including attorneys
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the
director's status as a director of the Company, including actions brought by or
on behalf of the Company (shareholder derivative actions). The provisions do not
require a showing of good faith. Moreover, they do not provide indemnification
for liability arising out of willful misconduct, fraud, or dishonesty, for
"short-swing" profits violations under the federal securities laws, for the
receipt of illegal remuneration or if the director received a benefit in money,
property or services to which the director is not legally entitled. The
provisions also do not provide indemnification for any liability to the extent
such liability is covered by insurance.
The provisions also limit or indemnify against liability resulting from
grossly negligent decisions including grossly negligent business decisions
relating to attempts to change control of the Company.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
The restricted securities not acquired under a registration statement
filed under the Securities Act which are to be re-offered or resold pursuant to
this registration statement were originally issued by the Company either to
Selling Shareholders, who, at the time of issuance were officers or employees of
the Company, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 701
under the Securities Act of 1933, or to Selling Shareholders, who at the time of
issuance were officers or key employees of the Company, pursuant to the
exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of
Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each of the latter group of Selling
Shareholders had access to adequate information prior to his or acquisition of
stock as a result of a business relationship with the Company. In addition, at
the time of purchase, each such Selling Shareholder represented that he or she
was acquiring such securities for his own account for investment, without any
present intention of selling or further distributing the same.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form
F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of
the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Amendment to
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
