(b) Form 8-K, dated February 6, 2004, disclosing the pending acquisition

All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a),

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Nevada Revised Statutes 78.750, 751, and 752 have similar provisions that
provide for discretionary and mandatory indemnification of officers, directors,
employees, and agents of a corporation. Under these provisions, such persons may
be indemnified by a corporation against expenses, including attorney's fees,
judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to any action, suit or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, he must be indemnified
by a corporation against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
Any indemnification, unless ordered by a court or advanced by a
corporation, must be made only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent
is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
o By the stockholders;
o By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to that act, suit or proceeding;
o If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
o If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act,
suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion;
o Expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as
they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by a corporation.
o To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2,
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, a corporation
shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense.
SEC Position on Indemnification
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not Applicable

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 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;
(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 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 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 connected 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
