Other Events On October 21, 1998, the NASDAQ stock permitted trading of the company's shares on the basis of the reverse split of the Company's outstanding common stock in the amount of 1-for-310 and a reduction in the Company's class of authorized common stock to 5,000,000 shares. The par value remains at $0.01. The Company's Board of Directors approved the reverse split on October 7, 1998 by consent to action without a meeting of the board of directors pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes 78.315 and 78.325. Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.207, an action involving a change in the number of authorized or outstanding shares of a Corporation can be accomplished by approval of the board of directors without a need for stockholder approval. Effective October 19,1998, each 310 shares held by the Company's shareholders were converted into one share. All fractional shares were rounded to the nearest whole number. The board of directors authorized the stock split because they believed that the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock was disproportionately large given the Corporation's absence of revenue, net income and net worth. Immediately after the reverse split, the Company will have approximately 97,177 total shares of its $0.01 common stock issued and outstanding. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
