Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") for the past
twelve months; and
3. The description of the Common Stock contained in the Company's SB-2
Registration Statement filed on September 6, 2001 under the Exchange
Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
Prior to the filing, if any, of a post-effective amendment that indicates that

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Carr & Waddoups, LLC, Salt Lake City, Utah, is corporate counsel to the
Registrant and has rendered an opinion as to the Common Stock offered hereby.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to members of the
board of directors, officers, employees, or persons controlling the Company
pursuant to the immediately subsequent provisions, the Company has been informed
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
An officer or director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the
Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as an officer or director, except for liability to the Corporation or to
its shareholders for monetary damages for (i) acts of omissions which involve
intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment
of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Any repeal or modification of the indemnification rights granted to officers and
directors of the corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely
affect any limitation of the personal liability of an officer or director of the
Company for acts or omissions prior to the repeal or modification of the right
of indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the
Company 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 Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to 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 issues.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
No restricted securities are being reoffered or resold pursuant to this
registration statement.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
The exhibits attached to this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit
Index, which is found on page 6.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
3
(ii) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act");
(iii) 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; and
(iv) To include any additional or changed 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, only to the extent required by the
general rules and regulations of the Commission.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act,
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) That for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange 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 1933 Act, as
amended, may be permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant as outlined above or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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, executive officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, executive 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
