Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On June 20, 2005, The Company sold 2 million shares of its common stock, .001 par value (common stock), and a warrant to purchase 2.5 million shares of common stock (warrant), for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. The warrant is immediately exercisable, has an exercise price of $.10 per share and a term of three years. In connection with the raising of this $200,000, the Company has issued, as a finders fee, a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $.10 per share, for a term of one year.
The Company believes that the foregoing transaction was exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of investors, each of whom was an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and was sophisticated about business and financial matters, each such investor had the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and all shares issued were subject to restriction on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchasers were not underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the Act.
