the following action:
o Increase the authorized capital stock to 500 million shares of

Act. The shareholder holding all of the Series "A" Convertible Preferred Stock,
which constitutes the majority voting power of the Company has adopted, ratified
and approved resolutions to effect the action described. No other votes are
required or necessary. See the caption "Vote Required for Approval," below.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
-------------------------------
The Nevada Business Corporation Act ("Nevada Law") does not provide for
dissenter's rights of appraisal in connection with the corporate action to be
taken.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
-----------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 1, 2005 as
the record date for the determination of the common shareholders entitled to
notice of proposed action by written consent. At the record date, the Company
had outstanding 4,981,332 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and
100,000 shares of Series "A" Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share. The holder of the Company's Series "A" Convertible Preferred Stock ,who
holds the majority voting power on the record date, has signed a consent to the
taking of the corporate action described. This consent will be sufficient,
without any further action, to provide the necessary stockholder approval of the
action.

CORPORATE ACTION TO BE TAKEN
----------------------------
AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Company's current authorized capital stock consists of 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 4,981,332 shares are issued
and outstanding, and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, all of which are issued
and outstanding as Series "A" Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share. Management believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders that the authorized common stock be increased to 500,000,000
shares. The increase in the authorized common stock will provide the Company
with needed stock to enable it to undertake financing transactions in which the
Company may employ the common stock, including transactions to raise working
capital through the sale of common stock. Since the Board of Directors believes
that the currently authorized number of shares may be not be sufficient to meet
anticipated needs in the immediate future, the Board considers it desirable that
the Company has the flexibility to issue an additional amount of Common Stock
without further stockholder action, unless otherwise required by law or other
regulations. The availability of these additional shares will enhance the
Company's flexibility in connection with any possible acquisition or merger,
stock splits or dividends, financings and other corporate purposes and will
allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special
stockholders' meeting, unless such action is required by applicable law or rules
of any stock exchange on which the Company's securities may then be listed. At
the present time, the Company has no plans, proposals or arrangement, written or
otherwise, to issue any additional authorized shares of common stock.
In certain circumstances, a proposal to increase the authorized capital stock
may have an anti-takeover effect. The authorization of classes of preferred or
common stock with either specified voting rights or rights providing for the
approval of extraordinary corporate action may be used to create voting
impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise gain
control of the Company by diluting the stock ownership of any persons seeking to
obtain control of the Company. Management of the Company might use the
additional authorized capital stock to resist or frustrate a third-party
transaction which might provide an above-market premium that is favored by a
majority of the independent shareholders. Management of the Company has no
present plans to adopt any proposals or to enter into other arrangements that
may have material anti-takeover consequences. There are no anti-takeover
provisions in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other governing
documents.
The second amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation will allow the
Board of Directors to effect a decrease in the issued and outstanding shares of
any class without the need to have a corresponding decrease in the authorized
shares of the same class and thereby avoid the need for shareholder approval of
such action. The amendment will allow the Board of Directors of the Company,
pursuant to NRS 78.2055 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act, to undertake a
reverse stock split of the Company's shares issued and outstanding of any class
without the need to obtain prior approval from the shareholders who will be
affected by the reverse stock split. When such action is taken, the authorized
shares of the affected class will not be correspondingly reduced. By undertaking
a reverse stock split without a corresponding decrease in the authorized shares,
the Company will realize additional authorized shares which can be issued in the
future. A direct consequence to the Company's shareholders of this amendment
will be that shareholders will not have the opportunity to approve or disapprove
any proposed decrease in the issued and outstanding common stock.
The amendment to Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation is set forth in its
entirety in Exhibit "A" attached to this Information Statement.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND VOTING RIGHTS
----------------------------------------------
The Company's authorized capital consists of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value $0.001 per share and 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 As of February 1, 2005, there were 4,981,332 shares of Common Stock
outstanding and 100,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which are issued and
outstanding as Series "A" Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of Common
Stock and the holders of the Series "A" Convertible Preferred Stock are each
entitled to vote as a single class on all matters to come before a vote of the
stockholders of the Company. The holders of the Series "A" Convertible Preferred
Stock hold the majority voting power of the Company and therefore will be able
to approve the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.
VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
--------------------------
Section 78.380 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act provides an outline of the
scope of the amendments of the Articles of Incorporation allowed a Nevada
Corporation. This includes the amendment discussed in this Information
Statement. The procedure and requirements to effect an amendment to the Articles
of Incorporation of a Nevada corporation are set forth in Section 78.390
provides that proposed amendments must first be adopted by the Board of
Directors and then submitted to stockholders for their consideration at an
annual or special meeting and must be approved by shareholders holding at least
the majority voting power of the Company.
Section 78.320 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act provides that any action
required to be taken at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders of a
Nevada corporation may be taken by written consent, in lieu of a meeting, if the
consent is signed by stockholders holding at least the majority of the voting
power of the Company as would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a
meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote were present and voted.
The person holding at least the majority voting power of the Company has
adopted, ratified and approved the amendment to the articles of incorporation
increasing the authorized capital stock as described in this Information
Statement. No further votes are required or necessary to effect the proposed
amendment or the other corporate actions to be taken.
The securities that would have been entitled to vote if a meeting was required
to be held to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation consist of 4,981,332
shares of the Company's common stock and 100,000 shares of Series "A"
Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of February 1, 2005, the
record date for determining stockholders who would have been entitled to notice
of and to vote on the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.
