or more utilizing Regulation S-B of the SEC ("S-B offering"). The purpose of
this Agreement is for subscriber to supply $150,000 in interim financing to the
COMPANY.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The COMPANY did not report from 1998 until it
resumed reporting in November of 2005. The COMPANY is in the process of tracking
down and gathering information for the unreported time periods. COMPANY counsel
is in regular contact with the SEC Enforcement Staff, supplying information
regarding back filing plans. The COMPANY has also pledged to stay current with
new reporting filings as they become due.

but not participating in the active management of the funds.

or federal securities regulatory authority and that the parties are relying upon
exemptions from registration under state and federal law, or, the parties are
