CURRENT INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY The following is a description of the current operations of the Company THE COMPANY Nord Oil International, Inc. (f/k/a/ Bio-Tracking Security Inc.) (the "Company") is a Florida registered company. Until October 29, 2003, the Company was pursuing its business plan of developing a custom market research firm which would provide business intelligence to Fortune 2000 companies seeking to enter or enhance their market presence in the People's Republic of China, with its partner, The China Economic Information Network (CEINet), an official government agency of the State Development and Planning Commission. On October 29, 2003, the Company announced that it would seek to mutually terminate its joint venture agreement with CEINet. The board of directors of the Company had agreed that this decision was necessary due to CXN's continued inability to meet its obligations under its agreement. On December 2, 2003, the Company concluded the acquisition of Montreal (Canada) based Bio-Tracking Security Inc. (Bio-Tracking). Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Bio-Tracking in exchange for 100,000,000 shares of the Company. Effective May 11, 2006, the Company, by way of a reverse merger, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of two divisions of the North-West Oil Group, namely "North-West Oil Group-Saratov" Ltd. and Company "Neftegazenergo" Ltd. As the result of that merger, the Company shareholders will own a total of 41% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company and the shareholders of the North-West Oil Group will own 59% of the Company. History and Development of Nord Oil International, Inc. Bio-Tracking security Inc. of Montreal, Quebec, designs and manufactures vehicle and asset tracking and security systems, based on patent pending, Inertial Navigation, Biometric Fingerprint Identification and Spread Spectrum Communication technologies. On June 15, 2005, we completed our acquisition of Nord Oil, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. On June 15, 2005, we completed our acquisition of Nord Oil, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. Nord Oil International Inc. is a reporting publicly traded Oil & Gas junior producer, trading under the ticker NDOL on the US Over-The-Counter market. Nord Oil International Inc. is the corporate holding company, which wholly owns three Russian subsidiaries; Nord Oil Products LLC, Nord Oil Samara LLC and NANA A LLC. Mission The Company's mission is to become one of the leaders in the industry sector in terms of technological advancements, growth rates, quality of oil products and efficiency of business management, while creating substantial shareholder value and contributing to increasing shareholder income through an equitable distribution of profits. Russian Oil Industry Russia has around 49 bln. Barrels of proven oil reserves (4.8% of world's reserves) ranking six in the world. At the moment about 2,000 oil- and oil and gas deposits have been discovered in the territory of 36 out of 89Russian subjects. Hydrocarbon material is produced in 30 out of those 36. For its main criteria Russia is now making a transition from the mature stage of development to the late stage. Hence, the medium stage of development is typical of West Siberian deposits, which make the country's main source of raw materials and is partially typical of the European North. The oil producing areas of Urals and Volga, North Caucasus and Sakhalin Island are at the late stage of development. Only the deposits of East Siberia, Far East and sea shelves are at the initial stage of development. Today oil output can be increased only due to the prolongation of "young age" of provinces, i.e. discovery of new structural stages of oil-and-gas presence, or due to the discovery of new and rich provinces. Following the 2003 results the output of oil in Russia grew by 10.7%. In January and February of 2004 the output of oil produced by Russian oilers increased by 11.5% as compared the previous year. The preliminary data of March 2004 speak of the continuing tendency of oil production growth. Oil export grows even faster. In January and February of 2004 export via Transneft oil pipelines exceeded the similar previous year figure by 21.8%. Oil export by railways doubled and made up 109%. The maintaining of production rate requires state and private investments both in the upgrading of oil production and improvement of infrastructure. Samara Region The Samara Region is situated in the south-eastern part of Eastern European Plain in the middle part of the Volga and occupies the area of 53.600 square kilometres. It borders the Uliyanovsk Region, the Orenburg Region, the Saratov Region and the Republic of Tatarstan. The Samara Region has a population of 3,239 thousand people. Samara and Togliatti are major seaports on the Volga playing an important role in the transportation system of the European Russia. The Samara Region is run across by national Russian railways and highways as well as by oil-, gas- and product pipelines. Oil and associated gas are the region's most important mineral resources. The current geological reserves amount to approximately 2 bln. tons, but the volume of remaining recoverable commercial reserves is much lower - around 0.35 bln. tons. 130 oilfields have been discovered in the region; 67 of them are on stream. AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY Effective May 11, 2006, the Company, by way of a reverse merger, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of two divisions of the North-West Oil Group, namely "North-West Oil Group-Saratov" Ltd. and Company "Neftegazenergo" Ltd. As the result of that merger, the Company shareholders will own a total of 41% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company and the shareholders of the North-West Oil Group will own 59% of the Company. One condition to the Share Exchange Agreement was a s follows: Section 4.2 Following the signature of this Agreement, Party 2 shall cause the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Party 2 to be amended: . . . . .to change the name of Nord Oil International Inc. to Nord-West Oil Group. Accordingly, we are fulfilling our contractual obligation pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement by changing our name to Nord-West Oil Group, Inc. This action has been approved by the Board and the written consents of the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company. AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES Common Stock The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 530,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as Common Stock, $.001 par value, 30,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, $.001 par value (the "Preferred Stock"). All shares of Common Stock are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights. Owners of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share they own at any shareholders' meeting. Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company's Board out of funds legally available therefore, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to shareholders. There are no preemptive rights or privileges with respect to any shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares of Common Stock voting for election of the directors may elect all of the directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares of Common Stock aggregating less than 50% would not be able to elect any directors. Increase Authorized Shares of Common Stock to Fifty Million Authorized Shares A majority in interest of the shareholders believes that it is advisable and in our best interest to have available additional authorized shares of our common stock in an amount adequate to provide for our future needs. This will be achieved by increasing the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. We may have future opportunities to engage in a private offering of our securities in order to raise additional capital or to attract business opportunities using shares of common stock as consideration. Currently, there are no definitive agreements respecting investment in the Common Stock or acquisition of another business. However, a majority in interest of the shareholders believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is in our best interest and that of our shareholders because additional shares of Common Stock will provide us with the ability to raise additional capital through a private offering or use Common Stock as consideration for a business opportunity. Because of the Board' discretion in connection with an issuance of additional shares of our common stock, the Board may, under certain circumstances, possess timing and other advantages in responding to a tender offer or other attempt to gain control of us, which may make such attempts more difficult and less attractive. Any additional shares of Common Stock issued would have the same rights and privileges as the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. For example, issuance of additional shares would increase the number of shares outstanding and could necessitate the acquisition of a greater number of shares by a person making a tender offer and could make such acquisition more difficult since the recipient of such additional shares may favor the incumbent management. Moreover, these advantages give the Board the ability to provide any such holders with a veto power over actions proposed to be taken by the holders of our Common Stock. This could have the effect of insulating existing management from removal, even if it is in the best interest of the common shareholders. The issuance of any additional shares of our Common Stock would also have the effect of diluting the equity interests of existing shareholders and the earnings per share of existing shares of Common Stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the number of shares issued. However, management believes that any additional investment or business opportunity, while diluting the equity interests of the shareholders, will enhance the current and future value of those shareholders' interests. This action has been approved by the Board and the written consents of the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company. DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL The general corporation law of the State of Florida does not provide for dissenter's rights of appraisal in connection with the increase in the authorized shares or changing of the name of the Company.
