AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM TWO BILLION (2,000,000,000) TO TWENTY BILLION (20,000,000,000).

Our Board of Directors and the holder of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders have approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from two billion (2,000,000,000) to twenty billion (20,000,000,000).

Reasons for the Increase in Authorized Shares

The Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from two billion (2,000,000,000) to twenty billion (20,000,000,000).  At September 1, 2011, the Company had 1,996,054,699 shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding.  In addition, at September 1, 2011, the Company had outstanding 1,620 shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series J Preferred Stock”) and several convertible promissory notes in total principal amount of $1,101,220, each of which is convertible into shares of its Common Stock.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock and the convertible promissory notes is based on the price of the Common Stock on the date of conversion, which is subject to change.  At September 1, 2011, the Series J Preferred Stock was convertible into 4,050,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and the convertible promissory notes were convertible into 498,215,251 shares of Common Stock.  The Company currently does not have enough shares in its authorized capital to cover the conversion of all of the outstanding Series J Preferred Stock and convertible promissory notes.  The increase in authorized Common Stock is necessary to allow the Company to reserve adequate shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock and convertible promissory notes.

In addition, the increase in authorized Common Stock will provide the Company with the flexibility to pursue a variety of business and financial objectives.  For example, the Company may consider the sale of common stock or preferred stock, or incur additional indebtedness, in order to raise additional capital.  Further, the Company continues to evaluate the various components of its portfolio of businesses and may, as a result, explore acquisitions and other business opportunities to expand or strengthen its business, some of which could involve the issuance of additional shares from time to time and/or the incurrence of additional indebtedness in order to consummate such transactions.  Although the Company may explore possible capital raises, acquisition transactions and business opportunities, as of the date of this information statement, the Company does not have any definitive plans or arrangements to enter into such transactions.  Finally, the Company may issue additional shares from time to time to its consultants, directors or employees as compensation for services performed for the Company.

Certain Effects of an Increase in Authorized Common Stock

The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. The amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will not alter the current number of issued shares or change the relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock. However, because our stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any of our unissued Common Stock, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the absence of a proportionate increase in our future earnings and book value, an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock would dilute our projected future earnings per share, if any, and book value per share of all our outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

3

We could also use the additional shares of Common Stock that will become available for issuance to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. Although the amendment has not been prompted by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at the Company), an increase in authorized Common Stock could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control of the Company, including transactions in which the Company’s stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
