NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING SHAREHOLDERS

The following action was taken by written consent of the consenting shareholders:

ACTION

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

MATERIAL TERMS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

    The consenting shareholders have approved a resolution providing the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) with discretionary authority to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a one-for-20,000 (1:20,000) reverse stock split of the common stock of the Company (the “Reverse Split”) at any time prior to March 23, 2013 or the next annual meeting of shareholders, whichever occurs first. The Board determined and recommended the split ratio based upon a review of the capital structure of the Company, including shares and convertible instruments outstanding, share price, general market conditions and the potential benefits of the Reverse Split.

    The amendment will be referred to in this Information Statement as the “Reverse Split Amendment.” The proposed form of the Reverse Split Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Attachment A to the resolutions approving the Reverse Split, which are attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit 1. The Reverse Split Amendment will become effective on the date it is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California, which date will be selected by the Board. The shareholders’ consent permits the Board to forego or postpone filing the Reverse Split Amendment if such action is determined not to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. If the Reverse Split is not effected by the Board prior to March 23, 2013 or the next annual meeting of shareholders, whichever occurs first, the authority to file the Reverse Split Amendment and effect the Reverse Split will lapse.

    If the Reverse Split is effected by the Board, the Board will fix a record date for determining the shares subject to the Reverse Split. As of the date of this Information Statement, the Board had not fixed a record date for the Reverse Split.

    The Board and the consenting shareholders believe that the Reverse Split will be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders because the Company believes the Reverse Split will maximize shareholder value. Management believes that the Reverse Split is in the Company’s best interests in that it may increase the trading price of its common stock. An increase in the price of the common stock could, in turn, generate greater investor interest in the Company, thereby enhancing the marketability of the Company’s common stock to the financial community. The potential increases in the trading price and greater interest from the financial community could ultimately improve the trading liquidity of the Company’s common stock.

    The effect of the Reverse Split would be to reduce the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding from 18,159,372,299 to approximately 907,969. The Reverse Split generally will affect all of the holders of the Company’s common stock uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that will result from the rounding of fractional shares.

    If the Reverse Split is effected, it will take place without any further action on the part of the holders of the Company’s common stock and without regard to current certificates representing shares of the Company’s common stock being physically surrendered for certificates representing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock each shareholder is entitled to receive as a result of the Reverse Split. New certificates representing the Company’s common stock will not be issued.

    No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any fractional shares will be rounded to the next whole share.

    The Reverse Stock Split was not adopted as a result of management’s knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise. As of the date of this Information Statement, our charter and Bylaws contain no provisions having an anti-takeover effect, the adoption of the Reverse Split is not part of a plan by management to adopt a series of such amendments, and management does not intend to propose other anti-takeover measures.

    Although the Reverse Split is not intended to have any anti-takeover effect, the Company’s shareholders should note that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Split could make any attempt to gain control of the Company or the Board more difficult or time-consuming and that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove management. Shares of common stock can be issued by the Board to dilute the percentage of common stock owned by a significant shareholder and increase the cost of, or the number of, voting shares necessary to acquire control of the Board or to meet the voting requirements imposed by California law with respect to a merger or other business combination involving the Company; however, the Board currently has no intention to effect such a transaction. In certain circumstances, our management may issue additional shares to resist a third-party takeover transaction, even if done at an above market premium and favored by a majority of independent shareholders.

    There are no adverse material consequences or any anti-takeover provisions in either our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would be triggered as a consequence of the Reverse Split. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not address any consequence of the Reverse Split.

    The Reverse Split will take effect upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of California. Under Federal securities laws, the Company may not file the Reverse Split Amendment until at least 20 days after mailing this Information Statement to our shareholders.
