NOTE I – SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

Subject to preferences which might be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. The Company's revolving credit facility restricts the Company from paying dividends. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, holders of the common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights and is not subject to call or assessment by the Company. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. The Board of Directors has the authority, without any further vote or action by the Company's shareholders, to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares, designations, relative rights (including voting rights), preferences, and limitations of those series to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by Florida law. The Company did not have any outstanding shares of preferred stock at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share. The Board of Directors has the authority, by resolution, to increase or decrease the number of shares, except that a decrease will not reduce the number of shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance on the exercise of options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Company convertible into Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Company did not have any outstanding shares of preferred stock at December 31, 2011 or 2010. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock was authorized in connection with the Rights Plan described below.

Rights Plan

On November 5, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan") and declared a dividend of one right on each outstanding share of its common stock. The Rights Plan has a term of two years. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share (a "Unit") of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $15.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment.

Under the Rights Plan, the rights generally become exercisable only if a person or group (i) acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or (ii) announces or commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in that person or group acquiring 15% or more of its common stock. Thereafter, all rights beneficially owned by the person or group that acquired (or that would acquire as a result of a tender or exchange offer) 15% or more of its common stock will become null and void. If they become exercisable, the rights entitle the holder of each right to purchase for the purchase price that number of shares of the Company's common stock that has a market value of twice the exercise price, subject to certain adjustments as provided under the Rights Plan. The rights are redeemable by the Company for $0.001 per right, subject to adjustment, any time before the rights become exercisable, including to permit an offer to purchase all of its common shares. Until they become exercisable, the rights will not be evidenced by separate certificates and trade automatically with the Company's common stock. The rights expire on November 5, 2012, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged, or amended by the Company.
