Section 607.0704 of the Florida Revised Statutes (the “Florida Law”) provides that the written consent of the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the Proposals as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as hereafter described, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority in the i nterest of the common stock of the Company.

This Information Statement is intended to provide such notice. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the Florida Law are afforded to the Company's stockholders as a result of the approval of the Proposals.

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Directors are elected by the shareholders at each annual meeting to hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified, and need not be shareholders of the Company or residents of the State of Florida. Directors may receive compensation for their services as determined by the Board of Directors, and in compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. See “Compensation of Directors.” The number of Directors as set by the Bylaws of the Company shall be no less than one (1) nor more than seven (7). Presently, the Board consists of three (3) members, namely Carl M. Berg, Kevin J. Gadawski, and Gerald A. DeCiccio. All of the above-mentioned directors have chosen to stand for re-election and have been nominated for re-election by the Board.

Voting for the election of directors is non-cumulative, which means that a simple majority of the shares voting may elect all of the directors. Each share of common stock is entitled to one (1) vote and, therefore, has a number of votes equal to the number of authorized directors.

Although management of the Company expects that each of the following nominees will be available to serve as a director, in the event that any of them should become unavailable prior to the shareholders meeting, a replacement will be appointed by a majority of the then-existing Board of Directors. Management has no reason to believe that any of its nominees, if elected, will be unavailable to serve. All nominees are expected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

The new amendment provides that if a proponent of a proposal fails to notify the Company at least 45 days prior to the month and day of mailing of the prior year's proxy statement, then the Company will be allowed to use its discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

Appendix B

M-GAB Development Corporation
Statement of Risk Factors and Other Considerations


We have not made any investments into other companies. We have not yet made any investments into other companies, and thus we have virtually no assets. We need to raise capital before we can make investments into, and offer managerial assistance to, other companies. We may not be successful in raising capital. If we are successful in raising capital, we may make investments that turn out to be worthless.
We have never generated any revenue, and we are not profitable . We were incorporated in March 2001 and have generated no revenue to date. Our primary activity to date has been development of our business plan, which has changed since our inception. Our success is dependent upon the successful development of our business model as a business development company, as to which there is no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, competition, and investment devel opment. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. We may not ever be profitable.
We need to raise capital in order to fulfill our business plan . To date we have relied on private funding from our founders and directors and short-term borrowing to fund operations. We have generated no revenues and have extremely limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Any equity financings could result in dilution to our stockholders. Debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we may be required to reduce or curtail operations.
Investing in our stock is highly speculative and you could lose some or all of your investment . The value of our common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in our stock. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies generally, and very small capitalization companies in particular.

Investing in our stock may be in appropriate for your risk tolerance . Our planned investments into other companies, in accordance with our investment objective and principal strategies, result in a far above average amount of risk and volatility and may well result in loss of principal.

We will face a lot of competition, most of which is better capitalized and more experienced than us . We will face competition in our investing activities from private venture capital funds, investment affiliates of large industrial, technology, service and financial companies, small business investment companies, wealthy individuals and foreign investors. As a regulated business development company (“BDC”), we are required to disclose quarterly the name and business description of portfolio companies and value of any portfolio securities. Most of our competitors are not subject to this disclosure requirement. Our obligation to disclose this information could hinder our ability to invest in certain portfolio companies. Additionally, other regulations, current and future, may make us less attractive as a potential investor to a given portfolio company than a private venture capital fund.
 
 
  16   

 
 

We are subject to regulatory risks as a business development company . We are subject to regulation as a BDC. The loans and other investments that we expect to make in small business concerns are extremely speculative. Many of these concerns will be privately held. Even if a public market for their securities later develops, the securities we purchase are likely to be restricted from sale or other transfer for significant periods of time. These securities will be very illiquid.

The services of our directors and officer are key to our future success . We are dependent for the selection, structuring, closing and monitoring of its investments on the diligence and skill of our officer, Carl M. Berg, and each of our directors. Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of its senior management team.

We plan to invest primarily in small, private companies . There are significant risks inherent in our planned venture capital business. We intend to invest a substantial portion of our assets in early stage or start-up companies. These private businesses tend to be thinly capitalized, unproven small companies with risky technologies that lack management depth and have not attained profitability or have no history of operations. Because of the speculative nature and the lack of a public market for these investments, there is significantly greater risk of loss than is the case with traditio nal investment securities. We expect that some of our investments will be a complete loss or will be unprofitable and that some will appear to be likely to become successful but never realize their potential. We intend to be risk seeking rather than risk averse in our approach to venture capital and other investments. Neither our investments nor an investment in our stock is intended to constitute a balanced investment program. We intend to rely to a large extent upon proceeds from sales of investments rather than investment income to defray a significant portion of our operating expenses. Such sales are unpredictable and may not occur. The terrorist acts in the United States of September 11, 2001 are the type of events that could severely impact a small company that does not have as many resources to ride out market downturns and would need immediate investment capital that might be temporarily unavailable.

There will be no liquid market for our portfolio investments . Most of our intended investments will be either equity securities acquired directly from small companies or below investment grade subordinated debt securities. Our portfolio of equity securities will usually be subject to restrictions on resale or otherwise have no established trading market. The illiquidity of most of our portfolio may adversely affect our ability to dispose of such securities at times when it may be advantageous for us

Even if our portfolio companies are able to develop commercially viable products, the market for new products and services is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Commercial success is difficult to predict and the marketing efforts of our expected portfolio companies may not be successful.

Our board of directors will value our portfolio investments . There is typically no public market of equity securities of the small privately held companies in which we intend to invest. As a result, the valuation of the equity securities in our portfolio are likely to be stated at fair value as determined by the good faith estimate of our Board of Directors. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our portfolio of securities may differ significantly, favorably or unfavorably, from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market fo r the equity securities existed.
 
 
  17   

 
 
Our quarterly results will fluctuate . Our quarterly operating results could fluctuate as a result of a number of factors. These factors include, among other things, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which portfolio companies encounter competition in their markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any one quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.
