PROSPECTUS (Subject to Completion)

Dated February 13, 2006


1,100,000 Units

each consisting of

two shares of common stock, two Class A Warrants and one Class B Warrant

     This is our initial public offering. We are offering 1,100,000 units, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock, two Class A warrants and one Class B warrant. Each Class A warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to 75% of the initial unit offering price. Each Class B warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to 100% of the initial unit offering price. The Class A and Class B warrants are exercisable at any time after they become separately tradable until their expiration date, five years after the date of this prospectus. We may redeem some or all of the Class A warrants at a price of $0.25 per warrant at any time beginning six months after the date of this prospectus by giving the holders not less than 30 days’ notice, which we may do at any time after the closing price for our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market has equaled or exceeded 100% of the initial unit offering price for any five consecutive trading days. We may redeem some or all of the Class B warrants, at a price of $0.25 per warrant at any time beginning six months after the date of this prospectus by giving the holders not less than 30 days’ notice, which we may do at any time after our gross revenues, as confirmed by an independent audit, for any 12-month period preceding the notice, are equal to or greater than $20 million.

     We anticipate that the initial public offering price of the units will be in the range of $12.00 - $14.00 per unit.

     Initially, only the units will trade. The common stock and the warrants will begin trading separately on the 30th calendar day following the date of this prospectus. Once separate trading in the common stock and warrants begins, trading in the units will cease, and the units will be delisted.

     We have applied to list the units, common stock, the Class A warrants and the Class B warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Pacific Exchange under the symbols “AMGIU,” “AMGI,” “AMGIW” and “AMGIZ,” respectively.

     Investing in these units involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of this offering, we encourage you to read this entire prospectus, including our financial statements and the notes to those statements. Unless indicated to the contrary, and other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, all information in this prospectus has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock on the date of this prospectus and a one-for-.339765718 reverse stock split effective on                                    , 2006.

     American Mold Guard provides mold prevention services to the residential home building industry. Mold prevention services is a growing service application that is currently being used by many builders throughout the United States. We believe that the low cost of prevention compared to the high costs of litigation and remediation provides a compelling value proposition to the builder. Additionally, we believe our value proposition extends to the homeowner by providing a level of health and property liability protection.

     Mold contamination is a major contributor to odor, premature aging and spoilage in homes. In addition, mold can cause health problems in humans. Due to the increasing frequency of mold contamination in residential real estate and the heightened public awareness of health problems associated with mold contamination, mold has become a prevalent issue in real estate litigation. Insurance companies are challenging mold coverage under existing policies and writing new policies that specifically exclude mold coverage. We believe that, as mold coverage litigation matures and new exemptions are incorporated into insurance policies, those who claim injury from mold have and will be forced to seek compensation for their alleged damages from other parties such as lenders, builders, building owners, designers, engineers and architects. We believe that this shift in mold responsibility focus will further drive the growth of the mold prevention services industry.

     Our solution to the problem of mold contamination involves removing all visible mold contamination from wood, concrete and other construction materials and applying a surface coating solution that prevents microbes from growing on treated surfaces. The materials we use are non-toxic, environmentally safe and provide long-term efficacy against microbial growth. We back our service with a warranty that extends for the entire “statute of repose,” the period during which, under state law, builders have continuing liability for construction defects. This warranty covers both property damage and personal injury arising from mold contamination on any surface that we treat. The personal injury aspect of this warranty is backed by a $2 million pollution liability mold giveback provision under our general liability policy with Evanston Insurance Company, rated A (excellent) by A.M. Best Company.

     Our initial business development efforts have focused on single and multi-family residential new construction because we believe this market segment provides our greatest growth opportunity. We currently operate 11 service centers in four regions - California, Florida, Texas and Louisiana. We have provided our services to over 350 national and regional single- and multi-family home builders. Our clients include national single-family builders such as Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc. and Centex Corporation, regional single-family home builders such as Issa Homes, Inc., The McCaffrey Group and Lenox Homes, and multi-family home builders, such as Global Construction Company, L.L.C., Hanover R.S. Limited Partnership, Bosa Development and Opus West Construction, Inc. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, national single-family home builders accounted for approximately 35% of our revenue, regional single-family home builders accounted for approximately 35% of our revenue and multi-family home builders, accounted for approximately 28% of our revenue.

     We believe that our revenue growth has validated our business strategy even though we continue to lose money. For 2003, our revenues were $182,000. In 2004, our revenues were $1.55 million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, our revenues were $4.1 million. During these periods we incurred losses of $1.2 million, $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

     Our objective is to be the dominate provider of mold prevention services in the building industry through the accumulation of market share and through the use of the “Mold Guard” brand. Our primary objective is to continue to build market share. The key elements of our growth strategy include:

  • maximizing our first mover advantage in the regions we currently serve by aggressively pursuing direct sales to large national and regional builders;

  • expanding into new regions by capitalizing on our existing relationships with builders and by aggres- sively responding to new opportunities, such as the rebuilding of New Orleans and other Gulf Coast communities;

  • continuing to build our “Mold Guard” brand identity;

3


  • creating industry demand by educating lenders, builders, contractors, architects, insurance companies, and the general public on the health risks and the legal ramifications associated with mold exposure, as well as on the value of our service;

  • expanding our service offerings; and

  • expanding into new market segments.

Risk factors  Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. 
  As an investor, you should be able to bear the loss of 
  your entire investment. You should carefully consider   
  the information set forth in the Risk Factor section 
  beginning on page 7 of this prospectus in evaluating an 
  investment in our securities. In particular, you should 
  consider our ability to continue as a going concern, our 
  limited operating history, our history of losses and cash 
  flow deficits, our need for capital, the newness of the 
  industry in which we operate and our lack of any propri- 
  etary products or systems. 

     The number of shares of common stock and the number of Class A and Class B warrants to be outstanding after this offering includes:

  • 230,770 shares, 230,770 Class A warrants and 115,385 Class B warrants included in the units to be issued to the holders of $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 10% unsecured promissory notes due August 31, 2006 (the “Unsecured Notes”), assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit. The actual number of units that will be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes will depend on the actual initial public offering price of the units;
  • an aggregate of 74,146 shares of common stock issued in December 2005, of which 56,085 were issued for services, 16,022 were issued in satisfaction of indebtedness in the amount of $58,947 and 2,039 were issued as an interest payment;

  • 1,359 shares of common stock that we will issue in February 2006 as an interest payment; and

  • 66,222 shares of common stock that we will issue on the date of this prospectus for legal services under an agreement that we entered into in December 2005.

     Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this prospectus assumes no exercise of:

  • any of the Class A and Class B warrants (including the Class A and Class B warrants that will be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes);

  • the over-allotment option granted to the representative to purchase up to an additional 165,000 units;

  • warrants to purchase 110,000 units granted to the representative in connection with this offering; and

  • any other warrants and options outstanding on the date of this prospectus.

Based on the accrued interest through January 31, 2006, we estimate that the Convertible Notes are convertible into approximately 631,010 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which would be further convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock.

In those cases, the trading price of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of losses and cash flow deficits and we expect to continue to operate at a loss and to have negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. This could cause the price of our stock to decline.

     Since our inception, we have incurred net losses in every quarter through September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, we had cumulative net losses of $7.5 million and a working capital deficit of $2.8 million. We also have negative cash flows from operations. Historically, we have funded our operations from internally generated funds, proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities, payment of obligations with common stock and negative working capital. From inception through September 30, 2005, we raised approximately $4.6 million from the issuance of debt and $1.5 million from the issuance of preferred equity securities. Our growth strategy is to increase our market share by opening more service centers. This is likely to result in additional losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that we will ever become profitable.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, you will lose your entire investment.

     In their report in connection with our 2003 and 2004 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that because we have incurred net losses and have a net capital deficiency and because we require additional funds to meet our obligations and fund the costs of our operations, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, it is likely that your entire investment will be lost. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend, in large part, on our ability to obtain additional financing—preferably from the sale of equity securities—to fund future operations and to significantly increase our sales. This offering is a principal element of our plan to move towards profitable operations. Even if this offering is completed, if, in the future, we are unable to achieve positive cash flow from operations or secure additional financing as needed, we may again experience the risk that we will not be able to continue as a going concern.

We have breached various covenants related to the Convertible Notes. If the holder of this debt calls the notes, we may be forced into bankruptcy.

     The Convertible Notes are in default because we have breached various covenants that we agreed to when we issued them. The holder has not yet sent us a default notice although it is aware of the breaches. If the holder were to call the notes, demand immediate payment and obtain a final judgment before this offering is completed, we may have to declare bankruptcy because we do not have the ability to repay the notes.

Our future success depends on broad market acceptance of mold prevention services, which may not happen. In that case, we may never achieve profitability.

     The market for mold prevention services is relatively new and small. As is typical of a new and rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market acceptance of, mold prevention services is highly uncertain. Currently, mold prevention services are not required by local building codes or the insurance industry, making it even more difficult for us to market our services. In order to be successful, we must educate property owners, builders and the public on the importance of mold prevention. We believe that one of the major obstacles we face is the lack of knowledge of the importance of maintaining indoor environments mold-free. We spend a considerable amount of time educating property owners, builders, contractors and the general public on the health risks associated with mold exposure and the value of our services. We can provide no assurances that these efforts will be successful or result in increased revenue. Our success also depends on builde rs allocating a portion of their construction budget for problem avoidance. In the event that builders do not have funds available for such purpose, the sales of our services will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that the demand for mold preven-

7


tion service will become widespread. If the market for mold prevention services fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, our business could be adversely affected.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to accurately forecast our revenues and appropriately plan our expenses.

     We commenced operations in September 2002 and incorporated in January 2003. As a result of our limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our revenue and plan our operating expenses. Revenues and operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on the volume and timing of the job orders we receive, which are uncertain. Some of our expenses are fixed and, as a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues. This inability could cause our net income in a given quarter to be lower than expected or our net loss to be higher than expected. In addition, our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. An investor should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies, including limited capital, marketing and sales obstacles and delays, inability to gain customer acceptance of our services, inability to attract and retain high-quality and talented executives and other personnel and significant competition. If we are unable to successfully address these risks, our business may not grow, our stock price may suffer and/or we may be unable to stay in business.

A significant portion of the proceeds of this offering will be used to repay debt. The balance may not be sufficient to fully execute on our growth strategy. As a result, we may need to raise additional capital in the future.

     Approximately 44% of the net proceeds of this offering will be used to repay existing indebtedness, including indebtedness owed to a number of our existing shareholders, and only approximately 53% of the estimated net proceeds of this offering, or $6.4 million, will be used for expansion, sales and marketing, capital expenditures and working capital. This amount will not be sufficient to execute our growth strategy in full. Since our growth strategy contemplates a national roll-out of service centers in targeted markets, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in the future, particularly if the warrants included in the units offered under this prospectus are not exercised. We could also face unforeseen costs, such as an increase in the cost of raw materials and operating expenses, which would further strain our limited financial resources. Also, our revenues could fall short of our projections because builders could discontinue ordering our services or for reasons unrelated to our services, such as severe weather or natural disasters in a region of the country where we have projected significant sales or a decline in the new construction segment of the residential housing construction industry, which would further increase our operating losses and negative cash flow.

If we need to raise additional capital in the future, we may not be able to do so on terms that are reasonable, if at all. This could cause our operating and financial performance to decline from previous levels or to be lower than expected, which, in turn, could negatively impact the market price of our securities.

     Other than this offering, we have no arrangements or commitments for additional financings. We do not have any currently identified sources of additional capital on which we could rely. New sources of capital may not be available to us when we need it or may be available only on terms we would find unacceptable. If capital is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be unable to continue to fully develop our business or take advantage of new business opportunities. In addition, our results of operations may decline from previous levels or may fail to meet expectations because of the higher cost of capital. As a result, the price of our publicly traded securities may decline, causing you to lose all or part of you investment. Finally, equity financing, if obtained, could result in additional dilution to our existing shareholders.

We may not succeed in establishing the “Mold Guard” brand, which could prevent us from acquiring customers and increasing our revenues.

     A significant element of our business strategy is to build market share by continuing to promote and establish the “Mold Guard” brand. If we cannot establish our brand identity, we may fail to build the critical mass of customers required to substantially increase our revenues. Promoting and positioning our brand will depend largely on the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high quality customer experience. To promote our brand, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses related to advertising and other marketing efforts. If our brand promotion activities fail, our ability to attract new customers and maintain customer relationships will be adversely affected, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations will suffer.

There is very little, if anything, about our service that is proprietary. As such, we are likely to face increasing competition, making it more difficult for us to capture market share.

     We do not own any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. The raw materials that we use are not owned or produced by us and are available commercially. Although we believe that the methodology we use in delivering our services is proprietary, there is very little we can do to protect it. Except for our senior executive officers, none of our employees or contractors sign confidentiality, non-compete and non-disclosure agreements. With virtually no barriers to entry, any number of potential competitors could enter the market and provide the same services that we provide. Competitors may misappropriate our methodology or our methodology may otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. This could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of your investment.

As public awareness of the health risks and economic costs of mold contamination grows, we expect competition to increase, which could make it more difficult for us to grow and achieve profitability.

     We expect competition to increase as awareness of mold-related problems increases and as we demonstrate the success of mold prevention. A rapid increase in competition could negatively affect our ability to develop new and retain our existing clients and the prices that we can charge. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial resources, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully. Compared to us, our competitors may be able to:

  • develop and expand their products and services more quickly;

  • adapt faster to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs and preferences;

  • take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;

  • negotiate more favorable agreements with vendors and customers;

  • devote greater resources to marketing and selling their products or services; and

  • address customer service issues more effectively.

     Some of our competitors may also be able to increase their market share by providing customers with additional benefits or by reducing their prices. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match price reductions by our competitors. In addition, our competitors may form strategic relationships to better compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual arrangements that could increase our competitors’ ability to serve customers. If our competitors are successful in entering our market, our ability to grow or even sustain our current business could be adversely impacted.

A significant portion of our sales is derived from a limited number of customers. If any of these customers decide they no longer will use our services, our financial performance will be severely and adversely impacted.

     For 2004, we derived approximately 30% of our revenue from Lennar Corporation or one of its divisions or subsidiaries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Lennar entities accounted for approximately 31% of our revenue. We cannot assure you that we can sustain this level of sales to this customer. If we do not diversify our customer base and this customer either stops using our services or reduces its reliance on us, our losses will increase.

If we fail to keep up with changes in our industry, we will become less competitive, limiting our ability to generate new business and increase our revenues.

     In order to remain competitive, serve our customers effectively and increase our revenue, we must respond on a timely and cost-efficient basis to changes in technology, industry standards and procedures and customer preferences. We need to continuously develop new procedures and technologies that address new developments in the construction industry in general, the market segments we serve and the regions in which we operate, as well as laws, regulations, rules, standards, guidelines, releases and other pronouncements that are periodically issued by legislatures, government agencies, courts, professional associations and others. In some cases these changes may be significant and the cost to comply with these changes may be substantial. We cannot assure you that we will be able to adapt to any changes in the future, that we will have the financial resources to keep up with changes in the marketplace or that we will be able to offset those costs with increases in the amounts we charge

9


for our services. This would cause our net income to decline, which likely will lead to a decline in the price of our publicly traded securities, resulting in a loss of all or a part of your investment.

We rely on our suppliers to provide us with the raw materials we need to provide mold prevention services and these third parties may fail to deliver us the material we need in a timely fashion, which could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to generate revenues.

     We use two products for our mold prevention services: baking soda and an antimicrobial agent. Our ability to service our customers depends on us having a regular and reliable source for these materials. We rely on our suppliers to provide us with adequate quantities of these products in a timely manner. A failure by our suppliers to provide us with these key products in a timely manner or in sufficient quantities will have an adverse effect on our ability to satisfy customer demand and could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our financial condition and results of operations. Timely delivery of these products could be affected by a number of factors including, labor issues at the supplier and shipper, inclement weather and product availability. We only have a supply agreement covering the antimicrobial agent. Recently, our principal supplier of baking soda was unable to satisfy our demand because it underestimated our needs. As a result, we had to delay fulfilling some of our contracts. If these shortages occur on a regular basis, we will lose revenue opportunities, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and could negatively impact our reputation, which could have longer term adverse consequences on our ability to grow our business.

We do not have “exclusive” or long-term firm commitments from builders for our services, negating any competitive advantage we get from these relationships.

     Although we have ongoing relationships with a number of national and regional home builders, none of these relationships are “exclusive.” In addition, we do not have any long-term firm commitments from builders to use our services. Even “preferred provider” status, which we enjoy with two national home builders, does not guarantee that we will be hired for a particular job or any job with that customer. As a result, our revenues are unpredictable, and we are highly susceptible to competition. There is nothing preventing any of our customers from entering into identical or similar relationships with our competitors or from discontinuing their relationship with us at any time. If a number of builders were to terminate their relationship with us at the same time or direct business to our competitors, our business, operating and financial condition would suffer.

We have a limited amount of general liability insurance coverage. A large damage award for personal injury or property damage could render us financially insolvent.

     There is increasing litigation in the United States over personal injuries caused by mold contamination and jury awards relating to such litigation are significant. If our services fail to prevent mold growth on a surface we treated, a person suffering property damage or personal injury is likely to sue us. In such event, our insurance coverage — $2 million — may not be sufficient. We intend to seek additional liability insurance coverage in the future. However, we cannot assure you that additional insurance will be available to us at a reasonable cost, if at all. Litigation that is launched against us and that results in a large jury award could render us financially insolvent.

Our business may suffer from lack of diversification, which makes us much more susceptible to adverse economic trends. However, if we offer new services, we may harm our brand identity and experience a decline in our operating results.

     Currently, we provide a single service — mold prevention — primarily to a narrow segment of the building industry — new home construction. The risks associated with focusing on a limited line of business to a limited market segment are substantial. If the new home construction market declines, if builders and consumers do not accept our services or if there is a general decline in market demand for, or any significant decrease in, the perceived need for our services, we are not financially or operationally capable of introducing alternative services within a short time frame. As a result, lack of acceptance of our services or a significant decline in the demand for our services could cause us to curtail or even cease operations. Recently, we have started to provide pest control services on a limited basis. Expanding our service offerings may require us to incur significant marketing expenses and capital investments, develop sourcing arrangements with new vendors and comply with additional regulatory requirements. These requirements could strain our managerial, financial and operational resources. Also, if we offer a new service that is not well-received by consumers, either because it is not effective or for any other reason, the “Mold Guard” brand and reputation could be adversely affected, our revenues may fall short of expectations and we may incur substantial expenses that are not offset by increased revenues.

Our future success depends on retaining our existing senior executives and hiring and retaining additional management personnel as well as skilled managers and sales personnel for our service centers. Losing any of our key employees or failing to hire new management level personnel could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.

     Our future success depends, in part, on the continued active participation of Tom Blakeley, our chief executive officer, and Mark Davidson, our chief financial and chief operating officer. We do not carry, nor do we anticipate obtaining, “key man” insurance on either of them. If, for any reason, Mr. Blakeley or Mr. Davidson decides to discontinue his active participation in our business, our financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. Also, our current management team is not sufficient for our projected needs. As our business grows, we will need to hire full-time chief financial officer, a vice president of operations, a marketing director and a director of human resources. Competition for such highly skilled executives in Orange County, California, where our executive offices are located, is intense, and we may find it difficult to hire the people we need.

     In addition, we must hire and retain at least one experienced and knowledgeable general manager and sales executive for each region in which we establish a service center. The competition for high-quality, skilled managers and sales personnel in the new home construction industry is intense, causing the search process to be time-consuming and expensive. Moreover, in certain parts of the country, it may also be difficult to find workers to staff the crews needed to perform our services at the construction sites. We may not be able to hire enough qualified personnel to meet our needs as our business grows or to retain the employees we currently have. Our inability to hire and retain the individuals we need could hinder our ability to sell our existing services. If we are not able to attract and retain qualified employees, we will not be able to successfully implement our business plan and our business will be harmed.

For a company our size, we have high administrative expenses, particularly because of the salaries paid to our senior executive officers. As a result, it will be more difficult for us to achieve profitability, which could cause our stock price to fall.

     Each of our two senior executives has an employment agreement under which his base salary is tied to our revenue. As our revenue increases, so do their salaries. Based on our revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, their combined base salaries are $370,000. Their salaries will continue to increase until our revenue reaches $8.5 million per quarter. These salaries represent a significant portion of our overhead and make it more difficult for us to achieve profitability. If our profitability is delayed, our stock price could decline, causing you to lose a portion of your investment.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, create operating efficiencies or achieve or sustain profitability.

     The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could strain our internal resources, leading to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in meeting important deadlines, resulting in loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our reputation and financial performance. Our efforts to grow have placed, and we expect will continue to place, a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, we could be faced with slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.

Risks Related to this Offering

     The holder of the Convertible Notes has the right to convert those notes into preferred stock that has rights and privileges that are superior to those of the common stock. This could make our common stock less attractive and depress its value.

     The holder of the Convertible Notes has the right to convert those notes into shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which, in turn, is convertible into an equal number of shares of our common stock. This could impair the value of our common stock for the following reasons:

  • The Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 8% per annum cumulatively from the date of issuance.

  • No dividends may be paid on any other class of stock unless and until all accumulated dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock have been paid in full.

11


  • In a liquidation, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to an amount equal to its liquidation preference, which includes the principal amount of and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes that were converted into Series C Preferred Stock and all accumulated but unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, before payments are made to other shareholders. In addition, after payment of the liquidation preference, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets with all other holders of our capital stock on a pro rata basis.

  • The Series C Preferred Stock votes with the common stock on all matters on as converted basis. Assuming the holder of the Convertible Notes exercised its conversion right in full on February 1, 2006, it would own approximately 631,010 shares of Series C Preferred Stock representing approximately 17.6% of our voting securities after this offering. That would make it our largest single shareholder and it would have significant influence in any matter that is presented to shareholders for vote.

  • The conversion ratio will be adjusted on a “weighted average” basis if we issue any shares of common stock or any debt or equity security convertible into shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than $3.36.

  • The consent of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock is required for significant corporate transactions such as a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger where we would not be the surviving entity and stock redemptions.

  • We could not issue any series or class of equity securities with rights and preferences that are equal to or superior to those of the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital or require us to pay a liquidated amount or give up other rights as a condition for obtaining its consent.

Our stock price may fluctuate after this offering, which could result in substantial losses for investors and significant costs related to litigation.

     The market price for the units, our common stock and the warrants will vary from the initial public offering price after trading commences. This could result in substantial losses for investors. The market price of our securities may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

  • quarterly and seasonal variations in operating results;

  • changes in financial estimates and ratings by securities analysts;

  • announcements by us or our competitors of new product and service offerings, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships;

  • publicity about our company, our services, our competitors or business in general;

  • additions or departures of key personnel;

  • fluctuations in the costs of materials and supplies;

  • any future sales of our common stock or other securities; and

  • stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-traded companies in general and in the construction services sector in particular.

     The trading prices of companies like us with a limited history of operations, history of losses and operating in a new service industry, have been especially volatile. Investors may be unable to resell our securities that they own at or above the initial public offering price.

We are controlled by a limited number of shareholders, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of key decisions.

     Immediately after this offering, our executive officers and directors will, in the aggregate, own 15.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, or 13.9% if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. As a result, these shareholders will have the ability to exercise substantial control over our affairs and corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including electing and removing directors, selling all or substantially all of our assets, merging with another entity or amending our articles of incorporation. This de facto control could be disad-

12


vantageous to our other shareholders with interests that differ from those of the control group, if these shareholders vote together. For example, the control group could delay, deter or prevent a change in control even if a transaction of that sort would benefit the other shareholders. In addition, concentration of ownership could adversely affect the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our securities.

As a public company, our administrative costs will be significantly higher than they are now, making it more difficult for us to be cash flow positive and profitable.

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as Nasdaq and the Pacific Exchange, where we plan to list our securities, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect that these new rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming. For example, in connection with becoming a public company, we will create several board committees, implement additional internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, retain a transfer agent, adopt and administer an insider trading policy and incur costs to prepare, file and distribute periodic reports in compliance with our obligations under the securities laws. We estimate that the annual expenses relating to us being a public company will be approximately $750,000 to $1,000,000. These expenses include additional amounts for legal and accounting services, listing fees for Nasdaq and the Pacific Exchange, transfer agent fees, additional insurance costs, printing and filing fees, fees for investor and public relations and compensation payable to non-employee directors. These additional costs will make it more difficult for us to become cash flow positive and profitable. In addition, these new rules and regulations and the increased responsibilities they impose on directors and officers, could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members for our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers.

If an active market does not develop for our securities, you may not be able to sell them when you want.

     Before this offering, there has been no public market for our securities, and we cannot assure you that an active trading market for the units, our stock or the warrants will develop or that the market price of the units will not decline below the initial public offering price. The initial public offering price of the units will be determined through negotiations between us and the representative. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our securities to fluctuate significantly. These factors include announcements of technological innovations or geographic expansion and new customers or new projects for existing customers, our operating performance and that of similar companies, market conditions in the industry, speculation in the press or investment community and the general state of the securities markets. In addition, quarterly fluctuations of our results of operations may also affect the market price of our securities.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. This could make our stock less attractive to potential investors.

     We anticipate that we will retain all future earnings and other cash resources for the future operation and development of our business and we do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Future payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account many factors, including our operating results, financial condition and capital requirements. Corporations that pay dividends may be viewed as a better investment than corporations that do not.

If we do not maintain an effective registration statement or comply with applicable state securities laws, you may not be able to exercise the warrants.

     In order for you to be able to exercise the warrants included in the units, the underlying shares must be covered by an effective registration statement and qualify for an exemption under the securities laws of the state in which you live. We cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain a current registration statement relating to the offer and sale of the Class A and Class B warrants included in the units and the common stock underlying these warrants, or that an exemption from registration or qualification will be available throughout their term. This may have an adverse effect on the demand for the warrants and the prices that can be obtained from reselling them.

The warrants may be redeemed on short notice. This may have an adverse impact on their price.

     We may redeem the Class A and Class B warrants for $0.25 per warrant on 30 days’ notice at any time after the specific redemption conditions in the respective warrants have been satisfied. If we give notice of redemption, you will be forced to sell or exercise your warrants or accept the redemption price. The notice of redemption could come at a time when it is not advisable or possible for you to exercise the warrants or a current prospectus or

13


exemption from registration or qualification does not exist. As a result, you would be unable to benefit from owning the warrants being redeemed.

Future sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause the trading price of our common stock and unit warrants to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings.

     Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our stock to decline and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Once this offering is completed, we will have 3,740,295 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and will have reserved an additional 5.7 million shares of common stock for future issuance as follows:

  • 3,646,155 shares underlying the Class A and Class B warrants (including the warrants held by the holders of the Unsecured Notes);

  • 825,000 shares underlying the over-allotment option, including the shares underlying the Class A and Class B warrants included in the units underlying that option;

  • 550,000 shares underlying the representative’s warrant, including the shares underlying the Class A and Class B warrants includable in the representative’s warrants;

  • 254,824 shares underlying warrants outstanding on the date of this prospectus; and

  • 427,707 shares reserved for issuance under our stock option plan.

     The common stock included in the units sold in this offering as well as the common stock underlying the warrants, other than those shares held by “affiliates,” as defined by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will be freely tradable without restriction. We have agreed to register one year from the date of this offering all of the securities included in the units that will be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes, which include 230,770 shares of common stock, 230,770 Class A warrants, 115,385 Class B Warrants and 346,155 shares of common stock underlying those warrants (assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit). Finally, upon the expiration of the one-year “lock-up” agreements to be signed by all of our existing shareholders (but not the holder of the Convertible Notes), approximately                     unregistered shares will be saleable without restriction under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and another                     unregistered shares will be saleable subject to the timing and volume limitations set forth in Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

The existence of outstanding options and warrants may impair our ability to obtain additional equity financing.

     The existence of outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect the terms at which we could obtain additional equity financing. The holders of these options and warrants have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the value or market price of our common stock and to exercise them at a time when we could obtain equity capital on more favorable terms than those contained in these securities.

Management has broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We may use the proceeds of this offering in ways that do not improve our operating results or the market value of our securities.

     We will have broad discretion in determining the specific uses of the proceeds from the sale of the units. While we have general expectations as to the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering, that allocation may change in response to a variety of unanticipated events, such as differences between our expected and actual revenues from operations or availability of commercial financing opportunities, unexpected expenses or expense overruns or unanticipated opportunities requiring cash expenditures. We will also have significant flexibility as to the timing and the use of the proceeds. As a result, investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use the proceeds. You will rely on the judgment of our management with only limited information about their specific intentions regarding the use of proceeds. We may spend most of the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree. If we fail to apply these funds effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

14


We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could depress the price of our stock.

     Our corporate charter authorizes us to issue shares of “blank check” preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further shareholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, the rights of the holders of our common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to liquidation.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

     The principal purposes of this offering are to repay debt and to provide us with the working capital we need to open new service centers. Assuming a public offering price of $13.00 per unit, after deducting the estimated expenses of this offering, including the underwriting discount of $1,144,000, the representative’s non-accountable expense allowance of $429,000 and other estimated offering expenses of $727,000, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $12,000,000. (Non-accountable expenses are expenses incurred by the representative in connection with this offering that are payable out of the proceeds of the offering, but for which it is not required to produce evidence of payment because we have agreed to pay a fixed percentage of the gross proceeds for this purpose.) If the representative exercises the over-allotment option in full, we estimate that the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $14,000,000.

     We expect to use the net proceeds as follows:

     Repayment of debt. All of our outstanding indebtedness, including unpaid principal and accrued interest through the date of closing, will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering. At September 30, 2005, our total outstanding indebtedness, was approximately $4.9 million, including the Convertible Notes, the Unsecured Notes, other unsecured debt (approximately $1.1 million) and accrued interest (approximately $320,000). Other unsecured debt includes two notes held by the representative with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $400,000 and accrued interest through September 30, 2005 of approximately $7,500. In addition, in November 2005, we borrowed $200,000, in January 2006, we borrowed $50,000 and in February 2006, we borrowed $100,000. Finally, and accrued interest for the fourth quarter of 2005 was approximately $50,000. The Unsecured Notes and most of the other unsecured debt must be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering. The Convertible Notes are due and payable in full on September 30, 2007 but are prepayable, without premium or penalty, at any time beginning or after September 30, 2006. It is our intention to exercise our prepayment right as soon as possible.

     Region expansion and new service centers. This is the amount we anticipate investing in new service centers over the next 12 months in regions we are currently serving and in new regions. Over the next 12 months we anticipate expanding into two to four new regions and opening eight to 12 new service centers. The exact number of new regions and new service centers that we open will ultimately depend on availability of capital, new business opportunities and strategic relationships. New regions are more expensive to start because of the investment in full regional infrastructure and time to initial revenue flow. We estimate the total cash investment to open a region and operate it until it becomes cash flow positive, including personnel, equipment and material costs and overhead, is approximately $400,000. We estimate the total cash investment necessary to open a new service center in a region we currently serve and operate it until it becomes cash flow positive is approximately $150,000.

     Sales and marketing. This includes the estimated cost of an additional eight sales and marketing personnel as well as the cost of an enhanced sales and marketing program that will target not only builders but insurance companies, lenders, architects and the general public. This program will include direct sales calls, telemarketing, targeted mailing, general advertising and appearances at trade shows and conventions.

     Capital expenditures. This amount consists primarily of property, plant and equipment, such as computer and communications equipment, needed to support an increase in business activity. It also includes the cost of upgrading our accounting software should we determine that an upgrade is necessary. It does not include any capital expenditures specifically associated with local service centers.

     Deferred compensation. This amount consists of $240,000 of accrued but unpaid compensation due to our chief executive officer and our chief operating officer, as well as a lump sum payment of $120,000 due when this offering is complete to our former president who resigned as of November 30, 2005. The accrued compensation will be paid over a period of six months beginning 30 days after the date of this prospectus.

     

16


Working capital. This amount includes working capital required for our general corporate purposes including rent, utilities, and insurance, as well as the working capital required by our local service centers until they becomecash flow positive. A portion of this amount includes the cost of searching for and hiring additional management personnel, including a chief financial officer, a vice president of operations and a director of human resources. We may also use a portion of the proceeds allocated to working capital for reducing our accounts payable and accrued expenses and to increase our general liability insurance coverage. If the representative exercises the over-allotment option, the additional net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million will be added to working capital.

     The above information represents our best estimate of our working capital requirements based upon the current status of our business. We will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds within the categories listed above. The amounts actually expended for these purposes may vary significantly and will depend on a number of factors, including our rate of revenue growth, cash generated by operations, evolving business needs, changes in demand for our services, the cost to open new service centers, our marketing efforts, competitive developments, new strategic opportunities, general economic conditions and other factors that we cannot anticipate at this time.

     Pending their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in interest-bearing, investment grade securities, or, if necessary to avoid being designated an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, United States government securities.

     We expect that the net proceeds from this offering, when combined with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for at least 12 months following this offering. We may be required to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or other securities sooner if our operating assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate. We cannot assure you that any financing of this type would be available. In the event of a capital inadequacy, we would be required to limit our growth and the expenditures described above.

DIVIDEND POLICY

     We have never declared or paid any dividends and we do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Any future decision to pay dividends on common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our fiscal condition, results of operations capital requirements and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

17


CAPITALIZATION

     The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2005 on an actual basis, on a pro forma basis and pro forma as adjusted for this offering. The pro forma data takes into account:

  • a $200,000 unsecured note that we issued in November 2005 and the proceeds from the issuance of that note;

  • conversion of all of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock into 324,307 shares of common stock;

  • 230,770 shares, 230,770 Class A warrants and 115,385 Class B warrants included in the units that we will issue to holders of the Unsecured Notes on the date of this prospectus (based on an assumed initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit);

  • an aggregate of 74,146 shares of common stock issued in December 2005, of which 56,085 were issued for services, 16,072 were issued in satisfaction of indebtedness in the amount of $58,947 and 2,039 were issued as an interest payment;

  • 1,359 shares of common stock that we will issue in February 2006 as an interest payment; and

  • 66,222 shares of common stock that we will issue on the date of this prospectus for legal services under an agreement that we entered into in December 2005.

     The pro forma as adjusted data also take into account our receipt of $12 million of estimated net proceeds from this offering and our use of approximately $5.0 million of those proceeds to repay all of our outstanding indebtedness.

     The $1.5 million of deferred interest costs (debt discount) associated with the Unsecured Notes will be fully amortized into interest expense when the notes are repaid. Of the $13.5 million constituting the net proceeds of this offering and the value of the units that we will issue to the holders of the Unsecured Notes, we will allocate $7.927 million to the common stock and $5.573 million to the warrants included in the units based on the estimated relative fair value of those securities.

DILUTION

     If you purchase units in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the excess of the public offering price per share of common stock over the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock after this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of the dilution computation and the following tables, we have allocated the full purchase price of a unit to the shares of common stock included in the unit and none to the warrants.

     At September 30, 2005, we had a negative net tangible book value of approximately $3.1 million, or approximately negative $2.03 per share based on 1,540,295 shares issued and outstanding on a pro forma basis. After taking into account the estimated net proceeds from this offering of $12,000,000, our net tangible book value at September 30, 2005 would have been approximately $8.9 million, or $2.37 per share. This represents an immediate increase of $4.40 per share to existing shareholders and immediate dilution of $4.13 per share, or 63.5%, to the new investors who purchase units in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

The number of shares owned by existing shareholders includes (i) 230,770 shares of common stock underlying the units to be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes on the date of this prospectus, assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit; (ii) an aggregate 74,146 shares of common stock issued in December 2005; (iii) 66,222 shares to be issued on the date of this prospectus; (iv) 1,359 shares of common stock that we will issue in February 2006 as an interest payment; and (v) 324,307 shares of common stock to be issued to the holders of our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock on the date of this prospectus. The actual number of units that will be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes will depend on the actual initial public offering price of the units.
 
(2) Does not include any shares underlying unexercised warrants and options.
 
(3) Based on an initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit.
 

     If the representative exercises the over-allotment option in full, the new investors will purchase 2,530,000 shares of common stock. In that event, the gross proceeds from this offering will be $16,445,000, representing approximately 79.2% of the total consideration for 62.2% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding, and the dilution to new investors would be $3.83 per share, or 58.9%.

     To the extent any options or warrants outstanding on the date of this prospectus that have an exercise price of less than $6.50 per share are exercised, you will experience further dilution.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     We provide mold prevention services to builders of single and multi-family homes. To date, we have provided our service to over 350 national and regional single- and multi-family home builders through 11 service centers located in California, Florida, Texas and Louisiana. Our clients include national home builders such as Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc. and Centex Corporation, regional home builders such as Issa Homes, Inc., The McCaffrey Group and Lenox Homes and multi-family home builders such as Global Construction Company, L.L.C., Hanover R.S. Limited Partnership, Bosa Development and Opus West Construction, Inc.

     Although our business continues to grow, we continue to lose money on an operating and cash flow basis. However, we believe that the primary reason that we have yet to be cash flow positive and profitable is because we continue to invest in our business by opening new service centers.

     Approximately 15% of the proceeds of this offering will be used to open new service centers in regions that we are currently serving and in new regions. Based on our experience, the total cost to open a service center in a new region is approximately $400,000 and the total cost to open a service center in an existing region is $150,000. To staff a region we typically hire a general manager, a sales manager, an operations manager and at least two three-person work crews. The equipment required for a region includes office computers, trucks, compressors, soda blasting equipment and ancillary peripheral equipment. In addition to these costs, there is also the cost for materials, including our antimicrobial agents and baking soda, fuel, rent and other operating expenses. To staff a service center we typically hire a sales representative, an operations manager and at least two three-person work crews. In some cases we may not add a dedicated sales representative to a new center because the area may be covered from another service center. The equipment required for a service center includes office computers, trucks, compressors, soda blasting equipment and ancillary peripheral equipment. In addition to these costs, there is also the cost for materials, including our antimicrobial agents and baking soda, fuel, rent and other operating expenses.

     Our future financial condition and operating performance may be affected by several industry trends. The major trends that we believe will have a positive impact on our business are the growth in residential housing construction and the backlog of homes to be built by our customer and prospective customer base. In addition, we believe public awareness of the health risks associated with mold contamination, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, the growth in mold-related insurance claims and litigation and the high cost of mold remediation will also contribute to our growth. On the other hand, higher interest rates, higher building costs, increasing levels of inventories in the housing construction industry and the general decline in the rate of growth of the new home construction industry could retard our growth. While we may be negatively impacted by these trends, we believe we will be able to manage these challenges through favorable pricing conditions in strategic markets and through continued efforts to control costs.

     To date, capital constraints have been the biggest obstacle to our growth. Lack of capital has prevented us from aggressively marketing our services. Marketing is an important part of our business plan because builders need to be persuaded to make our mold prevention services standard line items in their budgets. Additional capital will allow us to increase sales and marketing resources in our existing four regions as well as expanding into new regions. The lack of capital has also had negative margin impacts on our service operations in the areas of raw material cost, labor cost and labor productivity. Additional capital will allow us to implement operations improvement programs that we expect will lead to higher gross margins.

     Our strategy is to continue to establish new service centers throughout the country. Where we open new service centers and how many we will open will depend on a number of factors including existing customer demand, the strength of the new housing market in a particular region, the extent to which mold may or may not be a problem in a particular region, the availability of capital and other opportunities. In our experience, a new service center usually does not become cash flow positive until it has been operating for at least eight months and it does not become profitable until it has been operating for approximately one year. As a result, an aggressive expansion program would adversely affect our financial performance. On the other hand, we believe that an aggressive expansion policy would enable us to achieve our goal of capturing a larger market share relatively quickly in advance of our existing and potential competitors. One of the challenges we face is balancing our goals of achieving profitability as soon as possible and capturing market share.

     In addition, we intend to expand our service offerings to the residential segment of the construction industry to include similar or related services. For example, in February 2005 we acquired Trust One Termite, Inc., a

21


provider of pest control services. As a result, we are now a licensed pesticide operator in California and can offer pest prevention treatments to our customers in the State of California. We issued 3,428 shares of common stock, valued at $12,500, for all of the stock of Trust One. At the time of acquisition, Trust One’s assets included $9,000 of cash.

     We measure our business using both financial and other operating metrics. The financial metrics include revenue, gross margin, operating expenses and income from continuing operations. The operating metrics include (i) new sales order activity, (ii) service schedule, (iii) material usage, and (iv) crew productivity.

               

New Sales Order Activity. With this metric we measure the level of new customer commitments in terms of new clients and dollar value of orders. We use this metric to gauge the effectiveness of our sales efforts. The data is gathered by sales representative, by region and by month. We monitor new order activity between project type: single-family versus multi-family. We also analyze new orders based on our customer segmentations of regional builders and national builders.

Service Schedule. We utilize this data to evaluate the demand for services in each service center or region. This measurement allows us to identify unused service capacity and to shift capacity, when necessary, to service centers with greater demand.

Material Usage. As material cost represents a key component of our total cost of service, we use this metric to gauge the relative usage of material in each service center and region. The material usage rate for soda can vary depending on the amount of mold contamination on the wood surfaces required to be removed, the relative humidity of the region and the proficiency of the crews. We monitor the material usage rate in order to help identify service centers that may need operational improvements or training to decrease their relative cost of service.

Crew Productivity. This measure focuses on our cost of service. We have planning standards for each region that we use to plan crew labor requirements. Measuring productivity, how many square feet of construction are treated in a day, allows us to analyze the effectiveness of our labor force and crew leaders. Anticipated productivity by project is also a determining factor in project pricing. Again, the productivity levels vary depending on the type of project (single-family versus multi-family), the climate conditions, the training level and experience of the crew and the amount of mold contamination to be removed from the project.

   
Our Business Growth

     Our revenue growth in 2004 and 2005 is a result of expansion within existing regions and into new regions. Since the beginning of 2004, we have established new operations in California (expanded to Northern California in February 2004), Florida (opened in May 2004), Texas (opened in October 2004) and Louisiana (opened in October 2005).

  • The California region currently has six service centers serving the Bay Area, Sacramento, Fresno and Southern California. We had $1,148,000 in revenue for 2004 and $2,076,000 in revenue for the first nine months of 2005 in California, an 81% increase in year-to-date 2005 over the full year 2004.

  • The Florida region, which opened in May 2004, currently has three service centers serving Tampa, Orlando and south Florida. We had $390,000 in revenue for 2004 and $1,138,000 in revenue for the first nine months of 2005 in Florida, a 192% increase in year-to-date 2005 over the full year 2004.

  • The Texas region, which opened in October 2004, currently operates out of one service center in Houston. We had $15,000 in revenue for 2004 and $394,000 in revenue for the first nine months of 2005 in Texas.

     We opened a service center in New Orleans in October 2005 in response to the demand for restoration services resulting from damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, many homes in the New Orleans suffered extensive water damage and mold contamination. Rather than demolish the homes entirely, restoration companies are removing all the sheetrock, wall board and other materials so that all that is left of the homes are the exterior walls and the wood frame. The restoration companies then hire companies like us to come in and remove the mold contamination.

     Revenues included under “other” include revenues for mold prevention services on large multi-family projects outside the four regions, from our Trust One termite control business and from other ancillary services that we may provide.

Customer Growth Focus

     We analyze our customer activity in categories of national builders and regional builders. An estimated 30% of the national home building market is controlled by the top 20 national builders, with the remaining 70% controlled by regional builders. Builder Online magazine recently ranked the Top 100 builders nationally. According to a recent ranking of the top 100 U.S. home builders published by Builder Online magazine, we have serviced projects with three of the top four national builders: D.R. Horton, Inc., Lennar Corporation and Centex Corporation. To date, we have developed a solid working relationship with Lennar where we have serviced projects in nine of their regional divisions in California and Florida. Lennar projects accounted for approximately 31% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We had several multi-family projects completed or in process in California for D.R. Horton. D.R. Horton projects accounted for 2% of our total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. Our work for Centex Corporation includes projects in California and Texas.

     Many builders are involved in single-family and/or multi-family construction. We monitor each type of project separately for operational efficiency and scheduling purposes. We also monitor our sales activities with national builders to look for opportunities to leverage our business across multiple regions. This provides our sales force with the ability to reference completed projects for a national builder in that builder’s other regional divisions. For example, we routinely reference projects serviced in California and Florida for Lennar when we are selling to new prospective Lennar divisions. We believe that it is important to have sales efforts with national builders targeted at the regional level as well as the corporate level. These accounts are strategic to our business, both in terms of their potential revenue size and of their leadership position in the residential construction industry.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following policies to be the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition.

  Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is based on contracts for agreed upon fees entered into with customers for the services to be completed and is recognized when the service is completed, the amount of the service and contract value is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The resulting accounts receivable are reported at their principal amounts adjusted for an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts, if appropriate.

  Product Warranties

     We provide a general warranty that extends for the entire “statute of repose,” the period during which, under the various state laws, builders have continuing liability for construction defects. In general, the period on continuing liability is between ten and fifteen years depending upon the state in which the service has been provided. The warranty covers both property damage and personal injury arising from mold contamination on any surface we treat. The personal injury portion of the warranty is supported by a $2 million pollution liability mold giveback provision under our general liability policy. We estimate our exposure to warranty claims based upon historical warranty claim costs. We review these estimates on a regular basis and adjust the warranty provisions as actual experience differs from historical estimates or other information becomes available. However, we do not have, at this time, sufficient

23


experience to determine if a reserve is required and/or if the coverage under the general liability policy is sufficient should claims be filed against us. To date, we have not been required to perform under the terms of our warranty provisions, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened claims.

   Stock-Based Compensation

     We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.” We measure employee compensation cost under the intrinsic method provided by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) under which compensation expense is recognized for the excess, if any, of the fair value of our common stock over the option price on the date the option is granted. We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes method of valuation, which takes into account such factors as the current price of the stock, the volatility of the stock price, the option’s exercise price, the expected life of the option, a risk-free interest rate and the stock’s expected dividend yield. No such compensation expense was recognized during the period from inception, January 13, 2003, through September 30, 2005. We recognize compensation expense related to grants of options/warrants to non-employees in accordance with the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” a revision of Statement 123 that supersedes APB 25. Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments. The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the service period, generally the vesting period. We are required to adopt Statement 123R beginning with the first quarter of 2006. We will utilize the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options, and we expect the impact of our adoption of Statement 123(R) to be similar to the information disclosed in note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. The future results will be impacted by the number and value of additional stock option grants as well as the value of the existing unvested options. The adoption of statement 123R will result in increased operating expenses beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

  Debt Discount

     Some of our financing transactions involved convertible debt or both debt and equity instruments. In those cases where the financing includes both debt and equity instruments, we are required to allocate the proceeds received in these transactions to the underlying debt and equity instruments based on their relative fair values. The amounts we allocate to the equity instrument are then amortized into interest expense over the expected life of the debt instrument. For debt instruments that are convertible into shares of our common stock, we are required to compute a beneficial conversion feature if the conversion rate is lower than the estimated fair value of the stock into which the debt is convertible. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature is amortized into interest expense over the expected life of the debt. We determined the fair value of common stock based on recent sales of stock to independent third parties in similar transactions.

  Revenue

     Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 381% compared to revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The revenue growth was primarily a result of increased business volume. During the first nine months of 2005, we added seven new service center locations. Serviced volume during the periods increased from approximately 3.7 million square feet in the 2004 period to 17.0 million square feet in the 2005 period. Pricing for services was generally the same in both periods. We anticipate that the future operations will experience a general increase in our pricing structure as the demand for our services increases.

     Revenue growth was achieved in all of our operating regions. In the 2005 period, California revenue accounted for $2.1 million, or approximately 52% of our revenue, and Florida accounted for $1.1 million, or approximately 28% of our revenue. California revenue increased by $1.3 million, of which approximately $600,000 was attributable to existing service centers (representing an 89% revenue increase in those locations) and $700,000 was attributable to new service centers established in Sacramento and Fresno. Revenue from all California service centers is expected to continue to grow in future periods due to continuing customer demand and public awareness of potential health issues related to mold. Florida revenue increased by $1.0 million, all as a result of increased demand in the areas served by our existing service centers. Texas revenue increased by $400,000 due to increased home builder demand. Of the remaining $600,000 increase in revenue, $300,000 was attributable to projects in regions where we do not have any service centers, $200,000 was attributable to Trust One and $100,000 constituted miscellaneous revenue. We expect to increase the number of our service centers as the demand for our services increases and as we determine that new centers are considered to be an economically feasible strategic move.

     In addition to regional tracking, we also track revenue by the type of customer. Currently, we view our customers as comprising three distinct categories - national builders, regional builders and multi-family project builders. Our revenue has increased across all three categories from the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Revenue for the national builder group totaled $1.4 million for the period, an increase of 366% from the same period in 2004. Revenue for the regional builder group totaled $1.4 million for the period, an increase of 742% from the same period in 2004. Revenue for the multi-family group totaled $1.2 million for the period, an increase of 211% from the same period in 2004.

  Cost of Revenue

     Cost of revenue includes the material, labor and other costs directly related to providing our services, including the depreciation expense relating to equipment used to provide our services. Recently, we have taken steps, some of which are discussed below, to reduce our cost of revenue and improve our gross margins.

     Our lack of capital has had a negative margin impact on our service operations in the areas of raw material cost, labor cost and labor productivity. For example, prior to June 2005, we could not afford our own workman’s compensation insurance policy and were therefore forced to hire workers from employee leasing firms or labor agencies, both of which are considerably more expensive than if we hired our workers directly. By the second quarter of 2005, our financial condition had improved to the point that we were approved for our own workman’s compensation policy through AIG, enabling us to hire our own workers directly, and, consequently, resulting in significant cost savings. As a result, we believe our gross margins will improve.

     Although cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 382% over cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, gross margins for both periods were virtually identical. Labor costs were $328,000 and $1,611,000 for the periods ending September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, reflecting an increase of 391%. Material costs were $87,000 and $823,000, respectively, reflecting an increase of 850%. Direct costs were $264,000 and $838,000, respectively, reflecting an increase of 217%. Direct labor cost as a percentage of revenue is consistent across both periods at 38% and 39%, respectively. As the largest component of our cost of service, direct labor cost is a primary focus area for our operations. Direct labor cost as a percentage of revenue decreased to below 30% in the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of savings from the workman’s compensation policy change described above. We are reviewing our operating process to determine if we can increase labor productivity. However, we do not, at this time, have sufficient experience to determine if productivity increases are possible.

     Raw material costs have increased as a percentage of revenue from 10% in the first nine months of 2004 to 18% for the comparable period in 2005. This increase is attributable to higher freight and shipping costs in 2005 as fuel prices and overall shipping costs have increased. Also, the lack of working capital has forced us to order raw materials in smaller lot sizes to conserve cash; the smaller lot sizes, however, limit our ability to receive vol-

25


ume discounts and also increase our shipping costs. The increase in the number of projects in Florida and Texas has also contributed to material cost increases as higher amounts of materials are used in these regions due to high levels of humidity. We expect that we will be able to order raw materials in more economic quantities, reducing our per unit cost as well as the related freight costs to ship them to our service centers.

     Other costs of revenue include costs associated with fuel, service vehicle rental, equipment rental, equipment depreciation, direct supplies and other costs directly associated with the services we provide. Other direct costs have decreased as a percentage of revenue from 31% in the first nine months of 2004 to 20% for the comparable period in 2005. Depreciation expense for the period ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 was $41,000 and $74,000, respectively, reflecting 4.8% and 1.8% of revenue for the respective periods. Due to cash constraints, we rented rather than purchased equipment, reducing our depreciation expense as a percentage of revenue. As our cash position improves, we intend to lease, on a capital basis, equipment, which would increase depreciation expense and reduce rental costs. Automobile insurance expense for the period ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 was $8,000 and $37,000, respectively, reflecting 1% of revenue for both periods. Workman’s compensation expense was $98,000 for the period ended September 30, 2005. Since we first obtained our own policy in June 2005 there was no comparable expense in the 2004 period. Other direct costs were $215,000 and $629,000 for the periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 25% and 15% of revenue. The increases were largely in the areas of vehicle rentals and fuel expenses, as we increased the number of vehicles and equipment to service the increased number of customer projects. By purchasing new equipment, we will be able to reduce our reliance on rentals, which should improve our gross margins.

  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses include corporate and regional overhead such as compensation and benefits for sales, administrative and executive personnel, rent, insurance, professional fees, non-cost of revenue related travel, marketing and office related expenses. Selling, general and administrative costs were $2,117,000 and $3,351,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 246% and 81% of revenue. Non-service employee payroll costs increased from $1,441,000 to $2,128,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 168% and 51% of revenue. The increases in payroll costs were directly related to the addition of a chief financial officer in 2004, accounting and marketing personnel, regional management and sales personnel in California and Texas and other administrative staff. Also, as provided in their employment agreements, the base salaries of our senior executives increased in 2005 because our revenue increased. We expect that the trend of adding selling, general and administrative personnel will continue as our revenue grows and once we become a public company. We intend to add both direct sales personnel and commission representatives as we expand into new regions and as the demand for our services increase. Marketing personnel are expected to increase as we develop more marketing plans and advertising campaigns for our services. General and administrative personnel will increase, primarily in the financial functions, to meet the needs of being a public company.

     General insurance costs increased form $139,000 to $292,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 16% and 7% of revenue. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is a result of spreading the costs of insurance, which increased 110% from 2004 to 2005, over a 381% increase in revenue. While we expect that our insurance costs will increase in absolute dollar terms, we anticipate that they will not increase proportionally to our revenue growth, lowering the percentage relationship to revenue. Facility rental costs were $80,000 and $145,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 9.3% and 3.5% of revenue. Facility rental costs increased 81% from 2004 to 2005, but decreased as a percent of revenue. Telecommunications increased from $32,000 to $88,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 3.7% to 2.1% of revenue. The increase in dollars spent was due to the addition of service centers in locations outside of Southern California. Travel costs increased from $73,000 to $142,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, or 8.5% and 3.4% of revenue. The 95% increase in dollars spent was due to the addition of service centers in locations outside of Southern California as well as having certain service crews traveling to job sites in areas in which service centers were not located.

     Approximately $105,000 of the cost increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, or 8.5%, is attributable to Trust One, which we acquired in February 2005. Marketing costs accounted for approximately $81,000, or 6.6%, of the increase and depreciation expense resulting from capital asset purchases resulting from the increase in staffing accounted for $19,000, or 1.5%, of the increase. Approximately $180,000 represents the value of warrants accrued in the year ended December 31, 2004 and issued in January 2005 to satisfy an interest obligation to one of our creditors.

26



     Once this offering is completed, we expect to experience a general increase in general and administrative expenses as a consequence of administrative and reporting requirements associated with being a public company. Specifically, we will have increases in professional services related to auditing expenses and legal costs, increases in various administrative costs due to record keeping and filing fees, and increases in insurance costs related to directors and officers liability and general liability insurance.

  Interest Expense

     Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $512,000, an increase of $468,000 over the same period in 2004. The increase is directly attributable to the increase in debt financings in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Of the amount incurred in 2005, $171,000 represented interest paid in cash or stock or accrued during the period, $25,000 represented amortization of debt discount on the Convertible Notes and $316,000 represented amortization of the beneficial conversion feature as the Convertible Notes have an effective conversion price below the deemed fair market value of our stock on the date of issuance.

  Provision for Taxes

      This amount, $800, represents California franchise taxes.

  Revenue

     Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 753% compared to revenue for the period ended December 31, 2003. Revenue growth was primarily driven by the shift in our focus in late 2003 from mold testing for consumers to mold prevention in the new construction industry. Revenue related to mold testing and prevention for consumers in 2003 totaled approximately $55,000 and those services were generally discontinued in late 2003 as we focused all of our resources on new construction mold prevention services.

     In 2004, California revenue accounted for $1.1 million, or approximately 74% of revenue, while Florida revenue accounted for $0.4 million or approximately 25% of revenue.

  Cost of Revenue

     Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $1.2 million, an increase of 435% compared to the cost of revenue for the period ended December 31, 2003. Labor costs were $94,000 and $585,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, reflecting an increase of 522%. Material costs were $46,000 and $182,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, reflecting an increase of 296%. Direct costs were $88,000 and $452,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, reflecting an increase of 414%. Depreciation expense for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 was $10,000 and $50,000, respectively, representing 5.5% and 3.2% of revenue for the respective periods. 2003 was the first year of operations and due to cash constraints, we rented rather than purchased equipment. Automobile insurance expense for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 was $3,000 and $85,000, respectively, reflecting approximately 1.6% and 5.5% of revenue for the respective periods.

     In 2004, we expanded our number of service crews and service centers and, as a result, we increased the number of vehicles that we used. Workman’s compensation expense was $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $43,000 for the period ended December 31, 2004. Other direct costs were $63,000 and $274,000 for the periods

27


ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 respectively, or 25% and 15% of revenue. While some of our costs, such as equipment rentals and other direct costs, experienced decreases due to economies of scale, other costs, such as the cost of fuel and increased reliance on rental vehicles and equipment to service an increasing number of job sites, were primary contributors to higher costs. We also experienced an increased cost of revenue as we added service centers in Florida and Texas in 2004. The additional costs associated with these new service centers included training cost for new field technicians, service center start-up costs and labor productivity inefficiencies. 

 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,137,000 for 2003 and $3,303,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, reflecting a 191% increase. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for 2003 and 2004 were 625% and 213%, respectively. The increase in absolute terms is primarily attributable to increased headcount and other expenses related to our expansion in California ($0.6 million), Florida ($0.3 million) and Texas ($0.1 million). Non-service employee payroll costs increased from $350,000 to $1,137,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or 192% and 73% of revenue. The increases in payroll costs were directly related to the addition of a chief financial officer in 2004, accounting and marketing personnel and other administrative staff. General insurance costs increased from $14,000 to $149,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or 8% and 9.6% of revenue. The increase as a percentage of revenue is a direct result of the increase in insurance costs to cover potential insurable risk and our service warranty. Facility rental costs were $39,000 and $117,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or 21.4% and 7.5% of revenues. Facility rental costs increased 200% from 2003 to 2004, but decreased as a percent of revenue.

     Telecommunication expenses increased from $15,000 to $52,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or 8.2% to 3.3% of revenue. The increase in dollars spent was due to the addition of service centers in locations outside of Southern California. Travel costs increased from $14,000 to $115,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, or 7.7% and 7.4% of revenue. The 700% increase in dollars spent was due to the addition of service centers in locations outside of Southern California as well as having service crews travel to job sites outside the region in which they were based. Legal costs increased from $175,000 in the period ended December 31, 2003 to $183,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The costs were incurred in relation to establishing the corporate entity and the various debt and equity financings. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we accrued a $150,000 executive bonus based on reaching specific revenue milestones. Also, the 2004 amount includes noncash compensation charges (common stock issuances) of approximately $656,000 for employees, directors and third party service providers. The comparable 2003 amount is $294,000.

  Interest Expense

     Net interest expense from the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $278,000, of which $120,000 constitutes interest paid in cash or in stock or accrued during the year; $30,000 represents amortization of debt discount and $128,000 represents the value of a warrant issued to the holder of an unsecured note in settlement of a dispute over the terms of that indebtedness.

  Other Loss

     In 2004, we reported a loss of $42,000 as a result of a non-insured theft of capital assets.

  Provision for Taxes

     The amount, $800, represents California franchise taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We have funded our business with internally generated funds, proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities, payment of obligations with common stock and negative working capital. From inception through September 30, 2005, we raised approximately $4.6 million from the issuance of debt securities and approximately $1.5 million from the sale of preferred equity securities. We have also issued common stock in settlement of $1.2 million of obligations — $256,000 of interest, $748,000 of salaries, $145,000 of director fees and $94,000 of professional services — to reduce the need to further issue debt and/or equity securities. In addition, as of September 30, 2005, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2.8 million. These funding strategies have enabled us to offset accumulated losses of $7.6 million.

     During the period from inception through December 31, 2004, we issued $625,000 worth of Series A Preferred Stock and $859,000 worth of Series B Preferred Stock. We also incurred $649,000 of short-term debt

28


and issued $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 10% convertible notes. Based on the effective conversion rate of the convertible notes, we estimated the beneficial conversion feature to be $754,386, which is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. Additionally, we issued $1,158,000 worth of common stock in payment of interest, salaries, director fees and professional services. During this period, we incurred accumulated losses of approximately $4.5 million and, at December 31, 2004, had negative working capital of $1.0 million. All of the proceeds generated during the period from the sale of our debt and equity securities were used to finance our operating losses. 

    The key components of our current assets are cash and accounts receivable and the key components of our current liabilities at December 31, 2004 are short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued payroll. The principal reasons for our working capital deficit at December 31, 2004 are as follows:

  • Accounts Receivable of $380,000. During the year ended December 31, 2004, revenue increased by $1,370,000. Most of this increase came in the last quarter of the year. Approximately 7% of the accounts receivable balance, or $26,086, was due to retentions held back from payment by major home builders until such time as the entire project was completed. Substantially all of the remaining 93% of receivables was collected in the first quarter of 2005.

  • Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $531,000. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses was consistent with increases in revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses. To accommodate the additional need for operating funds during the period, payments to vendors were extended beyond credit terms.

  • Accrued salary, wages and commissions of $240,000. During the period, we increased our work force to accommodate the increase in our business. Additionally, senior management elected to defer a portion of their wages to meet the needs of the working capital deficit. Commissions increased proportionally to the increase in sales and are payable 50% upon billing and 50% upon collection of the receivable.

  • Accrued bonuses of $150,000. Accrued bonuses are payable to the executive staff and the payment was deferred to accommodate the needs of the working capital deficit.

     Net cash used in operations during the period was approximately $1.8 million, which consisted of losses from operations of approximately $4.5 million offset by $2 million of non-cash expenses, such as the use of stock to pay interest, salaries and other obligations, plus depreciation charges of $64,000 and net changes in working capital.

     During the period, we purchased capital assets, consisting primarily of vehicles and office furniture and fixtures, of $294,000. Most of the capital assets were purchased for the operations of our mold treatment crews. Each crew utilizes approximately $50,000 of equipment. Due to our operating losses and cash position, leasing facilities were not available.

     During the period from January 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005, we issued an additional $950,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% convertible notes and $2,000,000 of unsecured notes. Based on the effective conversion rate of the convertible notes issued, we estimated the beneficial conversion feature to be $169,535, which is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. Simultaneously with the issuance of a $500,000 principal amount convertible note in April 2005, we also issued warrants to purchase 170,745 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.86 per share at any time up to April 15, 2008. We recorded $147,368 at debt discount in connection with the issuance of this warrant. Also, during the period, we issued $22,500 worth of common stock in payment of interest. During the period, we had a net loss of $3.0 million and our working capital deficit was approximately $2.8 million. All of the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities during the period were used to finance our operating losses other than the ending cash balance as of September 30, 2005, which was approximately $600,000.

     The key components of our current assets are cash and accounts receivable and the key components of our current liabilities at September 30, 2005 are short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued payroll. The principal reasons for the working capital deficit at September 30, 2005 are as follows:

  • Accounts Receivable of $1,158,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenue increased by approximately $2.6 million over the year ended December 31, 2004 and receivables increased by approximately $778,000. Approximately 6% of the accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2005, or $68,167, was due to retentions held back from payment by the major home builders until such time as the entire project was completed. Substantially all of the remaining 94% of receivables was collected in the fourth quarter of 2005, and we do not expect any difficulties in collecting the balance.

  • Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,158,000. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses was consistent with the increase in revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses. To accommodate the additional need for operating funds during the period, payments to vendors were extended beyond credit terms. On occasion, we experienced periods in which we were placed on credit hold until payments were released. While we believe that those instances may have affected our revenue growth, we have not quantified that consequence.


  • Accrued salary, wages and commissions of $587,000. During the period, we increased our work force to accommodate the increase in our business. Additionally, senior management elected to defer a portion of their wages to meet the needs of the working capital deficit. Commissions increased proportionally to the increase in sales and are payable 50% upon billing and 50% upon collection of the receivable.

  • Accrued bonuses of $348,000. Accrued bonuses of $348,000 are payable to the executive staff and the payment has been deferred to accommodate the needs of the working capital deficit. These bonuses are ultimately to be paid 70% in common stock and 30% in cash over a six month period beginning 30 days after the completion of this offering.

  • Accrued interest of $321,000. Accrued interest of $321,000 has been deferred until the completion of this offering, after which all outstanding debt and accrued interest will be repaid.

  • Deferred offering costs of $479,000. Deferred offering costs of $479,000 associated with this offering, will be paid when this offering is completed and will be offset against the gross proceeds.

     Net cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $2.0 million, which consisted of losses from operations of approximately $3.0 million offset by $350,000 of non-cash expenses noted above plus depreciation charges of $107,000 and net changes in working capital.

     At the present time we are not aware of any trends, other than those discussed elsewhere in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this prospectus.

     We believe that the net proceeds from this offering together with cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months. However, if we experience a significant deterioration in our receivable collections, or if we are not successful in growing our revenue and improving operating margins, we may need to seek additional sources of liquidity to fund operations. Our future depends upon many factors, including but not limited to, increasing our revenue, improving operating margins, recruiting, hiring, training and retaining significant numbers of qualified personnel, forecasting revenues, controlling expenses and managing assets. Our ability to achieve these objectives could have a positive affect on our results of operations. If we need additional funds, there are no assurances that adequate financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We may in the future seek additional financing from public or private debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance such financing will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. To the extent any such financing involves the issuance of equity securities, such issuances may be at or below existing market prices and existing shareholders could suffer dilution and losses in the value of their investment.

Commitment and Contingencies

     We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay all of our outstanding indebtedness. We do not currently have any equipment leasing programs or bank facilities although once our financial position stabilizes we plan to investigate whether we would qualify for any of those types of financing opportunities.

     We have obligations under real property leases for our executive offices in San Juan Capistrano, California and our various service centers in California, Texas, Florida and Louisiana. The rent for executive offices is $2,500 per month and the lease expires in August 2006. The commercial real estate rental market in Orange County, California is tight. According to the January 30, 2006 edition of the Orange County Business Journal, vacancy rates in the county are approximately 6.2% and rents for commercial space average from $1.83 to $2.28 per square foot per month, depending on location. Since we will be required to post a significant security deposit when we sign a new lease, we have decided to wait until this offering is completed before we start looking for new space in order to conserve cash. Our service center leases expire at various times between now and September 2008, and our gross monthly rental for these locations is currently $16,500. We do not anticipate that we would have difficulty renewing expiring leases or finding new locations, if necessary.

     We have employment agreements with our two senior executive officers, which expire in 2009. Based on our current revenue, for 2006 our chief executive officer has a base salary of $220,000 and our chief operating/chief financial officer has a base salary of $150,000. In addition, in November 2005, we entered into a Severance and General Release Agreement with our former president, under which we have a total commitment of $442,000, a portion of which will be paid out of the proceeds of this offering and the balance of which will be paid out of operating cash flow.

     We provide a general warranty that extends for the entire “statute of repose,” the period during which, under various state laws, builders have continuing liability for construction defects. In general, this period is between ten and fifteen years depending upon the state in which the service has been provided. The warranty covers both property damage and personal injury arising from mold contamination on any surface we treat. The personal injury portion is supported by a $2 million pollution liability mold giveback provision under our general liability policy. To date we have not been required to perform under the terms of our warranty provisions, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened claims. However, should we be confronted with claims that result in damages in excess of our insurance coverage, we may be liable for substantial funds that could significantly reduce our working capital.

     Our employees are covered under a workman’s compensation insurance policy issued by AIG that expires August 15, 2006. Since we first obtained this policy in August 2005, we have not been able to develop a claims history indicating that we are under insured or that we will be liable for back premiums due to existing claims.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

     We have not been in business long enough to have gone through multiple business cycles to assess what impact they would have on our business. We do know, however, that, in general, the construction industry slows down considerably after Thanksgiving and does not pick up again until after early in the new year. We believe this fact will have an adverse impact on our fourth quarter operating results. In addition, as is typical in the construction industry, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by weather conditions; this is true in our current southern locations, and we expect it to be more of a factor as we expand into cold-weather regions.

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) determined that the effective date for adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment would be the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission changed the effective date to the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires us to measure compensation cost for all outstanding unvested share-based awards at fair value beginning on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123 defines the fair value method of accounting for issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies had been encouraged, but were not required to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock based transactions. Companies were also permitted to continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, but were required to disclose in a note to the financial statements the pro forma effect as if the Company had applied SFAS No. 123. We apply APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock-based transactions with employees and comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and No. 148.

     We will begin accounting for share-based payments in accordance with SFAS No. 123R effective with the beginning of our 2006 calendar year. As of the required effective date, all public entities and those nonpublic entities that used the fair-value-based method for either recognition or disclosure under Statement 123 will apply this Statement using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under Statement 123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by Statement 123. Nonpublic entities that used the minimum value method in Statement 123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosures are required to apply the prospective transition method as of the required effective date. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R and the corresponding recognition of compensation cost is expected to have a material impact on our financial statements, and we expect the impact to be similar to the information disclosed in note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. We may consider implementing modifications to our long-term compensation plans, including adopting alternative compensation arrangements. We are not presently aware of any other significant issues that might result from adoption of the standard.

BUSINESS

     We provide mold prevention services to home builders in the United States. We believe that the low cost of prevention compared to the high costs of litigation and remediation provides a compelling sales proposition. In addition, we believe that single and multi-family residential new construction represents the greatest market growth opportunity within this industry and that is where we currently are focusing our efforts. However, other markets, including commercial and industrial, not-for-profit (such as hospitals and schools) and government buildings, present future business expansion opportunities.

Industry Background

     Over the past few years, mold contamination in buildings has emerged as a serious problem both as a health issue and as an economic issue. Fungi commonly found in buildings with water intrusion problems include Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Trichoderma. Several mold species can produce a wide variety of mycotoxins that can enter the body via inhalation or contact with the skin. Even in low concentrations, mycotox-ins can cause adverse health effects, including skin irritation, respiratory disease, cancer and immune disorders. Mycotoxins elicit a toxic response in virtually all individuals who come in contact with them. Stachybotrys, a well-known mycotoxin-producing mold, has received much publicity from the media, especially regarding high-profile closings of public and private buildings, schools, courthouses and hospitals. Inhaling of mold spores may lead to or exacerbate allergic reactions or cause toxic effects or infections. Allergic reactions include asthma, Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) and allergic rhinitis. Skin contact with mold spores may cause dermatitis, noted by visible red itchy patches of skin. The most common symptoms associated with allergic reactions are runny nose, eye irritations, cough, congestion and aggravation of asthma. A wide variety of symptoms has been attributed to the toxic effects of mold. Symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, headaches, respiratory distress and eye irritation have been reported.

     The media has helped increase public awareness of the health risks posed by mold contamination. Many of the reports place the blame for mold contamination on builders, owners, building managers, designers, engineers, architects, or insurance companies and may be a contributing factor to the increase in single-party and class action lawsuits. Insurers have seen mold-related claims rise dramatically over the last several years. These claims have been driven in part by significant jury verdicts in cases like Ballard v. Farmers ($32 million verdict reduced to $4 million on appeal) and Anderson v. Allstate ($18 million verdict reduced to $2.4 million), involving mold damage to the insured’s homes, where the insurance companies were alleged to have breached their duty of good faith and fair dealing and were held liable for not properly responding to the insured’s claims for coverage. Insurance companies are countering by challenging mold coverage under existing policies and attempting to revise new policies to ensure mold coverage is not available. As this mold coverage litigation matures and the new exemptions from coverage are implemented, those who claim injury from mold will be forced to target other parties, like builders, owners, designers, engineers, architects and product manufacturers. In a recent California case, a couple who claimed their son suffered brain damage from toxic mold in their home reached a $22.6 million settlement with the lumberyard that supplied the wood and 16 other defendants.

     Mold prevention is a new service within the general construction industry. As a result, there is a shortage of data in terms of how much money is actually being spent on mold prevention services, but we do know that awareness of the problems caused by mold is increasing and the mold prevention industry is emerging. We measure the size of the industry in terms of potential business. For example, in Southern California new residential construction for 2005 is predicted to be 177.1 million square feet. Based on our average service pricing, the total potential market for mold prevention services in the Southern California region is approximately $62.0 million annually. We have treated approximately 3.4 million square feet in Southern California to date in 2005, or approximately 1.9% of the total market. Applying this analysis to all the markets that we serve, we have treated approximately 16.9 million square feet to date in 2005, representing approximately 3.3% of those markets. Based on our knowledge of the market and the industry and our relationship with home builders across the country, we believe that we are one of the largest mold prevention service companies in the United States.

     We believe the mold prevention service industry will grow for the following reasons:

  • Mold contamination in residential real estate construction is unavoidable. Wood and wood byproducts are still, by far, the primary material used in residential real estate construction. Because the wood is exposed to the elements before and during the construction process, most buildings are contaminated even before the structure is sealed. Even after construction is completed, leaks, lack of proper ventilation, lack of light and other construction defects, even if they do not compromise the integrity of the structure, create an optimum environment for mold to grow.

32


  • Insurance against mold contamination is extremely expensive. The increase in the number of mold-related insurance claims has prompted many insurance companies to carve mold coverage out of general liability policies. Insurers who underwrite pollution legal liability policies do offer mold coverage as part of environmental insurance policies. However, this type of policy enhancement is expensive, involves high deductibles and is limited in scope. According to the Environmental Risk Resources Association, the cost of adding mold coverage to a pollution legal liability policy is typically 7% to 10% of the amount of coverage purchased, with a 10% to 15% deductible. So, for example, a $1 million liability policy would have an additional annual premium of $70,000 to $100,000 and a deductible ranging from $100,000 to $150,000 if mold coverage were added to the policy. Of course, insurance coverage is not a guarantee against being sued and may only provide limited coverage for the economic loss.
  • The cost of remediation is extremely high. We believe that the cost of remediation could be as high as $50 per square foot.
  • The economic impact of mold contamination is broad. Lenders are increasingly concerned over mold contamination as it affects the value of their collateral and, as a result, are requiring builders and developers to implement various prevention and management policies and practices that will minimize the risk. For example, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently instituted a policy requiring buildings to be certified as “mold free” as a condition for financing.
  • Public awareness of the health risks related to mold is growing. There is a growing recognition of the total economic cost of indoor pollutants in general and mold in particular. In 2005, the California Air Resources Board estimated the annual cost to California’s economy attributable to mold hazards, due to premature deaths, medical costs, lost worker productivity and related impacts, was $220 million.

Our Business

     Our business is removing existing mold spores from wood and other building materials used in residential construction and preventing future mold growth on these materials by coating them with an antimicrobial solution. Mold growth requires mold spores, a food source (e.g. wood) and moisture. Mold is ubiquitous and present in every residential home. As a result, builders, engineers and architects have dedicated their mold prevention efforts to developing sealed structures to prevent water or moisture from seeping into areas where mold spores already exist. However, that approach does not work due to one or more of the following factors: design defects, engineering defects and living habits. From an engineering standpoint, it is impossible to design a building that is 100% waterproof. First, all structures are exposed to climatic elements including rain, sleet, snow and humidity. Second, all residential homes have water pipes that run behind walls that can leak or even rupture. Moisture is also created when warm air passes over pipes carrying cold water, resulting in condensation. Third, because of the trend towards energy conservation that began in the 1970’s, moisture that gets trapped behind walls typically has little or no opportunity to evaporate. Finally, it is difficult to regulate the living habits of the occupants.

     We take an entirely different approach to the problem. We have developed an environmentally-friendly three-step process that removes all visible mold growth from exposed building surfaces and applies an anti-microbial coating that prevents future mold growth. First, we use a soda blasting technique to remove all traces of mold contamination on all exposed building surfaces, whether wood, metal or concrete. Second, we clean the entire area to remove all residue of the soda, contaminants and debris. Finally, we apply our antimicrobial agent to all exposed surface areas contracted by the builder.

     We use two products in our process: baking soda for mold removal and an antimicrobial agent for mold growth prevention. Currently, we use an antimicrobial product manufactured in the United States exclusively for our use, which is a silicone-based product that is odorless and colorless. When applied, it bonds to the surface to prevent mold growth. A surface treated with this antimicrobial agent acts like a “bed of nails” to microbes, rupturing microbial membranes on contact. The chemistry underlying the antimicrobial agent we use, which has been in existence for over 30 years, is non-toxic, environmentally safe and provides long-term efficacy against microbial growth. It has been certified by BuildingGreen, Inc. as a “green” product.1

We believe that our success depends on our ability to provide customers with “best of breed” technology for mold prevention. Under our agreement with the manufacturer of the antimicrobial agent we are currently using, the manufacturer cannot sell the product, under any name, to anyone else as long as we satisfy minimum use requirements. On the other hand, we are not precluded from using other antimicrobial agents or purchasing comparable products from another source.

     To date, our focus has been on the residential segment of the construction industry. This segment includes multi-family construction, single family construction and custom built homes. We have targeted this segment initially because of its size and growth, the high frequency of mold contamination in these structures and the high profile in the media of mold contamination in residential housing. We have provided our services to over 350 national and regional single- and multi-family home builders, including Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc., Centex Corporation, Issa Homes, Inc., The McCaffrey Group, Lenox Homes, Global Construction Company, L.L.C., Hanover R.S. Limited Partnership, Bosa Development and Opus West Construction, Inc. The reaction among our clients has been positive, and we continue to generate repeat business from these builders. We currently operate 11 service centers in four regions — California, Florida, Texas and Louisiana — with plans to expand into strategically selected additional markets throughout the United States. We are not aware of any other company that has a plan, like we do, for a national roll-out of service centers to provide mold prevention services to the construction industry.

     Our fees vary from region to region and from project to project. The factors that we use to determine the prices we charge for our services include some or all of the following: (i) the size of the project; (ii) the region; (iii) proximity to a service center; (iv) the type of construction (e.g. single or multi-family); (v) the areas of the structure to be treated; (vi) the construction materials that are being treated; and (vii) the customer.

Our Strategy

     Our primary objective is to dominate the newly emerging mold prevention services industry. The key elements of our strategy include the following:

  • Maximize first mover advantage. We plan to aggressively pursue direct sales in the regions we currently serve by targeting additional national and regional builders in those areas.

  • Enhance our existing strategic relationships and develop new ones. Our strategy is to market our services directly to builders. We have established relationships with a number of major national and regional home builders in the United States, designating us a “preferred provider” of mold prevention services. These relationships are significant because we believe they create a barrier to entry, and we can leverage off these relationships when we establish new service centers.

  • Expand into new regions and markets. We have identified potential new regions for expansion based on factors such as the number of housing starts and the prevalence of mold. We will also expand into new markets in response to demand from existing customers. Finally, we will react quickly to new opportunities arising as a result of unforeseen events. For example, in October 2005, in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, we expanded into New Orleans.

  • Build brand identity. We will continue to build the brand identity of “Mold Guard” through a comprehensive aggressive sales and marketing campaign.

  • Create industry demand. We plan to educate lenders, builders, contractors, insurance companies, engineers, architects and the general public on the health risks and the legal ramifications associated with mold exposure, as well as on the value of our services.

  • Expand our service offerings. As a result of our acquisition of Trust One in February 2005, we are a licensed pesticide operator in California. We also are licensed in the states of Texas and Louisiana. Through Trust One, we offer termite control services in California. We intend to offer additional environmental-related services such as concrete sealing and interior surface treatment.

  • Expand into new market segments. Other market segments of the construction industry include the not-for-profit, such as schools and hospitals, governmental, such as courthouses, prisons and military bases, hospitality and commercial markets.

Sales and Marketing

     Historically, our marketing efforts have targeted builders, primarily because they make the decision whether or not to use our services. We usually contact builders directly, either by calling them or by sending them written marketing materials. We intend to expand our marketing activities by targeting other decision influencers such as lenders, insurance companies, architects and engineers. Although mold prevention is generally not required by insurance companies, lenders or even legislatures, we believe that as the economic cost of mold contamination becomes more apparent, the decision making process will be taken out of the hands of the builders. HUD, the largest home lender in the country, now requires a certificate that the property is mold-free before it will lend against the property.

     Regional builders are an important segment for us as they comprise the majority of the market. We utilize a direct sales force in each region to call on regional builder contacts. Contacts are identified and approached through referral selling, direct mail and direct phone contact from our sales force. We utilize both internal and external sales representatives in our direct sales teams. Direct sales efforts are directly supervised by the regional general managers in California, Florida, Texas and Louisiana.

     Another marketing strategy is to enter into exclusive marketing agreements with local persons or firms under which they would develop marketing programs for specific markets, and we would pay them a fee based on the effectiveness of their marketing program. In December 2005, we entered into a “Joint Marketing Cooperative Endeavor Agreement” with an entity called Gulf Coast Mold Guard, LLC. Under this agreement, Gulf Coast Mold Guard agreed to provide us with $300,000 of capital to purchase and/or lease equipment and personnel so that we can provide mold prevention and restoration services in the coastal regions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, referred to as the Gulf Coast region, and, at its own cost and expense, to develop a marketing campaign for us in that region. Under the agreement, the minimum annual advertising expenditures for Gulf Coast Mold Guard are $180,000, provided that our gross receipts from the Gulf Coast region are at least $100,000 per month for the first year of the agreement and $150,000 per month after the first year. In exchange, we agreed to pay them a portion of all our revenue derived from providing our services in that region.

     Our sales and marketing staff includes our vice president of sales and three regional sales directors. With the proceeds of this offering, we intend to hire additional sales personnel at both the corporate and the regional levels. Our goal is to expand our existing relationships with builders and to develop new relationships with other national and regional builders and other trades and professions servicing the construction industry. We will continue to use our current strategies, which include direct selling and mailing, telemarketing and joint marketing arrangements like the one we have with Gulf Coast Mold Guard. In addition, we will participate in trade shows and conventions and develop a national public relations campaign that will be designed to increase the awareness of mold contamination and its adverse effects and promote our solution.

Competition

     The market for mold prevention services is relatively new. There is currently no dominant market leader in the mold prevention services industry, and, we believe, significant business opportunities exist. We believe we are in a first-to-market leadership position, and we plan to use this advantage to promote prevention compared with costly mold remediation and restoration. As the market for mold prevention services expands, we expect that competition will increase.

     Our principal competitors include companies currently manufacturing antimicrobial surface coatings that depend on third party applicators for distribution and sales. These types of companies include Fosters Inc., Envirocare and Nisus Corporation, all of which are chemical manufacturers. Other potential competitors include pest control companies and other construction industry trades. We believe that we have a strategic advantage over these competitors because (a) of our low cost structure and efficient operations; (b) of our ability to service customers out of our company-owned and operated service centers (as opposed to third party applicators) and (c) we are not tied to a specific mold prevention technology, enabling us to always provide the “best of breed” services to our customers.

     We believe that builders will opt to use our services for the following reasons:

  • Our services are performed by our specially-trained work crews. Most of our competitors tend to be chemical companies who are trying to sell one of their products. These companies usually hire third party applicators, which are likely to use unskilled labor for the task.

35


  • We offer a comprehensive service that includes removing existing mold from the wood structure, applying an antimicrobial solution to the structure and site cleanup. The chemical companies who are our chief competitors only offer the antimicrobial application.

  • We believe that our antimicrobial agent is more effective than any other antimicrobial product available on the market. First, ours is a silicone-based product that adheres to the surface to which it is applied. It does not wear off and cannot be removed except with caustic agents or by friction. Second, it results in a “physical” kill as opposed to a “chemical” kill, which means the microbes cannot develop immunity against the antimicrobial agent like bacteria can develop immunity against an antibiotic.

  • We offer our customers a warranty that extends for the entire period of the “statute of repose” — i.e., the period during which builders have continuing liability under state law for defects in the structure. In California and Texas, the statute of repose is 10 years; in Florida it is 15 years; and in Louisiana it is five years. Under our warranty, we will remediate, at our own expense, any mold contamination that develops on any surface that we treated. The warranty also covers personal injuries from mold contamination. This portion of the warranty is backed by our General Liability Policy with Evanston Insurance, rated A by A.M. Best, which has a pollution liability mold give back provision. This provision covers property damage and personal injury resulting from mold contamination on any surface we treated. The policy limits are $2 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate.
Intellectual Property

     At the present time, we do not own any patents, trademarks or copyrights that are material to our business. We do believe that our methodology is proprietary but we have no means of protecting it other than through non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. While we try to have all our executive and management level employees sign such agreements, we are not always successful and none of our hourly employees have signed such agreements. Even in those cases where we are successful in obtaining non-compete and non-disclosure agreements, it may be difficult, if not impossible, for us to enforce our rights. We have the exclusive rights to the antimicrobial agent that we use, and we believe it is the most effective antimicrobial agent available today. However, even in that case, we do not own the patents on that agent, and even if we did, the patents have expired. As a result, there are virtually no barriers to entry in the mold prevention services industry, and we are susceptible to competition from any number of sources including chemical companies, pest control companies and other trades that provide services to the construction industry.

Government Regulation

     A number of states have enacted or are considering the adoption of legislation providing for the convening of task forces, usually comprised of health officers, health and medical experts, mold abatement experts, affected consumers and representatives of affected industries to conduct feasibility studies concerning permissible exposure limits to mold in indoor environments and to advise and, if appropriate, develop objective standards for the assessment and remediation of indoor mold.

     In addition, some states, including Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin, have enacted laws requiring the registration, licensure or certification of mold remediation and abatement contractors. These laws generally provide for the appropriate state regulatory authority to establish training and eligibility requirements and application procedures for the registration, certification or licensure of applicants, provide guidelines for disciplinary action and penalties for violations of these guidelines, including modification, suspension or revocation of a registration, certification or license. In other instances, particularly California and Louisiana, the states require a pest control operator’s license or a contractor’s license for mold prevention service companies. We believe we have all the necessary qualifications, licenses, permits and certificates required by the states in which we are operating.

     At the federal level, Representative John Conyers of Michigan has introduced a bill entitled “The United States Toxic Mold Safety and Protection Act.” This bill, if enacted into law, would direct the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), respectively, to establish guidelines that identify conditions that facilitate indoor mold growth and measures that can be implemented to prevent such growth. The guidelines would also address mold inspection, testing and remediation. The bill also requests EPA and HUD to establish guidelines for certifying mold inspectors and remediators.

Employees

     As of February 1, 2006, we had 121 employees of which 31 were full-time and 90 were part-time. We have 8 employees based in our executive offices. Our employees are not covered by a labor union. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

36

     In the event we terminate Mr. Blakeley’s employment for any reason other than death, disability or “justifiable cause” (defined to include any willful breach by Mr. Blakeley of his duties under the agreement or his conviction of any crime involving our property or any crime constituting a felony), Mr. Blakeley would be entitled to a severance payment equal to 24 months of his current monthly base salary plus target bonus as in effect on the last day of his employment and reimbursement for the cost of maintaining his medical and dental insurance for 24 months. In the event of a termination in connection with a “change in control” or by Mr. Blakeley for “good reason” (defined to include a relocation more than 30 miles from Irvine, California and a material reduction of Mr. Blakeley’s base salary, duties or authority), he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his unpaid, annualized base salary for the remainder of the year in which the termination occurs and a lump sum payment equal to three times the highest annual compensation (salary plus bonus) for any of the three calendar years immediately preceding the date of termination.

In July 2005, the Board awarded a bonus to Mr. Davidson equal to 3% of our gross revenue for the year.

Severance Agreement

     On November 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Brad Barnes, regarding the termination of his employment. The principal terms of that agreement are as follows:

  • Mr. Barnes resigned as our president effective November 30, 2005.

  • We will pay Mr. Barnes $244,481 on account of accrued but unpaid salary in semi-monthly installments of $7,500 beginning in December 2005 until this offering is completed. Once this offering is completed, we will make a lump sum payment equal to the lesser of (x) the balance due and (y) $119,078. If any amount remains unpaid after the lump sum payment, it will be paid to Mr. Barnes in 12 consecutive equal monthly installments.

  • We will pay Mr. Barnes $440,000 as severance pay in 12 consecutive monthly installments of $36,667, commencing 30 days after this offering is completed.

  • If this offering is not completed by April 1, 2006, then on that date we are to begin making monthly payments to Mr. Barnes of $25,000 on account of both accrued salary and severance pay commencing on that date until the total of Mr. Barnes’ accrued salary and severance payment has been paid in full. If this offering is completed before the entire amount of accrued and unpaid salary and severance pay is paid in full, the monthly payments will increase so that the balance will be paid no later than the earlier of 12 months after the IPO date.

  • We will pay Mr. Barnes a commission equal to 20% of the purchase price for our 50% interest in Zero Plus.

  • On April 1, 2006, we will reimburse Mr. Barnes for all accrued and unreimbursed business expenses incurred by him prior to that date and for up to $5,000 for the legal fees and expenses incurred by him in connection with the preparation of the severance agreement

  • Mr. Barnes will continue to participate in all of our benefit plans and programs until November 30, 2007.

  • All of his unvested stock options will immediately vest and become exercisable on November 30, 2005.

  • Any payment under the agreement that is not timely paid will bear interest at a rate equal to the lower of (i) the prime rate in effect from time to time as published in The Wall Street Journal and (ii) the highest rate of interest allowed by law.

Equity and Incentive Compensation Plans

     In July 2004, we adopted the American Mold Guard, Inc. Annual Reward Plan for the purpose of rewarding senior management for improving our financial results. In July 2005, the Board decided to delay the implementation of the plan to 2006. The plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Participants in the plan include all officers and other key employees as determined by the chief executive officer in accordance with the plan. Under the terms of the plan, on the last day of each year, we are supposed

42


to contribute a sum equal to 20% of our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to a bonus pool that is then allocated to the participants as determined by the Compensation Committee.

     In April 2003, our shareholders approved and ratified an American Mold Guard, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, the purpose of which is to attract and retain the personnel necessary for our success. The Equity Incentive Plan gives our board of directors the ability to provide incentives through grants of shares of our common, stock options, restricted stock awards and stock to our full-time key employees, consultants and directors (other than directors that are not compensated for their time by us or receive only a director’s fee).

     A total of 424,707 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the plan. If an award expires or terminates unexercised or is forfeited to us, or shares covered by an award are used to fully or partially pay the exercise price of an option granted under plan and any shares retained by the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an option exercise or the vesting of another award, become available for further awards under the plan.

     Until now this plan has been administered by the board of directors. After this offering is completed, the plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. Except as may otherwise be provided in the plan, the Compensation Committee will have complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards.

     The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the granting of options, including options that satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Compensation Committee will determine the period of time during which a stock option may be exercised, as well as any vesting schedule, except that no stock option may be exercised more than 10 years after its date of grant. The exercise price for shares of our common stock covered by an Incentive Stock Option cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant; provided that that exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an eligible employee that owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our capital stock must be at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option exercisable for the first time by an optionholder may not exceed $100,000 in any calendar year.

     The plan also authorizes the grant of restricted stock awards on terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. The terms and conditions will include the designation of a restriction period during which the shares are not transferable and are subject to forfeiture.

     In connection with the grant of an option under the Equity Incentive Plan, the applicable stock option agreement may grant stock appreciation equal rights (SARs) entitling the participant to receive a distribution equal to some or all of the excess of the fair market value of shares covered by the unexercised portion of the corresponding stock option over the exercise price of such shares. Such distributions are payable in cash or shares of common stock, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Compensation Committee. No SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, other than (i) in connection with the contemporaneous surrender without exercise of the corresponding stock option; or (ii) except to the extent the corresponding option is exercisable on the date the SAR is exercised; or (iii) unless the class of stock subject to the option is traded on a national securities exchange or is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

     Our board may terminate the plan without shareholder approval or ratification at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the plan will terminate on December 31, 2013. Our board may also amend the Plan, provided that no amendment will be effective without approval of our shareholders if shareholder approval is required to satisfy any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

Limitation of Directors’ Liability and Indemnification

     As permitted by the General Corporation Law of California (the “GCLC”), our Articles of Incorporation eliminate, to the fullest extent permitted under the GCLC, the personal liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by or in the right of the company for breach of a director’s duties to us and our shareholders. Under the GCLC, liability is not eliminated for (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) acts or omissions that a director believed to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; (iii) any transaction form which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern

43


of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders; (vi) contracts or other transactions between corporations and directors having interrelated director in violation of Section 310 of the GCLC; and (vii) distributions, loans or guarantees made in violation of Section 316 of the GCLC. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted under the GCLC, of our directors, officers and agents and persons who serve at our request as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

     In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, as permitted under the bylaws. The indemnification agreements will provide that the directors and executive officers will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts reasonably paid or incurred by them for settlement in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including any derivative action, on account of their services as a director or executive officer of us or any of our subsidiaries or of any other company or enterprise in which they are serving at our request. No indemnification will be provided under the indemnification agreements, however, to any director or executive officer in certain limited circumstances, including on account of knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct. To the extent the provisions of the indemnification agreements exceed the indemnification permitted by applicable law, those provisions may be unenforceable or may be limited to the extent they are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to public policy. In addition, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy and, therefore, unenforceable. Therefore, these indemnification provisions may not limit the liability of directors and executive officers under that statute.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     In 2004, we borrowed an aggregate of $90,000 on an unsecured basis from Brad Barnes, our former President and currently a director. The interest rate on this loan was 3% per month. The entire loan, including interest was repaid in March 2005.

     In November 2003, we borrowed $75,000 on an unsecured basis from Bob Barnes, the father of Brad Barnes. The loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum. At September 30, 2005, the balance due on this loan, including accrued interest, was $85,487. In connection with this loan, we also agreed to issue to Mr. Barnes warrants to purchase 83,116 shares of common stock at a price of $3.68 per share. The loan to Mr. Barnes will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering.

     In April 2004, we borrowed $170,000, secured by accounts receivable, from KPC LLC and $25,000, on an unsecured basis from Peter Wilson, a principal of KPC. The interest rate on the KPC loan is 3% per month and the interest on the Wilson loan is 7% per annum. At the time of this offering KPC owned approximately 10% of our stock. At September 30, 2005, the total amount owed to KPC and Mr. Wilson, including accrued interest, was $204,408 and $27,359, respectively. These loans will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering.

     In September 2004, we borrowed $100,000 from Seagrove LLC on an unsecured basis. The loan bears interest at 12% per annum. At the time of this offering, Seagrove owned in excess of 7% of our stock. At September 30, 2005, the balance due on this loan, including accrued interest, was $118,880.

     In September 2005, we borrowed $100,000 on an unsecured basis from an existing investor. In order to induce the investor to make this loan, in January 2006 Tom Blakeley, our chief executive officer, personally guaranteed repayment of the note and agreed to transfer to the investor out of his personal holdings, a number of shares of common stock equal to the greater of (i) 10,000 or (ii) 150% of the principal amount borrowed by us divided by 50% of the initial public offering price of the units.

     In November 2005 we borrowed $200,000 from an investor on an unsecured basis. In order to induce the investor to make this loan, Mr. Blakeley agreed to transfer 20,000 shares of our common stock out of his personal holdings to this investor.

     In November 2005, we entered into a termination and severance agreement with Brad Barnes, which is more fully described in “Management — Severance Agreement.”

     In January and February 2006, we borrowed an aggregate of $150,000 on a demand basis from an existing investor, which is an institutional accredited investor. In order to induce the investor to make these loans, Mr. Blakeley agreed to transfer to the investor 5,000 shares of our common stock out of his personal holdings to this investor and Brad Barnes, one our founders and a director, agreed to transfer to the investor 25,000 shares of our common stock out of his personal holdings.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, no par value. After this offering, we will have 3,740,295 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 4,070,295 shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. At the time this offering is effective, we will have 1,540,295 shares of common stock outstanding held of record by approximately 40 shareholders after taking into account (i) the conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into 324,307 shares of our common stock, (ii) the 230,770 shares of common stock included in the units that we will issue to the holders of the Unsecured Notes (iii) 74,146 shares that we issued in December 2005, (iv) 1,359 shares of common stock that we will issue in February 2006 as an interest payment; and (v) 66,222 shares of common stock that we have agreed to issue on the date of this prospectus. The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and to the provisions of California law.

Units

     Each unit consists of two shares of common stock, two Class A warrants and one Class B warrant. Each Class A and Class B warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock. Initially, only the units will trade. The common stock and the warrants included in the units will not trade separately until the 30th calendar day following the date of this prospectus or the first trading day thereafter if the 30th day is a weekend or holiday. Once separate trading in the common stock and warrants commences, the units will cease trading and they will be delisted.

     At closing, we will deliver only unit certificates. An investor may request physical delivery of the certificate and may immediately request that the unit certificate be exchanged for stock and unit warrant certificates. If the investor does so before the stock and unit warrants trade separately, trades based on the stock and unit warrant certificates will not clear until trading in those securities commences.

Common Stock

     Subject to the preference in dividend rights of any series of preferred stock that we may issue in the future, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of legally available assets when and to the extent determined by our board of directors from time to time. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share held by him on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders and, upon giving notice as required by law, is entitled to cumulate votes for the election of directors. Our board is elected by a plurality vote of the holders of the shares of voting stock, with the seven persons receiving the highest number of votes being elected (once our director-nominees have taken office). The shares of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and are not convertible or redeemable. In the case of a liquidation, dissolution or other termination of our business, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of all of our assets remaining available for distribution after all of our liabilities and preferred stock preferences, if any, have been satisfied. Each outstanding share of common stock is, and all shares of common stock outstanding after this offering is completed will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

Class A Warrants

     General. Immediately after this offering, there will be 2,430,770 Class A warrants issued and outstanding of which 2,200,000 are included in the units sold in this offering and 230,770 are included in the units that we will issue to the holders of the Unsecured Notes on the date of this prospectus (assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit). The Class A warrants issued in this offering may be exercised at any time beginning 30 days after the date of this prospectus and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of this prospectus. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $           per share (75% of the unit offering price). This exercise price will be adjusted if specific events, summarized below, occur. A holder of Class A warrants will not be deemed a holder of the underlying stock for any purpose until the Class A warrant is exercised.

     Redemption. Beginning six months after the effective date of this offering, we will have the right to redeem the Class A warrants at a price of $0.25 per warrant, after providing 30 days’ prior written notice to the warran-tholders, at any time after the closing price for our common stock, as reported on the principal market on which our stock trades, was at or above 100% of the unit offering price for any five consecutive trading days. We will

48


send a written notice of redemption by first class mail to holders of the Class A warrants at their last known addresses appearing on the registration records maintained by the warrant agent. No other form of notice or publication or otherwise will be required. If we call the Class A warrants for redemption, the holders of the Class A warrants will then have to decide whether to sell the Class A warrants, exercise them before the close of business on the business day preceding the specified redemption date or hold them for redemption. If the Class A warrants are not covered by a current registration statement or are not qualified for sale under the laws of the state in which holders reside, warrantholders may not be able to exercise them.

     Exercise. The holders of the Class A warrants may exercise them only if an appropriate registration statement is then in effect and if the common stock issuable upon their exercise are qualified for sale under the securities laws of the state in which the holder resides. To exercise a Class A warrant, the holder must deliver to our warrant agent the Class A warrant certificate on or before the expiration date or the redemption date, as applicable, with the form on the reverse side of the certificate executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price for the number of Class A warrants being exercised. Fractional shares of common stock will not be issued upon exercise of the Class A warrants.

     In order for you to exercise the warrants, the shares of common stock underlying them must be covered by an effective registration statement and, if the issuance of shares is not exempt under state securities laws, must be properly registered with state securities regulators. At present, we plan to have a registration statement current when the warrants are redeemed and, to the extent that the underlying shares do not qualify for one or more exemptions under state securities laws, we intend to use our best efforts to register the shares with the relevant authorities. However, we cannot provide absolute assurances that state exemptions will be available, the state authorities will permit us to register the underlying shares, or that an effective registration statement will be in place at the relevant time(s). These factors may have an adverse effect on the demand for the warrants and the prices that can be obtained from reselling them.

     Adjustments of exercise price. The exercise price of the Class A warrants will be adjusted if we declare any stock dividend to shareholders or effect any split or share combination with regard to our common stock. If we effect any stock split or stock combination with regard to our common stock, the exercise price in effect immediately before the stock split or combination will be proportionately reduced or increased, as the case may be. Any adjustment of the exercise price will also result in an adjustment of the number of shares underlying a Class A warrant or, if we elect, an adjustment of the number of Class A warrants outstanding.

Class B Warrants

     Immediately after this offering, there will be 1,215,385 Class B warrants issued and outstanding including 1,100,000 Class B warrants included in the units sold in this offering and 115,385 Class B warrants included in the units that we will issue to the holders of the Unsecured Notes on the date of this prospectus (assuming an initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit). The Class B warrants are identical to the Class A warrants except for the following:

  • the Class B warrants have an exercise price of $           per share (100% of the unit offering price); and

  • the Class B warrants may only be redeemed after our gross revenues for any previous 12 month period, as confirmed by an independent audit, equals or exceeds $20 million.

Preferred Stock

     Our authorized capital includes 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. We have created Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock and have issued shares of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. On the date of this prospectus, all of the outstanding shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock. No shares of the Series C Preferred Stock have been issued, although the holder of the Convertible Notes has the right to convert those notes into shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time. While we intend to repay the Convertible Notes out of the proceeds of this offering, we cannot do so until September 30, 2006. As a result, there is the possibility that holder of the Convertible Notes could convert them into shares of Series C Preferred Stock before we can exercise our prepayment right. The material rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:

  • Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock at any time at the option of the holder. The conversion ratio will be adjusted on a “weighted average” basis if we issue any shares of common stock or any debt or equity security convertible into shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than $3.36.

49


  • The Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 8% per annum cumulatively from the date of issuance.

  • No dividends may be paid on any other class of stock unless and until all accumulated dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock have been paid in full.

  • In a liquidation, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to an amount equal to its liquidation preference, which includes the principal and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes that was converted into stock plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, before payments are made to other shareholders. In addition, after payment of the liquidation preference, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets with all other holders of our capital stock on a pro rata basis.

  • The Series C Preferred Stock votes with the common stock on all matters on as converted basis. Assuming the holder of the Covertible Notes exercised its conversion right on February 1, 2006 in full, it would own approximately 631,010 shares of Series C Preferred Stock representing approximately 17.6% of our voting securities after this offering. That would make it our largest single shareholder and it would have significant influence in any matter that is presented to shareholders for vote.

  • The consent of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock is required for significant corporate transactions such as a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger where we would not be the surviving entity and stock redemptions.

  • We could not issue any series or class of equity securities with rights and preferences that are equal to or superior to those of the Series C Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, require us to pay a liquidated amount or give up other rights as a condition for obtaining its consent.
Options and Warrants

     As of February 1, 2006, we had outstanding warrants covering 254,824 shares of common stock, of which warrants covering 169,883 shares are held by the holder of the Convertible Notes. Those warrants expire April 15, 2008 and have an exercise price of $5.89. The remaining warrants, covering 84,941 shares, have an exercise price of $3.68 and expire in January 2007. There are no registration rights covering the shares underlying these warrants. However, the warrants have a “cashless” or net exercise provision, which means we may not receive any proceeds if and when they are exercised but we would not have to issue the entire number of shares covered by the warrants. The exact number of shares that we would issue will depend on the market price of our stock at the time of exercise.

     As of February 1, 2006, we had outstanding options covering 267,217 shares of common stock. These options have a weighted exercise price of $4.52 per share and expire in 2009 and 2010. As of February 1, 2006, 117,871 options are exercisable.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

     The authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public or private offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued common or preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

     The California General Corporation Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s articles of incorporation, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation, requires a greater percentage. Our articles of incorporation do not impose any supermajority vote requirements.

Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar

     The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and the warrant agent for the Class A and Class B warrants will be U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, located in Glendale, California.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

This Offering

     After this offering is completed we expect to have 3,740,295 shares of common stock outstanding. This number assumes no exercise of the representative’s over-allotment option, the Class A warrants, the Class B warrants, the representative’s warrants or any other outstanding options and warrants. We expect to have 4,070,295 shares of common stock outstanding if the representative’s over-allotment is exercised in full. Of these shares, the 2,200,000 shares of common stock issued as part of the units sold in this offering (2,530,000 shares if the representative’s over-allotment is exercised in full) will be freely tradeable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except that any shares purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The 2,200,000 shares of common stock underlying the Class A warrants and the 1,100,000 shares of common stock underlying the Class B warrants issued as part of the units sold in this offering (2,530,000 shares of common stock in the case of the Class A warrants and 1,265,000 shares of common stock in the case of the Class B warrants if the representative’s over-allotment is exercised in full) will also be freely tradeable after exercise of the warrants, except for shares held by our affiliates.

Outstanding Restricted Stock

     The remaining 1,540,295 outstanding shares of common stock will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an exemption from registration is available, including the exemption from registration offered by Rule 144. The holders of these shares have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of their shares of common stock for a period of one year after completion of this offering, without the prior written consent of Paulson Investment Company, Inc., the representative of the underwriters, subject to certain limited exceptions. After the expiration of the lock-up period, or earlier with the prior written consent of the representative, all of the outstanding restricted shares may be sold in the public market pursuant to Rule 144.

     Without taking into account the lock-up agreements,                 shares of common stock would be eligible for sale under Rule 144 90 days after completion of the offering. The balance of the restricted shares would be eligible for sale under Rule 144 on approximately the following schedule:

  •                 shares in                200   ;

  •                 shares in                200  ; and

  •                 shares on                     , 2007.

     In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year, including a person who may be deemed to be our affiliate, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares of common stock that does not exceed a specified maximum number of shares. This maximum is equal to the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume in the common stock during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and availability of current public information about us. In addition, under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, a person who is not our affiliate, has not been an affiliate of ours within three months prior to the sale and has beneficially owned shares for at least two years would be entitled to sell such shares immediately without regard to volume limitations, manner of sale provisions, notice or other requirements of Rule 144.

Options and Warrants

     Stock Options

     As of February 1, 2006, we had outstanding options to purchase a total of 267,217 shares of common stock under our Equity Incentive Plan. Under that plan, we can grant options covering an additional 157,490 shares of common stock. We intend to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register all shares of common stock issued, issuable or reserved for issuance under our stock option plans. This registration statement is expected to be filed as soon as practicable after the date of this prospectus and will automatically become effective upon filing. Following this filing, shares exercisable pursuant to vested options that are registered under this registration statement will, subject to the lock-up agreements and market standoff provisions described above and Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to our affiliates, be available for sale in the open market.

51


     Warrants

     Immediately prior to the date of this prospectus, we had outstanding warrants covering 254,824 shares of common stock. None of these warrants, nor the underlying shares of common stock, have registration rights.

Representative’s Warrants

     In connection with this offering, we have agreed to issue to the representative of the underwriters warrants to purchase 110,000 units. The representative’s warrants will be exercisable for units at any time beginning 180 days after the effective date of this offering until the fifth anniversary of the effective date. However, neither the representative’s warrants nor the underlying securities may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering, except to any member participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, and only if all securities so transferred remain subject to the 180-day lock-up restriction for the remainder of the lock-up period. We will cause the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to remain effective until the earlier of the time that all of the representative’s warrants have been exercised and the date which is five years after the effective date of the offering or will file a new registration statement covering the exercise and resale of those securities. The common stock and Class A and Class B public warrants issued to the representative upon exercise of these representative’s warrants will be freely tradeable.

Registration Rights

     We have agreed to register for resale approximately one year from the date of this prospectus the (a) 230,770 shares of common stock, (b) 230,770 Class A warrants and (c) 115,385 Class B warrants that we are issuing to the holders of the Unsecured Notes on the date of this prospectus as well as the 346,155 shares of common stock underlying those warrants (assuming and initial public offering price of $13.00 per unit).

     We have also granted demand and piggyback registration rights to the holder of the Convertible Note in regard to the common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock underlying the Convertible Notes. The demand registration rights cannot be exercised until the earlier of September 30, 2007 or six months after a “Qualified Public Offering,” defined as a public offering where the offering price is not less than $4.00 per share and the net proceeds are at least $10 million. The piggyback registration rights are exercisable immediately but are subject to full underwriter cutbacks on a Qualified Public Offering.

UNDERWRITING

     Paulson Investment Company, Inc. is acting as the representative of the underwriters named below. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with these underwriters regarding the units being offered under this prospectus. In connection with this offering and subject to certain conditions, each of these underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the number of units set forth opposite the name of the underwriter.

    Number of 
Underwriter    units 


 
Paulson Investment Company, Inc.     
     
Capital Growth Financial, LLC    
Chicago Investment Group, LLC    

 
 
 
 
 
Total   
1,100,000 


The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the units offered by this prospectus, other than those covered by the over-allotment option, if any units are purchased. The underwriting agreement also provides that the underwriters’ obligations to pay for and accept delivery of the units is subject to the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and other conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement be in effect and that no proceedings for this purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

     The representative has advised us that the underwriters propose to offer our units to the public initially at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to selected dealers at that price less a concession of not more than $           per unit. The underwriters and selected dealers may reallow a concession to other dealers, including the underwriters, of not more than $           per unit. After the public offering of the units is complete, the offering price, the concessions to selected dealers and the reallowance to their dealers may be changed by the underwriters.

     The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to confirm sales of our units offered by this prospectus on a discretionary basis.

     Over-allotment Option. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we have granted the representative an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 165,000 units on the same terms as the other units being purchased by the underwriters from us. The representative may exercise the option solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in the sale of the units that the underwriters have agreed to purchase. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the total public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds to us before offering expenses will be $               , $                and $               , respectively.

     Stabilization and Other Transactions. The rules of the SEC generally prohibit the underwriters from trading in our securities on the open market during this offering. However, the underwriters are allowed to engage in some open market transactions and other activities during this offering that may cause the market price of our securities to be above or below that which would otherwise prevail in the open market. These activities may include stabilization, short sales and over-allotments, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.

  • Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made by the managing underwriter for the purpose of preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of our securities while this offering is in progress.

  • Short sales and over-allotments occur when the managing underwriter, on behalf of the underwriting syndicate, sells more of our shares than they purchase from us in this offering. In order to cover the resulting short position, the managing underwriter may exercise the over-allotment option described above and/or may engage in syndicate covering transactions. There is no contractual limit on the size of any syndicate covering transaction. The underwriters will deliver a prospectus in connection with any such short sales. Purchasers of shares sold short by the underwriters are entitled to the same remedies under the federal securities laws as any other purchaser of units covered by the registration statement.

  • Syndicate covering transactions are bids for or purchases of our securities on the open market by the managing underwriter on behalf of the underwriters in order to reduce a short position incurred by the managing underwriter on behalf of the underwriters.

53


  • A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the managing underwriter to reclaim the selling concession that would otherwise accrue to an underwriter if the common stock originally sold by the underwriter were later repurchased by the managing underwriter and therefore was not effectively sold to the public by such underwriter.

     If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time without notice. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Pacific Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

     Indemnification. The underwriting agreement provides for indemnification between us and the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and for contribution by us and the underwriters to payments that may be required to be made with respect to those liabilities. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

     Underwriters’ Compensation. We have agreed to sell the units to the underwriters at the initial offering price of $           per unit, which represents the initial public offering price of the units set forth on the cover page of this prospectus less an 8% underwriting discount. The underwriting agreement also provides that the representative will be paid a nonaccountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the units offered by this prospectus, excluding any units purchased on exercise of the over-allotment option. In October 2005, we paid $30,000 to the representative as an advance against payment of offering expenses.

     On completion of this offering, we will issue to the representative a warrant to purchase up to 110,000 units, for a price per unit equal to 120% of the initial public offering price of the units. The representative’s warrants will be exercisable for units at any time beginning 180 days after the effective date of this offering, and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the effective date. However, neither the representative’s warrants nor the underlying securities may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering, except to any member participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, and only if all securities so transferred remain subject to the 180-day lock-up restriction for the remainder of the lockup period.

     The holder of these warrants will have, in that capacity, no voting, dividend or other shareholder rights. Any profit realized on the sale of the units issuable upon exercise of these warrants may be deemed to be additional underwriting compensation. The securities underlying these warrants are being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. During the term of these warrants, the holder thereof is given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock, our Class A warrants and our Class B warrants. We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while these warrants are outstanding. At any time at which these warrants are likely to be exercised, we may be able to obtain additional equity capital on more favorable terms.

     The following table summarizes the underwriting discount and non-accountable expense allowance we will pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

     Loans from Representative. The representative loaned us $200,000 in July 2005 and another $200,000 in August 2005. Both loans bear interest at 10% per annum. The proceeds of the loans were used to pay expenses relating to this offering and for working capital. The principal and accrued interest will be repaid out of the proceeds of this offering.

     Lock-Up Agreements. All our officers and directors and all of our pre-offering shareholders other than the holder of the Convertible Notes have agreed that, for a period of one year from the date this registration statement becomes effective, they will not sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our equity securities,

54


without the consent of the representative. The holder of the Convertible Notes is subject to a 180-day lock-up in the event the Notes are converted rather than repaid. The representative may consent to an early release from the lock-up periods if, in its opinion, the market for the common stock would not be adversely impacted by sales and in cases of an officer, director or other shareholders’ financial emergency. We are unaware of any officer, director or current shareholder who intends to ask for consent to dispose of any of our equity securities during the lock-up period.

     Determination of Offering Price. The public offering price of the units offered by this prospectus and the exercise price and other terms of the Class A warrants and Class B warrants were determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the public offering price of the units and the exercise price of the warrants were:

  • our history and our prospects;

  • the industry in which we operate;

  • the status and development prospects for our proposed services;

  • our past and present operating results;

  • the previous experience of our executive officers; and

  • the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.

     The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the units. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, and we cannot assure you that the units, or the common stock and warrants contained in the units, can be resold at or above the initial public offering price.

LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the common shares offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Morse, Zelnick, Rose & Lander LLP, New York, New York. Affiliates of Morse, Zelnick, including its partners, will own an aggregate of 110,000 shares of our common stock once this offering is completed. Wickersham & Murphy, a professional corporation, Palo Alto, California, will pass upon certain matters for the underwriters named in this prospectus in connection with this offering.

EXPERTS

     Haskell & White LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have audited our financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 as set forth in their report. We have included these financial statements in this prospectus, and in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, in reliance on Haskell & White LLP’s report, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
American Mold Guard, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Mold Guard, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from inception, January 13, 2003, through December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Mold Guard, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from inception, January 13, 2003, through December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations since inception, has a working capital deficit and a shareholders’ deficiency, and requires additional funds to meet its obligations and fund the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the financial statements that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

  Organization

     American Mold Guard, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced operations in September 2002 and was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on January 13, 2003.

  Nature of Operations

     The Company’s principal business is providing mold prevention and restoration services to the residential home building industry. The Company focuses it efforts on single and multi-family residential new construction. Currently, the Company operates 11 service centers in four states - California, Florida, Texas and Louisiana. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trust One Termite, Inc. (“Trust One”), the Company also provides termite control services.

  Acquisition of Trust One Termite, Inc.

     The Company acquired Trust One on February 1, 2005. Under the terms of the acquisition the Company issued 10,000 shares of its common stock for all the issued and outstanding shares of Trust One. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The shares were valued at $12,500, based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock at the day of the acquisition of $1.25 per share. The Company acquired Trust One on February 1, 2005. The results of Trust One’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

     The acquisition of Trust One was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The consideration paid for all of Trust One’s stock was 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company valued the transaction at $12,500 based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition of $1.25 per share. The fair value of the Company’s common stock issued in the transaction was deemed to be a more reliable measure of the value of the transaction because it was consistent with recent valuations of the Company’s stock in connection with various financing transactions and because there was no objective reliable valuation of Trust One. Trust One was losing money and, aside from cash on hand, had nominal tangible assets. The real value of Trust One was the intangible assets — its customers and its pest control license issued by the State of California, in which Trust One had only a small investment. Using this valuation, $4,397 was allocated to intangible assets. The results of Trust One’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.

     All assets and liabilities of Trust One have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet based on the fair values at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets relating to the purchase was $4,397. The principal asset of Trust One is a pest control service provider license issued by the State of California.

The following table details the allocation of the purchase price:

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations (continued)

  Zero Plus

     Zero Plus, LLC (“Zero Plus”) was formed on April 5, 2005 by the Company and Electronic Aquagenics Unlimited (“EAU”) for the purpose of marketing and selling the products and services of EAU. Zero Plus is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by EAU. The Company and EAU agreed that the Company would provide sales and marketing expertise and EAU would supply the funding. The Company’s President devoted substantially all of his time to developing a marketing strategy and program for Zero Plus. Zero Plus was initially capitalized with cash of $83,000, all of which was provided by EAU. In May and July 2005, EAU invested an additional $50,000. As of September 30, 2005, Zero Plus had an equity deficit of $113,126 and a working capital deficit of $131,584. In December 2005, the Company sold its 50% interest in Zero Plus to EAU. (See Note 12 - Subsequent Events.)

     The Company accounts for its investment in Zero Plus using the equity method of accounting. In exchange for its 50% ownership interest, the Company is providing back office support services to Zero Plus. Each month, the Company increases its investment in Zero Plus and recognizes income for the estimated fair value of the back office support services provided to Zero Plus. Each month the Company also recognizes its proportionate share of Zero Plus’ net loss to the extent that such amount does not exceed its investment in Zero Plus. As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s basis in its investment in Zero Plus is $0.

Note 2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

     These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company’s historical financial performance, its current financial condition and the uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to obtain additional financing, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring operating losses since inception and for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,290,449, had a working capital deficiency of $992,792, an accumulated deficit of $4,474,496 and negative shareholders’ equity of $1,037,817. Although the Company realized revenue gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,000,699 for the period and as of that date had a working capital deficiency of $2,764,569 an accumulated deficit of $7,475,195 and negative shareholders’ equity of $3,127,401. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient capital, whether through the sale of equity or debt securities. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company cease to continue operating as a going concern.

     On July 16, 2005, the Company signed a letter of intent with Paulson Investment Company (the “Underwriter”) to make a firmly underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”). As currently contemplated, in the IPO the Company will offer 1,100,000 units, each consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), two Class A redeemable common stock purchase warrants (the “Class A Warrants”) and one Class B redeemable common stock purchase warrant (the “Class B Warrants” and together with the Class A Warrants, the “Warrants”).

     As currently contemplated, the initial public offering price of the units is expected to be between $12.00 and $14.00 per unit or $13.2 million to $16.4 million in the aggregate. The net proceeds to the Company, after paying

underwriting commissions, a non-accountable expense allowance and other offering costs, are expected to be approximately $12.0 million. The Company has granted the Underwriter an “over-allotment” option under which the Underwriter may purchase up to 165,000 units from the Company resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the IPO to repay debt, to open new service centers and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the letter of intent, the Company agreed that at the time the IPO is effective it will not have more than 1.4 million shares issued and outstanding. In order to comply with this condition, the Company will have to effect a reverse stock split prior to the IPO. There can be no assurance that the IPO will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated, if at all.

Note 3. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

  Principles of Consolidation

     These consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trust One. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The operations of Zero Plus are not consolidated because the Company bears no obligation to invest capital or to fund cash flow deficits; EAU bears all risks of cash losses.

  Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 included are unaudited but have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results for any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as whole.

  Management Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when acquired, to be cash equivalents.

  Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market and consist primarily of raw materials.

  Deferred Offering Costs

     Direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s sale of the Unsecured Notes (see Note 6) during the year ended December 31, 2004 and the IPO during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, principally legal expenses, are capitalized. The costs related to the Unsecured Notes are being amortized over the life of the Unsecured Notes. The Company will be offsetting the costs associated with the IPO against the proceeds in the period in which the proceeds are received. In the event the IPO is unsuccessful, the Company will charge these costs to operations.

Note 3. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company provides for depreciation over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leased equipment are amortized over the life of the related non-cancelable lease. Repair and maintenance expenditures that significantly add to the value of the property, or prolong its life, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance expenditures that do not significantly add to the value of the property, or prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the related period’s statement of operations.

  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses significant issues relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121 and develops a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether or not such assets are deemed to be a business. SFAS No. 144 also modifies the accounting and disclosure rules for discontinued operations. Management did not note any indicators of impairment during the periods ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005.

  Income Taxes

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amount at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

  Comprehensive Income

     The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. The Company did not have any items of other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 or for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005.

  Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is based on contracts for agreed upon fees entered into with customers for the services to be completed and is recognized when the service is completed, the amount of the service and contract value is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The resulting accounts receivable are reported at their principal amounts adjusted for an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts, if appropriate. The Company does not require collateral on its accounts receivable.

  Product Warranties

     The Company provides a general warranty on its services that extends for the entire “statute of repose,” the period during which, under the various state laws, builders have continuing liability for construction defects. In general, the period of continuing liability is between ten and fifteen years depending upon the state in which the service has been provided. The warranty covers both property damage and personal injury arising from mold contamination on any surface treated by the Company. The personal injury portion of the warranty is supported by a $2 million pollution liability mold giveback provision under the Company’s general liability policy. The Company estimates its exposure to warranty claims based upon historical warranty claim costs. Management reviews these estimates on a regular basis and adjusts the warranty provisions as actual experience differs from historical esti-

Note 3. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

mates or other information becomes available. However, the Company does not have, at this time, sufficient experience to determine if a reserve is required and/or if the coverage under the general liability policy is sufficient should claims be filed against the Company. To date, the Company has not been required to perform under the terms of its warranty provisions, and management is not aware of any pending or threatened claims. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any accruals or provisions associated with future product warranty expenditures.

  Stock-based Compensation

     SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” defines a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation for stock options granted to employees and non-employees. The Company measures employee compensation cost under the intrinsic method provided by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) whereby compensation expense is recognized for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s common stock over the option price on the date the option is granted. No such compensation expense was recognized during the period from inception, January 13, 2003, through September 30, 2005. The Company recognizes expense related to grants of options/warrants to non-employees in accordance with the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123.

     If the Company had adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 for employee stock options, in connection with options issued during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company would have recorded deferred compensation of $181,919 (using the Black-Sholes method of valuation with a volatility ranging from 44.6% to 48.9%, a discount rate ranging from 2.184% and 3.109%, a term of five years and no dividends). If the Company had adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 for employee stock options, in connection with the options issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company would have recorded compensation of $70,511 (using a Black-Sholes method of valuation with a volatility ranging from 48.2% to 54.7%, discount rate of 3.109%, a term of five years and no dividends). The grants vest over a period of three years with one-third vesting after one year and the remaining two-thirds vesting ratably over the eight remaining quarters.

     The pro forma loss assuming implementation of SFAS No. 123 is as follows:

Risk Management

     The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk, interest rate or hedging risks. The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk and the Company is not a party to any derivative transactions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued salary and wages, accrued interest payable and short term debt approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Per Share Information

     The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares of Common Stock issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities which are exercisable during or after the reporting period. In the event of a net loss, such incremental shares are not included in EPS since their effects are anti-dilutive. Securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive, aggregate -0- for the period beginning January 13, 2003 (inception) and ended December 31, 2003 and 400,000, 400,000 and 2,449,369 for the periods ended December 31, 2004, September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” which amends the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) under the guidance in APB Opinion No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”. Paragraph 5 of APB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . .under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets”, and an amendment to APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”. SFAS 153 eliminates certain differences in the guidance in APB 29 as compared to the guidance contained in standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The amendment to APB 29 eliminates the fair value exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Such an exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are

Note 3. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after December 16, 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” which amends SFAS 123 and APB 25. SFAS 123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the financial statements based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments (except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based (even in part) on the price of the entity’s shares or other equity instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance of an entity’s shares or other equity instruments. This statement is effective (1) for public companies qualifying as “small business issuers” (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission), as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005, or (2) for all other public companies, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or (3) for all nonpublic entities, as of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005. Management intends to adopt this policy for the quarter ending March 31, 2006. Management is currently assessing the effect of SFAS 123(R) on the Company’s financial statements, however, management expects the adoption of this statement to increase the Company’s stock-based compensation charges.

Note 5. Income Taxes

     The Company had net operating losses during the period from inception to December 31, 2003, for the year ended December 31 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and, as a result, has not recorded a provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     For the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company incurred net losses of $1,184,047 and $3,290,449, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, the Company incurred net losses of $1,982,610 and $3,000,699, respectively.

     For the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the income tax computed at the Federal Statutory rate of 34.0% was fully offset by changes in the valuation allowance.

     The accumulated net operating losses for federal tax purposes was $900,867, $3,221,462 and $6,059,580 as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, respectively. The Company has fully offset the net operating loss carryforward by a valuation allowance of an equal amount and the carryforwards will begin to expire in 2023. The utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited based on past and future issuances of common and preferred stock due to the ownership change provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The net deferred income tax assets have been fully reserved for as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, as management determined that it is more likely than not that such assets would not be realized. Accordingly, a deferred income tax benefit has not been recorded for any of the periods presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Short Term Loans:

2003

Unsecured Loans

     On November 1, 2003, the Company borrowed $75,000 from a relative of the president of the Company. Under its original terms, this loan was to be repaid in 90 days. If not, the loan would bear interest at the rate of 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company per month until paid in full. The loan was not repaid and on January 3, 2005, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release under which the Company issued a new $75,000 Promissory Note bearing interest at 7% per annum and a maturity date of December 31, 2006 or 10 business days after the completion of an initial public offering by the Company of its Common Stock, whichever occurs first. The Company also issued a Common Stock purchase warrant covering 250,000 shares of common stock (the “January 2005 Warrants”) in exchange for 110,000 shares of common stock previously earned as interest by the lender. The Company has recorded the estimated fair value of the warrant at $128,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 as interest expense and additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2005, the loan, plus accrued interest of $10,487, remains outstanding. (See Note 9 - Common Stock Purchase Warrants.)

     On November 10, 2003, the Company borrowed $25,000 from a shareholder. This loan bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum without an established due date. Interest is accrued monthly and is payable upon the payment of the principal amount. On August 31, 2004, the Company borrowed an additional $15,000 from this investor on the same terms as the November 10, 2003 loan. As of September 30, 2005, the entire $40,000 principal amount remains outstanding. The entire principal amount of the loan and accrued interest will be paid from the net proceeds of the IPO.

2004

Unsecured Loans

     During 2004, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $350,000 from five individual investors. The loans bear interest at rates ranging between 7% and 12% per annum which is payable monthly. The loans are past their contractual due dates, however, by oral agreement, the parties have extended the maturity dates of the borrowings until the completion of the IPO. As of December 31, 2004, the aggregate balances of these loans was $344,820. As of September 30, 2005 the aggregate balances was $334,626.

Note 6. Notes Payable (continued)

     In May 2004, the Company’s president loaned the Company $25,000 on an unsecured basis with interest accruing at the rate of 3% per month. During the period from May 2004 through March 2005, additional advances were made and the loan balance ranged from $53,006 to $7,772. The loan was fully repaid in March 2005. The principal balance of the loan at December 31, 2004 was $19,425.

Secured Loan

     In April 2004, the Company borrowed $170,000 secured by accounts receivable of the Company. The loan bears an interest rate of 3% per month. As of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, the outstanding balance was $170,000. The loan was due upon the Company receiving payment from the customer for the applicable customer receivables. By verbal agreement the due date has been extended to be repaid in full from the proceeds of the IPO.

2005
Unsecured Notes

     On each of July 11, 2005 and August 9, 2005, the Company issued 10% unsecured promissory notes in the principal amount of $200,000 ($400,000 in the aggregate) to the Underwriter. The July note is due July 11, 2006 and the August note is due October 15, 2006. Both notes are payable out of the proceeds of the IPO. As of September 30, 2005, both notes remain outstanding. (See Note 12.)

     In September 2005, the Company issued a 10% unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $100,000 to an individual investor. The note is due on August 31, 2006, or, if earlier, out of the proceeds of a $3 million equity financing. As of September 30, 2005, the note remained outstanding. In order to induce the investor to make this loan, the Company’s chief executive officer agreed to personally guarantee repayment of the note and to transfer $150,000 worth of common stock that he personally owns to the investor.

     On September 20, 2005, the Company issued $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 10% unsecured promissory notes due August 31, 2006 (the “Unsecured Notes”) and the right to receive $1.5 million worth of the Company’s securities (the “Additional Securities”). The purchase price for the notes and the Additional Securities was $1.5 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”), all of which has been received by the Company. The Additional Securities will be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes at such time as the Company completes a financing with gross proceeds of $5 million or more (a “Qualified Sale”) and will be identical to the securities issued in the Qualified Sale. The Additional Securities have been valued at $1.5 million and deferred interest costs (debt discount), which will be amortized over the life of the Unsecured Notes, has been valued at $1.5 million. If a Qualified Sale does not occur by December 31, 2006, then the holders of the Unsecured Notes will receive an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock. The Unsecured Notes and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon, are due and payable on the earlier of August 31, 2006 or three business days following the date which the Company completes an equity financing resulting in gross proceeds of at least $3 million.

Long Term Debt

Convertible Notes

     On September 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor under which the investor agreed to purchase up to $4,250,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10% secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued four Convertible Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $1,950,000. Convertible Notes having an original principal amount of $500,000 were issued on each of October 5 and December 9, 2004. A Convertible Note with a principal amount of $350,000 was issued on January 24, 2005 and a Convertible Note having an original principal amount of $600,000 was issued on April 15, 2005. Interest on the Convertible Notes is paid quarterly in arrears at March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year beginning June 30, 2005. The Convertible Notes mature on September 30, 2007. After September 30, 2006, the Company may redeem all or a part of the

Note 6. Notes Payable (continued)

Convertible Notes in minimum increments of $250,000. The holder of the Convertible Notes may convert such notes at any time into shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which, in turn is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The conversion price is $1.14.

     Simultaneously with its issuance of the $600,000 Convertible note on April 15, 2005, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $2.00 per share (the “April 2005 Warrants”). The Company has recorded the relative estimated fair value of the warrant of $147,368 as debt discount and additional paid-in capital in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. (See Note 8.)

     Based on the effective conversion rate, the Company calculated the estimated value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with the Convertible Notes to be $1,471,053. Such amount is accounted for as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes. Interest expense charged for the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $29,704 and $316,426, respectively.

     In September 2005, in order to facilitate the completion of the sale of the Unsecured Notes and the contemplated IPO, the Company and the holders of the Convertible Notes entered into an agreement that, among other things, provided as follows:

  • The holders of Convertible Notes waived the right to convert those notes into shares of Series C Preferred Stock before February 17, 2006.

  • The Convertible Notes will become immediately due and payable upon the completion a firm commitment underwritten public offering generating gross proceeds in excess of $4 million before February 17, 2006.

  • Upon the successful completion of the IPO, the Company will issue to the holder of the Convertible Notes 666,667 Class A Warrants and 333,333 Class B Warrants in exchange for the April 2005 Warrants and to register those warrants and the underlying shares of common stock simultaneously with the registration of the securities to be offered in the IPO.

Employment Agreements

     On January 1, 2004, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer and its president, and on July 1, 2004 the Company entered into an employment agreement with its chief financial officer who, in August 2005, was also named chief operating officer. Each of the agreements have a term of five years and automatically renew for successive three-year terms unless either party to the agreement gives written notice, 90 days prior to the end of the agreement, not to renew the agreement. In the event the Company terminates the employment of an individual for any reason other than death, disability or “justifiable cause” (defined to include any willful breach by the executive of his duties under the agreement or the executive’s conviction of any crime involving the property of the company or any crime constituting a felony), the executives would be entitled to a severance payment of 24 months of the then current monthly base salary plus target bonus as in effect on the last day of his employment and reimbursement for the cost of maintaining his medical and dental insurance for 24 months. In the event of a termination in connection with a “change of control” or by the executive for “good reason’ (defined to include a relocation of the executive’s workplace to a location more than 30 miles from Irvine, California and a material reduction of the executive’s base salary, duties and authority of position), then the executive is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his unpaid, annualized base salary for the remainder of the year in which the termination occurs and a lump sum payment equal to three times his highest annual compensation (salary plus bonus) for any of the three calendar years immediately preceding the date of termination.

     The initial base salary of the chief executive officer and the president is $170,000. The initial base salary of the chief financial/chief operating officer is $120,000.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law grants us the power to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation - a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s charter, bylaws, disinterested director vote, shareholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

     Our Articles of Incorporation provides that we indemnify and hold harmless each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the California General Corporation Law, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.

     Our Articles of Incorporation also provides that a director will not be personally liable to us or to our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:

  • for breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or to our shareholders;

  • for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

  • under Section 316 of the California General Corporation Law (relating to unlawful payments or dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions); or

  • for any improper benefit.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the California General Corporation Law, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

     The Underwriting Agreement provides for reciprocal indemnification between us and our controlling persons, on the one hand, and the underwriters and their respective controlling persons, on the other hand, against certain liabilities in connection with this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

     The following are the expenses of the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered, other than underwriting commissions and expenses, all of which will be paid by the Company. Other than the SEC registration fee and the NASD filing fees all of such expenses are estimated.

SEC Registration fee    $  7,242

    Item 28. Undertakings

         A.      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                   (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

                             (a)      include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                             (b)      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

                             (c)      include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.

                   (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                   (3)      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

         B.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connec-

    II-5


    tion with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    SIGNATURES

         In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of San Juan Capistrano, State of California on February 13, 2006.

DIVIDENDS. A. GENERAL OBLIGATION. When and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of California, the Corporation will pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (a "Share") will accrue cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Share, whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share will be deemed to be the "Series A Original Issue Date" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Shares. B. DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES. To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each June and December, beginning December 15, 2003 (the "Dividend Reference Dates"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share then outstanding during the annual period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date will be added to the Liquidation Value of such Share and will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid. C. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends shall be paid by forwarding a check, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder (or in the case of joint holders, to the address of either such holder) of Series A Preferred Stock as shown on the books of the Corporation, unless such holder specifies another address by written notice to the Corporation. The forwarding of such check will satisfy all obligations of the Corporation with respect to such dividends, unless such check is not paid upon timely presentation. D. DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed among the holders of a Share so that an equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding Share. EXHIBIT A E. OTHER DIVIDENDS. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid, or declared and set apart for payment, other than dividends of Common Stock on the Common Stock of the Corporation, on the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, other than the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock, until the dividend provided for in Section 1A hereinabove is declared and paid, nor shall any shares of any class or series of such capital stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation and no money shall be paid into or set aside and made available for a sinking fund for the purchase, redemption or acquisition thereof, without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at a meeting called for that purpose. 2. VOTING. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, all voting as one class, posses voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes. In the exercise of voting powers, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting, or validating either of the following: (i) the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class of stock of the Company ranking prior to the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation or otherwise, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Company into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issue of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, or of the Company's Bylaws, as amended, so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock. 3. LIQUIDATION. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to any person holding Common Stock or of any shares ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of distribution of assets, the persons holding Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid 2 EXHIBIT A an amount in cash equal to $1.25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends. Thereafter, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further payment. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock the full amount in cash to which they shall be entitled, all legally available funds of the Corporation will be distributed to the persons holding Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amounts to which each such person shall be entitled as aforesaid. The Corporation will mail written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment dates stated therein, to each person of record holding Series A Preferred Stock (by air mail if addressed outside the United States). Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Corporation, will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3. 4. CONVERSION RIGHTS. Each share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such share, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series A Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the shares being converted. No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward. If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "Organic Change") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to 3 EXHIBIT A such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. The holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation, upon written order and at its own expense, shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. 4 EXHIBIT A No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, at its option either (i) adjust the fractional interest by payment to the holder of the converted Series A Preferred Stock in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the then current market value of the fractional interest or (ii) issue nondividend bearing and nonvoting scrip certificates for fractions of a share which would otherwise be issuable, in form and containing terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, and exchangeable, within the period following the date of issue as the Board of Directors shall fix, together with other unexpired scrip certificates or like tenor aggregating one or more full shares, for share certificates representing the full share or shares. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director and shareholder action), and in accordance with the laws of the State of California, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. 5. REDEMPTIONS. A. REDEMPTION PRICE. For each Share which is to be redeemed, the Corporation will be obligated to pay to the holder thereof an amount equal to the Liquidation Value thereof (the "Redemption Price"). B. OPTIONAL REDEMPTIONS. The Corporation may at any time redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, at a price per Share equal to the Redemption Price (the "Optional Redemptions"). Optional Redemptions may be made only for all Shares then outstanding or for 50 Shares or any whole multiple thereof. For any Optional Redemption, the "Number of Shares to be Redeemed" for purposes of Section 5C hereinbelow will be the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Redemption referred to Section 5C hereinbelow. 5 EXHIBIT A C. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; PAYMENT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. The Corporation will mail written notice (the "Notice of Redemption") of each Optional Redemption to each Person who is the record holder of Shares (sometimes referred to herein as the "Stockholders") not more than 120 nor less than 90 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Upon mailing any Notice of Redemption which relates to an Optional Redemption, the Corporation will become obligated (A) to redeem from each Stockholder the number of Shares required to be redeemed from such Stockholder pursuant to Section 5B hereinabove and (B) to send such Stockholder a cashier's or certified check in an amount equal to the Redemption Price of such number of Shares at least 15 days prior to the date specified for redemption in the notice. Upon receipt of such check, the person holding the Shares to be redeemed will become obligated to surrender the certificate(s) representing such number of Shares on or before the date specified for redemption in the notice. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares will be issued to the person holding the Shares thereof in such holder's or such holder's nominee's name, without cost to such holder. D. DIVIDENDS AFTER REDEMPTION DATE. No Share is entitled to any dividends accruing after its Redemption Date. On such Redemption Date all rights of the person holding such Share will cease, and such Share will not be deemed to be outstanding. E. REDEEMED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED SHARES. Any Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation will be canceled and will not be reissued, sold or transferred. F. OTHER REDEMPTIONS OR ACQUISITIONS. The Corporation will neither redeem nor otherwise acquire any Preferred Stock, except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a purchase offer made pro rata to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock. G. REDEMPTION PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GENERAL CORPORATION LAW. The Corporation will neither redeem nor otherwise acquire any Preferred Stock except as expressly authorized under Sections 402, 500, 501, 502 and 503 of the California General Corporation Law. H. ACCRUED DIVIDENDS MUST BE PAID PRIOR TO ANY REDEMPTION. The Corporation will not redeem any Series A Preferred Stock, unless all dividends accrued on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock through the immediately preceding Dividend Reference Date have been paid in full. 6 EXHIBIT A 6. FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 7. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. A. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without obtaining approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock: (i) Authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any other equity security (including any security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security) on parity with, or senior to, the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or liquidation preferences; (ii) Redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any of the Common Stock otherwise than as permitted herein; (iii) Effect any sale, lease, assignment, transfer, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation, unless the Corporation shall be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (iv) Effect any reclassification or other change of any of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock, or any recapitalization. B. NO REISSUANCE OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK. No share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of purchase or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue. 8. MISCELLANEOUS. A. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. "COMMON STOCK" means collectively, the Corporation's common stock and any capital stock of any class of the Corporation hereafter authorized which is not limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par or stated value in respect to the rights of the 7 EXHIBIT A holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. "LIQUIDATION VALUE" of any Share as of any particular date will be equal to the sum of $1.25 plus any unpaid dividends on such Share added to the Liquidation Value of such Share on any Dividend Reference Date and not thereafter paid; and, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or the redemption of such Shares, unpaid dividends on such Shares will be added to the Liquidation Value of such Share on the payment date in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, accrued to the close of business on such payment date or Redemption Date. "PERSON" means an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof. "REDEMPTION DATE" as to any Share means the date specified in the notice of any redemption at the Corporation's option; PROVIDED that no such date will be a Redemption Date unless the applicable Redemption Price is actually paid in full on or before such date, and if not so paid in full, the Redemption Date will be the date on which such Redemption Price is fully paid. "SUBSIDIARY" means any corporation of which shares of stock having at least a majority of the general voting power in electing the board of directors is, at the time as of which any determination is being made, owned by the Corporation either directly or indirectly through Subsidiaries.

C. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Corporation will keep at its principal office a register for the registration of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series A Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation will, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefore representing in the aggregate the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate. 8 EXHIBIT A D. REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder, without bond, will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing one or more shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. E. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Certificate of Determination will be binding or effective with respect to (i) any provision affecting or relating to dividends, conversion or redemption without the prior written consent of holders of at least 60% of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time such action is taken, or (ii) any other provision of this Certificate of Determination without the prior written consent of holders of two-thirds of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time such action is taken. 9 EXHIBIT A AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK OF AMERICAN MOLD GUARD, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION The undersigned, Tom Blakeley, hereby certifies that: 1.

DIVIDENDS. A. GENERAL OBLIGATION. When and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of California, the Corporation will pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (a "Share") will accrue cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Share, whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share will be deemed to be the "Series A Original Issue Date" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Shares. B. DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES. To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each June and December, beginning December 15, 2003 (the "Dividend Reference Dates"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share then outstanding during the annual period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date will be added to the Liquidation Value of such Share and will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid. C. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends shall be paid by forwarding a check, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder (or in the case of joint holders, to the address of either such holder) of Series A Preferred Stock as shown on the books of the Corporation, unless such holder specifies another address by written notice to the Corporation. The forwarding of such check will satisfy all obligations of the Corporation with respect to such dividends, unless such check is not paid upon timely presentation. D. DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed among the holders of a Share so that an equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding Share. E. OTHER DIVIDENDS. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid, or declared and set apart for payment, other than dividends of Common Stock on the Common Stock of the Corporation, on the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, EXHIBIT A other than the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock, until the dividend provided for in Section 1A hereinabove is declared and paid, nor shall any shares of any class or series of such capital stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation and no money shall be paid into or set aside and made available for a sinking fund for the purchase, redemption or acquisition thereof, without the written consent of the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at a meeting called for that purpose. 2. VOTING. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, all voting as one class, posses voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes. In the exercise of voting powers, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting, or validating either of the following: (i) the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to or on parity with the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation or otherwise, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issue of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares; or (ii) take any action so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock. 3. LIQUIDATION. (a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to any person holding Common Stock or of any shares ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of distribution of assets, the persons holding Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid an amount in cash equal to $1.25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock the full amount in cash to which they shall be entitled, all legally available funds of the Corporation will be distributed to the persons holding Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amounts to which each such person shall be entitled as aforesaid. The Corporation will mail written notice of such 2 EXHIBIT A liquidation, dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment dates stated therein, to each person of record holding Series A Preferred Stock (by air mail if addressed outside the United States). (b) After payment to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Section 3 (a) above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then held by them and the shares of Common Stock which they then have the right to acquire upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them. (c) For purposes of this Section 3, (i) any acquisition of the Corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation (other than a mere reincorporation transaction) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and shall entitle the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock to receive at the closing in cash, securities or other property (valued as provided in Section 3(d) below) amounts as specified in Sections 3(a) through 3(b) above. (d) Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 3 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 4. CONVERSION. A. Right to Convert. Each share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such share, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. B. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each share shall automatically be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, at a public offering price (prior to underwriters' discounts and expenses) equal to or exceeding $4.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or to any selling shareholders (after deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Corporation's counsel) of which exceed $10,000,000. 3 EXHIBIT A C. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. (i) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series A Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the shares being converted. (ii) No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward. (iii) If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "Organic Change") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such 4 EXHIBIT A assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. (iv) In the event the Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Threshold Amount (as defined below), then and in such event the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to reflect such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock by multiplying the Threshold Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase for the Threshold Amount per share, and the denominator of which shall be number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all Convertible Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance and any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised immediately prior to such issuance (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Securities, or outstanding options, warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities, solely as a result of the adjustment of the conversion ratio for the Series A Preferred Stock resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment. The "Threshold Amount" shall initially be $1.25 and shall be adjusted from time to time commensurately with each change in the conversion ratio, as initially specified in Section 4(A), including without limitation, changes contemplated under Section 4(C)(i), so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. (v) The holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a 5 EXHIBIT A certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open.

Dividends shall be paid by forwarding a check, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder (or in the case of joint holders, to the address of either such holder) of Series B Preferred Stock as shown on the books of the Corporation, unless such holder specifies another address by written notice to the Corporation. The forwarding of such check will satisfy all obligations of the Corporation with respect to such dividends, unless such check is not paid upon timely presentation. D. DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed among the holders of a Series B Share so that an equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding Series B Share. E. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. All shares of Common Stock shall rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends. EXHIBIT A So long as any Series B Shares remain outstanding, no dividend shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, or other distribution made, on the shares of any class of stock ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, nor shall any shares of any class of stock (or series thereof) of the corporation ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to, or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all past Series B Dividend Reference Dates ending immediately prior to the date on which such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption or acquisition is to occur and the then current Series B Dividend Reference Date; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply (a) to the declaration and payment, on shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends rights, of dividends payable solely in shares of stock of any class of shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or, (b) to the acquisition of any shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights through application of the proceeds of the issue and sale of any class of any shares ranking junior to, or on a parity, with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends rights sold at or about the time of such acquisition.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation available for payment and distribution to shareholders are insufficient to make payment in full, as hereinabove provided, to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of all other shares of all classes or series of stock which rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, payment shall be made to such holders ratably in accordance with the liquidation value of shares hold by them, respectively.

The Corporation shall have the right at any time to redeem the Series B Shares, or any number of shares thereof, issued and outstanding, at any time by paying to the holders thereof the Series B Liquidation Value per Series B Share. The Board of Directors shall have the full power and discretion to select from the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock particular Series B Shares for redemption. In all instances, the Board of Directors shall have complete authority to determine and take all necessary action to effect the cancellation of the certificates representing such Series B Shares.

Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Secretary of the Corporation to holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their addresses as they shall appear on the records of the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall have the power to the extent permitted by law to determine the source of funds to be used for redeeming such stock. 5. CONVERSION. A. Right to Convert. Each Series B Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such Series B Share, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. B. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each Series B Share shall automatically be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, at a public offering price (prior to underwriters' discounts and expenses) equal to or exceeding $4.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or to any selling shareholders (after deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Corporation's counsel) of which exceed $10,000,000. C. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. (i) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series B Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the shares being converted. 4 EXHIBIT A (ii) No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward. (iii) If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "Organic Change") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. (iv) The holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a 5 EXHIBIT A certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation, upon written order and at its own expense, shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. (vi) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, at its option either (i) adjust the fractional interest by payment to the holder of the converted Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the then current market value of the fractional interest or (ii) issue nondividend bearing and nonvoting scrip certificates for fractions of a share which would otherwise be issuable, in form and containing terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, and exchangeable, within the period following the date of issue as the Board of Directors shall fix, together with other unexpired scrip certificates or like tenor aggregating one or more full shares, for share certificates representing the full share or shares. (vii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director and shareholder action), and in accordance with the laws of the State of California, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. 6.

Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock (a "Share") will accrue cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Share, whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share will be deemed to be the "Series B Original Issue Date" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Shares. B. DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES. To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each June and December, beginning June 15, 2004 (the "Dividend Reference Dates"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share then outstanding during the annual period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date will be added to the Liquidation Value of such Share and will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid. C. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends shall be paid by forwarding a check, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder (or in the case of joint holders, to the address of either such holder) of Series B Preferred Stock as shown on the books of the Corporation, unless such holder specifies another address by written notice to the Corporation. The forwarding of such check will satisfy all obligations of the Corporation with respect to such dividends, unless such check is not paid upon timely presentation. D. DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed among the holders of a Share so that an equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding Share. E. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. All shares of Common Stock shall rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends. EXHIBIT A So long as any Shares remain outstanding, no dividend shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, or other distribution made, on the shares of any class of stock ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, nor shall any shares of any class of stock (or series thereof) of the corporation ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to, or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all past Series B Dividend Reference Dates ending immediately prior to the date on which such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption or acquisition is to occur and the then current Series B Dividend Reference Date; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply (a) to the declaration and payment, on shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends rights, of dividends payable solely in shares of stock of any class of shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or, (b) to the acquisition of any shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights through application of the proceeds of the issue and sale of any class of any shares ranking junior to, or on a parity, with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends rights sold at or about the time of such acquisition.

VOTING. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, all voting as one class, posses voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes. In the exercise of voting powers, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting, or validating either of the following: (i) the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to or on parity with the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation or otherwise, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issue of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares; or 2 EXHIBIT A (ii) take any action so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock. 3.

Until payment to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of all amounts owing as aforesaid, or until money or other assets sufficient for such payment shall have been set apart from its other funds and assets for payment by the Corporation, for the account of such holders, so as to be and continue to be available for payment to such holders, no payment or distribution upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be made to holders of shares ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation available for payment and distribution to shareholders are insufficient to make payment in full, as hereinabove provided, to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of all other shares of all classes or series of stock which rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, payment shall be made to such holders ratably in accordance with the liquidation value of shares hold by them, respectively. For purposes of this Section 3, (i) any acquisition of the Corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation (other than a mere reincorporation transaction) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and shall entitle the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock to receive at the closing in cash, securities or other property amounts as specified in this Section 3. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 3 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 3 EXHIBIT A 4. REDEMPTION. The Corporation shall have the right at any time to redeem the Shares, or any number of shares thereof, issued and outstanding, at any time by paying to the holders thereof the Series B Liquidation Value per Share. The Board of Directors shall have the full power and discretion to select from the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock particular Shares for redemption. In all instances, the Board of Directors shall have complete authority to determine and take all necessary action to effect the cancellation of the certificates representing such Shares. Upon completion of such actions, the rights of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been redeemed shall in all respects cease, provided that such holders shall be entitled to receive the redemption price for such Shares. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Secretary of the Corporation to holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their addresses as they shall appear on the records of the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall have the power to the extent permitted by law to determine the source of funds to be used for redeeming such stock. 5. CONVERSION. A. RIGHT TO CONVERT. Each Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such Share, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. B. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each Share shall automatically be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, at a public offering price (prior to underwriters' discounts and expenses) equal to or exceeding $4.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or to any selling shareholders (after deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Corporation's counsel) of which exceed $10,000,000. C. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. (i) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series B Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the shares being converted. 4 EXHIBIT A (ii) No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward. (iii) If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "Organic Change") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares or stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. (iv) The holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a 5 EXHIBIT A certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation, upon written order and at its own expense, shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. (vi) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, at its option either (i) adjust the fractional interest by payment to the holder of the converted Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the then current market value of the fractional interest or (ii) issue nondividend bearing and nonvoting scrip certificates for fractions of a share which would otherwise be issuable, in form and containing terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, and exchangeable, within the period following the date of issue as the Board of Directors shall fix, together with other unexpired scrip certificates or like tenor aggregating one or more full shares, for share certificates representing the full share or shares. (vii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director and shareholder action), and in accordance with the laws of the State of California, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. 6. FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE. The Shares, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 7. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. A. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. So long as any shares of Series B 6 EXHIBIT A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without obtaining approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock: (i) Authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any other equity security (including any security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security) on parity with, or senior to, the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or liquidation preferences; (ii) Redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any of the Common Stock otherwise than as permitted herein; (iii) Effect any sale, lease, assignment, transfer, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation, unless the Corporation shall be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (iv) Effect any reclassification or other change of any of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock, or any recapitalization.

Each share shall automatically be 3 EXHIBIT A converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, at a public offering price (prior to underwriters' discounts and expenses) equal to or exceeding $4.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or to any selling shareholders (after deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Corporation's counsel) of which exceed $10,000,000. C. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. (i) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series A Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the shares being converted. (ii) No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward, (iii) If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "Organic Change") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of 4 EXHIBIT A the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. (iv) In the event the Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Threshold Amount (as defined below), then and in such event, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to reflect such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock by multiplying the Threshold Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase for the Threshold Amount per share, and the denominator of which shall be number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all Convertible Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance and any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised immediately prior to such issuance (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Securities, or outstanding options, warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible securities, solely as a result of the adjustment of the conversion ratio for the Series A Preferred Stock resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment. The "Threshold Amount" shall initially be $1.25 and shall be adjusted from time to time commensurately with each change in the conversion ratio, as initially specified in Section 4(A), including without limitation, changes contemplated under Section 4(C)(i), so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. (v) The holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed 5 EXHIBIT A for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation, upon written order and at its own expense, shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. (vi) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, at its option either (i) adjust the fractional interest by payment to the holder of the converted Series A Preferred Stock in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the then current market value of the fractional interest or (ii) issue nondividend bearing and nonvoting scrip certificates for fractions of a share which would otherwise be issuable, in form and containing terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, and exchangeable, within the period following the date of issue as the Board of Directors shall fix, together with other unexpired scrip certificates or like tenor aggregating one or more full shares, for share certificates representing the full share or shares. (vii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director and shareholder action), and in accordance with the laws of the State of California, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. 5. FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 6 EXHIBIT A 6. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. A. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without obtaining approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all other shares ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock: (i) Authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any other equity security (including any security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security) on parity with, or senior to, the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or liquidation preferences; (ii) Redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any of the Common Stock otherwise than as permitted herein; (iii) Effect any sale, lease, assignment, transfer, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation, unless the Corporation shall be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (iv) Effect any reclassification or other change of any of the Corporation's outstanding capital stock, or any recapitalization.

DIVIDENDS. A. GENERAL OBLIGATION. When and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of California, the Corporation will pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock (a "Share") will accrue cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Share, whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share will be deemed to be the "Series B Original Issue Date" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Shares. B. DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES. To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each June and December, beginning June 15, 2004 (the "Dividend Reference Dates"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share then outstanding during the annual period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date will be added to the Liquidation Value of such Share and will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid. C. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends shall be paid by forwarding a check, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder (or in the case of joint holders, to the address of either such holder) of Series B Preferred Stock as shown on the books of the Corporation, unless such holder specifies another address by written notice to the Corporation. The forwarding of such check will satisfy all obligations of the Corporation with respect to such dividends, unless such check is not paid upon timely presentation. D. DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed among the holders of a Share so that an equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding Share. E. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. All shares of Common Stock shall rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends. EXHIBIT A So long as any Shares remain outstanding, no dividend shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, or other distribution made, on the shares of any class of stock ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, nor shall any shares of any class of stock (or series thereof) of the corporation ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to, or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all past Series B Dividend Reference Dates ending immediately prior to the date on which such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption or acquisition is to occur and the then current Series B Dividend Reference Date; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply (a) to the declaration and payment, on shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends rights, of dividends payable solely in shares of stock of any class of shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or, (b) to the acquisition of any shares ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights through application of the proceeds of the issue and sale of any class of any shares ranking junior to, or on a parity, with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends rights sold at or about the time of such acquisition. No dividends shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, or other distribution made on any shares of any class of stock (or series thereof) of the Corporation ranking, as to dividend rights, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock for any dividend period unless, at the same time, a like proportion of dividends for the same or similar dividend period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rate fixed therefore, shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, on all shares of Series B Preferred Stock. 2. VOTING. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, all voting as one class, posses voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes. In the exercise of voting powers, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting as one class, at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting, or validating either of the following: (i) the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to or on parity with the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation or otherwise, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issue of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares; or 2 EXHIBIT A (ii) take any action so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock. 3. LIQUIDATION. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders, after payment in full to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock an amount per share equal to, but no more than, the Series A Liquidation Value (as hereinafter defined), and after payment in full of all amounts owing to the holders of all shares of all classes or series of stock having rights senior to the Series B Preferred Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, an amount per share equal to, but no more than, the Series B Liquidation Value (as hereinafter defined). Until payment to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of all amounts owing as aforesaid, or until money or other assets sufficient for such payment shall have been set apart from its other funds and assets for payment by the Corporation, for the account of such holders, so as to be and continue to be available for payment to such holders, no payment or distribution upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be made to holders of shares ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Common Stock shall be junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or liquidation or winding up of the Corporation. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the right to receive payment or distribution equal to the Series A Liquidation Value upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation available for payment and distribution to shareholders are insufficient to make payment in full, as hereinabove provided, to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of all other shares of all classes or series of stock which rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, payment shall be made to such holders ratably in accordance with the liquidation value of shares hold by them, respectively. For purposes of this Section 3, (i) any acquisition of the Corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation (other than a mere reincorporation transaction) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and shall entitle the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock to receive at the closing in cash, securities or other property amounts as specified in this Section 3. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 3 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 3 EXHIBIT A 4. REDEMPTION. The Corporation shall have the right at any time to redeem the Shares, or any number of shares thereof, issued and outstanding, at any time by paying to the holders thereof the Series B Liquidation Value per Share. The Board of Directors shall have the full power and discretion to select from the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock particular Shares for redemption. In all instances, the Board of Directors shall have complete authority to determine and take all necessary action to effect the cancellation of the certificates representing such Shares. Upon completion of such actions, the rights of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have been redeemed shall in all respects cease, provided that such holders shall be entitled to receive the redemption price for such Shares. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Secretary of the Corporation to holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at their addresses as they shall appear on the records of the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall have the power to the extent permitted by law to determine the source of funds to be used for redeeming such stock. 5. CONVERSION. A. RIGHT TO CONVERT. Each Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such Share, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. B. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each Share shall automatically be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, at a public offering price (prior to underwriters' discounts and expenses) equal to or exceeding $4.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or to any selling shareholders (after deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Corporation's counsel) of which exceed $10,000,000. C. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. (i) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series B Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the shares being converted. 4 EXHIBIT A (ii) No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward. (iii) If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "Organic Change") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. (iv) The holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or 5 EXHIBIT A certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation, upon written order and at its own expense, shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. (vi) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, at its option either (i) adjust the fractional interest by payment to the holder of the converted Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the then current market value of the fractional interest or (ii) issue nondividend bearing and nonvoting scrip certificates for fractions of a share which would otherwise be issuable, in form and containing terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, and exchangeable, within the period following the date of issue as the Board of Directors shall fix, together with other unexpired scrip certificates or like tenor aggregating one or more full shares, for share certificates representing the full share or shares.

DIVIDENDS. A. GENERAL OBLIGATION. When and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of California, the Corporation will pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of Series C Preferred Stock (a "SERIES C SHARE") will accrue cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Series C Share, whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Series C Share will be deemed to be the "ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Series C Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Series C Shares. B. DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES. To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each June and December, beginning December 15, 2004 (the "DIVIDEND REFERENCE DATES"), all dividends which have accrued on each Series C Share then outstanding during the annual period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date will be added to the Liquidation Value of such Series C Share and will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid. C. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends shall be paid by forwarding a check, postage prepaid, to the address of each such holder (or in the case of joint holders, to the address of either such holder) of Series C Preferred Stock as shown on the books of the Corporation, unless such holder specifies another address by written notice to the Corporation. The forwarding of such check will satisfy all obligations of the Corporation with respect to such dividends, unless such check is not paid upon timely presentation. D. DISTRIBUTION OF PARTIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed among the holders of a Series C Share so that an equal amount will be paid with respect to each outstanding Series C Share. E. OTHER DIVIDENDS. So long as any Series C Shares remain outstanding, no dividend shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, or other distribution made, on the shares of any class of stock ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to the Series C Preferred Stock, nor shall any shares of any class of stock (or series thereof) of the Corporation ranking, as to dividend rights, junior to, or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock, be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall have been declared and paid, or declared and set apart for payment, for all past Series C Dividend Reference Dates ending immediately prior to the date on which such dividend, distribution, EXHIBIT A purchase, redemption or acquisition is to occur and the then current Series C Dividend Reference Date: provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply (a) to the declaration and payment, on shares ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends rights, of dividends payable solely in shares of stock of any class of shares ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or, (b) to the acquisition of any shares ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividend rights through application of the proceeds of the issue and sale of any class of any shares ranking junior to, or on a parity, with the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends rights sold at or about the time of such acquisition. No dividends shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, or other distribution made on any shares of any class of stock (or series thereof) of the Corporation ranking, as to dividend rights, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock for any dividend period unless, at the same time, a like proportion of dividends for the same or similar dividend period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rate fixed therefore, shall be paid or declared, or declared and set apart for payment, on all Series C Shares. F. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDEND PAYMENTS. All shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall, rank junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall rank on parity to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends. 2. VOTING. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall, together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, all voting as one class, possess voting power for the election of directors and for all other purposes. In the exercise of voting powers, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series C Shares at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of Series C Shares shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating either of the following: (i) the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to or on parity with the Series C Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation or otherwise, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issue of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares; or (ii) take any action so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights or privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock. 3.

The Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or liquidation or winding up of the Corporation. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or liquidation or winding up of the Corporation. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the Corporation available for payment and distribution to shareholders are insufficient to make payment in full, as hereinabove provided, to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of all other shares of all classes or series of stock which rank on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, payment shall be made to such holders ratably in accordance with the liquidation value of shares held by them, respectively. The Corporation will mail written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment dates stated therein, to each person of record holding Series C Preferred Stock (by air mail if addressed outside the United States). (b) After payment to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Section 3(a) above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and all other holders of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to participate in such distribution in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then held by each thereof and the shares of Common Stock which each thereof then have the right to acquire upon conversion of the Series C Shares or such other shares of capital stock of the Corporation, as the case may be, then held by such holder. (c) For purposes of this Section 3,(i) any acquisition of the Corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation (other than a mere reincorporation transaction) or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and shall entitle the holders of Series C Preferred Stock to receive at the closing in cash, securities or other property (valued as provided in Section 3(d) below) amounts as specified in Sections 3(a) through 3(b) above. (d) Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 3 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or other property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 4. CONVERSION. 3 EXHIBIT A A. RIGHT TO CONVERT. Each Series C Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the issuance of such share, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. B. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each Series C Share shall automatically be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("SECURITIES ACT"), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, at a public offering price (prior to underwriters' discounts and expenses) equal to or exceeding $4.00 per share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or to any selling shareholders (after deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance, including without limitation fees of the Corporation's counsel) of which exceed $10,000,000. C. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. (i) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been increased or decreased since the initial subscription and payment for the Series C Preferred Stock by the holders thereof, by reason of any additional Common Stock issuance, split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation or other capital change or reorganization affecting the number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original conversion rights of the Series C Shares being converted. (ii) No adjustment in the conversion rate is required unless it would result in at least a one percent (1%) increase or decrease in the conversion rate, however, any adjustment not made is carried forward. (iii) If any capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or any sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another individual, partnership or corporation (collectively, any "ORGANIC CHANGE") is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding) will be made whereby each of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series C Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, appropriate provision will be made with respect to such holder's rights and interests to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 and Section 3 will thereafter be applicable in relation to any 4 EXHIBIT A shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor corporation or purchasing corporation is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the conversion ratio or price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, if the value so reflected is less than the conversion ratio or price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provision, such holder may be entitled to acquire. (iv) In the event the Corporation, at any time after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Threshold Amount (as defined below), then and in such event, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to reflect such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock by multiplying the Threshold Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase for the Threshold Amount per share, and the denominator of which shall be number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all Series C Shares and all Convertible Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance and any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or Convertible Securities had been fully exercised immediately prior to such issuance (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date, but not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to Series C Shares, Convertible Securities, or outstanding options, warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or Convertible Securities, solely as a result of the adjustment of the conversion ratio for the Series C Preferred Stock resulting from the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment. The "Threshold Amount" shall initially be $1.14 and shall be adjusted from time to time commensurately with each change in the conversion ratio, as initially specified in Section 4(A), including without limitation, changes contemplated under Section 4(C)(i), so as to preserve fairly and equitably, as far as reasonably possible, the original rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. 5 EXHIBIT A (v) The holder of any Series C Shares may exercise the conversion rights granted by this Section by delivering to the Corporation during regular business hours, the certificate or certificates for the Series C Shares to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such Series C Shares. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "CONVERSION DATE." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled together with a scrip certificate or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided hereunder. The holder shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of Series C Shares represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Corporation, upon written order and at its own expense, shall issue and deliver to the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, a new certificate covering the number of Series C Shares representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. (vi) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series C Shares. If more than one Series C Share shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series C Shares so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Series C Shares, the Corporation shall, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefor, at its option either (i) adjust the fractional interest by payment to the holder of the converted Series C Preferred Stock in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the then current market value of the fractional interest or (ii) issue nondividend bearing and nonvoting scrip certificates for fractions of a share which would otherwise be issuable, in form and containing terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors, and exchangeable, within the period following the date of issue as the Board of Directors shall fix, together with other unexpired scrip certificates or like tenor aggregating one or more full shares, for share certificates representing the full share or shares. (vii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all Series C Preferred Stock from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director and shareholder action), and in accordance with the laws of the State of California, increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the Series C Shares at the time outstanding. 5. FULLY PAID AND NONASSESSABLE. The Series C Shares, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 6 EXHIBIT A 6. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. A.

The affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present (provided that shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by law or by the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation and except as provided in the following sentence. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. SECTION 2.06 ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF Any shareholders' meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares represented either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 2.05 of these Bylaws. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted thereat, other than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken except that, when any meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which could have been transacted at the original meeting. SECTION 2.07 VOTING AT MEETINGS (A) The Shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote at any such meeting shall be the persons in whose name shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date determined in accordance with Section 2.08 of these Bylaws. (B) Voting of shares of the Corporation shall in all cases be subject to the provisions of Chapter 7 of the California General Corporation Law and to the following provisions: (1) subject to clause (8), below, shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator or custodian may be voted by such holder either in person or by proxy, without transfer of the shares into the holder's name, (2) subject to clause (8), below, shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares so held without a transfer of them into the trustee's name; 3 (3) shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into the receiver's name if authority to do so is contained in the order of the court by which such receiver was appointed; (4) subject to the provisions of Section 705 of the California General Corporation Law and of Section 2.09 of these Bylaws, and except where otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, a shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred; (5) shares standing in the name of a minor may be voted and the Corporation may treat all rights incident thereto as exercisable by the minor, in person or by proxy, whether or not the Corporation has notice, actual or constructive, of the minority, unless a guardian of the minor's property has been appointed and written notice of such appointment has been given to the Corporation; (6) shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxyholder as the bylaws of such other corporation may prescribe or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such other corporation may determine or, in the absence of such determination, by the chairman of the board, president or any vice president of such other corporation, or by any other person authorized to do so by the chairman of the board, president or any vice president of such other corporation. Shares which are purported to be voted or any proxy purported to be executed in the name of a corporation (whether or not any title of the person signing is indicated) shall be presumed to be voted or the proxy executed in accordance with the provisions of this clause, unless the contrary is shown; (7) shares of the Corporation owned by any subsidiary of the Corporation shall not be entitled to vote on any matter; (8) shares held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity, and shares of the Corporation held in a fiduciary capacity by any subsidiary of the Corporation, shall not be entitled to vote on any matter, except (i) to the extent that the settlor or beneficial owner possesses and exercises a right to vote or to give the Corporation binding instructions as to how to vote such shares and (ii) when there are one or more co-trustees who are not affected by the prohibition of this clause, in which case the shares may be voted by the co-trustee(s) as if it or they are the sole trustee; and (9) if shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a shareholder voting agreement or otherwise, or if two or more persons (including proxyholders) have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the 4 Corporation is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, such act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each fraction may vote the securities in question proportionately. If the instrument so filed or the registration of the shares shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even split for the purpose of the above shall be a majority or even split in interest. (C) Subject to the following sentence and to the provisions of Section 708 of the California General Corporation Law and except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, every shareholder entitled to vote at any election of directors may cumulate his votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which his shares are entitled, or distribute his votes on the same principle among as many candidates as he thinks fit. No shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes for any candidate or candidates pursuant to the preceding sentence unless such candidate or candidates' names have been placed in nomination before the voting and the shareholder has given notice, at the meeting and before the voting, of his intention to cumulate his votes. If any one shareholder has given such notice, then all shareholders may accumulate their votes for candidates in nomination. (D) Elections need not be by ballot; provided however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand made by a shareholder at the meeting and before the voting begins. (E) In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares are elected. SECTION 2.08 RECORD DATE (A) The Board of Directors may fix a time in the future as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any meeting of shareholders or entitled to receive any dividend or distribution, or any allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares. The record date so fixed shall not be more than sixty (60) nor fewer than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days before any other action. When a record date is so fixed, only shareholders of 5 record on that date shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting, or to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books of the Corporation after the record date. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of the shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date or the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting. (B) If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date, then the record date for determining which shareholders are entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining shareholders for any purpose other than those set forth in this Section and Section 2.12 of these Bylaws shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolutions relating thereto, or on the 60th day before the date of such other action, whichever is later. SECTION 2.09 PROXIES (A) Every person entitled to vote or to execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy executed by such person or his duly authorized agent and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless provided in the proxy. Every proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it before the vote pursuant thereto, except as otherwise provided in this Section or these Bylaws. Revocation may be effected by a writing delivered to the Corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person who executed the proxy. The dates contained on the forms of proxy presumptively determine the order of execution, regardless of the postmarked date on the envelopes in which they are mailed. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker unless, before the vote is counted, written notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Corporation. (B) Except when other provision shall have been made by written agreement between the parties, the record holder of shares held by a pledgee or otherwise as security or belonging to another shall issue to the pledgor or to the owner of such shares, upon demand therefore and payment of necessary expenses thereof, a proxy to vote or take other action. (C) A proxy stating that it is irrevocable is irrevocable for the period specified therein when it is held by any of the following or a nominee of any of the following: (1) a pledgee; (2) a person who has bought or agreed to buy or holds an option to buy the shares of a person who has sold a portion of such person's shares in the Corporation to the maker of the proxy; 6 (3) a creditor or creditors of the Corporation or the shareholder who extended or continued credit to the Corporation or the shareholder in consideration of the proxy, if the proxy states that it was given in consideration of such extension or continuation of credit and the name of the person extending or continuing credit; (4) a person who has contracted to perform services as an employee of the Corporation, if a proxy is required by the contract of employment and if the proxy states that it was given in consideration of such contract of employment, the name of the employee and the period of employment contracted for; (5) a person designated by or under an agreement under Section 706 of the California General Corporation Law; or (6) a beneficiary of a trust with respect to shares held by the trust. (D) Notwithstanding the period of irrevocability specified, the proxy becomes revocable when the pledge is redeemed, the option or the agreement to buy is terminated or the seller no longer owns any shares of the Corporation or dies, the debt of the Corporation or the shareholder is paid, or the period of employment provided for in the contract of employment has terminated, the agreement under Section 706 has terminated, or the person ceases to be a beneficiary of the trust. In addition to the foregoing clauses (1) through (5), a proxy may be made irrevocable (notwithstanding subsection (C)) if it is given to secure the performance of a duty or to protect a title, either legal or equitable, until the happening of events which, by its terms, discharge the obligations secured by it. (E) A proxy may be revoked, notwithstanding a provision making it irrevocable, by a buyer of shares without knowledge of the existence of the provision unless the existence of the proxy and its irrevocability appear on the certificate representing such shares, or in the case of uncertificated securities, on the initial transaction statement and written statements. SECTION 2.10 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION (A) In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint inspectors of election to act at such meeting and any adjournment thereof. If the Board of Directors does not appoint inspectors of election, then the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or his proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the majority of shares present shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the Board of Directors before the meeting, or at the meeting by the chairman. (B) The inspectors of election, impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability, and as expeditiously as is practical, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the 7 authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote, shall count and tabulate all votes or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. If there are three inspectors of election the decision, act or certificate of a majority of them shall be effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. On request of the chairman of the meeting or of any shareholder or his proxy, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them and shall execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the facts stated therein. SECTION 2.11 CONSENT OF ABSENTEES The transactions of any meeting of the shareholders, however called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice, except as provided in subdivision (f) of Section 601 of the California General Corporation Law. SECTION 2.12 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING Subject to Section 603 of the California General Corporation Law, any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting or without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action in a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Notwithstanding the previous sentence and subject to Section 3.05 of these Bylaws, directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. Unless a record date for voting purposes has been fixed as provided in Section 2.08 of these Bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent pursuant to this Section, when no action has been taken by the Board of Directors, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given. SECTION 2.13 SHAREHOLDER'S RIGHT TO INSPECT CORPORATE RECORDS (A) The accounting books and records and minutes of proceedings of the shareholders, Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be open to inspection and copying upon the written demand on the Corporation of any shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate at any reasonable time during usual business hours, for a purpose reasonably related to such holder's interest as a shareholder or as a holder of such voting trust certificate. 8 (B) The record of shareholders shall also be open to inspection and copying by any shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate at any time during usual business hours upon written demand on the Corporation, for a purpose reasonably related to such holder's interests as a shareholder or holder of a voting trust certificate. (C) Any inspection and copying under this Section may be made in person or by an agent or attorney, and the right to inspect and copy includes the right to make extracts. SECTION 2.14 INSPECTION OF BYLAWS The Corporation shall keep at its principal executive office, if in the State of California, and if not, at its principal business office in the State of California, the original or a copy of the Bylaws, as amended or otherwise altered to date, certified by the Secretary, which shall be open to inspection by the shareholders at all reasonable times during office hours. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS SECTION 3.01 POWERS Subject to the limitation of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, of these Bylaws, and of the California General Corporation Law relating to action required to be approved by the shareholders or the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed, and all corporate powers shall be exercised, by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the Corporation to a management company or other person, provided that the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board of Directors. Without prejudice to these general powers, but subject to the same provisions, it is hereby expressly declared that the Board shall have the following powers in addition to the other powers enumerated in these Bylaws: (a) To select and remove all of the officers, agents, and employees of the Corporation, prescribe powers and duties for them not inconsistent with law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws, fix their compensation, and require from them security for faithful service; (b) To conduct, manage, and control the affairs and business of the Corporation and to make rules and regulations therefore not inconsistent with law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws, as they may deem best; (c) To adopt, make and use a corporate seal, and to prescribe the forms of certificates of stock, and to alter the form of seal and stock certificates from time to time as they may deem best; 9 (d) To authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the Corporation from time to time, upon such terms and for such consideration as may be lawful; and (e) To borrow money and incur indebtedness for the purposes of the Corporation, and to cause to be executed and delivered therefor, in the corporate name, promissory notes, bonds, debentures, deeds of trust, mortgages, pledges, hypothecations, or other evidences of debt and security therefor. SECTION 3.02 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS The Corporation shall have no fewer than three (3) nor more than five (5) directors; the exact number to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by approval of the outstanding shares or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors, and such exact number shall be three (3) until otherwise determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before the issuance of any shares and so long as the Corporation has only one shareholder, the number of directors may be one or two, and so long as the Corporation has two shareholders, the number may be two. As used in these Bylaws, the term "whole Board" means the number of directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies. After the issuance of shares, Bylaws specifying or changing the maximum or minimum number of directors or changing from a variable to a fixed board or vice versa may be adopted only by approval of the outstanding shares. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before the expiration of his or her term of office. SECTION 3.03 ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE The directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders, but if any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are not elected thereat, then the directors may be elected at any special meeting of shareholders held for that purpose. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting and until a successor has been elected and qualified. SECTION 3.04 VACANCIES (A) A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in case of death, resignation or removal of any director, or if the authorized number of directors is increased, or if the shareholders fail, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting. (B) The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court, convicted of a felony, or if within sixty (60) days after notice of his election, he does not accept the office either in writing or by attending a meeting of the Board of Directors. Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office until his successor is elected at an annual or a special meeting of the shareholders. The shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill 10 any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors. Any such election by written consent other than to fill a vacancy created by removal shall require the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. If, after the filling of any vacancy by the directors, the directors then in office who have been elected by the shareholders constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, then any holder or holders of an aggregate of five percent or more of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors may call a special meeting of shareholders to elect the entire Board of Directors. The term of office of any director not elected by the shareholders shall terminate upon such election of a successor. (C) Any director may resign, effective upon giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors of the Corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation. If the resignation is effective at a future time, then a successor may be elected to take office when the resignation becomes effective. SECTION 3.05 REMOVAL (A) Any or all of the directors may be removed without cause if such removal is approved by the outstanding shares of the Corporation, subject to the following; (1) no director may be removed (unless the entire Board of Directors is removed) when the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of the director's most recent election were then being elected; and (2) when, by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of any class or series, voting as a class or series, are entitled to elect one or more directors, any director so elected may be removed only by the applicable vote of the holders of the shares of that class or series. (B) No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before the expiration of his term of office. SECTION 3.06 PLACE OF MEETING Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at any place within or without the State of California which has been designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or by written consent of all members of the Board of Directors given either before or after the meeting and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. In the absence of such designation regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held either at a place so designated or at the principal executive office. 11 SECTION 3.07 MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held on the day of the annual meeting of shareholders after adjournment of such meeting, if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on a date fixed by the Board of Directors. No notice shall be required for any such regular meeting of the board.

Any such notice shall be addressed or delivered to each director at his address as it is shown upon the records of the Corporation or as may have been given to the Corporation by the director for purposes of notice or, if such address is not shown on such records or is not readily ascertainable, then at the place where the meetings of the directors are regularly held. (C) Notice by mail shall be deemed to have been given at the time written notice is deposited in the United States mail, postage pre-paid. Any other written notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when it is personally delivered to the recipient or delivered to a common carrier for transmission, or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means, to the recipient. Oral notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time it is communicated, in person or by telephone or wireless, to the recipient or a person at the office of the recipient who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the recipient. SECTION 3.09 WAIVER OF NOTICE The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. SECTION 3.10 NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn any meeting to another time and place. Notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting 12 need not be given to absent directors if the time and place are fixed at the meeting adjourned, except as provided in the next sentence. If the meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of any adjournment to another time or place shall be given before the adjourned meeting to the directors who are not present at the time of the adjournment, SECTION 3.11 QUORUM A majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a quorum of the Board of Directors for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as hereinafter provided. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws or in the California General Corporation Law, every act or decision done or made by the majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting. SECTION 3.12 PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone or similar communications equipment, so long as all members participating in such a meeting can hear one another. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this section constitutes presence in person at such meeting. SECTION 3.13 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING Any action under any provision of the California General Corporation Law required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors individually or collectively consent in writing to such action. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors. SECTION 3.14 FEES AND COMPENSATION Each director of the Corporation who is not a salaried officer or employee of the Corporation, or of a subsidiary of the Corporation, shall receive such allowances for serving as a director and such fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or the Investment Committee or any other committee appointed by the board as the board may from time to time determine.

SECTION 5.02 INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS BY THIRD PARTIES The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. SECTION 5.03 INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action by, or in the right of, the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if he acted in good faith, in a manner he believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. No indemnification shall be made under this Section: 17 (A) in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation in the performance of his duty to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action was brought shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which such court shall determine; (B) of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval; or (C) of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval. SECTION 5.04 INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES To the extent that an agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits in any proceeding referred to in Section 5.02 or 5.03 of these Bylaws or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against his expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. SECTION 5.05 REQUIRED DETERMINATIONS Except as provided in Section 5.04 of these Bylaws, any indemnification under this Article shall be made by the Corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper under the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.02 or 5.03 of these Bylaws by: (A) a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding; (B) approval of the shareholders, with the shares owned by the person to be indemnified not being entitled to vote thereon; or (C) the court in which such proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the Corporation or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney or other person is opposed by the Corporation. SECTION 5.06 ADVANCE OF EXPENSES Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the Corporation before the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to repay such amount unless it shall be determined ultimately that the agent is entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article. 18 SECTION 5.07 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION The indemnification authorized by this Article shall not be exclusive of any additional rights to indemnification for breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders, while acting in the capacity of a director or officer of the Corporation, to the extent the additional rights to indemnification are authorized in a provision of the articles adopted pursuant to Section 204(a)(11) of the California General Corporation Law. The indemnification provided by this Article for acts, omissions, or transactions while acting in the capacity of, or while serving as, a director, or officer of the corporation, but not involving any breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders, shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, to the extent the additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation. A provision in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation authorizing indemnification "in excess of that otherwise permitted by Section 317" or "to the fullest extent permissible under California law," or a substantial equivalent, shall be construed to be both a provision for additional indemnification for breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders as referred to in, and with the limitations required by, Section 204(a)(11) of the California General Corporation Law, and a provision for additional indemnification as referred to in Section 317(g) of the California General Corporation Law. The rights to indemnity under this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the person. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than the directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise. SECTION 5.08 FORMS OF INDEMNIFICATION NOT PERMITTED No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article, except as provided in Section 6.04 or Section 6.05(C) of these Bylaws in any circumstance where it appears: (A) that it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Incorporation, Bylaws, a resolution of the Board of Directors or shareholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (B) that it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement. SECTION 5.09 INSURANCE The Corporation shall have the power to buy and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent of the Corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agents status as such whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against such liability under the provisions of this Article. 19 ARTICLE VI STOCK AND STOCK PROVISIONS SECTION 6.01 STOCK The amount of authorized stock of the Corporation shall consist of 10,000,000 shares of no par value common stock.

The monthly report shall contain a balance sheet as of the end of that calendar month and an income statement and statement of changes in financial position for that calendar month, accompanied by a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the Corporation.

If the Company shall at any time pay or make any dividend or other distribution upon the Stock payable in securities of another corporation or other property (except money or Stock), a proportionate part of such securities or other property shall be set aside and delivered to any Participant then holding an Award for the particular type of Stock for which the dividend or other distribution was made, upon exercise thereof in the case of Options, and the vesting thereof in the case of other Awards. Prior to the time that any such securities or other property are delivered to a Participant in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall be the owner of such securities or other property and shall have the right to vote the securities, receive any dividends payable on such securities, and in all other respects shall be treated as the owner. If securities or other property which have been set aside by the Company in accordance with this Section are not delivered to a Participant because an Award is not exercised or otherwise vested, then such securities or other property shall remain the property of the Company and shall be dealt with by the Company as it shall determine in its sole discretion. 4.5 OTHER CHANGES IN STOCK. In the event there shall be any change, other than as specified in Sections 4.3 and 4.4, in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock or of any stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Incentive Plan Committee shall in its discretion determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of Shares subject to outstanding 4 Awards or which have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan but are not then subject to an Award, then such adjustments shall be made by the Incentive Plan Committee and shall be effective for all purposes of the Plan and on each outstanding Award that involves the particular type of stock for which a change was effected. 4.6 RIGHTS TO SUBSCRIBE. If the Company shall at any time grant to the holders of its Stock rights to subscribe pro rata for additional shares thereof or for any other securities of the Company or of any other corporation, there shall be reserved with respect to the Shares then subject to an Award held by any Participant of the particular class of Stock involved, the Stock or other securities which the Participant would have been entitled to subscribe for if immediately prior to such grant the Participant had exercised his entire Option, or otherwise vested in his entire Award. If, upon exercise of any such Option or the vesting of any other Award, the Participant subscribes for the additional Stock or other securities, the Participant shall pay to the Company the price that is payable by the Participant for such Stock or other securities. 4.7 GENERAL ADJUSTMENT RULES. If any adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 4 shall result in the creation of a fractional Share under any Award, the Company shall, in lieu of selling or otherwise issuing such fractional Share, pay to the Participant a cash sum in an amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the fractional Share would otherwise have been issued. In the case of any such substitution or adjustment affecting an Option, the total Option Price for the shares of Stock then subject to an Option shall remain unchanged but the Option Price per share under each such Option shall be equitably adjusted by the Incentive Plan Committee to reflect the greater or lesser number of shares of Stock or other securities into which the Stock subject to the Option may have been changed. 4.8 DETERMINATION BY INCENTIVE PLAN COMMITTEE, ETC. Adjustments under this Section 4 shall be made by the Incentive Plan Committee, whose determinations with regard thereto shall be final and binding upon all parties thereto. SECTION 5 REORGANIZATION OR LIQUIDATION In the event that the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding Shares), or if all or substantially all of the assets or more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company is acquired by any other corporation, business entity or person (other than a sale or conveyance in which the Company continues as a holding company of an entity or entities that conduct the business or businesses formerly conducted by the Company), or in case of a reorganization (other than a reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or liquidation of the Company, and if the provisions of Section 11 do not apply, the Incentive 5 Plan Committee, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall have the power and discretion to prescribe the terms and conditions for the exercise of, or modification of, any outstanding Awards granted hereunder. By way of illustration, and not by way of limitation, the Incentive Plan Committee may provide for the complete or partial acceleration of the dates of exercise of the Options, or may provide that such Options will be exchanged or converted into options to acquire securities of the surviving or acquiring corporation, or may provide for a payment or distribution in respect of outstanding Options (or the portion thereof that is currently exercisable) in cancellation thereof. The Incentive Plan Committee may remove restrictions on Restricted Stock and may modify the performance requirements for any other Awards. The Incentive Plan Committee may provide that Stock or other Awards granted hereunder must be exercised in connection with the closing of such transaction, and that if not so exercised such Awards will expire. Any such determinations by the Incentive Plan Committee may be made generally with respect to all Participants, or may be made on a case-by-case basis with respect to particular Participants. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to any transaction undertaken for the purpose of reincorporating the Company under the laws of another jurisdiction, if such transaction does not materially affect the beneficial ownership of the Company's capital stock. SECTION 6 PARTICIPATION Participants in the Plan shall be those Eligible Employees or Consultants who, in the judgment of the Incentive Plan Committee, are performing, or during the term of their incentive arrangement will perform, important services in the management, operation and development of the Company, and significantly contribute, or are expected to significantly contribute, to the achievement of long-term corporate economic objectives. Participants may be granted from time to time one or more Awards; provided, however, that the grant of each such Award shall be separately approved by the Incentive Plan Committee, and receipt of one such Award shall not result in automatic receipt of any other Award, and written notice shall be given to such person, specifying the terms, conditions, rights and duties related thereto; and further provided that Incentive Stock Options shall not be granted to Consultants or to Eligible Employees who are not permitted to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Internal Revenue Code. Each Participant shall enter into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the Incentive Plan Committee shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of the Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties. Awards shall be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant resolution of the Incentive Plan Committee, which date shall be the date of any related agreement with the Participant. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and any such agreement entered into hereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 6 SECTION 7 STOCK OPTIONS 7.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS. Coincident with the following designation for participation in the Plan, a Participant may be granted one or more Options. The Incentive Plan Committee in its sole discretion shall designate whether an Option is to be considered an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Option. The Incentive Plan Committee may grant both an Incentive Stock Option and a Non-Statutory Option to the same Participant at the same time or at different times. Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Options, whether granted at the same or different times, shall be deemed to have been awarded in separate grants, shall be clearly identified, and in no event shall the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any other Option or affect the number of Shares for which any other Option may be exercised. 7.2 OPTION AGREEMENTS. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement which shall be entered into by the Company and the Participant to whom the Option is granted (the "Option Holder"), and which shall contain the following terms and conditions, as well as such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith, as the Incentive Plan Committee may consider appropriate in each case. (a) Number of Shares. Each stock option agreement shall state that it covers a specified number of Shares, as determined by the Incentive Plan Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Option Holder in any calendar year, under the Plan or otherwise, shall not exceed $100,000. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time an Option is granted. (b) Price. The price at which each Share covered by an Option may be purchased shall be determined in each case by the Incentive Plan Committee and set forth in the stock option agreement, but in no event shall the Option Price for each Share covered by an Incentive Stock Option be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided that the Option Price for each Share covered by a Non-Statutory Option may be granted at any price less than Fair Market Value, in the sole discretion of the Incentive Plan Committee. In addition, the Option Price for each Share covered by an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Eligible Employee who then owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company must be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option on the date the Option is granted. (c) Duration of Options. Each stock option agreement shall state the period of time, determined by the Incentive Plan Committee, within which the Option may be exercised by the Option Holder (the "Option Period"). The Option Period must expire, in all cases, not more than 10 years from the date an Option is granted; provided, however, that the Option Period of an Option granted to an Eligible Employee or Consultant who then owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the 7 Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company must expire not more than five years from the date such an Option is granted. Each stock option agreement shall also state the periods of time, if any, as determined by the Incentive Plan Committee, when incremental portions of each Option shall vest. Except as provided in Sections 5 and 10, no portion of any Option shall vest before six months after the date of grant of the Option. (d) Termination of Employment, Death, Disability, Etc. Except as otherwise determined by the Incentive Plan Committee, each stock option agreement shall provide as follows with respect to the exercise of the Option upon termination of the employment or the death of the Option Holder: (i) If the employment of the Option Holder is terminated within the Option Period for cause, as determined by the Company, the Option shall thereafter be void for all purposes. As used in this subsection 7.2(d), "cause" shall mean a gross violation, as determined by the Company, of the Company's established policies and procedures. The effect of this subsection 7.2(d)(i) shall be limited to determining the consequences of a termination, and nothing in this subsection 7.2(d)(i) shall restrict or otherwise interfere with the Company's discretion with respect to the termination of any employee. (ii) If the Option Holder terminates his employment with the Company in a manner determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, to constitute retirement (which determination shall be communicated to the Option Holder within 10 days of such termination), the Option may be exercised by the Option Holder, or in the case of death by the persons specified in subsection (iii) of this subsection 7.2(d), within three months following his or her retirement if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or within twelve months following his or her retirement if the Option is a Non-Statutory Stock Option (provided in each case that such exercise must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter. In any such case, the Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable on or before the date of the Option Holder's termination of employment. (iii) If the Option Holder dies, or if the Option Holder becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Internal Revenue Code), during the Option Period while still employed, or within the three-month period referred to in (iv) below, or within the three or 12-month period referred to in (ii) above, the Option may be exercised by those entitled to do so under the Option Holder's will or by the laws of descent and distribution within 12 months following the Option Holder's death or disability, but not thereafter. In any such case, the Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable on or before the date of the Option Holder's death or disability. (iv) If the employment of the Option Holder by the Company is terminated (which for this purpose means that the Option Holder is no longer employed by the Company) within the Option Period for any reason other than cause, retirement as provided in (ii) above, disability or the Option Holder's death, the Option may be exercised by the Option Holder within three months following the date of such termination (provided that such exercise 8 must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter. In any such case, the Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable on or before the date of termination of employment. (e) Transferability. Each stock option agreement shall provide that the Option granted therein is not transferable by the Option Holder except by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, and that such Option is exercisable during the Option Holder's lifetime only by him or her, or in the event of disability or incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative. (f) Exercise, Payments, Etc. (i) Each stock option agreement shall provide that the method for exercising the Option granted therein shall be by delivery to the Corporate Secretary of the Company of written notice specifying the number of Shares with respect to which such Option is exercised (which must be in an amount evenly divisible by 100) and payment of the Option Price. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the Incentive Plan Committee and shall specify the particular Option (or portion thereof) which is being exercised and the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. The exercise of the Option shall be deemed effective upon receipt of such notice by the Corporate Secretary and payment to the Company. The purchase of such Stock shall take place at the principal offices of the Company upon delivery of such notice, at which time the purchase price of the Stock shall be paid in full by any of the methods or any combination of the methods set forth in (ii) below. A properly executed certificate or certificates representing the Stock shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder. If certificates representing Stock are used to pay all or part of the Option Price, separate certificates for the same number of shares of Stock shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder representing each certificate used to pay the Option Price, and an additional certificate shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder representing the additional shares, in excess of the Option Price, to which the Option Holder is entitled as a result of the exercise of the Option. (ii) The exercise price shall be paid by any of the following methods or any combination of the following methods: (A) in cash; (B) by cashier's check payable to the order of the Company; (C) by delivery to the Company of certificates representing the number of Shares then owned by the Option Holder, the Fair Market Value of which equals the purchase price of the Stock purchased pursuant to the Option, properly endorsed for transfer to the Company; provided however, that Shares used for this purpose must have been held by the Option Holder for such minimum period of time as may be established from time 9 to time by the Incentive Plan Committee; for purposes of this Plan, the Fair Market Value of any Shares delivered in payment of the purchase price upon exercise of the Option shall be the Fair Market Value as of the exercise date; the exercise date shall be the day the delivery of the certificates for the Stock used as payment of the Option Price; or (D) by delivery to the Company of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to the Company promptly the amount of the proceeds of the sale of all or a portion of the Stock or of a loan from the broker to the Option Holder necessary to pay the exercise price. (iii) In the discretion of the Incentive Plan Committee, the Company may guaranty a third-party loan obtained by a Participant to pay part or all of the Option Price of the Shares provided that such loan or the Company's guaranty is secured by the Shares. (g) Date of Grant. An option shall be considered as having been granted on the date specified in the grant resolution of the Incentive Plan Committee. (h) Withholding. (A) Non-Statutory Options. Each stock option agreement covering Non-Statutory Options shall provide that, upon exercise of the Option, the Option Holder shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide for the amount of additional withholding required by applicable federal and state income tax laws, including payment of such taxes through delivery of Stock or by withholding Stock to be issued under the Option, as provided in Section 15. (B) Incentive Options. In the event that a Participant makes a disposition (as defined in Section 424(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of two years from the date on which the Incentive Stock Option was granted or prior to the expiration of one year from the date on which the Option was exercised, the Participant shall send written notice to the Company at its principal office in Irvine, California (Attention: Corporate Secretary) of the date of such disposition, the number of shares disposed of, the amount of proceeds received from such disposition, and any other information relating to such disposition as the Company may reasonably request. The Participant shall, in the event of such a disposition, make appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide for the amount of additional withholding, if any, required by applicable federal and state income tax laws. (i) Adjustment of Options. Subject to the limitations contained in Sections 7 and 14, the Incentive Plan Committee may make any adjustment in the Option Price, the number of shares subject to, or the terms of, an outstanding Option and a subsequent granting of an Option by amendment or by substitution of an outstanding Option. Such amendment, substitution, or re-grant may result in terms and conditions (including Option Price, number of shares covered, vesting schedule or exercise period) that differ from the terms and conditions 10 of the original Option. The Incentive Plan Committee may not, however, adversely affect the rights of any Participant to previously granted Options without the consent of such Participant. If such action is affected by amendment, the effective date of such amendment shall be the date of the original grant. 7.3 STOCKHOLDER PRIVILEGES. No Option Holder shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Option until the Option Holder becomes the holder of record of such Stock, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends or other distributions or other rights as to which there is a record date preceding the date such Option Holder becomes the holder of record of such Stock, except as provided in Section 4. SECTION 8 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS If an agreement evidencing an Option so provides, an Option granted under this Plan (herein sometimes referred to as the "corresponding option") may include the right (a "Stock Appreciation Right") to receive an amount equal to some or all of the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to unexercised portions of the corresponding option over the aggregate exercise price for such Shares under the corresponding option as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. The amount payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be paid in cash or in shares of the class then subject to the corresponding option (valued on the basis of their Fair Market Value), or in a combination of cash and such shares so valued. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part (a) other than in connection with the contemporaneous surrender without exercise of such corresponding option, or the portion thereof that corresponds to the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised, or (b) except to the extent that the corresponding option or such portion thereof is exercisable on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right by the person exercising the Stock Appreciation Right, or (c) unless the class of stock then subject to the corresponding option is then "publicly traded". For this purpose, a class of stock is "publicly traded" if it is listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or if sales or bid and offer quotations therefor are reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on any then operative successor to the Nasdaq Stock Market. SECTION 9 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 9.1 AWARDS GRANTED BY INCENTIVE PLAN COMMITTEE. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, a Participant may be granted one or more Restricted Stock Awards consisting of Shares. The number of Shares granted as a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Incentive Plan Committee. 11 9.2 RESTRICTIONS. A Participant's right to retain a Restricted Stock Award granted to him under Section 9.1 shall be subject to such restrictions, including but not limited to his continuous employment by the Company for a restriction period specified by the Incentive Plan Committee, or the attainment of specified performance goals and objectives, as may be established by the Incentive Plan Committee with respect to such award. The Incentive Plan Committee may in its sole discretion require different periods of employment or different performance goals and objectives with respect to different Participants, to different Restricted Stock Awards or to separate, designated portions of the Shares constituting a Restricted Stock Award. 9.3 PRIVILEGES OF A STOCKHOLDER, TRANSFERABILITY. A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to Stock in accordance with its terms received by him as a Restricted Stock Award under this Section 9 upon his becoming the holder of record of such Stock; provided, however, that the Participant's right to sell, encumber or otherwise transfer such Stock shall be subject to the limitations of Section 11.2 hereof. 9.4 ENFORCEMENT OF RESTRICTIONS. The Incentive Plan Committee may in its sole discretion require one or more of the following methods of enforcing the restrictions referred to in Sections 9.2 and 9.3: (a) Placing a legend on the stock certificates referring to the restrictions; (b) Requiring the Participant to keep the stock certificates, duly endorsed, in the custody of the Company while the restrictions remain in effect; or (c) Requiring that the stock certificates, duly endorsed, be held in the custody of a third party while the restrictions remain in effect. 9.5 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, DEATH, DISABILITY, ETC. In the event of the death or disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Internal Revenue Code) of a Participant, or the retirement of a Participant as provided in Section 7.2(d)(ii), all employment period and other restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock Awards then held by him shall lapse, and such awards shall become fully nonforfeitable. Subject to Sections 5 and 10, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment for any other reason, any Restricted Stock Awards as to which the employment period or other restrictions have not been satisfied shall be forfeited. SECTION 10 CHANGE IN CONTROL 10.1 OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK. In the event of a change in control of the Company as defined in Section 10.2, then the Incentive Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion, without obtaining stockholder approval, to the extent permitted in Section 14, take any or all of the 12 following actions: (a) accelerate the exercise dates of any outstanding Options or make all such Options fully vested and exercisable; (b) grant a cash bonus award to any Option Holder in an amount necessary to pay the Option Price of all or any portion of the Options then held by such Option Holder; (c) pay cash to any or all Option Holders in exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding Options in an amount equal to the difference between the Option Price of such Options and the greater of the tender offer price for the underlying Stock or the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the cancellation of the Options; (d) make any other adjustments or amendments to the outstanding Options and (e) eliminate all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock and deliver Shares free of restrictive legends to any Participant. 10.2 DEFINITION. For purposes of the Plan, a "change in control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) any "person" or "group" (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the 1934 Act), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule l3d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 33-1/3 percent of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company; or (b) at any time during any period of three consecutive years (not including any period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board (and any new director whose election by the Board or whose nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (c) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. SECTION 11 RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES; PARTICIPANTS 11.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by the Company, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of an Award. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined by the Incentive Plan Committee at the time. 13 11.2 NONTRANSFERABILITY. No right or interest of any Participant in an Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be assignable or transferable during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or be subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or otherwise, including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or bankruptcy. In the event or a Participant's death, a Participant's rights and interests in Options shall, to the extent provided in Section 7, be transferable by testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution, and payment of any amounts due under the Plan shall be made to, and exercise of any Options may be made by, the Participant's legal representatives, heirs or legatees. If in the opinion of the Incentive Plan Committee a person entitled to payments or to exercise rights with respect to the Plan is disabled from caring for his affairs because of mental condition, physical condition or age, payment due such person may be made to, and such rights shall be exercised by, such person's guardian, conservator or other legal personal representative upon furnishing the Incentive Plan Committee with evidence satisfactory to the Incentive Plan Committee of such status. SECTION 12 GENERAL RESTRICTIONS 12.1 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. The Company may require any person to whom an Option or other Award is granted, as a condition of exercising such Option or receiving Stock under the Award, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that such person is acquiring the Stock subject to the Option or the Award for his own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Legends evidencing such restrictions may be placed on the certificates evidencing the Stock. 12.2 COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. Each Award shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder, such Award may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Incentive Plan Committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification. 12.3 STOCK RESTRICTION AGREEMENT. The Incentive Plan Committee may provide that shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of an Option shall, under certain conditions, be subject to restrictions whereby the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to such 14 shares or a right or obligation to repurchase all or a portion of such shares, which restrictions may survive a Participant's term of employment with the Company. The acceleration of time or times at which an Option becomes exercisable may be conditioned upon the Participant's agreement to such restrictions. SECTION 13 OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or the grant or vesting of any other Award shall not constitute "earnings" with respect to which any other employee benefits of such employee are determined, including without limitation benefits under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance or salary continuation plan. SECTION 14 PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION The Board may at any time terminate, and from time-to-time may amend or modify, the Plan provided, however, that no amendment or modification may become effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the stockholders if stockholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, or if the Company, on the advice of counsel, determines that stockholder approval is otherwise necessary or desirable. No amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant holding such Awards. SECTION 15 WITHHOLDING 15.1 WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENT. The Company's obligations to deliver Shares upon the exercise of an Option, or upon the vesting of any other Award, shall be subject to the Participant's satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and other tax withholding requirements. 15.2 WITHHOLDING WITH STOCK. At the time the Incentive Plan Committee grants an Award, it may, in its sole discretion, grant the Participant an election to pay all such amounts of tax withholding, or any part thereof, by electing to transfer to the Company, or to have the Company withhold from Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant, Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or such lesser amount as may be elected by the 15 Participant. All elections shall be subject to the approval or disapproval of the Incentive Plan Committee. The value of Shares to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date"). Any such elections by Participants to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be subject to the following restrictions: (a) All elections must be made prior to the Tax Date. (b) All elections shall be irrevocable. SECTION 16 BROKERAGE ARRANGEMENTS The Incentive Plan Committee, in its discretion, may enter into arrangements with one or more banks, brokers or other financial institutions to facilitate the disposition of shares acquired upon exercise of Stock Options, including, without limitation, arrangements for the simultaneous exercise of Stock Options and sale of the Shares acquired upon such exercise. SECTION 17 NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such other or additional incentive or other compensation arrangements of whatever nature as the Board may deem necessary or desirable or preclude or limit the continuation of any other plan, practice or arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to employees generally, or to any class or group of employees, which the Company now has lawfully put into effect, including, without limitation, any retirement, pension, savings and stock purchase plan, insurance, death and disability benefits and executive short-term incentive plans. SECTION 18 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 18.1 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. The issuance of stock and the payment of cash pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 18.2 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California. 16 SECTION 19 DURATION OF THE PLAN The Plan shall terminate at such time as may be determined by the Board of Directors, and no Award shall be granted after such termination. If not sooner terminated under the preceding sentence, the Plan shall fully cease and expire at midnight on December 31, 2013. Awards outstanding at the time of the Plan termination may continue to be exercised or earned in accordance with their terms. 17 CERTIFICATION I, the undersigned, being the duly elected President of the Company, do hereby certify that the foregoing Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote on April 28, 2003.

See response to comment 35. 5.

PROSPECTUS COVER PAGE 6. WE NOTE THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING YOUR INTENTION TO APPLY TO LIST THE SECURITIES ON THE NASDAQ AND THE PACIFIC EXCHANGE. PLEASE ADVISE US WHETHER YOU ARE REASONABLY ASSURED THAT THE SECURITIES WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR LISTING. The Company has submitted listing applications to Nasdaq and to the Pacific Exchange. The Company has received a response from Nasdaq requesting additional information. Nasdaq has not raised any issue concerning the Company's listing qualifications, although it did ask the Company for details on how it plans to address the auditors "going concern opinion" and for detailed projections for the current year, which the Company has prepared and which it will provide to Nasdaq. The Company believes that a successful completion of this offering will eliminate the need for a going concern comment in its auditor's report and further believes that the net proceeds of this offering will enable it to increase its revenue to the point where it will become cash flow positive and profitable. Therefore, the Company is confident that its securities will be accepted for listing on Nasdaq. The Company further believes that once it is listed on Nasdaq it will also qualify for a Tier II listing on the Pacific Exchange. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY 7. WE NOTE THAT YOU INTEND TO CONVERT ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF SERIES A AND SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK INTO SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ON THE DATE OF THE PROSPECTUS. PLEASE ADVISE US WHETHER THE PREFERRED SHARES WILL BE CONVERTED INTO SHARES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING, OR WHETHER YOU ARE RELYING UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. UPON REVIEWING YOUR RESPONSE, WE MAY HAVE FURTHER COMMENT. None of the shares of common stock that will be issued upon conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock will be registered. The Company believes that this issuance is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof. In addition, we note that the original issuance of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock were exempt from the registration requirement of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and that the convertibility of such stock was an original term set forth in the Certificates of Determination of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. 8.

Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 The disclosure referred to in your comment has been revised. Lennar, DR Horton and Centex are large national builders for whom the Company provides services. Warmington Group has been deleted, because, although the Company provides services to Warmington, it is not a significant customer. We have also identified three regional builders and four builders of multi-family homes to balance out the disclosure. National and regional builders each accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 while multi-family builders accounted for approximately 28% of revenue for the period. 9.

WE NOTE THAT YOU INTEND TO ISSUE 140,522 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE PROSPECTUS IN SATISFACTION OF $58,947 OF DEBT, AS AN INTEREST PAYMENT. PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER THIS ISSUANCE IS INTENDED TO SATISFY THE DEBT, OR IS MERELY A PAYMENT AGAINST INTEREST.

RISK FACTORS - PAGE 7 GENERAL 13. PLEASE REVISE YOUR RISK FACTORS AS APPROPRIATE TO IDENTIFY THE RISK INVESTORS FACE, RATHER THAN REFERRING GENERICALLY TO AN "ADVERSE EFFECT." RISK FACTORS NEEDING REVISION INCLUDE: o WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND CASH FLOW DEFICITS AND WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE AT A LOSS AND TO HAVE NEGATIVE CASH FLOW FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THIS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR SECURITIES. - PAGE 7 o IF WE NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO ON TERMS THAT ARE REASONABLE, IF AT ALL. THIS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATING AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, WHICH, IN TURN, COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PRICE OF OUR SECURITIES. - PAGE 8 o IF WE FAIL TO KEEP UP WITH CHANGES IN OUR INDUSTRY, WE WILL BECOME LESS COMPETITIVE, WHICH WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. - PAGE 9 o WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. - PAGE 11 The risk factors on page 7, 8, 9 and 11 referred to in your comment have been revised as per your request.

PLEASE REVISE BOTH THE RISK FACTOR HEADING AND THE ATTENDANT DISCLOSURE TO CLARIFY THE RISK TO INVESTORS RELATED TO YOUR POSSIBLE INABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, WHICH WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF ONE'S ENTIRE INVESTMENT. The risk factor referred to in your comment has been revised as per your request. Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR SALES IS DERIVED FROM A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. IF ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS DECIDE THEY NO LONGER WILL USE OUR SERVICES, OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WILL BE SEVERELY AND ADVERSELY IMPACTED - PAGE 9 15. PLEASE REVISE TO IDENTIFY THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNTING FOR MORE THAN 30.9% OF YOUR REVENUES. The risk factor referred to in your comment has been revised as per your request. RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING - PAGE 11 OUR STOCK PRICE WILL FLUCTUATE AFTER THIS OFFERING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS AND SIGNIFICANT COSTS RELATED TO LITIGATION - PAGE 11 16. WE NOTE THE REFERENCE TO SECURITIES LITIGATION IN THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THIS RISK FACTOR. TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU BELIEVE THIS RISK IS A MATERIAL RISK TO THE COMPANY, PLEASE REVISE TO ADDRESS IT AS A SEPARATE RISK FACTOR WITH ITS OWN HEADING.

AS A PUBLIC COMPANY, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THEY ARE NOW, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO BE CASH FLOW POSITIVE AND PROFITABLE - PAGE 12 17.

The risk factor referred to in your comment has been revised as per your request. USE OF PROCEEDS - PAGE 15 18. PLEASE DISCLOSE THE MEANING OF "NON-ACCOUNTABLE EXPENSE ALLOWANCE."

PLEASE ADVISE US WHY THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WITH NO PAR VALUE WOULD CAUSE INCREASES IN YOUR ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL ACCOUNT. WE NOTE THAT THE PRO FORMA APIC ACCOUNT REFLECTS THE VALUE OF 140,522 SHARES ISSUED IN SATISFACTION OF DEBT AND THE PRO FORMA AS ADJUSTED APIC ACCOUNT REFLECTS THE ESTIMATED PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING. IN ADDITION, Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 PLEASE ADVISE US AND EXPAND UPON YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE ADJUSTMENTS TO INCLUDE 1) WHAT SPECIFICALLY CAUSED THE $1,184 INCREASE IN THE PRO FORMA COMMON STOCK ACCOUNT AND 2) THE AMOUNT OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING THAT ARE BEING ALLOCATED TO THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND THE WARRANTS, RESPECTIVELY. The table on page 18 of the prospectus has been revised. First, the 141,727 shares that were or will be issued after September 30, 2005 are reflected under common stock. Second, the pro forma as adjusted column has been revised to take into account the additional securities to be issued at closing to the holders of the Unsecured Notes (see your comments 49-51 below) and to allocate $12 million of net proceeds from the offering and the $1.5 million worth of units to be issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes between the stock and the warrants included in the units. The amounts allocated to common stock and APIC was determined by the Black-Scholes valuation model using an estimated fair value of our common stock of $6.50, expected term of one year, a volatility of 0.0%, no dividends and a discount rate of 5.0%. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - PAGE 21 OVERVIEW - PAGE 20 21. PLEASE ADDRESS ANY KNOWN TRENDS THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR FUTURE FINANCIAL CONDITION OR OPERATING PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING HOUSING CONSTRUCTION MARKET TRENDS AND COMPETITIVE TRENDS.

The disclosure under Stock Based Compensation and Debt Discount has been expanded as per your request. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - PAGE 24 23. PLEASE REVISE YOUR DISCUSSION OF CHANGES IN REVENUES TO DISCUSS AND QUANTIFY THE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN FEES, VOLUME OF ENGAGEMENTS, AND ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT FACTORS ON YOUR REVENUES FOR THE PERIOD, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITEM 303(B)(1) OF REGULATION S-B. YOU SHOULD DISCUSS WHY THESE CHANGES OCCURRED AND WHETHER THESE MATTERS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON FUTURE OPERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY MATERIAL TRENDS THAT MAY EXIST. Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 The disclosure has been revised as per your comment. The Company's revenue growth is attributable to increasing demand for its services, most likely as a result of the trends identified in response to comment 21. 24. WHEN MORE THAN ONE FACTOR IS CITED IN EXPLAINING A CHANGE IN A FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEM, THE AMOUNTS RELATED TO EACH SIGNIFICANT INDIVIDUAL FACTOR SHOULD BE QUANTIFIED UNLESS NOT PRACTICAL. ALSO, SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS COMMENT REGARDING REVENUES, YOU SHOULD DISCUSS WHY THESE CHANGES OCCURRED AND WHETHER THESE MATTERS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON FUTURE OPERATIONS, INCLUDING ANY MATERIAL TRENDS THAT MAY EXIST.

See pages 25 and 31 of the prospectus. The workman's compensation insurance policy was obtained through AIG. It is an annual renewable policy. It is too early for the Company to have developed any rating history to estimate future contingencies under the policy. The Company does not believe that there are any risks associated with obtaining this policy. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - PAGE 26 28. WE NOTED THAT YOUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES DISCUSSION IN MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS IS, IN PART, A RECITATION OF YOUR CASH FLOW IN NARRATIVE FORM. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITEM 303 OF REGULATION S-B AND FRR 72, PLEASE REVISE FUTURE FILINGS TO DISCUSS THE FACTORS THAT DRIVE CASH FLOWS RATHER THAN SIMPLY DISCUSS THE LINE ITEMS THAT APPEAR ON THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT.

At the present time, the Company is not aware of any trends, other than those disclosed in the prospectus that would have an impact on future operations. BUSINESS - PAGE 29 INDUSTRY BACKGROUND - PAGE 29 29. PLEASE ADVISE US FOR THE BASIS FOR YOUR BELIEF, AS DISCUSSED IN PARAGRAPH THREE, THAT YOU ARE THE LARGEST MOLD PREVENTION SERVICE COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES. The disclosure has been revised as per your comment. The Company's belief is based on its knowledge of the industry in which it competes and the markets that it serves and its relationships with various national and regional home builders. As disclosed in the prospectus, the mold prevention industry is relatively new and the Company is not aware of any independent studies analyzing the size of the market or ranking the companies that compete in this industry. SALES AND MARKETING - PAGE 31 30. PLEASE REVISE THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH TO INCLUDE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE JOINT MARKETING AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO WITH GULF COAST MOLD GUARD, LLC. The disclosure has been revised as per your comment. MANAGEMENT - PAGE 35 31. PLEASE ADVISE US OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING MR. BARNES' RESIGNATION AS PRESIDENT EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 30, 2005. Mr. Barnes was devoting substantially all of his time to developing a marketing strategy and program for Zero Plus, the joint venture in which the Company owned a 50% interest (see note 1 to the financial statements). In the meantime, the Company had hired Mr. Davidson who, despite having been hired as the Company's chief financial officer, assumed the responsibilities of overseeing all aspects of the Company's operations. In August 2005, the Board appointed Mr. Davidson as the Company's chief operating officer as well. Shortly thereafter, the Company decided to divest itself of its interest in Zero Plus. Mr. Barnes was given the opportunity to return to the Company on a full-time basis as Vice President - Marketing, a position that would have required him to report to Mr. Davidson. That was not acceptable to Mr. Barnes. Because he had an employment agreement with the Company at the time, the Company felt compelled to enter into the Severance Agreement. 32. PLEASE REVISE, IF KNOWN, TO IDENTIFY THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES INCLUDED IN THE LISTING OF YOUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. At this time, only one director-nominee has confirmed that he will join the Board after the offering. His name is Michael Katz and he has been added to the Management table and his biography has been included. Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE - PAGE 37 33. PLEASE PROVIDE FOOTNOTE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE ITEMS INCLUDED AS "OTHER COMPENSATION." The disclosure has been revised as per your comment. PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS - PAGE 43 34. PLEASE REVISE TO INDICATE THE NAME OF THE NATURAL PERSON OR PERSONS HOLDING VOTING CONTROL AND DISPOSITIVE POWER OVER THE SHARE HELD BY SEAGROVE, LLC. The disclosure has been revised as per your comment. REGISTRATION RIGHTS - PAGE 49 35. WE NOTE THAT YOU INTEND TO ISSUE 227,660 CLASS A WARRANTS AND 113,830 CLASS B WARRANTS AND 341,490 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THE WARRANTS TO CRESTRIDGE INVESTMENTS AMG MOLDGUARD LLC IN EXCHANGE FOR THE 170,745 WARRANTS IT ALREADY OWNS. PLEASE ADVISE US AS TO THE TIMING OF THIS ISSUANCE, AND OF THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION YOU INTEND TO RELY UPON FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE WARRANTS AND SHARES, AS WELL AS PROVIDING THE LEGAL ANALYSIS WHEREBY YOU DETERMINED THAT THE EXEMPTION MAY APPROPRIATELY BE RELIED UPON. UPON REVIEW, WE MAY HAVE FURTHER COMMENTS. In September 2005, the Company and Crestridge Investments AMG Moldguard LLC entered into an agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Crestridge agreed that it would not exercise its right to convert the Convertible Notes into shares of Series C Preferred Stock and to cancel the warrants that the Company issued in April 2005, and the Company agreed that it would issue to Crestridge a fixed number of warrants (1,000,000 pre-reverse split) of the same class or series that are issued in the offering and to register those warrants and the underlying shares of common stock in the Registration Statement. By its terms, that agreement terminates on February 17, 2006. When it became apparent that the offering would not be completed by February 17, 2006, the Company asked Crestridge to extend that date to June 30, 2006. Crestridge made certain demands on the Company that the Company felt were onerous and decided to allow the September 2005 agreement to expire on February 17, 2006. Consequently, beginning February 18, 2006 Crestridge's conversion right will be reinstated, the April 2005 warrants will not be cancelled and the Company will not issue any Class A or Class B warrants to Crestridge. As a result, the selling security holder prospectus has been eliminated from the Registration Statement, all references to the Selling Securityholder have been eliminated from the primary prospectus and additional disclosure has been added describing Crestridge's conversion right and the consequences of it exercising that right. Specifically, in response to your comment, the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants would have been issued at the time of the offering to two affiliates of Crestridge Investments AMG Moldguard LLC. This issuance would have been exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) and, possibly, Section 3(a)(9) thereof. Crestridge Investments is an institutional accredited investor that purchased the Company's convertible notes and is also the holder of a warrant issued by the Company. That warrant is the only one of its class. Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 UNDERWRITERS - PAGE 50 36. PLEASE CONFIRM, IF TRUE, THAT PAULSON INVESTMENT COMPANY, INC. IS THE SOLE UNDERWRITER.

PLEASE PRESENT AS A LINE ITEM SEPARATE FROM STOCK ISSUED FOR CASH, THE 12,500 SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK REACQUIRED IN SEPTEMBER 2004. ALSO TELL US HOW YOU HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR THE REACQUIRED SHARES (I.E. SPECIFY WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN RETIRED OR WHETHER THEY ARE CONSIDERED TREASURY STOCK). The transaction has been subject to further review, and the Company has concluded that the $75,000 should be accounted for as refund of a subscription amount. Accordingly, all references to the repurchase stock have been eliminated. Please see our response to comment 52. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS - PAGE F-7 43. WE NOTE NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHERE EQUITY INSTRUMENTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, BUT THE AMOUNTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS DO NOT AGREE TO THE AMOUNTS IN YOUR CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY.

PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH A DETAILED RECONCILIATION OF AMOUNTS PRESENTED IN YOUR CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS TO THE AMOUNTS IN YOUR CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY.

WE NOTE THAT YOU VALUED THE ACQUISITION OF TRUST ONE TERMITE, INC. BASED UPON THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF YOUR COMMON STOCK. PLEASE ADVISE US HOW YOU DETERMINED THAT THE VALUE OF YOUR COMMON STOCK WAS MORE RELIABLY MEASURABLE THAN THE FAIR VALUE OF THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACQUIRED AS PART OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION. REFER TO PARAGRAPH 6 OF SFAS 141. The fair value of the Company's common stock issued in the transaction was deemed to be a more reliable measure of the value of the transaction because it was consistent with recent valuations of the Company's stock in connection with various financing transactions and because there was no objective reliable valuation of Trust One. Trust One was losing money and, aside Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 from cash on hand, had nominal tangible assets. The real value of Trust One was the intangible assets - its customers and its pest control license issued by the State of California, in which Trust One had only a small investment. 45. REMOVE THE 2003 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL RESULTS RELATED TO THE TRUST ONE ACQUISITION, AS A PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT SHOULD NOT BE PRESENTED FOR MORE THAN ONE COMPLETE FISCAL YEAR.

NOTES PAYABLE SHORT TERM LOANS: 2004 - PAGE F-15 48. PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER THE INTEREST RATE OF 3% PER MONTH IS TRULY 3% PER MONTH OR 3% PER ANNUM PAYABLE MONTHLY. The disclosure is correct. The interest charge is 3% per month. 2005 - PAGE F-16 49. PLEASE CLARIFY TO US THE TERMS OF THE UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2005. SPECIFICALLY TELL US WHETHER YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PAY BACK THE $1.5 MILLION PRINCIPLE, IN CASH; INTEREST; AND $1.5 MILLION WORTH OF YOUR SECURITIES (I.E. WHETHER YOU PAY BACK THE NOTES WITH A COMBINATION OF CASH AND SECURITIES WORTH A TOTAL IN EXCESS OF $3 MILLION). The 10% unsecured promissory notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due on the earlier of (a) three business days after the date on which the Company completes an equity Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 financing resulting in gross proceeds of $3 million or more and (b) August 31, 2006. At maturity, the Company is required to repay in cash the original principal amount -- $1.5 million - plus all accrued but unpaid interest. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the holders of the unsecured notes additional securities of the Company as follows: If the Company completes a Qualified Sale on or before December 31, 2006, the Company is also required to issue to the holders of these notes (whether or not such notes have been repaid) $1.5 million worth of the securities sold in the Qualified Sale based on the offering price in the Qualified Sale. If the Company does not complete a Qualified Sale on or before December 31, 2006, then the Company will issue to the holders of the unsecured promissory notes (whether or not the notes have been repaid) 1,200,000 shares of its common stock. Thus, the holders of the notes get back their entire investment with interest and either securities with a value of $1.5 million (if a Qualified Sale has occurred on or before December 31, 2006) or 1.2 million shares of the Company's common stock (if a Qualified Sale has not occurred on or before December 31, 2006). 50. ALSO, EXPLAIN WHETHER THE 1.2 MILLION SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THAT MUST BE ISSUED IF A QUALIFIED SALE HAS NOT OCCURRED BY DECEMBER 31, 2006 IS IN ADDITION TO $1.5 MILLION OF YOUR SECURITIES OR IN LIEU OF $1.5 MILLION OF YOUR SECURITIES. As discussed above in response to Comment No. 49, if a Qualified Sale has not occurred by December 31, 2006, the holders of the 10% unsecured notes will receive 1.2 million shares in lieu of $1.5 million worth of securities. 51. PLEASE ADVISE US OF THE VALUE, IF ANY, ASSIGNED TO THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE 10% UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES. IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THE PROCEEDS WERE ALLOCATED TO DEBT, WHEN A BIFURCATION BETWEEN DEBT AND THE ATTACHED RIGHTS MAY HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE. PLEASE ADVISE US WHAT CONSIDERATION YOU GAVE TO APB 14 AND EITF 00-19 WHEN DETERMINING THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT FOR THESE NOTES. The value assigned to the right to receive $1.5 million of Additional Securities was the notional amount, or $1.5 million. In determining the appropriate accounting for this right, and the related notes payable, the Company did consider APB 14 and EITF 00-19. However, it also considered SFAS 150 and the Company believes that SFAS 150 is more appropriate based on the fact pattern of this transaction. SFAS 150 states the following in paragraph 12: "A financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares shall be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any one of the following: (a) A fixed monetary amount known at inception (for example, a payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer's equity shares)." Because the value of the Additional Securities was a fixed monetary amount that was known at inception ($1.5 million), the Company recorded such amount as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount against the related notes payable. The Company is amortizing the value of the Additional Securities (debt discount) into interest expense over the expected term of the related notes payable. Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 NOTE 7. CAPITALIZATION SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK - PAGE F-17 52. PLEASE CLARIFY HOW THE REPURCHASE PRICE OF $6 PER SHARE WAS DETERMINED. After reviewing the transaction and after consulting with counsel, the Company has determined that the transaction in question was not a repurchase of securities. Originally, the Company had agreed to sell 60,000 shares of is Series B Preferred Stock to the investor for $150,000. The purchase price was delivered to the Company but no certificate was ever issued. Subsequently, the Company and the investor entered into a second agreement, which superseded the first agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to accept $75,000 from the investor and issue to him 62,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Since the Company did not have the cash on hand to return the $75,000 over-payment to the investor, the $75,000 was reflected in a note that bears interest at 10% per annum. 53. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHETHER THE $75,000 NOTE PAYABLE BEARS INTEREST AND, IF SO, DISCLOSE THE RATE AND ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT TERMS. As described above in our response to comment 52, the note bears interest at 10% per annum. It also provides for late payment penalties equal to 2% and $4,000 per month. NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS - PAGE F-21 54. PLEASE CORRECT THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S BASE SALARY AS STATED IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH AND AS STATED IN THE TABLE BELOW. The discrepancy has been corrected. INCOME TAX RETURNS - PAGE F-21 55. WE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE NOT FILED FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR 2003 OR 2004. DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSSES SINCE INCEPTION, IT APPEARS THAT YOU MAY STILL HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS. PLEASE TELL US WHETHER YOU HAVE FILED FOR EXTENSIONS OR WHETHER YOU HAVE HAD ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE IRS. ALSO, TELL US HOW YOU HAVE CONSIDERED THE IMPACT OF ANY POTENTIAL PENALTIES OR FINES THAT MAY BE ASSESSED DUE TO YOUR DELINQUENT FILINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SFAS 5. The Company did not file for any extensions and it has not been contacted by the IRS. The Company does not believe that any penalties for late filing would be significant as it does not owe any taxes for the relevant periods. The Company filed all of its returns for 2003 and 2004 on February 3, 2006. Accordingly, the statement that the Company has not filed its tax returns for 2003 and 2004 has been deleted. Michael McTiernan U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission February 13, 2006 ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES 56. WE NOTE THAT IN SEPTEMBER 2005 YOU SOLD $1.5 MILLION AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF 10% UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES DUE AUGUST 31, 2006, AND THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE $1.5 [MILLION] WORTH OF UNITS SOLD IN THE INSTANT OFFERING BASED ON THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE PER UNIT, IN RELIANCE UPON THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 4(2) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE UNITS IS PURSUANT TO A CONVERSION FEATURE OF THE NOTES OR IF IT IS A SEPARATE RIGHT. IN ADDITION, PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH YOUR ANALYSIS ADDRESSING WHY THIS PLACEMENT SHOULD NOT BE INTEGRATED WITH THIS OFFERING. The right to receive $1.5 million worth of units is a separate right. The 10% unsecured promissory notes are not convertible instruments. The right to receive $1.5 million worth of units was fixed at the time of the financing - September 2005 - more than three months before the filing of the registration statement. The exact number of units that will be issued will be determined at the time of the offering based on the initial public offering price of the units but the total dollar value of the units that the holders of these notes will receive as well as their right to receive those units was fixed before the registration statement was filed. ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS 57. WE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE INCLUDED THE UNDERTAKING APPLICABLE TO REGISTRATION STATEMENTS THAT RELY ON RULE 430B. PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT WILL RELY ON RULE 430B AND NOT RULE 430C. IF NOT, PLEASE REVISE TO INCLUDE THE APPROPRIATE UNDERTAKING. Item 28 has been revised to include the appropriate undertaking. EXHIBIT 5.1 58. THE REFERENCES TO THE SECURITIES REGISTERED IN (N), (O), (P) AND (Q) OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH DO NOT CONFORM TO THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. PLEASE REVISE OR ADVISE. Exhibit 5.1 has been revised to delete the paragraphs referred to in your comment. Those paragraphs were intended to reflect the securities covered by the selling securityholder prospectus, which has been deleted form the Registration Statement. Please see our response to comment 35. Sincerely, /s/ Joel J. Goldschmidt ----------------------- Joel J. Goldschmidt
