Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of Issuer

 

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

 

Conversion of Notes

 

On February 25, 2004, Arch Hill Capital converted the principal amount of a $3,949,000 promissory note into 1,974,500 shares of Issuer Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such note.

 

Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock

 

On February 25, 2004, Arch Hill Ventures converted the 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Arch Hill Ventures into 5,567,027 shares of Issuer Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued in the First and Second Share Exchanges and by their terms were convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Issuer Common Stock at any time following the authorization and reservation of a sufficient number of shares of Issuer Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Issuer Common Stock.

 

Effective May 9, 2003, the Issuer and Arch Hill Ventures amended the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and reduced the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock from 100,000 to 1,000 shares with the reduced number of shares having the same number of votes and having the right to convert into the same number of common shares as held prior to the amendment.

 

On July 28, 2003, the Issuer effected a one-for-twenty reverse common stock split. Proportionate adjustments based on the reverse stock split ratio were also made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, including the Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the one-for-twenty reverse stock split, the 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into 5,567,027 shares of Common Stock. As a result of the reverse stock split becoming effective, every twenty shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on July 28, 2003 were combined into one share of Company Common Stock. This action reduced the number of outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock from approximately 88.2 million to approximately 4.4 million. As a result, there was a sufficient number of authorized shares of Issuer Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Issuer Common Stock.
