ACTION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND
CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
By unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company on June 4, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions (i) approving amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation effecting a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock on the basis of one share for every twenty outstanding shares, so that every twenty outstanding shares of Common Stock before the reverse stock split shall represent one share of Common Stock after the reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”), and reducing the number of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 750,000,000 to 50,000,000, and (ii) proposing that such amendments be submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation (the “Board Consent”). The Board Consent is attached hereto as Appendix A.  The action taken by the Board of Directors with respect to the Reverse Split and amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) was subsequently adopted by the written consent (the “Stockholder Consent”) of the Company’s stockholders entitled to vote a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding on June 8, 2010 (the “Record Date”). The Stockholder Consent is attached hereto as Appendix B.
 
The reasons for, and general effect of, the Reverse Split are described in “APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE SPLIT AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES.”
 
The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other matters other than that described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved or considered by the holders of the Common Stock.

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION
APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS

The following action has been approved by the written consent of the holders together entitled to vote a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock:

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE
COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE SPLIT AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF
AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES

Purpose of the Reverse Split

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to effect a reverse split of our Common Stock of one share for every twenty shares outstanding so that every twenty outstanding shares of Common Stock before the stock split shall represent one share of Common Stock after the stock split ,with all fractional shares rounded up to the next whole share (the “Reverse Split”).  The Board of Directors believes that the price of the Common Stock is too low to attract certain investors. In order to proportionally raise the per share price of the Common Stock by reducing the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, the Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to implement the Reverse Split. The Board of Directors believes that our Common Stock is undervalued and that the Reverse Split will allow the Company’s Common Stock to trade in a more realistic price range.

The Board of Directors also believes that the increased market price of the Common Stock expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Split will improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock and will encourage interest and trading in the Common Stock.  Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers.  Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers.  Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.  It should be noted that the liquidity of the Common Stock may be harmed by the proposed Reverse Split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Split.  The Board is hopeful, however, that the anticipated higher market price will reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the liquidity and marketability of the Common Stock inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage houses described above.  Consequently, the Board of Directors has recommended that we effect the Reverse Split.

5

 
The Board of Directors is not implementing the Reverse Split in anticipation of any future transaction or series of transactions, including any “going private” transaction.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Split

On the effective date of the Reverse Split, each twenty shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split effective date (the “Old Shares”) will automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders be converted into one share of our Common Stock (the “New Shares”).

Corporate matters.  The Reverse Split would have the following effects based upon the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date;

 
·
Every twenty of our Old Shares owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for one New Share; and

 
·
The number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 202,260,990 shares to 10,113,050 shares.

The Reverse Split will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Common Stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all of our outstanding Common Stock. The Reverse Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. As described below, stockholders and holders of options and warrants holding fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number.  Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.  We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Fractional Shares.  No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split.  Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of Old Shares not evenly divisible by the one for twenty Reverse Split ratio, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares of New Shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the stockholder any voting, dividend or other rights except to have his or her fractional interest rounded up to the nearest whole number when the New Shares are issued.

Holders of options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, who upon exercise of their options or warrants would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares because of the Reverse Split ratio, will receive a number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole number.  Holders of convertible notes, who upon conversion of their notes would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares because of the Reverse Split ratio, will receive a number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Convertible Securities.  The proposed Reverse Split will also reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan in proportion to the Reverse Split ratio.  The Company also has outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible notes pursuant to which shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise or conversion (the “Convertible Securities”).  Under the terms of the applicable Convertible Security, the number of shares subject to the Convertible Security will be proportionately reduced by the Reverse Split ratio.  In addition, the exercise or conversion price of each outstanding Convertible Security will be proportionately increased by the ratio.

6

 
Authorized Shares. The Company is presently authorized under its Certificate of Incorporation to issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be reduced from 750,000,000 to 50,000,000.  This reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is not in direct proportion to the Reverse Split ratio, and will result in an increase in the proportion of unissued authorized common shares to issued common shares.  We do not have any current plans to issue any of the additional newly authorized common shares that will result from this reduction in the number of authorized  common shares in a different proportion than the Reverse Split ratio. The issuance in the future of additional shares of our Common Stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights of the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of the Company's Common Stock may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect as further discussed below. Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue such shares in future financings or otherwise. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock would be diluted.
 
Accounting Matters. The Reverse Split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced in proportion to the Reverse Split ratio (that is, in a one-for-twenty reverse stock split, the stated capital attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced to one twentieth of its existing amount) and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will also be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect. Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company), the Reverse Split was not proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of Common Stock or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions having an anti-takeover effect to our Board of Directors and stockholders. Other than the Reverse Split and Amendment, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other corporate action that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company.

Certain Risk Factors Associated with the Reverse Split.  Implementation of the Reverse Split entails various risks, including but not limited to the following:

▪      There can be no assurance that the market price per share of the Common Stock after the Reverse Split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Split.

▪      There can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in a per share price that will be attractive to investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

▪      The reduced number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Split could adversely affect the liquidity of the Common Stock.

▪      After the Reverse Split is effected, if the market price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Split.

7

 
▪      If the proposed Reverse Split is implemented, it will increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock.  Brokerage commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the cost of transactions of more than 100 shares of Common Stock.

Procedure for Effecting a Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

The Reverse Split and the reduction in the number or authorized common shares will be accomplished by amending the first paragraph of Article FOURTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to read in its entirety as follows:

Fourth: This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock.  The total number of shares of Common Stock that this Corporation is authorized to issue is 50,000,000, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that this Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,000,000, with a par value of $0.001 per share.  Effective as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each Twenty (20) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation.  No fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu thereof, any resulting fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  Shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law.”

A copy of the form of Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is attached hereto as Appendix C.

The Reverse Split will become effective at such future date as determined by the Board of Directors, as evidenced by the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (which we refer to as the "Effective Time"), but in no event earlier than the 20th calendar day following the mailing of this Information Statement. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing Old Shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of New Shares.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Split has been effected. The Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of Old Shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing Old Shares in exchange for certificates representing New Shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in the letter of transmittal the Company sends to its stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to any stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder's outstanding certificate(s), together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. Any Old Shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale, other disposition or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for New Shares.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S)
AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to a current stockholder of the Company that is a "United States person," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (sometimes referred to herein as a "U.S. stockholder"), and who holds stock of the Company as a "capital asset," as defined in Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the Reverse Split. Tax considerations applicable to a particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder's individual circumstances. The discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular categories of stockholders subject to special treatment under certain U.S. federal income tax laws (such as dealers in securities or currencies, banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment companies, real estate mortgage investment conduits and foreign individuals and entities). The discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. In addition, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold stock of the Company through such entities.

8

 
The following discussion is based upon the Code, U.S. Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change or to varying interpretation at any time. Any such changes or varying interpretations may also be applied retroactively. The following discussion has no binding effect on the IRS or the courts.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such stockholder's deemed exchange of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Split. The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Reverse Split should be the same as such stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares being exchanged, and the holding period of the New Shares should include the holding period of such stockholder in the Old Shares.

Because of the complexity of the tax laws and because the tax consequences to the Company or to any particular stockholder may be affected by matters not discussed herein, stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them in connection with the Reverse Split, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of foreign, U.S. federal, state and local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on these corporate actions has been received in the form of a written consent in lieu of special meeting.

Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal

We are a Delaware corporation and are governed by the DGCL. Holders of the Company's Common Stock do not have appraisal or dissenter's rights under the DGCL in connection with the Reverse Split or the filing of the Amendment as approved by Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Reverse Split that is not shared by all other stockholders of ours.
