________________________________________________________________
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Because the founders may, on behalf of the corporation, engage in transactions with himself or affiliates, prospective shareholders should recognize that such transactions might place the trustees of the corporation in “conflicts of interest” situations. A summary of the agreements to be entered into is attached hereto.
RISK FACTORS
The purchase of the shares involves certain risk factors. It is suitable only for persons of adequate means who have no need for liquidity in a portion of their investments. The following risk factors should be considered before making an investment decision; they are not a complete list:

Tax treatment of the investment. Tax treatment of the results of this investment will vary by investor. There is the risk in any venture that the tax treatment desired by investors or the venture will not occur, or that the tax rules will change.

Long-term Nature of Investment. Potential investors should be aware of the long-term nature of the investment in the corporation. Each investor must warrant that he is purchasing the shares for investment purposes and not for resale. Also, transfer of the shares will not be permitted without the receipt of an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Board of Directors of the company as well as company counsel that such transfer would not violate applicable securities laws. Such an opinion may not be available unless the corporation elects to register under applicable securities laws. The corporation presently has no plans to so register. Even if transfer were possible it is likely that no market would exist for the shares. Because the success or failure of the venture may not be known for many years, an investor may find himself the owner of an interest which may not be profitable, and which he cannot transfer.

Indemnification of the Management and Board of Directors. Agents and directors of the corporation are, subject to certain conditions, to be indemnified by the corporations against certain liabilities.

Absence of Independent Counsel. Unless an individual investor’s counsel has reviewed this Memorandum and advised the investor concerning an investment decision, the shareholders and corporation will not have been represented by independent counsel in connection with this offering. Interested investors should seek legal and accounting advice from independent persons prior to proceeding. (Please note such advisors must also execute a non-disclosure.)

Dilution of equity. Predicting the future is difficult. However, reason dictates that there will be a dilution of the equity position of investors in future fund raising, if needed.

Debt to Equity Ratio. The investment contemplated herein may have a high debt-to-equity ratio. If later operating revenues decline because products cannot be successfully marketed, there will be a disproportionately severe effect on the values of the corporation interests and the cash flow available for distribution. Risk of decline of the economy. The economy of the world or the United States may return to recession, which could result in the target businesses not committing capital to new products, no matter how attractive.
INVESTOR SUITABILITY STANDARDS
Purchase of the shares offered hereby is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity to the extent of their investment herein.
Prospective purchasers should invest in this offering only after considering the following:
1. The prospective purchaser of any shares should have a net worth (i.e., total assets in excess of total liabilities) of at least $1,000,000, (individually or combined with a spouse) exclusive of home, furnishings and automobiles; or, the investor should have annual gross income of at least $200,000 or the investor should purchase in excess of $150,000 of this offer, which amount does not exceed 20% of investor’s net worth (individually or combined with a spouse).
2. The overall commitment of the prospective purchaser to investments which are not readily marketable or transferable should not be disproportionate to his net worth, and his investment in the shares subscribed to should not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
3. The prospective purchaser should have adequate means of providing for his current needs and personal contingencies; should have no need for liquidity in his investment in the shares; and should have the ability to bear the economic risk of this investment; and,
4. The prospective purchaser, or his offeree or purchaser representative, if any, should have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment.

RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE, READ CAREFULLY
The corporation interests offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 nor have they been registered by any similar review process in any state.

Accordingly, the interests must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under that Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available, and until the corporation has been provided with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and its counsel to the effect that registration is not required, and that any such transfer complies with all federal and state securities laws and will not jeopardize the corporation’s status. Purchasers have no right to require any registration to be effected by the corporation and the corporation is not obligated to supply any shareholder with information necessary to enable them to make sales.

All shareholder certificates issued will bear a restrictive legend which, in substance, will state: “The interests have been sold in reliance on exemptions from registration afforded by the Securities Act of l933, as well as registration exemptions provided by similar statutes in the various states in which this offering is made. The interests may not be transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the corporation’s counsel that an exemption from registration is available.” In addition, the shares shall be endorsed with proper language regarding the first right of refusal held by the corporation and other shareholders.

Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. This document is required for capital raises of private companies. It is a pro forma agreement that will stand up as well as any with regards to investor litigation. No document can protect you from litigation in this regard. They can minimize the negative consequences of such a suit. As an investor, no document can protect you adequately from a poor choice of investments. Investors rarely recover on these matters as a practical matter. Therefore, decide on the practical merits of the investment and do not rely on any documents to “get you whole.”

1. Make multiple copies. Give one to each investor and keep a record of all signed copies in the corporate records. Be sure to ratify the acceptance of such investments; have the investors sign for their actual stock certificates.
