ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are hereby incorporated by reference:

         (a)      The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
                  December 31, 1999;

         (b)      All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
                  13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
                  "Exchange Act") since December 31, 1999; and

         (c)      The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in
                  the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB filed
                  with the Commission under Section 12 of the Exchange Act on
                  December 2, 1998, including any amendment or report filed for
                  the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
part hereof from the date of filing such documents.

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Generally speaking, Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify its officers, directors,
employees and agents against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by
reason of the fact that they were or are officers, directors, employees or
agents of the corporation, if those officers, directors, employees or agents
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 reason to believe their conduct was
unlawful. In a derivative action, indemnification may be made only for expenses




<PAGE>   3


actually and reasonably incurred by officers, directors, employees and agents in
connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with
respect to a matter as to which they have acted in good faith and in a manner
they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if that person has been
adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought determines on application that the
defendant officers, directors, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for expenses despite the adjudication of liability. To the
extent an officer, director, employee or agent of a corporation is successful on
the merits or otherwise in such actions, indemnification by a corporation for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the defense of such actions is
mandatory.

         Accordingly, the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation require the
indemnification of its officers and directors, and its former officers and
directors, to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. The Registrant's
Bylaws also require the indemnification of its officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

         Also, the Registrant has acquired insurance with respect to, among
other things, certain liabilities which may arise under the statutory provisions
referred above. The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured against
certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities
Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they
are not indemnified by the Registrant.

ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

         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 include any material information with respect to
                  the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                  registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement.

<PAGE>   4



         (2)      that, for purposes 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 therein, 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.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the question has already been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of 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.

ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are hereby incorporated by reference:

         (a)      The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
                  December 31, 1999;

         (b)      All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
                  13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
                  "Exchange Act") since December 31, 1999; and

         (c)      The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in
                  the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB filed
                  with the Commission under Section 12 of the Exchange Act on
                  December 2, 1998, including any amendment or report filed for
                  the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be
part hereof from the date of filing such documents.

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Generally speaking, Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify its officers, directors,
employees and agents against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by
reason of the fact that they were or are officers, directors, employees or
agents of the corporation, if those officers, directors, employees or agents
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 reason to believe their conduct was
unlawful. In a derivative action, indemnification may be made only for expenses
3

actually and reasonably incurred by officers, directors, employees and agents in
connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with
respect to a matter as to which they have acted in good faith and in a manner
they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if that person has been
adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought determines on application that the
defendant officers, directors, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for expenses despite the adjudication of liability. To the
extent an officer, director, employee or agent of a corporation is successful on
the merits or otherwise in such actions, indemnification by a corporation for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the defense of such actions is
mandatory.

         Accordingly, the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation require the
indemnification of its officers and directors, and its former officers and
directors, to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. The Registrant's
Bylaws also require the indemnification of its officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

         Also, the Registrant has acquired insurance with respect to, among
other things, certain liabilities which may arise under the statutory provisions
referred above. The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured against
certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities
Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they
are not indemnified by the Registrant.

ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

         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 include any material information with respect to
                  the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                  registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement.

                                      -2-

         (2)      that, for purposes 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 therein, 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.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the question has already been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of 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.
