      Between on or about February 28th and March 4, 2000, EPL Technologies,
Inc., in a series of credit transactions (the "Credit Transactions"), borrowed
from individual investors $3,275,000 (collectively, the "Loan"); the term of the
Loan is one year. In connection with the Credit Transactions, the Company issued
