               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

        The following documents are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement:

        1. The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB filed September
20, 1999, amended October 13, 1999, and November 8, 1999.

        2. The Registrant's Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, filed January 5, 2000.

        3. The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB, as amended, filed with the
Commission.

        In addition, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered 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 a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents with the Commission.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement
to the extent that a statement contained herein, or in a subsequently filed
document incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute part of this Registration
Statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

        Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

        Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The statutes, charter provisions, by-laws, contracts or other
arrangements under which controlling persons, directors or officers of the
Registrant are insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which
may occur in such capacity are as follows:

        The General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL") provides that a
corporation may limit the liability of each director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments
or stock redemptions or repurchases, and (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's by-laws provide
for the elimination and limitation of the personal liability of directors of the
Registrant for monetary damages to he fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The
effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and its
stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of the
Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the
fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from
negligence or grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described in
clauses (i) through (iv) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate the
rights of the Registrant or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as
an injunction or recision in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
The by-laws also provide that the Registrant shall, to the full extent permitted
by the DGCL, as amended from time-to-time, indemnify and advance expenses to
each of its currently acting and former directors, officers, employees and
agents.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

        Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

        5.1   Opinion of Siegel, Lipman, Dunay & Shepard, LLP

        10.13 Consulting Agreement with Josh Greenberg

        23.1  Consent of Siegel, Lipman, Dunay & Shepard, LLP (contained in its
              opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement)

        23.2  Consent of Margolies, Fink and Wichrowski

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:

            (a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

            (b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which,

<PAGE>

individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and

            (c) 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; provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) shall not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.

        (2) That, for the purpose 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to 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 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 the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question 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 4. Description of Securities.

        Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

        Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        The statutes, charter provisions, by-laws, contracts or other
arrangements under which controlling persons, directors or officers of the
Registrant are insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which
may occur in such capacity are as follows:

        The General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL") provides that a
corporation may limit the liability of each director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments
or stock redemptions or repurchases, and (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derives an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's by-laws provide
for the elimination and limitation of the personal liability of directors of the
Registrant for monetary damages to he fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The
effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and its
stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of the
Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the
fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from
negligence or grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described in
clauses (i) through (iv) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate the
rights of the Registrant or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as
an injunction or recision in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
The by-laws also provide that the Registrant shall, to the full extent permitted
by the DGCL, as amended from time-to-time, indemnify and advance expenses to
each of its currently acting and former directors, officers, employees and
agents.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

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:

            (a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

            (b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and

            (c) 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; provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) shall not apply if the information

contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the

        (2) That, for the purpose 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to 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 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 the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question 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.
