Identify each such underwriter having a material relationship to the issuer and state the nature of the relationship. State briefl y the nature of the underwriters’ obligation to take the securities.

Instructions to Item 5(a): 1. All that is required as to the nature of the underwriters' obligation is whether the underwriters are or will be committed to take and to pay for all of the securities if any are taken, or whether it is merely an agency or the type of best eff orts arrangement under which the underwriters are required to take and to pay for only such securi- ties as they may sell to the public. Conditions precedent to the underwriters' taking the securities, including market outs, need not be described except in the case of an agency or best eff orts arrangement. 2. It is not necessary to disclose each member of a selling group. Disclosure may be limited to those underwriters who are in privity of contract with the issuer with respect to the off ering. (b) State briefl y the discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to dealers, including all cash, securities, contracts or other consideration to be received by any dealer in connection with the sale of the securities.

Provide such disclosure in a tabular format. At the bot- tom of the table, provide the total number of securities being off ered for the account of all securityholders and describe what percent of the pre-off ering outstanding securities of such class the off ering represents.

Instruction to Item 5(d):

Th e term “securityholder” in this paragraph refers to benefi cial holders, not nominee holders or other such holders of record. If the selling securityholder is an entity, disclosure of the persons who have sole or shared voting or investment power must be included. (e) Describe any arrangements for the return of funds to subscribers if all of the securities to be off ered are not sold. If there are no such arrangements, so state. (f) If there will be a material delay in the payment of the proceeds of the off ering by the underwriter to the

Page 14 is- suer, the salient provisions in this regard and the eff ects on the issuer must be stated. (g) Describe any arrangement to (1) limit or restrict the sale of other securities of the same class as those to be off ered for the period of distribution, (2) stabilize the market for any of the securities to be off ered, or (3) with- hold commissions, or otherwise to hold each underwriter or dealer responsible for the distribution of its partici- pation.

Instruction to Item 5:

Attention is directed to the provisions of Rules 10b-9 [17 CFR 240.10b-9] and 15c2-4 [17 CFR 240.15c2-4] under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Th ese rules outline, among other things, antifraud pro- visions concerning the return of funds to subscribers and the transmission of proceeds of an off ering to a seller.

Item 6. Use of Proceeds to Issuer

State the principal purposes for which the net proceeds to the issuer from the securities to be off ered are in- tended to be used and the approximate amount intended to be used for each such purpose. If the issuer will not receive any of proceeds from the off ering, so state.

Instructions to Item 6: 1. If any substantial portion of the proceeds has not been allocated for particular purposes, a statement to that eff ect must be made together with a statement of the amount of proceeds not so allocated. 2. State whether or not the proceeds will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to offi cers or directors of the issuer or any of its subsidiaries. 3. For best eff orts off erings, describe any anticipated material changes in the use of proceeds if all of the securities being qualifi ed on the off ering statement are not sold. 4. If an issuer must provide the disclosure described in Item 9(c) the use of proceeds and plan of opera- tions should be consistent. 5. If any material amounts of other funds are to be used in conjunction with the proceeds, state the amounts and sources of such other funds and whether such funds are fi rm or contingent. 6. If any material part of the proceeds is to be used to discharge indebtedness, describe the material terms of such indebtedness. If the indebtedness to be discharged was incurred within one year, describe the use of the proceeds arising from such indebtedness. 7. If any material amount of the proceeds is to be used to acquire assets, otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, briefl y describe and state the cost of the assets.

If the assets are to be acquired from affi li- ates of the issuer or their associates, give the names of the persons from whom they are to be acquired and set forth the basis used in determining the purchase price to the issuer. 8. Th e issuer may reserve the right to change the use of proceeds, so long as the reservation is promi- nently disclosed in the section where the use of proceeds is discussed. It is not necessary to describe the pos- sible alternative

Page 15 uses of proceeds unless the issuer believes that a change in circumstances leading to an alter- native use of proceeds is likely to occur.

Item 7. Description of Business (a) Narrative description of business.

Item 9. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Discuss the issuer’s fi nancial condition, changes in fi nancial condition and results of operations for each year and interim period for which fi nancial statements are required, including the causes of material changes from year to year or period to period in fi nancial statement line items, to the extent necessary for an understanding of the issuer’s business as a whole. Information provided also must relate to the segment information of the issuer. Pro- vide the information specifi ed below as well as such other information that is necessary for an investor’s under- standing of the issuer’s fi nancial condition, changes in fi nancial condition and results of operations. (a) Operating results. Provide information regarding signifi cant factors, including unusual or infrequent events or transactions or new developments, materially aff ecting the issuer’s income from operations, and, in each case, indicating the extent to which income was so aff ected. Describe any other signifi cant component of rev- enue or expenses necessary to understand the issuer’s results of operations.

To the extent that the fi nancial state- ments disclose material changes in net sales or revenues, provide a narrative discussion of the extent to which such changes are attributable to changes in prices or to changes in the volume or amount of products or services being sold or to the introduction of new products or services.

Instruction to Item 9(a): 1. Th e discussion and analysis shall focus specifi cally on material events and uncertainties known to manage- ment that would cause reported fi nancial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or of future fi nancial condition. Th is would include descriptions and amounts of (A) matters that would have an impact on future operations that have not had an impact in the past, and (B) matters that have had an impact on reported operations that are not expected to have an impact upon future operations. 2. Where the consolidated fi nancial statements reveal material changes from year to year in one or more line items, the causes for the changes shall be described to the extent necessary to an understanding of the issuer’s busi- nesses as a whole. If the causes for a change in one line item also relate to other line items, no repetition is required and a line-by-line analysis of the fi nancial statements as a whole is not required or generally appropriate. Issuers need not recite the amounts of changes from year to year which are readily computable from the fi nancial state- ments. Th e discussion must not merely repeat numerical data contained in the consoli- dated fi nancial statements. 3.

When interim period fi nancial statements are included, discuss any material changes in fi nancial condition from the end of the preceding fi scal year to the date of the most recent interim balance sheet provided. Discuss any material changes in the issuer’s results of operations with respect to the most recent fi scal year-to-date period for

Page 17 which a statement of comprehensive income (or statement of net income if comprehensive income is presented in two separate but consecutive fi nancial statements or if no other comprehensive income) is provided and the correspond- ing year-to-date period of the preceding fi scal year. (b) Liquidity and capital resources. Provide information regarding the following: (1) the issuer’s liquidity (both short and long term), including a description and evaluation of the internal and external sources of liquidity and a brief discussion of any material unused sources of liquidity. If a material defi ciency in liquidity is identifi ed, indicate the course of action that the issuer has taken or proposes to take to remedy the defi ciency. (2) the issuer’s material commitments for capital expenditures as of the end of the latest fi scal year and any subsequent interim period and an indication of the general purpose of such commitments and the antic- ipat- ed sources of funds needed to fulfi ll such commitments. (c) Plan of Operations. Issuers (including predecessors) that have not received revenue from operations during each of the three fi scal years immediately before the fi ling of the off ering statement (or since inception, which- ever is shorter) must describe, if formulated, their plan of operation for the 12 months following the commence- ment of the proposed off ering.

If such information is not available, the reasons for its unavailability must be stated. Disclosure relating to any plan must include, among other things, a statement indicating whether, in the issuer’s opinion, the proceeds from the off ering will satisfy its cash requirements or whether it anticipates it will be necessary to raise additional funds in the next six months to implement the plan of operations. (d) Trend information.

Th e issuer must identify the most signifi cant recent trends in production, sales and inventory, the state of the order book and costs and selling prices since the latest fi nancial year. Th e issuer also must discuss, for at least the current fi nancial year, any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material eff ect on the issuer’s net sales or revenues, income from con- tinuing operations, profi tability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported fi nancial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or fi nancial condition.

Information must be included as to any material underwriting discounts and commissions upon the sale of

Page 22 securities by the issuer where any of the specifi ed persons was or is to be a principal underwriter or is a controlling person, or member, of a fi rm which was or is to be a principal underwriter.
