Common Stock


 


The holders of our
Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably
such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy
of our Board of Directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up,
the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The
holders of our Common Stock will have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and
privileges of holders of our Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any
series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future.

Preferred Stock


 


Our Board of Directors
is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from
time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations,
preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our Board of
Directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive
rights.


 


Series A Convertible Preferred Stock


 


We have designated
six thousand (6,000) shares of preferred stock as 0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”).
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our Common Stock based on a conversion calculation equal to
the Base Amount divided by the conversion price. The Base Amount is defined as the sum of (i) the aggregate stated value of the
Series A Preferred Stock to be converted and (ii) all unpaid dividends thereon. The stated value of each share of the Series A
Preferred Stock is $1,000 and the conversion price is currently $0.21 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits,
dividends and recapitalizations.


 


We are prohibited from
effecting a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially
own more than 9.99% in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, calculated immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred
Stock possess no voting rights except as required by law.


 


Nevada Anti-Takeover Law and Certain
Charter and Bylaw Provisions


 


Some features of the
Nevada Revised Statutes, which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover
bids for control of our company or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders
would realize a premium over market price for their shares of Common Stock as a result of a takeover bid.


 


Acquisition of Controlling Interest


 


The Nevada Revised
Statutes contain provisions governing acquisition of a controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally
that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied
voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation, excluding
shares as to which any of such acquiring person or entity, an officer or a director of the corporation, or an employee of the corporation
exercises voting rights, elect to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. These provisions apply whenever a person or entity
acquires shares that, but for the operation of these provisions, would bring voting power of such person or entity in the election
of directors within any of the following three ranges:


 


	·	20% or more but less than 33 1/3%;
	·	33 1/3% or more but less than or equal to 50%; or
	·	more than 50%.

The stockholders or
board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from these provisions through adoption of
a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation.


 


These provisions are
applicable only to a Nevada corporation, which:


 


	·	has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation; and
	·	does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.


 


On November 20, 2013,
we amended our bylaws to provide that the provisions of NRS 78.378 and 78.3793 (“Acquisition of a Controlling Interest”)
shall not apply to the Company or to any acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by any existing or future stockholder.


 


Combination with Interested Stockholder


 


The Nevada
Revised Statutes contain provisions governing combination of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record
with an interested stockholder. As of March 29, 2020, we had 177 stockholders of
record, not including persons or entities that hold our stock in nominee or “street name” through various
brokerage firms.


 


A corporation affected
by these provisions may not engage in a combination within two years after the interested stockholder first became an interested
stockholder, unless either (i) the combination or transaction by which the interested stockholder first became an interested stockholder
is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder first became an interested stockholder, or (ii) the combination
is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of the corporation’s stockholders representing at least
60% of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or the interested stockholder’s
affiliates. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the two-year period, the business combination
may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors of the combination or transaction by which the interested stockholder
first became an interested stockholder before the person became an interested stockholder, or a majority of the voting power held
by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal
to the highest of:


 


	·	the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within two years immediately before, or in the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;
	·	the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or
	·	if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any.


 


Generally, these provisions
define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting
power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation. Generally, these provisions define combination to include any merger or
consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in
one transaction or a series of transactions, with an interested stockholder of assets of the corporation having:


 


	·	an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation;
	·	an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or
	·	representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws


 


Pursuant to our Articles
of Incorporation, the existence of authorized but unissued common stock and undesignated preferred stock may enable our board of
directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer,
proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary
obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could
be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more
difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer
or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support
the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or
otherwise.


 


In addition, our Articles
of Incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares
of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution
to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance also may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of
those holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our Company.
