NOTICE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN PURSUANT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF MAJORITY           
STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS, DATED JULY 1,    
2003                                                                            

To Our Stockholders:                                                            

         NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following action will be taken pursuant
to the written consent of a majority of stockholders dated July 1, 2003, in lieu
of a special meeting of the stockholders. Such action will be taken on or about 
*, 2003:                                                                        

    1. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, will be
amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value  
$.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company from 400,000,000 shares to 
800,000,000 shares and authorize the creation of 20,000,000 shares of blank     
check preferred stock.                                                          

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

As of the Record Date, the Company's authorized capitalization
consisted of 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which * shares were issued  
and outstanding as of the Record Date. Holders of Common Stock of the Company   
have no preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe to any of the additional      
shares of Common Stock.                                                         

    Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each
matter submitted to the stockholders. However, because stockholders holding at  
least a majority of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock
as at the Record Date have voted in favor of the foregoing proposals by         
resolution dated July 1, 2003; and having sufficient voting power to approve    
such proposals through their ownership of capital stock, no other stockholder   
consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.       

      Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the proposals will not be adopted until a date at least 20 days after  
the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the             
stockholders. The Company anticipates that the actions contemplated herein will 
be effected on or about the close of business on *, 2003.                       

  The Company has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of   
the Common Stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons 
for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.                

         This Information Statement will serve as written notice to stockholders
pursuant to Section 222 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

       On July 1, 2003, the majority stockholders of the Company approved an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to replace 
Article IV in its entirety, which will result in an increase to the number of   
authorized shares of Common Stock as well as the creation of 20,000,000 blank   
check preferred stock. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,  
currently authorizes for issuance of 420,000,000 shares consisting of           
400,000,000 of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The       
approval of this amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will increase the
Company's authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000 and authorize the    
creation of 20,000,000 blank check preferred stock. The Company currently has   
authorized common stock of 400,000,000 shares and approximately * shares of     
Common Stock are outstanding as of the Record Date and authorized preferred     
stock of 20,000,000 and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The Board     
believes that the increase in authorized common shares would provide the Company
greater flexibility with respect to the Company's capital structure for such    
purposes as additional equity financing, and stock based acquisitions. The      
Company anticipates that the "blank check" preferred stock will be designated   
into classes as deemed appropriate by the Company in the future.                

       Article IV of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation currently is
as follows:                                                                     

    "The corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be
     designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The
        total number of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue is
        four hundred twenty million (420,000,000) shares. Four hundred million
        (400,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, each having a par value of
      $.0001. Twenty million (20,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock,
each having a par value of $.0001."                           

     Upon approval of the amendment to increase the Company's authorized
shares of common stock from 400,000,000 to 800,000,000, the Company Certificate 
of Incorporation will be as follows:                                            

       "FOURTH: The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock.
         One class of stock shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001. The second
 class of stock shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. The
       Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, shall have such designations,
    preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
         rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall
       be expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue
 of such stock adopted by the board of directors and may be made
dependent upon facts ascertainable outside such resolution or 
    resolutions of the board of directors, provided that the matter in
     which such facts shall operate upon such designations, preferences,
         rights and qualifications; limitations or restrictions of such class or
         series of stock is clearly and expressly set forth in the resolution or
      resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock by the board of
directors.                                                    

         The total number of shares of stock of each class which the Corporation
       shall have authority to issue and the par value of each share of each
class of stock are as follows:                                

                 Class             Par Value                 Authorized Shares
            Common            $0.0001                    800,000,000
            Preferred         $0.0001                     20,000,000

             Totals:                                      820,000,000"

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK                                             

         The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to
those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because     
holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for  

3 

PRER14C 5th Page of 13 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 5th
any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common  
Stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the
total outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of    
additional shares of authorized common stock will not alter the current number  
of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common   
Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.                               

       As of the Record Date, a total of * shares of the Company's currently
authorized 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. The   
increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would  
enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from  
time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising   
additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions,     
stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and    
other corporate purposes.                                                       

    The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common
Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's stockholders depending    
upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized   
but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that   
additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) 
in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of  
the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by   
the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons     
seeking to obtain control of the Company. Similarly, the issuance of additional 
shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the   
effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by
diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such  
removal. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated    
attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being      
presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti- takeover       
device.                                                                         

       Except for the following, there are currently no plans, arrangements,
commitments or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of      
Common Stock which are proposed to be authorized:                               

   o    In December 2001, we entered into a financing agreement with Bristol
          Investment Fund, Ltd., pursuant to which we issued and sold to Bristol
         Investment Fund, Ltd. a 12% two-year secured convertible debenture in
         the principal amount of $500,000, investment options for the purchase
          up to $500,000 of our common stock, and 1,000,000 warrants to purchase
       shares of our common stock, subject to antidilution adjustment. The
     exercise price of each warrant, as amended, is equal to $0.05 per
share, subject to antidilution adjustment. The debenture is 
     convertible at the holder's option at any time into shares of our
          common stock at the lesser of (i) $0.385 or (ii) 70% of the average of
      the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a
         principal market for the 20 trading days before but not including the
          conversion date. At the market price of $.09 as of August 1, 2003, the
     convertible debenture is convertible into approximately 7,936,508
shares of common stock.                                     

     o    In February 2002, we sold a total of 225,000 units at a purchase price
    of $8.00 per unit to three accredited investors for an aggregate
          purchase price of $1,800,000. Each unit consisted of ten shares of our
          common stock, subject to adjustment, and one warrant to purchase three
       shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share,
        subject to adjustment. In connection with the transaction, we agreed
   to register the shares of common stock sold in the transaction,
         including the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. In June
       2002, we amended, among other things, the terms of the reset option
       and warrants which were included in 187,500 units that were sold to
        Alpha Capital Aktiengesellschaft and Stonestreet Limited Partnership
      in February 2002. The amendment to the reset option provides that,
     among other things, the number of shares comprising each unit was
      automatically increased by 11 shares and, at any time but only one

PRER14C 6th Page of 13 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 6th
  time for each unit, until June 18, 2005, at the option of each
         purchaser, the number of shares comprising each unit may be increased
        by the difference between (A) $8.00 divided by 70% of the average of
        the lowest three intraday trading prices for our common stock during
         the 20 trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date of
       exercise of such option, less (B) 21. The amendment to each warrant
 reduced the exercise price to approximately $0.13, subject to
       adjustment. Stonestreet has also agreed not sell any portion of its
        shares received in connection with this financing until such time as
        Alpha and Bristol have each converted 80% of the principal amount of
          their convertible debentures. At the market price of $.09 as of August
     1, 2003, the remaining 100,000 reset options are exercisable into
    approximately 10,600,000 shares of common stock. In May 2003, we
         agreed to modify Alpha's unit investment whereby, in consideration of
         the cancellation of the reset option, we issued a secured convertible
      debenture in the amount $910,120. This debenture bears interest at
        12%, matures two years from the date of issuance, and is convertible
      into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the
      lower of (i) $0.385 or (ii) 70% of the average of the three lowest
          intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for
        the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. At
  the market price of $.09 as of August 1, 2003, the convertible
    debenture is convertible into approximately 14,446,349 shares of
common stock.                                               

o    In June 2002, we issued and sold two convertible notes in the    
          aggregate principal amount of $450,000 and warrants exercisable for up
        to 135,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment, to two
         accredited investors. The debentures bear interest at 12%, mature two
        years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common
          stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.385
          or (ii) 70% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices
      for the common stock on a principal market for the 20 trading days
         before but not including the conversion date. In May 2003, one of the
      investors holding a secured convertible debenture in the amount of
       $200,000 agreed not convert its investment for a per share price of
        less than $.05 per share. In addition, the investor may not sell any
          portion of its shares received in connection with this financing until
 such time as Alpha and Bristol have each converted 80% of the
         principal amount of their convertible debentures. At the market price
          of $.09 as of August 1, 2003, the convertible debenture is convertible
into approximately 7,142,857 shares of common stock.        

o    In May 2003, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
three accredited investors for the sale of (i) $1,000,000 in
       convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 5,000,000 shares of
     our common stock. The debentures bear interest at 12%, mature two
        years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common
         stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $0.05
          or (ii) 65% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices
      for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days
         before but not including the conversion date. The Securities Purchase
      Agreement entered in May 2003 requires that we file an information
     statement or proxy and use our best efforts to obtain stockholder
         approval to increase the Company authorized shares of common stock to
          enable the Company to issue all of the shares of common stock issuable
      in connection with the warrants and secured convertible debentures
         issued in connection with the May 2003 Securities Purchase Agreement.
     At the market price of $.09 as of August 1, 2003, the convertible
    debenture is convertible into approximately 17,094,017 shares of
common stock.                                               

        Stockholders do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe
for or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the 
future, and therefore, future issuances of Common Stock may, depending on the   
circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power   
and other interests of the existing stockholders.                               

CREATION OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK                                         

The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will create 
20,000,000 authorized shares of "blank check" preferred stock. The proposed     
Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation attached as Exhibit "A" to this   

5 

PRER14C 7th Page of 13 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 7th
information statement contains provisions related to the "blank check" preferred
stock. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the proposed Amendment to the Certificate of       
Incorporation as set forth in Exhibit "A."                                      

    The term "blank check" refers to preferred stock, the creation and
issuance of which is authorized in advance by the stockholders and the terms,   
rights and features of which are determined by the board of directors of the    
Company upon issuance. The authorization of such blank check preferred stock    
would permit the board of directors to authorize and issue preferred stock from 
time to time in one or more series.                                             

 Subject to the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation and the limitations prescribed by law, the board of   
directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions
to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares 
constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers,         
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend 
rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms  
of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion
rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the 
preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the         
stockholders. The board of directors would be required to make any determination
to issue shares of preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best         
interests of the Company and its stockholders. The board of directors is seeking
stockholder approval of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which     
would give the board of directors flexibility, without further stockholder      
action, to issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as the board of   
directors deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 The amendment will provide the Company with increased financial
flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of 
security in addition to its Common Stock, as it will allow preferred stock to be
available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by
the board of directors for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that 
such purposes may include exchanging preferred stock for Common Stock and,      
without limitation, may include the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining   
capital for use by the Company, or issuance as part or all of the consideration 
required to be paid by the Company for acquisitions of other businesses or      
assets.                                                                         

         Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain
circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of 
the Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and 
by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of the
Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or    
rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or     
discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender     
offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the board of directors
to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and         
preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to       
acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances   
could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an 
attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an
attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of        
preferred stock to persons friendly to the board of directors could make it more
difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such   
change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.                          

While the amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, the board of directors
believes that the financial flexibility offered by the amendment outweighs any  
disadvantages. To the extent that the amendment may have anti-takeover effects, 
the amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire the Company to negotiate 
directly with the board of directors enabling the board of directors to consider
the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders'         
interests.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:                           

THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING OUR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, RESET 
OPTIONS AND WARRANTS THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND THE SALE OF THESE
SHARES MAY DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.                        

As of August 1, 2003, we had 133,101,672 shares of common stock issued and      
outstanding and convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of     
$3,860,903 outstanding that may be converted into an estimated 61,284,175 shares
of common stock at current market prices, a reset option that the holders are   
entitled to exercise into approximately 10,600,000 shares of common stock at the
price of $.06 and outstanding warrants to purchase 8,715,994 shares of common   
stock. Furthermore, there are currently outstanding 19,743,295 options to       
purchase shares of our common stock. In addition, the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures and    
exercise of the reset option may increase if the market price of our stock      
declines. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon          
conversion of the debentures, exercise of the reset option and upon exercise of 
our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may     
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.                          

THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE         
DEBENTURES COULD REQUIRE US TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER NUMBER OF SHARES,  
WHICH WILL CAUSE DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.                         

   Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible
debentures is essentially limitless. The following is an example of the amount  
of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of all of our  
convertible debentures in the amount of $3,860,903 (excluding accrued interest  
and penalties), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price  
of $0.09 as of August 1, 2003:                                                  

                                                                [Download Table]


                                     Number        % of    
% Below  Price Per  With Discount   of Shares   Outstanding
Market    Share         at 30%      Issuable       Stock   

                                                           
25%      $.0675        $.04725      87,712,233       38.04%
50%      $.045         $.0315      122,568,349       47.94%
75%      $.0225        $.01575     245,136,698       64.81%

    As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of our convertible debentures will increase if the market price of   
our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. In  
the event that the market price of our shares substantially decreases below the 
current market price, we may not have an adequate number of shares of common    
stock to support the conversion of all of our convertible debentures. For       
example, as of August 1, 2003, we had 133,101,672 shares of common stock        
outstanding. If the price of our common stock were to decrease to $.0225 or 75% 
below our current market price of $.09, then we would be obligated to issue     
245,136,698 shares of common stock upon conversion of all of our outstanding    
convertible debentures, which may require the issuance of shares of common stock
in excess of our authorized shares of common stock of 400,000,000. We will be in
default under the convertible debentures if we are not able to fully satisfy the
conversion due to the unavailability of shares of common stock.                 

THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE         
DEBENTURES MAY ENCOURAGE INVESTORS TO MAKE SHORT SALES IN OUR COMMON STOCK,     
WHICH COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.          

      The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common
stock at a 65% or 70% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to
the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common    
stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common  
stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further        

7 

PRER14C 9th Page of 13 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 9th
downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The selling stockholder     
could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short   
sale by converting their securities, which could cause the further downward     
pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued    
upon conversion or exercise of debentures, warrants and options, but also the   
mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market   
price of the common stock.                                                      

THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, EXERCISE  
OF THE RESET OPTION AND EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND
SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.                              

       The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures,
exercise of the reset option and exercise of warrants may result in substantial 
dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders  
may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although
the selling stockholders may not convert their convertible debentures and/or    
exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own  
more than 9.99%, and 4.99% with respect to Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd.'s      
December 2001 secured convertible debenture, of our outstanding common stock,   
this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholders from converting      
and/or exercising some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their  
holdings. In this way, the selling stockholders could sell more than this limit 
while never holding more than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number 
of shares that may be issued which will have the effect of further diluting the 
proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock,  
including investors in this offering.                                           

IN THE EVENT THAT OUR STOCK PRICE DECLINES, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ALLOCATED
FOR CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE IF THE SHARES  
WE HAVE ALLOCATED ARE NOT ADEQUATE AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO FILE AN ADDITIONAL    
REGISTRATION STATEMENT, WE MAY INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. 

Based on our current market price and the potential decrease in our market price
as a result of the issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible        
debentures, we have made a good faith estimate as to the amount of shares of    
common stock that we are required to register and allocate for conversion of the
convertible debentures. Accordingly, we have allocated and registered           
145,954,348 shares to cover the conversion of the convertible debentures. In the
event that our stock price decreases, the shares of common stock we have        
allocated for conversion of the convertible debentures and are registering may  
not be adequate. If the shares we have allocated to the registration statement  
are not adequate and we are required to file an additional registration         
statement, we may incur substantial costs in connection with the preparation and
filing of such registration statement.                                          

IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO REPAY OUR OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE          
DEBENTURES, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEPLETE OUR WORKING CAPITAL, IF AVAILABLE,  
OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. OUR FAILURE TO REPAY THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, IF  
REQUIRED, COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US, WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE SALE 
OF SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS.                                                          

Since December 2001, we have sold of an aggregate of $3,860,903 principal amount
of convertible debentures. The convertible debentures are due and payable, with 
12% interest, two-years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into 
shares of our common stock. In addition, any event of default such as our       
failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares
of common stock upon conversion by the holder, our failure to timely file a     
registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective,  
breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the related Securities    
Purchase Agreements, the assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a   
substantial part of our property or business, the filing of a money judgment,   
writ or similar process against our company in excess of $50,000, the           
commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation         
proceeding against our company or the delisting of our common stock could       
require the early repayment of the convertible debentures, including a default  
interest rate of 15% on the outstanding principal balance of the debentures if  
the default is not cured with the specified grace period. We anticipate that the

8 

PRER14C 10th Page of 13 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 10th
full amount of the convertible debentures, together with accrued interest, will 
be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of   
the convertible debentures. If we are required to repay the convertible         
debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise   
additional funds. If we were unable to repay the debentures when required, the  
debenture holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of
our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to      
curtail or cease operations.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
AMNIS SYSTEMS INC.

     The undersigned, being the Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of
AMNIS SYSTEMS INC., a corporation existing under the laws of the State of       
Delaware, does hereby certify under the seal of the said corporation as follows:

1. The name of the Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Corporation") is Amnis Systems, Inc. The date of filing the original           
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware was July   
28, 1998. The date of the filing of the First Certificate of Amendment to the   
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware was    
August 24, 2000. The date of the filing of the Second Certificate of Amendment  
to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware 
was September 13, 2000. The date of the filing of the Third Certificate of      
Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of
Delaware was June 21, 2002.                                                     

  2. The certificate of incorporation of the Corporation is hereby
amended by replacing Article Fourth, in its entirety, with the following:       

       "FOURTH: The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock.
         One class of stock shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001. The second
 class of stock shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. The
       Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, shall have such designations,
    preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
         rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall
       be expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue
 of such stock adopted by the board of directors and may be made
dependent upon facts ascertainable outside such resolution or 
    resolutions of the board of directors, provided that the matter in
     which such facts shall operate upon such designations, preferences,
         rights and qualifications; limitations or restrictions of such class or
         series of stock is clearly and expressly set forth in the resolution or
      resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock by the board of
directors.
