approved by Nasdaq), effective at the close of business the same date. Mechanically, the transfer
agent effects the forward split immediately on the books of the Company&#146;s transfer agent as of the
Effective Date. Existing certificates held by shareholders will continue to represent pre-split
shares and the effect of the forward split will occur electronically. Additionally, certificates
representing the post-split shares will be sent out to the shareholders of record by the Company&#146;s
stock transfer agent.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>REASONS FOR THE FORWARD STOCK SPLIT</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board believes that by giving effect to a forward split, the resulting increase in the
number of shares outstanding is likely to improve the volume and liquidity of the Company&#146;s shares.
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>POTENTIAL RISKS OF THE FORWARD STOCK SPLIT</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There can be no assurance that the price of our Common Stock will continue at a level in
proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the forward stock
split and that the market price of the post-split Common Stock will be maintained. The market price
of our Common Stock will also be based on our performance and other factors, many of which are
unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the forward stock split is effected and the
market price of our Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a
percentage of our overall capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a
forward stock split.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the forward stock split, each holder of shares of our Common Stock as of the Effective Date will become a holder of a greater number of shares our Common Stock after consummation of the forward stock split.
</DIV>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>ACCOUNTING MATTERS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The forward stock split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the
effective date of the forward stock split, the stated par value capital on our balance sheet
attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced and the additional paid-in capital account shall
be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or
loss and net book value per share of our Common Stock will be decreased because there will be
greater shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of the record date the Company will have the authority to issue a maximum of 10,000,000
shares of Common Stock. As of the record date, there will be
approximately 8,350,000 shares of our
Common Stock issued and outstanding, or held as treasury shares. Our
present number of authorized shares is insufficient to issue the
shares issuable upon the stock split. Therefore, the Board of Directors and
shareholders have approved an amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares, subject to
the notice provisions disclosed herein. The number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, or held as treasury
shares, will be increased as a result of the forward stock split to a
number that will be approximately equal to the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and
outstanding, or held as treasury shares, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the forward
stock split.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the forward stock split, there is normally a decrease in the number of
authorized shares which would be unissued and available for future issuance after the forward stock
split. However, this condition will not exist in this case due to the Board of Directors&#146; and
shareholders&#146; simultaneous action approving an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to
increase our authorized Common Stock to 20,000,000 shares. The increase in available shares
could be used for any proper corporate purpose approved by the Board including, among other
purposes, financing future transactions.

</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors on June&nbsp;8, 2006 voted to increase the amount of authorized shares from
10,000,000 to 20,000,000 shares and to approve an amendment to the Company&#146;s Articles of
Incorporation to effect such increase, subject to shareholder consent. Such shareholder consent
has been received, subject to the notice provisions of the Illinois Business Corporation Act for
shareholder consents executed by less than all shareholders entitled
to vote thereon.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With the exception of the number of shares issued and outstanding, or held as treasury shares,
the rights and preferences of the shares of our Common Stock prior and subsequent to the forward
stock split will remain the same. Following the Effective Date of the forward stock split, it is
not anticipated that our financial condition, the percentage ownership of management, the number of
our shareholders, or any aspect of our current business would materially change as a result of the
forward stock split.

the Company has no plans or intentions to utilize such incremental
shares authorized for any corporate purpose at this time.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The forward stock split will be effected simultaneously for all of our Common Stock and the

interests in the Company. Fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock
issued and outstanding prior to the forward stock split will remain
fully paid and non-assessable after such split.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result of a forward stock split, there is normally an increase in the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding, or held as treasury shares, and an associated decrease in
the number of authorized shares which would be unissued and available for future issuance after the
forward stock split. However, because we are increasing the number of
shares authorized for issuance, we will not experience such a
decrease.

<DIV align="left"><FONT size="1">

</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under
certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that
would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in composition of our Board
or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with
another company), the forward stock split proposal is not being proposed in response to any effort
of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of Common Stock or obtain control of us, nor is it
part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to our Board and
shareholders. Other than the forward stock split proposal, our Board does not currently contemplate
recommending the adoption of any other amendments to our Articles of Incorporation that could be
construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of the Company.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practices in effect on the
date of this Information Statement. This discussion is for general information only and does not
discuss consequences that may apply to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-resident aliens,
broker-dealers, or insurance companies). Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors
to determine the particular consequences to them.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The receipt of the Common Stock following the effective date of the forward stock split,
solely in exchange for the Common Stock held prior to the forward stock split will not generally
result in a recognition of gain or loss to the shareholders. The adjusted tax basis of a
shareholder in the Common Stock received after the forward stock split will be the same as the
adjusted tax basis of the Common Stock held prior to the forward stock split exchanged therefore,
and the holding period of the Common Stock received after the forward stock split will include the
holding period of the Common Stock held prior to the forward stock split exchanged therefore. No
gain or loss will be recognized by the Company as a result of the forward stock split.
