COMMON STOCK
NOTE 5 – COMMON STOCK
 
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. There were 32,519,433 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2011.
 
On May 18, 2010, the Company affected a 1 for 1,000 reverse split of its common stock.  In lieu of issuing fractional shares resulting from the split, the Company paid cash equal to $18.50 per share to each shareholder that would have received less than one share as a result of the reverse split, and rounded up all other fractional shares to the next whole number.  The Company’s principal purpose in effecting a large reverse split was to eliminate many small shareholders to reduce future administrative costs.  As a result of the reverse split, the Company cancelled 32,202 pre-split shares and eliminated 586 shareholders, which left the Company with about 100 total shareholders.  The purchase price for the fractional shares was equal to the last trading price of the common stock as the date the Company approved the reverse split, adjusted for the 1 for 1,000 reverse split.
 
On May 6, 2010, the Company’s board of directors passed resolutions to amend its Articles of Incorporation to (1) change the Company’s name to “Next Generation Energy Corp.” and (2) increase the authorized shares of common stock back to 50,000,000 shares from the 50,000 shares that resulted from the reverse split described above.  The amendments were effective July 23, 2010.
