Now I know why the MM's put the brakes on ELCC at .59. I got suspicious when I
saw some blocks going off in the 64ths. Usually the sign of a Reg S. I was right after
checking Edgar....

ITEM 9. SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S
------- ---------------------------------------------------
On January 20, 1998, the Registrant consummated the sale for
$4,500,000 in gross cash proceeds of 45 shares of a newly designated Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"). The Preferred Shares were
sold to a limited group of non-U.S. persons in an offshore securities offering
effectuated in reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") pursuant to the exemption afforded by
Regulation S promulgated under the Act. Each purchaser represented among other
matters that it was a non-U.S. person, that it was experienced in financial and
business matters, that at the time its purchase order originated, it was outside
the United States, and that it was purchasing the Preferred Shares for its own
account for investment and not with a view toward resale or distribution.
Domain Investments, Inc. served as placement agent for the
offering and was paid a placement fee equal to 13% of the offering proceeds.
The Preferred Shares do not contain voting rights. Holders of
the Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a 10% cumulative annual dividend
payable in semi-annual installments commencing July 1, 1998, in cash, or at the
Registrant's option, in shares of the Registrant's common stock valued at a 35%
discount from the average closing bid price for the common stock in the
over-the-counter market for the five trading days immediately preceding the
dividend payment date.
The Preferred Shares are convertible, in whole or in part, at
any time at the holder's election commencing fifty (50) days after issuance of
the Preferred Shares into shares of the Registrant's common stock at an initial
conversion price equal to a 25% discount from the average closing bid price for
the common stock in the over-the-counter market for the five trading days
immediately preceding the conversion as reported by The National Quotation
Bureau, said discount thereafter increasing at the rate of 2% per calendar month
commencing March 1, 1998 up to a maximum discount of 35%. No fractional shares
or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the
number of shares issuable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The
Registrant has no ability to force conversion but 24 months after issuance of
the Preferred Shares, any outstanding Preferred Shares will automatically
convert into shares of common stock based on the Conversion Formula then in
effect.
