MOSS some schmuck sold at the close, LOL ugly spread, but the ask of .52 is nice. :-). From the SB10 Shares Eligible for Future Sale Of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of September 15, 1999, the Company had outstanding 18,815,000 shares of common of which approximately 10,535,000 are free trading shares , and approximately 7,580,000 shares are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 adopted under the Act ("Restricted Securities"). Rule 144 governs resales of Restricted Securities for the account of any person, other than an issuer, and restricted and unrestricted securities for the account of an "affiliate" of the issuer. Restricted securities generally include any securities acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer or its affiliates which were not issued or sold in connection with a public offering registered under the Securities Act. An affiliate of the issuer is any person who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer. Affiliates of the Company may include its directors, executive officers, and persons directly or indirectly owning 10% or more of the outstanding common stock. Under Rule 144, unregistered resales of restricted common stock cannot be made until it has been held for one year from the later of its acquisition from the Company or an affiliate of the Company. Thereafter, shares of common stock may be resold without registration subject to Rule 144's volume limitation, aggregation, broker transaction, notice filing requirements, and requirements concerning publicly available information about the Company ("Applicable Requirements"). Resales by the Company's affiliates of restricted and unrestricted common stock are subject to the Applicable Requirements. The volume limitations provide that a person, or persons who must aggregate their sales, cannot, within any three-month period, sell more than the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares, or (ii) the average weekly reported trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding each such sale. A person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of the Company and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years would be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the Applicable Requirements. The Company believes that approximately no shares of its restricted common stock have been held for more than two years, and therefore may not be sold by non-affiliates without limitation. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares of common stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market would likely have a material adverse effect on prevailing market prices for the common stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities.
