as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Securities and Exchange Commission (the

closing of the Merger (as that term is defined below), we had 3,806,221 shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding, all of which shares are entitled to one
vote per share on all matters for which stockholders are entitled to vote.
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS

INTRODUCTION
This information statement pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended is being circulated to the shareholders of MarketShare
Recovery, Inc., in connection with the proposed merger ("Merger") of MarketShare
Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub") with
bioMetrx, Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("bioMetrx") pursuant to
that Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company, Merger Sub and
bioMetrx (the "Merger Agreement"). We are a reporting company pursuant to the
Exchange Act of 1934 dated April 27, 2005, as amended.
THE TRANSACTIONS
We authorized the issuance of 14,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to the
holders of bioMetrx common stock on May 26, 2005. Subject to the fulfillment or
waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, we will issue at
this closing (the "Effective Date") 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the
bioMetrx holders, each holder of warrants or options to acquire shares of
bioMetrx, of which there are approximately 402,500 outstanding, will receive
corresponding instruments in MarketShare being substantially the same rights,
preferences and privileges as the original instrument represents. As a result of
the Merger, bioMetrx will be merged into Merger Sub and became our wholly owned
subsidiary as survivor of the Merger.
Simultaneously with the Merger Mr. Timothy Schmidt, a former officer and
director of the Company and Mr. Raymond Barton (whose resignation as an officer
and director will be effective upon MarketShare's compliance with Rule 14f-1 and
the seating of the nominees) surrendered an aggregate of 2,208,521 shares of
MarketShare's Common Stock, such shares to be cancelled and returned to the
status of authorized and unissued shares ("Cancelled Shares"). Additionally,
300,000 shares of MarketShare's Common Sock will be deposited into escrow to
satisfy a portion of MarketShare's outstanding indebtedness.
As a result of the foregoing, the 14,000,000 shares and 402,500 warrants and
options to be issued will represent (assuming the exercise of the warrant and
options) as part of the Merger approximately 90% of our total outstanding Common
Stock.
CHANGES IN MAJORITY OF DIRECTORS
Under the Merger Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein, on the
Effective Date, Timothy Schmidt will resign as an officer and director and the
following will be appointed by Raymond Barton to serve as directors effective

Bachelor of Arts Degree in criminal justice from New York City Police Academy in
1991.
Prior to the Merger, MarketShare only had two directors, each of whom were
executive officers and therefore not independent. Since MarketShare's securities
are not traded on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, and had limited
operations, no employees and no salary, its two directors determined that they
would neither form committees nor recruit independent directors. Accordingly the
entire board consisting of Mr. Raymond Barton and Mr. Timothy Schmidt performed
the functions customarily assigned to audit and nominating committees. The
entire board considered the terms of the merger transaction as well as the
qualifications of the nominees of bioMetrx. New management is considering
organizing an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and
adopting written charters for each committee which will include standards for
director independence consistent with MarketShare's ability to attract
independent directors and the listing requirements applicable to the company's
securities, if any.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, MarketShare's board did not have
any formal meetings. All corporate action required to be approved by the board
was documented by written consent.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors,
and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission. These
reporting persons also are required to furnish us with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of these reports or written
representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, and during the current fiscal year, all
filing requirements applicable to the Company's officers, directors,
greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act were met.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On June 13, 2003 the Company, formerly known as Health & Leisure entered into an
Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with
MarketShare Recovery, Inc., a New York corporation. In connection with said
merger, a Promissory Note was delivered to H & L Concepts, Inc. ("H & L") by
MarketShare Recovery, the New York corporation. H & L was previously a
subsidiary of the registrant but at the time of the making of the Note, to the
best of our knowledge, was solely owned by Mr. Robert Feldman, the Company's
former president, CEO, chairman. The Promissory Note constituted partial payment
for a controlling interest in the Company, previously owned by Mr. Feldman, Mr.
Ray Barton and Mr. Tim Schmidt, the Company's current executive officers and
directors have since purchased the Promissory Note from H & L for the full value
of the Note, in accordance with the terms of the Note. The Company and Messrs.
Barton and Schmidt have since ratified the non-material parts of the Note to
reflect their ownership and addresses. A release agreement was signed between
the Company and the holders in March 2005, which was retroactively effective to
December 31, 2004. According to the agreement, the holders released the Company
from further obligation under this loan, including principle balance of $5,985,
accrued interest of $17,439, and legal fees of $12,300. As a result, at December
31, 2004, the amount due to holders was $0.
8
On November 25, 2003 Dominix, Inc. a Delaware corporation traded on NASDAQ
electronic bulletin board (DMNX), Jade Entertainment Group, a company controlled
by Messrs. Barton and Schmidt the executive officers, directors and controlling
shareholders of our Company and our Company entered into a series of agreements.
Upon execution of the agreements Jade and DMNX are to merge and Our Company was
to enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") under
which Dominix, subject to certain conditions, would acquire all of the
outstanding capital stock of our wholly owned New York subsidiary also named
MarketShare Recovery, Inc. ("MarketShare Sub"). The parties have determined that
it is in their mutual best interest to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement
and the MarketShare Sub is not to be sold. In consideration of the dissolution
and release of any claims against the Company, we have entered into an agreement
with DMNX to license certain portions of our opt-in database for a fixed term.
Sub-lease Agreement. Beginning January 1, 2004, the Company entered into a sub
lease agreement with 110 Media Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly known as
Dominix) ("110 Media Group") to share the expense of office facilities occupied
by them jointly under a lease held by the Company. In August 2004, 110 Media
Group assumed the lease for corporate headquarters.
On July 15, 2003 we acquired MarketShare Recovery, Inc. in a merger in
accordance with the acquisition agreement and plan of merger dated June 13,
2003. In connection with this transaction, we issued an aggregate of 237,847
shares of our common stock to Raymond Barton, our Chief Executive Officer
118,924, and Timothy Schmidt, our Chief Financial Officer 118,923. The issuance
of these shares is claimed to be exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") for transactions not
involving a public offering.
In 2004, we entered into a database license agreement with 110 Media Group to
use and to sublicense the use of its database for a term of ten years for a
total license fee of $45,567. For financial reporting, revenue is recognized
using the straight-line method, based upon the economic useful life of three
years. At December 31, 2004, our remaining deferred revenue of $30,378 was
recognized as revenue due to the Company completing its obligations under the
agreement and we are no longer required to perform any further services nor
incur any costs related to this agreement.
