ROLE OF THE BOARD

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Compensation Committee consists of the following members: Mr. Levine and Mr. Yakatan. Mr. Levine serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.

PROPOSAL 2: TO CONSIDER AND VOTE UPON A PROPOSAL TO
AMEND THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO AUTHORIZE THE CREATION OF 600,000,000 SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
(ITEM 2 ON THE PROXY CARD)

On December 14, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to replace Sections 4.01 and 4.02 in there entirety, which will result in an increase to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, currently authorizes for issuance of 170,000,000 shares consisting of 150,000,000 of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The approval of this amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock to 750,000,000. The Board believes that the increase in authorized common shares would provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company’s capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financing and stock based acquisitions. Sections 4.01 and 4.02 would be amended to read as follows and would be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State:
 
“4.01                           Authorized Capital Stock.  The total number of shares of stock this Corporation is authorized to issue shall be seven hundred and seventy million (770,000,000) shares.  This stock shall be divided into two classes to be designated as “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.”
 
4.02                           Common Stock.  The total number of authorized shares of Common Stock shall be seven hundred and fifty million (750,000,000) shares with par value of $.001 per share.  Each share of Common stock when issued, shall have one (1) vote on all matters presented to the stockholders.”

The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized common stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.

As of March 7, 2006, a total of 126,486,518 shares of the Company's currently authorized 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.

PURPOSE OF INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Except for the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the callable secured convertible notes issued or issuable and warrants exercised pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered with four investors on June 14, 2005, there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of common stock which are proposed to be authorized.

Convertible Note/Warrant Financing

To obtain funding for ongoing operations the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd. and AJW Partners, LLC on June 14, 2005 for the sale of (i) $2,000,000 in callable secured convertible notes and (ii) stock purchase warrants to buy 7,692,308 shares of our common stock.
 
 
8

 
 
·  
On June 15, 2005, the investors purchased $700,000 in callable secured convertible notes and received warrants to purchase 2,692,307 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
·  
On August 18, 2005, the investors purchased $600,000 in callable secured convertible notes and received warrants to purchase 2,307,692 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
·  
On August 30, 2005, the investors purchased $700,000 in callable secured convertible notes and received warrants to purchase 2,692,307 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Notes bear interest at 10%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and, subject to the filing of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing its authorized stock, are convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.40 or (ii) 50% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date. As of February 28, 2006, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 20 trading days as reported on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board was $.0184 and, therefore, the conversion price for the secured convertible notes was $.009. As of February 28, 2006 the outstanding principal for the foregoing notes is $1,529,688, therefore based on this conversion price, the callable secured convertible notes, excluding interest, would be convertible into 166,270,435 shares of our common stock.

We may prepay the callable secured convertible notes in the event that no event of default exists, there are a sufficient number of shares available for conversion of the callable secured convertible notes and the market price is at or below $.40 per share. The full principal amount of the callable secured convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of callable secured convertible notes. In addition, the Company has granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of its assets and intellectual property.

The Warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.45 per share. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants is adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market.

The investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the callable secured convertible notes and exercise the warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

General
 
Because holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized Common Stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.

The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.

 
9

 
 
The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti- takeover device.
 
The Company has no present plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.

The Board has appointed Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock, to file with the SEC the initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments thereto, furnished to the Company during fiscal year 2005, the Company is not aware of any director, officer or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock that, during fiscal year 2005, failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

POLICY WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), provides that, unless an appropriate exemption applies, a tax deduction for the Company for compensation of certain executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table will not be allowed to the extent such compensation in any taxable year exceeds $1 million. As no executive officer of the Company received compensation during 2004 approaching $1 million, and the Company does not believe that any executive officer's compensation is likely to exceed $1 million in 2005, the Company has not developed an executive compensation policy with respect to qualifying compensation paid to its executive officers for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth information concerning the total compensation that we have paid or that has accrued on behalf of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers with annual compensation exceeding $100,000 during fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003.

In August 2004, we paid $100,000 and issued warrants to purchase 2,670,000 shares, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, of our common stock to Duncan Capital Group LLC as compensation for acting as our financial advisor in connection with the Merger.  In August 2004, we paid $77,000 and issued warrants to purchase 411,104 shares of our common stock to Duncan Capital LLC as compensation for acting as our placement agent in connection with the sale of our units in a private financing.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.1835 per share. Both Duncan Capital LLC and Duncan Capital Group LLC are affiliates of Bridges & Pipes LLC, which is one of our stockholders.  Michael Crow, the brother of Kevin Crow, who was one of our directors, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Duncan Capital Group LLC, which is our financial advisor, and a manager of Bridges &Pipes LLC. In November 2004, 2,403,000 warrants were exercised by Duncan Capital Group. In March 2005, we issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.40 to DCOFI in connection with bridge financing.

Seroctin advanced funds interest free to Impact Diagnostics during 2004, such that the receivable became a small payable. In December 2004, Impact made a payment of $1,220 to Seroctin, so that at year-end 2004 neither company owed the other. From time to time since 1999, Seroctin Research & Technology has leased office facilities from Impact Diagnostics, pursuant to a verbal agreement.  Seroctin Research & Technology has made payments to Impact Diagnostics of between $1,500 and $2,764 each month (approximately $55,000 in the aggregate since 1999) it has leased such facilities. In September 2004, Impact Diagnostics moved into its own office space.

In 2002, Impact Diagnostics paid management and consulting fees of $114,560 to WetCor, Inc. In 2002 and 2003, Impact Diagnostics advanced $11,922 and $7,820, respectively, to WetCor, Inc. Michael Ahlin, a director and Vice President, is the President of WetCor, Inc  The $7,820 of advances receivable on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 was written off by Impact Diagnostics in January 2004. After June 2004, there were no further transactions between the two companies and neither company owed the other.

In 2002 and 2003, Impact Diagnostics received advances of $10,000 and $20,000 from Blaine Taylor, pursuant to a non-interest bearing demand note. Mr. Taylor beneficially currently owns 6.4% of our outstanding capital stock.  As of December 31, 2003, the amount outstanding under the note was approximately $16,500.  Effective July 30, 2004, this note was converted to 89,918 shares of our common stock.

In 2001, Mitchell Godfrey loaned Impact Diagnostics $50,000, pursuant to a 5% unsecured promissory note.  Mr. Godfrey beneficially owns 6.9% of our outstanding capital stock.  As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the amount outstanding under the note was $29,279.  Effective July 30, 2004, this note, excluding accrued interest which was forgiven by Mr. Godfrey, was converted into 159,557 shares of our common stock.

With the exception of the advances to officers, on which no interest was due, we believe that these transactions were on terms as favorable as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions we enter into with our directors, executive officers and other affiliated persons will be on terms no less favorable to us than can be obtained from an unaffiliated party and will be approved by a majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors, and who had access, at our expense, to our or independent legal counsel.
