Memorandum

TO:

FROM: JEFFREY R. MATSEN

DATE:

RE: POST-INCORPORATION PROCEDURES

The legal formalities of setting up and establishing your corporation have now been completed. Your

Articles of Incorporation have been filed in the Office of the California Secretary of State; your By-laws

have been adopted; your corporate Minutes have been prepared and properly executed, and the records

of the issuance of your shares of stock are completed.

The transition of your business to a corporation may seem to be a little foreign and somewhat com-

plex to you. To facilitate this transition, we suggest that you read this Memorandum and keep it easily

accessible for future reference.

1. The Articles of Incorporation are the essential legal document that serves as a charter from the State

of California for you to operate as a corporation. They are very broad and general in nature and would

only require amendment in the event of a change of name or some sort of a substantial capital reorganiza-

tion of the corporation.
