"Management recommended that a ratio of 1-to-500 would reduce the number of record shareholders to a level sufficiently below 300 to allow adequate margin for any increase in the number of shareholders that might occur prior to or after the effectiveness of a reverse stock split (for example, as a result of holders with shares in “street name” requesting that share certificates be issued in their own name, or persons other than current shareholders acquiring shares)."

"The Reverse/Forward Stock Split will not affect holdings of Common Stock held by shareholders in “street name” through a nominee (such as a bank or broker).  Nominees may have different procedures, and shareholders holding Common Stock in street name should contact their nominees to determine if and how they will be affected by the Reverse/Forward Stock Split."

"A stockholder holding fewer than 65,000 shares of Common Stock in street name who wants to receive cash in the Reverse/Forward Stock Split should instruct his, her or its nominee to transfer such stockholder’s shares into a record account in such stockholder’s name by June 15, 2007 to ensure that such stockholder will be considered a holder of record prior to the Effective Date of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split." 5/18/2007 Price closed at $0.034 on 5/18/2007. "As of November 15, 2007, Apollo Resources International, Inc. (the “Company”) has not completed its “going private transaction”.
