14A Item 10. Compensation Plans
On May 9, 1995 the Company filed an S-8 Registration
Statement (Registration No. 33-92316) with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which registered for public trading
3,000,000 shares of common stock potentially issuable under the
Company's Stock Option Plan. This Stock Option Plan was created
to provide incentives to those individuals who serve or have
served the Company as employees, officers, directors or
consultants. Under the Plan, the Board of Directors is
authorized to grant options to the individuals, in its
discretion, that have contributed or will contribute to the well
being of the Company, and to fix the price at which these options
may be exercised and the length of time between the granting of
the options and their exercise by the individual recipients.
Generally, the purchase price selected by the Board is the market
price of the stock on the day that the options are granted, so
that the options are of value only if the Company's stock
appreciates in value.
The Board granted options to a number of individuals
identified in the 14C filing lodged with the SEC on December 7,
1995. All of the options granted had exercise prices equal to
the market price on the date of the grant. If the options that
were granted are not exercised within their approved time
periods, they will then revert to the Company and may be reissued
to other individuals. Of the 3,000,000 options granted, 737,238
have been exercised as of the date of this filing. The
expiration date on the remainder of those original options would
be September 1, 2002, pursuant to information set forth in the
December 7, 1995 14C filing, and the amendment to that Plan filed
on April 2, 1998, the further amendments filed February 17,
1999, April 8, 2002, and July 11, 2002. The company has determined
that an extension of the September 1, 2002 exercise date is in order
and would be beneficial to the company, and that the exercise price
for these options, at $0.8125 per share is still at or above the market price.
The proposal approved by a majority of the shares eligible
to vote was the granting of an extension of the time in which to
exercise the options to December 31, 2002, for those individuals
or entities that have as yet not exercised their rights. The
recipients are as set forth on the list below:

If you have any questions or would like a copy of the 1995
Stock Option Plan or the Company's filings with the SEC, please
contact the Company at 11300 Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California 90064., and copies of the information will be provided
at your request, at no additional charge to you.
Under the Plan provisions as acted upon by the directors of
the Company, none of the options available to have been issued
were issued to any officers, directors, or nominees to be directors
or officers, and specifically to any named executives under Item 402(a)(3)
or Regulation S-B.
The exercise price, per share, is $0.8125 for all of the
options indicated
above, and the individuals have until December 31, 2002, in which to exercise
all or a portion of the options granted to them. Upon exercise of the above
options by all of the optionees, the Company would receive a total of $1,837,681.63.
Exercise by any amount less than all of the options granted to all of the optionees
would result in a lower payment to the Company.
C.J. Newman was originally granted approximately 83% of the
available options
in consideration of his services as a business and financial consultant to the Company.
Mr. Newman analyzed and identified target companies for purposes of a merger,
negotiated rearrangement of the Company's financial affairs with existing creditors
in preparation for the merger, aided the Company in disposing of its remaining assets
following the merger, and continues to provide advice to the Company through to the present
date.
At the date of the grant of this extension, the value of the
options (or extension of the
options) granted to all of the above recipients was zero since the grant included an exercise price
equal to the market price on the date of the grant. As of the date of this Information Statement,
the market price is lower than the exercise price of these options, and they therefore have yet
to develop any value. Any common stock resulting from an exercise of option rights
under this plan will not be "qualified" options under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code, and therefore, the recipients of the resulting stock will be deemed for federal
income tax purposes to recognize ordinary income during the taxable year in which the
first of the following events occurs: (a) the shares become freely transferrable, or
(b) the shares cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly,
these individuals will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the
fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt, less any sums paid to exercise
the options, since there will be no restrictions on them and no substantial risk of forfeiture.
Any sums recognized as income to the optionees will be similarly deductible to the Company
as compensation paid to that individual during the taxable year in which the recipient
recognizes income.
Items 7, 9, 11, 12, through 20, and 22 of the 14A proxy statement are inapplicable
to this information statement.
This proposal was voted on by 17,500,000 voting common shares, after allowance
for conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares (representing common votes of
20,896,500 shares) and 1,229,427 Common Shares, with favorable votes being received
of 17,500,000, for a cumulative vote of 78.65% of the shares entitled to vote. A vote of greater
than 50.01% was sufficient to adopt the proposal.
Item 2. Statement That Proxies Are Not Solicited
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED
NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
Item 3. Interest of Certain Persons in or Opposition to Matters
to be Acted Upon.
There are no officers or directors who have an interest in
the proposal and no officers or directors were granted any
options under the Plan as approved by the Board of Directors.
All options initially registered have been granted, and no
additional share rights remain unissued.
Item 4. Proposals by Security Holders
No proposals in opposition to this proposal were received by
the Company.
