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, 738,238 have been exercised as of
the date of this filing. The expiration date on the remainder of those original
options would be December 31, 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, July 11,
2002, August 22, 2002 and December 26, 2003. The company has determined
that an extension of the December 31, 2003 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 March 31, 2004, 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, 2003, 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
transferable,
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 un-issued.
Item 4. Proposals by Security Holders
No proposals in opposition to this proposal were received by the Company.
