The enclosed Proxy is solicited on behalf of Tabatha II, Inc., (the "Company") for use at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Thursday, October 11, 2007, at 3:00 p.m., local time, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The Annual Meeting will be held at 4001 Discovery Lane, Boulder, Colorado 80303. The Company's principal executive office is located at 1926 S. Oswego Way, Aurora, Colorado 80014. The Company's telephone number is (303) 752-4637.
These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about September 21, 2007, to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
Record Date
Shareholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2007 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting. As of the Record Date, 8,442,400shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. No shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the meeting and voting in person.
Voting and Solicitation
Every shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common on each proposal or item that comes before the meeting.
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the Company's President, who will serve as the Inspector of Elections, or another person designated by him (the "Inspector"). The Inspector will also determine whether or not a quorum is present. In general, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present is required under Colorado law for approval of proposals presented to shareholders. The Company's Bylaws provide that a quorum consists of the holders of one-third of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote and present or represented by proxy at the meeting.
Any proxy that is returned using the form of proxy enclosed and that is not marked as to a particular item will be voted for the election of all of the Company's director nominees named herein, for ratification of the appointment of the designated independent auditors, and as the proxy holders deem advisable on other matters that may properly come before the meeting. If a broker indicates on the enclosed proxy or its substitute that it does not have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter ("broker non-votes"), those shares will not be considered as present with respect to that matter.
Preliminary Copy
- 3 -
The Inspector will treat express abstentions as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not treat express abstentions as votes in favor of approving any matter submitted to shareholders for a vote.
The Company believes that the tabulation procedures to be followed by the Inspector are consistent with the general statutory requirements in Colorado concerning voting of shares and determination of a quorum.
The cost of this solicitation will be borne by the Company. The Company may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Certain of the Company's directors, officers, and employees, without additional compensation, also may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, letter or facsimile.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Company anticipates that the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held in October 2008. Therefore, proposals of stockholders of the Company which are intended to be presented by such stockholders at the Company's 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company no later than June 1, 2008 (approximately 120 days before the meeting), in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE OF THE AUTHORIZED PREFERRED SHARES.
PROPOSAL FIVE
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION FOR ACTION BY NON-UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT
On September 10, 2007, the Board of Directors unanimously approved, and recommends that the stockholders approve, a proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to consist of a new Article Ninth in order to allow action by non-unanimous written consent of shareholders whenever shareholder action is required. The Colorado Business Corporation Act, as amended on July 1, 2006, only permits shareholder action less than all shareholders if such is permitted by the Articles of Incorporation. The Company’s Bylaws have always permitted shareholder actions by majority consent.
This amendment will eliminate the need for a costly meeting of shareholders with respect to matters which would be assured of passage at any shareholders meeting. The new Article Ninth is proposed to read as follows:
“Unless these Articles of Incorporation require that an action be taken at a shareholders' meeting or unless shares are entitled to be voted cumulatively in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the corporation may be authorized by written consent of fewer than all the voting shares. The consent must be obtained from the same number of voting shares as would be needed to authorize such action at a meeting if all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. If shares are entitled to be voted cumulatively in the election of directors, shareholders may take action to elect or remove directors without a meeting only if these Articles of Incorporation do not require that such action be taken at a shareholders' meeting, and all of the shareholders entitle to vote in the election or removal sign writings describing and consenting to the election or removal of the same directors."
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO PERMIT SHAREHOLDER ACTIONS BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESS THAN ALL SHAREHOLDERSPROPOSAL SIX
