A publicly held Delaware corporation

         Minutes of Special Meeting of Board of Directors

  A special  meeting of the Board of Directors for Equity Growth  Systems,  inc.
(the "Board" and the "Company," respectively),  was held by telephone conference
on December 8, 1998, at 10:30 A.M.,  after provision of notice to all members by
telephone and facsimile  transmission.  A copy of such notice is appended hereto
as exhibit "A".  All exhibits  were  provided to the  participants  by facsimile
transmission.

     The following  Directors were present at the telephone  conference  meeting
held on December 8, 1998: Mr. Scimeca, Mr. Joffe, Ms. Field, Mr. Chamberlin.

     The following  Directors  were absent:  Mr.  Edward "Ted"  Granville-Smith.
Unable to attend for health reasons.

  The meeting was called for the following purposes:

  1)   Adopting, Ratifying, Confirming New By-Laws and Repealing old By-Laws,.

     Wherefore,  It appears by the  records of the  Corporation  that  confusion
exists as to the By- Laws presently in operation for the Company;

     Wherefore,  It appears that the former Sole Director of the Company, due to
illness,  is unable clarify the confusion that exists with regard to the By-Laws
in operation;

     Wherefore,  it appears that the last  By-Laws of record were those  By-Laws
filed on Form 10- K for the fiscal year ending  December 31,  1991,  however the
directors  have reason to believe that the By-laws  have been since  amended but
cannot be located;

     Mr.  Chamberlin  was  elected by the  members  participating  to act as the
Chairman of the meeting and also acted as secretary,  and after  discussions and
due procedures,  the Board (except for Mr.  Granville  Smith,  who was medically
unable to attend) unanimously adopted the following resolutions:

1 Resolved,  That the By-Laws  attached  herewith and dated December 8, 1998 are
  hereby adopted,  ratified,  and confirmed.  Furthermore all previous  By-Laws,
  amended or otherwise, are hereby repealed this date

Please Initial: Mr. Chamberlin: ___ Mr. Scimeca: ___ Mr. Joffe: ___
Ms. Field: ___

  Having adopted the foregoing resolutions,  upon motion duly made, seconded and
unanimously adopted, the Board meeting was terminated.

  The  foregoing,  based on our best  recollection  and  notes,  constitute  the
actions  taken at such  special  meeting of the Board,  and by our  execution of
these minutes and initials on each page and under each resolution adopted, we do
so confirm, effective as of this ___th day of December, 1998.
