BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
THE PATENT SALE AND CESSATION OF BUSINESS
ADVANCED OXYGEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("ADVANCED
OXYGEN TECHNOLOGIES", "AOT" OR THE "COMPANY"),
INCORPORATED IN DELAWARE IN 1981 UNDER THE NAME
AQUANAUTICS CORPORATION, WAS, FROM 1985 UNTIL MAY
1995, A DEVELOPMENT STAGE SPECIALTY MATERIALS
COMPANY PRODUCING NEW OXYGEN CONTROL
TECHNOLOGIES. ON MAY 1, 1995, THE COMPANY SOLD ITS
PATENTS, AND ALL RELATED TECHNOLOGY AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (COLLECTIVELY THE
"PATENTS RIGHTS") TO W. R. GRACE & CO. CONN., A
CONNECTICUT CORPORATION ("GRACE"). THE PRICE FOR
THE PATENTS RIGHTS WAS $335,000, IN CASH, AND A ROYALTY
AS DESCRIBED BELOW. OF THE CASH, $100,000 WAS PAID TO
THE COMPANY PRIOR TO THE CLOSING AND USED TO COVER
THE PATENT SALE'S TRANSACTIONAL COSTS AND TO
PRESERVE THE PATENT RIGHTS. THE REMAINING $235,000
WAS PAID AT THE CLOSING OF THE SALE OF THE PATENT
RIGHTS (THE "PATENT SALE").
IN ADDITION TO THE $335,000, THE COMPANY IS TO RECEIVE A
ROYALTY UNTIL APRIL 30, 2007 OF TWO PERCENT (2%) OF THE
NET SALES PRICE OF (A) ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY GRACE THAT
INCLUDE AS A COMPONENT, MATERIAL THAT ABSORBS, BARS,
CLIMINATES, EXTRACTS AND/OR CONCENTRATES OXYGEN
THAT, BUT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PATENTS RIGHTS,
WOULD FRINGE THE PATENTS RIGHTS, AND (B) ANY MIXTURE
OR COMPOUND (OTHER THAN A FINISHED PRODUCT) WHICH
INCLUDES AS A COMPONENT MATERIAL THAT ABSORBS,
BARS, CLIMINATES, EXTRACTS AND/OR CONCENTRATES
OXYGEN THAT, BUT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PATENT
RIGHTS, WOULD INFRINGE THE PATENT RIGHTS. IF GRACE
LICENSES THE PATENT RIGHTS DURING THE FIRST THREE
YEARS AFTER THE CLOSING TO A THIRD PARTY (OTHER THAN
A GRACE AFFILIATE), THE COMPANY WILL RECEIVE 50% OF
THE ROYALTIES RECEIVED BY GRACE FORM SUCH THIRD
PARTY BUT WILL NOT RECEIVE THE 2% ROYALTY ON EITHER
PRODUCTS OR MATERIAL SOLD BY OR TO THAT THIRD PARTY.
THE COMPANY HAS AGREED TO INDEMNIFY GRACE FOR ANY
OUT OF POCKET COSTS INCURRED BECAUSE OF CLAIMS,
LITIGATION, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS (A)
RELATING TO THE VALIDITY OR OWNERSHIP OF THE PATENT
RIGHTS, (B) ANY INFRINGEMENT BY THE PATENT RIGHTS OF
ANY OTHER PATENT OR TRADEMARK OWNED BY A THIRD
PARTY, (C) ANY BREACH BY COMPANY OF ITS
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS IN THE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR (D) ARISING FROM ANY STATE OF
AFFAIRS EXISTING AT CLOSING WHICH WAS NOT DISCLOSED
BY THE COMPANY TO GRACE. IF IN ANY ONE YEAR GRACE
INCURS COSTS COVERED BY THIS INDEMNITY, THE
INDEMNITY IS FOR ALL SUCH COSTS UP TO $75,000 AND FOR
50% OF SUCH COSTS OVER $75,000. AMOUNTS DUE GRACE
UNDER THE INDEMNITY WOULD BE PAID BY WITHHOLDING
ROYALTIES FORM COMPANY.
IN AUGUST 1994, IN ORDER TO RETAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT,
THE COMPANY AGREED TO PAY MR. KOPETZ, MS. CASTLE,
AND DAVID OVERMYER, THE COMPANY'S THEN CONTROLLER,
A BONUS IF THE COMPANY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A
SALE OF THE COMPANY OR ITS TECHNOLOGY BY MAY 31, 1995.
THE BONUS WAS EQUAL TO 5% OF THE FIRST MILLION
DOLLARS OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS FROM SUCH SALE, 4% OF
THE NEXT MILLION DOLLARS OF SUCH GROSS PROCEEDS, 3%
OF THE THIRD MILLION, 2% OF THE FOURTH MILLION AND 1%
OF ALL AMOUNTS RECEIVED FROM THE SALE OF OVER $4
MILLION. THIS BONUS WAS SHARED EQUALLY BY MR.
KOPETZ, MS. CASTLE, AND DAVID OVERMYER. UPON THE
CLOSING, THEY RECEIVED AN AGGREGATE OF $16,750, OR
$5,583.33 EACH.
IN ADDITION, CERTAIN OF THE DIRECTORS ADVANCED
$275,000 TO THE COMPANY IN AUGUST 1994 (THE "DIRECTORS
LOANS"). NONE OF THESE ADVANCES HAS BEEN REPAID.
THEY WILL BE REPAID FROM THE ROYALTIES, IF ANY.
THE PATENT SALE MAY NOT NECESSARILY RESULT IN THE
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. SINCE
THE PATENT SALE, THE BOARD CONTINUED TO EXPLORE THE
POSSIBILITY OF DERIVING VALUE FROM THE COMPANY'S
TWO REMAINING NON-CONTINGENT ASSETS, ITS PUBLICLY
HELD CORPORATE SHELL AND ITS NET OPERATING LOSS
CARRY FORWARDS. UNLESS THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED, THE
COMPANY MAY HAVE TO BE DISSOLVED AND LIQUIDATED.
THE BOARD MAY DECIDE IN THAT CONNECTION, OR
ALTERNATIVELY, THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
STOCKHOLDERS TO ASSIGN THE POTENTIAL (OR ACTUAL, IF
IT DEVELOPS) ROYALTY STREAM FROM THE PATENT SALE TO
AN AGENT FOR THE STOCKHOLDERS (THE "AGENT"). IN THIS
EVENT, THE AGENT WOULD COLLECT THE ROYALTIES
RECEIVED FROM GRACE, IF ANY, AND DISBURSE THEM, AFTER
PAYING ANY ONGOING EXPENSES AND ANY REMAINING
LIABILITIES, INCLUDING THE DIRECTOR LOANS, TO THE
FORMER STOCKHOLDERS, PRO RATA ACCORDING TO THEIR
STOCK OWNERSHIP AS OF THE DATE OF THE ASSIGNMENT.
WHETHER THE AGGREGATE LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES OF
THE PREFERRED STOCK WOULD HAVE TO BE SATISFIED
BEFORE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE ROYALTY STREAM COULD BE
MADE ON COMMON SHARES WOULD DEPEND ON THE FORM
OF THE TRANSACTIONS, I.E., WHETHER THE COMPANY WAS
BEING LIQUIDATED. IN THE EVENT OF SUCH AN ASSIGNMENT
OF ROYALTIES, EACH STOCKHOLDER WOULD HAVE A
BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE ROYALTIES, WHICH INTEREST
WILL NOT BE TRANSFERABLE OTHER THAN BY OPERATION OF
LAW (E.G., UPON DEATH). THE PROHIBITION AGAINST
TRANSFER, OTHER THAN BY OPERATION OF LAW, IS A
CONDITION TO ENSURE THAT THE AGENT IS NOT A
REPORTING COMPANY FOR SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF
1934 PURPOSES. SUCH OTHER CONDITIONS AS ARE, IN THE
BOARD'S OPINION, NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THE AGENT
WOULD NOT BE A REPORTING ENTITY WILL ALSO BE
IMPOSED. WHETHER THE BOARD DECIDES TO ASSIGN THE
ROYALTIES TO THE AGENT WILL DEPEND ON SEVERAL
CORPORATE, TAX AND SECURITIES LAW ISSUES, MANY OF
WHICH CANNOT BE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.
UNCERTAINTIES AS TO THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF
ROYALTIES, IF ANY, THAT WILL BE RECEIVED BY THE
COMPANY (OR THE AGENT) MAKE IT IMPRACTICAL TO
PREDICT THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT ULTIMATELY MAY BE
RECEIVED BY STOCKHOLDERS. CLAIMS, LIABILITIES AND
EXPENSES FROM OPERATIONS (INCLUDING OPERATING
COSTS, SALARIES AND MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES) WILL
CONTINUE TO ACCRUE OR BE INCURRED DURING THE
TWELVE-YEAR ROYALTY PERIOD, WHICH WILL REDUCE THE
AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR ULTIMATE DISTRIBUTION.
THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS DECIDED THAT,
DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF ITS EFFORTS TO REALIZE
VALUE FROM THE COMPANY'S STATUS AS A PUBLICLY HELD
CORPORATE SHELL AND ITS NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY
FORWARD, IT MAY BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS TO DISSOLVE AND
LIQUIDATE THE COMPANY. THE BOARD AND THE COMPANY'S
STOCKHOLDERS ACCORDINGLY APPROVED A CONTINGENT
PLAN OF LIQUIDATION ( THE "CONTINGENT PLAN") TO BE
IMPLEMENTED IF THE BOARD, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION,
DEEMS IMPLEMENTATION TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO
CONTINUE TO EXIST FOR MORE THAN A LIMITED TIME. AS A
PUBLICLY HELD COMPANY, THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO
COSTLY ONGOING REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE
REQUIREMENTS, AND ABSENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DERIVING
VALUE FROM THE PUBLICLY HELD CORPORATE SHELL AND
THE NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARDS, THE BOARD
WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDED TO THE STOCKHOLDERS THAT
THE COMPANY LIQUIDATE AND DISSOLVE IMMEDIATELY AND
TRANSFER THE ROYALTIES TO A LIQUIDATING TRUST.
THE BOARD RETAINED FOR THE COMPANY $57,000 FROM THE
PROCEEDS OF THE PATENT SALE SO THAT THE COMPANY
COULD EXIST FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO ALLOW IT TO
SEARCH FOR AND NEGOTIATE WITH POSSIBLE ACQUIRES OF
THE CORPORATE SHELL AND/OR ITS NET OPERATING LOSS
CARRY FORWARDS. IF THAT PROCESS IS NOT SUCCESSFUL,
THE BOARD INTENDS TO IMPLEMENT THE CONTINGENT PLAN.
IF THAT PROCESS IS SUCCESSFUL, IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER
THE BOARD WOULD IMPLEMENT THE CONTINGENT PLAN,
BECAUSE SUCH A DETERMINATION WOULD DEPEND ON THE
FORM OF THE TRANSACTION.
CONTINGENT PLAN OF LIQUIDATION
A CONTINGENT PLAN OF LIQUIDATION (THE "CONTINGENT
PLAN") WAS ADOPTED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY BY WRITTEN CONSENTS PURSUANT TO A PROXY
STATEMENT DATED APRIL 3, 1995. THE CONTINGENT PLAN
PROVIDES FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL
CORPORATION LAW. THE CONTINGENT PLAN IS TO BE
CARRIED OUT ONLY UPON SUBSEQUENT IMPLEMENTATION
BY ACTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS ACTS TO IMPLEMENT THE CONTINGENT PLAN,
THE COMPANY WILL FILE A CERTIFICATE OF DISSOLUTION
WITH THE DELAWARE SECRETARY OF STATE. THE COMPANY
WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST, BUT ONLY TO LIQUIDATE ITS
ASSETS, WIND UP ITS BUSINESS AFFAIRS, PAY ITS LIABILITIES
AND DISTRIBUTE ITS REMAINING ASSETS, IF ANY. APPROVAL
OF THE CONTINGENT PLAN AUTHORIZED THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS TO SELL OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THE ASSETS
OF THE COMPANY ON SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND
FOR SUCH CONSIDERATION AS IT DEEMS ADVISABLE,
WITHOUT ANY FURTHER STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.
THE CONTINGENT PLAN CONTEMPLATES THAT UPON IT
BEING MADE EFFECTIVE BY THE BOARD, IF THERE ARE ANY
ACCRUED AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES OF OR CLAIMS
AGAINST THE COMPANY, PAYMENT OR PROVISION FOR
PAYMENT THEREOF MUST BE MADE OUT OF THE COMPANY'S
ASSETS. AFTER THAT, ANY ASSETS REMAINING WOULD BE
DISTRIBUTED TO STOCKHOLDERS AS PROMPTLY AS
POSSIBLE. THE CONTINGENT PLAN AUTHORIZES THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS TO ABANDON THE DISSOLUTION OF THE
COMPANY ANY TIME BEFORE THE CERTIFICATE OF
DISSOLUTION IS FILED, IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DEEMS
SUCH ACTION TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
COMPANY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS NOT CONSIDERED
THE SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, IF ANY, UNDER WHICH IT
MIGHT ABANDON THE DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY NOR
DOES IT PRESENTLY HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS TO ABANDON
THE DISSOLUTION, SHOULD THE CONTINGENT PLAN BE
IMPLEMENTED.
UNDER THE CONTINGENT PLAN, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
MAY CHOOSE TO TRANSFER THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY
TO A LIQUIDATING TRUST TO (I) RETAIN AND RECEIVE THE
COMPANY'S ASSETS, INCLUDING THE ROYALTIES, (II) SATISFY
THE COMPANY'S LIABILITIES, WHETHER KNOWN, UNKNOWN,
CONTINGENT OR OTHERWISE, (III)M RETAIN ANY ASSET ON
BEHALF OF STOCKHOLDERS WHO CANNOT BE LOCATED AND
(IV) DISTRIBUTE REMAINING ASSETS TO STOCKHOLDERS,
AFTER SATISFYING ANY LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES OF THE
COMPANY'S SERIES 2 PREFERRED STOCK WHICH
PREFERENCES AGGREGATE $885,000. ALL DETERMINATIONS
AS TO THE AMOUNT, TIME AND FORM OF LIQUIDATING
DISTRIBUTIONS (INCLUDING THE TRANSFER TO THE
LIQUIDATING TRUST) WILL BE MADE IN THE ABSOLUTE
DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. ALTHOUGH THE
BOARD IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE DISTRIBUTIONS TO THE
STOCKHOLDERS IN STOCK OR OTHER ASSETS, IT IS NOT
PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE
DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROYALTY STREAM TO A LIQUIDATING
TRUST, ANY DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE MADE.
IF THERE IS A LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTION TO A LIQUIDATING
TRUST, THEN THE STOCKHOLDERS MUST SURRENDER THEIR
COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES TO THE COMPANY FOR
CANCELLATION AS A CONDITION TO ENTITLEMENT TO
RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE TRUST. IF A
STOCKHOLDER FAILS TO SURRENDER HIS CERTIFICATES, HIS
SHARE OF ANY DISTRIBUTION WILL BE RETAINED UNTIL HIS
CERTIFICATES IS SURRENDERED OR UNTIL HE FURNISHES AN
INDEMNITY BOND IN CASE OF LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF THE
CERTIFICATES. NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID OR ACCRUED ON
THE CASH OR OTHER ASSETS PAYABLE UPON SURRENDER OF
COMPANY STOCK CERTIFICATES. THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
THE COMPANY WILL BE NOTIFIED AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE
OF THE PROCEDURE FOR SURRENDER OF THEIR
CERTIFICATES IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR BENEFICIAL
INTEREST IN THE TRUST. IF THE CONTINGENT PLAN OF
LIQUIDATION IS ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENTED BY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS, THE AGENT WILL MOST LIKELY BE A
LIQUIDATING TRUST.
NO ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR
DISTRIBUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS IS POSSIBLE. IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT EITHER (I) WHAT ROYALTIES MIGHT
BE RECEIVED FROM THE PATENT SALE OR WHEN (II)
WHETHER VALUE WILL BE DERIVED FROM THE COMPANY'S
PUBLIC CORPORATE SHELL OR ITS NET OPERATING LOSS
CARRY FORWARDS.
IF THE CONTINGENT PLAN IS IMPLEMENTED BY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS, THE STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS OF THE
COMPANY WILL BE CLOSED AS OF THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS
ON THE DATE THE CERTIFICATE OF DISSOLUTION IS FILED.
AFTER THAT, NO ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFERS OF SHARES OF
STOCK OF THE COMPANY (EXCEPT THOSE OCCURRING BY
WILL, INTESTATE SUCCESSION OR OPERATION OF LAW) WILL
BE RECORDED.

" \l 2
On March 9, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of
Specified Business Assets, a Promissory Note, and a Security Agreement all
dated March 9, 1998, Advanced Oxygen Technologies, Inc.(the "Company")
purchased certain tangible and intangible assets (the "Assets") including
goodwill and rights under certain contracts, from Integrated Marketing
Agency, Inc., a California Corporation ("IMA"). The assets purchased from
IMA consisted primarily of furniture, fixtures, equipment, computers, servers,
software and databases previously used by IMA in its full service
telemarketing business. The purchase price of $2,000,000 consisted of
delivery at closing by the Company of a $10,000 down payment, a Promissory
Note in the amount of $550,000 payable to IMA periodically, with final
payment due on April 10, 2000 and accruing compounded interest at a rate
of nine percent (9%) per annum, and 1,670,000 shares of convertible,
preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Preferred
Stock"). The Preferred Stock is automatically convertible into shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $.01 per shares (the "Common Stock"),
on March 2, 2000, at a conversion rate which will depend on the average
closing price of the Common Stock for a specified period prior thereto. The
purchase price was determined based on the fair market value of the
purchased assets. The down payment portion of the purchase price was drawn
from cash reserves of the Company, and the cash required for payments due
under the Promissory Note will be generated by future revenues from the
Company's business.

copies of such reports furnished to the Company during or with respect to
fiscal 1999, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the
Company believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 all Section

PROPOSAL I APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATIONTO INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON
SHARES
GENERAL
Article (4)(a) of the Company's Articles of Incorporation presently provides
for an authorized capitalization of the Company of 30,000,000 Common
Shares, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value
$0.01 per share. As of February 16, 1998, one million six hundred and seventy
five thousand and three Preferred Shares were issued of which one million six
hundred and seventy thousand are treasury shares and 29,640,252 Common
Shares were issued and outstanding. The Company's Board of Directors has
determined that it would be advisable to amend and restate the Company's
Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized
Common Shares from 30,000,000 to 90,000,000 shares.
Subject to shareholder approval, the Board of Directors has approved an
amendment and restatement of the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation which would revise Article (4)(a) of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to increase from 30,000,000 to 90,000,000, the number of
authorized Common Shares.
PURPOSES OF THE AMENDMENT
The Amendment is being proposed to increase the number of the Company's
authorized but unissued Common Shares. As of February 16, 2000, the
Company had 30,000,000 Common Shares authorized and 29,640,252
Common Shares issued and outstanding.
There are no arrangements, understandings or plans for the issuance of any
such additional shares, other than (i) shares reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding or authorized for issuance
under existing plans (ii) the Company's plans to raise additional capital in
fiscal
2000 to support its business, and (iii) the Company?s plans to purchase,
acquire, merge or otherwise obtain or start an operating business. The
Company does not expect that it would seek authorization from shareholders
for issuance of such additional shares unless required by applicable law or
regulation or the rules of the market in which the Company's Common Shares
are traded. There are no preemptive rights available to shareholders in
connection with the issuance of any such shares.
VOTE REQUIRED
Approval of the Amendment required the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Common Shares.
THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED VOTES EQUALING 64.7% OR
19,180,500 SHARES THAT HAVE BEEN VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL
OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND SUCH AMENDMENT SHALL
BECOME EFFECTIVE APRIL 18, 2000.
PROPOSAL II APPROVAL TO CHANGE AUDITORS.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors has selected Bernstein, Pinchuk and Kaminsky. LLP
as the Company?s independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999 and has further directed that management submit the selection
of independent public accountants for ratification by the stockholders by
written consents.
Stockholder ratification of the selection of Bernstein, Pinchuk and Kaminsky.
LLP as the Company?s independent public accountants is not required by the
Company?s by-laws or otherwise and the Company has begun using some of
their services. The Board of Directors is submitting the selection of
Bernstein, Pinchuk and Kaminsky. LLP to the stockholders for ratification as
a matter of good corporate practice. In the event the stockholders fail to
ratify the selection, the Board of Directors will reconsider whether to retain
that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors in its
discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting
firm any time during the year if the Board of Directors decides that such a
change could be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares will
be required to ratify the selection of Bernstein, Pinchuk and Kaminsky. LLP.
THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED VOTES EQUALING 64.7% OR
19,180,500 SHARES THAT HAVE BEEN VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL
OF THE CHANGE OF THE COMPANY?S AUDITORS TO Bernstein,
Pinchuk and Kaminsky. LLP., AND SUCH AMENDMENT SHALL
BECOME EFFECTIVE APRIL 18, 2000
PROPOSAL III NAME CHANGE
The Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Company?s
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to AOXY,
Inc. Currently, the Company has no business operations. The Company?s
current name was adopted in 1985 when the Company was focused on
applications of its technology which it has since disposed of or otherwise
abandoned. The Board of Directors believes it would be more appropriate for
the Company to utilize a corporate name which more accurately describes the
current focus of the Company. The current strategic focus of the Company
is to seek out new operations through merger, acquisition, sale or purchase.
The Company believes that it will incur certain out of pocket expenses in
connection with the name change, although such expenses are not expected
to exceed $5,000.
The Name Change will be affected by amending and restating Article 1 of the
Company?s Certificate of Incorporation to read as follows:
?The Name of the expiration is AOXY, Inc.?
The above amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will be filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Name Change will
become effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the date of such filing (the
?Effective Date?). It is expected that such filing will take place on the date
of March 8, 1998, or shortly thereafter.
PURPOSES OF THE AMENDMENT
The Board of Directors feel that the name Advanced Oxygen
Technologies, Inc. no longer validly represents the Companies business and
feels that going forward the Name AOXY, Inc. will allow the Company to
pursue business activities without prejudice r other association to industry.
THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED VOTES EQUALING 64.7% OR
19,180,500 SHARES THAT HAVE BEEN VOTED FOR THE APPROVAL
OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND SUCH AMENDMENT SHALL
BECOME EFFECTIVE APRIL 18, 2000.

closing price of the Common Stock for a specified period prior thereto. The
purchase price was determined based on the fair market value of the

from cash reserves of the Company, and the cash required for payments due
under the Promissory Note will be generated by future revenues from the
Company's business.

ITEM 6. PLAN OF OPERATION.
BUSINESS PLAN
The Company currently has two locations. The location in New York
is the location for some of the administrative operations and through June 30,
1999 was offered to the Company on a month to month basis at no cost from
Crossfield, Inc. Robert E. Wolfe is president of Crossfield, Inc. The location
in Santa Clarita, CA is the location for operations. The Company currently has
four areas of concentration: CD-ROM production/sales, event sales, database
management and marketing.
The Company began producing and selling educational CD-ROMS in
March of 1998. The content of the CD-ROMS is derived from conferences,
held by clients of the Company. AOXY produces a CD-ROM of the
conferences including the audio, video, graphics and/or verbatim transcripts
of the conference. AOXY sells CD?s direct to the client and public, and/or
sells advertisement space on the CD?s and produces the CD at no cost to the
conference organizer. All CD?s are in HTML format and are directly linked
to the Internet sites of AOXY and the Client. The sales efforts are conducted
on the Internet and in the Santa Clarita CA location. In addition, the
Company began selling event registrations for conferences where AOXY is
producing CD-ROMS. The Company sells the events through fax
broadcasting, direct mail, and telemarketing from Santa Clarita CA.
In March 1998, AOXY began database management which includes
managing client databases, assisting clients in effective marketing with
databases, providing database information to clients, list rentals, and
utilizing
and structuring databases for fax broadcasting. Currently the Company has
the ability to fax broadcast or email broadcast to a large number of contacts.
The Company continues it efforts to raise capital to support operations
and growth, and is actively searching acquisition or merger with another
company that would compliment AOXY or increase its earnings potential.
CLIENT AND INDUSTRY REPRESENTATION
During this reporting period, 7 client contracts were concluded. There
were 4 active clients as of June 30, 1999. Because the company represents a
variety of clients in a variety of industries, the operation of each client
account
is unique. In addition to the CD Production Clients of AOXY, AOXY has 2
active contracts for Database Management. AOXY fulfils these contracts by
providing, selling, updating and/or renting database information.
Y2K (YEAR 2000 PROBLEM)
Y2K, or the Year 2000 Problem is a potential problem for computers
whereby the system would not recognize the date 2000 as year 2000 but
instead as 1900 due to the fact that the computer industry standard for dating
was a 2 digit system and not 4 digits. Each date represented was the last two
digits of the year, i.e.: 1998 was 98. This problem could render important
computer and communication systems inoperable which could have a
significant effect on the Company's operations. The Company's current
exposure to potential Y2K systems that could be affected include (but not
limited to): computers, telephones, all forms of electronic communications,
switches, routers, software, accounting software, banking, electricity, credit
card processors, electronic data exchange, security systems, fax broadcasting
software and hardware, database software, archives, data, records, and others.
In an effort to minimize the Company's exposure to the potential Y2K
problem, the Company has contacted each of our vendors to assess how Y2K
will affect our operations. Although some vendors make verbal assurances of
Y2K compliance, there can be no certainty that the systems that the Company
use will not be affected. AOXY continues to examine the risks associated
with its most reasonable worst case Year 2000 scenarios. Scenarios might
include a possible but presently unforeseen failure of key supplier or customer
business, processes, or systems. These situations could conceivably persist for
some months after the millennium transition and could lead to possible
revenue losses. The Company also may not have the applicable capital
resources to correct or replace certain systems to be compliant with Y2K.
The Company may be able to replace or correct the Y2K problem within the
organization, and still be affected by outside utilities and or vendors.
The Company may not directly experience any effect from the Y2K
problem, but the suppliers, vendors, clients or other associates of the
Company, may be affected and could cause the Company harm by loss of
clients, loss of contracts, inability to receive supplies, etc. The Y2K element
alone could significantly alter the Company's operations and profitability.

Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was responsible for
reviewing and approving the Company's compensation policies and the
compensation paid to executive officers. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Noll, who
comprise the Compensation Committee are employee and non-employee
directors respectively.
Compensation Philosophy
The general philosophy of the Company's compensation program, which has
been reviewed and endorsed by the Committee, was to provide overall
competitive compensation based on each executive's individual performance
and the Company's overall performance.
There are two basic components in the Company's executive compensation
program: (i) base salary and (ii) stock option awards.
Base Salary
Executive Officers' salaries are targeted at the median range for rates paid by
competitors in comparably sized companies. The Company recognizes the
need to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated executives through a
competitive base salary program, while at the same time considering the
overall performance of the Company and returns to stockholders.
Stock Option Awards
With respect to executive officers, stock options are generally granted on an
annual basis, usually at the commencement of the new fiscal year. Generally,
stock options vest ratably over a four-year period and the executive must be
employed by the Company in order to vest the options. The Compensation
Committee believes that the stock option grants provide an incentive that
focuses the executives' attention on managing the Company from the
perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. The option
grants are issued at no less than 85% of the market price of the stock at the
date of grant, hence there is incentive on the executive's part to enhance the
value of the stock through the overall performance of the Company.
Compensation Pursuant to Plans
The Company has three plans (the "Plans") under which its directors,
executive officers and employees may receive compensation. The principal
features of the 1981 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1981 Plan"), the 1988
Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plan"), and the Non-Employee Director Plan
(the "Director Plan") are described below. During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1994, the Company terminated its tax qualified cash or deferred
profit-sharing plan (the "401(k) Plan"). During fiscal 1998, no executive
officer received compensation pursuant to any of the Plans except as
described below.
The 1981 and 1988 Plans
The purpose of the 1981 Plan and 1988 Plan (the "Option Plans") is to
provide an incentive to eligible directors, consultants and employees whose
present and potential contributions to the Company are or will be important
to the success of the Company by affording them an opportunity to acquire
a proprietary interest in the Company and to enable the Company to enlist and
retain in its employ the best available talent for the successful conduct of its
business.
The 1981 Plan
The 1981 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in May 1981 and
approved by the Company's stockholders in March 1982. A total of 500,000
shares have been authorized for issuance under the 1981 Plan. With the
adoption of the 1988 Plan, no additional awards may be made under the 1981
Plan. As a result, the shares remaining under the 1981 Plan are now available
solely under the 1988 Plan. Prior to its termination, the 1981 Plan provided
for the grant of the following five types of awards to employees (including
officers and directors) of the Company and any subsidiaries: (a) incentive
stock rights, (b) incentive stock options, (c) non-statutory stock options, (d)
stock appreciation rights, and (e) restricted stock. The 1981 Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
The 1988 Plan
The 1988 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase Common Stock
to employees (including officers) and consultants of the Company and any
parent or subsidiary corporation. The aggregate number of shares which
remained available for issuance under the 1981 plan as of the effective date of
the 1988 Plan plus an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock.
Options granted under the 1988 Plan may either be immediately exercisable
for the full number of shares purchasable thereunder or may become
exercisable in cumulative increments over a period of months or years as
determined by the Compensation Committee. The exercise price of options
granted under the 1988 Plan may not be less than 85% of the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of the grant and the maximum period
during which any option may be paid in cash, in shares if the Company's
Common Stock or through a broker-dealer same-day sale program involving
a cash-less exercise of the option. One or more optionees may also be allowed
to finance their option exercises through Company loans, subject to the
approval of the Compensation Committee.
Issuable Shares
As of September 20, 1995, approximately 374,000 shares of Common Stock
had been issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Option Plans,
no shares of Common Stock were subject to outstanding options under the
Options Plans and 626,000 shares of Common Stock were available for
issuance under future option grants. From July 1, 1991 to September 20,
1995, options were granted at exercise prices ranging from $1.22 to $8.15 per
share. The exercise price of each option was equal to 85% of the closing bid
price of Company's Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Over the
Counter Bulletin Board Exchange. Due to employee terminations, all options
became void in August 1995. As of September 30, 1999 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock were available for issuance under future option grants.
Board of Directors Compensation
As of June 30, 1999 the directors did not receive any compensation for
serving as members of the Board.
In addition to any cash compensation, non-employee directors also are eligible
to participate in the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and to receive
automatic option grants thereunder. The Director Plan provides for periodic
automatic option grants to non-employee members of the Board. An
individual who is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member
receives an annual automatic grant of 25,000 shares plus the first annual grant
of 5,000 shares, and will be eligible for subsequent 5,000 share grants at the
second Annual Meeting following the date of his initial election or
appointment as a non-employee Board member.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, no options were granted to
non-employee Board members.
