To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. The Company's Board of Directors has taken unanimous affirmative action with respect to each of the foregoing proposals and recommends that the Stockholders vote in favor of each of the proposals. Only holders of record of common stock, $.0001 par value ("Common Stock"), of the Company at the close of business on January 29, 1997 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 377 Hoes Lane, Piscataway Centre, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854 and its telephone number is (908) 981-0077. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and other accompanying materials are first being sent or given to Stockholders is February 19, 1997.

Voting at the Annual Meeting The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on January 29, 1997 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 10,350,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.0001 par value (the "Common Stock"), issued and outstanding, each of which is entitled to one (1) vote at the Annual Meeting.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is necessary to approve and consent to (i) the Reverse Stock Split, (ii) the Common Stock Proposal, and (iii) the Sale Transaction. Accordingly, an abstention or broker non-votes with respect to Proposals 1 and 2 will have no effect on the outcome of the voting on these proposals and will have the effect as a negative vote on Proposals 3, 4 and 5. Brokers who hold shares in street name, may vote on behalf of beneficial owners with respect to Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4. The Board of Directors recommends voting FOR Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by officers and directors and regular employees of the Company, without additional remuneration, by personal interviews, telephone, telegraph or facsimile transmission.

Proxies given by stockholders of record for use at the Annual Meeting may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise of the powers conferred.

ALL VALID PROXIES OBTAINED WILL BE VOTED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING. None of the matters to be acted on at the Annual Meeting give rise to any statutory right of a Stockholder to dissent and obtain the appraisal of or payment for such Stockholder's shares.

As a result of such transaction, the shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock repurchased from Mr. Van Dine were canceled, Mr. Van Dine became the sole stockholder of the Company and Mr. Glazier became the sole 12 shareholder of Allentown Karate. In April, 1993, Mr. Glazier transferred (i) 100 shares of Common Stock of Body Motion, representing all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Body Motion, for 10 shares of Class B NonVoting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate, (ii) 45 shares of Class A Common Voting Stock of Allentown Karate, representing all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Allentown Karate, for 10 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate, (iii) 100 shares of Common Stock of Hackensack Karate, representing all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Hackensack Karate, for 10 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate and (iv) 100 shares of Common Stock of Paramus Karate, representing all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Paramus Karate, for 10 shares Class A Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate. As a result of such transactions, Mr. Glazier owned an aggregate of 40 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and 50 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate, Mr. Belfort owned an aggregate of 10 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and 100 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate, and Bethlehem Karate held all of the outstanding capital stock of Body Aerobics, Allentown Karate, Hackensack Karate and Paramus Karate. Effective as of June 25, 1993, Bethlehem Karate and MGKI-NJ were merged with and into the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each outstanding share of Bethlehem Karate was entitled to receive 7,500 shares, and each outstanding share of MGKI-NJ was entitled to receive 1,500 shares, of the Company's Common Stock. On the effective date of the merger, Mr. Glazier received an aggregate of 675,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for 40 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and 50 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate as well as 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for 100 shares of Common Stock of MGKI-NJ. In addition, Mr. Belfort received an aggregate of 825,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for 10 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and 100 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock of Bethlehem Karate. Effective as of June 26, 1993, the Company effected a 1.81818-for-one stock split with respect to the shares of its Common Stock. In view of the NASDAQ Industry Panels initial decision regarding the rejection of the Company's listing application, on September 17, 1993, MG Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Glazier ("MG Holdings"), and Mr. Belfort entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which MG Holdings purchased one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of Common Stock from Mr. Belfort. As consideration for such shares of Common Stock, MG Holdings delivered a promissory note to Mr. Belfort in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000, bearing interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum and due and payable on September 20, 1995. Simultaneously therewith, Mr. Belfort and Mr. Glazier canceled the Voting Trust Agreement. As a result, Mr. Belfort does not hold any shares of capital stock of the Company, nor does he have any rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company. On May 16, 1995, the Company issued to Mark Glazier, the Company's President, Chairman of the Board and founder, 1,000,000 options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Options") at an exercise price of $.30 per share at any time prior to May 16, 2000. The Options were issued to Mr. Glazier pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement as a bonus for fiscal years ended 1993 and 1994. 13 In connection with the execution by the Company of the lease for the Karate Center located in Hackensack, Mr. Glazier has agreed to personally guarantee the Company's obligations thereunder. In exchange for such guarantees, the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Glazier with respect to any loss he may incur in connection therewith. On October 24, 1996 the Company received a partnership distribution of $379,500 from HEP II, a limited partnership in which the Company is an investor. In April 1996, the Company invested $1,500,000 in HEP II for the purpose of making two (2) motion pictures. In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of two (2) of the Company's karate centers, the Great Neck location and the Hicksville location, the Company paid $76,375 to two (2) of its landlords to secure the consent of such landlords to the assignment of the leases by the Company to the purchasers of such karate schools. In addition, the Company remains a guarantor of certain of the Purchaser's obligations under the Hicksville lease. See "The Sales Transaction." PROPOSAL TWO TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF THE FIRM OF MOORE STEPHENS, P.C. AS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE COMPANY The Board of Directors concluded that the continued engagement of Moore Stephens, P.C. as the Company's independent public accountants for the 1996 fiscal year was in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors recommends that Stockholders ratify its choice of Moore Stephens, P.C. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Moore Stephens, P.C. as independent public accountants for the Company. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received from stockholders will be voted in favor of the proposed amendment. PROPOSAL THREE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT General. The stockholders of the Company are being asked to approve a one-for-five reverse stock split of the Common Stock of the Company (the "Reverse Stock Split") which may be considered a modification or exchange of securities invoking the requirements of Item 12 of Rule 14a-101 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In compliance therewith, the Company has attached hereto its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995 which is incorporated by reference herein. The Board of Directors believes that it would be in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders to effect the Reverse Stock Split of one share of newly issued share of Common Stock ("New Common Stock") for each five (5) shares of the Company's presently issued and outstanding Common Stock. This amendment has been adopted by the Board of Directors subject to approval of the Company's stockholders. Approval will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors reserves the right, notwithstanding 14 stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, if, at any time prior to filing the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value, of which 10,350,000 shares were issued and outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date. As proposed and if effected, the Reverse Stock Split would reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares to approximately 2,070,000. The proposed Reverse Stock Split would not affect any stockholder's proportionate equity interest in the Company. Neither the par value of the Common Stock nor any rights presently accruing to holders of Common Stock would be affected by this transaction. To effect this one-for-five reverse stock split of the Common Stock of the Company, shareholder approval is sought to amend Article Fourth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation relating to the authorized capital stock with the following: "FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the corporation shall have the authority to issue is sixteen million (16,000,000) shares, fifteen million (15,000,000) of which shall be shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, and one million (1,000,000) of which shall be shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share. Each five (5) shares of the corporation's common stock, $.0001 par value per share, issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the date of this Certificate of Amendment is filed shall be converted into one (1) share of the corporation's common stock, $.0001 par value per share, so that each share of the corporation's common stock issued and outstanding is hereby converted and reclassified. No fractional interests resulting from such conversion shall be issued, but in lieu thereof, stockholders who ostensibly would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by five (5) will be entitled, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of certificates representing such shares, to receive one (1) additional share of common stock for any fractional share they may be entitled to." Reasons for the Proposed Stock Split. The Company's Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq"). Under the rules of Nasdaq in order to qualify for continued quotation of securities on Nasdaq, the Company, among other things, must have either (i) $2,000,000 in assets, $1,000,000 in stockholder equity and a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the " Minimum Bid Requirement") or alternatively (ii) $2,000,000 in total capital and surplus, and $1,000,000 in market value of public float (the "Capital/Market Value Requirement"). On January 17, 1997, the Company's Common Stock had a closing bid price of $.50 per share. On August 21, 1996, the Staff of Nasdaq advised the Company that the Company failed to satisfy the Minimum Bid Requirement and the Capital/Market Value Requirement with respect to its shares of Common Stock. The Company was then provided 90 days to comply with either of such requirements in order to continue the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq. Failure to do so would result in delisting the Company's shares of Common Stock. On November 5, 1996, the Staff notified the 15 Company that it had satisfied the Capital/Market Value Requirement, and therefore, granted continued listing of the Company's Common Stock. The Board of Directors believes that a Reverse Stock Split will, among other things, enable the Company to meet the Minimum Bid Requirement as well. Furthermore, a relatively low stock price may affect not only the liquidity of the Company's Common Stock, but also its ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. Thus, the Company believes that the expected increase in trading price is expected to be attractive to the financial community, the investing public, and to users of the Company's services. The Board of Directors is hopeful that a decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, as a consequence of the proposed Reverse Stock Split, and the anticipated corresponding increase price per share will stimulate interest in the Company's Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company's Common stockholders with respect to those shares presently held by them. However, the possibility does exist that such liquidity could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares which would be outstanding if the proposed Reverse Stock Split is effected. If, in the future, the Company is unable to satisfy either the Minimum Bid Requirement or the Capital/Market Requirement, trading, if any, in the Company's securities would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets", or the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotation as to the price of, the securities of the Company. In addition, if the securities are removed from Nasdaq, they could be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. Management of the Company is not aware of any present efforts of any persons to accumulate Common Stock or to obtain control of the Company, and the proposed Reverse Stock Split is not intended to be an anti-takeover device. The amendment is being sought solely to enhance the image of the Company, its corporate flexibility, and to price the Common Stock in the price range that would meet the Minimum Bid Requirement and be more acceptable to the brokerage community, and to investors generally. Exchange of Stock Certificates. If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company's stockholders, the Company will instruct its transfer agent to act as its exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") and to act for holders of Common Stock in implementing the exchange of their certificates. Commencing on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split (the "Effective Date"), stockholders will be notified and requested to surrender their certificates representing shares of Common Stock to the Exchange Agent in exchange for certificates representing New Common Stock. One share of New Common Stock will be issued in exchange for each five (5) presently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing shares of the Company's Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of shares of New Common Stock. Liquidation of Fractional Shares. No scrip or fractional certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who ostensibly would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares of Common Stock not evenly divisible by five (5) will be entitled, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of certificates representing such shares, to receive one 16 (1) additional share of Common Stock for any fractional share they may be entitled to. Stockholders may now hold "odd lots" as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and as such may be subject to increased transaction costs on the sale of their Common Stock. Stockholders are encouraged to surrender their certificates to the Exchange Agent for certificates evidencing whole shares of the Common Stock due them for fractional interests. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The Reverse Stock Split should not result in the recognition of gain or loss (except in the case of additional shares received for fractional shares as described below). The holding period of the shares of New Common Stock will include the stockholders' respective holding periods for the shares of Common Stock exchanged therefore, provided that the shares of Common Stock were held as a capital asset. The adjusted basis of the shares of New Common Stock will be the same as the adjusted basis of the Common Stock exchanged therefore, reduced by the basis applicable to the receipt of additional shares in lieu of fractional shares described below. A stockholder who receives additional shares in lieu of fractional shares will be treated as if the Company would issue additional shares to him. Such stockholder should generally recognize gain or loss, as the case may be, measured by the difference between the number of additional shares received and the basis of his old Common Stock applicable to such fractional shares had they actually been issued. Such gain or loss shall be a capital gain or loss (if such stockholder's Common Stock was held as a capital asset), any such capital gain or loss shall generally be long-term capital gain or loss to the extent such stockholder's holding for his Common Stock exceeds twelve months. No Dissenter's Rights. Under Delaware law, stockholders are not entitled to dissenter's rights of appraisal with respect to the Reverse Stock Split. PROPOSAL FOUR INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY The Board of Directors has voted to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares, par value $.0001 per share, to 40,000,000 shares, par value $.0001 per share, subject to the approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company (the "Common Stock Proposal"). The Board of Directors determined that such amendment is advisable and directed that the proposed amendment be considered at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is required to approve the Common Stock Proposal. To effect this increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company, shareholder approval is sought to amend Article Fourth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation relating to the authorized capital stock with the following: "FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue is 41,000,000, 40,000,000 of which are common shares, par value of $.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 of which are preferred shares, par value $.0001 per share. 17 There are no present agreements, understandings, or arrangements for the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock that would be authorized by the above described Amendment, except that the approval of the Common Stock Proposal will enable the holders of the Investor Options to exercise such options for up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In the event that the Investor Options are exercised, the current stockholders will experience substantial dilution of their investment. See "Recent Developments." Reasons For Proposed Increase in Authorized Shares. The Board of Directors believes that this increase is desirable for a number of reasons. The Board of Directors believes that by increasing the number of authorized shares, the Company will be afforded greater flexibility to raise additional funds, to compensate employees and consultants and to make strategic acquisitions, if and when the opportunity arises. In addition, in connection with a private placement of the Company's securities, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common Stock (or 2,000,000 shares should the Reverse Stock Split be approved by the Company's stockholders) during the two (2) year period commencing on April 17, 1997, or such later date as the Company increases its number of authorized shares of Common Stock to not less than 30,000,000 shares. See "Recent Developments." Accordingly, an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock will also enable the Subscribers to exercise such options. The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" the foregoing amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares to 40,000,000 shares. PROPOSAL FIVE THE SALE TRANSACTION THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARIES The Company, which was incorporated on March 22, 1993, manages and operates Master Glazier Karate Centers (the "Karate Centers") located in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania through its several wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries"). The Company was formed to acquire and operate several companies engaged in the martial arts instruction service business which it now operates through its Subsidiaries. The Company's Subsidiaries are the successors to the businesses operated by several companies with which the Company has merged or which the Company has acquired. The Company presently operates seven (7) Karate Centers. The principal executive offices of the Company and the Subsidiaries are located at 377 Hoes Lane, Piscataway Centre, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854. Their telephone number is (908) 981-0077. THE PURCHASERS Northern Bergen Karate, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, Central Bergen Karate, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, Southern Bergen Karate, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, Northern Nassau Karate, Inc., a New York corporation, and Central Nassau Karate, Inc., a New York corporation (collectively, 18 the "Purchasers" or "Tiger Schulmann's Karate") were formed in 1996. They were created specifically for the purpose of engaging in the Sale Transaction. Pending the successful completion of the Sale Transaction, the Purchasers will own and operate the Karate Centers under the trade name "Tiger Schulmann's Karate" , a registered trademark of UAK Management, Inc. ("UAK"). UAK will provide management services to the Purchasers. The principal executive offices of the Purchasers are located at c/o UAK Management, Inc., 40 Eisenhower Drive, Paramus, New Jersey, telephone number (201) 368- 0707. Following consummation of the Sale Transaction, the Purchasers' entire business will consist of owning and operating the Karate Centers. THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Purchase Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreements, a copy of which is attached (including exhibits thereto, but excluding schedules) as an exhibit hereto. Terms which are not otherwise defined in the summary or elsewhere in this Proxy Statement shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreements. THE SALE Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreements, effective on the Closing Date, (i) the Company and the Subsidiaries will sell and transfer, and the Purchasers will purchase and acquire, the Assets (as described below) and (ii) the Company and the Subsidiaries will transfer and delegate to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge (the extent not paid, performed or discharged prior to the Closing Date) the Assumed Liabilities (as described below). ASSETS The Assets being transferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreements include all of the right, title and interest of the Company and the Subsidiaries in and to (i) all Equipment (as defined in the Purchase Agreements), and (ii) contracts, agreements and commitments specified in the Purchase Agreements, including, but not limited to, the lease agreements for the leased five (5) Karate Centers' premises, including leasehold improvements, subject to the approval of their respective lessors. LIABILITIES The Assumed Liabilities include all liabilities and obligations of the Subsidiaries and the Company which relate to the leases, agreements contracts and commitments transferred to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreements. The Purchasers will not assume any liabilities or obligations of the Subsidiaries and the Company other than the Assumed Liabilities. CONSIDERATION In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, the Purchasers will pay to the Company an aggregate of $505,000 at the Closing, consisting of $225,000 in cash (the "Cash")(which is currently being held in escrow) and an aggregate of $280,000 in three promissory notes (the "Notes"; the Cash and Notes are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Purchase Price"), and will assume all of the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchase Price for each school is $100,000, except for the Great Neck location, 19 the purchase price is $105,000. Northern Bergen Karate, Inc. has paid $5,000 in cash into escrow and will deliver a promissory note to Ramsey Karate Center, Inc. in the amount of $95,000 on the Closing Date; Central Bergen Karate, Inc. has paid $100,000 in cash into escrow; Southern Bergen Karate, Inc. has paid $100,000 in cash into escrow; Northern Nassau Karate, Inc. will deliver a promissory note to Great Neck Karate, Inc. in the amount of $105,000 on the Closing Date; and Central Nassau Karate, Inc. has paid $20,000 in cash into escrow and will deliver a promissory note to Hicksville Karate, Inc. in the amount of $80,000 on the Closing Date. The Purchase Price was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Purchasers. The Company did not utilize an appraisal or other independent determination of asset value nor did the Company obtain a fairness opinion. The three Notes are in the aggregate principal amount of $280,000 and do not bear interest. The Notes are to be repaid in monthly installments over a thirty (30) month period following the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries will receive a security interest in all the Assets being transferred to the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreements as collateral for the obligations set forth in the Notes. The Notes are also to be personally guaranteed by Daniel Schulmann, President of UAK Management, Inc. Management of the Company is well acquainted with Mr. Schulmann and believes that he possesses substantial experience in the operation of martial arts instruction centers. Management believes that repayment in full of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes is probable and, if such repayment should not be forthcoming, that the pledged collateral and personal guarantee provided by Mr. Schulmann will in all likelihood enable the Company to receive the full principal amount thereof. In connection with the sale of the Great Neck location and the Hicksville location, the Company paid $76,375 to two (2) of its landlords to secure the consent of such landlords to the assignment of the leases by the Company to the purchasers of such karate schools. In addition, the Company remains a guarantor of certain of the Purchaser's obligations under the Hicksville lease. THE CLOSING It is anticipated that the sale and transfer of the Assets to, and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by, the Purchasers will take place at such time as the Company, the Subsidiaries and the Purchasers agree in writing. In any event, the Closing is to occur on or before March 31, 1997, unless extended by the Company to no later than May 31, 1997. (See "THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT - -- Conditions to Closing.") The date of the Closing is referenced to herein as the "Closing Date." Pending the Closing, the Assets will be operated and managed by the Purchasers, pursuant to the terms of individual Operating Agreements by and among the Subsidiaries and each of the Purchasers dated the same date of the Purchase Agreements (the "Operating Agreements"). The Purchase Agreements are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions including the approval of a majority of stockholders of the Company. In the event that the Sales Transaction fails to close, the Subsidiaries and the Purchasers will return to their positions prior to the signing of the Purchase Agreements and the Operating Agreements, except for assets of two (2) of the Subsidiaries (Ramsey and Hackensack) which will be sold to the Purchasers on identical terms as stated herein. See "THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS-Consideration." In essence, the Assets would be returned to the Subsidiaries, and the Cash previously placed in escrow by the Purchasers would be returned to same.

A claim shall not be determined to be the fault of the Purchaser if it results from the initial change in instructors, instructional style or schedule of instruction, or a conflict in personalities between the instructor and the student. A claim based on the intentional misconduct or negligence of the Purchaser, its employees or independent contractors shall be considered to be the fault of the Purchaser. TERMINATION The Purchase Agreements may be terminated (i) upon written consent of the parties, (ii) by the Company or its Subsidiaries, in the event that the conditions contained in Article VII have not been satisfied by the Closing Date; provided however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall reimburse Purchaser for its expenses in an amount not to exceed $200,000 if the Company's failure to close is as a result of the Company's failure to receive the Shareholder Approval or (iii) by the Purchaser, in the event that the Closing has not occurred by May 31, 1997 as a result of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' inability to close (such date being the "Termination Date"). BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE SALES TRANSACTION During the two year period following the Company's initial public offering in 1993, the Company pursued an aggressive expansion program. The Company long believed that by increasing the number of students and overall revenues it would reduce its overhead costs per student. This would enable the Company to operate profitably. However, after some time, it became apparent to management that despite having ample capital, the Company was incapable of training and developing a sufficient number of instructors skilled in the Company's style of martial arts in order to staff the opening of several new Karate Centers. The Company then aggressively pursued acquiring existing martial arts centers. However, because of the Company's unique style of martial arts instruction and the fragmented, "mom and pop" nature of the martial arts industry, it was difficult to identify numerous appropriate acquisition candidates. The Company discussed potential transactions with a limited number of acquisition targets, 22 including UAK Management, Inc. (d/b/a "Tiger Schulmann's Karate"). After unsuccessful attempts at negotiating an acceptable acquisition transaction and for the reasons set forth below, the Company refocused its attention to divesting its unprofitable Karate Centers. During the past two fiscal years ending December 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded a net loss of $1,081,242 and $1,045,789, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a net loss of $441,852. It is anticipated that the Company will also incur a net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996. Since the Company has been unable to operate profitably, and because the Company could neither expand its business internally (by training and developing an adequate number of instructors) or by acquiring other martial arts instruction centers, management believes that the sale of unprofitable Karate Centers is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders. Having been in the martial arts industry for many years, management was intimately familiar with significant players in the industry. Once the decision was made by the Company's Board of Directors to pursue a divestiture strategy, the Company then considered a variety of possible purchasers. After some deliberation, the Company determined that given the substantial potential liability to the Company from pre-paid student contracts and from real estate leases, the Company elected to pursue purchasers with extensive experience in teaching the martial arts as well as purchasers with substantial financial means. The Company believes that Tiger Schulmann's Karate is an ideal purchaser. Tiger Schulmann has been instructing students in the martial arts since 1982 and currently operates 30 martial arts centers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Because Tiger Schulmann has had unparalleled success in opening and operating martial arts instruction centers over the last fifteen years, the Company believes that Tiger Schulmann is well suited to assume the on-going obligations at the Karate Centers. Following the closing of the Sales Transaction, the Company anticipates using the proceeds from the Sales Transaction to acquire an alternative business. However, no definitive agreement or arrangement have been made regarding such a transaction. RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors believes that the Sale Transaction is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Sale Transaction and recommends to the Company's stockholders that they vote FOR the approval of the Sale Transaction. In reaching its conclusions, the Board of Directors considered, among other things, the following material factors: (1) A range of alternative strategic options (including sales of assets or the entire Company and elimination or reduction of costs) out of which options the Sales Transaction presented the best opportunity to the Company to enhance shareholder value, all as more fully described under "THE SALE TRANSACTION -- Background and Reasons for the Sale Transaction." (2) Information concerning the financial performance, condition, business operations and prospects of the Company. See "THE SALE TRANSACTION -- Background and Reasons for the 23 Sale Transaction" and "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS." (3) The relatively small number of potential acquirors, due in great measure to the necessity of finding a purchaser that it is skilled in managing high-volume, high-expense martial arts centers as well as providing exceptional martial arts instruction to the Company's existing students and would be willing to undertake operations in the difficult New York/ New Jersey market, and the inability of the Company to negotiate with any of such potential acquirors a definite agreement with terms more favorable than the Sale Transaction. (4) The proposed terms and structure of the Sale Transaction and the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements. In this regard the Board also considered the ability of the Company to terminate the Purchase Agreements, upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events (including upon the failure of the Company's stockholders to approve the transaction), as described more fully under the captions "THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT -- Termination." (5) The ability to consummate the Sale Transaction without restricting, limiting or altering the rights of the stockholders of the Company. See "THE SALE TRANSACTION -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Sale Transaction" and "Effect of the Sale Transaction on the Company's Stockholders." (6) The perceived motivation of the Purchasers and their executives and the Purchasers' financial condition, which factors underscored the Purchasers' earnest intent to consummate the Sale Transaction and demonstrated the Purchasers' financial ability to assume the obligations and liabilities associated with the Purchasers' assumption of the Subsidiaries' leases, as well as the Purchasers' assumption of the assigned student contracts. (7) The recommendation of the Company's management to enter into the Sale Transaction. (8) The extensive experience of the Purchasers' management Company, UAK Management, Inc., in martial arts instruction center operations, which provided the Company with a high level of comfort as to the ability of the Purchasers to operate the Karate Centers profitably and therefore meet its payment obligations under the Notes. (9) The offer by Daniel Schulmann, the principal of Tiger Schulmann's Karate, to personally guarantee payment to the Company of the Notes of the Purchasers. (10) The offer by Daniel Schulmann, the principal of Tiger Schulmann's Karate, to personally guarantee certain of the Purchasers' obligations under certain of the assigned leases. (11) The opportunity to materially reduce overhead expenses and potential liabilities as a result of the sale of the Karate Centers. In light of these factors and the consideration to be received in connection with the Sale Transaction, the Board determined that the Sale Transaction was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board took into account the fact that only a relatively small number of parties expressed interest in acquiring the Karate Centers, it was reasonably unlikely that the Company would 24 receive, in the foreseeable future, offers to engage in alternative transactions on terms more favorable to the Company and its stockholders than those offered by the Purchasers. The Company has, in its capacity as sole stockholder of the Subsidiaries, approved the Sale Transaction and has authorized the Subsidiaries's consummation thereof, contingent on the approval by the Company's stockholders of the Sale Transaction. INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE SALE TRANSACTION In considering the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Sale Transaction, stockholders should be aware that Mark Glazier, the Company's President and Chairman of the Board, stands to indirectly benefit from the Sale Transaction. One of the leases that would be assigned to the Purchasers requires Mr. Glazier to personally guarantee the payment of rent under the lease. Should the Sale Transaction be consummated, Mr. Glazier would no longer be personally liable for such rent payments on the remaining terms of the lease of the Hackensack location. Mr. Glazier would have been liable for payment of rent to the landlord, not to exceed $5,000, for which the Company had agreed to indemnify Mr. Glazier in full. The Board of Directors was aware of the foregoing and considered it, among other matters, in approving the Purchase Agreements and the Sale Transaction. Other than as described above, the Board of Directors is not aware of any potential conflicts of interest management may have in relation to Sale Transaction. REGULATORY APPROVALS No state or Federal regulatory approval is required in connection with the Sale Transaction. ACCOUNTING TREATMENT The Sale Transaction will be accounted for as a sale of certain assets and a transfer of certain liabilities. The sum of the consideration to be received by the Company and the liabilities to be assumed by the Purchasers was materially less than the book value of the assets to be sold at the time that the Purchase Agreement was signed. The Sale Transaction results in a loss of approximately $ 421,000. Despite the loss, management believes the prospect of significant proceeds presents the shareholders with their best opportunity to realize a return on their investment. See "BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE SALE TRANSACTION." The Company expects that its accountants, Moore Stephens, P.C., will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to reasonable and appropriate questions. CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES The Company expects to incur a loss for income tax purposes with respect to the Sale Transaction. The Sale Transaction will not result in any direct federal or state income tax consequences to the stockholders of the Company. However, shareholders of the Company are advised to consult with the individual tax attorneys and/or accountants in order to determine the tax consequences of the anticipated receipt of return of capital distributions. The taxable effect of these distributions will vary among shareholders, and will be based in part on a shareholder's basis in his, her or its common stock of 25 the Company. EFFECT OF THE SALE TRANSACTION ON THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS If the Sale Transaction is consummated, the stockholders of the Company will retain their equity interest in the Company. Such sale will not result in any issuance of any capital stock by the Company nor will it change the rights of the Company's stockholders. USE OF PROCEEDS OF THE SALE TRANSACTION Of the expected net proceeds of the Sale Transaction, the Company anticipates utilizing approximately $150,000 to pay existing obligations, accounts payable and operating expenses, including the salaries of the Company's executive officers; $50,000 to be set aside for the refunding of certain pre-paid student contracts; with the remaining net proceeds to be utilized for working capital needs, potential expansion and/or acquisitions of other businesses, as well as the expenses and costs incurred in connection with the Sale Transaction and other matters, including legal fees. See "THE SALE TRANSACTION -- Background and Reasons for the Sale Transaction" and "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY." Prior to their intended use, the Company will invest available funds in U.S. Treasury and other short term obligations. 26 MASTER GLAZIER'S KARATE INTERNATIONAL, INC.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and Pro Forma Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996. For the purposes of managements's discussion and analysis the periods referenced are the nine months ended September 30, 1996, (hereinafter referred to as "Historical") and the pro forma adjusted period of September 30, 1996, (hereinafter referred to as "Pro Forma"). The Pro Forma period takes into consideration the effect of the sale of substantially all of the assets of five (5) of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries Great Neck Karate, Inc., Hicksville Karate, Inc., Paramus Karate, Inc., Hackensack Karate Inc., and Ramsey Karate Centers (collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Subsidiaries") and the Reverse Stock Split of the Company's issued common stock. On October 18, 1996, the Company entered into convertible stock subscription agreements pursuant to which the subscribers purchased an aggregate of 750,000 shares the Registrant's Series A Preferred Stock for $1.20 per share. On December 26, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with the Subscribers pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were redeemed and cancelled by the Company in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Pro Forma adjusted balance sheet reflects the shares pertaining to the Stock Exchange Agreements but does not reflect the cash proceeds of $900,000 received from the sale of Preferred Stock. The Pro Forma balance sheet adjustment of $148,625 for cash reflects cash proceeds of $225,000 from the sale of the assets of the Subsidiaries and a $76,375 cost of cancellation of the Great Neck and Hicksville leases. The $57,681 adjustment to security deposits reflects the forfeiture of certain security deposits caused by the assignment of leases of the Subsidiaries to the Purchasers. The $983,124 Pro Forma balance sheet adjustment for property and equipment net of accumulated depreciation, reflects the sale of the assets of the Subsidiaries. The Company had a Pro Forma reduction in liabilities of $190,756. The liability consisted of deferred revenue from prepaid membership tuition. This debt was assumed in part by the Purchasers of the Subsidiaries. On October 24, 1996 the Company received $379,500 which represents a distribution of sales proceeds pertaining to its investment in a limited partnership. These proceeds were not reflected in the Pro Forma financial statements. The Company had Historical and anticipates Pro Forma sales of $1,229,623 and $521,183 respectively. Sales were derived predominantly from membership tuition. The $708,440 reduction in sales takes into account the loss of revenues due to the closing of operations of the Company's Subsidiaries. Pro Forma sales of $521,183 were derived from sales generated by the Allentown and Bethlehem karate centers still in operation. The Company anticipates a $1,314,142 reduction in operating expenses due to the sale of the Subsidiaries assets. The major components of operating expenses consists of the following: 32 Historical Pro Forma September 30, September 30, 1996 1996 ------------- ------------- Cost of Accessories Sold $ 89,006 $ 29,306 Salaries and Payroll Taxes 820,002 415,287 Rent Expenses 433,903 106,165 Other General and Administrative Expenses 821,073 299,084 Total $2,163,984 $849,842 The anticipated reduction in rent and cost of goods sold of $327,738 and $59,700, respectively, are directly attributable to expenses incurred in the operations of the Subsidiaries. The $404,715 reduction in salaries and payroll taxes is comprised of $290,782 of Subsidiaries operating expenses and $113,933 due to staff downsizing of the Company attributable to operations of the Subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that other general and administrative expenses would be reduced on a Pro Forma basis by $521,989 of which $446,989 are directly attributable to expenses of the subsidiaries and $75,000 are expenses incurred by the Company attributable to operations of the subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that further reductions in general and administrative expenses could be realized as operations of the Subsidiaries are closed down. The Pro Forma adjusted loss from operations of $328,659 as compared to a historical loss of $934,361 directly reflects the effect of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiaries and the subsequent closing of their operations. After taking into consideration other income including a $438,527 gain on the sale of securities, the Company anticipates a Pro Forma net gain from operations of $163,850 as compared to a historical net loss from operations of $441,852. The loss/gain per share from continuing operations historically and Pro Forma are ($.08) and $.08 per share, respectively. The Pro Forma $.08 per share gain reflects the effects of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiaries, the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock pertaining to the Stock Exchange Agreement, and the reverse stock split of the Company's issued common stock on the basis of one (1) new share of common stock for each five (5) shares of common stock outstanding. PLANS FOR THE OPERATION OF THE COMPANY FOLLOWING THE SALE TRANSACTION Following the closing of the Sale Transaction, the Company plans to continue to operate its two (2) remaining Karate Centers while attempting to identify potential purchasers of the remaining Karate Centers and to pursue the acquisition of an alternative business. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in locating a purchaser who is interested in the remaining Karate Centers. The Company will continue to operate its remaining Karate Centers until it can dispose of such Karate Centers. Revenues from continuing operations, and proceeds received by the Company from payments made on outstanding promissory notes will be applied to the payment of operational expenses, and working capital needs. If the Company should sell its remaining Karate Centers, management of the Company intends to utilize its note principal proceeds and its then remaining revenues to make payment of any expenses related to the continued existence of the Company. Management anticipates that the Company's cash inflows would at such time consist of payments under the Note and the other promissory notes that the Company will have received in its Karate Center dispositions. Management of the Company has no present intention to liquidate or 33 dissolve the Company, or to engage in a going private transaction. After consummation of the Sale Transaction, the Company anticipates that operations will result in minor cash flow and operating losses due to (i) operating losses at Allentown Karate, Inc. and Bethlehem Karate, Inc., and (ii) corporate overhead expenses. Operational cash flow shortages are expected to mitigated by proceeds from repayment of the Note. See "PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION." Upon the Closing of the Sales Transactions, the Company will be able to refocus its energies on more profitable businesses, however, the Company has no current arrangements or agreements to acquire an alternative business.
