TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT On June 30, 1989, W-W Land & Cattle, a partnership owned by Millard T. Webster, a director of the Company, Mickey J. Winfrey, an officer of the Company and Terry L. Webster, a brother of Mr. Millard T. Webster and Ms. Winfrey, executed a promissory note for the amount of $96,424 in favor of the Company's subsidiary, W-W Manufacturing Co., Inc. Interest was payable annually at 9% per annum and the principal was due on demand. On June 30, 1993, Ms. Winfrey satisfied her obligations under this note by paying to the Company the amount of $11,361. As of June 30, 1995, $23,028 remained payable under this note by Millard T. Webster and Terry L. Webster. The Company currently leases its manufacturing facility in Dodge City, Kansas from Murle F. Webster, father of Millard T. Webster and Mickey J. Winfrey. This lease requires a monthly rental payment of $5,000. This lease expired on December 31, 1994, however, it has continued on a month to month basis. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, $60,000 was paid by the Company under the lease. Millard T. Webster, a director of the Company, Mickey J. Winfrey, an officer of the Company, and Terry L. Webster, have each executed a promissory note in favor of the Company for the amount of $58,333. Each note bears interest at 9% per annum, are payable in monthly installments of $767 and are due to be paid in full by September 30, 1997. Murle F. Webster, lessor of the Company's manufacturing facility, has executed an assignment of monthly rent back to the Company under each of these notes. On October 26, 1992, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, W-W Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("W-W Manufacturing"), and Eagle Enterprises, Inc. ("Eagle"), entered into an exclusive two year initial term sales and marketing agreement with Agri-Sales Associates, Inc. ("Agri-Sales") to market the Company's products throughout the United States. Jerry R. Bellar, a 4.1% stockholder of the Company, is President and a majority stockholder of Agri-Sales. In conjunction with the cancellation of the agreements, the Companies owed Agri-Sales approximately $164,863 which was increased to $180,000 under a proposed settlement of a lawsuit between the Company and Agri-Sales (see "Legal Proceeding" for additional information). On October 26, 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Eagle in exchange for 325,000 shares of its common stock. Eagle was owned by Jerry R. Bellar, who is now a 4.1% stockholder of the Company. As a result of the acquisition of Eagle, the Company acquired a note payable to Mr. Bellar. On January 24, 1994, Eagle agreed to become a co-borrower with Mr. Bellar. Said note was used to refinance Eagle's note payable to him in the amount of $119,847. This note was paid in-full in January 1996. At June 30, 1996, the Company has a receivable form Agri-Sales and/or Jerry Bellar in the amount of $132,221. This balance represents accounts due to the Company relating to the March Group, Inc. law suit and Liberty Metal Fabrication, Limited lawsuit (see "Legal Proceeding" for additional information). LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In April, 1994, W-W Manufacturing and Eagle sent written notice to Agri-Sales that the Companies will not renew their sales and marketing agency agreement with Agri-Sales when the two year initial contract term expired on October 26, 1994. Agri-Sales informed the Company that under the contract, W-W Manufacturing and Eagle can not terminate the sales and marketing agreement until May 26, 1995. On October 5, 1994, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Sixteenth Judicial District, Ford County, Kansas, asking the Court for declaratory judgement and a preliminary injunction against Agri-Sales to resolve the issue. On October 10, 1994, Agri-Sales filed an answer and made application for a temporary injunction against the Company. On October 20, 1994, the District Judge denied Agri-Sales application for a temporary injunction against the Company. Additionally, Agri-Sales has filed a counter claim for relief estimating damages of $500,000 to $600,000 for the commissions Agri-Sales would have earned for the period October 26, 1994 to April 26, 1995, (the date Agri-Sales contends that the contract will expire) and actual damages of $475,206. Management is confident the court will decide that the contracts did expire on October 26, 1994 and the actual amounts due Agri-Sales based upon the Company's calculation, which had been recorded in the accompanying financial statements, are substantially less than the amounts claimed. This case is in discovery and the Company's legal counsel is unable to express an opinion on the outcome of this case. The Company has been negotiating with Agri-Sales to settle this law suit. The Company has offered to pay $180,000, with $30,000 due upon final judgment of the March Group, Inc. law suit discussed below, with the remaining balance payable in semi annual payment of $25,000 until paid in-full, with zero interest. On December 22, 1992, The March Group, Inc. (The March Group) filed a lawsuit against Eagle and its former shareholders, Jerry R. Bellar (Bellar) and James Buford (Buford). The March Group alleges that Eagle, Bellar and Buford breached a listing contract to sell Eagle and has requested damages of $169,596 (Count I). The March Group has also sued the Company for breach of a separate agreement which the Company had made with The March Group promising to direct all inquiries it had regarding the purchase of Eagle through The March Group and is seeking damages of $169,596 (Count II). Additionally, The March Group is requesting damages against Eagle, Bellar and the Company under a specific Tennessee statute which would allow The March Group three times its proven actual damages of $508,788 (Count III). On May 6, 1994, the Chancery Court, for the State of Tennessee, entered an order requiring Eagle to pay the March Group $169,596 under Count I and ruled in favor of defendants on Counts II and III. On June 7, 1995 the court of appeals reversed the decision that Eagle had to pay $169,596. The case (Count I) has been remanded back to trial court for trial. The court of appeals affirmed the decision of the trail court on Count II and III in favor of the Company. After the Court of Appeals decision, Eagle filed an application for review to the Tennessee Supreme Court asking it to reconsider the Court of Appeals decision rejecting Eagle's claim that plaintiff violated the Tennessee Real Estate Broker Licensing Act, thus forfeiting any fee under the listing contract. Trial of the remanded case to the trial court will not begin until such time as the Tennessee Supreme Court has decided whether to grant Eagle's application for review. To date, the Tennessee Supreme Court has not issued its decision. At the closing of the sale of Eagle, the Company agreed to pay $50,000 of the projected fee due the March Group under its listing agreement, which is recorded in the financial statements. Under the terms of the Eagle sale agreement, Bellar agreed to indemnify the Company for undisclosed liabilities after applying a $10,000 deductible. Bellar has acknowledged that his indemnification obligations require him to pay Eagle for all damages in excess of $50,000 awarded to the March Group under Count I. The remaining amount due the March Group ($119,596) and the receivable from Bellar have not been recorded on the financial statements. At the time Eagle was purchased, Eagle was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Liberty Metal Fabrications, Limited (Liberty Metals) in the State of Kentucky. The claims against Eagle relate prior to the acquisition of Eagle (October 26, 1992) by the Company. Liberty Metals was claiming approximately $91,000 from Eagle. The Company settled the claim by paying $18,000 and returning certain equipment to Liberty Metals. Additionally, it is Management's opinion that any amounts paid to Liberty Metals, by Eagle, should be indemnified by Bellar. It was indicated during the purchase of Eagle that Eagle's exposure in the Liberty Metals case was "at worst a wash-out". Bellar denies that Liberty Metals is covered under the indemnification agreement. Daniel R. Beaton and Rocky Mountain Realty, Inc ("Beaton") has filed a law suit in the District Court, County of Adams, State of Colorado against W W Capital Corporation. Beaton is asserting a claim against the Company for a claimed real estate commission in the amount of $87,218 plus interest and attorney fees due from the Company's sale of certain real property located in Grand County Colorado, pursuant to a listing agreement. The Company's position is that the listing agreement was intended to exclude any buyer that was referred to the Company through several listed individuals. The Company settled this lawsuit by paying Beaton $3,500. COMPLIANCE WITH 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Form 5's were required, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with exception of five reports covering transactions made was filed late by Messr. David L. Patton, a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company. ELECTION OF AUDITORS The stockholders are being asked to elect Miller and McCollom, Independent Certified Public Accountants, as auditors for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997. The audit for the Company for the year ended June 30, 1996, was conducted by Miller and McCollom. A representative of such firm is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders' to answer appropriate questions, but does not intend to make a statement. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF MILLER AND MCCOLLOM AS AUDITORS FOR THE 1997 FISCAL YEAR. VOTE REQUIRED The five nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders who receive the greatest number of votes cast for the election of directors at that meeting by the holders of the Company's common stock will become directors at the conclusion of the tabulation of votes. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's common stock is necessary to elect Miller and McCollom as auditors for the Company. Under Nevada Law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-laws, the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, whether those stockholders vote "for," "against" or abstain from voting, will be counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of affirmative votes required for approval of the second and third proposals, and the total number of votes cast "for" any of these matters will be counted for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. An abstention from voting on a matter by a stockholder present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting has the same legal effect as a vote "against" the matter, even though the stockholder or interested parties analyzing the results of the voting may interpret such a vote differently. MANNER IN WHICH PROXIES WILL BE VOTED The Company proposes to vote management proxies and all unmarked proxies for approval of the election of each of the five nominees to the Board for the terms set forth in this Proxy Statement. In the event that any nominee is not available to serve as a director at the time of the election, which the Company has no reason to anticipate, proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the Company may propose. The Company further proposes to vote the proxies for the election of Miller and McCollom, as auditors for the ensuing fiscal year. The Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the meeting, However, if any other matter properly comes before the meeting, the persons named in the proxy form enclosed will vote in accordance with their judgment upon such matters.
