Please vote your shares of common stock by completing the enclosed proxy card and returning it to us in the enclosed envelope. This proxy statement has information about the annual meeting and was prepared by the Company's management for the board of directors. This proxy statement was first mailed to shareholders on March 31, 2000. 1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING WHO CAN VOTE? You can vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned the shares on March 9, 2000. A total of 22, 327, 072 shares of common stock can vote at the annual meeting. You get one vote for each share of common stock, unless cumulative voting is in effect. Cumulative voting is described on page 5 hereof. The enclosed proxy card shows the number of shares you can vote. HOW DO I VOTE BY PROXY? Follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to vote on each proposal to be considered at the annual meeting. Sign and date the proxy card and mail it back to us in the enclosed envelope. The proxyholders named on the proxy card will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not vote on a proposal, the proxyholders will vote for you on that proposal. Unless you instruct otherwise, the proxyholders will vote for each of the other proposals to be considered at the meeting. WHAT IF OTHER MATTERS COME UP AT THE ANNUAL MEETING? The matters described in this proxy statement are the only matters we know will be voted on at the annual meeting. If other matters are properly presented at the meeting, the proxyholders will vote your shares as they see fit. CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I RETURN MY PROXY CARD? Yes. At any time before the vote on a proposal, you can change your vote either by giving the Company's secretary a written notice revoking your proxy card or by signing, dating, and returning to us a new proxy card. We will honor the proxy card with the latest date. CAN I VOTE IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING RATHER THAN BY COMPLETING THE PROXY CARD? Although we encourage you to complete and return the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted, you can attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person. WHAT DO I DO IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN "STREET NAME"? If your shares are held in the name of your broker, a bank, or other nominee, that party should give you instructions for voting your shares. 2 HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED? We will hold the annual meeting if holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote either sign and return their proxy cards or attend the meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote on any of the proposals listed on the proxy card. If your shares are held in the name of a nominee, and you do not tell the nominee by April 25, 2000 how to vote your shares (so-called "broker nonvotes"), the nominee can vote them as it sees fit only on matters that the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ") determines to be routine, and not on any other proposal. Broker nonvotes will be counted as present to determine if a quorum exists but will not be counted as present and entitled to vote on any nonroutine proposal. WHO PAYS FOR THIS PROXY SOLICITATION?

Proxyholders can cumulate the shares they are entitled to vote as they see fit. NOMINATIONS. At the annual meeting, we will nominate the persons named in this proxy statement as directors.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE GENERAL PHILOSOPHY ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Committee's goal are to: - - provide compensation competitive with other similar companies; - - reward executives consistent with the performance of the Company; - - recognize individual performance; - - retain and attract qualified executives; and - - encourage executives to increase shareholder value. To achieve these goals, the Committee has put in place an executive-compensation program with three basis elements: base salary, annual cash bonus, and stock options. BASE SALARY. The Committee determines the base salary of each executive officer other than the CEO. The Committee considers competitive industry salaries, the nature of the officer's position, the officer's contribution and experience, and the officer's length of service. ANNUAL CASH BONUS. Before the beginning of each year, the Committee sets specific annual performance targets for each executive officer. The performance targets are tailored to the officer's position. They can be based on net income, return on equity, customer satisfaction, and other factors. The Committee sets each annual bonus based on the officer's success in meeting or exceeding the performance targets. STOCK OPTIONS. If proposal No. 3 is adopted, the Committee will grant options to an executive officer when the officer is hired, when the officer is promoted, and during the officer's existing employment. The Committee determines the number of options to be granted to an officer based on the officer's level of responsibility. Options vest over a four-year period. The Committee believes that the use of stock options ties a significant portion of an officer's compensation to increases in the price of the Company's stock realized by all of the Company's shareholders. 7 INTERNAL REVENUE CODE LIMITS Section 162(a) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to the corporation's chief executive officer or to any of the four other most highly compensated executive officers. The statute exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Committee currently intends to structure its executive-compensation packages to meet these requirements. 8 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION None of the Compensation Committee members is or has been a Company officer or employee. No Company executive officer currently serves on the Compensation Committee or any similar committee of another public company.

The Company did not have an option plan in 1999. SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING REQUIREMENT Our directors and executive officers must file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating the number of shares of the Company's common stock they beneficially own and any changes in their beneficial ownership. Copies of these reports must be provided to us. Based on our review of these reports and written representations from the persons required to file them, we believe each of our directors and executive officers filed all the required reports during 1999. 10 PROPOSAL NO. 2 INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES At the annual meeting, you will be asked to vote to approve an increase in authorized shares of the Common Stock, from 30,000,000 to 100,000,000 (the "Share Increase"). We recommend that you vote for it. VOTE REQUIRED. If a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting are voted for the Share Increase., the Share Increase will be approved. POTENTIAL USES OF SHARE INCREASE. An increase in the amount of authorized shares of common stock of the Company will allow the Company to issue additional shares of common stock to (i) raise capital though private or public offerings, (ii) fund its Employee Stock Option Plan or (iii) offset any debt to its vendors and other creditors with issuances of shares of common stock. EFFECT OF SHARE INCREASE. If the Company issues additional shares, such issuances will dilute the current percentage ownership of all holders of the Company's common stock. In addition, such issuances may dilute the current value per share of each outstanding share of common stock Total Number of Shares Covered 3,000,000 Administration The board of directors administers the Plan. Eligible Persons Officers and other key employees of the Company. Exercise Price Generally the closing price of the Company's Common stock on the date we grant the option, but could be lower. 11 Term of Options Generally 10 years, but could be a shorter period. Vesting of Options Options will generally vest over a four-year period, with 25% of the options becoming exercisable on each anniversary of the date the option was granted. But we can alter this vesting schedule. Exercise of Options The holder of an option can choose to pay the Exercise price of the option in cash, with the Companys common stock (valued at the closing price of the common stock on the exercise date) or by a cashless exercise. In a cashless exercise, the optionholder irrevocably instructs his or her stockbroker to sell the shares to be acquired upon exercise of the option and pay the exercise price to the Company. Transferability Options are not transferable except by will or By intestate succession. Acceleration of Vesting of Options If a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the options will vest immediately and become exercisable in full unless we determine otherwise before the event. Term of Plan The Plan will expire on January 20, 2010, unless we terminate it earlier. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO OPTION -HOLDERS. All options granted under the Plan will be nonstatutory options. An option-holder will not recognize any taxable income when the option is granted. But when the option is exercised, the option-holder will recognize ordinary income for tax purposes measured by the excess of the then fair market value of the shares over the exercise price. In certain circumstances, where the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture when acquired, the date of taxation may be deferred unless the option-holder files an election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code within 30 days after the exercise. The income recognized by an option-holder who is also a Company employee will be subject to tax withholding by the Company by payment of cash or out of the current earnings paid to the option-holder who is also a Company employee will be subject to tax withholding by the Company by payment of cash or out of the current earnings paid to the option-holder. When shares are resold by the option-holder, any difference between the sale price and the exercise price, to the extent not recognized as ordinary income as provided above, will be treated 12 as capital gain or loss. The Company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the option-holder. This is only a summary of the federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise of options under the Plan. It is not a complete statement of all tax consequences. In particular, we have not discussed the income tax laws of any municipality, state, or foreign country where an optionee resides.
