TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF

     Notice is hereby given that an extraordinary and special general meeting of
PORTACOM WIRELESS, INC. (the "Company") will be held at 8055 Manchester Avenue, 
Suite 730, Playa del Rey, California, U.S.A., on Monday, the 23rd day of
December, 1996 at nine o'clock in the morning (9:00 a.m.) for the following
purposes:     

     1.   to consider and if deemed advisable, to pass a Special Resolution
          authorizing the Company to change its jurisdiction of incorporation
          from British Columbia, Canada to Wyoming, U.S.A., by way of a
          continuation under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act and the
          adoption by the Company of By-laws under Wyoming corporate legislation
          in substitution of the Company's current Memorandum;

     2.   to consider and if deemed advisable, to pass a resolution authorizing
          the Company to subsequently change its domicile from Wyoming to
          Delaware to be accomplished by the merger of the Company with and into
          a wholly owned Delaware corporation formed solely for the purpose of
          completing the merger;

     3.   to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass a resolution authorizing
          the Company to issue 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred
          stock;

     4.   to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass a resolution authorizing

          meeting or any adjournments thereof.
    
     Stockholders should note that Proposals 1 and 2 are mutually conditioned, 
such that a vote against either proposal will constitute a vote against both 
proposals.     
    
     Stockholders should also note that Proposal 1 is a "Special Resolution" 
and, accordingly, an affirmative vote of 75% of shares present and eligible to 
vote is required for approval, while Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote 
only of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.     

 
     The text of the Special Resolution authorizing the Company to continue
under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act is set out in Exhibit D to
the Proxy Statement (Information Circular) which accompanies this notice.

     The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 18, 1996

jurisdiction of incorporation from British Columbia to the State of Wyoming. As
a result of giving a notice of dissent you may, on receiving a notice of
intention to act under Section 231 of the Company Act (British Columbia),

                                PROXY STATEMENT
                            (INFORMATION CIRCULAR)

                            ______________________

     This Proxy Statement (generally referred to in British Columbia as an
Information Circular, hereinafter referred to as "Proxy Statement") is furnished
in connection with the solicitation by the management of PortaCom Wireless,
Inc., a British Columbia, Canada, corporation (the "Company") of proxies to be
used at the extraordinary and special general meeting of stockholders of the
Company to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Extraordinary and Special General Meeting. The
solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of the Company and all the expenses of
soliciting proxies from stockholders will be borne by the Company. In addition
to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, officers and regular
employees may communicate with stockholders personally or by mail, telephone,
telegram or otherwise for the purpose of soliciting such proxies, but in such
event no additional compensation will be paid to any such persons for such
solicitation. The Company will reimburse banks, brokers and other nominees for
their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding soliciting material to
beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. The approximate date
on which this Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being first
sent or given to stockholders is November 22, 1996.

                        PROPOSALS MUTUALLY CONDITIONED

     Stockholders should note that Proposal 1 (seeking authorization for the
Company to change its domicile to Wyoming, U.S.A.) and Proposal 2 (seeking
authorization for the Company to subsequently reincorporate in Delaware, U.S.A.)
are mutually conditioned. As a consequence, a vote against either proposal will
constitute a vote against both proposals. Additionally, in the event Proposals 1
and 2 are approved and any one or more of Proposals 3-5 are not approved, the
Company shall cause its Delaware subsidiary to amend its Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, as the case may be, to eliminate the provisions in such
documents which do not receive stockholder approval prior to merging with its
Delaware subsidiary and consummating the Delaware Reincorporation.

                     APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
    
     The persons named in the enclosed proxy are directors or officers of the
Company. A stockholder desiring to appoint some other person to represent him at
the meeting may do so by striking out the printed names and inserting such      

 
    
person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and depositing
the completed proxy with Pacific Corporate Trust Company, 830-625 Howe Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3D8, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays
and holidays, preceding the meeting or an adjournment of the meeting. The other
person need not be a stockholder of the Company.      

     A stockholder who has given a proxy may revoke it either (a) by signing a
proxy bearing a later date and depositing as aforesaid, or (b) by attending the
meeting in person and registering with the scrutineers as a stockholder
personally present, or (c) by an instrument in writing signed by the
intermediary or shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing, and, in the
case of a corporation, executed under its corporate seal or signed by a duly
authorized officer or attorney for the corporation and either delivered to the
registered office of the Company at Suite 1020, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver,
British Columbia, V6C 3A8 at any time up to and including the last business day
preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or deposited with
the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, prior to the hour of
commencement, or (d) in any other manner provided by law.

                       EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

     The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the shares on any
poll in accordance with the direction of the stockholder appointing them.  IN
THE ABSENCE OF ANY DIRECTION, IT IS INTENDED THE SHARES WILL BE VOTED FOR ALL
PROPOSALS SET OUT IN THE PROXY.

     The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons
named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters itemized in
the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary and Special General Meeting or on any
other matter that may properly come before the Meeting.  At the time of printing
of this Proxy Statement, the management of the Company knew of no other matters
that may properly come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the
accompanying Notice of Extraordinary and Special Meeting.

                               VOTING OF SHARES

     On the date of the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary and Special General
Meeting the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares and had
outstanding 11,956,010 such shares, each carrying the right to one vote, so that
the aggregate number of votes attaching to all the outstanding shares is
11,956,010.  In addition, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 Class
"A" preferred shares and 100,000,000 Class "B" preferred shares, none of which
are outstanding.  November 18, 1996, has been fixed in advance by the directors
as the record date for the purpose of determining members entitled to notice of
the meeting and to vote thereat.  This proxy statement has been mailed on or
about November 22, 1996, to all stockholders of record at the close of business
on November 18, 1996 and to intermediaries in compliance with National Policy
No. 41 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

     Pursuant to British Columbia law, voting at the Meeting would be by a show
of hands, each shareholder having one vote, unless a poll is requested or
required (if the number of shares represented by proxies that are to be voted
against a motion are greater than 5% of the votes that could be cast at the
Meeting), in which case each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share
held. It is anticipated that a poll will be requested. In order to approve a
motion proposed at the Meeting in accordance with British Columbia law, a
majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast either in person or by proxy is
required (an "ordinary resolution") unless the motion requires a Special
Resolution in which case a majority of 75% of the votes cast in person or by
proxy will be required. The resolution to continue the Company's jurisdiction of
incorporation from British Columbia to Wyoming requires a Special Resolution.
The motion to effect the reincorporation from Wyoming to Delaware and the
related Proposals 3-5 referred to herein must, pursuant to Wyoming law, be
passed by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock entitled to vote.

                                       2

 
     Abstentions and broker non-votes are included in the determination of the
number of shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a
quorum.  Abstentions and broker non-votes, however, do not constitute a vote
"for" or "against" against any special resolution and thus will be disregarded
in the calculation of a plurality or of "votes cast."  Accordingly, abstentions
and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the motions.
    
     The persons named in the accompanying Proxy as proxyholders are directors
or senior officers of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER OR AN INTERMEDIARY HOLDING
SHARES AND ACTING ON BEHALF OF AN UNREGISTERED SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO
APPOINT A PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND AND ACT ON HIS BEHALF
AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY AS PROXYHOLDERS. TO
EXERCISE THIS RIGHT, THE SHAREHOLDER OR INTERMEDIARY MUST STRIKE OUT THE NAMES
OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY AS PROXYHOLDERS AND INSERT THE NAME OF HIS
NOMINEE IN THE SPACE PROVIDED.     

     A shareholder or intermediary acting on behalf of a shareholder may
indicate the manner in which the persons named in the enclosed Proxy are to vote
with respect to any matter by checking the appropriate space. On any poll
required by virtue of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company being
represented by proxies at the Meeting that are to be voted against a matter or
by a shareholder or proxyholder requesting a poll, those persons will vote or
withhold from voting the shares in respect of which they are appointed in
accordance with the directions, if any, given in the Proxy provided such
directions are certain.

     If the shareholder or intermediary acting on behalf of a shareholder wishes
to confer a discretionary authority with respect to any matter, then the space
should be left blank. IN SUCH INSTANCE, THE PROXYHOLDER, IF ONE PROPOSED BY
MANAGEMENT, INTENDS TO VOTE THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOR OF THE
MOTION. The enclosed Proxy, when properly signed, also confers discretionary
authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in
the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may be properly
brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Proxy Statement, the
management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or
other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. If, however, other
matters which are not now known to the management should properly come before
the Meeting, the Proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in
accordance with the best judgment of the nominees.

     The Proxy must be dated and signed by the shareholder or by his attorney
authorized in writing or by the intermediary acting on behalf of a shareholder.
In the case of a corporation, the Proxy must be executed under its corporate
seal or signed by a duly authorized officer or attorney for the corporation.

     COMPLETED PROXIES TOGETHER WITH THE POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHER AUTHORITY,
IF ANY, UNDER WHICH IT WAS SIGNED OR A NOTARIALLY CERTIFIED COPY THEREOF MUST BE
DEPOSITED WITH THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER AGENT, PACIFIC CORPORATE TRUST COMPANY, OF
SUITE 830, 625 HOWE STREET, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, V6C 3B8, AT LEAST 48
HOURS (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS AND HOLIDAYS) BEFORE THE TIME OF THE MEETING OR
ADJOURNMENT THEREOF. UNREGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS WHO RECEIVED THE PROXY THROUGH AN
INTERMEDIARY MUST DELIVER THE PROXY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY
SUCH INTERMEDIARY.

     The person duly appointed under any instrument of proxy will only be
entitled to vote the shares represented thereby if the instrument of proxy
together with any instrument which may be required as set out in the instrument
of proxy is deposited with Pacific Corporate Trust Company at the address
aforesaid not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays and holidays, preceding
the meeting or an adjournment of the meeting.

                                       3

 
     Notice of the meeting was filed in accordance with National Policy No. 41
of the Canadian Securities Administrators (Stockholder Communication), with
securities administrators of jurisdictions wherein the Company's registered
stockholders have their addresses, and given to stock exchanges upon which

                    INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS
                               TO BE ACTED UPON

     None of the directors or senior officers of the Company, nor any person who
has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial
year of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons,
has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of
beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at
the Meeting.

        SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
    
     The following table sets forth, as of November 15, 1996, information with
respect to the securities holdings of all persons which the Company has reason
to believe may be deemed the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock. The following table indicates the beneficial ownership
of such individuals numerically calculated based upon the total number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding. Also set forth in the table is the beneficial
ownership of all shares of the Company's outstanding stock, as of such date, of
all directors and executive officers, including such executive officers as are

directors and executive officers as a group. The persons named herein hold sole
voting power and investment power with respect to the shares shown opposite
their respective names, unless otherwise specified. The information with respect

 President and
 CEO of the
 Company (4)
=======================================================================================================================


       (1)  Mr. Frantom served as Chief Executive Officer from June 1995 to
            November 1995.

       (2)  Mr. Mednick served as Chairman of the Board from December 1994 to
            June 1995 and President and Chief Executive Officer from February
            1995 to June 1995.

       (3)  See discussion below regarding the Company's settlement agreement
            with Mr. Mednick concerning his employment agreement.

       (4)  Mr. MacLellan has served as Chief Executive Officer from November
            1995.

                                       7

 
       No LTIP has been instituted by the Company and none are proposed at this
  time.  Accordingly, there is no LTIP Awards Table set out in this Annual
  Report.

       No pension plans or retirement benefit plans have been instituted by the
  Company and none are proposed at this time.  Although the Company has no
  formal bonus arrangements, bonuses are granted at the discretion of
  management.

  The terms and conditions of the employment contracts or arrangements with the
  above mentioned executive officers are as follows:

       On June 19, 1992, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an employment
  agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Howard B. Frantom, whereby he was
  to be employed as its President and Chief Executive Officer of the subsidiary
  for a term of five years.  In addition to his salary, Mr. Frantom received
  250,000 "Performance Shares" of the Company for $.01 per share (which were
  subsequently canceled), and stock options to purchase 250,000 additional
  shares of the Company at C$1.25 per share.  In April, 1994 the terms of the
  Agreement were incorporated into a new Agreement whereby Mr. Frantom became
  employed by another subsidiary of the Company.  The term of employment was
  extended to 1999.  Effective July 26, 1996, Mr. Frantom's employment agreement
  was terminated by mutual agreement, although Mr. Frantom continued to be
  employed by the Company and received a salary until November 1996.

       Effective December 5, 1994, the Company entered into an employment
  contract with Scott Mednick whereby he was employed as Chairman of the Board
  of the Company and of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Mr. Mednick was
  subsequently appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on
  February 10, 1995.  Effective June 19, 1995, Mr. Mednick resigned for personal
  reasons.  His basic compensation was to be at the annual rate of $150,000 and
  he was to be reimbursed up to a maximum of $300,000 for additional expenses
  his businesses would incur as a result of his employment by the Company.  He
  was also to receive certain stock options.  Upon Mr. Mednick's resignation,
  the Company entered into separate settlement agreements, which were
  subsequently amended, with Mr. Mednick and Scott A. Mednick & Associates, Inc.
  (dba The Mednick Group).  Pursuant to the amended settlement agreements, the
  Company would (i) pay Mr. Mednick $200,000 on or before December 31, 1996, and
  (ii) make payments totaling $171,000 to The Mednick Group in full satisfaction
  of the Company's obligations to The Mednick Group which had been paid prior to
  July 31, 1996.  As at the date of this Proxy Statement $155,000 of such 
  payments had been made.

       In November 1995, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
  Douglas C. MacLellan, whereby he is to be employed as its President and Chief
  Executive Officer on a month to month basis, and shall be paid a base salary
  of $168,000 per annum plus reimbursement of expenses.

  COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

       The Company does not currently have a "Compensation Committee" and
  therefor the entire board of directors of the Company constitutes its
  Compensation Committee.  The directors of the Company do not have any specific
  policies for determining compensation of executive officers.  The Company
  intends to name a "Compensation Committee" which will be comprised of certain
  outside directors of the Company.

       The compensation of executive officers is composed primarily of two
  elements; namely a base salary and the allocation of incentive stock options.
  The Company does not award bonuses nor is there any current intention to do
  so.  In establishing the levels of base salary and in granting stock options
  the Board of Directors takes, and the Compensation Committee will take, into
  consideration an individual's performance, level of expertise,

                                       8

 
  responsibilities, length of service to the Company and compensation paid by
  other companies of comparable size and development in the industry.

       The compensation paid to each of the Company's Chief Executive Officers
  during the Company's most recently completed financial year was based upon
  negotiations between each Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors
  following the Board's consideration of candidates for the position of Chief
  Executive Officer.

  COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.

       The Company does not pay independent directors who attend a regularly
  scheduled or special meeting of its Board of Directors.  None of the directors
  of the Company were compensated by the Company or its subsidiaries during the
  most recently completed financial year for their services in their capacity as
  directors, nor for services as consultants or experts.  However, Stephen Leahy
  owns 50% of Mustang Management Ltd., which  received approximately $15,000 for
  rent and administrative services during the fiscal transition period ending
  December 31, 1995.

       INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND INSIDERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

       Save as set forth below, none of the directors or senior officers of the
  Company, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares
  carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares
  of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons has
  any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the
  commencement of the Company's last completed financial year or in any proposed
  transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect the Company.

  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

  1.   Proposed Transaction With AAT
       -----------------------------

       Douglas C. MacLellan, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
  and a Director, owns approximately 1.4% of Asian American Telecommunications
  Corporation, a Cayman Islands corporation ("AAT") with which the Company
  entered an agreement and plan of reorganization on April 26, 1996.  Such
  agreement was subsequently terminated on September 16, 1996.

  2.   Acquisition of PWC
       ------------------

       PortaCom Wireless Communications, Inc. ("PWC"), is a Delaware
  corporation, of which Douglas C. MacLellan owns 43.5%.  The Company entered
  into an agreement to acquire PWC but on July 18, 1996, the Company announced
  that it had terminated the acquisition as it had not yet received regulatory
  approval.

  3.   PortaCom International, Ltd.
       --------------------------- 

       Asia Telecom, Inc., which owns 10% of Telecommunications American
  International, a Nevada corporation ("TAI"), is owned 100% by Howard Frantom's
  spouse, Vera Frantom.  Howard Frantom is a director of the Company.  As of
  December 3, 1995, Asia Telecom, Inc. agreed to sell all of its shares in TAI
  to the Company.  On July 18, 1996, however, the Company announced that it had
  terminated the acquisition as it had not yet received regulatory approval.

  4.   Employment Arrangements
       -----------------------

       The Company has entered into agreements and other employment arrangements
  with certain of its officers and directors.  See "STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE
  COMPENSATION."

                                       10

 
  5.   Funds Advanced and Repaid
       -------------------------

       As of June 30, 1994, the Company owed its Chairman and former Chief
  Executive Officer, Robert Alexander, $112,500 in consulting fees that have
  periodically accrued since inception.  In October, 1995, the total accrued
  debt of $164,500 was settled for 82,250 shares at a deemed price of $2.
  Furthermore, consulting fees ceased to accrue after October 31, 1995.

       On or about July 28, 1993, Morris Magid, the Company's Treasurer,
  provided a $300,000 line of credit available to the Company for a sixty day
  period to be used as a bridge loan until a private placement of Common Stock
  could be completed.  As of March 31, 1995, $140,000 remained outstanding under
  this line of credit.  On July 21, 1995, at Mr. Magid's request, the Company
  applied the amount due, plus interest of  approximately $10,000, towards the
  payment due to the Company by Mr. Magid pursuant to the exercise of 168,000
  options at $1.25 (Cdn) per share.
      
  6.   Compensatory Shares Pursuant to Cancellation of Performance Shares
       ------------------------------------------------------------------

       As compensation for an agreement in October, 1995, by Messrs. Morris 
  Magid, Robert Alexander and Howard Frantom to surrender their 5,950,000
  performance shares which were held under an escrow agreement, the Company has
  agreed to issue, at a deemed price of $2.00 per share (representing the
  approximate trading price of the common stock at that time), 43,516 common
  shares, 271,245 common shares and 1 common share each to Mr. Magid, Mr.
  Alexander, and Mr. Frantom, respectively. The performance shares would have
  vested upon the Company attaining certain financial targets, which were not
  reached due to the underperformance of certain subsidiaries. Accordingly, a
  settlement was reached involving the cancellation of the performance shares
  and the issuance of a lesser number of shares. As of the date of this Proxy
  Statement, none of the aforementioned shares have been issued. The Company
  does not expect to issue any of the compensatory shares while it remains
  subject to the jurisdiction of the Vancouver Stock Exchange and the British
  Columbia Securities Commission because the issuance would require the approval
  of such bodies and the Company has believed that it would effectuate this
  Continuance and Merger before such approval could be obtained.     

                             MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

       Management services for the Company are not, to any material degree,
  performed by persons other than the senior officers of the Company.

                            (PROPOSALS ONE AND TWO)

  INTRODUCTION

       For the reasons set forth below, the Board of Directors believes that the
  best interests of the Company and its stockholders will be served by changing
  the domicile of the Company from British Columbia, Canada, to Delaware, U.S.A.
  (the "Delaware Reincorporation").  The effect of the change of domicile will
  be that the Company shall cease to be a company within the meaning of the
  British Columbia Company Act and will be a corporation under the Delaware
  General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Corporation Law") as if it had been
  incorporated under the Delaware Corporation Law.  STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO
  READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS OF THE PROXY STATEMENT, INCLUDING THE
  RELATED EXHIBITS, BEFORE VOTING ON PROPOSALS WHICH, IF APPROVED, WILL
  AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY TO  CHANGE ITS DOMICILE INITIALLY TO WYOMING, U.S.A. AND
  THEN SUBSEQUENTLY TO DELAWARE.  Throughout this Proxy Statement, the term
  "PortaCom Delaware" refers to the Delaware corporation, a wholly owned
  subsidiary of the Company that was formed by the Company in 1994 in
  anticipation of the Delaware Reincorporation and is the proposed successor to
  the

                                       11

 
  Company.  PortaCom Delaware has been inactive since inception, save that it
  has served as an intermediary holding company for the Company's wholly owned
  operating subsidiaries.
      
       Since it is not possible to reincorporate a British Columbia company
  directly into Delaware (mergers and continuances to jurisdictions not granting
  British Columbia corporations reciprocal rights are not recognized under
  British Columbia law), the Delaware Reincorporation will be effected in two
  steps.  The first step requires the Company to initially change its domicile
  by  filing Articles of Continuance in the State of Wyoming ( a jurisdiction
  that grants British Columbia corporations reciprocal rights with respect to
  continuances) (the "Wyoming Continuation") in substitution for the Company's
  current Memorandum. The Company does not presently have any particular legal
  relationship with or business affiliates in the State of Wyoming. Wyoming was
  selected as the state into which the Company would initially change its
  domicile because Wyoming was the first state to enter into a treaty with
  British Columbia recognizing a continuance, the relevant statute is based on
  British Columbia law, and the practice of effecting a continuance from British
  Columbia into Wyoming is thus familiar to legal practitioners in the State and
  is widely recognized, and hence the Company believes that the appropriate
  mechanics and procedures will be smoothly handled in Wyoming by its local
  counsel and by the appropriate state administrators.     
      
      The discontinuance of the Company to Wyoming under the British Columbia
  Company Act requires (i) Vancouver Stock Exchange approval, (ii) approval by a
  resolution of stockholders passed in general meeting by a majority vote of not
  less than 75% of those voting at the meeting in person or by proxy ("Special
  Resolution"), at which meeting a quorum of one person holding or representing
  by proxy one share of the Company is present, and (iii) the issuance of a
  letter of consent by the Registrar of Companies pursuant to British Columbia
  Company Act Section 37. As of the date of this Proxy Statement the Company had
  received notification from the VSE that the Continuance is acceptable in
  principle, but the Company had not yet received a letter of consent from the
  Registrar of Companies. The Company has no reason to believe that such letter
  of consent will not be issued.      
      
      Upon receipt of such consent and approval, the Company intends to change
  its domicile, briefly, to Wyoming by way of a continuation pursuant to Section
  17-16-1710 of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act (the "Wyoming Corporation
  Act"). Following confirmation of such continuation the Company will
  immediately file the appropriate documents to change the Company's domicile
  from Wyoming to Delaware. The change of domicile from Wyoming to Delaware
  shall be accomplished by the merger (the "Merger") of the Company with and
  into PortaCom Delaware. The continuance of the Company from British Columbia
  to Wyoming gives rise to dissent rights pursuant to the British Columbia
  Company Act. See "Right of Dissent - British Columbia" herein for 
  details.     

       In order to effect the redomiciling of the Company from British Columbia
  to Delaware the meeting of stockholders will be adjourned following the vote
  being taken on the continuance of the Company from British Columbia to Wyoming
  and while the appropriate documents are obtained from the Registrar of
  Companies for British Columbia and filings are made under the Wyoming
  Corporation Act.  Once (and subject to) the Company having been continued to
  Wyoming the meeting of stockholders will be reconvened (with the Company then
  being a Wyoming corporation) to consider the Merger in accordance with the
  applicable laws of Wyoming and Delaware.

       The Merger will be effected in accordance with the terms of the Plan of
  Reorganization and Agreement of Merger, a form of which is attached hereto as
  Exhibit A (the "Merger Agreement").  Upon completion of the Merger, (i) the
  Company will cease to exist, (ii) the stockholders of the Company's Common
  Stock automatically will become the stockholders of PortaCom Delaware, (iii)
  the stockholders' rights, as stockholders of PortaCom Delaware and no longer
  as stockholders of the Company, will be governed by Delaware law, PortaCom
  Delaware's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and PortaCom Delaware's
  Bylaws rather than by British Columbia law, the Company's current Articles and
  Memorandum of the Company, (iv) all options and rights to purchase shares of
  the Company's Common Stock automatically will be converted into options or
  rights to acquire an equal number of equivalent shares of PortaCom Delaware's
  Common Stock, (v) no change will occur in the name, physical location,
  business, management, assets, liabilities or net worth of the Company and (vi)
  the incumbent directors and officers of the Company will serve in their
  respective capacities as directors and officers of PortaCom Delaware.

       Upon consummation of the change of domicile to Wyoming and after the
  effective time (the "Effective Time") of the Merger, the Company will become a
  company governed by the Delaware Corporation Law.  Differences between the
  British Columbia Company Act and the Delaware Corporation Law and between the

                                       12

 
  Company's existing Memorandum and Articles (the "British Columbia Constating
  Documents") and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of
  PortaCom Delaware ("PortaCom Delaware") (the "Delaware Constating Documents"),
  will result in various changes to the capital structure of the Company and in
  the rights of current stockholders of the Company.  By approving the change of
  domicile to Wyoming and the subsequent Merger and Delaware Reincorporation,
  stockholders of the Company will be authorizing the replacement of the British
  Columbia Constating Documents with the Delaware Constating Documents,
  including those provisions of PortaCom Delaware's Restated Certificate of
  Incorporation and Bylaws relating to the limitation of director liability and
  expanded scope of indemnification  of directors, officers and key employees
  under Delaware law, and including those provisions having "anti-takeover"
  implications, which may be of significance to the Company and its stockholders
  in the future.

       Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of the Company's
  Common Stock, no par value, automatically will be converted into one share of
  PortaCom Delaware Common Stock, $0.001 par value, upon the Effective Time.
  Each stock certificate representing issued and outstanding shares of the
  Company's Common Stock will be replaced with new stock certificates
  representing the same number of shares of Common Stock of PortaCom Delaware.
  Following the Merger the Company will cause Letters of Transmittal to be
  delivered to stockholders requesting that stock certificates in the Company be
  delivered to Pacific Corporate Trust Company for replacement by stock
  certificates of PortaCom Delaware.  The Common Stock of the Company is listed
  for trading on the VSE and the EBB, and the Company intends to apply to have
  its common stock quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers
  Automated Quotation System Small Cap Stock Market ("NASDAQ").  Before the
  Merger, the shares of PortaCom Delaware's Common Stock were qualified for such
  listing on the VSE under the symbol "PCW" and on the EBB under the symbol
  "PCWIF".  After the Merger, PortaCom Delaware's Common Stock will be traded on
  the VSE and EBB without any interruption having occurred to the trading of the
  Company's Common Stock because of the Merger.  If the Company's application to
  have its common stock quoted on the NASDAQ is accepted, however, the Company
  anticipates delisting from the VSE and the EBB.
      
       On the day preceding the effective date of execution of the Merger
  Agreement (November 15, 1996), the high and low sales prices of the Company's
  Common Stock as reported by the VSE daily trading summary were $______ and
  $_____ respectively (expressed in U.S. dollars) and the high and low bid
  prices as reported by the EBB at such date were $_____ and $_____,
  respectively. The high and low bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by
  the EBB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or
  commission, and may not represent actual transactions.      

       As part of the Delaware Reincorporation, PortaCom Delaware will assume
  all of the obligations of the Company under the Company's outstanding stock
  options or warrants.  If the Company's stockholders approve the Delaware
  Reincorporation, outstanding stock options or warrants to purchase the
  Company's Common Stock will be exercisable for equivalent shares of PortaCom
  Delaware Common Stock, and all parties holding such options or warrants will
  be entitled to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock.  As part of the
  Delaware Reincorporation, PortaCom Delaware also will assume all other
  employee benefit plans and arrangements of the Company.  The stockholders'
  approval of the Delaware Reincorporation will constitute their approval of the
  assumption by PortaCom Delaware of the options and warrants and all other
  employee benefit plans and arrangements of the Company.

       The discussion set forth below is qualified in its entirety, by reference
  to the Merger Agreement, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of PortaCom
  Delaware (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and the Bylaws of PortaCom
  Delaware, draft copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits A, B and C,
  respectively.  The text

                                       13

 
  of the Special Resolution that will be voted upon at the meeting in order to
  continue the Company to Wyoming is set forth as Exhibit D to this Proxy
  Statement.

       APPROVAL BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE CHANGE OF DOMICILE TO WYOMING AND
  APPROVAL OF THE DELAWARE REINCORPORATION ARE MUTUALLY CONDITIONED. AS A
  CONSEQUENCE, A VOTE AGAINST EITHER PROPOSAL WILL CONSTITUTE A VOTE AGAINST
  BOTH PROPOSALS.  ADDITIONALLY, IN THE EVENT PROPOSALS 1 AND 2 ARE APPROVED AND
  ANY ONE OR MORE OF PROPOSALS 3-5 ARE NOT APPROVED, THE CORPORATION SHALL CAUSE
  PORTACOM DELAWARE TO AMEND ITS CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS, AS THE
  CASE MAY BE, TO ELIMINATE PROVISIONS IN SUCH DOCUMENTS WHICH HAVE NOT RECEIVED
  STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL PRIOR TO MERGING WITH PORTACOM DELAWARE AND CONSUMMATING
  THE DELAWARE REINCORPORATION.

  VOTE REQUIRED; BOARD RECOMMENDATION

       Approval of the change of domicile to Wyoming is a condition precedent to
  the Delaware Reincorporation.  The change of domicile to Wyoming will require
  the affirmative vote of 75% of the stockholders voting at the meeting either
  in person or by proxy.  Approval of the Delaware Reincorporation will require
  the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
  the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote.  Each of the foregoing proposals
  is expressly conditional upon passage of the other.

       THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTES "FOR" THE CHANGE OF
  DOMICILE TO WYOMING AND "FOR" THE DELAWARE REINCORPORATION.

  PRINCIPAL REASONS FOR THE DELAWARE REINCORPORATION

       Advantages of Delaware Corporation Law  For many years, Delaware has
  followed a policy of encouraging incorporation under its jurisdiction.  In
  furtherance of that policy, Delaware has long been the leading state in
  adopting, construing and implementing comprehensive and flexible corporate
  laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations.  As a result,
  Delaware's General Corporation Law has become widely regarded as the most
  extensive and well-defined body of corporate law in the United States.
  Because of Delaware's prominence as the state of incorporation for many major
  corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated an
  ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing
  business needs.  Moreover, the Delaware courts have rendered a substantial
  number of decisions interpreting and explaining Delaware law.  The Delaware
  Reincorporation accordingly will be beneficial to the Company in that it will
  give the Company (i) a greater degree of predictability and certainty
  regarding how the Company's affairs should be conducted in order to comply
  with applicable laws (such predictability and certainty resulting from a large
  body of case law decided under those laws) and (ii) the comfort and security
  resulting from the Company's awareness of the responsiveness of Delaware's
  legislature and courts to the needs of corporations organized under Delaware's
  jurisdiction.  For these reasons, many American corporations have initially
  chosen Delaware as their home state for their state of incorporation or have
  subsequently changed their corporate domicile to Delaware in a manner similar
  to the Delaware Reincorporation.

       Antitakeover Implications.  Delaware, like many other states, permits a
  corporation to adopt a number of measures (through amendment of the corporate
  charter or bylaws or otherwise) designed to reduce a corporation's
  vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts.  The Delaware Reincorporation
  is not being proposed in order to prevent any known attempt to acquire control
  of the Company, obtain representation on the Board of Directors or take any
  significant action affecting the Company.  Such anti-takeover measures, which
  would

                                       14

 
  enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to negotiate with an unsolicited
  bidder, include, but are not limited to, the adoption of severance agreements
  for the Company's management and key employees that become effective upon the
  occurrence of a change in control of the Company and the designation and
  issuance of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which are
  determined by the Board of Directors (subject to the receipt of appropriate
  regulatory approval).  Substantial judicial precedent also exists in the
  Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to such defensive
  measures and as to the conduct of the Board of Directors under the business
  judgment rule with respect to unsolicited takeover attempts, and, in the
  context of a future unsolicited takeover event, such precedent will give the
  Board of Directors greater assurance and confidence that the defensive
  strategies and conduct of the Board of Directors are in full compliance with
  applicable laws and will be effective under the circumstances.

       Certain effects of the Delaware Reincorporation may be considered to have
  antitakeover implications.  Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
  Law, from which PortaCom Delaware does NOT intend to opt out, restricts
  certain "business combinations" with "interested stockholders" for three years
  following the date on which a person becomes an interested stockholder, unless
  the Board of Directors approves the business combination.  The British
  Columbia Company Act does not contain comparable provisions with respect to
  business combinations.  See "Comparison of Stockholder Rights - Anti-Takeover
  Provisions and Interested Stockholders."

       The Board of Directors believes that unsolicited takeover attempts may be
  unfair or disadvantageous to the Company and its stockholders because:

       a.  a non-negotiated takeover bid may be timed to take advantage of
           temporarily depressed stock prices;

       b.  a non-negotiated takeover bid may be designed to foreclose or
           minimize the possibility of more favorable competing bids; and

       c.  a non-negotiated takeover bid may involve the acquisition of only a
           controlling interest in the Company's stock, without affording all
           stockholders the opportunity to receive the same economic benefits.

      By contrast, in a transaction in which an acquiror must negotiate with an
  independent board of directors, such board of directors can and should take
  account the underlying and long term values of the Company's assets, the
  possibilities for alternative transactions on more favorable terms, the
  possible advantages of a tax-free reorganization, the anticipated favorable
  developments in the Company's business not yet reflected in the stock price
  and the equality of treatment of all the Company's stockholders.

      Directors' Liability and Indemnification.  Over the past decade, the
  frequency and magnitude of claims and litigation against directors and
  officers of corporations have increased.  Over the same period, the cost of
  directors' and officers' insurance policies has increased substantially, with
  the amount of risk covered by such policies having significantly decreased.
  As a result, and because potential personal liability associated with service
  as a director or officer of a corporation can be significant, it has become
  increasingly difficult for corporations to find and retain talented and
  experienced directors and officers.  The Delaware Reincorporation will enable
  the Company to reduce the potential personal liability of members of the Board
  of Directors associated with their service as directors and to expand the
  scope of the Company's indemnification of its directors and officers, which
  should enable the Company to continue finding and retaining talented and

                                       15

 
  experienced directors and officers.  In addition, the Delaware Reincorporation
  would eliminate the requirement of British Columbia law that a majority of the
  Board of Directors shall be Canadian residents.

  POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES

      Despite the unanimous belief of the Board of Directors that the Delaware
  Reincorporation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,
  it should be noted that Delaware law has been criticized by some commentators
  on the grounds that it does not afford minority stockholders the same
  substantive rights and protections as are available in a number of other
  states.  For a comparison of stockholders' rights and the powers of management
  under Delaware and British Columbia law, see "Comparison of Stockholder
  Rights."

      Despite the unanimous belief of the Board of Directors as to the benefits
  to stockholders of the Delaware Reincorporation, the Delaware Reincorporation
  may be disadvantageous to the extent that it has the effect of discouraging a
  future takeover attempt that is not approved by the Board of Directors but may
  be deemed by a majority of the stockholders to be in their best interests
  (because, for example, the possible takeover could cause stockholders to
  receive a substantial premium for their shares over their then current market
  value or over the stockholders' cost basis in such shares).  As a result of
  such effects of the Delaware Reincorporation, stockholders who might wish to
  participate in a tender offer may not have an opportunity to do so.  In
  addition, to the extent that the Delaware Reincorporation will enable the
  Board of Directors to resist a takeover or a change in control of the Company,
  the Delaware Reincorporation could make it more difficult to change the
  existing Board of Directors and management.

  NO CHANGE IN THE BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT, EMPLOYEE PLANS OR LOCATION OF PRINCIPAL
  FACILITIES OF THE COMPANY.

      The change of domicile to Wyoming and the Delaware Reincorporation that
  follows will effect only a change in the legal domicile of the Company and
  other changes of a legal nature, certain of which are described in this Proxy
  Statement.  The Delaware Reincorporation will NOT result in any change in the
  business, management, fiscal year, assets or liabilities or location of the
  principal facilities of the Company.  PortaCom Delaware will assume the
  obligations of the Company under the outstanding convertible securities,
  options and warrants and all other employee benefit plans of the Company, and
  upon the Effective Time each convertible security, option or warrant will be
  converted into a convertible security, option or warrant to purchase the same
  number of shares of PortaCom Delaware Common Stock, at the same price per
  share, under the same terms and subject to the same conditions as previously
  set forth. Stockholders should note that their approval of the Reincorporation
  Proposal also will constitute their approval of the assumption by PortaCom
  Delaware of the Company's obligations.  As noted above, after the Merger, the
  shares of Common Stock of PortaCom Delaware will continue to be traded,
  without interruption, in the same principal markets or, if the Company's
  application thereto is accepted, on the NASDAQ.

  REGULATORY APPROVAL

      The change of domicile of the Company from British Columbia , Canada to
  Delaware, by way of continuation under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act
  and subsequent Merger and Delaware Reincorporation may be deemed to constitute
  the issuance and sale of securities within the meaning of the U.S. Securities
  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  The deemed issuance of
  securities  will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be
  effected in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10)
  thereunder.  As a basis for that exemption, and before the change of domicile
  to either Wyoming or Delaware becomes effective, the terms and conditions of
  such changes of domicile must be approved by the

                                       16

      
  California Commissioner of Corporations as fair to the Company's stockholders
  following a hearing at which all of the stockholders of the Company are
  entitled to appear. The Company has submitted to the jurisdiction of the
  California Department of Corporations because its corporate headquarters are
  located in California and because, out of a total of 91 record holders of the
  Company's common stock, 26 are California residents holding in the aggregate
  16% of the outstanding common stock. In addition, although many of his shares
  are held in street name, the Company is aware that a single shareholder,
  Morris J. Magid, a resident of Los Angeles, California, beneficially owns or
  controls 11.3% of the outstanding common stock.     
      
      The fairness of the changes of domicile are being reviewed by the Los
  Angeles Office of the California Department of Corporations, which is located
  at 3700 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90010. A Notice of Hearing
  providing specific information as to the time and place of the California
  hearing will be mailed to all shareholders of record in advance of the
  hearing. Any determination by the California Department of Corporations will
  not affect any stockholders' rights to dissent or exercise their appraisal
  rights.     

      Before mailing this Proxy Statement, the Company filed applications for
  permits authorizing the sale and issuance of securities with the California
  Commissioner of the Corporations pursuant to Section 25121 of the California
  Corporate Securities Law of 1968, and requested pursuant to Section 25142 that
  the Commissioner hold a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions
  of the change of domicile to Wyoming and the subsequent Merger and Delaware
  Reincorporation to the Company's stockholders.  The Company has advised the
  Commissioner that, if the Commissioner determines the transactions to be fair
  to the Company's stockholders, that determination will form the basis for
  effecting the continuance without registration under the Securities Act in
  reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10).

  COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.

      Subject to stockholder and regulatory approval, prior to the effective
  time (the "Effective Time") of the Merger, the Company will change its
  domicile to Wyoming by way of a continuance under the Wyoming Business
  Corporation Act (the "Wyoming Corporation Act") and shall thereafter be
  governed by corporate charter documents adopted in accordance with the Wyoming
  Corporation Act.  Upon its continuance from British Columbia and the issuance
  of a Certificate of Continuation in Wyoming, the Company will become "PortaCom
  Wireless, Inc.", a Wyoming corporation ("PortaCom Wyoming") and the
  outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be deemed for all
  purposes to evidence ownership of, and to represent, shares of PortaCom
  Wyoming.

  MATERIAL CHANGES IN CONSTATING DOCUMENTS

      The Delaware Constating Documents effectively amend the British Columbia
  Constating Documents by (i) authorizing the issuance of 5,000,000 of $.001 par
  value Preferred Stock to replace the existing 200,000,000 authorized but
  unissued shares of preferred stock, (ii) eliminating the personal liability of
  directors to the fullest extent allowed under Delaware law and (iii) providing
  officers, directors and agents of the Corporation with certain indemnification
  rights in addition to those currently provided. See "Ratification of Material
  Changes in Constating Documents Affecting Stockholders' Rights."

      The Delaware Corporation Law and the Delaware Constating Documents differ
  in many respects from the British Columbia Company Act and the British
  Columbia Constating Documents. It is not practical to summarize all of those
  differences in the Proxy Statement, but all of the principal differences that
  could materially affect the rights of stockholders of the Corporation are
  discussed below. See Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of
  PortaCom Delaware, copies of which are attached to the Proxy Statement as
  Exhibits B and C, respectively.

      Since the Corporation effectively is changing its jurisdiction of
  incorporation from British Columbia, Canada to Delaware, and since the
  proposed change of domicile to Wyoming will not occur unless the subsequent
  Delaware Reincorporation is also approved, a description of the differences
  between Wyoming and Delaware law has not been included in this Proxy
  Statement.

      Quorum of Shareholders.  Under the British Columbia Constating Documents,
  a quorum shall consist of one individual present in person or by proxy and
  holding not less than one voting share of the Company.  The Delaware
  Constating Documents provide that the holders of a majority of the outstanding
  shares entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum.

                                       17

 
      Notice, Adjournment and Place of Stockholders' Meetings.  The British
  Columbia Company Act requires that notice of stockholders' meetings be given
  at least twenty-one (21) days before a meeting unless the stockholders waive
  or reduce the notice period by unanimous consent in writing.  The Delaware
  Constating Documents require such notice to be given between ten (10) and
  sixty (60) days before a meeting.

      Both British Columbia and Delaware law provide for adjournments of
  stockholders' meetings.  The British Columbia Constating Documents require
  notice of the adjournment if the adjournment is for ten (10) days or more.
  Delaware Corporation Law requires that if the adjournment is for more than
  thirty (30) days or if a new record date is fixed, notice must be given to the
  stockholders as for an original meeting.

      The British Columbia Company Act requires all meetings of stockholders to
  be held in British Columbia unless the prior consent of the British Columbia
  Registrar of Companies is obtained to hold a meeting outside the province.
  The Delaware Corporation Law permits meetings of stockholders to be held at
  such place as is designated by or in the manner provided in the bylaws, or, if
  not so designated, at the registered office of the company in Delaware.

      Stockholder Consent in Lieu of Meeting.  British Columbia law provides
  that written consent in lieu of a meeting can only be utilized where a company
  is not a reporting company.  The Company is a reporting company in British
  Columbia.  Therefore, the British Columbia Constating Documents do not provide
  for stockholder consent in lieu of a meeting.

      The Delaware Corporation Law provides that any action that may be taken at
  a stockholders' meeting may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice
  and without a vote if a consent in writing is signed and dated by the holders
  of shares having at least the number of votes necessary to pass such a
  resolution at a stockholders' meeting unless the corporation's certificate of
  incorporation provides otherwise.  No written consent will be effective to
  take the corporate action to which it refers, unless written consents
  sufficient to take the action are delivered to the corporation within sixty
  (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered.  The Delaware Constating
  Documents currently permit written consent in lieu of a stockholder's meeting.
  There is no similar provision in the British Columbia Constating Documents.

      Director Qualifications, Election and Removal of Directors and Filling
  Vacancies on the Board of Directors.  The British Columbia Constating
  Documents provide that the Company shall have at least three directors but not
  more than 15 directors.  The British Columbia Company Act requires that a
  company have at least three (3) directors.  The majority of the directors must
  be ordinarily resident in Canada, and one (1) director must be ordinarily
  resident in the Province of British Columbia.  The directors may not be
  persons under the age of eighteen (18), undischarged bankrupts, persons found
  to be mentally infirm, corporations, or persons convicted of certain offenses
  relating to corporate activities or fraud or that had certain registrations
  with the British Columbia Securities Commission canceled.

      Except as may otherwise be provided in the certificate of incorporation or
  in specific provisions of the Delaware Corporation Law, a Delaware corporation
  is required to be managed by a board of directors consisting of one (1) or
  more members.  The number of directors or the manner of selecting them must be
  included in the corporation's bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation
  fixes the number of directors.  The certificate of incorporation or the bylaws
  may prescribe certain requirements for directors, including that they be
  stockholders.  PortaCom Delaware's Certificate of Incorporation provides that
  the size of its board of directors shall be fixed by resolution of the Board
  but contains no provisions regarding directors' qualifications.

                                       18

 
      Under both the British Columbia Constating Documents and the Delaware
  Constating Documents, directors are elected at each annual meeting.  Both the
  British Columbia Constating Documents and the Delaware Constating Documents
  provide that, subject to certain limitations, vacancies on the Board may be
  filled by the remaining directors for the remainder of the unexpired term,
  even where the remaining directors constitute less than a quorum of the Board
  of Directors.  The British Columbia Constating Documents provide that between
  annual general meetings of stockholders the directors may appoint additional
  directors, provided that the number of additional directors does not exceed
  one-third of the number elected at the last annual meeting.  The Delaware
  Constating Documents provide that any vacancy resulting from an increase in
  the number of directors may be filled by the remaining directors for the
  remainder of the current term of the new directorship.

      Under the British Columbia Company Act, directors generally may be removed
  before the expiration of their term by a special resolution approved by
  seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes cast on the resolution at a meeting
  called for that purpose, and a replacement for the director so removed may be
  appointed by an ordinary resolution approved by a majority of the votes cast.

      The Delaware Constating Documents provide that the directors may be
  removed with or without cause by a vote of a majority of all holders of voting
  stock.

      Right to Call Special Meetings and Nomination of Directors.  Under the
  British Columbia Company Act, stockholders holding in aggregate not less than
  ten percent (10%) of the shares having the right to vote at a meeting at which
  directors will be elected may nominate directors by delivering such nomination
  to the company's registered office not less than thirty-five (35) days before
  the date of the meeting.  The British Columbia Company Act also provides that
  the holders of five percent (5%) of the issued shares with a right to vote at
  a general meeting can requisition the calling of a general meeting within four
  (4) months of the date of the requisition.  Stockholders may deliver to the
  Company's registered office at least eight (8) days before the date the
  Company is required to send out notice of the requisitioned meeting a written
  statement not exceeding one thousand (1,000) words explaining the position of
  the requisitionists for inclusion in the information circular being sent to
  stockholders in respect of the meeting.

      Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission provide that any
  stockholder may nominate directors and bring other business before an annual
  stockholders meeting by delivering written notice of the nomination or other
  business to the company's head office generally one hundred and twenty (120)
  days prior to the date specified in the previous year's proxy materials for
  the current year's meeting.  Under the Delaware Corporation Law, a special
  meeting of stockholders may be called by the board of directors or by any
  other person authorized to do so in the certificate of incorporation or the
  bylaws.  The Delaware Constating Documents permit a special meeting to be
  called by the president, the chairman of the board of directors, a majority of
  the directors or stockholders entitled to cast at least 10% of the votes at
  the meeting.

      Amendment to Internal Affairs.  Under the British Columbia Company Act,
  any amendment to the articles or memorandum of a company will generally
  require approval by Special Resolution, which is a resolution passed by a
  majority of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes cast by
  stockholders in person or by proxy on the resolution.  The company also, by
  Special Resolution approved by seventy-five percent (75%) of the holders of
  shares who vote in person or by proxy on such resolution, may create or add
  special rights or restrictions to any shares, whether issued or unissued.

      A separate class resolution of preferred stockholders, if any, must be
  approved by a separate resolution (a) consented to in writing by all holders
  of preferred shares; or (b) presented at a meeting of holders of preferred
  shares, called for such purpose, at which at least ten percent (10%) of the
  issued and outstanding preferred shares

                                       19

 
  are represented in person or by proxy and passed by the affirmative vote of at
  least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes cast.

      The holders of (a) not less than ten percent (10%) of the shares entitled
  to vote and who did vote against the Special Resolution; (b) the holders of
  not less than ten percent (10%) of the class of shares whose rights are
  affected by the Special Resolution and who voted against the Special
  Resolution; or (c) the holders of ten percent (10%) of a series of shares
  whose rights are affected differently from those attached to another series of
  the same share class affected by the Special Resolution, and who voted against
  the Special Resolution, may within fourteen (14) days of the Special
  Resolution apply to the court to have it set aside.  On such an application,
  the court may set aside or affirm the resolution or require the company to
  purchase the shares of any stockholder.

      The Delaware Corporation Law requires the approval of the holders of a
  majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote for any amendment to the
  certificate of incorporation unless the certificate of incorporation requires
  a higher level of approval.  PortaCom Delaware's Certificate of Incorporation
  does not provide for such a higher level.  Whether or not provided in the
  certificate of incorporation, holders of the outstanding shares of a class are
  entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment that would change the
  number of shares authorized in the class, change the par value of the shares
  of such class, or adversely change the powers, preferences, or special rights
  of the shares of the class.  The number of authorized shares in a class,
  however, may be increased or decreased (but not below the number outstanding)
  by a majority vote of the stockholders of the corporation without a class
  vote, if so provided in (a) the original certificate of incorporation, (b) an
  amendment creating the class or adopted before shares of the class were
  issued, or (c) an amendment approved by a majority of the holders of shares of
  the class.

      The Delaware General Corporation law provides that a corporation's bylaws
  may be amended by the corporation's stockholders, or, if so provided in the
  corporation's certificate of incorporation, by the corporation's directors.
  PortaCom Delaware's Certificate of Incorporation provides that PortaCom
  Delaware's directors may amend PortaCom Delaware's bylaws.

      Anti-takeover Provisions and Interested Stockholder.  Except under certain
  circumstances the Delaware Corporation Law prohibits a "business combination"
  between the corporation and an "interested stockholder" within three (3) years
  of the stockholder becoming an "interested stockholder."  Generally, an
  "interested stockholder" is a person or group that directly or indirectly,
  controls fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding voting stock or is
  an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of fifteen
  percent (15%) or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous
  three (3) years.  A "business combination" includes a merger, consolidation,
  sale or other disposition of assets having an aggregate value in excess of ten
  percent (10%) of the aggregate market value of the consolidated assets of the
  corporation or its outstanding stock, and certain transactions that would
  increase the interested stockholder's proportionate share ownership in the
  corporation. This provision does not apply where (a) the business combination
  is approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the date the
  interested stockholder became an interested stockholder; (b) the interested
  stockholder acquired at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the outstanding
  voting stock of the corporation in the transaction in which the stockholder
  became an interested stockholder excluding, for determining the number of
  shares outstanding, shares held by persons who are directors and also officers
  and by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to
  determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be
  tendered; (c) the business combination is approved by a majority of the board
  of directors and the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to
  be cast by disinterested stockholders at an annual or special meeting, (d) the
  corporation does not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national
  securities exchange, authorized for quotation on an interdealer quotation
  system of a registered national securities association, or held by more than
  two thousand (2,000) stockholders unless any of the foregoing results from
  action taken, directly or

                                       20

 
  indirectly, by an interested stockholder or (e) the corporation has opted out
  of this provision.  PortaCom Delaware has not opted out of these provisions
  governing business combinations as permitted under the Delaware Corporation
  Law.

      The British Columbia Company Act does not contain comparable provisions
  with respect to business combinations.  See "Transactions With Officers and
  Directors" below.

      Mergers, Sales of Assets and Other Extraordinary Transactions.  Under the
  British Columbia Company Act, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as
  certain amalgamations, continuances, sales, leases or exchanges of all or
  substantially all the assets of a corporation and other extraordinary
  corporate actions such as liquidations, dissolutions or arrangements, are
  required to be approved by Special Resolution (a resolution passed by a
  majority of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes cast by the
  stockholders who voted on the resolution either in person or by proxy) and, in
  certain cases, such Special Resolution is also required to be approved by
  stockholders separately as a class or series.

      The Delaware Corporation Law provides that, unless otherwise specified in
  a corporation's certificate of incorporation or unless the provisions of the
  Delaware Corporation Law relating to "business combinations" discussed above
  are applicable, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
  corporation's assets, a merger or consolidation of the corporation with
  another corporation or a dissolution of the corporation requires the
  affirmative vote of the board of directors of each constituent corporation
  plus, with certain exceptions, the affirmative vote of a majority of the
  outstanding stock entitled to vote on the proposal.  In a merger, approval by
  the stockholders of a constituent corporation is not required if (a) the
  constituent corporation will be the surviving corporation, its certificate of
  incorporation will not be amended in the merger, its common stock will not be
  diluted by more than twenty percent (20%) and each share of its stock
  outstanding before the merger will be an identical outstanding or treasury
  share after the effective date of the merger; or (b) the corporation is a
  subsidiary of a parent corporation that owns at least ninety percent (90%) of
  the subsidiary's outstanding stock before the merger, and the parent
  corporation is merging the subsidiary into itself or one or more other
  corporations of which the parent owns ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding
  stock.

      Transactions With Officers and Directors.  The British Columbia Company
  Act provides that every director who is in any way, directly or indirectly,
  interested in a proposed contract or transaction with the company must
  disclose the nature and extent of such interest and is liable to account to
  the company for any profit made as a consequence of the company entering into
  such transaction unless he (a) disclosed his interest at the meeting of
  directors where the proposed transaction was first considered; (b) after his
  disclosure, the transaction was approved by the directors and (c) he abstained
  from voting on such transaction; or unless the contract or transaction was
  fair and reasonable to the company and, after full disclosure by the director,
  the transaction is approved by a Special Resolution of the company's
  stockholders.

      Under the Delaware Corporation Law, contracts or transactions in which a
  director or officer is financially interested are not automatically void or
  voidable, if approved by the stockholders or the directors under substantially
  the same circumstances as in British Columbia.  Approval by the stockholders,
  however, requires only a simple majority.  Board approval must be by a
  majority of the disinterested directors, but interested directors may be
  counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

      Dissent Rights.  The British Columbia Company Act provides that
  stockholders of a British Columbia company are entitled to exercise dissent
  rights and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection with
  certain matters including (a) the continuance of the company into another
  jurisdiction; (b) the company providing financial assistance to a person in
  connection with the acquisition by that person of shares in the capital of the

                                       21

 
  company (unless that person either alone or with his associates will end up
  owning not less than 90% of the issued shares of the company and authorization
  by Special Resolution is obtained); (c) the sale, lease or disposition of
  substantially the whole of the business of the company; (d) the alteration of
  the company's memorandum by changing any restriction on the business to be
  carried on by the company or on its powers; (e) any amalgamation of the
  company with another company; (f) where, in the event of the company being
  wound up, the transfer, sale or arrangement of the company's business involves
  the assumption of liability or the payment of money by the stockholders of the
  company.  Stockholders who voted in favor of a resolution in connection with
  the foregoing may not subsequently exercise dissent rights in respect of that
  resolution.

      Under the Delaware Corporation Law, a person generally is entitled to
  demand appraisal of and obtain payment of the fair value of the shares that
  the person holds in a Delaware corporation, if the corporation is party to a
  plan of merger or consolidation.  However, the right to demand appraisal does
  not apply to stockholders if:  (a) they are stockholders of a surviving
  corporation and a vote of the corporation's stockholders is not necessary to
  authorize the merger or consolidation; (b) the shares held by the stockholders
  are of a class or series registered on the New York Stock Exchange or the
  American Stock Exchange, designated as a national market system security on an
  interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities
  Dealers, Inc., or are held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders on the
  date set to determine the stockholders entitled to vote on the merger or
  consolidation.  Notwithstanding the above, appraisal rights are available for
  the shares of any class or series of stock of a Delaware corporation if the
  holders are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation
  to accept for their stock anything except:  (a) shares of stock of the
  corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation; (b)
  shares of stock of any other corporation which, at the effective date of the
  merger or consolidation, will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the
  American Stock Exchange, designated as a national market system security on an
  interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities
  Dealers, Inc., or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; (c) cash in
  lieu of fractional shares of the corporations described in (a) and (b); or (d)
  any combination of the shares of stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares
  described in (a), (b) and (c).

      In a short-form merger under Section 253 of the Delaware Corporation Law,
  a parent corporation and one or more subsidiary corporations of which the
  parent owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares may merge into the parent
  corporation or one of the subsidiaries.  Stockholders of the parent
  corporation in the short-form merger are not entitled to appraisal rights,
  whether the parent corporation survives the merger or not.  Dissenting
  minority stockholders of a disappearing subsidiary in a short-form merger
  under the Delaware Corporation Law are entitled to appraisal rights.

      A Delaware corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation
  that appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series
  of its stock as the result of an amendment to its certificate of
  incorporation, any merger or consolidation to which the corporation is a
  party, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation.
  PortaCom Delaware's Certificate of Incorporation does not expand the appraisal
  rights to which its stockholders otherwise are entitled under the Delaware
  Corporation Law.

      Derivative Actions.  Under the British Columbia Company Act, a
  stockholder, director or any other person who, in the opinion of the court is
  a proper person to apply (a "complainant") may, with leave of the court, bring
  an action in the name of and on behalf of the company to enforce a right, duty
  or obligation owed to the company or to obtain damages for any breach thereof.
  A complainant (as defined above) also may defend, with leave of the court, in
  the name and on behalf of the company, any action brought against the company.
  A stockholder or director may apply to the court for such leave on notice to
  the company if (a) he has made reasonable efforts to cause the directors of
  the company to commence, diligently prosecute or defend the action; (b) he is
  acting in good faith; (c) it is prima facie in the interests of the company
  that the action be brought or defended; and (d) in the

                                       22

 
  case of an application by a stockholder, he was a stockholder of the company
  at the time of the event giving rise to the cause of action.  No action
  brought or defended as a derivative action can be settled or discontinued
  without approval of the court.

      Derivative actions may be brought in Delaware by a stockholder on behalf
  of, and for the benefit of the corporation.  The Delaware Corporation Law
  provides that a stockholder must aver in the complaint that he was a
  stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which he
  complains, and the stockholder must remain a stockholder until the derivative
  action is concluded.  However, no action may be brought by a stockholder
  unless he first seeks remedial action on his claim from his corporation's
  board of directors, unless such a demand for redress is excused.  The board of
  directors of a Delaware corporation can appoint an independent litigation
  committee to review a stockholder's request for a derivative action, and the
  litigation committee, acting reasonably and in good faith, can terminate the
  stockholder's action subject to court's review of such committee's
  independence, good faith and reasonable investigation.  Under the Delaware
  Corporation Law, the court in a derivative action may apply a variety of legal
  and equitable remedies on behalf of the corporation which vary depending on
  the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of the action brought.
  Attorneys' fees may be awarded where prosecuting or settling the action
  confers a specific and substantial benefit on the corporation.

      Oppression Remedy.  The British Columbia Company Act contains an
  oppression remedy that enables the court, if satisfied upon application by a
  complainant (as defined above in "Derivative Action") that (a) the affairs of
  the company are being conducted or the powers of the directors are being
  exercised in an oppressive manner, or (b) some act of the company has been
  done or is threatened or some resolution has been passed or is proposed that
  is unfairly prejudicial, to make any order it considers appropriate, including
  the cancellation of any transaction, the purchase of shares of any
  stockholder, appointment of a receiver, the winding up of the company,
  compensation to the complainant and the rectification of any corporate record.

      Delaware Corporation Law does not provide a statutory remedy specifically
  like the British Columbia Company Act oppression remedy.  However, the
  Delaware law provides a variety of legal and equitable remedies to a
  corporation's stockholders for improper acts or omissions of a corporation,
  its officers and directors.  In an action alleging a breach of fiduciary duty
  by the directors of a corporation the "business judgment rule" must be
  overcome.  Simply stated, the business judgment rule creates a rebuttable
  presumption in court that disinterested directors' decisions have been made in
  good faith, with due care and in the best interests of the corporation, absent
  a showing of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

      Investigations.  The British Columbia Company Act provides that, on
  application by shareholders holding not less than twenty percent (20%) of the
  issued shares of any class of a corporation's stock, or on application of a
  corporation, the court may appoint an inspector to investigate the affairs and
  management of a corporation or its affiliates.

      The Delaware Corporation Law provides that any stockholder has the right
  to inspect the books and records of the corporation upon written demand under
  oath for a purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a
  stockholder.  The stockholder may compel inspection by court order, if the
  corporation refuses to permit such inspection or does not respond within five
  (5) business days.

      The British Columbia Company Act also allows any stockholder to inspect
  the corporate records of a company which is a reporting company under the
  British Columbia Company Act (except for directors' minutes, documents and
  instruments approved by the directors and mortgages created or assumed by the
  Company).

                                       23

 
      Indemnification of Officers and Directors.  Under the British Columbia
  Company Act and pursuant to the British Columbia Constating Documents, the
  Company may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a
  person who acts or has acted at the Company's request as a director or officer
  of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a stockholder or creditor
  against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an
  action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any
  civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a
  party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company
  or such body corporate if (a) he acted honestly and in good faith with a view
  to the best interests of the company and (b), in the case of a criminal or
  administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he
  had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.  In respect
  of an action by or on behalf of PortaCom Delaware or such body corporate, a
  company may, with court approval, provide indemnification against all costs,
  charges and expenses reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with
  such action who fulfill the conditions set forth in (a) and (b) immediately
  above.  The British Columbia Company Act requires court approval of any
  indemnification by a British Columbia corporation.

      The Delaware Corporation Law permits a corporation to adopt a provision in
  its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal
  liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
  damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, with the following
  exceptions: (a) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty; (b) payment of an
  unlawful stock dividend or making an unlawful stock repurchase or redemption;
  (c) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or
  a knowing violation of law; or (d) in any transaction in which the director
  derived an improper personal benefit.  PortaCom Delaware's Certificate of
  Incorporation eliminates the liability of directors of the corporation for
  monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.

      The Delaware Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its
  directors, officers, employees and other agents under circumstances similar to
  those for which the British Columbia Constating Documents provide.  The
  Delaware Constating Documents require PortaCom Delaware to indemnify all such
  persons whom it has the  power to indemnify to the fullest extent legally
  permissible by the Delaware Corporation Law.  PortaCom Delaware's bylaws
  permit PortaCom Delaware to advance expenses to a director or officer,
  provided that the director or executive officer undertakes to repay amounts
  advanced unless it is ultimately determined that such person ultimately is
  entitled to indemnification, and subject to such other conditions as the Board
  may impose.

      Indemnification rights conferred on a person by PortaCom Delaware's bylaws
  are deemed to be contractual, in that their repeal or modification shall have
  prospective effect only and shall not affect rights in effect under the bylaws
  at the time of an alleged occurrence, act or omission that is the basis of a
  proceeding against the person or the corporation.  Indemnification rights to
  which a person becomes entitled under PortaCom Delaware's bylaws continue
  after the person ceases to be a director, officer, employee or other agent of
  PortaCom Delaware.

      Indemnification rights under the Delaware Corporation Law are not
  exclusive.  Accordingly, PortaCom Delaware's bylaws specifically permit
  PortaCom Delaware to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other
  agents pursuant to an agreement, bylaw provision, stockholder vote or vote of
  disinterested directors or otherwise, any or all of which may provide
  indemnification rights broader than those currently available under the
  British Columbia or Delaware indemnification statutes.

      Both the Delaware Constating Documents and British Columbia Constating
  Documents provide that PortaCom Delaware and the Company, respectively, may
  purchase insurance on behalf of those persons entitled to be indemnified by
  the Company.

                                       24

 
      Dividends and Distributions.  Under the British Columbia Company Act,
  directors of a company shall not declare or pay a dividend if there are
  reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, or would after the
  payment be, insolvent.

      The Delaware Corporation Law generally provides that a corporation may
  declare and pay dividends out of surplus (defined as the excess, if any, of
  net assets over stated capital) or, when no surplus exists, out of net profits
  for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding
  fiscal year, subject to any restrictions contained in a corporation's
  certificate of incorporation.  PortaCom Delaware's certificate of
  incorporation contains no such restrictions.  Dividends may not be paid out of
  net profits if the stated capital of the corporation is less than the amount
  of stated capital represented by outstanding preferred stock, if any.

      Preemptive Rights.  Neither the Delaware Corporation Law, nor the British
  Columbia Company Act (with respect to reporting companies), automatically
  provides for preemptive rights to acquire a corporation's unissued stock.
  However, such right expressly may be granted to the stockholders in a
  corporation's certificate of incorporation under the Delaware Corporation Law.
  Neither the Delaware Constating Documents nor the British Columbia Constating
  Documents provide for preemptive rights.

                               RIGHT OF DISSENT

      British Columbia Law.  Pursuant to Sections 37 and 231 of the Company Act
  (British Columbia), any stockholder of the Company who dissents in respect of
  the Special Resolution to continue the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation
  from British Columbia to Wyoming is entitled, upon compliance with appropriate
  procedures, to be paid the fair market value of the shares held by him
  determined as of the day before the Special Resolution was passed.  A copy of
  the relevant sections of the Company Act (British Columbia) is attached hereto
  as Exhibit E.  The following is a summary of the operation of the provisions
  of the Company Act (British Columbia) relating to stockholder's dissent and
  appraisal rights.  Any stockholder of the Company considering the exercise of
  his right of dissent should seek his own legal advice since failure to comply
  strictly with the provisions of the Company Act (British Columbia) may
  prejudice his right of dissent.

      Pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia), a stockholder who wishes
  to dissent in respect of the Special Resolution to continue the Company's
  jurisdiction of incorporation to the laws of Wyoming must give written notice
  of his dissent ("Notice of Dissent") to the Company, no later than 5:00 p.m.
  (Vancouver, British Columbia time) on December 21, 1996.  Notice of Dissent is
  to be delivered by registered mail addressed to the Company at 1020 - 510
  Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3A8.  The giving of a Notice
  of Dissent does not deprive a stockholder of his right to vote on the Special
  Resolution.  A vote against the Special Resolution or the execution or
  exercise of a proxy does not constitute Notice of Dissent.  A stockholder
  however is not entitled to dissenters' rights if such stockholder votes (or
  instructs or is deemed, by submission of any incomplete proxy, to have
  instructed his proxyholder to vote, such as by returning a signed but unmarked
  proxy) any such shares in favor of the Special Resolution, but a stockholder
  may abstain from voting on the Special Resolution, or may vote as a proxy for
  a stockholder whose proxy requires an affirmative vote without affecting his
  dissent rights.

      If the Special Resolution pertaining to the continuation of the Company's
  jurisdiction of incorporation to Wyoming is passed, the Company is required to
  give the dissenting stockholder (the "Dissenting Stockholder") prior notice of
  the Company's intention to act ("Notice of Intention to Act") on the Special
  Resolution and to advise the Dissenting Stockholder of his rights under the
  Company Act (British Columbia).  Within 14 days after the Company giving the
  Notice of Intention to Act, each Dissenting Stockholder must send to the
  Company a written notice containing his name and address, the number of shares
  in respect of which he dissents and a

                                       25

 
  requirement that the Company purchase all such shares (the "Demand for
  Purchase") together with the share certificates representing the shares in
  respect of which he dissents.  A Dissenting Stockholder may not vote or
  exercise or assert any rights of a stockholder in respect of the shares for
  which Notice of Dissent has been given unless the Dissenting Stockholder
  withdraws his Demand for Purchase with the consent of the Company.  Until the
  Dissenting Stockholder is paid in full for such shares, he may exercise and
  assert the rights of a creditor of the Company with respect to such shares.

      The price to be paid to a Dissenting Stockholder for his shares shall, in
  accordance with the Company Act (British Columbia), be the fair value as of
  the day before the date on which the Special Resolution was passed, including
  any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the vote on the Special
  Resolution.

      Either the Dissenting Stockholder or the Company is entitled to apply to
  the Court, which may fix the price and the terms of purchase and sale of the
  shares in respect of which the dissent is made or order that the price and
  terms be established by arbitration or make such consequential orders and give
  such directions as the Court considers appropriate.

      Wyoming Law.  Upon the effectiveness of the change of domicile of the
  Company from British Columbia, Canada to Wyoming, the Company will be subject
  to the provisions of the Wyoming Corporation Act. Accordingly, stockholders
  will have a right of dissent under Sections 17-16-1301 through 17-16-1331 with
  respect to the Delaware Reincorporation (Proposal 2).  A record stockholder
  may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer than all shares registered in his
  name only if he dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any
  one person and notifies the Company in writing of the name and address of each
  person on whose behalf he asserts dissenters' rights. A beneficial stockholder
  may assert dissenters' rights as to shares held on his behalf only if (i) he
  submits to the Company the record stockholder's written consent to the dissent
  not later than the time the beneficial stockholder asserts dissenters' rights
  and (ii) he does so with respect to all shares of which he is the beneficial
  stockholder or over which he has power to direct the vote.

      In order to dissent, a stockholder is required to send to the Company, at
  or before the meeting, a written notice of intent to demand payment ("Notice
  of Intent").  Wyoming Corporations Act sec. 17-16-1321. The Notice of Intent
  should be sent to the Company at 1020 - 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British
  Columbia, V6C 3A8.  A vote against the Delaware Reincorporation, an
  abstention, the return of a signed but unmarked proxy or the execution or
  exercise of a proxy to vote against the Delaware Reincorporation does not
  constitute a Notice of Intent, but a stockholder need not vote his shares
  against the Delaware Reincorporation in order to object. A vote in favor of
  the Delaware Reincorporation will deprive the stockholder of further dissent
  rights with respect to the Delaware Reincorporation, including by return
  of a signed but unmarked proxy.

      If any Notices of Intent are received by the Company and if the Delaware
  Reincorporation is adopted, the Company shall deliver a written dissenters'
  notice ("Dissenters' Notice") within ten days of the approval of the Delaware
  Reincorporation to all stockholders duly submitting Notices of Intent. Wyoming
  Corporation Act sec. 17-16-1322.

      A stockholder receiving a Dissenters' Notice shall have not less than 30
  nor more than 60 days after the date of delivery of such notice to demand
  payment, certify that he acquired beneficial ownership of the shares prior to
  the required date and deposit his share certificates in accordance with the
  Dissenters' Notice. Wyoming Corporation Act sec. 17-16-1323.

      Upon receipt of the payment demand, the Company shall pay each dissenter
  the amount the Company deems to be the fair value of his shares, plus accrued
  interest.  The payment shall be accompanied by a statement

                                       26

 
  of how the Company's estimate of fair value was determined.  Wyoming
  Corporation Act sec. 17-16-1325. A stockholder objecting to the Company's
  estimate of fair value may, but is not required to, submit his own estimate of
  fair value and demand payment of his estimate, less any payment already
  received.  Wyoming Corporation Act sec. 17-16-1328. In the event the Company
  and the stockholders are unable to resolve the matter, the Company is required
  to commence a judicial proceeding within 60 days to determine the fair value
  of the shares.  Wyoming Corporation Act sec. 17-16-1330.

      The foregoing is only a summary of the provisions of the Sections 17-16-
  1301 through 17-16-1331 of the Wyoming Corporation Act. Stockholders
  considering exercising such right of dissent should specifically refer to such
  sections of the Wyoming Corporation Act, a copy of which is attached hereto as
  Exhibit F. A failure to strictly comply with the provisions of the statute may
  prejudice the stockholder's right of dissent. It is suggested that any
  stockholder seeking to exercise such right obtain his own legal advice as to
  the manner of exercising such right and the implication thereof for the
  stockholder.

                              TAX CONSIDERATIONS

  UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY
  COMMON STOCK PRE-CONTINUANCE AND MERGER

      General.  The following section summarizes certain provisions of United
  States federal income tax law that may affect (i) the Company and its
  subsidiaries, and (ii) U.S. Stockholders (as defined below) of the Company.
  Although this summary discusses  the principal tax considerations deemed by
  the Company to be material to a current investment in the Company's Common
  Stock, it does not purport to discuss all of the United States federal income
  tax consequences that may be relevant to such an investment nor will it apply
  to the same extent or in the same way to all investors.  It is based, among
  other things, on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
  (the "Code"), and published judicial decisions, regulations and rulings
  thereunder as in effect on the date of this report, and the assumption that
  the Company will continue to be structured and to operate its business in the
  manner described in this report.  No information is provided herein with
  respect to the effect of any state or local tax law, rule or regulation nor is
  any information provided as to the effect of any foreign tax law (other than
  the federal law of Canada to the extent specifically set forth herein) or any
  provision of United States tax law other than United States federal income tax
  law.  The following summary assumes that the Company will continue to operate
  its current business without material changes in the structure of its
  operations.

      Persons that are not U.S. Stockholders will be taxed differently under
  United States federal income tax law from U.S. Stockholders.  THIS DISCUSSION
  DOES NOT ADDRESS U.S. TAXATION OF NON-U.S. STOCKHOLDERS.  EACH U.S. AND NON-
  U.S. INVESTOR IN THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK OR WARRANTS IS URGED TO CONSULT
  WITH AN INDIVIDUAL TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH
  INVESTOR OF AN INVESTMENT IN SUCH SECURITIES.
   
      The Company and Subsidiaries.  The Company is a holding company
  incorporated in Canada.  All of the Company's business operations are
  conducted itself and by its U.S. subsidiaries in the United States.  The
  Company is subject to tax in Canada and may be subject to tax in the United
  States.  The U.S. subsidiaries are also subject to tax in the United States.
  The U.S. subsidiaries will not be subject to tax in Canada unless they receive
  certain types of Canadian source income or carry on a business through a
  permanent establishment in Canada.      

      U.S. Withholding Tax on Dividends to the Company.  The Company will be
  subject to a U.S. withholding tax on any dividends paid by its U.S.
  subsidiary.  The tax rate is expected to be 6% for dividends paid in 1996,

                                       27

 
  reduced to 5% for dividends paid in 1997, provided the Company qualifies under
  the Canada - U.S. Tax Convention (the "Treaty").  Management does not
  anticipate the payment of dividends for the foreseeable future.  See
  "Dividends."

      Taxation of U.S. Stockholders.  For purposes of this summary, U.S.
  Stockholders generally include stockholders that are (i) corporations or
  partnerships organized under the laws of the United States or any political
  subdivision thereof, (ii) estates or trusts, the income of which, from sources
  without the United States, is includable in gross income for federal income
  tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or
  business within the United States, (iii) United States Citizens, or (iv)
  United States resident aliens (as defined in Section 7701(b) of the Code).
  For purposes of this discussion, U.S. Stockholders do not include persons
  subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt
  organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance
  companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies,
  broker-dealers, and stockholders who acquired their stock through the exercise
  of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.

      Purchase and Sale.  If the Company Common Stock is sold or exchanged, gain
  or loss will be recognized, measured by the difference between the amount
  realized from such sale or exchange and the basis, generally the cost, of the
  Common Stock sold or exchanged.

      Generally, any gain or loss recognized as a result of the foregoing with
  respect to the Company Common Stock held as a capital asset will be a capital
  gain or loss and will either be long-term or short-term depending upon the
  period of time the Common Stock sold or exchanged was held.  A holding period
  of more than one year results in long-term capital gain or loss treatment.
  The maximum rate on long-term capital gains for individuals is 28%.  There are
  limitations on the ability to utilize capital losses to offset ordinary
  income.

      Distributions on Common Stock.  No dividends have been paid by the Company
  to date, and none is anticipated to be paid for the foreseeable future.
  However, U.S. Stockholders receiving dividend distributions with respect to
  the Company's Common Stock would be required to include in gross income for
  United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such
  distributions to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated
  earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld
  from such distributions.  See "Withholding Tax on Dividends to U.S.
  Stockholders."  To the extent that distributions exceeded current or
  accumulated earnings and profits of the Company they would be treated first as
  a return of capital up to the U.S. Stockholder's adjusted basis in the Common
  Stock and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares.

      Withholding Tax on Dividends to U.S. Stockholders.  If any dividends were
  paid by the Company, they would be subject to a Canadian withholding tax.
  Individual U.S. Stockholders of the Company that qualify under the Treaty
  would be subject to a 15% Canadian withholding tax on any dividend
  distributions from the Company.  Certain qualifying corporate U.S.
  Stockholders would only be subject to a 6% withholding tax, reduced to 5% in
  1997.  The withholding tax would be withheld by the Company from dividend
  distributions and paid to the Canadian government.  A U.S. Stockholder may be
  entitled to a U.S. foreign tax credit for any Canadian withholding tax.  In
  connection with a dividend distribution, a domestic corporation that owns 10
  percent or more of the voting stock of the Company may also be entitled to a
  foreign tax credit with respect to Canadian income taxes paid by the Company.
  Complex rules govern the availability and amount of foreign tax credits to
  which a particular U.S. Stockholder may be entitled.  Each U.S. Stockholder
  should consult its own tax advisor regarding the possible availability of a
  foreign tax credit.

                                       28

 
      Information Reporting Requirements.  IRC Section 6046 requires each five
  percent-or-greater U.S. Stockholder of the Company to file Form 5471.  Form
  5471 is an information return designed to help the IRS track U.S. persons
  owning five percent or more of foreign corporations.  EACH U.S. STOCKHOLDER
  SHOULD CONSULT WITH U.S. TAX COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THESE FILING
  REQUIREMENTS.

      Additional Tax Considerations.  Special U.S. tax rules that may be adverse
  to a U.S. Stockholder and that are not discussed herein may apply to a U.S.
  Stockholder that owns, directly or through rules of attribution, 10% or more
  of the voting stock of the Company if the Company is ever classified as a
  controlled foreign corporation ("CFC").  Other adverse U.S. tax rules may
  apply to all U.S. Stockholders if the Company is ever classified as a passive
  foreign investment company ("PFIC") as defined at IRC Section 1296.  PFIC
  status could characterize the gain on the disposition of shares as an excess
  distribution as defined at IRC Section 1291(b) and could result in additional
  tax or an interest charge with respect to distributions.  Management believes
  that the Company is not now a CFC or a PFIC, nor has it ever met the
  definition of a CFC or a PFIC.

  CANADIAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK PRE-
  CONTINUANCE AND MERGER
   
      General. The following is a general summary of certain of the Canadian
  federal income tax considerations relating to a current investor in the
  Company Common Stock, who deals at arm's length with the Company, who is not a
  tax deferred entity such as a deferred income plan, and who holds
  shares of the Company as capital property, all for the purposes of the Income
  Tax Act (Canada) ("ITA").  The summary is based on the current provisions of
  the ITA, regulations thereunder (the "Regulations") and current administrative
  and assessing practices of Revenue Canada, Taxation ("Revenue Canada").  In
  addition, this summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the
  ITA and Regulations publicly announced by the Department of Finance prior to
  the date hereof (collectively, the "Proposed Tax Amendments").  No assurance
  can be given that the Proposed Tax Amendments will be enacted as announced or
  at all.  This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any
  changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or
  action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax
  legislation or considerations which may differ significantly from those
  discussed herein.      

      This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be nor
  should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder of
  shares of the Company.  Accordingly, such persons should consult their own tax
  advisors for advice with respect to their own particular circumstances.

      This summary addresses certain provisions of Canadian federal income tax
  law that may affect Canadian resident stockholders and U.S. stockholders of
  the Company.  For purposes of this summary, U.S. stockholders include U.S.
  resident individuals and U.S. corporations.  U.S. stockholders should seek
  independent advice regarding the income tax consequences of investing in the
  Company Common Stock.
   
      The Company and Subsidiaries.  The Company was incorporated in Canada and
  is subject to tax on its income in Canada. The Company is the parent company
  of U.S. subsidiaries. The U.S. subsidiaries will not be taxed in Canada unless
  they carry on a business through a permanent establishment in Canada or
  receive certain types of Canadian source income.     

      If the Company has a branch in the U.S., it may be subject to income taxes
  in the U.S.  It will be entitled to a credit against Canadian income taxes for
  any such U.S. income taxes, provided the foreign tax credit qualifications are
  met.
   
      Taxation on Disposition.  A disposition or deemed disposition by a 
  holder of Company stock will generally result in a holder realizing a 
  capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by     

                                       29

 
  which proceeds of disposition are greater (or less) than the aggregate of the
  holder's adjusted cost base of the  stock and the costs of such disposition.

      Three-quarters of any capital gain realized by a holder will be included
  in computing the holder's income as a taxable capital gain.  Three-quarters of
  any capital loss realized by a holder may generally be deducted against
  taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition or the three
  preceding taxation years or any subsequent taxation years, subject to detailed
  rules contained in the ITA in this regard.
   
      Distributions on Common Stock.  A dividend received, or deemed to be
  received, on the Common Stock will be included in computing the taxable income
  of an individual holder of Common Stock as a dividend from a taxable Canadian
  corporation, subject to the normal gross up and dividend tax credit
  provisions. While dividends received on the Common Stock by a corporation will
  be included in computing its income, the corporation will generally be
  entitled to deduct an equivalent amount. "A private corporation" as defined in
  the ITA, or any other corporation controlled by or for the benefit of an
  individual or a related group of individuals will generally be liable to pay a
  33-1/3% refundable tax under Part IV of the Act on any deemed dividend
  received to the extent such deemed dividend is deductible in computing the
  corporation's income under the ITA. The amount of any such deemed dividend
  will not generally be included in computing the proceeds of disposition to any
  holder for the purposes of computing any capital gain or loss arising on the
  disposition of the shares to the Company. If the stockholder is a corporation,
  any such capital loss may in certain circumstances be reduced by the amount of
  any dividends, including deemed dividends, which were deductible in computing
  taxable income of the corporate stockholder. Analogous rules apply to a
  partnership or trust of which a corporation is a member or a beneficiary.
    
      Taxation of U.S. Stockholders.  A U.S. Stockholder who holds the Company
  Common Stock as capital property will not be subject to Canadian tax on
  capital gains realized on the disposition of such Common Stock unless the
  Common Stock is "taxable Canadian property" within the meaning of the Income
  Tax Act (Canada), and on which no relief is afforded under the Treaty.  For
  most investors, it is unlikely that the Company Common Stock will be
  considered taxable Canadian property.  However, any stockholder who has been a
  resident of Canada should seek independent tax advice.
    
      All U.S. stockholders, whether or not subject to Canadian income tax on
  the disposition of stock or warrants, will be subject to Canadian withholding
  tax on any dividends received from the Company. Dividends paid on the Company
  Common Stock held by U.S. stockholders not having a permanent establishment or
  fixed base in Canada (within the meaning of the Treaty), will be subject to
  Canadian withholding tax at the Treaty-reduced rate of 15%. Where, however,
  the beneficial owner of the dividend is a company which owns at least 10% of
  the voting stock of the Company, in which case the Treaty-reduced tax rate is
  6% (reduced to 5% in 1997 and thereafter).      

  UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- THE CONTINUANCE AND MERGER
   
      The following summary is a general discussion of certain United
  States federal income tax consequences of the Continuance and Merger. This
  summary is based upon the Code, regulations and rulings now in effect or
  proposed thereunder, current administrative rulings and practice and judicial
  authority, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which may or
  may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences to the Company or its
  stockholders set forth herein. This summary does not discuss all aspects of
  United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular
  investor in light of personal circumstances or to certain types of investors
  subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws
  (for example, life insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign
  investors, dealers in securities and taxpayers subject to the alternative
  minimum tax) and does not discuss any aspect of state, local, Canadian or
  other foreign tax laws.     
    
      The Company has not obtained an opinion from tax counsel or an independent
  accountant in connection with the preparation of this summary. The following
  discussion was prepared by the Company's counsel, Day Campbell & McGill in
  Costa Mesa, California, based on disclosure appearing in proxy statements
  filed by other companies engaged in similar transactions, and was extensively
  reviewed and commented upon as to Canadian law by experienced tax counsel with
  the Canadian firm of Koffman, Birnie & Kalef in Vancouver, British Columbia,
  and by tax accountants with the Vancouver office of the Company's auditors,
  KPMG Peat Marwick, and as to United States law by tax counsel with a United
  States law firm named The Busch Firm in Irvine, California.    
   
      The Continuance and Merger will constitute a reorganization within the
  meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Company will be a party to that
  reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. The
  transitory domicile of the Company as a Wyoming Corporation will be viewed for
  United States federal income tax purposes as an integrated step of a single
  transaction. The discussion below analyzes      

                                       30

    
  the Continuance and Merger as a direct continuation from British Columbia to
  Delaware, because this is how the transactions will be viewed for United
  States federal income tax purposes.     
   
      The following are the material United States federal income tax 
  consequences to the Company and its stockholders: (i) no gain or loss would be
  recognized by the Company of the reorganization; (ii) no gain or loss would be
  recognized by stockholders of the Company, except to holders of the Company
  Common Stock who receive cash upon the exercise of dissenters rights, as
  described herein; (iii) the tax basis of the shares of the Company Common
  Stock held by stockholders of the Company will be unchanged and (iv) the
  holding period of the shares of the Company Common Stock held by stockholders
  of the Company will be unchanged, provided such stock is held as a capital
  asset at the effective time of the reorganization.     
   
      Because stockholders of the Company will hold stock in a domestic
  corporation rather than a foreign corporation as a result of the Continuance
  and Merger, the tax treatment of the Company stockholders who are U.S.
  Stockholders (as defined above under "United States Federal Income Tax
  Considerations--Ownership of the Company Common Stock") may also be affected
  by Section 367(b) of the Code. Under existing regulations issued pursuant to
  Section 367(b) of the Code, since management believes that the Company is not
  presently, nor has it ever been, a CFC or a PFIC (as defined above under
  "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations--Ownership of the Company
  Common Stock") neither the Company nor stockholders of the Company should be
  required to recognize gain under Section 367(b) of the Code. However, under
  proposed regulations pursuant to Section 367(b) of the Code, which regulations
  (with certain exceptions) are proposed to be effective for transactions
  occurring on or after the date which is 30 days after the date on which such
  regulations are finalized, U.S. stockholders of the Company who own less than
  10 percent of the Company could recognize gain, if any, realized on the
  Continuance or Merger, if such proposed regulations are adopted as final
  regulations in the form currently proposed, and if such adoption as final
  regulations occurs more than 30 days before the Continuance takes place. In
  addition, if the proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations in the
  form currently proposed, to the extent of the gain, if any, realized on the
  Continuance or Merger, U.S. Stockholders who own 10% or more of the Company
  will be taxed on their pro rata shares of the Company's cumulative earnings
  and profits that had not been previously subject to U.S. tax and that had been
  accumulated as of the date of Continuance or Merger, even if the proposed
  regulations are finalized after the date of Continuance or Merger.     
   
      For U.S. tax purposes, the U.S. stockholders of the Company Common Stock
  who receive cash upon the exercise of any dissenters rights generally will
  recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash
  received and their aggregate adjusted tax basis in such shares.  Such gain or
  loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss, if such shares have
  been held at the effective time of the Continuance or Merger for more than one
  year. However, stockholders who exercise dissenters' rights and who are
  considered for United Stated federal income tax purposes to own constructively
  shares of the Company Common Stock actually owned by other persons may, under
  certain circumstances, recognize dividend income (taxable as ordinary income)
  equal to the full amount of the cash they receive.     

  THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED
  FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY.  SUCH DISCUSSION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE TO A
  STOCKHOLDER WHO ACQUIRED SHARES OF THE COMPANY STOCK PURSUANT TO THE EXERCISE
  OF AN EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION OR OTHERWISE AS COMPENSATION.  THE COMPANY
  STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS FOR MORE SPECIFIC AND
  DEFINITE ADVICE AS TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO
  THEM OF THE CONTINUANCE AS WELL AS ADVICE TO THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF
  STATE, LOCAL, CANADIAN AND OTHER FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

                                       31

 
  UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY
  COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING THE CONTINUANCE AND MERGER

      If the Continuance takes place, certain of the tax considerations
  described above under "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations--
  Ownership of the Company Common Stock Pre-Continuance and Merger" would no
  longer apply.  Only the tax considerations altered by the Continuance are
  described below.

      The Company and Subsidiaries.  Following the Continuance, it is not
  expected that the Company would be subject to tax in Canada.  The Company
  would be subject to tax in the United States.

      U.S. Withholding Tax on Dividends to the Company.  If the Continuance
  takes place, the Company will be a U.S. corporation.  Accordingly, dividends,
  if any paid to the Company by its U.S. subsidiary would no longer be subject
  to U.S. withholding tax.

      Distributions on Common Stock.  If the Continuance takes place, because
  the Company will be a U.S. corporation, the rules generally applicable
  regarding the dividends received deduction available to corporations receiving
  dividends from certain United States corporations would apply to dividends, if
  any, paid by the Company to corporations that are U.S. stockholders.

      Withholding Tax on Dividends to U.S. Stockholders.  If the Continuance
  takes place, because the Company will be a U.S. corporation, there would no
  longer be a Canadian withholding tax on dividends paid by the Company to U.S.
  stockholders.

      Information Reporting Requirements.  If the Continuance takes place,
  because the Company will be a U.S. corporation, the information reporting
  requirements that may apply to U.S. stockholders of foreign corporations would
  no longer be applicable.

      Additional Tax Considerations.  If the Continuance takes place, because
  the Company will be a U.S. corporation, special U.S. tax rules that could have
  applied in certain circumstances to the Company as a foreign corporation,
  would no longer be applicable.

      Non-U.S. Stockholders.  If the Continuance takes place, because the
  Company will be a U.S. corporation, dividends paid to non-U.S. Stockholders
  could be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a statutory rate of 30 percent or
  such lower rate as is provided by any applicable income tax treaty between the
  United States and the stockholder's country of tax residence.  For Canadian
  stockholders the withholding rate under the Treaty is 15%, unless the
  beneficial owner of the dividend is a company which owns at least 10% of the
  voting stock of the Company, in which case the Treaty-reduced rate is 6%
  (reduced to 5% in 1997 and thereafter).

  CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS -- THE CONTINUANCE AND MERGER
    
      The following is a general summary of certain of the Canadian federal
  income tax considerations relating to the Continuance of the Company to
  Wyoming and subsequent merger with a Delaware company which are generally
  applicable to the Company, who are not tax exempt entities such as deferred
  income plans, and the holders of shares of the Company, who deal at arm's
  length with the Company and who hold shares of the Company as capital 
  property, all for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) ("ITA"). The
  summary is based on the current provisions of the ITA, regulations thereunder
  (the "Regulations") and current administrative and assessing practices of
  Revenue Canada Taxation ("Revenue Canada"). In addition, this summary takes
  into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and Regulations      

                                       32

 
  publicly announced by the Department of Finance prior to the date hereof
  (collectively, the "Proposed Tax Amendments").  No assurance can be given that
  the Proposed Tax Amendments will be enacted as announced or at all.  This
  summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law,
  whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, nor does
  it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or
  considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

      This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be nor
  should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder of
  shares of the Company.  Accordingly, such persons should consult their own tax
  advisors for advice with respect to their own particular circumstances.

  The Company
    
      Upon the Continuance of the Company to Wyoming, the Company will cease to
  be a resident of Canada for tax purposes under the ITA. The taxation year
  of the Company will be deemed to end immediately before the Company ceased to
  be a resident of Canada.  Each property owned by the Company immediately
  before the deemed year end is deemed to have been disposed by the Company for
  proceeds of disposition equal to the property's fair market value.  Gains and
  losses derived by the Company from such deemed disposition will be included in
  computing its income for the taxation year ending at the deemed year end and
  will be subject to tax under Part I of the ITA.     

      Further, tax pursuant to Part XIV of the ITA, will apply at the rate of
  25%, reduced by the Treaty to 6% if the continuance occurs in 1996 or 5% if
  after 1996, of the amount if any by which the fair market value of the
  Company's assets at the time of the continuance exceeds the aggregate of the
  paid up capital in respect of the shares outstanding immediately before the
  continuance and the aggregate of the corporation's debts (excluding those
  relating to dividends) all as calculated in accordance with detailed rules
  under the ITA.

  Residents of Canada

      A holder of shares of the Company will not dispose of, or be deemed to
  dispose of, such shares on the Continuance of the Company to Wyoming.  No tax
  consequence will accrue to such holder solely as a result of the Continuance.

      Residents of Canada who exercise dissenters' rights prior to the time the
  corporation ceases to be a Canadian resident company, with respect to the
  Continuance of the Company to Wyoming will dispose of their shares to the
  Company for fair market value.  Such holder will generally realize a deemed
  dividend equal to the difference between the paid up capital of the shares
  repurchased by the Company and the amount received from the Company on the
  repurchase by the Company.  Such deemed dividend received by an individual
  will be included in income of the individual subject to the gross up and
  dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to dividends received from
  taxable Canadian corporations.  A "private corporation," as defined in the
  ITA, or any other corporation controlled by or for the benefit of an
  individual or a related group of individuals will generally be liable to pay a
  33-1/3% refundable tax under Part IV of the Act on any deemed dividend
  received to the extent such deemed dividend is deductible in computing the
  corporation's income under the ITA.  The amount of any such deemed dividend
  will not generally be included in computing the proceeds of disposition to any
  holder for the purposes of computing any capital gain or loss arising on the
  disposition of the shares to the Company.  If the stockholder is a
  corporation, any such capital loss may in certain circumstances be reduced by
  the amount of any dividends, including deemed dividends, which were deductible
  in computing taxable income of the corporate stockholder.  Analogous rules
  apply to a partnership or trust of which a corporation is a member or a
  beneficiary.

                                       33

     
      Under Canadian tax law, where there has been a foreign merger in which the
  shares owned by a taxpayer of the capital stock of a corporation that was a
  predecessor foreign corporation immediately before the merger were exchanged
  for or became shares of the capital stock of the new foreign corporation,
  subsection 87(8) of the ITA applies to have subsection 87(4) of the ITA deem a
  taxpayer who holds shares of a predecessor foreign corporation as capital
  property to have disposed of the shares for proceeds equal to their adjusted
  cost bases and to have acquired shares of the new foreign corporation at the
  same amount. Therefore provided a holder of shares of the Company holds the
  shares as capital property and does not elect out of the application of
  subsection 87(4), no gain or loss should be realized by the shareholder as a
  result of the merger of the company with the Delaware corporation.     

      Foreign mergers are defined in subsection 87(8.1) of the ITA to mean a
  merger or combination of two or more corporations resident in the same foreign
  jurisdiction to form a single corporate entity which is resident in the same
  jurisdiction.  In addition, all or substantially all of the assets and
  liabilities of the predecessor corporation (except inter-company receivables,
  payables and shareholdings) must become assets and liabilities of the new
  foreign corporation by virtue of the merger or combination and all or
  substantially all of the shares of the predecessor foreign corporations must
  be exchanged for or become shares of capital stock of the new foreign
  corporation by virtue of the merger or combination.  The rollover provisions
  of subsection 87 (8) of the ITA will not apply if the merger or combination
  resulted from the distribution of property to one corporation upon the wind-up
  of another corporation.

  Non-Residents of Canada

      The following summary is applicable to non-residents of Canada for the
  purposes of the ITA.

      A holder of shares of the Company will not dispose of, or be deemed to
  dispose of, the shares on the Continuance of the Company to Wyoming nor on the
  subsequent merger of the Company with a Delaware corporation.  No tax
  consequence will be accrued to such holder solely as a result of the
  Continuance and Merger.

      A disposition or deemed disposition by a holder of a share in the Company
  after the Continuance who is not a resident in Canada will not give rise to
  tax under the ITA.

      Dividends received on shares of the Company after the Continuance will not
  give rise to tax under the ITA.

      A non-resident of Canada for the purposes of the ITA who exercises
  dissenters rights on the Continuance of the Company to Delaware will have its
  shares of the Company purchased by the Company for fair market value.  Such
  purchase will result in a deemed dividend being received by the holder equal
  to the amount by which the amount received by the holder on the repurchase of
  the shares exceeds its paid up capital.  Such deemed dividend will be subject
  to a 25% withholding tax.  Such withholding tax may be reduced by the
  provisions of any bilateral tax treaty entered into between Canada and the
  country in which the holder is resident.  The amount of any such deemed
  dividend will not generally be included in computing the proceeds of
  disposition to any holder for the purposes of computing any capital gain or
  loss arising on the disposition of the shares to the Company.

  CANADIAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS - OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK FOLLOWING
  THE CONTINUANCE AND MERGER

      If the Continuance and subsequent merger takes place, certain of the tax
  considerations described above under "Canadian Tax Considerations - Ownership
  of the Company Stock Pre-Continuance and Merger" would no longer apply.  Only
  the tax considerations altered by the Continuance and merger are described
  below.

                                       34

 
      The Company and Subsidiaries.  Following the Continuance the Company would
  no longer be resident in Canada and therefore the Company would not be subject
  to Canadian taxation provided it did not carry on business in Canada through a
  permanent establishment in Canada.

      Distributions on Common Stock.  No dividends have been paid by the Company
  to date and none is anticipated to be paid for the foreseeable future.
  However, resident Canadian stockholders receiving dividend distributions with
  respect to the Company's Common Stock would be required to include in gross
  income for Canadian federal income tax purposes the gross amount of dividends
  received on the stock.

      Withholding Tax on Dividends to Canadian Stockholders. If any dividends
  were paid by the Company, they would be subject to U.S. withholding tax.
  Individual Canadian stockholders of the Company that qualify under the Treaty
  would be subject to a 15% U.S. withholding tax on any dividend distributions
  from the Company.  Certain qualifying corporate Canadian stockholders would
  only be subject to a 6% withholding tax (reduced to 5% in 1997).  The
  withholding tax would be withheld by the Company from dividend distributions
  and paid to the U.S. government.  A Canadian resident stockholder may be
  entitled to a Canadian foreign tax credit for any U.S. withholding tax,
  calculated in accordance with detailed rules under the ITA, in respect of all
  or a portion of any United States withholding taxes payable on dividends paid
  to the holder.  Each Canadian stockholder should consult his own tax advisor
  regarding the possible availability of a foreign tax credit.
      
      Deferred Plans. The shares of the Company, following the Continuance and
  Merger, may no longer be qualified investments for deferred plans and, where
  still qualified, will constitute foreign property for such plans. Penalties
  are prescribed under the ITA where deferred plans hold non-qualified
  investments or where the foreign property holdings of deferred plans are above
  prescribed thresholds.      

      Information Reporting Requirements.  Under draft legislation released
  March 5, 1996 Canadian resident taxpayers with interests in specified foreign
  property having a total cost in excess of $100,000 Canadian will be required
  to report and provide details on such holdings on Form T1135.  The shares of
  the Company, subsequent to its continuance, will constitute specified foreign
  property.

      Additional Tax Considerations.  Special Canadian tax rules that may be
  adverse to a Canadian resident stockholder and that are not discussed herein
  may apply to a Canadian stockholder where the Company derives its value
  primarily from portfolio investments in assets generally considered to be of
  an investment nature, such as the shares of the capital stock of one or more
  other corporations.  If it may reasonably be concluded that one of the main
  reasons for holding the stock in the Company is to reduce the amount of
  Canadian tax that would otherwise apply to the holder of shares of the Company
  from holding such portfolio investments directly then a resident Canadian
  holder may be subject to attributed income generally equal to the holder' s
  cost amount of the stock multiplied by the prescribed rate of interest under
  the ITA.


                RATIFICATION OF MATERIAL CHANGES IN CONSTATING
                   DOCUMENTS AFFECTING STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS
                           (PROPOSALS THREE - FIVE)

  INTRODUCTION

      The Delaware Constating Documents effectively amend the British Columbia
  Constating Documents by (i) canceling the existing Class "A" and Class "B"
  preferred shares and authorizing the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par
  value Preferred Stock; (ii) eliminating the personal liability of directors to
  the fullest extent allowed under Delaware law; and (iii) providing additional
  indemnification in excess of that currently provided.

      The Board of Directors unanimously deems each of the foregoing changes in
  the Company's Constating documents to be in the best interest of the Company
  and its stockholders.

                                       35

 
                       AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK
                               (PROPOSAL THREE)

      The Delaware Constating Documents authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 of
  $.001 par value Preferred Stock.  Preferred stock is currently authorized in
  the British Columbia Constating Documents, but such shares will be canceled.
 
      The Board of Directors considers it desirable to have the Preferred Stock
  available for issuance from time to time for such purposes and for such
  consideration as the Board of Directors  may approve without the need to
  obtain the approval of the Company's stockholders.  Moreover, the terms of the
  Preferred Stock including, without limitation, dividends, conversion prices,
  voting rights, liquidation and redemption prices will be determined by the
  Board of Directors.

      Although, at the present time, there are no plans to issue the Preferred
  Stock which will be authorized upon the approval of the change of domicile to
  Delaware and the adoption of the Delaware Constating Documents, the Board of
  Directors could issue such Preferred Stock with dividend and liquidation
  rights senior to those of the holders of the Common Stock without stockholder
  approval.  In addition, although the Board has no present intention of doing
  so, shares of Preferred Stock could, without stockholder approval, be issued
  to a holder who would vote against a merger, a sale of assets or another
  extraordinary corporate transaction which may result in the disapproval of a
  transaction favored by or favorable to a majority of stockholders.

  VOTE REQUIRED; BOARD RECOMMENDATION

      The ratification of the authorization of the issuance of Preferred Stock
  will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of
  Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.

            PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE LIMITED LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
             AND IN THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY'S
                   DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
                           (PROPOSALS FOUR AND FIVE)


      The British Columbia Constating Documents include a provision which
  eliminates officers' and directors' personal liability under certain specific
  circumstances and provides for mandatory indemnification of the Company's
  directors, officers, employees and agents  of the Company if (i) such person
  acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the
  Company and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or
  proceeding, such person had reasonable grounds for believing his conduct was
  lawful.

      The Company believes that it is important to continue to provide the
  Company's directors and officers with protection from the risk of litigation
  and personal liability, thereby ensuring that the Company can continue to
  attract and retain experienced individuals to serve as directors and officers
  and that the Company's directors and officers will continue to consider all
  possible alternatives when making business decisions.  The Board of Directors
  has determined that it is in the best interests of the stockholders of
  PortaCom Delaware that the Certificate of Incorporation of PortaCom Delaware
  include a "Delaware Director Liability Provision" (as defined below) and that
  the Bylaws of PortaCom Delaware contain a "Delaware Indemnification Provision"
  (as defined below) in order to take full advantage of the protections
  permitted under Delaware law.  Due to certain differences

                                       36

 
  between British Columbia and Delaware law, PortaCom Delaware may be able to
  provide indemnification to its employees and agents and limited liability to
  its directors under a somewhat broader range of circumstances than currently
  permitted under British Columbia law.  The stockholders should note that the
  members of the Company's Board of Directors will be beneficiaries of the
  Delaware Director Liability Provision and the Delaware Indemnification
  Provision and therefore have a personal interest in their approval.

      At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a
  director, officer or employee of the Company where indemnification would be
  sought or allowed for in the British Columbia Constating Documents of the
  Company or where a director's liability would be limited thereby.

      Director Liability.  The Certificate of Incorporation of PortaCom Delaware
  includes a provision eliminating the directors' personal liability for
  monetary damages for a breach of the directors' duty of care to PortaCom
  Delaware or its stockholders (the "Delaware Director Liability Provision").
  As a result of the Delaware Director Liability Provision, no director of
  PortaCom Delaware will be liable for monetary damages for negligence or gross
  negligence occurring after the Delaware Reincorporation. Each director will,
  however, remain personally liable to PortaCom Delaware for failure to act in
  good faith or to comply with his or her duty of loyalty to PortaCom Delaware
  and will continue to be subject to equitable remedies, although such remedies
  in some circumstances may not, as a practical matter, be available.  In
  addition, under Delaware law, each director will remain liable for engaging in
  a transaction from which such director derives an improper personal benefit,
  for engaging in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or for
  the wrongful payment of a dividend or repurchase of shares by PortaCom
  Delaware where such dividend or repurchase was willfully or negligently caused
  by such director.  The Delaware Director Liability Provision also may not
  limit a director's liability for violations of the federal securities laws.

       The Delaware Director Liability Provision is a somewhat broader
  limitation-of-liability provision in comparison to the provisions set forth in
  the British Columbia Constating Documents.  Delaware law also may permit the
  limitation of directors' liability in a broader range of circumstances than
  does British Columbia law.

       Indemnification.  Delaware law provides a detailed statutory framework
  covering indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents against
  liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them
  by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, employees or
  agents.  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware ("Section
  145") provides that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation:
  (a) shall be indemnified by the corporation for expenses, including attorneys'
  fees, in defense of any action or proceeding if the director, officer,
  employee or agent is sued by reason of his or her service to the corporation,
  to the extent that such person has been successful in defense of such action
  or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter raised in such
  litigation; (b) may, in actions other than actions by or in the right of the
  corporation (such as derivative actions), be indemnified for expenses,
  judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement of such litigation and other
  amounts even if he or she is not successful on the merits, if he or she acted
  in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
  opposed to the best interests of the corporation (and in a criminal
  proceeding, if he or she did not have reasonable cause to believe his or her
  conduct was unlawful); and (c) may be indemnified by the corporation for
  expenses (but not judgments or settlements) of any action by the corporation
  or of a derivative action (such as a suit by a stockholder alleging a breach
  by a director or officer of a duty owed to the corporation), even if he or she
  is not successful, provided that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner
  reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
  corporation, provided that no indemnification is permitted without court
  approval if the person is adjudged liable to the corporation.

                                       37

 
       Delaware law also permits a corporation to elect to indemnify its
  directors, officers, employees and agents under a broader range of
  circumstances than that provided under Section 145.  The indemnification
  provision in the Bylaws of PortaCom Delaware (the "Delaware Indemnification
  Provision") takes full advantage of the Delaware indemnification laws with
  regard to directors and officers and provides, among other things, that: (i)
  PortaCom Delaware is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the
  full extent permitted by law, including those circumstances in which
  indemnification would otherwise be discretionary; and (ii) PortaCom Delaware
  may advance expenses to its directors and officers as incurred, provided that
  they undertake to repay the amount advanced unless it is ultimately determined
  that they are entitled to indemnification.

       Like the Bylaws of PortaCom Delaware, the British Columbia Constating
  Documents provide that the Company may indemnify its directors, officers,
  employees and agents.  British Columbia law, however, restricts a corporation
  from providing indemnification in certain situations in which indemnification
  may be permitted under Delaware law.  British Columbia law, for example,
  prohibits indemnification of a director for liability resulting from acts or
  omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the
  corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was or
  should have been aware of a serious risk of injury to the corporation or its
  shareholders, or for liability resulting from acts or omissions that
  constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication
  of the director's duty to the corporation or its stockholders.  Delaware law
  does not expressly prohibit indemnification in such circumstances.  The
  standard of conduct required of persons being indemnified under British
  Columbia law in civil actions is also more stringent than that applied in
  Delaware.  Under British Columbia law, a person must have acted in good faith
  and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of
  the corporation and, in actions by or in the right of the corporation, of its
  stockholders.  Under Delaware law, a person must have acted in good faith and
  in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
  interests of the corporation.

       Possible Disadvantages of Indemnification and Directors' Limited
  Liability Generally.  The Delaware Director Liability Provision and the
  Delaware Indemnification Provision could have an adverse impact on the
  Company.  In the event that PortaCom Delaware is injured as a result of a
  director's breach of fiduciary duties, including in connection with a takeover
  attempt, the Delaware Director Liability Provision could prevent PortaCom
  Delaware from recovering compensation for the damage it has suffered.  The
  fact that a director knows that he or she will not suffer personal liability
  for his or her negligence or gross negligence may also cause the director to
  be less careful in handling PortaCom Delaware's affairs.  In addition, the
  Delaware Indemnification Provision may require PortaCom Delaware to pay the
  costs of a legal defense and legal judgment arising out of injuries to third
  parties caused by the acts of its directors or officers which PortaCom
  Delaware would not otherwise be obligated to pay.  The comparable charter and
  bylaw provisions currently in effect for the Company, however, have these same
  potential adverse effects.

  VOTE REQUIRED; BOARD RECOMMENDATION

       The ratification of the provisions of the Delaware Constating Documents
  limiting the liability of directors and the increased indemnification rights
  provided to the Company's officers, directors, employees and agents by the
  Delaware Constating Documents will require the affirmative vote of a majority
  of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting.

       THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL
  LIMITING THE LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND "FOR" THE INCREASED INDEMNIFICATION OF
  THE COMPANY'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.

                             STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
    
       Stockholders of the Company who intend to submit proposals to the
  Company's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in
  1997 must submit such proposals to the Company no later than January 25,
  1997, in order for them to be included in the Company's proxy materials for
  such meeting.  Stockholder proposals should be directed to the attention of
  the Secretary of the Company at the address of the Company set forth on the
  first page of this Proxy Statement.     

                                 OTHER MATTERS

  The board of directors is not aware of any other matters to be brought before
  the extraordinary and special general meeting.  If any other matters, however,
  are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed
  form of proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies with
  respect to such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the matter in question and
which shall have been held by him and registered in his name on the books of the
Corporation:

     (i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of these Bylaws as the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to
vote at such meeting, or

                                       12

 
     (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (a) at the close
of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting
shall be given or (b) if notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of

corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of
directors in such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the
Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum
purposes. Persons holding stock of the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall
be entitled to vote such stock. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled
to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation
he shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case
only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon. Stock
having voting power standing of record in the names of two or more persons,
whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants in common, tenants
by entirety or otherwise, or with respect to which two or more persons have the
same fiduciary relationship, shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     (c) Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled
thereto in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing,
subscribed by such stockholder or by his attorney thereunto authorized and
delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless said proxy
shall provide for a longer period. The attendance at any meeting of a
stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of
revoking the same unless he shall in writing so notify the secretary of the
meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. At any meeting of the stockholders all
matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, in
these Bylaws or by law, shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting
interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote
thereat and thereon, a quorum being present. The vote at any meeting of the
stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the
chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the
stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and it shall state
the number of shares voted.

prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in
alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number
of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to
the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to
the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held,
which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be
produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

a judge or judges to act with respect to such vote. Each judge so appointed
shall first subscribe an oath faithfully to execute the duties of a

judge at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his
ability. Such judges shall decide upon the qualification of the voters and shall
report the number of shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on
such question, shall conduct and accept the votes, and, when the voting is
completed, shall ascertain and report the number of shares voted respectively
for and against the question. Reports of judges shall be in writing and
subscribed and delivered by them to the Secretary of the Corporation. The judges
need not be stockholders of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation
may be a judge on any question other than a vote for or against a proposal in
which he shall have a material interest.

annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action
which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be
taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of
outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of
the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent
shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

The Board may also provide that the Corporation shall reimburse each such
director for any expense incurred by him on account of his attendance at any

corporations owning the stock represented by such certificates, the number and

certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of
the Board, it is proper so to do.

such a record date, the record date for determining stockholders for such
purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board shall adopt
the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders entitled to

SECTION 7.01  Action, Etc.  Other Than by or in the Right of the Corporation.
              -------------------------------------------------------------- 
The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.

SECTION 7.02  Actions, Etc., by or in the Right of the Corporation.  The
              ----------------------------------------------------

be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

SECTION 7.03  Determination of Right of Indemnification.  Any indemnification
              -----------------------------------------                      
under Section 7.01 or 7.02 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the
Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
Section 7.01 and 7.02. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a

                                       21

 
quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested
directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(iii) by the stockholders.

SECTION 7.04  Indemnification Against Expenses of Successful Party.
              ----------------------------------------------------  
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in Section 7.01 or 7.02, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

SECTION 7.05  Prepaid Expenses.  Expenses incurred by an officer or director in
              ----------------

                    BRITISH COLUMBIA COMPANY ACT SECTION 231

                              DISSENT PROCEEDINGS


231.  (1)  Where,

          (a) being entitled to give notice of dissent to a resolution as
              provided in section 37, 127, 150, 246, 268, 273 or 313, a member
              of a company (in this Act called a "dissenting member") gives
              notice of dissent;

          (b) the resolution referred to in paragraph (a) is passed; and

          (c) the company or its liquidator proposes to act on the authority of
              the resolution referred to in paragraph (a),

the company or the liquidator shall first give to the dissenting member notice
of the intention to act and advise the dissenting member of his rights under
this section.

          (2) On receiving a notice of intention to act in accordance with
subsection (1), a dissenting member is entitled to require the company to
purchase all his shares in respect of which the notice of dissent was given.

          (3) The dissenting member shall exercise his right under subsection
(2) by delivering to the registered office of the company, within 14 days after
the company, or the liquidator, gives the notice of intention to act,

          (a) a notice that he requires the company to purchase all his shares
              referred to in subsection (2); and

          (b) the share certificates representing all his shares referred to in
              subsection (2);

and thereupon he is bound to sell those shares to the company and the company is
bound to purchase them. [am. 1980, c. 50, s. 22]

          (4) A dissenting member who has complied with subsection (3), the
company, or, if there has been an amalgamation, the amalgamated company, may
apply to the court, which may

              (a) require the dissenting member to sell, and the company or the
                  amalgamated company to purchase, the shares in respect of
                  which the notice of dissent has been given;

                                       25

 
              (b) fix the price and terms of the purchase and sale, or order
                  that the price and terms be established by arbitration, in
                  either case having due regard for the rights of creditors;

              (c) in the application any other dissenting member who has
                  complied with subsection (3); and

              (d) make consequential orders and given directions it considers
                  appropriate.
 
          (5) The price to be paid to a dissenting member for his shares shall
be their fair value as of the day before the date on which the resolution
referred to in subsection (1) was passed, including any appreciation or
depreciation in anticipation of the vote on the resolution, and every dissenting
member who has complied with subsection (3) shall be paid the same price.

          (6) The amalgamation or winding up of the company, or any change in
its capital, assets or liabilities resulting from the company acting on the
authority of the resolution referred to in subsection (1), shall not affect the
right of the dissenting member and the company under this section or the price
to be paid for the shares.

          (7) Every dissenting member who has complied with subsection (3) may

              (a) not vote, or exercise or assert any rights of a member, in
                  respect of the shares for which notice of dissent has been
                  given, other than under this section;

              (b) not withdraw the requirement to purchase his shares, unless
                  the company consents; and

              (c) until he is paid in full, exercise and assert all the rights
                  of a creditor of the company.

          (8) Where the court determines that a person is not a dissenting
member, or is not otherwise entitled to the right provided by subsection (2),
the court may make the order, without prejudice to any acts or proceedings which
the company, its members, or any class of members may have taken during the
intervening period, it considers appropriate to remove the limitations imposed
on him by subsection (7).

          (9) The relief provided by this section is not available if,
subsequent to giving his notice of dissent, the dissenting member acts
inconsistently with his dissent; but a request to withdraw the requirement to
purchase his shares is not an act inconsistent with his dissent.

          (10) A notice of dissent ceases to be effective if the member giving
it consents to or votes in favor of the resolution of the company to which he is
dissenting, except where the consent or vote is given solely as a proxy holder
for a person whose proxy required an affirmative vote.

          (a) Except as provided in W.S. 17-16-1327, as soon as the proposed
corporate action is taken, or upon receipt of a payment demand, the corporation
shall pay each dissenter who complied with W.S. 17-16-1323 the amount the
corporation estimates to be the fair value of his shares, plus accrued interest.

          (b) The payment shall be accompanied by:

          (i) The corporation's balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year
              ending not more than sixteen (16) months before the date of
              payment, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes
              in shareholders' equity for that year, and the latest available
              interim financial statements, if any;

         (ii) A statement of the corporation's estimate of the fair value of the
              shares;        

        (iii) An explanation of how the interest was calculated;

         (iv) A statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under W.S.
              17-16-1328; and

          (v) A copy of this article. (Laws 1989, ch. 249, sec. 1.)

SEC. 17-16-1326.  FAILURE TO TAKE ACTION.

(a) If the corporation does not take the proposed action within sixty (60) days
after the date set for demanding payment and depositing share certificates, the
corporation shall return the deposited certificates and release the transfer
restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares.

                                       31

 
(b) If after returning deposited certificates and releasing transfer
restrictions, the corporation takes the proposed action, it shall send a new
dissenters' notice under W.S. 17-16-1322 and repeat the payment demand
procedure. (Laws 1989, ch. 249, sec. 1.)

SEC. 17-16-1327.  AFTER-ACQUIRED SHARES.

(a) A corporation may elect to withhold payment required by W.S. 17-16-1325 from
a dissenter unless he was the beneficial owner of the shares before the date set
forth in the dissenters' notice as the date of the first announcement to news
media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed corporate action.

(b) To the extent the corporation elects to withhold payment under subsection
(a) of this section, after taking the proposed corporate action, it shall
estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall pay this
amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of his
demand. The corporation shall send with its offer a statement of its estimate of
the fair value of the shares, an explanation of how the interest was calculated,
and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under W.S. 17-16-
1328. (Laws 1989, ch. 249, sec. 1.)

SEC. 17-16-1328.  PROCEDURE IF SHAREHOLDER DISSATISFIED WITH PAYMENT OR OFFER.

(a) A dissenter may notify the corporation in writing of his own estimate of the
fair value of his shares and amount of interest due, and demand payment of his
estimate, less any payment under W.S. 17-16-1325, or reject the corporation's
offer under W.S. 17-16-1327 and demand payment of the fair value of his shares
and interest due, if:

      (i) The dissenter believes that the amount paid under W.S. 17-16-1325 or
          offered under W.S. 17-16-1327 is less than the fair value of his
          shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated;

     (ii) The corporation fails to make payment under W.S. 17-16-1325 within
          sixth (60) days after the date set for demanding payment; or

    (iii) The corporation, having failed to take the proposed action, does not
          return the deposited certificates or release the transfer restrictions
          imposed on uncertificated shares within sixty (60) days after the date
          set for demanding payment.

(b) A dissenter waives his right to demand payment under this section unless he
notifies the corporation of his demand in writing under subsection

(a) of this section within thirty (30) days after the corporation made or
offered payment for his shares. (Laws 1989, ch. 249, sec. 1.)

                                       32

 
Subarticle C. Judicial Appraisal of Shares

SEC. 17-16-1330.  COURT ACTION.

(a) If a demand for payment under W.S. 17-16-1328 remains unsettled, the
corporation shall commence a proceeding within sixty (60) days after receiving
the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the
shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding
within the sixty (60) day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand
remains unsettled the amount demanded.

(b) The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the district court of the
county where a corporation's principal office, or if none in this state, its
registered office, is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation
without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the proceeding in
the county in this state where the registered office of the domestic corporation
merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign corporation was
located.

(c) The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this
state, whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as in an action
against their shares and all parties shall be served with a copy of the
petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by
publication as provided by law.

(d) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under
subsection (b) of this section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint
one (1) or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision
on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the
order appointing them, or in the amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to
the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

(e) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment for:

      (i) The amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of his
          shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation; or

     (ii) The fair value, plus accrued interest, of his after-acquired shares
          for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under W.S. 
          17-16-1327. (Laws 1989, ch. 249, sec. 1.)

SEC. 17-16-1331.  COURT COSTS AND COUNSEL FEES.

(a) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under W.S. 17-16-1330 shall
determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and
expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs
against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or
some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the
court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith
in demanding payment under W.S. 17-16-1328.

                                       33

 
(b) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for
the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

     (i) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the
         court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the
         requirements of W.S. 17-16-1320 through 17-16-1328; or

    (ii) Against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other
         party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and
         expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good
         faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.

(c) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of
substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees
for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may
award to these counsel reasonably fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the
dissenters who were benefited. (Laws 1989, ch. 249, sec. 1.)
