VOTE OBTAINED - SECTION 78.315 OF THE NEVADA REVISED STATUTES

DESCRIPTION OF THE CORPORATION
CORPORATE HISTORY: The Company was incorporated in October, 1996, under the name
PSM CORP, and was formed for the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an
operating company with an operating history and assets. On September 30, 2002,
we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with SuperYachts Holdings, Inc. , a
private Nevada corporation ("SuperYachts Holdings"), and its stockholders, to
acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SuperYachts Holdings. In
consideration for acquiring all of SuperYachts Holdings' issued and outstanding
shares, we have agreed to issue its stockholders 15,000,000 shares of our common
stock. Effective as of October 1, 2002, the Company's name was changed to
Platinum SuperYachts, Inc. At that point, our business direction included yacht
building, sales, re-sales and yacht services, such as supplies, maintenance, and
delivery as well as fill-scale contracted care of yachts. The core business was
intended to be the building of yachts in excess of 80 to 200 feet. We planned to
hire subcontractors on a per job basis for the construction of the vessels.
We have not been successful in the mega yacht industry due to two important
factors. First, purchasers of yachts in the price range of our products were not
interested in building with a manufacturer that was relatively new in the
industry. The preference of the mega yacht buyer is to work with a builder that
has a history in the business with product available for the client to view.
Second, we were unable to close a financing large enough to allow the company to
build a spec yacht. The ability to have a spec yacht available to show our
clients the high quality craftsmanship of which we were capable would have
significantly increased our ability to sell the product. As the share price of
the Company's common stock began to decrease, we were faced with the problem of
significant shareholder dilution to secure a funding necessary to build a spec
product. Management did not feel it was in the best interest of the shareholders
to attempt a multi-million dollar financing while faced with such a low share
price. Accordingly, we sold all of the Company's assets related to the yacht
business back to the former stockholders of PR Marine Inc. on September 29, 2005
in exchange for the former stockholders of PR Marine Inc. agreeing to cancel all
of their outstanding shares of the Company.
We are currently researching new business ventures, including potential
acquisitions and suitable business partners which will assist us in realizing
the Company's business objectives. We are changing the Company's name to reflect
that the Company's business is no longer focused on the yacht industry.
PROPOSAL 1 - AMENDMENT
On November 23, 2005 holders of a majority of the Company's common stock
approved the Amendment to change the name of the Company to "Royal Quantum Group
Inc.", to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company is
authorized to issue to 500,000,000 and to authorize the Company to issue up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges to
be determined by the Board. On November 23, 2005, the Board approved the
Platinum SuperYachts, Inc. Schedule 14C Information Statement
Amendment. The Board fixed the close of business on November 23, 2005 as the
record date for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to give
consent and receive this information statement. As of the Record Date, the
Company had approximately 33,108,365 shares of common stock outstanding. A copy
of the proposed Amendment effectuating the name change and the increase of the
authorized shares attached hereto as Appendix A.
We will seek to have the Company's trading symbol changed on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board market to an appropriate symbol reflecting the new corporate name
immediately after the filing of the Amendment.
The Amendment will become effective upon filing the Amendment with the Nevada
Secretary of State, which we anticipate will occur approximately 20 days after
this Information Statement has been distributed to the Company's stockholders.
PROPOSAL 2 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Currently, the Board consists of two persons, each having a term of office until
the next annual meeting or election of their successor.
The Board has nominated Ron Ruskowsky and Roger Janssen as directors (the
"Nominees"), each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or
until the director's earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees has
consented, if elected as a director of the Company, to serve until his term
expires.
The nominees received a plurality of the votes cast pursuant to the Consent
Action.
NOMINEES
Ron Ruskowsky has a diverse and strong background in corporate structure,
management and finance. He has been involved in all aspects of management from
marketing to finance and acquisitions in both public and private corporations
for over 16 years. Mr. Ruskowsky has been a director of Platinum SuperYachts
since October 1, 2002. Mr. Ruskowsky is 38 years old.
Roger Janssen has over twenty-five years experience in the manufacturing
industry. For the past sixteen years he has owned and operated his own business,
which produces aeronautical and marine components in the greater Seattle area.
He holds certificates from numerous business courses including TEC
International. Mr. Janssen has been contracted as a manufacturing consultant by
a number of manufacturing companies throughout the world during their start
up-phases. Mr. Janssen has been a director of the company since October 1, 2002.
Mr. Janssen is 42 years old.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The Company has not provided directors any compensation for their services in
prior fiscal years and the directors have agreed to act without compensation
until compensation is authorized by the Board, which is not expected to occur
until the company has generated sufficient revenues from its operations. On
October 4, 2005, we issued Roger Janssen 2,000,000 shares as compensation for
services rendered and in exchange for his agreement to serve as the Company's
Vice President and Corporate Secretary.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
During fiscal year 2004, the Board met 6 times and acted by unanimous written
consent 3 times. No director attended less than 75% of the total of Board and
committee meetings held during the director's tenure on the Board and its
committees. The Board has an Audit Committee. The Board does not have a
nominating committee or a compensation committee. None of the Company's
directors are independent.
The Board believes that given that the Company is still in a development stage,
the small size of the Company's Board, the fact that current management controls
63.5% of the voting securities of the Company and the fact that the Company does
not compensate its directors it is not necessary to have a nominating committee.
The Board also believes that the foregoing factors make it difficult for the
Company to attract independent directors to serve on the Company's Board.
Platinum SuperYachts, Inc. Schedule 14C Information Statement
The Company's entire Board participates in consideration of director nominees.
The Board will consider candidates who have experience as a board member or
senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field
as a well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer.
The Board will also evaluate whether the candidates' skills and experience are
complementary to the existing Board's skills and experience as well as the
Board's need for operational, management, financial, international,
technological or other expertise. The Board will interview candidates that meet
the criteria and then select nominees that Board believes best suit the
Company's needs.
The Board will consider qualified candidates suggested by stockholders for
director nominations. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director
nominations by writing to the Company's Corporate Secretary, Roger Janssen, at
Suite #1100 - 1200 W. 73rd, Vancouver, British Columbia V6P 6G5. Submissions
that are received that meet the criteria described above will be forwarded to
the Board for further review and consideration. The Board will not evaluate
candidates proposed by stockholders any differently than other candidates.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Stockholders may communicate with any of the Company's directors by transmitting
correspondence by mail, facsimile or e-mail, addressed as follows: Board of
Directors c/o Corporate Secretary, Roger Janssen, at Suite #1100 - 1200 W. 73rd,
Vancouver, British Columbia V6P 6G5. Fax: 604-264-6133. E-mail:
info@royalquantum.com.
The communications will be transmitted to the identified director(s) as soon as
practicable, unless the Corporate Secretary in consultation with our legal
counsel determines there are safety or security concerns that mitigate against
further transmission of the communication. The Board or identified director(s)
shall be advised of any communication withheld for safety or security reasons as
soon as practicable.
The Company's policy is that the entire Board will attend stockholders meetings.
The Company did not have a stockholders meeting for the 2004 fiscal year.
PROPOSAL 3 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board has appointed, and the majority stockholders have approved, Robison
Hill & Company ("Robison"), as the Company's independent auditor, also referred
to as the independent registered public accounting firm, for fiscal 2005. The
Board believes that Robison is knowledgeable about the Company's operations and
accounting practices and is well qualified to act in the capacity of independent
auditor.
Although the appointment of the independent auditor was not required to be
approved by the stockholders, the Board believes that stockholders should
participate in such selection through ratification. The Proposal to ratify the
Board's appointment of Robison was approved by the majority stockholders
pursuant to the Consent Action.
FEES BILLED BY INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The following table sets forth fees billed to the Company by Robison for
professional services rendered for 2004 and 2003:

TAX FEES. Consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance,
tax advice and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services,
audit-related services, tax services and other services as allowed by law or
regulation. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any
pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services
and is generally subject to a specifically approved amount. The independent
auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit
Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors
in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees incurred to date. The Audit
Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the Company's 2004 audit fees,
audit-related fees, tax fees, and all other fees to the extent the services
occurred after May 6, 2003, the effective date of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's final pre-approval rules.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
None of the company's officers and/or directors currently received any
compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company in the past
three fiscal years. Officers and directors have agreed to act without
compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors, which is not expected
to occur until the company has generated sufficient revenues from its
operations.
As of December 31, 2004, we had no group life, health, hospitalization, or
medical reimbursement or relocation plans in effect. Further, we had no pension
plans or plans or agreements which provide compensation on the event of
termination of employment or change in control of us.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
No formal employment agreements currently exist with any officer or employee.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
