Jegou, its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Carol A. Kulina-Jegou, its Secretary and a director and, until December 31, 1995, its Executive Vice President. The exercise prices of all of the stock options and the warrants were below the fair market value of the Common Stock on the respective date of grant. 	1.	On November 7, 1994, the Company granted to Mr. Jegou a stock option expiring November 6, 1999 to purchase 150,000 shares of the Common Stock at $.75 per share. The consideration for this grant was Mr. Jegou's agreement not to have his 10% Note due April 29, 1995 (the "10% Note") in the then principal amount of $167,000 prepaid in March 1994 as were the 10% Notes of the other noteholders. During fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995, payments of $70,150 and $96,850, respectively, were made to Mr. Jegou with respect to the 10% Note. 	2.	On November 7, 1994, the Company granted to Mr. Jegou a stock option expiring November 6, 1999 to purchase 400,000 shares of the Common Stock at $1.00 per share. The consideration for this grant was Mr. Jegou's services in connection with a gaming project (the "Gaming Project"). The stock option became exercisable as to 50,000 shares on May 7, 1995 and the balance was to become exercisable in installments based upon the occurrence of specified developments in the Gaming Project. On September 3, 1996, in consideration of the fact that consummation of the Gaming Project was not likely to occur, at least not during the next two years, the stock option was amended to become exercisable as to the remaining 350,000 shares whenever a gaming vessel was to be put into service. 	3.	On November 7, 1994 the Company granted to Ms. Kulina-Jegou a stock option expiring November 6, 1999 to purchase 50,000 shares of the Common Stock at $1.00 per share. The consideration for the stock option was her years of service to CLP and her then contemplated retirement. The stock option first became exercisable on December 31, 1995 when Ms. Kulina-Jegou resigned as Executive Vice President, and retired as an employee of the Company. 	4.	On August 7, 1996, the Company granted to Mr. Jegou a warrant expiring August 6, 1999 to purchase, commencing February 7, 1997, 1,500,000 shares of the Common Stock at $.75 per share. The consideration for the warrant was Mr. Jegou's services in developing alternative gaming projects for a subsidiary of the Company. Mr. Jegou has exercised the warrant as to 1,000,000 shares, 500,000 shares at $.25 per share each on December 26, 1996 and on January 16, 1997, <PAGE 8> after the Board on November 29, 1996 and January 5, 1997, respectively, lowered the exercise price to $.25 per share and waived the prohibition on exercise until February 7, 1997 as to such shares. Compensation to Directors 	No compensation is paid to a director as such, for his or her services, but, by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses for actual attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board may be authorized. Employment Agreements 	On September 25, 1996, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Peter J. Jegou, its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, providing for a base annual salary of $200,000 and an incentive bonus arrangement to be determined. Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act 	Based only upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the Company is not aware of any director or officer of the Company who failed to file on a timely basis, as disclosed in such forms, reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal 1996 or prior years. Except as identified under the caption "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Holders and Management," the Company is not aware of any beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, which is the only security of the Company registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company believes that David Slyman filed late a Form 3 relating to his beneficial ownership in fiscal 1995 and that none of Lee S. Rosen, Zimco S.A. and Patyam Stiftung had any obligation to file pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal 1996. Certain Transactions 	Carol Kulina-Jegou, the Secretary and a director of the Company, owns the copyrights for the children stationary, card and paper activity products of Kards for Kids. Ms. Kulina-Jegou also owns the following registered trademarks: "Mommy I Can Do It Myself", "Kards for Kids" and "Mommy I Can Learn Myself." Pursuant to a Trademark License Agreement dated January 15, 1987, effective retroactive to May 18, 1986 (the "Trademark License"), Ms. Kulina-Jegou retains the right to inspect the materials, manufacturing and recording processes employed by Kards for Kids, Inc. in the manufacturing of the prerecorded video cassette tapes in order to maintain quality control over the products. The Trademark License has remained effective subsequent to the resignation of Ms. Kulina-Jegou effective December 31, 1995. See the section "Business History" under this caption "Management." Ms. Kulina-Jegou is in the process of negotiating with Kards for Kids, Inc. a royalty for the copyrights and trademarks, which royalty will not exceed 5% of gross revenues as previously agreed. <PAGE 9> 	Although Lee S. Rosen, a nominee for election as a director, was not a director at the time, on April 16, 1996, the Company, pursuant to a consulting agreement for financial and public relations services, issued to Lee S. Rosen a Common Stock purchase warrant expiring April 15, 1999. On August 7, 1996, the Company entered into a new consulting agreement with Mr. Rosen pursuant to which Mr. Rosen agreed to assume the financial and public relations services to be performed by another person and to assist in obtaining docking for the small business issuer's gaming vessel project. The Company issued to Mr. Rosen Common Stock purchase warrants expiring April 15, 1999 and August 6, 1999 to purchase, commencing February 7, 1997, 2,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Common Stock at $.75 per share.

PROPOSAL TWO: APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 	The Board of Directors has reappointed BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company's independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1998. BDO Seidman, LLP served as independent auditors for the Company for the first time in fiscal 1995. Shareholder approval requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. 	The Board is seeking shareholder approval of its selection of BDO Seidman, LLP. The Business Corporation Act of the State of New Jersey does not require the approval of the selection of independent auditors by the Company's shareholders; however, in view of the importance of the financial statements to shareholders, the Board of Directors deems it desirable that shareholders pass upon the selection of auditors. In the event that shareholders disapprove of the selection, the Board of Directors will consider the selection of other auditors. 	A representative of BDO Seidman, LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting. The Company has been informed that the representative does not intend to make any statement to the shareholders at the Annual Meeting, but will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. PROPOSAL THREE: APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE OF THE NAME OF THE COMPANY 	The Board of Directors of the Company deems it advisable and in the best interest of the Company that the Company change its name from Creative Learning Products, Inc. to Creative Gaming, Inc. and pursuant to a unanimous consent of the Board dated February 20, 1997, the Board adopted the following resolution: 		"RESOLVED, that, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 11, 1997, or at any adjournment thereof, the name of the Company be changed from Creative Learning Products, Inc. to Creative Gaming, Inc.; that <PAGE 13> counsel to the Corporation be, and such firm hereby is, authorized to prepare the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company setting forth such name change in the form complying with the Business Corporation Act of the State of New Jersey; and that the proper officers of the Company be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed to execute and cause said Certificate to be filed with the Secretary of State of New Jersey with such changes thereto that they deem necessary and appropriate in order to effect the purposes and intent of this resolution." 	 	The Company was incorporated on August 31, 1988 to provide management and administrative services to its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Since February 1994, the Company has been engaged in the process of attempting to convert CLP from an entity offering only a line of children's products and writing instruments into an entity which primarily would be offering gaming facilities and equipment, a hotel convention center, a theme park and a time sharing facility and entertainment to its customers. Management intends that the primary future focus of CLP will be on various gaming projects conducted on behalf of the Company through Creative Gaming International, Inc., a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in March 1994 or CGI Vessel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in December 1996. 	The Board believes that a new name - such as Creative Gaming, Inc. - will better describe the future operations of the Company or CLP. 	The Board recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution in order that the Company's corporate name better reflect the business it conducts. Approval of the name change requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and proxies not marked to the contrary will be so voted at the Annual Meeting. PROPOSAL FOUR: APPROVAL OF THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK 	The Board of Directors of the Company has approved and recommends an Amendment to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the authorized shares of the Common Stock from 25,000,000 to 100,000,000. There will be no change effected in the par value of the Common Stock, which will remain as no par value. The failure to adopt this proposal will put the Company in the position of potentially being unable to fulfill its obligations to issue shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. 	As of the Record Date, there were [18,398,727] shares of the Common Stock outstanding, and there were reserved, as of such date, an aggregate of [17,286,662] shares of the Common Stock, consisting of (1) 14,845,592 shares reserved for the exercise of warrants; (2) 1,030,000 shares <PAGE 14> reserved for the exercise of options; (3) 1,333,333 shares reserved to be issued to a consultant as a bonus; (4) 22,997 shares reserved to be issued in lieu of claims to dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock of which Peter J. Jegou, the principal executive officer and a director of the Company, would receive 3,856 shares as a result of his conversion of 51,412 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into 12,853 shares of the Common Stock; and (5) 54,740 shares to be issued in partial settlement of trade creditor claims against a subsidiary of the Company, the operations of which subsidiary have been discontinued. None of the warrants are owned by executive officers or directors of the Company except that Mr. Jegou holds warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,247,948 shares and stock options to purchase an aggregate of 675,000 shares. Carol Kulina-Jegou, a director, holds an stock option to purchase 50,000 shares. Walter J. Krzanowski, the principal financial and accounting officer of the Company, holds an stock option to purchase 15,000 shares. Due to the antidilution provisions in certain of the warrants, the number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance may in the future be further adjusted. An aggregate of [35,685,389] shares of the Common Stock would be outstanding if all of the shares reserved as of the Record Date were issued. Accordingly, the authorization of shares would be exceed by [10,685,389] shares. In addition, because of the Company's financing requirements, additional shares will likely be issued, whether made subject to additional Common Stock purchase warrants and stock options or issued directly. Recognizing that CLP requires approximately $25,000,000 to launch its gaming vessel project, management must seek financing for this purpose. In addition, CLP will require substantial funding if it proceeds with a proposed Indian gaming facility in Seneca, Missouri. The inability to have sufficient shares of the Common Stock to use in these potential financings would terminate CLP's proposed Gaming Projects until funds could otherwise be obtained. There is no assurance that any or all of the foregoing financings will be consummated. 	In addition, the Board deems it advisable to be in a position to grant stock options in the future as an incentive for attracting and retaining qualified and competent employees by providing them with the ability to acquire a proprietary interest in the company through ownership of the Common Stock. The Company currently has no such stock option plan. 	The Board has in the past issued shares of the Common Stock to employees as additional compensation, granted stock options to consultants for services to be rendered and has issued shares of the Common Stock in settlement of claims. The Board deems it advisable to have shares of the Common Stock available for such purposes in the future. 	Although the Board has no specific company as to which its stock or assets would be acquired under consideration, the Board believes that, should an appropriate acquisition opportunity present itself in the future, the Company should have the flexibility to use shares of the Common Stock instead of, or in addition to, cash to effect such an acquisition. <PAGE 15> 	Except as described in the preceding four paragraphs, there are no other proposals for use of the Common Stock which have been approved or which are currently under consideration by the Board of Directors. Effect on Shareholders 	Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive rights and are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors (see the second succeeding paragraph). Each holder of the Common Stock has one vote per share on all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote. The proposed Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation would create no material differences between shares of the Common Stock prior to the Amendment and the shares of the Common Stock after the Amendment. 	Authorization of the additional shares of the Common Stock will have no effect on the rights of the existing holders of the Common Stock and their rights will continue as described in the preceding paragraph, unless and until such shares are issued, in which event the only effect will be a dilution of the voting rights of such holders as a result of the increased number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock. 	Although the issuance of additional shares of the Common Stock would theoretically increase the amount necessary to pay dividends, management does not anticipate, because of the current financial requirements of the Company, its financial condition and the terms of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock (assuming such shares would be issued), that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. 	The fact that the Company may issue so many additional shares may, in the opinion of management, have a depressive effect on the market price for the Common Stock. 	The number of the additional shares which may be issued and the extent of dilution of voting rights cannot be predicted because the Board does not know for what number of shares, if any, whether part or all of the outstanding stock options or warrants will be exercised. In addition, the Board does not know the number of shares, whether of the Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of the Common Stock, that may be issued in future private placements or public offerings, or which may be used to effectuate future acquisitions. 	For the reasons described above, the Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR increase in the authorized number of shares of the Common Stock. Approval of the increase in the authorized number of shares of the Common Stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and proxies not marked to the contrary will be so voted at the Annual Meeting. <PAGE 16> INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT 	Because Peter J. Jegou, a director and an executive officer of the Company, has outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the Common Stock and each director and executive officer (including Mr. Jegou) may be granted options in the future, they have an interest in having the proposed Amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock approved by the shareholders. Other than the election of directors, there is no other proposal in the Notice of Annual Meeting as to which the directors and executive officers have any special interest, although they recommend the approval of all proposals by the shareholders.
