THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE DIRECTOR NOMINEE
ITEM 2 - AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES
The Board of Directors has approved and recommends that the Stockholders
approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to 75,000,000.
The Company is presently authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of common
stock, of which 22,938,457 shares were issued and outstanding as of June 20,
2001. The additional 50,000,000 shares would have the same rights and privileges
as the common stock presently outstanding. Holders of common stock have no
preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional common stock of the Company.
The Company believes that it is desirable to have additional authorized
shares of common stock available for funding, for acquisitions, for employee
benefit programs and for other general corporate purposes in the proximate
future, as such the terms of the securities can not be stated or estimated with
respect to all of the securities to be authorized. These additional shares may
dilute the existing shareholders, depending on future circumstances. If the
amendment is approved, the additional shares would be available for issuance
without further action by the stockholders, unless such action is required by
applicable law or any stock exchange or other quotation system through which
Maxxon's securities may be listed or quoted in the future.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" ITEM 2
ITEM 3-APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
1998 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Board has approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to
the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan, to increase the maximum number of shares
of common stock available for grant thereunder from 2,000,000 shares to
9,000,000 shares.
A brief description of the material features of the Plan is set forth
below, but is qualified by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference to the Company's Form 10-SB filed December 23,
1999.
Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of Maxxon and
its stockholders by strengthening the Company's ability to attract, motivate and
retain employees, non-employee directors, advisors
-5-
and consultants and to provide a means to encourage stock ownership and a
proprietary interest in the Company by the employees, advisors and consultants
upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the financial success and growth of
the Company's business largely depend.
Eligible Employees. The eligible participants in the Plan are the Company's
employees, advisors and consultants, as determined and designated from time to
time by the Board in its sole discretion. At June 30, 2001 there were 5
employees and 3 advisors and consultants eligible to participate in the Plan.
Grants Under the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of options to
purchase the Common Stock (including both options intended to qualify as
incentive stock options under section 422 of the Code and stock options which do
not so qualify).
Administration. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Subject
to the provisions of the Plan, the Board has the authority and discretion to
grant awards under the Plan, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and the
award agreements made thereunder and to take such other action as may be
necessary or desirable in order to carry out the provisions of the Plan.
Maximum Shares to be Issued. Assuming Proposal III is approved by the
Company's stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued
pursuant to the grant of awards under the Plan may not exceed 9,000,000 in the
aggregate (subject to antidilution adjustments). Any shares subject to an award
granted under the Plan that cease to be issuable thereunder will thereafter be
available for further award grants.
Stock Option Grants. The Board specifies the terms and conditions of stock
options granted under the Plan including without limitation the number of shares
covered by each option, the exercise price, the option period, any vesting
restrictions with respect to the exercise of the option and whether each option
is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option. No option under the Plan
may have an option exercise period of more than ten years. Options intended to
qualify as incentive stock options must have an exercise price per share of not
less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
Furthermore, options intending to qualify as incentive stock options and granted
to a person who at the time of the grant holds more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of the Company's Common Stock must have an
exercise price per share of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant and an option exercise period of not more than
five years.
Restrictions on Transfer. Awards under the Plan may not be transferred by a
participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
may be exercised during the participant's lifetime only by the participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, participants may, to the extent permitted by the
Board, transfer nonqualified options to members of the participant's immediate
family or to charitable institutions.
Amendment. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, provided
that no such amendment may be made without the approval of the Company's
stockholders to the extent approval is required by applicable laws, rules or
regulations and provided further that no amendment or termination may adversely
affect the rights of a participant with respect to an outstanding award.
Change in Control. Generally, options that are not vested and exercisable
at the time of a change in control of Maxxon (as defined in the Plan) will
become fully vested and exercisable at such time unless, in connection with any
such event, provisions have been made for (i) the continuation of the Plan
and/or assumption of such options by a successor corporation or (ii) the
substitution for such options of new options covering the stock of a successor
corporation.
Federal Income Tax Consequences. An optionee will not generally recognize
taxable income upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option to purchase shares
of Maxxon common stock. Upon exercise of the option, the optionee will generally
recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes equal to the excess of
the fair market value for the shares over the exercise price. An optionee who
sells any of the shares will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the
difference between the tax basis of the shares and the amount realized on the
sale. The tax basis of the shares in the hands of the optionee will equal the
exercise price paid for the shares plus the amount of ordinary compensation
income the optionee recognizes upon exercise of the option, and the holding
period for the shares for capital gains purposes will commence on the day the
option is exercised. The Company will be
-6-
entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary
compensation income recognized by the optionee. The deduction will be allowed at
the same time the optionee recognizes the income.
An optionee will not generally recognize income upon the grant of an
incentive stock option to purchase shares of Maxxon common stock and will not
generally recognize income upon exercise of the option, provided the optionee is
an employee of Maxxon or a subsidiary at all times from the date of grant until
three months prior to exercise. However, the amount by which the fair market
value of the shares on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price will be
includable for purposes of determining any alternative minimum taxable income of
an optionee. Where an optionee who has exercised an incentive stock option sells
the shares acquired upon exercise more than two years after the grant date and
more than one year after exercise, capital gain or loss will be recognized equal
to the difference between the sales price and the exercise price. An optionee
who sells the shares within two years after the grant date or within one year
after exercise will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to
the lesser of the difference between (a) the exercise price and the fair market
value of the shares on the date of exercise, or (b) the exercise price and the
sales proceeds. Any remaining gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or
loss. Maxxon will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to the
amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the optionee in this case.
The deduction will be allowable at the same time the optionee recognizes the
income.
Grant Information. At June 30, 2001, there were outstanding options with
respect to 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock granted pursuant to the Plan. It
is not possible to determine the award grants that will be made pursuant to the
Plan in the future. During the year ended December 31, 2000, there were no stock
options granted under the Plan.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" ITEM 3
ITEM 4-RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Company has appointed Sutton Robinson Freeman & Co., P.C. ("Sutton
Robinson Freeman") as its independent accountants for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2001. Sutton Robinson Freeman has served as the Company's
independent accountants since 1997. Services provided to the Company by Sutton
Robinson Freeman in fiscal 2000 included the examination of the Company's
consolidated financial statements, limited reviews of quarterly reports,
services related to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
various tax services.
Audit Fees. The Company paid its auditors $4,872.50 in fees for their
professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and the reviews of the
financial statements included in the Company's reports on Form 10-QSB during the
year 2000.
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees. The Company's
auditors did not provide services during 2000 constituting the design or
implementation of financial information systems.
All Other Fees. In addition to the audit fees previously described, the
Company paid Sutton Robinson Freeman $1,261.35 during 2000 to prepare the
Company's 1999 Federal and State Corporate Tax Returns, Franchise Tax Returns,
and Business Property Rendition. The Board believes that the services performed
by Sutton Robinson Freeman are compatible with maintaining their independence.
Representatives of Sutton Robinson Freeman are not expected at the Annual
Shareholders Meeting. They have been afforded an opportunity to make a statement
if they desire to do so. Representatives of the firm will be available via
telephone to respond to appropriate questions.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
On January 3, 2001, the Company entered into a written employment agreement
with Gifford Mabie, the Company's sole officer and director. The term of the
agreement is for one year, ending January 3, 2002 with an automatic and
continuous renewal for consecutive two year periods. The agreement can be ended
either by us or by Mr. Mabie upon 30 days' written notice. The agreement
provides for an annual salary of at least $100,000 with an annual salary
increase equal to no less than the percentage increase in the Consumer Price
Index during the previous calendar year. Mr. Mabie's salary will be accrued by
the Company and paid in whole or in part as cash is available. If Mr. Mabie
resigns or is terminated for any reason, his accrued and unpaid salary plus
severance pay ranging from three (3) months to twenty-four (24) months,
depending on the circumstances of his departure, will be due and payable within
30 days of his resignation or termination. Under the employment agreement, the
Company provides certain fringe benefits, including, but not limited to,
participation in pension plans, profit-sharing plans, employee stock ownership
plans, stock appreciation rights, hospitalization and health insurance,
disability and life insurance, paid vacation and sick leave. The Company will
reimburse Mr. Mabie for any reasonable and necessary business expenses,
including travel and entertainment expenses that are necessary to carry out his
duties. Mr. Mabie has the right to participate in other businesses as long as
those businesses do not compete with us and so long as he devotes the necessary
working time, as determined in his sole discretion, to the Company's business
activities. The Company will indemnify Mr. Mabie for all legal expenses and
liabilities incurred with any proceeding involving him by reason of his being an
officer, director, employee or agent of the Company. The Company will pay
reasonable attorney fees and expenses as incurred in the event that, in Mr.
Mabie's sole judgment, he needs to retain counsel or otherwise expend personal
funds for his defense. If there is a change in control, Mr. Mabie has the right
to resign. A change in control is defined as a change in the majority of
Directors within any twelve month period without 2/3 approval of the shares
outstanding and entitled to vote, or a merger where less than 50 percent of the
outstanding common stock survives and a majority of the Board of Directors
remains, or the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, or if any
other person or group acquires more than 50 percent of the voting capital. The
employment agreement states he will not compete with us for one-year after he
resigns voluntarily or is terminated for cause. If Mr. Mabie is terminated
without cause or if he resigns because a change of control has occurred, then
the non-compete clause of his employment agreement will not be applicable. A
copy of the employment agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit
10.13 of Maxxon's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000.
On January 3, 2001, in connection with his employment agreement, Mr. Mabie
purchased 850,000 shares of Maxxon common stock at $0.15 per share, the closing
price of the common stock on the date of the transaction. As payment for the
shares, Mr. Mabie gave the Company an unsecured promissory note in the amount of
$127,500. The note is due January 3, 2008 and accrues interest at 8% per year.

SECTION 16 REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the
outstanding shares of the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission reports regarding changes in their beneficial ownership of shares in
the Company. There were no beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding
shares of Maxxon, Inc. as of December 31, 2000.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the
Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the
Company believes that its director during fiscal 2000 complied on a timely basis
with all applicable filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
