PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Company has nominated and recommends FOR
election as directors the six persons named below, all of whom are currently
serving as directors of the Company. The enclosed Proxy will be voted FOR the

in the Proxy will be exercised by the present Board of Directors to vote for a
substitute or substitutes to be designated by the Board of Directors. The Board
of Directors has no reason to believe that any substitute nominee or nominees
will be required.

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN
At the Company's 1997 Annual Meeting the shareholders approved the 1997
Stock Option Plan that provided for 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In July,
1998 the Company effected a 1-10 reverse stock split thereby reducing the number
of shares in the 1997 Stock Option Plan to 500,000.
The Board of Directors has determined that the 1997 Stock Option Plan
is not adequate to meet the needs of the Company and the Company may have
difficulty retaining key personnel unless a stock option plan suitable to the
Company's present and future needs is adopted. Accordingly, the Board of
Directors cancelled the 1997 Stock Option Plan and adopted the Company's 1999
Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"), subject to shareholder approval. The Board
of Directors recommends FOR the approval of the 1999 Plan. The enclosed proxy
will be voted FOR approval of the 1999 Plan unless otherwise indicated. The
affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the shares in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote is necessary to approve Proposal 2.
A general description of the basic features of the 1999 Plan is summarized
below. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 1999
Plan, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company at the address set forth
at the beginning of this proxy statement.
GENERAL
The 1999 Plan provides for the grant of both incentive and nonstatutory
stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the 1999 Plan are intended
to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Nonstatutory stock
options granted under the 1999 Plan are intended not to qualify as incentive
stock options under the Code. See "Federal Income Tax Information" for a
discussion of the tax treatment of incentive and nonstatutory stock options.
PURPOSE
The 1999 Plan is intended to provide a means by which selected
officers, directors and employees of, and consultants to, the Company and its
affiliates may be given an opportunity to purchase stock in the Company, to
assist
in retaining the services of such persons holding key positions, to secure
persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company. All of the
Company's employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the 1999
Plan.
ADMINISTRATION
The 1999 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company unless the Board delegates authority to a committee. The Board has
the authority to select the persons to whom rights under the 1999 Plan will
be granted (a "Stock Award"), to determine whether a Stock Award will be an
incentive stock option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code), or a
nonqualified stock option, a stock bonus, a right to purchase restricted
stock, or a combination of the foregoing, to specify the type of
consideration, if any, to be paid to the Company upon exercise of a Stock
Award and to determine the time or times when a person will be permitted to
purchase or receive stock pursuant to a Stock Award. The Board is authorized
to delegate administration of the 1999 Plan to a committee or committees
composed of members of the Board.
ELIGIBILITY
Subject to certain limitations, under the 1999 Plan, as amended,
incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company,
while Stock Awards other than incentive stock options may be granted to
employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company.
No incentive stock option may be granted under the 1999 Plan to any
person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company or
any affiliate of the Company, unless the option exercise price is at least
110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date
of grant and the term of the option does not exceed five years from the date
of the grant. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined
at the time of grant) of stock with respect to which incentive stock options
are exercisable for the first time by any holder of such options during any
calendar year under all plans of the Company and its affiliates exceeds
$100,000, the options or portions thereof which exceed such limit shall be
treated as nonstatutory stock options, according to the order in which they
were granted.
STOCK SUBJECT TO THE 1999 PLAN
The 1999 Plan authorizes eight million (8,000,000) shares of Common
Stock to be issued. If options granted under the 1999 Plan expire or
otherwise terminate without being exercised, the Common Stock not purchased
pursuant to such options again becomes available for issuance under the 1999
Plan.
TERMS OF OPTIONS
The following is a description of the permissible terms of options
granted under the 1999 Plan. individual option grants may be more restrictive
as to any or all of the permissible terms described below.
EXERCISE PRICE, PAYMENT. The exercise price of incentive stock
options under the 1999 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the
Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant and, in
some cases (see: "Eligibility" above), may not be less than 110% of such fair
market value-The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options under the 1999
Plan may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock
subject to the option on the date of the option grant (except with respect to
options assumed or substituted under the Code).
The exercise price of options granted under the 1999 Plan may be
paid (i) in cash at the time the option is exercised (ii) at the discretion
of the Board, by delivery of other common stock of the Company, or pursuant to
a promissory note (iii) pursuant to a "net exercise" or cashless exercise
feature or (iv) in any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the
Board or as specified in the 1999 Plan.
OPTION EXERCISE, Options granted under the 1999 Plan may become
exercisable ("vest") as determined by the Board. The Board has the power to
accelerate the time, during which an option may be exercised,
To the extent provided by the terms of an option, an optionee may
satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to
the exercise of such option by a cash payment upon exercise, by authorizing
the Company to withhold a portion of the stock otherwise issuable to the
optionee by delivering already-owned stock of the Company or by a combination
of these means.
TERM, The maximum term of options under the 1999 Plan is 10 years,
except that in certain cases (See "Eligibility"), the maximum term is five
years. Upon termination of the optionees' employment relationship with the
Company, whether by death, disability or termination of employment, as defined
in the 1999 Plan, options under the 1999 Plan terminate upon the earlier of (i)
such period of time as is determined by the Board or (ii) the expiration of the
term of the option as set forth in the option agreement. The option term may
also be extended in the event that exercise of the option within these periods
is prohibited for specified reasons. Generally, outstanding options under the
1999 Plan terminate 90 days after termination of the optionee's employment or
relationship as a consultant or director of the Company or any affiliate of the
Company, except for cause, unless (a) such termination is due to such person's
disability, in which case options may be exercised at any time within one year
of such termination-, (b) the optionee dies while employed by or serving as a
consultant or director of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, in which
case the option may be exercised (to the extent the option was exercisable at
the time of the optionee's death) within one year of the optionee's death by the
person or persons to whom the rights to such option pass by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. Individual options by their terms may provide for
exercise within a longer period of time following termination of employment or
the consulting relationship.
DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Board may suspend or terminate the 1999 Plan without stockholder
approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. Unless sooner
terminated, the 1999 Plan will terminate in July 2009.
The Board may also amend the 1999 Plan at any time and from time to
time. However, under the 1999 Plan, no amendment will be effective unless
approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval
is necessary for the 1999 Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of The
Code (including an increase in the number OF shares reserved for issuance under
the 1999 Plan) or other legal requirements. The Board may submit any other
amendment to the 1999 Plan for stockholder approval, including, but not limited
to, amendments intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Code regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the
limitation on the deductibility of compensation paid to certain employees.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
Under the 1999 Plan, an incentive stock option shall not be
transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom the incentive
stock option is granted only by such person. Nonstatutory stock options granted
under the 1999 Plan may, but need not, include provisions allowing for the
transfer of such options.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
INCENTIVE STOCK Options. Incentive stock options under the 1999 Plan
are intended to be eligible for the favorable federal income tax treatment
accorded "incentive stock options" under the Code.
There generally are no federal income tax consequences to the optionee
or the Company by reason of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option.
However, the exercise of an incentive stock option may increase the optionee's
alternative minimum tax liability, if any.
If an optionee holds stock acquired through exercise of an incentive
stock option for at least two years from the date on which the option is granted
and at least one year from the date on which the shares are transferred to the
optionee upon exercise of the option, any gain or loss on a disposition of such
stock will be long-tem capital gain or loss. Generally, if the optionee disposes
of the stock before the expiration of either of these holding periods (a
"disqualifying disposition"), at the time of disposition, the optionee will
realize taxable ordinary income equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the
stocks fair market value on the date of exercise over the exercise price, or
(ii) the optionee's actual gain, if any, on the purchase and sale. The
optionee's additional gain, or any loss, upon the disqualifying disposition will
be a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term or short-term depending an
whether the stock was held for more than one year.
To the extent the optionee recognizes ordinary income by reason of a
disqualifying disposition, the Company will generally be entitled (subject to
the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code
and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation) to a corresponding business
expense deduction in the tax year IN which the disqualifying disposition
occurs.
NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS. Nonstatutory stock options granted under
the 1999 Plan generally have the following federal income tax consequences;
There are no tax consequences to the optionee or the Company by reason
of the grant of a nonstatutory stock option. Upon exercise of a nonstatutory
stock option, the optionee normally will recognize taxable ordinary income equal
to the excess of the stock's fair market value on the due of exercise over the
option exercise price. Generally, with respect to employees, the Company is
required to withhold from regular wages or supplemental wage payments an amount
based on the ordinary income recognized. Subject to the requirement of
reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the
satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, the Company will generally be
entitled to a business expense deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income
realized by the optionee. Upon disposition of the stock, the optionee will
recognize is capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the selling
price and the sum of the amount paid for such stock plus any amount recognized
as ordinary income upon exercise of the option.
POTENTIAL LIMITATION On COMPANY DEDUCTIONS. As part of the Omnibus
- -Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, Congress amended the Code to add Section
162(m), which denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for
compensation paid to certain employees in a taxable year to the extent that
compensation exceeds $1 million for a covered employee. It is possible that
compensation attributable to, awards granted in the future under the 1999 Plan
when combined with all other types of compensation received by a covered
employee from the Company, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any
particular year.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors has adopted and approved Proposal 2, subject
to the requisite approval by the Company's Stockholders. The affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares in person or represented by proxy
and entitled to vote is required to approve the Proposal. The Board of
Directors of the Company has considered the Proposal and recommends that the
Company's Stockholders approve the Proposal as set forth in this information
statement.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In September 1998, prior to his acceptance of the positions of Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company, Louis T. Montulli
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding whereby he provided funding to the
Company. In April 1999, the Company and Mr. Montulli executed a Definitive
Agreement setting forth the terms of the arrangement. Pursuant to the terms of
the Definitive Agreement. Mr. Montulli purchased an asset of the Company for
$150,000 and the assumption of $125,000 of debt. The asset is the Shares of
Preferred Convertible Stock of Golden Age Homes, Inc ("GAHI")("GAHI Shares ").
The GAHI Shares are convertible into $1,500,000 Dollars of Common Stock of GAHI.
Accordingly, the Company reflects the GAHI Shares on its balance sheet at
$1,500,000 however, there can be no assurance that the GAHI Shares, after
conversion to Shares of Common Stock of GAHI, assuming said conversion was
granted, would have or would continue to have a value equal to or greater than
the $1,500,000. Prior to entering into the agreement with Mr. Montulli, the
Company solicited offers from non-affiliates and Mr. Montulli's offer was the
most favorable to the Company.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its executive officers and directors providing that the Company will indemnify
its executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Board of Directors does not know of any matter to be presented at the
Annual Meeting which is not listed on the Notice of Annual Meeting and discussed
above. If other matters should properly come before the meeting however, the
persons names in the accompanying Proxy will vote all Proxies in accordance with
their best judgment.
