By the end of the quarter ended March 31, 1999, 23,900 shares were issued according to the agreement with IHHI. The balance of the shares to be issued 0f 1,100 at a par value of $100.00 per share or $110,000.00 are being treated as additional paid in capital. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT 	Henry Schiffer, C.P.A., a P.C. of Beverly Hills, California issued the report for the company's audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998. Mr. Schiffer has been engaged by the Board of Directors of the Company as independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1999. In addition, the Board of Directors has approved a resolution to retain Mr. Schiffer for the fiscal year commencing on July 1, 1999. MODIFICATION OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES On June 1, 1999, the Board of Directors by resolution authorized the submission to the Company's shareholders of a proposal for a reverse stock split pursuant to which one share of stock will be issued for each ten shares previously outstanding. Currently, 177,302,977 shares of common stock are outstanding. If the 1 for 5 reverse stock split is accomplished, 35,460,595 shares will be outstanding. If the proposal is adopted, each shareholder's percentage share of the Company and its outstanding shares of common stock will be the same as they were prior to the adoption except for minor differences in the instances of fractional shares. In the event fractional shares result from the proposed reverse split, the Company will round up or down to the nearest number. Shareholders who have fractional shares rounded down will not receive any form of compensation in connection with such rounding down. The Company presently is authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to issue 199,000,000 shares of common stock. If this proposal is adopted, the issued common stock will represent approximately 17.82 %of the Company's authorized common stock whereas it currently represents approximately 89.10% of authorized common stock. The Board of Directors is recommending the adoption of the reverse stock split resolution for the following reasons: (a) According to available market information, as of June 7,1996, the shares of common stock of the Company were trading at a bid of $0.15 and an ask of $0.11 as reported by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Management believes that if the 1 for 5 reverse stock split is effected it could result in the common stock trading at higher prices and it would be more acceptable to stock brokerage firms which have historically required higher priced securities to execute trades for customer accounts. The Company's common stock is subject to the so-called "Penny Stock Rules" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as such is subject to substantial suitability clearance requirements prior to completion of solicited customer orders to purchase such shares by stock brokerage firms. Even if the shareholders approve this proposal, however, the Company's common stock may continue to be subject to the "Penny Stock Rules." (b) The present public float of the Company's common stock is 177,302,977 shares. It is management's position that this number of shares may be large in relationship to the Company's assets and history of operating losses, and constitutes a hindrance in attracting a greater number of broker-dealers to trade shares of the Company. (c) Further, to provide more market visibility for its common stock, the Company may seek inclusion of the common stock on the NASDAQ Small Cap System which requires, among other things, a minimum bid price of $4.00 per share. The proposed reverse split is not expected to cause the stock to meet all the NASDAQ Small Cap criteria in the foreseeable future and there is no assurance the Company's shares will ever so qualify. If this resolution is adopted, it is expected there will be no significant change in the number of its shareholders. The Company has no plans for the cancellation or purchase of its shares from individuals holding a nominal number of such shares after the proposed reverse stock split is effected and has no present intention to take the Company private through this proposed reverse stock split or otherwise. If this proposal is adopted, the Company does not intend to require shareholders to exchange their stock certificatesrepresenting pre-split shares for reissuance of new stockcertificates representing post-split shares. The Company merely intends to notify the Company's transfer agent and its shareholdersof record by letter of the effective date of reverse stock split and the adjustment to the number of shares represented bycertificates issued prior to that date. FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION The Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and the Form 10-Q for the latest quarter ended on March 31, 1999 are attached to this Proxy Statement. MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, ACQUISITIONS, AND SIMILAR MATTERS The Company proposes to change its legal domicile from Delaware to Nevada. The reason for this proposed change is that costs of maintaining the Company as a Nevada corporation are expected to less than as a Delaware corporation but with many of the same favorable provisions in the corporate statutes. Also, it is anticipated that any future changes to the Articles of Incorporation can be processed more quickly in the State of Nevada. In preparation for this change, a Nevada corporation named "Internet Business's International, Inc." has been established. This corporation has not issued any capital stock. Its capital structure is identical to that of the Company, and it has the same directors and officers as the Company. Its principal place of business is the same as that of the Company, and is expected to remain in that location: 3900 Birch Street, Suite 111 Newport Beach, California 92660 (949) 833-0261 The business of the new Nevada company is expected to remain the same as that of the Company. Each of the shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on the merger date shall upon the merger date be converted into one share of common stock of the new Nevada corporation. At any time and from time to time after the merger date, each holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates representing shares of the Company shall be entitled, upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates at the office of an transfer agent of the Company, to receive in exchange a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of the new corporation into which the shares of the Company represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered will be converted. 	The effect of the merger will be that the new corporation will succeed to, without other transfer, and will possess and enjoy all rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and be subject to all restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of two constituent corporations, and the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts to either of the constituent corporations shall be vested in the continuing corporation. In addition, all rights of creditors and all liens on any property of each of constituent corporations will be preserved unimpaired, limited to property affected by the liens at time of merger, and all debts, liabilities and duties of constituent corporations will attach to the continuing corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it. Under Section 354 of the Internal Revenue Code, no gain or loss will be recognized if stock in a corporation as party to a reorganization are, in pursuance of the plan of reorganization, exchange solely for stock in such corporation or another corporation a party to the reorganization. Therefore, there should be no federal tax consequences for the proposed merger. The common stock of the Company is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. On May 28, 1999, the business day before the resolution by the Board of Directors of the Company to proceed with a merger as outlined herein, the high and low sale prices of the stock were $0.20 and $0.1875, respectively. The principal accountant for the current fiscal year and for the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of the Company. However, stockholders may submit questions of an accounting nature to the Company in writing at the meeting and they will be subsequently responded to. There are no individuals, including officers or directors of the Company, who have an interest in the re-domiciling of the Company to Nevada that is different than, or contrary to, the interest of other shareholders. DISSENTERS' RIGHT OF APPRAISAL Under Section 262 of the Delaware Code, any shareholder who dissents from a merger shall have appraisal rights available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation to accept for such stock anything except: (a) Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (b) Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or 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 holders; (c) Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or (d) Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph. The Agreement and Plan of Merger governing this merger does not require a sharedholder to accept for stock of the Company anything except stock of the new Nevada corporation. Therefore, under the provisions of Section 262, there are no dissenters' right of appraisal in connection with this appraisal.

If any other matter is properly brought before the meeting for action by the stockholders, proxies in the enclosed forms returned to the company will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.
