                             Committees and Meetings

     The Board held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001. The Board has standing Audit and Compensation Committees. The Audit
Committee conducted its business during the regular meetings of the Board of
Directors during the last fiscal year and in addition, conferred from time to
time as necessary. The Compensation Committee, in addition to meetings as part
of the regular meetings of the Board, also conferred from time to time as
necessary. The Board has no standing nominating committee. All directors
attended more than 75% of the Board meetings and the meetings of the Board
committees on which such directors served.

     The Audit Committee of the Board presently consists of Justin Kwei, Ernest
Cheung and Maurice Tsakok. The Audit Committee has the responsibility to review
the scope of the annual audit, recommend to the Board the appointment of the
independent auditors, and meet with the independent auditors for review and
analysis of the Company's systems, the adequacy of controls and the sufficiency
of financial reporting and accounting compliance.

         Justin Kwei and Ernest Cheung currently serve on the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee will administer the Company's Employee




Stock Award Plan (the "Plan") and determines the compensation to be paid to each
of the Company's executive officers, employees, and Directors.

                      COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND
                 INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS

         The Securities and Exchange Commission requires disclosure where an
executive officer of a company served or serves as a director or on the
compensation committee of an entity other than the Company and an executive
officer of such other entity served or serves as a director or on the
compensation committee of the Company. The Company does not have any such
interlocks. Decisions as to executive compensation are made by the Compensation
Committee. Justin Kwei and Ernest Cheung are members of the Compensation
Committee.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         The Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for
breach or alleged breach of their duty of care. In addition, as permitted by
the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Bylaws of the Company provide
generally that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by Colorado law, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary.

         The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed
to directors and executive officers by the Colorado Business Corporation Act,
as well as certain additional procedural protections. In addition, the
indemnification agreements provide generally that the Company will advance
expenses incurred by directors and executive officers in any action or proceed-
ing as to which they may be indemnified.

         The indemnification provision in the Bylaws, and the indemnification
agreements entered into between the Company and its directors and executive
officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the officers
and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

                                  ANNUAL REPORT

         The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 2001 (the "Form 10-KSB") is being furnished simultaneously herewith. The
Form 10-KSB is not considered a part of this Proxy Statement.

         The Company will also furnish to any stockholder of the Company a copy
of any exhibit to the Form 10-KSB as listed thereon, upon request and upon




payment of the Company's reasonable expenses of furnishing such exhibit.
Requests should be directed to Justin Kwei, President, Suite 950 - 789 West
Pender Street, Vancouver, BC Canada V6C 1H2.

         The Company's Bylaws currently provide for the number of directors of
the Company to be established by resolution of the Board of Directors and that



number is currently five. The Board has nominated five (5) persons. At this
Annual Meeting, a Board of five (5) directors will be elected. Except as set
forth below, unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the
proxies received by them for Management's nominees named below.

         All the nominees are presently directors of the Company. In the event
that any Management nominee shall become available, or if other persons are
nominated, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute
nominee. It is not expected that any nominee will be unavailable. The term of
office of each person elected as a director will continue until the next Annual
Meeting of Stockholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified.

         The proxies solicited hereby cannot be voted for a number of persons
greater than the number of nominees named below. The Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company does not permit cumulative voting. A plurality of
the votes of the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock represented
at a meeting at which a quorum is presented may elect directors.

         The business experience of each director nominee is discussed on pages
9 and 10 of this Proxy Statement.

1.  Justin Kwei
2.  Ernest Cheung
3.  Maurice Tsakok

2001 and shareholders are asked to ratify such engagement. Ratification of the
appointment of Amisano Hanson, as the Company's independent public accountants
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 will require the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy
and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In the event the stockholders do not
ratify the appointment of Amisano Hanson for the forthcoming fiscal year, such
appointment will be reconsidered by the Board. Representatives of Amisano Hanson

desires to do so, and such representatives are expected to be available to
respond to appropriate questions.

         Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted "FOR"

                           STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLAN

     On March 7, 2002, the Board unanimously approved an Stock Option and Award
Plan, subject to stockholder approval, up to 15% of shares outstanding, all of
which shares will be available for grant to directors and selected employees,

necessary for the Company to compete effectively in its market by attracting and
retaining key talent with stock options.

    Under the Plan, only employees, directors, and consultants of the Company or
any subsidiary (including, without limitation, independent contractors who are
not members of the Board) are eligible to receive grants of options or stockby
the Compensation Committee. In addition, only employees who are common-law
employees of the Company or any subsidiary are eligible for the grant of
options. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board,
which selects the employees to whom options will be granted, determines the
number of shares to be made subject to each grant, and prescribes other terms
and conditions, including the type of consideration to be paid to the Company
for the grant of each option or stock award.

Please refer to Exhibit A for a detail description of the Plan.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE
                          COMPANY'S. STOCK OPTION PLAN

terminated or became exercisable as a result of the termination. The balance of
such Option(s) shall lapse when the Optionee's Service terminates. In the event
that the Optionee dies after the termination of the Optionee's Service but
before the expiration of the Optionee's Option(s), all or part of such Option(s)

exercisable as a result of the Optionee's death. The balance of such Option(s)
shall lapse when the Optionee dies.

                  (j) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee

convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to; the number or
