REPRESENTATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT IN CONNECTION

MEETING
PLACE, DATE AND TIME
The Annual Meeting will be held at 2300 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 500, Las Vegas,
Nevada 89102, on April 22, 2003 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
RECORD DATE; SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has fixed the close of
business on April 1, 2003 as the Record Date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the
Record Date, there were 99,550,070 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting held by approximately 454 holders of
record. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting
for each share of Common Stock held of record at the Record Date.
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, proxies may also
be solicited by the Company and its directors, officers and employees (who will
receive no additional compensation therefor) by telephone, telegram, facsimile
transmission or other electronic communication, and/or by personal interview.
The Company will reimburse banks, brokerage houses, custodians and other
fiduciaries who hold shares of Common Stock in their name or custody, or in the
name of nominees for others, for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
forwarding copies of the proxy materials to those persons for whom they hold
such shares. The Company will bear the costs of the Annual Meeting and of
soliciting proxies therefor, including the cost of printing and mailing this
Proxy Statement and related materials. The Company has spent approximately
$5,000 in legal and other expenses in the preparation of this proxy statement
and other expenses connected with the solicitation of security holders. It is
anticipated that the Company will spend an additional $5,000 in solicitation of
security holders before the meeting is held.
Any questions or requests for assistance regarding the Company's proxies and
related materials may be directed in writing to Jan Wallace at 6929 E. Cheney
Dr., Paradise Valley, AZ 85253.
PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING
At the Annual Meeting, holders of Common Stock of the Company will be asked to
elect directors and approve a reverse split of the stock. See the section
entitled "Reverse Stock Split" for background and details.
VOTE REQUIRED
Twenty Five Percent (25%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote as of the Record Date, represented in person or by proxy, is
required for a quorum at the Annual Meeting; however, the affirmative vote of a
majority of all outstanding voting shares in favor of the Reverse Stock Split
will be necessary to approve the action, and the nominees receiving the two
highest number of votes will be elected to the board of directors. Abstentions
may be specified and will be counted as present for the purpose of determining
the existence of a quorum.
5
Shares of Common Stock that are represented by properly executed proxies, unless
such proxies shall have previously been properly revoked (as provided herein),
will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If
no contrary instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted FOR approval
of reverse stock split and FOR the nominees for the Board named herein, and in
the discretion of the persons named in the proxy as proxy appointees, as to any
other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting (of which the
Company is not presently aware). Shares represented by proxies that have voted
against the propositions presented at the meeting can not be used to postpone or
adjourn the meeting in order to solicit more votes for the proposition.
Under the rules of the NASD, although brokers who hold shares in a street name
have the authority to vote on certain items when they have not received
instructions from the beneficial owners, brokers will not be entitled to vote on
the approval of the Reverse Stock Split absent specific instructions. Brokers
who do not receive instructions but who are present, in person or by proxy, at
the Annual Meeting will be counted as present for quorum purposes.
It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in this Proxy
Statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If other matters are
properly presented, however, the persons named as proxy appointees will vote in
accordance with their best judgment on such matters. The grant of a proxy also
will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to
vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct
of the Annual Meeting.
Any shareholder may revoke his, her or its proxy (other than an irrevocable
proxy coupled with an interest) at any time before it is voted, by: (1) filing
with the Corporate Secretary of the Company an instrument revoking the proxy;
(2) returning a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or (3) attending the
Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not
by itself constitute revocation of a proxy. There are no dissenter's rights or
remedies for shareholders who do not agree with the outcome of the vote on the
issues to be brought at this Annual Meeting.
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INFORMATION PRESENTED
IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, AND SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, DATE, SIGN AND
PROMPTLY RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY IN THE ACCOMPANYING PREPAID ENVELOPE.
6
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Two directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting, to hold office for one
year until the next annual meeting of shareholders, and until their successors
are elected and qualified. It is intended that the accompanying proxy will be
voted in favor of the following persons to serve as directors unless the
shareholder indicates to the contrary on the proxy. Management expects that the
nominees will be available for election, but if not, it is intended that such
proxy will be voted for the election of other nominees to be designated by the
Board of Directors to fill any such vacancy.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS
A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE NAMED NOMINEE

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Currently the Company's operations are at a standstill and its stock price is at
an all time low. In addition, the company has issued a total of 99,550,070 out
of 100,000,000 authorized common shares and is therefore unable to issue
additional shares without increasing the authorized shares or reducing the total
issued shares through a reverse stock split. Management has determined that it
must seek additional funding or other business relationships such as a merger or
reverse acquisition in order to proceed with an active business operation.
While no such relationships or funding have been identified as of yet,
management believes that the currently large number of issued and outstanding
shares may negatively effect the consummation of any such relationship and that
a smaller number of issued and outstanding shares will assist in management's
attracting of funding sources and merger partners on terms that will be most
beneficial to the Company.
As a consequence, the board recommends that the Company's common stock undergo a
reverse split on a basis of one share for every 500 shares presently outstanding
in order to make the corporation more attractive as a target for a merger or
reverse acquisition and to allow the company to offer its stock to investors.
Approval of this reverse stock split will effectively reduce the number of
shares held by each shareholder as well as the total number of shares
outstanding.
The percentage of outstanding shares owned by each shareholder prior to the
split will remain the same. Any fractional shares created by this reverse split
will be rounded up to the next whole share. Additionally, if as a result of the
reverse split calculations, any shareholder's holdings is reduced to an
ownership of less than one share, or zero, the Company will round up that
fractional share and grant such a shareholder at least one share in the Company,
or, at the option of the Company, purchase the stockholders shares at the bid
price existing for the Company's stock on the day prior to the effectiveness of
the reverse split.
You have an opportunity to vote in favor or against this reverse stock split by
checking the appropriate box on the attached proxy card. By not checking a box
on the proxy card, you will be taken as voting in favor of the reverse stock
split.
For the reasons described above, the board recommends a vote in favor of the
reverse stock split.
