Box 10365 1260 - 609 Granville Street Vancouver, BC V7Y IG5 INFORMATION CIRCULAR (As at July 11, 2002, except as indicated) This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Inside Holdings Inc. (the "Company") for use at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on August 12, 2002 and at any adjournments thereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. The solicitation will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by officers and employees of the Company. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER A duly completed form of proxy will constitute the person(s) named in the enclosed form of proxy as the shareholder's proxyholder. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy for the Meeting are officers or directors of the Company (the "Management Proxyholders"). A shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder. VOTING BY PROXY Common shares of the Company (the "Shares") represented by properly executed proxies in the accompanying form will be voted or withheld from voting on each respective matter in accordance with the instructions of the member (the "shareholder") on any ballot that may be called for. If no choice is specified and one of the Management Proxyholders is appointed by a shareholder as proxyholder, such person will vote in favour of the matters proposed at the Meeting and for all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting. The enclosed form of proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Montreal Trust Centre, 510 Burrard Street 4th Floor, Vancouver BC V6C 3B9, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently. NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are "non-registered" shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the "Non-Registered Holder") but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP's, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS")) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Policy Statement No. 41 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders. Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non- Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non- Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either: (a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it to Computershare Trust Company of Canada as provided above; or (b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a "proxy authorization form") which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company. In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the Management Proxyholders and insert the Non-Registered Holder's name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered. REVOCABILITY OF PROXY Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the registered shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must, at least 7 days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf. VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF The Company is authorized to issue an 100,000,000 Common shares without nominal or par value (the "common shares"), of which 9,735,300 common shares are issued and outstanding.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON 1. Continuation from the Yukon Territory to Nevada Introduction The Company is seeking the approval and authorization of its shareholders to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company from the Yukon Territory to the State of Nevada. This change of jurisdiction requires the approval of the shareholders of the Company by a special resolution. If approved by the Company's shareholders, the change of jurisdiction would be accomplished by filing Articles of Domestication and Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Company would continue to exist as if it had been incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada upon completion of the domestication process. Continuance Resolution Shareholders will be asked at the meeting to consider and, if thought fit, approve a special resolution (the "Continuance Resolution") transferring the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation from the Yukon Territory to Nevada as follows: "1. the Company be authorized to undertake and complete the continuance of the Company out of the Yukon Territory to the State of Nevada and any one director or officer be authorized to determine the form of such documents required in respect thereof including any supplements or amendments thereto, including, without limitation, the documents referred to below; 2. the Company file Articles of Domestication and Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada and take such further actions as may be appropriate to give effect to the domestication of the Company in the State of Nevada pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada; 3. effective on the date of such domestication in Nevada, the Company adopt the Company's new constitution in the form submitted to the meeting, in substitution for the existing Articles and By-Laws of the Company; 4. effective on the date of such domestication in Nevada, the Company change its name to "SHEP Global Technologies Ltd." or such other name as may be determined by the directors and acceptable to regulatory authorities and change its authorized capital to Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares, of which One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares will be common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and One Hundred Million (100,000,000) will be preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share; 5. the Board of Directors of the Company be authorized to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as may be required to give effect to the foregoing; 6. the directors may, in their sole discretion, elect not to act on or carry out this special resolution without further approval of the shareholders of the Company." Purpose The board of directors believes that the use of U.S. corporation whose securities are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will provide a platform to stimulate and increase U.S. market interest and facilitate capital raising in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world for the Company. The board of directors is of the view that the continuation will benefit the Company and its shareholders. Effects of Change of Jurisdiction The rights of the Company's stockholders are currently governed by the Yukon Business Corporations Act (the "YBCA") and the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (the "Yukon Charter Documents"). Upon completion of the continuance from the Yukon Territory and the domestication in Nevada, the rights of the Company's stockholders will be governed by Chapters 78 and 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") and the Company's Nevada Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (the "Nevada Charter Documents"). A copy of the Company's proposed Nevada Articles of Incorporation is attached to this Information Circular as Appendix A. A copy of the Company's Nevada Bylaws will be available for inspection at the shareholders meeting. The following summary compares the rights of shareholders under the YBCA and the Yukon Charter Documents and the rights of shareholders under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents. The following summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of the Company's stockholders under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents as compared with the rights of the under the YBCA and the Yukon Charter Documents. Shareholders are referred to the full text of the YBCA and the NRS for a complete comparison of these rights. Shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding all of the implications of the transactions contemplated in the Continuance Resolution. Authorized Capital The Company's authorized capital stock currently consists of 100,000,000 common shares without nominal or par value. Upon completion of the domestication, the Nevada Charter Documents will provide that the Company's authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents, the board of directors would be empowered, with no need for further shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, and with such dividend rates and rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, rights and terms of redemption and other rights, preferences, and privileges as determined by the board of directors. Amendments to the Charter Documents of the Company Under the YBCA, changes to Yukon Charter Documents require a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders voting on the resolution authorising the alteration and, where the rights of the holders of a class or series of shares are affected differently by the alteration than those of holders of other classes or series of shares, a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of shares of each class or series. A resolution to amalgamate a YBCA corporation requires a special resolution passed by the shareholders voting on the resolution or, where the amalgamation contains a provision that would entitle a class or series vote under section 178 of the YBCA, then such class or series may vote separately as a class or series. The NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents will require that the shareholders of the Company approve any amendments to the Company's Nevada Articles of Incorporation. Any amendments must be approved by stockholders holding shares in the Company entitling them to exercise at least a majority of the voting power. The holders of the outstanding shares of a particular class are entitled to vote as a class on a proposed amendment if the amendment would alter or change the power, preferences or special rights of one or more series of any class so to affect them adversely. In addition, any merger or exchange of shares must be approved by a majority of the voting power of the stockholders of the Company. The NRS does not require stockholder approval for the board of directors of a corporation to fix the voting powers, designation, preferences, limitations, restrictions and rights of a class of stock provided that the corporation's charter documents grant such power to its board of directors. Bylaws Under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents, the Company's board of directors will have the power to make the bylaws of the Company, subject to the bylaws, if any, adopted by the shareholders. Sale of Company's Undertaking Under the YBCA, the approval of the shareholders of a corporation represented at a duly called meeting to which are attached not less than two thirds of the votes entitled to vote upon a sale, lease or exchange or all or substantially all of the property of the corporation, and, where the class or series is affected by the sale, lease or exchange in a manner different from another class or series, the holders of shares of that class or series are entitled to vote separately as a class or series. Under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents, the approval of stockholders entitled to exercise at least a majority of the voting power must approve the sale, lease or exchange of all of the Company's property and assets, including its goodwill and corporate franchises, at a stockholders' meeting called for that purpose. Rights of Dissent and Appraisal The YBCA contains provisions that shareholders who dissent to certain actions being taken by the Company, may exercise a right of dissent and, inter alia, require the company to purchase the shares held by such a shareholder at the fair value of such shares. The procedure for exercising this remedy is set out in section 193 of the YBCA. Briefly a dissenting shareholder must send to the Company a written notice of objection to the subject resolution. If the subject resolution is approved, the dissenting shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Shareholder except the right to be paid the fair value of his shares. The dissenting shareholder may apply to court to fix the fair value of his shares. At any time prior to the court's order on such fair value, the Company and the dissenting shareholder may reach an agreement as to the fair value of the shares. Under the NRS, shareholders have the right to dissent with respect to the following corporate actions: (a) consummation of a plan of merger to which the Company is a party if: (i) shareholder approval is required for the merger under the NRS or the Company's articles of incorporation, regardless of whether the shareholder is entitled to vote on the merger; or (ii) the Company is a subsidiary that is merged with its parent under the NRS; (b) consummation of a plan of exchange to which a company is a party as the company whose shares will be acquired, if the shares of the shareholder are to be acquired in the plan of exchange; (c) any corporate action taken pursuant to a vote of the stockholders in the event that the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the directors provides that voting or non-voting stockholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. A shareholder who exercises a right of dissent under the NRS is entitled to be paid the fair value of his or her shares as determined under the NRS. Oppression Remedies Under the YBCA, a shareholder, former shareholder, director, former director, officer, former officer of a corporation or any of its affiliates, or any other person who, in the discretion of a court, is a proper person to seek an oppression remedy may apply to a court for an order to rectify the matters complained of where, in respect of a corporation or any of its affiliates, any act or omission of the corporation or its affiliates effects a result, or the business or affairs of the corporation or its affiliates are or have been exercised in a manner, that is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to, or that unfairly disregards the interest of, any security holder, creditor, director or officer. The NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents do not provide for any comparable oppression remedies. Shareholder Derivative Actions The YBCA contains a relatively broad right to bring a derivative action. This right extends to officers, former shareholders, former directors and former officers of a corporation or its affiliates, and any person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person to make an application to court to bring a derivative action. In addition, the YBCA permits derivative actions to be commenced in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries. The NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents do not provide for any comparable shareholder derivative actions. Requisition of Meetings The YBCA provides that one or more members of a company holding not less than 5% of the issued voting shares of the Company may give notice to the directors requiring them to call and hold a general meeting. Under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents, the entire board of directors, any two directors or the president may call annual and special meetings of the stockholders and directors. If any Nevada corporation fails to elect directors within 18 months after the last election of directors at an annual meeting, any district court in Nevada has jurisdiction to order the election of directors at a meeting of stockholders upon the application of any one or more stockholders holding stock entitling them to exercise at least 15 percent of the voting power of the common stock. Form of Proxy and Information Circular The YBCA contains provisions which require the mandatory solicitation of proxies and delivery of a management proxy circular containing prescribed information regarding the matter to be dealt with at and conduct of the general meeting. The NRS requires that shareholders be given written notice of a meeting of shareholders at least 10 and not more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. The NRS permits shareholders to vote by proxy but does not require that proxies be sent to the shareholders or that an information circular be sent to shareholders. Upon domestication in Nevada, the Company will be required to comply with the proxy solicitation requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with any meeting or solicitation of the consent of stockholders. Place of Meetings The YBCA provides that meetings of shareholders may be held outside the Yukon where the Company's bylaws so provide. The NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents provides that shareholder meetings may be held within or outside the State of Nevada in the manner provided by the bylaws. The bylaws proposed to be adopted by the Company will permit shareholder meetings to be held within or outside the State of Nevada. Directors The YBCA requires that at least two of the directors not be officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates. Under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents, the number of directors of the Company will be a minimum of 1 director and a maximum of 12 directors, as determined by the board of directors. All vacancies, including those caused by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum. Under the NRS, the directors and officers of the Company are required to exercise their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation. Directors are generally not individually liable to the Company or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in the individual's capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that: (i) the individual's act or failure to act constituted a breach of the individual's fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (ii) the ndividual's breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Pre-Emptive Rights The YBCA provides that existing shareholders have pre-emptive rights in respect of share issuances if the articles or a unanimous shareholder agreement so provides. Under the NRS and the Nevada Charter Documents, stockholders of the Company will not have pre-emptive rights in respect of any share issuances. U.S. Federal Securities Laws The Company's common shares are currently registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"). The Company currently qualifies as a "foreign private issuer" under the Exchange Act. As a "foreign private issuer", the Company files annual reports, which include the Company's audited financial statements, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on a Form 20-F within six months of the date of the Company's fiscal year end. The Company must also file with the SEC copies of any documents filed by the Company with Canadian securities commissions. The Company will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act once the continuation is completed. However, the Company's reporting obligations will increase as the Company will cease to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" once it completes the continuance and is domesticated in Nevada. As a domestic United States company under the 1934 Act, the Company will be required to: (a) file annual reports on Form 10-KSB, which will include the Company's audited financial statements, within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year; (b) file quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, which will include the Company's unaudited interim financial statements, within 45 days of the end of each of its fiscal quarters; (c) file current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of certain material changes; and (d) comply with the proxy solicitation rules set forth in Section 14 of the 1934 Act. In addition, the insiders of the Company will become subject to the insider reporting obligations, short swing profit rules and short sale prohibitions provided by Section 16 of the 1934 Act. Rights of Dissent - Continuance The shareholders are entitled to the dissent rights set out in Section 193 of the YBCA and to be paid the fair value of their common shares or if such shareholder dissents to the Continuance and the Continuance becomes effective. Neither a vote against the Continuance resolution, nor an abstention or the execution or exercise of a proxy vote against such resolution will constitute notice of dissent, but a shareholder need not vote against such resolution in order to object. A shareholder must dissent with respect to all common shares either held personally by him or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and which are registered in one name. A brief summary of the provisions of Section 193 of the YBCA is set out below. Persons who are beneficial owners of common shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that ONLY A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER IS ENTITLED TO DISSENT. A shareholder who beneficially owns common shares but is not the registered holder thereof, should contact the registered holder for assistance. In order to dissent, a shareholder must send to the Company in the manner set forth below, a written notice of objection (the "Objection Notice") to the Continuance resolution. On the action approved by the Continuance resolution becoming effective, the making of an agreement between the Company and the dissenting shareholder as to the payment to be made for the dissenting shareholder's shares or the pronouncement of an order by the Court, whichever first occurs, the shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of his shares in an amount agreed to by the Company and the shareholder or in the amount of the judgment, as the case may be, which fair value shall be determined as of the close of business on the last business day before the day on which the resolution from which the dissent was adopted. Until any one of such events occurs, the shareholder may withdraw his dissent or the Company may rescind the resolution and in either event, the proceedings shall be discontinued. If the Continuance is approved, the dissenting shareholder who sent an Objection Notice, or the Company, may apply to the Court to fix the fair value of the common shares held by the dissenting shareholder and the Court shall make an order fixing the fair value of such common shares, giving judgment in that amount against the Company in favour of the dissenting Shareholders and fixing the time by which the Company must pay that amount to the dissenting shareholder. If such an application is made by a dissenting shareholder , the Company shall, unless the Court otherwise orders, send to each dissenting shareholder a written offer (the "Offer to Purchase") to pay to the dissenting shareholder, an amount considered by the directors of the Company to be the fair value of the subject common shares, together with a statement showing how the fair value of the subject common shares was determined. Every Offer to Purchase shall be on the same terms. At any time before the Court pronounces an order fixing the fair value of the dissenting shareholder's common shares, a dissenting shareholder may make an agreement with the Company for the purchase of his common shares, in the amount of the Offer to Purchase, or otherwise. The Offer to Purchase shall be sent to each dissenting shareholder within 10 days of the Company being served with a copy of the originating notice. Any order of the Court may also contain directions in relation to the payment to the shareholder of all or part of the sum offered by the Company for the common shares, the deposit of the share certificates representing the common shares, and other matters. If the Company is not permitted to make a payment to a dissenting shareholder due to there being reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is or would after the payment be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of the Company's assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities, then the Company shall, within ten days after the pronouncement of an order, or the making of an agreement between the shareholder and the Company as to the payment to be made for his common shares, notify each dissenting shareholder that it is unable lawfully to pay such dissenting shareholders for their shares. Notwithstanding that a judgment has been given in favour of a dissenting shareholder by the Court, if the Company is not permitted to make a payment to a dissenting shareholder for the reasons stated in the previous paragraph, the dissenting shareholder by written notice delivered to the Company within 30 days after receiving the notice, as set forth in the previous paragraph, may withdraw his notice of objection in which case the Company is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and the shareholder is reinstated to his full rights as a shareholder, failing which he retains his status as a claimant against the Company to be paid as soon as it is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the Company but in priority to its shareholders. In order to be effective, a written Objection Notice must be received by the Company's Registered and Records Office, Suite 300, 204 Black Street, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory Y1A 2M9 or by the Chairman of the meeting, prior to the commencement or recommencement thereof. The foregoing summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a dissenting shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of his common shares. Section 193 of the YBCA requires strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters' rights. Accordingly, each Shareholder who might desire to exercise the dissenters' rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the section and consult such shareholders' legal advisor. A copy of Section 193 of the YBCA is attached hereto as Appendix B. The directors of the Company may elect not to proceed with the transactions contemplated in the Continuance Resolution if any notices of dissent are received. 2. Other Matters Management of the Company is not aware of any other matter to come before the meeting other than as set forth in the notice of meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.
