Only shareholders of record of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business March 31, 2002 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof.

The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting is 36,312,500. The Company is not asking for a Proxy from any shareholder. The enclosed Notice of Meeting provides you with detailed information about the meeting.

We encourage you to read this entire document carefully. By Order of the Board of Directors: Kevin Reem ------------------ Chairman, May 1, 2002 2 UNITED FILM PARTNERS, INC 1224 N LINCOLN ST. BURBANK, CA 91506 ------------------- NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING ---------------------- We Are Not Asking You for a Proxy and You are Requested Not To Send Us a Proxy ------------------------------------------------------------- MAY 1, 2002 INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING ----------------- General The Company is not soliciting proxies; the Board has a sufficient number of votes committed to the election of the slate of directors and the confirmation of the independent auditors. Therefore, it is not necessary that the Board solicit proxies from shareholders. Voting Rights The holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on March 31, 2002 will be entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on March 31, 2002 the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote 36,312,500 shares of Common Stock. Stockholder Proposals To be considered for presentation at United Film Partners, Inc 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and included in our proxy statement, a stockholder proposal must be received at United Film Partners, Inc's offices no later than December 26, 2002. Such proposals must comply with the Company's bylaws and the requirements of Regulation 14A (including Rule 14a-8) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). To curtail controversy as to the date on which a proposal was received by the Company, we suggest that proponents submit their proposals by certified mail, return receipt requested. In addition, pursuant to Rule 14a-4 of the Exchange Act, the Company may exercise discretionary voting authority at the 2003 Annual Meeting under proxies it solicits to vote on a proposal made by a stockholder that the stockholder does not seek to include in the Company's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8, unless the Company is notified about the proposal no later than March 11, 2003 (assuming that the Company's 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held on a date that is within 30 days from the date on which the 2002 Annual Meeting was held), and the stockholder satisfies the other requirements of Rule 14a-4(c). Dissenters' Right of Appraisal Directors are elected by plurality vote and therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes (as hereinafter defined), will have no effect on the outcome of this vote. Adoption of proposals 2 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. For the purpose of determining the vote required for approval of Proposal 2, shares held by stockholders who abstain from voting will be treated as being "present" and "entitled to vote" on the matter and, thus, an abstention has the same legal effect 3 as a vote against the matter. However, in the case of a broker non-vote or where a stockholder withholds authority from his Proxy to vote the Proxy as to Proposal 2, such shares will not be treated as "present" and "entitled to vote" on the matter and, thus, a broker non-vote or the withholding of a Proxy's authority will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the matter. A "broker non-vote" refers to shares of Common Stock represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy by a broker or nominee where such broker or nominee (i) has not received voting instructions on a particular matter from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on such matter. PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS There are three nominees for the three Board positions that will be authorized pursuant to the Company's Bylaws as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Each director to be elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until a successor is elected and has qualified, or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. Each nominee listed below is currently a director of the Company. The candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares entitled to be voted will be elected directors of the Company. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. The current Board of Directors recommends each named nominee below: KEVIN REEM. (to be elected as Chairman); and STEPHEN STOTESBERY; and TERENCE M. O'KEEFE.
