DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT INCEPTION THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1997 World Wide Motion Pictures (a sole proprietorship)(the "Predecessor") was founded in July of 1977, with the guidance and consultation of well-known producer and director Otto Preminger, under the name of World Wide Motion Pictures and later incorporated under the laws of the state of Michigan on December 9, 1980 under the name of World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation (the "Predecessor") and has filed "annual reports" with the state of Michigan securities bureau as required by Michigan law. The Predecessor was formed for the purpose of financing, developing, producing, purchasing and distributing filmed and taped motion picture and television product for consumption by the general public. In March of 1981 the Predecessor acquired G.L. Productions, Inc. and all of its facilities, a Washington, D.C. company (see Exhibit 2.1). In November of 1983, the Predecessor, through a reorganization agreement, merged with the National Power Corporation (the "Registrant")(formerly Juggernaut Energy Corporation), a Utah public corporation (see Exhibit 2.2). National Power Corporation's common stock was traded on the over-the-counter market with registered broker-dealer firms making a market nationally. Contemporaneously with the merger, the name of the Registrant was changed to WWMP Inc. and subsequently changed to World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation. At the time of this filing, the Registrant has shareholders in 32 states and 7 foreign countries including England, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Israel, and Canada including the names of 15 broker-dealer firms holding the Registrant's common securities. The Predecessor formerly was, and currently the Registrant is, organized to finance, develop, produce, purchase and market/distribute a wide variety of motion picture and television projects including feature films, short subjects, docudramas, documentaries, industrial films, and television productions using a formula of high technology, moderate budget, cost control, and continual flow of product. (See pages 8, 9 & 10.) THE REGISTRANT IS ENGAGED IN AND PURSUING DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES WITH PROFIT POTENTIAL AS AUTHORIZED BY ITS CHARTER AND BYLAWS SUCH AS NEW AND EMERGING MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES, EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES. The Registrant has an active 17 member Board of Directors; Board designated committees including Executive, Audit, Finance, and Personnel; staff operating committees including Production and Product Development, Standards, and Experimental projects; elected officers, and an Advisory Board of Directors. Certain other individuals who provide technical, theatrical, marketing, business, and production services to the Registrant on a specific ongoing basis have entered into contracts with the Registrant. (SEE EXHIBITS 10.14 - 10.22) The following transactions represent certain events that have transpired throughout the history of the Registrant's business that resulted in major developments within the Registrant's current corporate strategic plan AND THE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. (bullet) CORPORATE ACQUISITION BY THE PREDECESSOR In March of 1981, the Predecessor acquired G.L. Productions Inc., a Washington, D.C. company ("GLP") and all of its assets. GLP was a production and distribution company producing and distributing short subject, docudrama, documentary and industrial motion pictures. Certain of GLP's productions were produced and distributed in conjunction with the United States Government. The Predecessor acquired GLP by the exchange of 12,469 then authorized and previously unissued shares of the Predecessor which, upon merger with the Registrant, became 2,012,814 shares of common stock of the Registrant. These shares were issued to GLP's president and sole owner, George T. Lindsey, for 1000 shares of GLP unregistered common stock representing 100% of GLP's outstanding common stock. Mr. Lindsey is currently a Vice President for the Registrant and is entitled to a contractual sales commission of five (5%) percent of any revenue of the product library of the Registrant that was owned by GLP prior to its acquisition by the Predecessor from lease or sale by him personally to third parties. (There have been no commissions earned by Mr. Lindsey during the past three years.)(SEE EXHIBIT 2.1.) (bullet) THE NATIONAL POWER CORPORATION AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION On February 7, 1980, Juggernaut Energy Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah. (See Exhibit 3.0 and 3.1). In April of 1980, Juggernaut Energy Corporation had prepared an offering circular for the issuance of an initial public offering of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock for the purpose of acquiring a maximum of $100,000 or minimum of $50,000 in working capital. (See Exhibit 3.2). The offering was underwritten by First Equities Corp. of Salt Lake City, Utah, the effective date of which was April 18, 1980. The stock offering price was $.20 per share and the offering was closed upon the acquisition of the minimum amount of expected proceeds. Combined with the original incorporator's stock, immediately following the close of the public offering, the Registrant's outstanding shares of common stock totalled 1,350,000 (150,000 initially issued to Officers, Directors and Founder of the corporation; 500,000 from offering; 150,000 at par value $0.01 as partial consideration for the assignment of interest in oil exploration; 550,000 for $5,500.00 cash). On October 17, 1981, Juggernaut Energy Corporation amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a name change to National Power Corporation, increase the authorized common stock to 50,000,000 shares, and decrease the par value from $.01 to $.0025 per share. (See Exhibit 3.3) On October 14, 1983, National Power Corporation executed a letter of intent with the Predecessor, the material provisions of which provided that the Predecessor would exchange 145,578 of its unregistered common shares for 23,500,000 of the issued and outstanding capital stock of National Power Corporation. On February 10, 1984, pursuant to a special meeting of shareholders of the National Power Corporation, a majority of the National Power Corporation's issued and outstanding shares adopted resolutions relating to the consummation of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization as between the Predecessor, namely World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation and the National Power Corporation. (See Exhibit 3.12) In connection with the foregoing, the Predecessor issued to the National Power Corporation 145,578 shares of its unregistered common stock and in consideration therefore, the Predecessor acquired, in a tax-free stock for stock transaction (calculated to comply with Internal Revenue Codes), approximately 94% of the issued and outstanding shares of the National Power Corporation. Further, the merger process resulted in a change in the Registrant's number of shares issued, outstanding and authorized and a change in par value. Also, as a result of the foregoing transaction, a change in control of the Registrant took place and a new board of directors was elected. The National Power Corporation also amended its Articles of Incorporation to effect a name change to World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation, the Registrant. (See Exhibits 3.0 thru 3.16) (bullet) SECURITIES OFFERINGS OF THE PREDECESSOR AND REGISTRANT In June of 1982, the Predecessor's securities counsel, Dykema, Gossett, Spencer, Goodnow & Trigg, under the direction of the Predecessor's management, prepared an unregistered private placement limited partnership offering circular for the production of one full length feature motion picture. Net proceeds to the company would have been $1,000,000 (50 units at $20,000 per unit). The offering was prepared as a self-underwriting financing proposed by the Predecessor to be formed in compliance with the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Michigan. The offering was abandoned prior to any sales of units as a result of a change in strategic planning by the Predecessor's management. Essentially, management concluded that expending all of its production resources in the preparation of one motion picture was unduly speculative and that participation in a broad range of film and television partnership packages would thereby assure a greater degree of opportunity for success. In March of 1986, the Registrant's securities counsel, Berry, Moorman, King, Cook and Hudson, under the direction of the Registrant's management, prepared a registered private placement limited partnership offering circular for the production of four full length feature motion pictures. Net proceeds to the Registrant would have been $200,000 minimum or $4,960,000 maximum (40 units at $5,000 per unit minimum/992 units at $5,000 per unit maximum). The offering was to be underwritten by R.B. Marich Inc., a registered broker/dealer firm in Denver, Colorado, and W.R. Lazard & Co., a registered broker/dealer firm in New York, New York. The offering was withdrawn as a result of impending changes that occurred in the United States tax laws at that time. All proceeds that were committed to the offering were returned. The Registrant has not proposed a public offering of its common stock since the initial public offering of the National Power Corporation in 1980. (bullet) FILM LIBRARY ACQUISITIONS THE REGISTRANT ACQUIRES VARIOUS COMPLETED MOTION PICTURES AND TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE TOTALLY OR PARTIALLY PURCHASED IN EXCHANGE FOR COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK, AND A REVENUE PARTICIPATION OF THE REGISTRANT. A SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITION OCCURRED in November of 1991, AT WHICH TIME the Registrant entered into an agreement with an un-related non-affiliated entity, Presidio Productions, a California corporation ("Presidio")(see Exhibit 10.7), whereby the Registrant acquired all right, title and interest in 136 motion picture and television productions ("Product") in exchange for a total consideration aggregating 2,000,000 fully paid, non-assessable, unregistered Rule 144 shares of common stock of the Registrant and 25,000 fully paid, non-assessable, unregistered shares of preferred stock of the Registrant. Further terms and conditions of the Registrant/Presidio transaction were as follows: a.) The Registrant agreed to cause all of the common shares being issued to Presidio thereunder to be issued immediately following the "closing" of the Registrant/Presidio transaction; and, b.) The Registrant issued the remaining preferred shares upon the delivery of all physical elements of the product including 35mm gauge negative film footage, 35mm gauge answer print film footage, 1-inch videotape masters, 3/4" videotape submasters, and 1/2" videotape archival cassettes. The value of the film library was determined by arms-length negotiations between the buyer and the seller which included review of production and replacement costs, previous marketing experience and marketing potential. Accordingly, the Registrant has pursuant to GAAP, reported the transaction in the financial statements at $12,750,000 under unclassified assets. On December 14, 1992, the Registrant/Presidio transaction was considered closed, with all parties thereto having executed the agreement (see Exhibit 10.7) and Product delivered to the Registrant. Under the terms of that same agreement all Product had been delivered by Presidio to the Registrant in good condition and represented to be free of any and all liens or encumbrances along with a bill of sale regarding the same. A LIMITED AMOUNT OF REVENUE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE LEASING OF FILMS AND TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS IN THE LIBRARY. (SEE ITEM 15 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) (bullet) FORMATION OF OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES OF THE REGISTRANT In July, 1993, the Registrant formed two fully operational, wholly owned subsidiaries, World Wide Film & Television Institute and WWMPC Environmental Services Corporation. The Institute's primary business is the development, production, marketing, and implementation of educational symposiums, workshops, lectures, and forums, on a national basis in areas covering the entertainment industry specifically film and television, financing, packaging, production, marketing/distribution, and the political/networking process that accompanies these areas of expertise. Main events (primarily symposiums and seminars with more than one hundred participants) are scheduled on an annual basis and workshops, lectures and forums intermittently throughout the year. The Registrant's first entry into a completely diversified field was the formation of WWMPC Environmental Services Corporation. This company's primary business was the marketing and distribution of environmental services (including detection and remediation of indoor air quality for residential and commercial dwellings and products)(including indoor air quality testing kits for residential and commercial dwellings); the orchestration, production, marketing, and implementation of information seminars and infomercials designed specifically for contractors and other professionals in the energy business desirous of augmenting their existing activity by entering the environmental services field. Special staff with expertise in this area was retained by the Registrant's management to ensure optimum productivity and growth potential. The Registrant discontinued the operation of this business in December 1994. SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS ARE FORMED PERIODICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING, PRODUCING, OR DISTRIBUTING ONE OR MORE MOTION PICTURE OR TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS OWNED AND/OR CONTROLLED BY THE REGISTRANT. THE SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS, WHEN ACTIVE, INDIVIDUALLY OPERATE AS A SEPARATE BUSINESS WITH SEPARATELY DEFINED BOARDS OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE AND OPERATING OFFICERS, INVESTORS, LIABILITIES, PRODUCTION OR CO-PRODUCTION TEAMS AND REVENUE SHARING ARRANGEMENTS. CURRENTLY, THE REGISTRANT HAS TWO ACTIVE "PRODUCTION" CORPORATION SUBSIDIARIES; WORLD WIDE FILMS INC., WHICH WAS RECENTLY USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE FEATURE LENGTH MOTION PICTURE TENTATIVELY ENTITLED SHATTERED ILLUSION FEATURING MORGAN FAIRCHILD, BRUCE WEITZ, RICHARD LYNCH, AND DAN MONAHAN, AND WORLD WIDE PRODUCTIONS INC. FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN UPCOMING FEATURE LENGTH MOTION PICTURE TENTATIVELY ENTITLED ALONG FOR THE RIDE. A DIVERSIFIED SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION WAS FORMED IN DECEMBER 1996 TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF HOME HEALTH CARE AND TEMPORARY NURSING SERVICES TO THE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THIS NEW SUBSIDIARY EXPECTS TO BEGIN PRODUCING PROFITS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1998. BUSINESS OF REGISTRANT PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OF THE REGISTRANT The principal business of the Registrant is the development, financing, production, purchasing and marketing/distribution of feature films/video productions and various other forms of filmed and/or televised entertainment. In addition, the Registrant and its (STRIKEOUT)affiliates(STRIKEOUT) ASSOCIATES produce/co-produce documentaries, docudramas, industrial films, and specialty television productions for consumption by the general public. Feature films and short subject projects completed and/or marketed by the Registrant are generally rented or sold to national and international theater chains, independent television stations and television networks. Revenue can be generated from a variety of sources. The two basic sources are: (1) theatrical exhibition pursuant to agreements which generally provide for payment by the exhibitors of a percentage of box office receipts with or without a guarantee of a fixed minimum, and (2) licensing to television networks and independent stations pursuant to agreements which provide for a fixed number of telecasts over a fixed period of time for a fixed license fee payable in periodic installments. Substantial additional profits may accrue from ancillary areas of the industry including retail home video cassette sales and rentals, product merchandising, literary rights, and related paraphernalia. Currently, 100% of the Revenue received by the Registrant has been from the leasing of film and television productions from its library. The Registrant produces/co-produces and markets its product as individual motion pictures and television productions which are customarily organized and accounted for as separate businesses with their own management, employees, equipment and budgets. Currently, the Registrant is using wholly owned subsidiary corporations it has formed for motion picture and television production. The controlling production entity or co-production entity (in certain cases, the Registrant) has primary overall responsibility for all aspects of a project, from pre-production, principal photography and post production through marketing and distribution. The individual producer (s) for each film or television project is responsible for general management and coordination of the film or video as well as planning, principal casting, technical and creative responsibilities to be performed in conjunction with the director of the production. The production of a full length motion picture or feature television project involves a number of related activities which, in general, can take six months to a year to fully complete. Producers, directors, performers, writers, and various technicians who participate in the production of the Registrant's films and video projects are generally retained on a project-by-project basis, and are normally compensated by negotiated fixed fees and all standard guidelines set down by unions in the motion picture and television industry. The Registrant's various production, development, marketing, and finance committees continuously review and, in specific cases, package feature film and television projects for financing, production, and distribution. Management of the Registrant has, since the Registrant's inception, encouraged screenplay and teleplay submission and completed projects in all genre of filmed and video taped entertainment in order to insure the best possible opportunity for selection of quality and marketable product for the Registrant to be involved. The Registrant currently owns and maintains a completed screenplay and teleplay literary library encompassing 57 WGA (Writer's Guild of America) registered properties from which it occasionally selects the most imaginative and promising ones for either development, production, or marketing. Certain screenplays and teleplays currently owned or optioned by the Registrant have been developed and packaged for production. Additionally, the Registrant currently owns and maintains a completed film and video library encompassing 273 titles of feature length motion pictures, documentaries, docudramas, and television projects. For internal control, the Registrant's Board of Directors directed management to retain an independent appraiser in order to verify the value of its library as currently determined by staff and management (see Item 15. Financial Statements and Exhibits, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2). The Registrant also owns film equipment, a sound effects library, a still slide library, novels and options on treatments and holds a beneficial interest in certain ongoing contracts. Options on literary treatments otherwise defined as developing storylines and creative ideas are occasionally secured by the Registrant and company's like the Registrant for the purpose of developing the storyline or creative idea into a fully developed screenplay or teleplay at some unknown time in the future. The Registrant may or may not contribute expertise to a project such as rewriting, packaging, financing, production and budgeting. The Registrant's "beneficial interest" (percentage of future revenue, if any) in certain ongoing contracts includes certain of the above-referred to options or options on already fully prepared screenplays or teleplays which may or may not be produced into a film or television production at some unknown time in the future. None of the ongoing contracts "beneficial interest" entered into by the Registrant is significantly material to the Registrant's current financial condition and/or operations at the present time. The full development of the contracts is dependent on the acquisition of additional capital by the Registrant. Distribution of product by the Registrant initially can be generally handled through the Registrant's distribution/marketing network of associated companies (see MARKETING OF THE REGISTRANT'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES), the Registrant's Producer's Representatives, television syndicators and all other established customary channels used by independent producers and production companies. The Registrant's distribution/ marketing network of associated companies is comprised of a wide variety of domestic and foreign film distributors and television syndicators, all of which have extensive backgrounds of experience and knowledge in specific areas of marketing and distribution of film and television product including domestic film distribution, foreign film distribution, domestic television syndication, foreign television syndication, domestic home video distribution, foreign home video distribution, and domestic and international satellite broadcast. The Registrant's producer's representative, in some cases, acts as a liaison between the Registrant and the above referred distribution network relative to specific contractual points of discussion for a particular transaction the Registrant may be contemplating for one of its product. (See page 15 & 16.) The principals of the Registrant have a proven record demonstrating their training and experience in high quality, cost controlled, moderately budgeted film/video productions and innovative marketing and distribution skills. Certain of these backgrounds include production and marketing experience at both large studios and small independent companies. The combined number of motion pictures and television productions the production and marketing personnel of the Registrant have been instrumentally involved with encompass over 100 productions. The production and marketing team is expert in the use of the latest technological filming and video taping techniques, state of the art equipment, and administrative control, i.e., experienced budget and production/distribution cost supervision and distribution capabilities. Certain of the technological expertise and/or equipment that is used by the Registrant's professional personnel include platform releasing (e.g., THE RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT, Tri Star Pictures, in excess of $30 million in gross revenue worldwide; PULP FICTION, Miramax, in excess of $100 million in gross revenue worldwide; THE POSTMAN (in current release), Miramax, in excess of $15 million in gross revenue worldwide), "regional break releasing", "test market releasing"; Panavision, Kodak, Arroflex, and Nikkagami camera equipment in 16, Super 16 and 35mm gauge format; Avid, Protools, and Media 100 post production and editorial equipment for film and video; Keylight lighting equipment; and DHX, DAK and Nagomi sound equipment. (See pages 29 through 36.) The principals of the Registrant have developed, produced, distributed and consulted on a wide variety of feature films, documentaries, docudramas, short subjects, television productions and industrial motion pictures. They and/or their productions have earned a wide variety of many national and international film/television production awards including, as an example: Emmy awards (David Toma/CBS Movie-of-the-Week, BABIES HAVING BABIES), Emmy nominations, Drummer awards (former executive vice president and current advisor Henry Barth/wide variety of industrial and training films), gold/silver and bronze medals from various international film festivals (George Lindsey/New York and Chicago Film Festivals for docudramas and documentaries), Academy awards and academy award nominations (Charles Newirth/feature film FORREST GUMP) and Academy award nominations (Fred Baron/feature film ROBOCOP)(John R. Woodward/feature film THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) (for additional information refer to ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS biographical information). The Registrant and its principals have entered into various ongoing agreements and arrangements relative to the consultancy, production, financing and distribution of motion picture or television projects. Many of the agreements and arrangements contain provisions which could result in revenue to the Registrant (refer to Exhibits 10.1 through 10.11). Although a significant part of the Registrant's historical operations has been devoted to developing and consummating these agreements and arrangements with a wide variety of companies and individuals within the entertainment industry, the potential revenue resulting from such agreements and arrangements has not been shown as receivables or assets on the financial statements. Potential revenue from the above referred-to ongoing agreements and arrangements can be acquired by the Registrant utilizing general and more specific markets and technologies, which in the opinion of the Registrant's management, will also increase in scope and size. As indicated by a wide variety of industry publications including Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, current trends indicate that these future markets and expanding technologies, such as the increase in the deregulation of the European television industry and 100+ channel global satellite television programming, will extend for a lengthy period of time. In the opinion of the Registrant, these future markets and expanding technologies will continue to promote further new ways to exploit film and television entertainment product; i.e., with mass appeal increasing as specific technological industries such as high definition television, CD-Rom, and expanded internet communications. Full and complete exploitation of these agreements and arrangements by the Registrant will require the acquisition of additional working capital, which the Registrant is anticipating to achieve through financial offerings and/or other traditionally used methods of capital acquisitions by small and midsize companies. (See Exhibits 10.1 through 10.11, 10.23) Since its creation in July of 1977, the Registrant's management continuously researches data, updates pertinent technical information, and has subsequently implemented procedures regarding the production of and consultancy for moderately budgeted feature film (production budgets of approximately $250,000 to $5,000,000) and television projects produced on a continual flow of product basis. (Management of the Registrant define "continual flow of product" as the production of motion picture and television product produced on an overlapping production basis; ie., 3 weeks into 4 weeks of post production for production "A", principal photography on Production "B" begins; and 3 weeks into 4 weeks of principal photography on Production "B", pre-production on Production "C" begins.) It is the Registrant's opinion that following this production process will help to ensure a "continual flow of product" for the marketing and distribution of product by the Registrant and subsequently help to ensure and increase a continuous revenue stream. The above formula is the basis for the Registrant's profit making strategy. It is the opinion of management that such strategy has a high percentage of opportunity for success. The full realization of profits from the Registrant's strategic preparations is dependent on the acquisition of additional capital. The following transactions represent the most significant potentially revenue-producing arrangements relative to motion picture and television production, co-production, marketing, consulting and acquisitions the Registrant has entered into to date. (bullet) DOCUMENTARY/DOCUDRAMA/SCREENPLAY ACQUISITION AND MARKETING On March 18, 1981, the Registrant acquired G.L. Productions, Inc. ("GLP") of Washington, D.C. and all of its facilities and productions including twenty-eight 30 and 60-minute documentaries and docudramas and 42 completed/registered screen and teleplays ("product")(see Exhibit 2.1). Certain titles include RHOUTES TO GYANA featuring Leonard Nimoy, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY MAYBE feature Barbara Walters; and THE LOST ANCIENT CITIES OF TOPAN AND TIKAL featuring Brock Peters. The Registrant and GLP have entered into various television syndication and public broadcast agreements since the acquisition of the product relative to the marketing and exploitation of the product. According to the terms of the acquisition, the Registrant retains 100% of any potential producer's gross revenue percentage accruing to the Registrant from any and all marketing and exploitation of the product worldwide in perpetuity. (bullet) SCREENPLAY/TELEPLAY ACQUISITION On November 28, 1983, the Registrant entered into an acquisition agreement (Agreement) with Paul Alex Productions of Huntington Beach, CA for the purpose of acquiring all right, title and interest in 12 completed screenplays and teleplays ("product")(see Exhibit 10.1).

According to the terms of the Agreement the Registrant retains 50% of any of the potential producer's net revenue percentage accruing to the Registrant from any and all marketing and exploitation of the product worldwide in perpetuity. (bullet) TELEVISION CO-PRODUCTION On April 11, 1990, the Registrant entered into a co-production agreement ("Agreement") with Pacific Film Group of Los Angeles, CA for the purpose of co-producing and distributing three 30-minute television productions entitled HOLLYWOOD HOTTEST STUNTS, THE REAL GODFATHERS, and THRILLS, CHILLS AND SPILLS ("product")(see Exhibit 10.4). The three independently hosted productions were distributed by distributor, Myntex Corporation and Handleman Company, in a "video sell-through" arrangement throughout the United States and Canada. According to the terms of the Agreement the Registrant retains 3% of any potential producer's gross revenue percentage accruing to the Registrant from any and all marketing and exploitation of the product worldwide in perpetuity. (bullet) FEATURE FILM ACQUISITION On September 6, 1990, the Registrant through an acquisition agreement ("Agreement") with Tagerick Films of Los Angeles, CA acquired all right, title and interest in the feature length motion picture entitled TERROR ON SHADOW MOUNTAIN ("product")(see Exhibit 10.5) starring Richard Groat and Bill Smith.

The business of the company is to provide relief staffing of healthcare professionals such as Registered Nurses, Licensed Vocational Nurses and Nurse Practitioners for healthcare institutions including hospitals, clinics, nursing care facilities, hospices, retirement and convalescent homes and temporary personnel for private patients. (See Management's Discussion & Analysis, Page 21.)(/STRIKEOUT) * For the past three years, the Registrant has been in the process of reviewing and analyzing various potential corporate acquisitions and merger possibilities, certain of which are highly diversified such as (STRIKEOUT)in the case of the(/STRIKEOUT) medical services (STRIKEOUT)company referred to above(/STRIKEOUT). Management of the Registrant has had indepth internal discussions concerning the risks, requirements, potential and overall viability of associating with a highly diversified business. In the opinion of the Registrant's management, so long as the diversified business maintains serious potential revenue producing capability, management expertise for sustaining such ongoing revenue potential, clarity of mission statement and objectives, and cash flow potential which could be used in the development of the Registrant's core business, management of the Registrant will encourage such mergers and acquisitions, investigations and possibilities for the express purpose of increasing, overall, shareholder value of the Registrant. (STRIKEOUT)Further, in the specific case of the medical services company, management of the Registrant has been familiar with management of the medical services company for more than ten years and subsequently knowledgeable of and confident in their ability to function and grow using appropriate business acumen in the process.(/STRIKEOUT) In addition to the quantitative aspects of the Registrant's diversification decisions, the articles, bylaws and corporate charter of the Registrant provide for flexibility in the Registrant's ability to explore and enter into diversified fields of enterprise. MARKETING OF THE REGISTRANT'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The combined experiences of the Registrant's management and companies in its distribution network creates a strong marketing position for the Registrant. Marketing outlets and techniques which have been successfully utilized for the Registrant's products or services in the past and/or which will be utilized in the future either domestically or in foreign territories include: THEATRICAL EXHIBITION, HOME VIDEO SALES, HOME VIDEO RENTAL, BROADCAST (NETWORK) TELEVISION, SYNDICATED TELEVISION, CABLE TELEVISION, LOW POWER (LP) REGIONAL TELEVISION, PUBLIC BROADCAST (PBS) TELEVISION, AND ANCILLARY PRODUCT MERCHANDISING (ancillary product merchandising includes revenues created from non-theatrical or non-broadcast exploitation such as merchandising of t-shirts, toys, books and music). All or some of these outlets are customarily incorporated into a marketing strategy on either a regional, national, or international exposure basis with quality, genre public appeal, and rating, all being factors. The Registrant's network of (strikeout) affiliated (/strikeout) marketing and distribution companies includes independent and major industry leaders such as UNITED ARTISTS INC. (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes foreign and domestic theatrical exhibition of feature film product), MIRAMAX FILMS INC. (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes domestic theatrical exhibition of feature film product), MGM/UA INC. (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes foreign and domestic theatrical exhibition of feature film product), CINETRUST Entertainment Co. (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes foreign and domestic broadcast, television and home video exhibition of feature film and television product), TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes foreign and domestic theatrical exhibition of feature film product), SHAPIRO GLICKENHAUS ENTERTAINMENT (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes foreign and domestic broadcast, television and home video exhibition of feature film and television product), PARAGON CABLE TELEVISION (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes regional cable broadcast of television product), CENTURY CABLE TELEVISION (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes regional cable broadcast of television product), MNTEX CORPORATION (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes sell-thru specialty video product) and the HANDLEMAN COMPANY (relationship between the Registrant and the company includes sell-thru specialty video product). Primary expected revenue sources include but are not limited to: THEATRICAL EXPLOITATION - An average of approximately 60% of theatrical revenue within the industry as a whole is derived from the North American market with respect to English language films. The balance comes from overseas outlets with the most significant being Japan, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Australia. The importance of the overseas market is once again on the incline due to the decrease in the value of the dollar. Foreign markets will be responsible for 60% of the total box office revenue in the near future. The Registrant has acquired immaterial revenue at this time from theatrical exhibition for the feature film product known as MOVIES, MONEY AND MURDER aka BREAKING UP WITH PAUL. (Further exploitation of this product by the Registrant will require additional working capital.) According to Richard Fay of AMC Theater circuit, the second largest exhibitor of feature length motion picture product in the world, there is currently a building boom occurring among exhibitors with the number of screens in the United States beginning to increase in the 1980's by 7.4% to more than 20,300. It is the Registrant's opinion that, due to a widely known increase in public consumption in, and desire for more feature filmed entertainment domestically along with the increased desire by foreign markets for United States produced feature film entertainment, this trend of expansion for the number of screens in both the United States and foreign territories will continue throughout this decade and well into the next century. The exhibitors or movie theater owners generally retain an average of 50% of the box office receipts as their fee and remit the other 50% frequently referred to as "domestic theatrical film rentals" to the film's distributor. Home video advances for feature films range from $100,000 to more than $5,000,000 plus escalators based upon such variables as box office performance, print and advertising expenditures and the number of screens secured during theatrical release. CABLE TV, PAY TV, DBS, AND MATV EXPLOITATION - Pay television has shown tremendous growth over the past decade. The market leaders, past and present, have been Home Box Office (HBO), Cinemax, and Showtime/The Movie Channel. These pay television services have recently exhibited over 300 films per year. Of the approximately $20 (basic) per month that a pay television subscriber pays to a cable company, about $10 is returned to the pay television service and in turn, $3 to $6 is returned to the distributor. Distributors, on exclusive multi-picture deals, have been able to command prices of $3 to $8 million per film. On a non-exclusive basis, prices range from $1 to $2 million per film where the film has achieved average success. Certain of the Registrant's film library are shown periodically on cable television (see Page 17 in Management Discussion and Analysis). A relatively new area of exhibition is pay-per-view. At present, there are approximately 12 million homes equipped to receive the service and that number is expected to increase to 30 million by the end of the decade. Prices generally charged for pay-per-view are $10 per show to the consumer, of which about 60% is being returned to the distributor. The expanding growth in this area will continue to be a major new revenue source for film distribution. MATV (Master Antenna Television) systems available in North America produce an additional though relatively small revenue source for films and DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) is beginning to make serious inroads, primarily in Europe in those countries where residential cable service is not readily available. The Registrant has acquired immaterial revenue at this time from cable television, pay television, DBS and MATV for the feature film projects entitled HOLLYWOOD HEARTBREAK, SWEET JUSTICE, COUGAR JUNCTION, and television production specials entitled KJ COUNTRY, specialty videos entitled THRILLS, CHILLS & SPILLS; THE REAL GODFATHERS; HOLLYWOOD'S HOTTEST STUNTS, and fifteen public domain classic feature film productions. (Further exploitation of this product by the Registrant will require additional working capital.) NETWORK TELEVISION EXPLOITATION - The broadcast television industry in North America is dominated by three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC. With the recent development of Fox Broadcasting in addition, the network's generally license 75 to 150 theatrical films annually and commission approximately 125 made-for-television movies (MOWs) from independent producers such as the Registrant. In addition, they broadcast over 100 hours of miniseries. American and foreign television networks are still very significant buyers of feature films. In the United States they have become less aggressive than the pay television companies in their pricing policies. The price range for multiple broadcast of a film is between $1 million and $5 million. Exceptional films may command substantially higher prices. The Registrant has acquired immaterial revenue at this time from network television exploitation for the feature film product known as Sweet Justice. (Further exploitation of this product by the Registrant will require additional working capital.) SYNDICATED TELEVISION EXPLOITATION - Revenue from rights granted to individual independent television stations (of which there are over 250 in North America), has increased in recent years as the number (over 300 in U.S./Canada) and financial strength of local stations has increased. These stations usually described as the "syndication market" and often loosely associated for product buying purposes now rival the traditional standard (broadcast) television networks in competing for viewers. As the core of their programming, these stations use syndicated (after network) television series and feature length films. The Registrant has acquired immaterial revenue at this time from syndicated television exploitation for the television production special known as KJ COUNTRY. (Further exploitation of this product by the Registrant will require additional working capital.) OTHER REVENUE - i.) Non-theatrical revenue results from a film project being made available to airlines, schools, public libraries, community groups, ships at sea, prisons, and bases for the military forces. ii.) Ancillary markets such as the rights to use the images of characters in a picture for merchandising purposes in connection with video games, toys, t-shirts, posters, and like paraphernalia. iii.) Revenue may also be realized from the novelization of the screenplay and other related publications, music used in pictures sold as soundtracks, records, CDs, cassettes, and mechanical performance and sheet music publication. The Registrant has acquired no revenues at this time from these particular sources of non-theatrical, television, or ancillary markets. The Registrant has participated in a variety of the preceding type marketing and distribution arrangements over the past fifteen years. The Registrant's major effort has been focused on syndication of television product and regional broadcast of television product in the state of California. As previously referenced, in order to further expedite and create revenue from marketing and distribution efforts of the Registrant and its distributor network, the Registrant requires significant additional working capital to more fully and properly exploit any appropriate markets and media while creating additional viable desire by the general public to acquire or consume this product. The Registrant's future plans include financial offerings and/or other customarily used methods of capital acquisition by small and midsize companies, including debt or equity financing or a combination of both, to acquire certain of this additionally needed working capital. THE REGISTRANT'S COMPETITION IN THE MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION INDUSTRY The motion picture and television industry is highly competitive. Management of the Registrant believes that a picture's theatrical success is dependent upon general public acceptance, marketing technology, advertising and the quality of the production. The Registrant's motion picture and television productions compete with numerous independent and foreign productions as well as productions produced and distributed by a number of major domestic companies, many of which are units of conglomerate corporations with assets and resources substantially greater than the Registrant's. Management of the Registrant believes that in recent years there has been an increase in competition in virtually all facets of the Registrant's business. The motion picture industry itself competes with television and other forms of leisure-time entertainment. The growth of pay television and the use of home video products may have an effect upon theater attendance and non-theatrical motion picture distribution. Since the Registrant may distribute product to all of these markets, it is not possible to determine how its business as a whole will be affected by these developments and accordingly, the resultant impact on the financial statements. Obtaining motion pictures for distribution and the distribution of motion pictures are highly competitive endeavors. In the distribution of motion pictures, there is very active competition to obtain bookings of pictures in theaters and on television networks and stations throughout the world. A number of major motion picture companies have acquired motion picture theaters. Such acquisitions may have an adverse effect on the Registrant's distribution operation, endeavors, and its ability to book certain theaters, which, due to their prestige, size and quality of facilities, are deemed to be especially desirable for motion picture bookings. In producing and distributing television programs, competition is intense because the number of available broadcast hours is limited, other forms of programming compete to fill such time and there are numerous suppliers of such programming, including the networks, other motion picture companies and independent producers. Management believes that the decision by the networks, individual television stations and cable systems to license a motion picture is based primarily on the quality of the picture, its appropriateness for a general television audience, its box office and critical success and, if the picture has previously been shown on television, audience response as measured by ratings. The Registrant's ability to compete in certain foreign territories with either film or television product is affected by local restrictions and quotas. In certain countries, local governments require that a minimum percentage of locally produced productions be broadcast, thereby further reducing available time for exhibition of the product. DEPENDENCE ON A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS The Registrant and its affiliated companies, due to the diversification of interests as discussed supra, are not dependent on a few major production successes or customers. Although the Registrant has and will continue to utilize the services of a number of well-known performers and technicians, the Registrant's diversification is such that the loss of any one such professional would not be a material matter that would seriously adversely affect the Registrant's business operations. THE REGISTRANT'S FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Registrant has currently been negotiating with various broker-dealer investment banking firms to underwrite public offerings of the Registrant's securities in the total amount of $7,000,000. Terms of the proposed public offerings have not been finalized but it is anticipated by management that the Registrant will utilize the net proceeds from such offering in the following general manner. $ 700,000 administrative expenses 300,000 development expenses 3,000,000 production expenses 1,250,000 acquisition expenses 1,750,000 marketing expenses $7,000,000 Total The Registrant intends to further resolve and provide for its liquidity needs as well as provide for the needed capital resources to expand its operations through private placements on a project-by- project basis in limited partnership form. To meet the Registrant's interim liquidity and capital resources needs while the Registrant's proposed future public offering and private placement offerings are being prepared and examined, the Registrant, in addition to short term borrowings, is presently contemplating further sales of its unregistered common equity to accredited investors under one or more exemptions that provide for the same. EMPLOYEES The Registrant presently has under contract eight officially elected officers of the Registrant, one fulltime and two part-time assistants. Certain of the contracts have provisions that are contingent upon the acquisition of substantial working capital by the Registrant. Accordingly, certain of the officers do not devote their full time to the business of the Registrant. FULL AND PARTTIME EMPLOYEES INVOLVED IN MOTION PICTURE AND/OR TELEVISION DEVELOPMENT PRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS NUMBER BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 5-60 DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS IN PROCESS, THE COMPLEXITY OF A PARTICULAR PROJECT, AND PRODUCTION AND/OR MARKETING TIMETABLES. EMPLOYEES INVOLVED IN THE HEALTHCARE SUBSIDIARY CURRENTLY NUMBER APPROXIMATELY 25 YEAR ROUND. THE EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR SUBSIDIARY ONLY USES PERSONNEL WHEN PRESENTING A SEMINAR OR SIMILAR EVENT AT WHICH TIME APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION PLAN OF OPERATION The revenue competition relative to existing or pending exploitation agreements of the Registrant's motion picture and television product library and current and future production and distribution projects is volatile due to the many technological and innovative changes in the industry and also the change in the international economy. The generation of revenue in the motion picture and television industry is highly competitive and may have a material impact on the Registrant's financial statements. Management believes that a motion picture or television production's economic success is dependent upon several overlapping factors including general public appetite at the time of release, marketing philosophy and applicable usage of existing technology, advertising strategy with resultant penetration and the overall quality of the production. The Registrant's motion picture and television productions may compete for sales with numerous independent and foreign productions as well as productions produced and distributed by a number of major domestic companies, many of which are units of conglomerate corporations with assets and resources substantially greater than the Registrant's. Management of the Registrant believes that in recent years there has been an increase in competition in virtually all facets of the Registrant's business. Specifically, the motion picture industry competes with television and other forms of leisure-time entertainment. Since the Registrant may for certain undetermined markets and products distribute its product to all markets and media worldwide, it is not possible to determine how its business as a whole will be affected by these developments and accordingly, the resultant impact on the financial statements. The Registrant has currently obtained the investment capital to produce and distribute at least two full length feature motion pictures within the next two years. In addition to the development, financing, production, and distribution of motion pictures, the Registrant expects to continue to exploit a portion or portions of the Company's motion picture library to commercial television and home video marketing and sales. Specifically, live action motion pictures are generally licensed for broadcast on commercial television following distribution to theatrical outlets (theaters), home video and pay television. Licensing to commercial television is generally accomplished pursuant to agreements which allow a fixed number of telecasts over a prescribed period of time for a specified license fee. Television license fees vary widely, from several thousand to millions of dollars depending on the motion picture, the number of times it may be broadcast, whether it is licensed to a network or a local station and, with respect to local stations, whether the agreement provides for prime-time or off-time telecasting. Licensing to domestic and foreign television stations (syndication) is an important potential source of revenue for the Registrant, although in recent years the prices obtainable for individual films in domestic syndication have declined as pay television licensing has grown. The growth of pay television and home video technologies has had an adverse effect on the fees obtainable from the licensing of films to networks and local television stations. Thereby potentially effecting the Registrant's ability to generate substantive revenue from this particular venue. Conversely, the Registrant may derive revenue from the marketing and sale, either directly or through licensees, of motion pictures and other filmed product on videocassette for playback on a television set through the use of videocassette recorders ("VCRs") and continued advancements of pay television (cable) and satellite broadcast technologies, domestically and internationally. The Registrant currently holds the distribution rights to 241 motion picture and television titles. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes. (See Item 15. Financial Statements). In fiscal 1995 and 1996 the Registrant continued its involvement in a variety of feature film and television projects relative to development, acquisitions, packaging, production and marketing/distribution activities. The Registrant also continued to pursue potential diversified business opportunities that have cash flow possibilities. In order to finance its operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Registrant utilized revenue from licensing fees, loans, proceeds from the private sale of equity securities, deferred compensation, profit participation, and equity in exchange for services and product. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission "Regulation D", and subject to Rule 144 restrictions, the Registrant issued 386,500 shares of common stock and 0 shares of preferred stock in 1995 for cash and 973,000 shares of common stock and 0 shares of preferred stock for product and services. In 1996, the Registrant issued 114,790 shares of common stock and 0 shares of preferred stock for cash and 521,507 shares of common stock and 15,000 shares of preferred stock for product and services acquired by or provided to the Registrant. Further, in 1994, the Registrant entered into a loan agreement with Huntington National Bank whereby the Registrant obtained a letter of credit in the aggregate maximum amount of $50,000. The letter of credit was for a period of 12 months and the agreement expired in February, 1995. The Registrant did not find it necessary to borrow under that agreement. This credit arrangement remains available to the registrant under the same above terms and conditions. (See Exhibit 99.0). The Registrant uses its primary business loan ($50,000) line of credit provided by Wells Fargo Bank for current cash flow needs and occasionally its credit lines at other financial institutions, and with its suppliers. The Registrant's principal liquidity at yearend 1995 included cash of $12,298 and net accounts receivable of $1,500, and at yearend 1996 cash of $196,318 and net accounts receivable of $1,500. After a review of the financial statements at yearend 1994 adjusting entries to the statements were made to reflect a writeoff of some of the accounts receivable in light of their age and apparent uncollectibility. The Registrant's liquidity position has remained sufficient enough to support on-going general administrative expense, pilot programs, strategic position, and the garnering of contracts, relationships and film and television product for addition to the Registrant's library, and the financing, packaging, development and production of two feature films. Although the Registrant during 1995 and 1996 experienced revenue, unless the Registrant has an influx of additional capital, the Registrant will not be able to accomplish its planned objectives and revenue projections. Accordingly, the Registrant intends to resolve and provide for its liquidity needs as well as provide for the needed capital resources to expand its operations through a future proposed public offering of its common shares to the public. It is anticipated that such an offering will commence within the next 24 months for an amount to be determined by the Registrant and underwriter(s). To meet the Registrant's interim liquidity and capital resources needs while the Registrant's contemplated public offering is being prepared and examined, the Registrant is presently investigating the possibilities of future loans and is considering future sales of unregistered common equity to accredited investors under one or more exemptions that provide for the same. In the event a loan is obtained, one of the terms may provide that the same be repaid from the proceeds derived from the Registrant's contemplated public offering. A primary use of public offering proceeds would be the further exploitation of the Registrant's current film, television library, participations in completed films, and the continued development, production and marketing/distribution of new film and television production opportunities. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Registrant has presented a consolidated balance sheet which includes five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Environmental Services Corporation, World Wide Films Inc., World Wide Productions Inc., World Wide Film & Television Institute, and World Wide Medical Services Ltd. The Registrant's charter allows it to branch into diversified fields of enterprise provided management concludes there is a significant potential for profit. It is the decision of management to continue the major portion of the Registrant's operations in the motion picture and television industry, but since the primary business objective of the Registrant is to increase the value of its stockholders' equity, if and when opportunities arise to make profits for the corporation in a diversified industry, the Registrant shall investigate and pursue such opportunities. The Registrant's motion picture and television participation strategy has been to expend its resources and to set in place relationships and contracts in preparation for the continued development, acquisitions, production and/or marketing/distribution of quality moderate budget feature length motion pictures and television productions. The strategy additionally includes the acquisition of screenplays and teleplays suitable for development and completed motion pictures and television projects for licensing and marketing/distribution opportunities for all applicable sales territories throughout the world. At such time that the above-referred to additional working capital is secured, it is the Registrant's opinion that substantial revenue will be generated by the existing film and television library and future distribution of potential new product, ultimately realizing its projected return on investment. Arrangements for participation by the Registrant in various feature film and television productions for the last 24-month period include gross and net revenue participations in one feature film and two television productions ranging between 2-60% of worldwide revenue potential including all markets and all media that the particular production is distributed in. These arrangements include a feature length film entitled CITIZEN SOLDIER originally produced by M&D Productions, purchased by the Registrant in 1995 and providing a 60% gross revenue participation to the Registrant in perpetuity. Also, in 1995, the Registrant purchased thirty-seven feature film submaster (videotape) prints from Stanley Pappas providing 20% of any gross revenue of the product in perpetuity and the television productions entitled TIPS FOR BETTER HEALTH and MARKET PLACES OF THE WORLD, both owned and produced by Pacific Pictures and providing 5% gross revenue co-production participation to the Registrant in perpetuity. Additionally in 1995, the Registrant licensed to Media One Broadcasting for $71,000 and 40% of net revenue the right to telecast four feature motion pictures and seventeen television productions which the Registrant owns as part of its library. In 1996 the Registrant licensed to Whitman Productions twenty feature films and television productions for $75,000 and 40% of net revenue for the right to telecast and exploit those productions which the Registrant owns as part of its library. In 1995 and 1996, certain other film and television participations of the Registrant included development and packaging arrangements, the Registrant's review and in certain cases, advice and counsel on screenplays and screenplay development scenarios for the subsequent possible packaging and production and distribution of a particular project. The most significant of these productions, their production companies, and percentage of future gross revenue allocated to the Registrant, were THE EXCHANGE STUDENT offered by production company Loon Star Film Partners (20%); and BLOOD PASSION offered by production company Risk Productions (20%); CHOICE offered by production company Best Pictures Inc. (50%); and ALONG FOR THE RIDE offered by production company Wittman Productions Inc. (50%). In 1997 and 1998, the Registrant expects to complete two full length feature films produced for theatrical and video worldwide exploitation. Both productions will be entirely under the responsibility, control and ownership of the Registrant.

Accordingly, certain of the officers do not devote their full-time to the business of the Registrant. ** Indicates - Certain members of the board of directors who are not officers of the Registrant receive a mutually agreeable amount of restricted Rule 144 common stock of the Registrant for each board meeting that they attend and are also periodically reimbursed for the travel expenses incurred, if any, to attend such meetings. *** Indicates - The President and Chief Executive Officer has waived his accumulated back salary of $3,080,000. Also, he has agreed to waive his current salary indefinitely as long as the Registrant does not have sufficient funds on hand. In return he has agreed to also accept common stock, or preferred convertible stock of the Registrant at $.10 per share equivalent or mutually agreeable stock options in lieu of cash, at the Registrant's discretion, except in the event of a merger or takeover of the Registrant in which he descents. ARRANGEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS As indicated above, there are certain arrangements or understandings regarding compensation for services provided by a director including additional consideration payable for special assignments. Each of the directors and/or executive officers of the Registrant has an understanding with the Registrant regarding compensation by the Registrant as an (STRIKEOUT)affiliate(STRIKEOUT) officer of the Registrant either in terms of duties, which will be rendered on behalf of the Registrant or in their capacity as an independent (STRIKEOUT)affiliate(STRIKEOUT) associate or as an (STRIKEOUT)affiliate(STRIKEOUT) associate of one of the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Registrant has evaluated the experience and reputation of its directors and allocated compensation of common stock accordingly. Executive officers of the Registrant maintain various terms and conditions relative to compensation in their specific employment contracts (refer to Exhibit 10.14 thru 10.22). ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS As of this filing, there have been and are presently no transactions to which the Registrant was or is to be a party in which any of the directors, executive officers or immediate family members thereof have been a party to. It is contemplated, however, that in certain instances directors, executive officers, or immediate family members thereof will be a party to future transactions. ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As of December 31, 1996, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which the Registrant was a party or to which any of its assets was subject. However, the Registrant is currently in negotiations for the reimbursement of 8 film and television videotape and 35mm film master copies of feature length motion picture and television productions owned by the Registrant and maintained at a film and video storage facility. The Registrant's attorneys are preparing litigation and related processes in the event the results of the negotiations are unsatisfactory. The Registrant is seeking damages in the amount of $397,500 for the loss of its "stored material". ITEM 9. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY From December 1983, the date upon which present management took control of the National Power Corporation, there has been a thin range of trading occurring with the Registrant's common shares in the Over-the-Counter market. The Registrant's common stock is presently traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) market through primarily inter-dealer trades. The Registrant's history of trading includes both pink sheets and NASD's Electronic Bulletin Board system. The most recent availability for open trading of the Registrant's common shares was during fiscal 1992 when the Registrant was traded on the over-the-counter market on the NASD's Electronic Bulletin Board system under the NQB symbol of "WWMP". Since that time in 1992 there has been only inter-dealer trades. Inasmuch as the last open trading for the Registrant's stock occurred more than 4 years ago, there is no current data to support a range of sales activity with either high or low bid information. SECURITY HOLDERS As of December 31, 1996, the latest practicable date for which information is available, the Registrant had approximately 756 holders of record of the Registrant's common equity. However, based upon its proxy solicitation procedures for the last year's annual meeting of stockholders and institutional holdings, the Registrant believes it has more than 1,000 beneficial owners of its common stock. DIVIDENDS There have been no cash dividends declared or paid since the inception of the Registrant, and no dividends are contemplated to be paid in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Registrant and will depend on the Registrant's earnings, its capital requirements and financial condition and other relevant factors. ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES The Registrant has had various sales of unregistered securities. Sales of unregistered securities have accumulated due to transactions wherein proceeds were used for working capital, facilitating the normal course of business of the Registrant. In issuing unregistered shares, the Registrant relied on the exemption from registration provisions as promulgated under Rule 3(b) and further under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, for issuer transactions not involving a public offering, as these transactions did not involve a "distribution" and did not fall within the definition of "underwriter" as those terms are defined under the Act. Principals of each transaction were aware that they were taking the shares for investment purposes and not with the view to distributing the same and further represented that they were aware of the restricted nature of the securities and that the same could not be transferred or resold absent a Registration Statement, in effect for the same or an exemption therefrom, or otherwise sold in reliance on Rule 144. Proceeds from all sales of unregistered securities referred to above have been used for working capital. None of the proceeds has been used to compensate officers or directors of the Registrant. Pursuant to the above, the Registrant has issued in the last three years an aggregate of 1,790,674 unregistered common shares to certain management persons of the Registrant or its subsidiaries or persons associated with the Registrant on a contract basis, each of whom file the requisite forms where applicable. ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES The authorized capital stock of the Registrant consists of 100,000,000 common voting shares, par value $.001 per share. As of December 31, 1996 there were 46,099,092 common shares issued and outstanding. The Registrant has also authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred non-voting stock at par value $.01 per share and 100,000 shares of preferred non-voting stock at par value $10.00 per share. As of the Registrant's yearend, December 31, 1996, there were 85,217 $.01 preferred shares issued and outstanding and 20,000 $10.00 preferred shares issued and outstanding. </TABLE> [Download Table] RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES - COMMON (SB ITEM 701) DATE NAME TITLE AMOUNT PRICE CASH PD.

Olson Common 20,000 $0.05 $1,000 DIVIDEND RIGHTS Holders of shares of common voting stock of the Registrant are entitled to receive, out of funds legally available, such dividends as may be declared by the Registrant's Board of Directors. The Registrant, as of the date hereof, cannot forecast with any certainty, when and if any dividends will be paid, although the Registrant does not anticipate paying any dividends prior to its year ended December 31, 1996 or in the foreseeable future. VOTING RIGHTS Holders of shares of the common voting stock are entitled to one (1) vote per outstanding share held on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. Each holder may exercise such vote either in person or by a properly executed proxy. Holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding, present in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum for shareholders meetings. Except with respect to amending the Articles of Incorporation, which requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the Registrant's shares issued and outstanding, other matters to be acted upon by shareholders at any meeting of the shareholders require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders voting in person or by proxy, provided a quorum, as defined above, is established. The holders of the common stock of the Registrant are not entitled to cumulative voting in election of Directors, and shareholders are denied any preemptive rights. Certain extraordinary matters require more than a majority vote as explained under "Miscellaneous" below. LIQUIDATION RIGHTS In the event of any distribution of all of the assets of the Registrant, upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Registrant, voluntary or involuntary, after payment of the full preferential amounts to which the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled, the holders of the Common Stock are ratably entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Registrant in proportion to the number of shares held by them respectively. If the assets distributable in respect thereof are less than the amount necessary to pay the holders of the Preferred Stock the full preferential amount thereof, then the entire assets are to be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock, of any and all series then outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full preferential amounts to which they are respectively entitled. MISCELLANEOUS The common stock of the Registrant has no conversion, subscription, or sinking fund rights. All shares when issued, are fully paid, non-assessable and not liable to further calls or assessments. Except as set forth below in the last subparagraph of Section (10) Article III of the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of 60% of all classes of stock of the Registrant entitled to vote in elections of directors, considered for the purposes of that Section (10) as one class, are required to (a) for the adoption of any agreement for the merger or consolidation of the Registrant with or into any other Affiliated Entity (as defined below); or (b) to authorize any liquidating distribution, sale, lease, exchange, mortgage or pledge or other disposition of all or any substantial part of the assets of the Registrant to any Affiliated Entity; or (c) to authorize any transfer, sale lease, exchange, mortgage or pledge or other disposition of all or any substantial part of the assets of the Registrant to any Affiliated Entity; or (d) to authorize any transfer, sale or lease by an Affiliated Entity to the Registrant or any subsidiary thereof in exchange for cash, securities or other assets (except cash, securities or other assets having an aggregate fair market value of less than $2,000,000). Such affirmative vote or consent required by that Section shall be in addition to the vote or consent of the holders of the stock of the Registrant otherwise required by law or any agreement between the Registrant and any national securities exchange. For the purposes of that Section, the term "Affiliated Entity" means any corporation, person or other entity that, as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice thereof and to vote thereon or consent thereto, is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of stock of the Registrant entitled to vote in elections of directors (considered for the purposes of that Section (10) as one class). For the purposes of that Section (10): (A) any corporation, person or other entity is deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares of the capital stock of the Registrant, (i) which it has the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; or (ii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including shares deemed owned through application of clause (i) above), by any other corporation, person or entity which is its "affiliate" or "associate" as those terms are defined in Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or (iii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly (including shares deemed owned through application of clause (9) above) by any other corporation, person or entity with which it or its "affiliate" or "associate" (as defined above) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of stock of the Registrant; and (B) the outstanding shares of any class of stock of the Registrant shall include shares deemed owned through application of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above but shall not include any other shares which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise. The Board of Directors has the power and duty to determine for the purposes of that Section (10), on the basis of information known to the Registrant, whether: (i) such other corporation, person or other entity beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of stock of the Registrant entitled to vote in elections of directors and therefore is an Affiliated Entity for purposes of this Section; (ii) a corporation, person or entity is an "affiliate" or "associate" (as defined above) of another; (iii) the cash, securities or assets being transferred by the Registrant, or any subsidiary thereof, have an aggregate fair market value of less than $2,000,000; and (iv) the memorandum of understanding referred to below is substantially consistent with the transaction covered thereby. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of that Section (10).

DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF THE BUSINESS. The Company was founded in July 1977 and incorporated December 9, 1980. In March 1981, the Company acquired G.L. Productions Inc. The acquisition was a production and distribution company for short subjects, docudramas, documentaries and industrial films, many of which were made in conjunction with the U.S. Government. The Company acquired the entire film and television library and related film production equipment. The transaction was facilitated by the exchange of two million (2,000,000) shares of the Company's common stock for 100% of the common stock of the acquisition. The Company has also acquired other motion picture and television productions and acquired marketing/distribution interest in additional motion picture and television productions. The Company's total library of live action motion pictures and videotaped productions consists of 273 projects of various lengths and subject matter. In November 1983 the Company merged with the National Power Corporation, a public corporation. The National Power Corporation's common stock was traded on the over-the-counter market with registered broker/dealers throughout the United States making a market in its stock. The merger process resulted in a change in the Company's number of shares issued, outstanding, and authorized and a change in par value. The Company operates several wholly-owned subsidiaries, five of which are currently active, to facilitate the operation of its core business and diversified enterprises. The Company has an active Board of Directors which currently consists of seventeen members with staggered terms, all of whom are either chairperson or a member of one or more of the four board designated committees: executive, finance, audit, and personnel. The Company also maintains four operating committees including production and product development, special projects, minorities and standards. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Because the commercial potential of individual motion pictures and television programming varies dramatically, and does not bear any relationship to their production or acquisition costs, it is impossible to predict or project a trend of the Company's income or loss. However, the likelihood of the Company reporting losses in the short term is increased by the industry's method of accounting which requires the immediate recognition of the entire loss (through increased amortization) in instances where a motion picture or television program produced is not expected to recover the Company's investment. On the other hand, the profit from a successful motion picture or television program is deferred and recognized over the entire period that revenues are generated by that motion picture or television program. This method of accounting may also result in significant fluctuations in reported income or loss, particularly on a quarterly basis, depending on the Company's release schedule and the performance of individual motion pictures or television programs. A significant portion of the Company's assets was purchased with the issuance of shares of its common and preferred stock. Sixteen million one hundred eighteen thousand and sixty one dollars ($16,118,061) of the assets is represented by its completed film and television library. In the absence of a consistent market for the securities issued, the value of the films was agreed to by the sellers and the purchaser in arms length transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards and additionally, internal evaluation and auditing procedures. The films and television productions in the library have uncertain future revenues that may be expected to grow or diminish along with all of the ancillary markets. In some cases, individual films or television productions may be timeless and irreplaceable, in many cases their book value is almost nil having been amortized based on revenues received several years ago and the inability to estimate a market value or reasonable expected revenue. The film and television inventory of the Company is regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Company's management. Complicated accounting principles make it difficult to discern exactly the value of the Company's film and television library as carried on its balance sheet; the value may be buried among films currently in release, television productions currently in broadcast, future films and television productions under production or development, and the ubiquitous "other". Forecasting any film's future revenues is a difficult and uncertain art, even for major film distributors and television syndicators. The accounting principles in these areas leave unusual discretion with the film company executives and often result in "unusual" changes in individual periods. There is no generally accepted standard for valuing motion picture and television inventory, film and television projects in process, distribution/syndication contracts, participation agreements, and performer and production related contracts. FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 53, paragraph "Inventory Valuation", states "16. Unamortized production and exploitation costs shall be compared with 'net realizable value' for each reporting period on a film-by-film basis;" and in the paragraph "Net Realizable Value" it states, "Net Realizable Value is the estimated selling price (rental value) in the ordinary course of business less estimated cost to complete and exploit in a manner consistent with realization of that income". The accounting profession is currently reviewing the problem of "how to fairly report film inventory on financial statements". Although the Company has on its Board of Directors and professional staff personnel qualified to estimate the value of its film and television inventory for internal verification purposes, it retained the services of an independent appraiser who reviewed the Company's film and television library. The net result of this appraisal did not materially affect the Company's balance sheet. The Company is continually negotiating with various potential lessors of portions of the film and television library for the implementation of exploitation possibilities. The results of such negotiations may materially affect the asset section of the Company's balance sheet. The value of the film and television inventory is based on regular review and re-evaluation by the Company's management. Full exploitation of the Company's investment in its film inventory is dependent on the acquisition of additional capital. The Company depreciates each film or television program starting with its specific exploitation. In years prior to fiscal 1994, the Company did not charge a provision for depreciation to expense for equipment because the cost of the depreciable assets was considered to be immaterial in relation to the financial statements. In 1994, the Company began to provide for such depreciation on a straight line basis with asset lives ranging from 7-10 years. Prior accounting periods were not adjusted due to immateriality. The financial statements as of December 31, 1995, and for the year then ended have been restated to increase depreciation on assets of films which were exploited in 1995. For the year 1995, depreciation expense was increased from $5,786 to $240,707. NOTE 3 - TAXES The Company presents its tax returns on an accrual basis. Certain state and local tax filings may differ from the federal returns to take advantage of beneficial local tax law. At December 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries have sustained a cumulative operating loss and may offset this loss against future taxable income. The Company does not expect to utilize the accelerated depreciation option available under the U.S. Tax Code. NOTE 4 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As of December 31, 1996, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company was a party or to which any of its assets was subject. However, the Company is currently in negotiations for the reimbursement of lost material which consists of eight videotape and 35mm film submaster copies of feature length motion picture and television productions, owned by the Company and maintained at a post production film and video facility. The Company's attorneys are preparing litigation and related processes in the event the results of the negotiations are unsatisfactory. The Company is seeking damages in the amount of $397,500 for the loss of its "stored material". NOTE 5 - SUMMARY OF CORPORATE SECURITIES MATTERS AND STOCK ISSUANCE. Since November 1983, the Company's shares of common stock have traded on the over-the-counter market. The Company is currently a Rule 144 Regulation D publicly-held corporation. The Company's NQB (National Quotations Bureau) call symbol is WWMP and its Standard & Poor's Cusip no. is 981536 10 5. The Company has advised its stockholders and the public it expects to apply for NASDAQ quotation and/or quotations on other exchanges. The Company's common stock is thinly traded at this printing. The Company has previously been quoted on the OTC (Over-The-Counter) Electronic Bulletin Board. The Company's most recent active primary marketmaker went into bankruptcy resulting in the Company's temporary removal from quotation. The Company is also currently in the process of filing its Registration Statement on Form 10SB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, the Company files annual, periodic, and current reports required pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and it is anticipated that substantial trading will not commence until the Commission has reached the "no comment" stage of the filing process.

The Company operates several wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain of these subsidiary corporations are used to each produce individual motion pictures or television productions. Currently, three of the motion picture production subsidiary corporations are active. World Wide Productions, Inc., for the purpose of producing the motion picture tentatively entitled "Along for the Ride"; World Wide Entertainment, Inc., for the purpose of producing a special television production; and World Wide Films Inc., which has just completed the production of the feature film SHATTERED ILLUSION starring Morgan Fairchild, Bruce Weitz, Richard Lynch and Dan Monahan. The Company operates two diversified subsidiaries; one which is related to the Company's core industry, World Wide Film and Television Institute Inc. The Institute's business is the development, production, marketing, and implementation of educational symposiums, workshops, lectures and forums in areas covering the entertainment industry, specifically film and television financing, packaging, production, marketing/distribution, and the politicial/networking process that accompanies the entertainment business. Revenue is created primarily from the sale of tickets to these events. Primary symposiums are generally held annually and are designed to accommodate 250 to 1000 people per event. Workshops are held in between the primary symposiums designed to accommodate a maximum of 15 individuals. The symposium and workshop events are further designed to be duplicated in major cities around the country. The Company has entered into a diversified business of providing medical home health care and providing temporary nursing staff to hospitals and various other health care institutions through its subsidiary World Wide Medical Services Ltd. NOTE 7 - SUMMARY OF STOCK OPTIONS, EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, ASSOCIATES, POTENTIAL DILUTION, CONTINGENT LIABILITY AND ACCRUED PROFESSIONAL FEES. The Company has provisions for the issuance of options to purchase shares of its common lettered stock and certain of its preferred stock issued has conversion provisions wherein the holder may convert his/her preferred shares to common lettered stock under certain conditions. There are 105,217 shares of preferred stock outstanding that is potentially convertible to shares of common, dependent upon the market price of the common stock. The Company has entered into agreements to issue its common lettered stock for certain goods and services and arrangements beneficial to the ongoing activities of the Company. Further, various employee contracts, non-exclusive associates agreements, and service or purchase contracts contain provisions for stock issuance. The Company expects to continue to enter into such agreements subject to all applicable securities law. The potential contingent dilution from the issuance of the above stock is 9,498,340 shares. The Company had an unpaid contingent salary liability to its President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul D. Hancock. Mr. Hancock has waived this accumulated back salary of $3,080,000. The accrued professional fees of $269,191 have been waived by the providers of service and accounted for as contributed capital. NOTE 8 - NOTES PAYABLE, LETTER OF CREDIT The note holder holding the note comprising the long-term debt has agreed to waive payment until such time that the Company has sufficient working capital to accomplish its objectives. The Company was issued a standby irrevocable Letter of Credit from the Huntington Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, in the amount of fifty thousand ($50,000). The terms of the Huntington Bank Letter of Credit require that, if utilized, the Company will pledge as collateral a portion of its film and television library. If the Letter of Credit is exercised, the resultant loan will be secured by a commensurate portion of the Company's film and television library. The Huntington Bank terms also provide that the Company will continue to be able to sell or lease any portion of the library as long as it retains sufficient material to secure any loans made as a result of the Letter of Credit. This credit arrangement expired in February 1995 and remains available to the company under the same above terms and conditions. The Company currently utilizes a fifty thousand dollar ($50,000) line of credit with the Wells Fargo Bank of California to accommodate its daily cash flow needs and occasionally its credit lines at other financial institutions and with its suppliers.
