BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors has held one meeting during the last fiscal year. One of the directors, Scott Turner did not attend this meeting, and as a result, he attended less than 75% of the meetings during the year.

Audit Committee Report
The Board of Directors has not adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001 with management and with Moores Rowland, the Company's independent public accountants for that year. The Audit Committee has also discussed with Moores Rowland the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications).
The Audit Committee also received from Moores Rowland the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with them their independence from the Company. Additionally, the Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided to the Company by Moores Rowland are compatible with the independence of Moores Rowland.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee, and therefore the Board of Directors (as they are one and the same), recommended that the December 31, 2001 audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2002.
Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board:
Alfred Lam, on behalf of the Board:

The Company has agreed to pay Mr. Lam a salary of $50,000 for the year ending December 31, 2002.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Please see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2002, for details regarding the Company's financial information. A copy of the report is incorporated herewith as Exhibit A.
PROPOSALS FOR STOCKHOLDER VOTE
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
A board of five (5) directors is to be elected at the Meeting. The nominees are the three current members of the Board, Alfred Lam, Scott Turner and Louisa Chan, as well as two other person who have been serving the Company as executive officer, Henrik M. Christensen and Kaze Chan. It is not expected that any nominee will be unable or will decline to serve as a director. The term of office of each person elected as a director will continue until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified.
Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors
With respect to the election of directors, the five candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected to the Company's Board of Directors. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote withheld for the election of directors.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote for the persons listed above.
PROPOSAL TWO
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and recommends for shareholder approval, the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the maximum permissible number of directors from 5 to 9. At the meeting the shareholders are being asked to elect 5 directors. However, none of the nominees for positions on the board may be considered to be independent directors (i.e., persons who are not officers, employees or affiliates of the Company.) The Company anticipates that it may be required, or that it may find it desirable or beneficial in the future to appoint one or more independent directors to its board of directors. This may be necessary or appropriate in order to satisfy listing requirements for the NASDAQ Small Cap Market or another exchange on which theCompany seeks to have its shares listed for trading, or for other business reasons. Increasing the maximum number of directors who may be elected to the board is expected to be beneficial to the Company because it will enable the board to be expanded from 3 members to 5 members at this time, and it will also afford the flexibility of electing or appointing additional members in the future.
Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors
Approval of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented, in person or by proxy, and voting at the Meeting, which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum. In the event the shareholders do not approve the adoption of the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors will reconsider the amendment.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "for" approval of the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation
PROPOSAL THREE
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors has selected Moores Rowland, independent certified public accountants, to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending 2002. Moores Rowland has audited the Company's financial statements for each of the two previous fiscal years. No representative of Moores Rowland is expected to be present at the meeting.
Audit Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2001, Moores Rowland billed the Company approximately $30,980 for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for such period and for the review of the consolidated financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB during such period.
All Other Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2001, Moores Rowland billed the Company approximately $19,350 for tax and other non-audit services.
Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has conditioned its appointment of the Company's independent certified public accountants upon receipt of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented, in person or by proxy, and voting at the Meeting, which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required quorum. In the event the shareholders do not approve the selection of Moores Rowland, the Board of Directors will reconsider the appointment of the independent certified public accountants.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "for" this proposal.
