_________________________________________________
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS OF COMPANY (Proposal 1)
__________________________________________________
The Bylaws of the Company provide that the number
of directors shall be eighteen (18) until changed
by an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
or by the Bylaws duly adopted by the Company's
shareholders. Pursuant to Section 3.2.3 of the
Bylaws, in order to be elected as a Director of
the Company, an individual must own at least one
share of the Common Stock of the Company. At the
Annual Meeting, eighteen (18) directors (the
entire Board of Directors) are to be elected to
serve until the next Annual Meeting of the
Shareholders or until their successors are elected
and qualified.
A shareholder may withhold authority for the proxy
holders to vote for any one or more of the
nominees identified below by so indicating on the
enclosed Proxy in the manner instructed on the
proxy. Unless authority to vote for the nominees
is so withheld, the proxy holders will vote the
proxies received by them for the election of the
nominees identified below as directors of the
Company. Proxy holders do not have an obligation
to vote for nominees not identified on the
preprinted card (that is, write-in candidates).
Should any shareholder attempt to "write in" a
vote for a nominee not identified on the
preprinted card (and described in these proxy
materials), the proxy holders will NOT vote the
shares represented by that proxy for any such
write-in candidate, but will instead vote the
shares for any and all other validly indicated
candidates. If any of the nominees should be
unable or decline to serve, which is not now
anticipated, the proxy holders shall have
discretionary authority to vote for a substitute
who shall be designated by the present Board of
Directors to fill the vacancy. In the event that
additional persons are nominated for election as
directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all of
the proxies received by them in such a manner, in
accordance with cumulative voting, as will assure
the election of as many of the nominees identified
below as possible. In such event, the specific
nominees to be voted for will be determined by the
proxy holders, in their sole discretion.
None of the directors or executive officers of the
Company were selected pursuant to any arrangement
or understanding between themselves and any other
individual (other than arrangements or
understandings with directors or officers acting
solely in their capacities as such). There is no
familial relationship among any of the directors,
executive officers of the Company, or the nominees
for such offices, and except as noted below, none
serves as directors of any company which has a
class of securities registered under, or which is
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any
investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
VOTING RIGHTS -- CUMULATIVE VOTING
All voting rights are vested in the holders of the
common stock of the Company, each share being
entitled to one vote, except with respect to the
election of directors, as to which cumulative
voting applies as described below.
California law provides that a shareholder of a
California corporation, or his proxy, may cumulate
votes in the election of Directors. That is, each
shareholder may cast that number of votes equal to
the number of shares owned by him, multiplied by
the number of Directors to be elected, and he may
cumulate such votes for a single candidate or
distribute such votes among as many candidates as
he deems appropriate.
Certain affirmative steps must be taken by the
shareholders of the Company in order to be
entitled to vote their shares cumulatively in the
election of Directors. At the shareholders'
meeting at which Directors are to be elected, no
shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes
(i.e., cast for any one or more candidates a
number of votes greater than the number of the
shareholder's shares) unless the candidates' names
have been placed in nomination prior to the
commencement of the voting and at least one
shareholder has given notice prior to commencement
of the voting of the shareholder's intention to
cumulate votes. If any shareholder has given such
notice, then every shareholder entitled to vote
may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination
and give one candidate a number of votes equal to
the number of Directors to be elected multiplied
by the number of votes to which that shareholder's
shares are entitled, or distribute the
shareholder's votes on the same principle among
any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder
thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest
number of votes, up to the number of Directors to
be elected, shall be elected.
It is intended that shares represented by proxies
in the accompanying form will be voted for the
election of persons nominated by management.
Although the Board of Directors does not know
whether there will be any nominations for
directors other than those nominated by
management, as set forth below, if any such
nomination is made, or if votes are cast for any
candidates other than those nominated by the Board
of Directors, the persons authorized to vote
shares represented by executed proxies in the
enclosed form (if authority to vote for the
election of Directors or for any particular
nominee is not withheld) will have full discretion
and authority to vote cumulatively and allocate
votes among any or all of the nominees of the
Board of Directors in such order and in such
numbers as they may determine in their sole
discretion, provided all the above-listed
requirements are met.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The following Audit Committee Report does not
constitute soliciting material and should not be
deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any
other Company filings under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Securities Act of 1934, except to the
extent we specifically incorporate this Report by
reference.

Directors and is responsible for overseeing and
monitoring financial accounting and reporting, the
system of internal controls established by
management and the audit process of Pismo Coast
Village.
The Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board
sets out responsibilities, authority and specific
duties of the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit
Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy
Statement as Appendix A.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements with management.
The Audit Committee has discussed with
representatives of independent auditors, Glenn,
Burdette, Phillips and Bryson matters required by
SAS 61 regulations.
The Audit Committee has received the written

The Internal Revenue Service is conducting an
audit of the Corporation's taxable year ended
September 30, 1999. In that audit, the Internal

either (a) shareholders of the Corporation should

equal to the value of the shareholder's free usage
of sites at the Corporation's property pursuant to
Section 9.4 of the Corporation's Bylaws, or,
alternatively, (b) the Corporation's expenses
associated with such "free" usage should be
disallowed for income tax purposes. The
Corporation is contesting these issues in the
audit, and it currently is not possible to project
with certainty what the outcome of the audit will
be.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Directors receive no compensation for serving on
the Board. Directors are permitted the use of a
recreational site at the Resort for each day of
board meetings and/or committee meetings during
their tenure as a member of the Board of
Directors. Directors also may be reimbursed for
traveling expenses related to such meetings at
reasonable rates. Executive officers, other than
officers who are employees, received no additional
compensation of any nature. Specifically, the
Chief Executive Officer (President) is not a
compensated employee. No employee received
compensation exceeding $100,000 during the last
fiscal year of the Company.
The Company has no outstanding options, warrants
or rights to purchase any of its securities,
whether held by Directors, officers or any other
persons. Nor does the Company have any outstanding
loans or other indebtedness to any Director or
officer. Since the beginning of the fiscal year,
the Company has not entered into nor does it
propose to enter into any transactions of a
material nature with any officer or director or
any corporation or other business entity in which
any officer or director may have an economic
interest.
_________________________________________________
SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS (Proposal 2)
_________________________________________________
The firm of Glenn, Burdette, Phillips and Bryson
served as independent certified public accountants
for the Company for its fiscal year ended
September 30, 2002, and this firm has been
selected to serve as the Company's accountants for
Fiscal Year 2003. It is expected that one or more
representatives of Glenn, Burdette, Phillips and
Bryson will be present at the Meeting, will be
given the opportunity to make a statement, if
desired, and will be available to respond to all
appropriate questions.
Audit services performed by Glenn, Burdette,
Phillips and Bryson for the year ended September
30, 2002, consisted of examination of the
financial statements of the Company, certain
services related to filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and consultation on
matters related to accounting and financial
reporting. In addition to these services, Glenn,
Burdette, Phillips and Bryson performed certain
non-audit services consisting primarily of
consultation on matters relating to the
preparation of tax returns. All such services were
approved by the Board of Directors, which has
determined the firm of Glenn, Burdette, Phillips
and Bryson to be fully independent of the
operations of the Company.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FEES
Audit Fees. Glenn, Burdette, Phillips & Bryson
("GBPB"), the Company's auditors during the just
ended fiscal year, billed the Company an aggregate
of $13,000 for professional services rendered by
GBPB in connection with their audit of the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2002. In addition, GBPB has
billed the Company an aggregate of $7,500 for
their review of the Company's quarterly reports on
Form 10-QSB during fiscal 2002 (that is, for the
periods ended 6/30/02, 3/31/02 and 12/31/01
respectively).
Financial Information Systems Design and
Implementation. During fiscal 2002, GBPB, LLP did
not directly or indirectly, operate, or supervise
the operation of, the Company's information
systems or manage the Company's local area
network. Nor did GBPB design or implement a
hardware or software system that aggregates source
data underlying the financial statements of the
Company or generates information that is
significant to the Company's financial statements
taken as a whole.
All Other Fees. GBPB billed the Company an
additional $4,320 for professional services
rendered during fiscal 2002 for services not
otherwise described above. All other fees relate
to services traditionally provided by auditors,
including work performed in connection with income
tax services were compatible with GBPB's
independence.
The Company's Audit Committee has not separately
considered whether the non-audit services rendered
by GBPB during fiscal 2002, as described under the
caption "All Other Fees" above, are compatible or
incompatible with GBPB's independence; but the
Audit Committee has reviewed all audit work done
by GBPB and their fees as a whole, and the Company
believes that GBPB's services and fees are
incompatible with their independence as auditors.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company Board of Directors recommends that the
shareholders approve the selection of Glenn,
Burdette, Phillips and Bryson to serve as
certified independent public accountants for the
Company for Fiscal Year 2003. The affirmative vote
of a majority of shares voted will be required to
approve this action.
