VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There were issued and outstanding 1,800 shares of the Company's
common stock on December 1, 2005, which has been fixed as the
record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting (the "Record
Date"). Each holder of the Company's common stock will be
entitled to one vote, in person or by Proxy, for each share of
common stock held of record on the books of the Company as of the
Record Date, on any matter submitted to the vote of the
shareholders, except in the election of Directors, where
cumulative voting is permitted. See "Cumulative Voting" on page 3
hereof.
The presence in person or by Proxy of the holders of 33.33% (one-
third) of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the

transacting business at the Meeting.
If the enclosed Proxy is completed in the appropriate spaces,

accordance with the recommendations of management. As to any
matters properly brought before the shareholders at the Meeting
which are not specifically described on the proxy, all duly
signed, dated and returned proxies will be voted in accordance
with the recommendations of management in such matters.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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/her 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/her, multiplied
by the number of Directors to be elected, and he/she may cumulate
such votes for a single candidate or distribute such votes among
as many candidates as he/she 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.

Committee whose task it is to actively seek out and consider
potential candidates for office on the Board of Directors. The
Nominating Committee does not have a formal charter, but operates
under the direction and authority of the Board as a whole,
pursuant to Committee Procedures adopted by the Board.
Director Nominations: The Nominating Committee will consider as
a candidate any existing director of the Company who has
indicated to the Nominating Committee that he or she is willing
to stand for reelection, as well as any other interested
shareholder who provides the required information and displays
the qualifications and skills to effectively represent the best
interests of all shareholders within the specified time
requirements. Under no circumstances will the Nominating
Committee evaluate any nominee pursuant to a process
substantially different than that used for the other nominees for
the same election or appointment of directors. Shareholder
recommendations are treated identically with all other candidate
recommendations.
The Nominating Committee solicits director candidates by word-of-
mouth and through the Corporate Newsletter. The candidates are
interviewed by two or more members of the Nominating Committee,
who then compile a list from which future candidates may be
chosen for board member nominees. In addition, the Nominating
Committee reviews the attendance and contributions of the present
seated board members. After completing this evaluation, a list of
eighteen potential nominees is selected and presented to the full
board for approval and placed on the proxy card for the annual
election.
Independence of Nominating Committee: Of the three directors
serving on the Nominating Committee during 2005, Ronald Nunlist,
William Fischer and Norman Gould, Messrs. Fischer and Gould are
deemed "independent" directors, pursuant to standards of
independence promulgated by the NASD [NASD Rule 4200(a)(15)]. Mr.
Nunlist is not deemed independent, by reason of his uncompensated
service as an executive officer of the Company.
Nominees Proposed by Committee: The Nominating Committee
recommended for nomination each of the candidates described
above. Each of those nominees were prior directors standing for
reelection and approved for inclusion on the recommended slate of
director nominees at the Board of Directors' meeting held
November 12, 2005.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (Proposal 2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As reported by the Company on Form 8-K dated July 5, 2005, the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors selected the firm of
Brown Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck & Keeter Accountancy
("Brown Armstrong") Corporation to replace the firm of Glenn,
Burdette, Phillips, and Bryson ("GBPB"). The firm of Brown
Armstrong served as independent certified public accountants for
the Company for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, and
this firm has been selected to serve as the Company's accountants
for Fiscal Year 2006. It is expected that one or more
representatives of Brown Armstrong 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 Brown Armstrong for the year ended
September 30, 2005, 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. All such
services were approved by the Board of Directors, which has
determined the firm of Brown Armstrong to be fully independent of
the operations of the Company.
Audit Fees. As a result of two firms performing the
responsibilities of independent auditor during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2005, payments were dispersed to GBPB and
Brown Armstrong. The Company's auditors (Brown Armstrong) for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 billed the Company an
aggregate of $25,000 for professional services rendered in
connection with their audit of the Company's financial
statements. The Company also paid Brown Armstrong $3,000 for
their review of the quarterly report for the period ending
6/30/05. In addition, GBPB billed the Company an aggregate of
$14,000 for their review of the Company's quarterly reports on
Form 10-QSB ending 12/31/04 and 3/31/05 during fiscal year 2005.
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation. During
fiscal 2005, GPBP and Brown Armstrong 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 or Brown Armstrong 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 $3,815 for
professional services rendered during fiscal year 2005 for
services not otherwise described above. Brown Armstrong billed
the company an additional $14,599 for professional services
rendered during fiscal 2005 for services not otherwise described
above. All other fees related to services traditionally provided
by auditors, including work performed in connection with income
tax services, were compatible with GBPB's and Brown Armstrong's
independence.
All audit related services, tax services and other services were
pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the
provision of such services by Brown Armstrong were compatible
with the maintenance of that firm's independence in the conduct
of its auditing function.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders
approve the selection of Brown Armstrong Paulden McCown Starbuck
& Keeter Accountancy Corporation to serve as certified
independent public accountants for the Company for Fiscal Year
2006. The affirmative vote of a majority of shares voted will be
required to approve this action.
