-----------------------------------------------------------------
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There were issued and outstanding 1,800 shares of the Company's
common stock on December 3, 2007, 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
Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the purpose of
transacting business at the Meeting.
If the enclosed Proxy is completed in the appropriate spaces,
signed, dated and returned, the Proxy will be voted as specified
in the Proxy. If no specification is made as to any individual
matter to be acted upon, on a signed, dated and returned Proxy,
it will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders and in
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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

THE COMPANY'S DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS PROCESS
Nominating Committee: The Company has a standing Nominating
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 four directors
serving on the Nominating Committee during 2007, Louis Benedict,
Douglas Eudaly, Ed Figueroa, and William Fischer, Messrs.
Benedict, Eudaly, Figueroa and Fischer are all deemed
"independent" directors, pursuant to standards of independence
promulgated by the NASD [NASD Rule 4200(a)(15)].
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 10, 2007.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The only standing committees of the Company during 2007 were the
Nominating Committee, Audit Committee, Personnel and Compensation
Committee, Finance Committee, Operations Committee,
Environmental, Health and Safety Advisory Committee, and the
Executive Committee.
The Nominating Committee, which considers the qualifications and
the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, was
elected at a meeting of the Board of Directors held January 20,
2007, and consisted of the following members: William Fischer,
Chairperson, Louis Benedict, Douglas Eudaly and Ed Figueroa.
Pursuant to the policies and procedures adopted by the Board of
Directors, the Nominating Committee considers nominees
recommended by shareholders. The Nominating Committee met five
times during 2007 and submitted its recommendations for
nominations at the upcoming Annual Meeting.
Individuals wishing to be considered as nominees for membership
on the Board of Directors for Fiscal Year 2009, or wishing to
nominate an individual for membership on the Board, are requested
to notify the committee in writing, delivered to the principal
office of the Company. The Nominating Committee will deliver, or
will cause to be delivered to a potential nominee, material for
use by the potential nominee in submitting specific data,
including personal history and professional skills. The resume, a
questionnaire, and a statement by or on behalf of a potential
nominee should be submitted on or before September 1, 2008, in
order to be considered by the Committee.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consisted of Glenn
Hickman, Chairman, Harry Buchaklian, Ed Figueroa, Norman Gould

include coordinating with the Company's independent accountants

selected accounting procedures of the Company. The Audit
Committee met five times during 2007.
Independence of Audit Committee: Of the five directors serving on
the Audit Committee during 2007, listed above, all except Glenn
Hickman, the Chairman, are deemed "independent" directors,
pursuant to standards of independence promulgated by the NASD
[NASD Rule 4200(a)(15)]. Mr. Hickman is not deemed independent,
by reason of his uncompensated service as an executive officer of
the Company.
The Personnel and Compensation Committee consists of Jerald
Pettibone, Chair, Kurt Brittain, Ed Figueroa, Terris Hughes, Jack
Williams and Charles Zahka. Committee member Charles Zahka
retired from the Board on September 30, 2007, and his seat
remained vacant for the remainder of the year. The functions of
the Personnel and Compensation Committee include negotiating an
employment contract with the Chief Executive Officer/General
Manager, review of his goals and objectives and setting
compensation for major staff. The Committee met five times during
2007.
The Finance Committee consisted of Jack Williams, Chairman, Louis
Benedict, Nancy Brady, Gary Willems and Charles Zahka. Committee
member Charles Zahka retired from the Board on September 30,
2007, and his seat on this committee remained vacant for the
remainder of the year. The functions of the Finance Committee
include reviewing the Company's financial statements, drafting a
three-year forecast of finances, drafting a one-year budget,
prioritizing capital expenditures, monitoring the completion of
capitalized projects, recommending changes in rate schedules, and
submitting an annual report to the shareholders of the financial
condition of the Corporation. The Finance Committee met five
times during 2007.
The Operations Committee consists of Ronald Nunlist, Chairman,
Louis Benedict, Douglas Eudaly, Norman Gould, Dennis Hearne, and
George Pappi, Jr. The functions of the Operations Committee
include reviewing and recommending changes in the Shareholders'
Information Manual and Calendar, reviewing and recommending
changes in the Resort's occupancy rules and regulations, updating

implementing Board policy and procedures. The Operations
Committee met five times during 2007.
The Environmental, Health and Safety Advisory Committee consisted
of R. Elaine Harris, Chairman, Harry Buchaklian, and Dennis
Hearne. The functions of the Environmental, Health and Safety
Advisory Committee include performing environmental-related
duties, safety reviews, and giving recommendations to the
President and Chief Executive Officer/General Manager on matters
relative to environmental and safety concerns. The Environmental,
Health and Safety Advisory Committee met five times during 2007.
The Executive Committee consists of Jerald Pettibone, Chairman,
Glenn Hickman, Kurt Brittain, Ronald Nunlist, and Jack Williams.
The functions of the Executive Committee include reviewing the
monthly business with the Chief Executive Officer/General
Manager, as well as the current financial statement. The
Executive Committee met three times during 2007.
The full Board of Directors met six times during 2007. One
director, Charles Zahka, attended fewer than 75% of the total
number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of which he
is a member.
Although Board members are not required to attend the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders as a matter of policy, directors
regularly attend the Annual Meeting unless personal circumstances
do not so permit. With the exception of Mr. Enns who was
appointed to the Board at the Board meeting held November 10,
2007, all incumbent directors attended last year's Annual Meeting
of Shareholders.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the
material elements of compensation for the executive officer
identified in the Summary Compensation Table contained above.
As more fully described below, the Personnel Compensation
Committee, made up of members of the Board of Directors, reviews
the total direct compensation programs for the CEO.
Notably the salary and other benefits payable to the named
executive officer are set forth in an employment agreement which
is discussed below.
The CEO reviews the base salary, annual bonus and long-term
compensation levels for other employees of the Company. The
Personnel and Compensation Committee reviews and approves the
compensation received by the CEO's direct reports. The entire
Board of Directors remains responsible for significant changes to
or adoption of new employee benefit plans.
a. CASH COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The named executive officer receives a base salary payable in
accordance with the company's normal payroll practices and
pursuant to a contract between this officer and Pismo Coast
Village, Inc. (which contract is described in more detail below).
Based on knowledge of the industry and Pismo Coast Village, Inc.
performance (including its earnings and stock price performance,
and successful resort operations), the Board believes that the
CEO's base salary is less than those that are received by
comparable officers with comparable responsibilities in similar
companies.
In the future, when reconsidering salaries for executives, the
Board will do so by evaluating their responsibilities, experience
and the competitive marketplace. More specifically, the Board
expects to consider the following factors in determining the
executive officers' base salaries:
* The executive's leadership and operational performance and
potential to enhance long-term value to the Company's
shareholders;
* Performance compared to the financial, operational and
strategic goals established for the Company;
* The nature, scope and level of the executive's
responsibilities;
* Competitive market compensation paid by other companies for
similar positions, experience and performance levels; and
* The executive's current salary, the appropriate balance between
incentives for long-term and short-term performance.
b. STOCK OPTION PLAN BENEFITS
Not applicable.
c. ELEMENTS OF "ALL OTHER COMPENSATION"
The amounts reflected in the column labeled "other compensation"
in the above Summary Compensation Table consist of compensation
paid to the named executive officer from benefits received from
our 401(k) plan.
The Company provides a 401(k) Safe Harbor Plan which was adopted
effective October 1, 2005. All employees are eligible to
participate in this Plan after one year of employment and work at
least 1,000 hours per year and attained age 21. Employees are
fully vested when their participation begins. The Company matches
employee contributions up to 4% of compensation.
d. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Company has entered into an employment agreement with the
named executive officer. The material terms of this agreement is
summarized as follows:
Mr. Jamison is the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager,
Assistant Corporate Secretary. On October 1, 2003, the Company
entered into an employment contract with Mr. Jamison. The Board
of Directors extended this contract through September 30, 2008
and provided Mr. Jamison with a salary increase effective October
1, 2007. This currently provides for a salary of $121,800, plus
health insurance, cost reimbursement, and certain other benefits.
Pismo Coast Village may also terminate the contract for cause,
upon Mr. Jamison's death or disability, or without cause. If
Pismo Coast Village terminates the contract for cause, it only
must compensate Mr. Jamison through the date of termination. If
Pismo Coast Village terminates the contract without cause, Pismo
Coast Village must pay Mr. Jamison nine months salary.
STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS GRANTED DURING THE
LAST FISCAL YEAR
Not applicable.
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLANS
Except as described in our 401(k) plan, the Company did not have
a long-term incentive plan during the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2007 or 2006.
REPORT ON RE-PRICING OF OPTIONS/SARS
Not applicable.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
During fiscal year 2007 none of the Company's directors received
cash remuneration for their service. However, the directors are
entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company, and mileage reimbursement for
travel to and from meetings upon request. Since this
reimbursement is on a fully accountable basis, there is no
portion treated as compensation. In addition, they are entitled
to use of the Resort for attending meetings and are provided with
food and refreshments in connection with Board Meetings. The
aggregate value of the foregoing during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2007, was estimated at $25,203.
OPTIONS, WARRANTS OR RIGHTS
The Company has no outstanding options, warrants or rights to
purchase any of its securities.
INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT
No member of management was indebted to the Company during it's
last fiscal year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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 Thornburgh & 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, 2007, and this firm has been selected to serve as the
Company's accountants for Fiscal Year 2008.
Audit services performed by Brown Armstrong for the year ended
September 30, 2007, 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.
(1) AUDIT FEES
The Company's auditor (Brown Armstrong), for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2007, billed the Company an aggregate of
$22,959 for professional services rendered in connection with
their audit of the Company's financial statements. The Company
also paid Brown Armstrong $10,500 for their review of the
quarterly report for the periods ending 12/31/06, 3/31/07, and
6/30/07. In addition, GBPB billed the Company an aggregate of
$22,193 for their compilation of the Company's quarterly
financial statements ending 12/31/06, 3/31/07, and 6/30/07,
during Fiscal Year 2007.
The Company's auditor (Brown Armstrong), for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2006, billed the Company an aggregate of
$27,735 for professional services rendered in connection with
their audit of the Company's financial statements. The Company
also paid Brown Armstrong $9,000 for their review of the
quarterly report for the periods ending 12/31/05. 3/31/06 and
6/30/06. In addition, GBPB billed the Company an aggregate of
$14,260 for their compilation of the Company's quarterly
financial statements ending 12/31/05 and 3/31/06, and 6/30/06
during Fiscal Year 2006.
(2) AUDIT-RELATED FEES
The Company paid no audit-related fees for services reasonably
related to performance of the audit or review of the Company's
financial statements for the fiscal years ending September 30,
2007 and September 30, 2006.
(3) TAX FEES
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid
GBPB $5,115 for tax fees consisting of tax planning, consulting,
and tax return review.
(4) ALL OTHER FEES
GBPB billed the Company an additional $950 for professional
services rendered during Fiscal Year 2007 for services not
otherwise described above. Brown Armstrong billed the Company an
additional $2,200 for professional services rendered during
Fiscal 2007 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.
(5) AUDIT COMMITTEE'S PREAPPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
For the fiscal years ending September 30, 2007 and September 30,
2006, 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 and GBPB were
compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence in
the conduct of its auditing function.

Thornburgh & Keeter Accountancy Corporation to serve as certified
