ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
TRANSACTION WITH MULTIMEDIA KID.
On August 25, 1999 Jenkon International, Inc. (the "Company") entered
into a non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") to acquire
Multimedia KID - Intelligence in Education Ltd., ("MMKid") an Israeli-based
interactive educational company.
If the transaction contemplated by the Letter of Intent (the
"Transaction") is consummated, the Company will issue to MMKid stockholders
an aggregate of (i) 840,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 1,208,000 shares of
a newly-created Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock and (iii) 1,208,000
shares of Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock will be convertible into an aggregate of 24,160,000 shares of
Company Common Stock and will have no voting or conversion rights unless and
until the stockholders of the Company have approved the grant of voting
rights to such shares. Upon such stockholder approval, the Series B and
Series C Preferred Stock will have voting rights on an as-converted basis and
will be convertible into Common Stock once certain agreed-to revenue targets
for MMKid have been achieved. Assuming all shares of Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock, former stockholders of MMKid
would hold approximately 83% of Jenkon's fully-diluted Common Stock.
The proposed Transaction is subject to certain contingencies, including
the execution by the parties of a definitive agreement and completion of a $4
million private placement by the Company to fund the operations of the
combined companies. The transaction is expected to close by mid-September
1999. In the event that Jenkon stockholder approval of the grant of voting
rights to the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock is not obtained on or
prior to February 28, 2000, the shares of Series B and Series C Preferred
Stock will be redeemable at the option of the holders thereof at a price of
$10 per share for a total redemption price of $24,160,000.
Upon consummation of the Transaction, the Company will promptly file a
registration statement with respect to not less than 6,600,000 shares of
Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock issued to the former MMKid
stockholders. In addition, the Company will grant the former MMKid
stockholders piggyback and demand registration rights with respect to Common
Stock underlying the Preferred Stock that is not registered as described
above. The demand registration rights shall be exercisable at any time
within 180 days following the date of Closing. Piggyback rights will be
exercisable commencing one year after the Closing. Notwithstanding the
registration of shares, MMKid stockholders will agree to 12 month lock-up
restrictions which shall apply to all shares other than the 6,600,000 shares
described above and shall terminate (i) at any time after the closing sales
price of Company Common Stock exceeds $6 per share for 20 consecutive trading
days, or (ii) at any time after the Company completes a public offering of
Common Stock for cash (other than upon exercise of outstanding options or
warrants).

UPDATE AS TO FINANCIAL CONDITION; LACK OF CAPITAL RESOURCES
As indicated in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, as a result of increased competitive pressures,
the Company has accelerated the development of its next generation management
information system. Because of this increased competitive pressure as well
as the development costs associated with the completion of the Company's next
generation product, the Company has experienced significant losses in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 which have continued in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000.
If the Transaction is completed as contemplated by the Letter of Intent,
the Company will receive an additional $4,000,000 in private placement equity
financing, $2,000,000 of which will be allocated to the Company's existing
business and completion of the development of the next generation product.
There can be no assurance that a financing transaction can be completed on a
timely basis or on terms that are favorable to the Company. Absent such
additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will have sufficient
capital to continue the development of the next generation product or to
continue its existing operations beyond September 30, 1999.
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGE
Philip Luizzo and Joe Albanese have been appointed to the Board of
Directors effective August 23, 1999 and Bill Daniher has resigned from the
Board of the Company effective August 11, 1999. Mr. Luizzo and Mr. Albanese
will serve on the Board's Audit Committee.
In addition, Robert Cavitt, currently Executive Vice President at the
Company, will be appointed President of Jenkon effective September 1, 1999.

Re: Acquisition
Gentlemen:
Jenkon International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("JNKN"), understands that
the shareholders listed in Schedule "A" ("Shareholders") to this letter of
intent ("Letter of Intent") own not less than 100 % of the outstanding
capital stock of Multimedia K.I.D. - Intelligence in Education, Ltd., an
Israeli corporation ("Multimedia K.I.D." or "MKID"). JNKN hereby proposes to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of Multimedia K.I.D. (the "MKID
Share(s)"), in a reorganization transaction ("Transaction") within the
meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (of the
United States), as amended (the "Code"), in which MKID shall become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of JNKN. The Transaction may call for the creation
of a new holding company under Section 253 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law to the extent that such holding company can be created
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The purpose of this letter of intent ("Letter of
Intent") is to confirm the intentions and understandings of the parties
hereto with respect to the Transaction upon the following terms and subject
to the following conditions:
1. THE TRANSACTION. JNKN will acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock
of Multimedia K.I.D. in exchange for stock in JNKN as hereinafter set
forth. Immediately upon the Merger, JNKN will change its name to
Multimedia K.I.D. or a derivative thereof. It is intended that the
Transaction shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and that the Reorganization Agreement (the
"Reorganization Agreement") shall constitute a "plan of reorganization"
under the Code.
2. TRANSACTION CONSIDERATION AND CERTAIN EXCHANGES.
(a) The consideration to be paid by JNKN for all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Multimedia K.I.D. (the "Purchase Price") shall be
(i) 840,000 shares of Common Stock of JNKN, par value $.001 per share
(each a "Common Share" and collectively, "Common Stock"), (ii)
1,208,000 shares of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock of JNKN, par
value $.001 per share ("Series B Preferred Stock") and (iii) 1,208,000
shares of Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock of JNKN, par value $.001
per share ("Series C Preferred Stock" and collectively with the Series
B Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock"). The sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the Transaction (the
"Closing"), plus the maximum number of shares issuable on conversion
of the Preferred Stock shall be 25,000,000, which is not less than 79%
of the total number of JNKN Common Shares which shall be issued and
outstanding Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior
to the Closing (exclusive of shares issued or to be issued upon
conversion of the convertible debt described in Section 8 of this
Letter of Intent). For the purposes of calculating fully diluted
shares under this Letter of Intent, the Preferred Stock shall be
taken into account as 24,160,000 Common Shares. The terms of the
Series B and Series C Preferred Stock shall be as described in this
Letter
1
<PAGE>
of Intent and in Exhibit 1 attached hereto. Promptly following the
execution of this Letter of Intent, JNKN shall cause a Certificate of
Designation setting for the rights preferences and privileges of
each of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock to be filed with
the Delaware Secretary of State (the "Certificates of Designation").
(b) The Certificates of Designation shall set forth milestones based on
financial performance which shall govern the convertibility of the
Preferred Stock. In no event shall the Preferred Stock be convertible
if the stockholders of JNKN have not approved such conversion
("Stockholder Approval"). Once Stockholder Approval is obtained,
the outstanding Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on all
shareholder matters with the Common Stock as a single class on an
as-converted basis. Upon Stockholder Approval, the Preferred Stock
shall convert automatically as and when relevant milestones set
forth in the Certificates of Determination have been achieved. In
no event shall more than 24,160,000 shares of Common Stock be
issuable upon conversion of all of the Preferred Stock. If
Stockholder Approval has not been obtained by February 28, 2000, or
such later date as holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock
shall agree, then all of the Preferred Stock shall be from time to
time redeemable at the option of the holders thereof whether or not
any milestones set forth in the Certificates of Designation have
been met. The redemption price shall be $10 per share of Preferred
Stock, subject to adjustment upon customary events specified in the
Certificates of Determination (e.g. stock splits, stock dividends
and other such events).
(c) Upon Stockholder Approval and satisfaction of any financial milestones
set forth in the Certificate of Designation, each share of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into 10 shares of
Common Stock. Once Stockholder Approval has been obtained, none of
the Series C Preferred Stock shall have any rights, preferences or
privileges whatsoever (other than voting rights) unless and until the
first calendar year (or part of a calendar year) in which revenues of
MKID (exclusive of JNKN revenues) are not less than $1,700,000 at
which time the Series C Preferred Stock shall have identical rights,
preferences and privileges to the Series B Preferred Stock. In the
event that such annual revenue target is not achieved by December 31,
2001, each and every share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
automatically cancelled with no further action on the part of the
holders thereof or JNKN.
(d) There are currently issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis
approximately 5,400,000 shares of JNKN Common Stock. The Common Stock
of JNKN is currently traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, and,
except for (i) warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common
Stock issued the underwriters of JNKN's initial public offering in
1998, (ii) warrants to purchase up to 117,321 shares of Common Stock
issued in connection with a 1998 private placement, (iii) warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 161,760 shares issued in connection with a
1996 private placement, and (iv) approximately 550,000 shares issuable
upon exercise of options granted under JNKN's Stock Option Plan, there
are no options, warrants or different classes of JNKN capital stock
currently outstanding.
3. LOCK-UP.
(a) Multimedia K.I.D. acknowledges that prior to the execution of a
Reorganization Agreement, JNKN will be expending substantial time,
effort and money to complete its due diligence of Multimedia K.I.D.,
and to negotiate a Reorganization Agreement. Multimedia K.I.D. hereby
agrees that, from the date hereof and until the earlier of (A)
September 30, 1999 or such later date as the parties may agree in
writing (the "Termination Date") or (B) the Closing, Multimedia
K.I.D. shall not, directly or indirectly through an agent or
representative, solicit, initiate or participate in discussions or
transactions with, or encourage or provide any information to, any
person, entity or group (other than JNKN and its designees and
agents) concerning the acquisition (whether by asset acquisition,
stock purchase, merger or otherwise) of Multimedia K.I.D. as a
going concern or of any significant portion of Multimedia K.I.D.'s
business or assets.
(b) JNKN acknowledges that prior to the execution of a Reorganization
Agreement , MKID will be expending substantial time, effort and money
to complete its due diligence of JNKN, and to negotiate a
Reorganization Agreement. JNKN agrees that, from the date hereof and
until the earlier of (A) the Termination Date or (B) the Closing, JNKN
shall not, directly or indirectly through an agent or
2
<PAGE>
representative, solicit, initiate or participate in discussions or
transactions with, or encourage or provide any information to, any
person, entity or group (other than Multimedia K.I.D. and its
designees and agents) concerning the acquisition (whether by asset
acquisition, stock purchase, merger or otherwise) of any company as
a going concern or of any significant portion of any such business
or assets.
4. CERTAIN OTHER UNDERSTANDINGS.
(a) It is contemplated that David Rubner shall agree to become
non-executive chairman of JNKN promptly after the date, if any, on
which JNKN stockholders approve the conversion of the Preferred
Stock, or at such other time as Mr. Rubner and JNKN shall mutually
agree.
(b) JNKN agrees to use its best reasonable efforts both prior to and after
the Closing to cause the cancellation of the personal guaranties which
have been issued to bank lenders in respect of Multimedia K.I.D.
indebtedness.
(c) The Closing will occur no later than December 1, 1999.
5. NEGOTIATION OF FINAL DOCUMENTATION; DUE DILIGENCE; SHAREHOLDER VOTE.
(a) JNKN and Multimedia K.I.D. will negotiate in good faith, and will use
their best efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable Reorganization
Agreement to be executed and delivered as soon as reasonably
practicable after the date of this Letter of Intent, but in no event
later than the Termination Date. The Reorganization Agreement shall
contain, in addition to the terms set forth herein, normal and
customary terms, conditions, covenants, agreements, representations,
warranties, indemnities and schedules for a transaction of this kind
and consistent with the terms of this Letter of Intent, including,
without limitation, representations and warranties as to (i) the
business, financial condition and capitalization of Multimedia K.I.D.
and JNKN, (ii) absence of any material change in Multimedia K.I.D.'s
or JNKN's business, financial condition and capitalization as of the
date hereof, (iii) environmental liability, (iv) ERISA; and, (v) the
tax status of Multimedia K.I.D. and JNKN, and such other documentation
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that JNKN is in a
negative cash flow position and that changes in its business
associated with such business decline shall not be considered material
for the purposes of this Section. No representations and warranties
shall survive the closing.
(b) Full cooperation shall be given JNKN and Multimedia K.I.D. and their
respective representatives and advisors in their due diligence
efforts, including making available such records and personnel as may
be reasonably requested by such parties. Such due diligence will also
include JNKN conducting a feasibility study of Multimedia K.I.D.'s
competitiveness in its industry and the preparation of a fairness
opinion. Full cooperation will be given by all parties in structuring
the due diligence process in such a manner as will minimize the number
of individuals participating in due diligence activities so as to
reduce the risk of premature public disclosure. The parties shall
enter into a confidentiality agreement for the confidential treatment
of the information exchanged during the due diligence process (the
"Confidentiality Agreement").
6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) Promptly after the Closing, JNKN will at its expense file a
registration statement for the public sale by the former shareholders
of Multimedia K.I.D. of not less than 6,600,000 shares of JNKN Common
Stock to be issued at the Closing or issuable upon conversion of
Preferred Stock. The allocation of such registration rights shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors (or
equivalent governing body) of Multimedia K.I.D.
(b) JNKN will grant to the shareholders of Multimedia K.I.D. piggyback
registration rights and demand
3
<PAGE>
registration rights on the Common Shares (including any Common
Shares issuable on conversion of Preferred Stock) which are not
required to be registered at the Closing. JNKN will use its best
reasonable efforts to keep effective for three years each
registration statement which is filed pursuant to any such demand.
The shareholders who may effectuate a demand will be identified by
Multimedia K.I.D. prior to Closing; provided, however, that in the
event the demand rights are exercisable in any manner other than
pro rata based on the number of shares owned, Multimedia K.I.D.
will obtain the consent of all of its shareholders to any
disproportionate allocation of demand rights. The demand
registration rights shall be exercisable at any time within 180
days following the Closing.
(c) Piggyback rights will be exercisable commencing one year after the
Closing.
(d) Notwithstanding any registration of their shares as aforesaid,
Multimedia K.I.D. shareholders will agree to a lock-up of their Common
Shares and Preferred Shares (but not the 6,600,000 shares referred to
under (a)) for 12 months except (i) for sales permitted by a majority
of the disinterested members of Board of JNKN, (ii) at any time after
the Closing sales price of the common stock of JNKN has been at least
$6 for 20 consecutive trading days, or (iii) at any time after JNKN
has completed any public offering of its Common Stock for cash other
than upon the exercise of presently existing option or warrants or the
financing transaction contemplated by Section 8 of this Letter of
Intent. Any release from the lock-up provisions described above must
be made pro rata among all locked-up stockholders.
7. CLOSING CONDITIONS. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and covered by the Reorganization Agreement shall be subject to
customary terms and closing conditions, including, without limitation, the
following:
(a) If required by applicable law or the rules and regulations of the
Nasdaq Stock Market, the approval of the definitive Reorganization
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by the
stockholders of JNKN;
(b) Satisfactory completion of legal and financial due diligence by JNKN,
its representatives, advisors and agents with respect to Multimedia
K.I.D.;

fiscal years and of Multimedia K.I.D.'s interim financial statements
for the period subsequent to the most recent annual audit and ending
one month prior to the consummation of the Merger. The historical
audited financial statements must, in the opinion of the accountants
for JNKN, be suitable or readily adaptable for incorporation in the
registration statements, prospectuses and annual reports to be filed
by JNKN with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended;

authorities and of all consents and approvals of third parties as may
be required for the consummation of the Transaction;
(e) The documentation relating to the Transactions contemplated hereby
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto;
(f) Neither Multimedia K.I.D. nor JNKN shall be a party to any litigation
that would likely have a material adverse effect on Multimedia K.I.D.,
JNKN or the proposed business, other than pending or threatened
litigation currently disclosed in JNKN's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission;
(g) Pessie Goldenberg shall have entered into an employment agreement with
JNKN on terms acceptable to such parties;
(h) JNKN's current operation will be placed into a wholly owned subsidiary
and that subsidiary will enter into
4
<PAGE>

acceptable to such parties;
(i) Satisfactory completion of legal and financial due diligence by
Multimedia K.I.D., its representatives, advisors and agents; and
(j) The shares of JNKN shall, at the Closing, continue to be listed on the
NASDAQ Small Cap Market and no inquiry or proceeding by NASDAQ shall
then be in progress for the possible delisting such shares; provided,
however, that absent actual delisting, notice from the Nasdaq Stock
Market regarding the Company's possible delisting due to failure to
have two independent directors shall not, in itself, be deemed to be a
violation of this condition of Closing.
8. FINANCING. It shall be another condition to the Closing that JNKN shall
have raised $4,000,000 (after deducting commissions at 10.0% of the amount
raised) in unsecured convertible debt that shall be automatically
convertible into Common Stock at a rate of $1.25 per share upon Stockholder
Approval. Such unsecured convertible debt shall take the form of
promissory notes having terms (but not necessarily the form) of the form of
promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit 2. A registration statement for
the shares issuable on conversion will be filed not later than 15 days
before the meeting at which JNKN stockholders will be asked to approve
conversion of the Preferred Stock, provided that sale of the shares will in
any event be restricted by a six-month lock-up. The proceeds of this
financing will be allocated $2 million to JNKN's Multimedia K.I.D.
subsidiary and $2 million to JNKN's other operations. The parties hereto
agree that (i) the $2 million allocated to JNKN's other operations will not
be utilized for the repayment of indebtedness or other obligations of
Multimedia K.I.D. or for any purposes other than the operation of JNKN's
business., and (ii) the $2 million allocated to Multimedia K.I.D.'s
operations will not be utilized for the repayment of indebtedness or other
obligations of JNKN and that such proceeds will be applied substantially
as described in Exhibit 3 attached hereto.
9. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. Each party agrees that it will not release or issue any
reports, statements, announcements, or releases pertaining to this Letter
of Intent or the implementation thereof without the prior written consent
of the other parties, except where otherwise required by law.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Letter of Intent is not binding, except that the provisions of
Section 3, 5 and 10 shall be binding.
(b) This Letter of Intent shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to the conflict or choice of law provisions thereof. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of any federal and state courts located within New York County,
and courts with appellate jurisdiction therefrom, in connection with
any matter based upon or arising out of this Letter of Intent or the
matters contemplated herein.
(c) If the Transaction is not completed, each party hereto shall pay its
own expenses incident to this Letter of Intent, and negotiation and
preparation of the Reorganization Agreement and the other documents
and instruments referred to herein and therein and the transaction
contemplated hereby and thereby.
Very truly yours,

Preferred Stock. The shares of Preferred Stock shall have the rights,

govern:
1. GENERAL. Except as set forth in the Certificates of Designation, the
rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B and Series C Preferred
Stock shall be identical.
2. CONVERSION; CANCELLATION. No shares of Preferred Stock shall be
convertible into Common Stock unless and until the stockholders of JNKN have
approved such conversion ("Stockholder Approval").
(a) Series B Preferred Stock. Once Stockholder Approval has been
obtained, each issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall
be convertible into the number of shares of JNKN Common Stock calculated in
accordance with Section 2(c) below.
(b) Series C Preferred Stock. Once Stockholder Approval has been
obtained, none of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have any rights,
preferences or privileges whatsoever other than the voting rights described
in Section 7 below, unless and until the first calendar year (or part of a
calendar year) in which revenues of Multimedia KID (exclusive of JNKN
revenues) are not less than $1,700,000 at which time the Series C Preferred
Stock shall either (i) have identical rights, preferences and privileges to
the Series B Preferred Stock or, (ii) if no shares of Series B Preferred
Stock remain outstanding at such time, automatically convert into Common
Stock in accordance with Section 2(c) below. In the event that such annual
revenue target is not achieved by December 31, 2001, each and every share of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically canceled with no further
action on the part of the holders thereof or JNKN.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(a) and (b) above, each
share of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the
lesser of (i) 10 shares of JNKN Common Stock or (ii) the number of shares of
JNKN Common Stock to be determined based on financial performance criteria to
be agreed to by JNKN and Multimedia K.I.D. prior to the execution of the
Definitive Agreement.
3. REDEMPTION RIGHTS.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a "redemption event" (as defined below),
all of the Preferred Stock shall be from time to time redeemable at the
option of the holders thereof whether or not any milestones set forth in the
Certificates of Designation have been met. The redemption price per share
shall be $10 which shall increase at annual rate of 15% from and after March
1, 2000. The redemption price shall be payable to a holder of Preferred Stock
within five business days after written demand for redemption is made by such
holder.
(b) For purposes hereof, a "redemption event" shall have occurred
and be continuing:
(i) Stockholder Approval has not been obtained on
or prior to February 28, 2000, or such later date as holders of a
majority of the Preferred Stock shall agree,
(ii) A receiver, liquidator or trustee of JNKN or
7
<PAGE>
of a substantial part of its properties shall be appointed by
court order and such order shall remain in effect for more than 15
days; or JNKN shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; or a
substantial part of the property of JNKN shall be sequestered by
court order and such order shall remain in effect for more than 15
days; or a petition to reorganize JNKN under any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency law shall be filed against JNKN and
shall not be dismissed within 45 days after such filing.
(iii) JNKN shall file a petition in voluntary
bankruptcy or request reorganization under any provision of any
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law, or shall consent to
the filing of any petition against it under any such law.
(iv) JNKN shall make an assignment for the benefit
of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, or consent to the appointment
of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of JNKN, or of all or any
substantial part of its properties.
4. DIVIDEND. For so long as any shares of Preferred Stock are issued and
outstanding, JNKN may not, without the prior written consent of holders of at
least a majority of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock, pay any dividend on
the Common Stock or any class or series of stock having rights, preferences
or privileges junior or equal to those of the Preferred Stock.
5. PREFERENCE ON LIQUIDATION. Subject to the provisions of Section 2, in
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of JNKN, either
voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation Event"), which occurs prior to the
date of Stockholder Approval, after setting apart or paying in full the
preferential amounts due to holders of any shares of Preferred Stock having a
liquidation preference senior to the Preferred Stock, each share of Preferred
Stock shall receive a liquidation preference equal to $10.00 per share.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2, in the event of a Liquidation Event
occurring after the date of Stockholder Approval, any outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock shall participate equally on an as-converted basis with the
holders of JNKN Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 5, neither the
consolidation nor merger of JNKN nor the sale, lease or transfer by JNKN of
all or any part of its assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of JNKN.
6. ADJUSTMENTS. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the
common stock, or consolidation, or merger of JNKN with or into another
corporation, or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its
assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition
precedent of such reorganization or sale, the following provision shall be
made: The Holder of the Preferred Stock shall from and after the date of such
reorganization or sale have the right to receive (in lieu of the shares of
common stock of JNKN immediately theretofore receivable with respect to the
Preferred, upon the exercise of conversion rights), such shares of stock,
securities or assets as would have been issued or payable with respect to or
in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of such common stock
immediately theretofore receivable with respect to the Preferred (assuming
the Preferred were then convertible). In any such case, appropriate provision
shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders to the
end that such conversion rights (including, without limitation, provisions
for appropriate adjustments) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may
be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof.
7. VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights unless and until Stockholder
Approval has been obtained at which time each outstanding share shall be
entitled to vote with the Common Stock as a single class on an as-converted
basis. Except as otherwise
8
<PAGE>
required by applicable law, holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled
to any voting rights.
8. NO SENIOR SHARES. Without the consent of holders of a majority in
interest of Preferred Stock, JNKN shall not create any class of equity
security which is senior to or on parity with the Preferred Stock in
liquidation rights.
9. AMENDMENTS TO PREFERRED STOCK RIGHTS. The rights, preferences and
privileges of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock may not be changed,
altered or amended without the prior consent of holders of a majority of the
affected Series as well as holders of at least 85% of the outstanding Common
Stock.

to the registration of the Common Stock into which this Note may be converted
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
2. CONVERSION.

immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of
conversion rights), such shares of stock, securities or assets
as would have been issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore issuable upon conversion of the Note (regardless of
whether the Note was actually convertible at such time). In
any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect
to the rights and interests of the Holders to the end that such
conversion rights (including, without limitation, provisions
for appropriate adjustments) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as may be practicable in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the
conversion of the Note.
(d) The Corporation covenants to call a meeting of stockholders
to be held on or before February 28, 2000 to, among other things,
approve the issuance of the Conversion Shares and such other
shares of Common Stock as may be issuable upon conversion of
certain other notes of the same tenor (collectively, the "JNKN

THURSDAY AUGUST 26, 9:25AM EASTERN TIME
COMPANY PRESS RELEASE
JENKON ANNOUNCES PROPOSED ACQUISITION
OF AWARD WINNING ISRAELI SOFTWARE COMPANY MULTIMEDIA
K.I.D., LTD, AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES
VANCOUVER, Wash--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 1999--Jenkon International Inc.
(Nasdaq SmallCap:JNKN - NEWS) today announced that it has signed a Letter of
Intent to acquire Multimedia K.I.D. LTD., an Israeli based interactive
educational company.
Consummation of the transaction is subject to the signing of a definitive
acquisition agreement and other customary terms and conditions. Upon
completion of the transaction, Multimedia and Jenkon will both operate as
wholly owned subsidiaries of the parent to be newly named Multimedia K.I.D.,
Inc.
Under the terms of letter of intent, JNKN will issue to the shareholders of
Multimedia, in exchange for 100 percent of the outstanding securities of
Multimedia, and aggregate of i) 840,000 common shares of Jenkon,
ii) 2,416,000 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock which will be convertible
into an aggregate of 24,160,000 shares of Jenkon Common Stock. Assuming all
shares of Preferred Stock convert, Multimedia K.I.D. shareholders would hold
approximately 83% of the Company's common stock. The Preferred Stock will
have no voting or conversion rights unless and until the stockholders of
Jenkon have approved the grant of voting rights to such shares. Upon Jenkon
stockholder approval, the Preferred Stock will have voting rights on an
as-converted basis.
Multimedia K.I.D. designs, manufactures, and sells numerous innovative
software and activity systems that together create virtual interactive
learning centers for children and adults. Multimedia K.I.D. has over 100
software titles covering content as diverse as science, nature, math, music,
language, art, technology, transportation, as well as every day environments
such as the home and workplace. The educational systems are designed to
promote creativity, imagination, listening, reading, writing, cognitive and
motor skills through a full range of media which touches on different senses
and emotions.
In 1998, Multimedia K.I.D. was awarded the prestigious Computer Software
Award from the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel for the category of
"Special Innovation and Invention in Education."
<PAGE>
David Edwards, CEO of Jenkon, stated that "The opportunity to acquire
Multimedia K.I.D. allows us to diversify our Company, taking us in a new
direction and ultimately increase shareholder value. We think that the
combined company will be in a better position to complete the development of
a replacement product for its SUMMIT V system, due in early 2000."
Edwards indicated that, "Because of the increasing competitive pressures
being experienced in its provision of back office software licenses as well
as the development costs associated with the completion of the next
generation of product, the Company's financial position deteriorated
significantly in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 and in the current
quarter. The closing of the transaction is conditional on additional
financing which would provide Jenkon with a substantial portion of the
capital it needs to continue existing operations and complete the development
of the next generation product."
The transaction outstanding is planned to close by mid-September 1999,
although it is subject to many contingencies, including the execution by the
parties of a definitive agreement and other events that are outside Jenkon's
control. If the transaction is closed and Jenkon stockholder approval of the
grant of voting rights to the Preferred Stock is not obtained on or prior to
February 28, 2000, the shares of Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the
option of the holders thereof at a price of $10.00 per share for a total
redemption price of $24,160,000.
Board and Management Change
In addition, Jenkon also announced that Philip Luizzo and Joe Albanese had
been appointed to the Board of Directors and that Bill Daniher had resigned
from the Board of Jenkon effective August 11, 1999.
Jenkon further indicated that Robert Cavitt, currently Executive Vice
President at the company, would be appointed President of Jenkon effective
September 1, 1999. Edwards noted that "Robert has been running the day to day
operations of the company since January and the Board is recognizing his
contribution to the Jenkon organization. Robert is well versed in the
industry, and his appointment will allow me to focus more on strategic issues
affecting both the company and the direct sales industry in general."
