PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING
At the Annual Meeting, holders of Common Stock of the Company will
be asked to: (a) elect directors; and (b) amend the articles of
incorporation to change the name of the Company to "PC-EPhone,
Inc.".
VOTE REQUIRED
One-third (33.33%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common

or by proxy, is required for a quorum at the Annual Meeting. The
affirmative vote of a majority of those shares in favor of the
proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation to change the

to approve the agreement and amendment, and the nominees receiving
the five (5) highest number of votes will be elected to the board
of directors. Abstentions may be specified and will be counted as
present for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum.
Shares of Common Stock that are represented by properly executed
proxies, unless such proxies shall have previously been properly
revoked (as provided herein), will be voted in accordance with the
instructions indicated in such proxies. If no contrary
instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted FOR approval

It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in
this Proxy Statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If
other matters are properly presented, however, the persons named as
proxy appointees will vote in accordance with their best judgment
on such matters. The grant of a proxy also will confer
discretionary authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to
vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to
the conduct of the Annual Meeting.
Any shareholder may revoke his, her or its proxy (other than an
irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest) at any time before it

Company an instrument revoking the proxy; (2) returning a duly
executed proxy bearing a later date; or (3) attending the Annual
Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting
will not by itself constitute revocation of a proxy. There are no
dissenters rights or remedies for shareholders who do not agree
with the outcome of the vote on the issues to be brought at this
Annual Meeting.
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE
INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, AND SHAREHOLDERS ARE

PROPOSAL 2
----------
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE
--------------------------------------------------------------
THE COMPANY'S NAME TO "PC-EPhone, Inc."
---------------------------------------
Proposal 2 is to approve an amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation to change the name of the Company to PC-EPhone, Inc.
On or about October 24, 2000, the Company changed its principal
focus from oil and gas exploration to technology, communications
and electronics. Accordingly, the Board believes that it would be
appropriate to change the name of the Company to PC-EPhone, Inc. to
reflect current and future business operations. For these reasons
management believes the name change will bring more value to the
Company than will be lost by discarding the name Newlands Oil &
Gas, Inc.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS AMENDMENT.
