Company to be held at The Sports Club/Irvine, 1980 Main Street, Irvine,

duly executed and received will be voted on all matters presented at the Annual
Meeting in accordance with the instructions given by such proxies. In the
absence of specific instructions, proxies so received will be voted for the
named nominees relating to the class of Common Stock for which the proxy relates
for election to the Company's Board of Directors, for approval of the
acquisition of IOM Holdings Corp. by the Company, for approval of the increase
in authorized shares and for the ratification of Singer Lewack Greenbaum &
Goldstein, LLP as the Company's independent public accountants. The Board of
Directors does not anticipate that any of its nominees will be unavailable for
election and does not know of any other matters that may be brought before the
Annual Meeting. In the event that any other matter should come before the Annual
Meeting or that any nominee is not available for election, the persons named in
the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies not
marked to the contrary with respect to such matter in accordance with their best
judgement. The proxy may be revoked at any time before being voted. The Company
will pay the entire expense of soliciting the proxies, which solicitation will
be by use of the mails. This Proxy Statement is being mailed to stockholders on
or about August 31, 2000.
Only holders of shares of Common Stock of record at the close of business
on August 17, 2000 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual
Meeting and at all adjournments thereof. As of the close of business on July 25,
2000, the Company had outstanding 31,862,039 shares of Common Stock.
At the Annual Meeting, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled, as a
class, to elect five Directors ("Directors"). The vote of a majority of the

election of the Directors. The vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
represented at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of the acquisition of
IOM Holdings Corp. by the Company, for approval of the increase in authorized
shares, and for the ratification of the appointment of Singer Lewack Greenbaum &

marked to deny discretionary authority will only be counted for determining the
presence of a quorum. Votes withheld in connection with the election of one or
more of the nominees for Director will not be counted as votes cast for such
individuals. In addition, where brokers are prohibited from exercising
discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not provided voting
instructions (commonly referred to as "broker non-votes"), those shares will not
be included in the vote totals.
