THE TRANSACTION
THE COMPANY
The Company has its executive offices at 1990 Westwood Blvd., Los
Angeles, California 90025, and its telephone number is (310) 441-0900. As
described in the accompanying NOTICE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THE SHAREHOLDERS,
the Company proposed to amend its Articles of Incorporation to change the name
of the Company to "World Collectibles, Inc." and to implement a 1 for 135
reverse split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. After the
reverse split is effective, there will be approximately 370,370 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding. In the reverse stock split, fractional shares will
be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation and the reverse split of its issued and outstanding
Common Stock are fair to all shareholders and affect them on a pro rata
equivalent basis. The transactions are being implemented to allow for the merger
and reorganization of the Company.
THE MERGER
The Company intends to merge with World Collectibles, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("WCIN") by means of a reverse triangular merger ("the Merger"). In
anticipation of the merger, the Company has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary,
World Collectibles Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("WCID"). The Merger
will be accomplished pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of May 17, 2000, by and among the Company, WCID and
WCIN (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which WCIN will merge with and into
WCID in a tax free reorganization within the meaning of Sections 351 and/or 368
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Stockholders of WCIN will
exchange their respective shares of Common Stock of WCIN for an aggregate of
6,450,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. After the effective date of the
Merger, WCIN shall cease its separate legal existence and WCID shall remain a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a condition to the merger, the
Company is required to implement a 1 for 135 reverse split of its Common Stock,
thereby reducing its outstanding shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 shares
to approximately 370,370 shares.
Additional information regarding the Company, its business, its stock,
and is financial condition are included in the Company's Form 10-KSB annual
report. A copy of the Company's Form 10- KSB for its fiscal year ending February
28, 2000 may be obtained by a written request to the Secretary of the Company,
and the information in said report is incorporated by reference in this proxy
statement.

WORLD COLLECTIBLES, INC.
WCIN imports, distributes and sells art, bronzes, and other exotic
furnishings including porcelain vases and oils. WCIN operates from a 3,000
square foot showroom and warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition, WCIN holds
live auctions of its products in various locations in the western U.S. WCIN is
evaluating the possibility of expanding its business through the sale of
franchises.
CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Giving effect to the Merger and the Reverse Stock Split, the Company's
current stockholders will own an aggregate of approximately 370,370 shares of
Common Stock, or approximately 4.2% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company on a fully diluted basis, and WCIN's shareholders prior to the Merger
will own an aggregate of 6,450,000 or approximately 73% of the outstanding
voting securities of the Company.
STANLEY SHUSTER AND BRIAN SHUSTER
Concurrent with the effective date of the Merger, the Company will
issue 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Stanley Shuster and 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock to Brian Shuster to cancel certain notes payable to Harry
Shuster and to entities, that are affiliates of or are controlled by Harry
Shuster, in the amount of $100,000. Harry Shuster gifted his interest in such
amounts and notes receivable totaling $768,912 to his son, Stanley Shuster, on
December 15, 1998. On March 15, 2000, Stanley Shuster made a capital
contribution of $668,912 to the Company thereby reducing the Company's liability
to Stanley Shuster to $100,000. Thereafter, Stanley Shuster assigned $50,000 of
the $100,000 receivable to his brother, Brian Shuster, in exchange for a two
year promissory note.
Following the effective date of the Merger, Stanley Shuster will be the
beneficial owner of 1,130,402 or approximately 12.8% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Brian Shuster will be the beneficial
owner of 1,000,000 or approximately 11.3% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSALS REQUIRED TO EFFECT THE MERGER
The approval of each of the proposals contained herein by the
affirmative vote of the majority shares present in person or represented by
proxy is a condition precedent to the consummation of the Merger. Assuming
approval by stockholders, the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement shall
be effective concurrent with the consummation of the Merger.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The summary compensation table is omitted because no compensation for
services in all capacities to the Company was awarded, earned by or paid to the
President of the Company for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2000, 1999 or
1998, and no other executive officer of the Company received salary and bonus in
excess of $100,000 during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2000, 1999 or
1998.

<PAGE>
No director or officer has received compensation for services rendered
during 1998, 1999 or 2000. Directors do not currently receive fees or other
remuneration from the Company.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS AND HOLDINGS OF MANAGEMENT
Giving effect to the consummation of the Merger and the reverse stock
split, the current stockholders of the Company will collectively own
approximately 4.2% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, on a
diluted basis. Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, the incumbent officers
and directors of the Company will be replaced by the officers and directors
selected by the shareholders of WCIN.
The following table sets forth certain information as of June 16, 2000,
regarding (i) each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) each director,
nominee and executive officer of the Company and (iii) all officers and
directors as a group.

Board Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL.
Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be so voted unless stockholders
specify otherwise in their proxy.
DESCRIPTION
A. CHANGE OF NAME
WCIN has requested that the Company's name be changed to "World
Collectibles, Inc." such that, upon the completion of the Merger, the Company's
name reflects its business as a successor to the business of WCIN.
B. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
REASON FOR REVERSE STOCK SPLIT; DILUTION
The consummation of the Merger is contingent upon each share of Common
Stock issued and outstanding, without any action on the part of any holder
thereof, being converted into .007407407 of a share of Common Stock. In the
reverse stock split, fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole
share.
The Reverse Stock Split would apply to all shares of the Company's
Common Stock outstanding on the date immediately prior to the closing of the
Merger, but will not be effective until the consummation of the Merger. Giving
effect to the consummation of the Merger, the holders of Common Stock will
collectively own approximately 4.2% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company on a fully diluted basis.
The principal purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to fulfill the
provisions and requirements of the Merger Agreement, which provides that the
Company's currently outstanding Common Stock be reduced to approximately 370,370
shares.
The proposed Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation is attached hereto as Annex A.
EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
Assuming the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the stockholders,
stockholders will be required to exchange their stock certificates for new
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the
Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders will be furnished with the necessary materials
and instructions for the surrender and exchange of stock certificates at the
appropriate time by the Company's transfer agent. Stockholders will not be
required to pay
5
<PAGE>
a transfer or other fee in connection with the exchange of certificates.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
The following description of Federal income tax consequences is based
upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the applicable Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority and current
administrative rulings and practices as in effect on the date of this Proxy
Statement. This discussion is for general information only and does not discuss
consequences which may apply to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., nonresident
aliens, brokers-dealers or insurance companies). Stockholders are urged to
consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to them.
The exchange of shares of Common Stock for shares of Common Stock after
giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split will not result in recognition of gain
or loss. The holding period of the shares of new Common Stock will include the
stockholder's holding period for the shares of Common Stock exchanged therefor,
provided that the shares of Common Stock were held as a capital asset. The
adjusted basis of the shares of new Common Stock will be the same as the
adjusted basis of the shares of Common Stock exchanged therefor.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other matters to be
presented at the Special Meeting of Stockholders. However, if any other matters
properly come before the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, it is intended
that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in accordance with the
judgment of the persons named therein.
COST OF SOLICITATION
Solicitation other than by mail may be made personally and by telephone
by officers and employees of the Company who will not be additionally
compensated therefor. The Company will request brokers, dealers, banks or voting
trustees, or their nominees, who hold stock in their names for others or hold
stock for others who have the right to give voting instructions, to forward
proxy materials to their principals and request authority for the execution of
the proxy card and will reimburse such institutions for their reasonable
expenses in so doing. The total cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the
Company.
