1. As of December 31, 1996. Dr. Whitney has accumulated deferred
salary totaling $254,750, with $108,083 of that amount accruing during

7
<PAGE>
2. In 1993, a note payable to an unrelated party in the amount of
$151,602, including accrued interest, was settled for $92,000. The
settlement was primarily funded by a bank loan in the amount of
$80,000. The makers and guarantors of the bank note are Drs. Whitney
and Cavell. The liability is recorded in the Company's balance sheet
and the Company pays the monthly payment on the note. The balance
due as of December 31, 1996 is $29,002.
3. In 1994, options totaling 2,675,000 shares for Dr. Whitney and
200,000 shares for Dr. Cavell, which were to expire in 1995, were
extended to dates ranging from February 5, 1996 to May 15, 1997. The
option price of $.10 per share remained unchanged. In 1995, an
additional option for 1,025,000 shares was granted to Dr. Whitney

expenses of approximately $26,400, amounted to approximately $97,000.
Terms for providing service are similar to that of unrelated clients
and all billings due at December 31, 1996 have subsequently been
received.
PROPOSAL TO AMEND
THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES
PROPOSAL 2
At the Annual Meeting, an amendment to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation will be presented which will increase the number of authorized
common shares from 50,000,000 of $.001 par value to 250,000,000 of $.001
par value. The Board of Directors is proposing this amendment to create
additional flexibility for future financing and acquisitions. At present,
in excess of 40,000,000 shares are of record. In addition, there are presently
in excess of 5,000,000 shares in options and warrants that may be exercised
in the future. Therefore, the Board of Directors believes it is appropriate
to increase the Company's authorized shares.
An increase in the number of authorized shares could lead to issuance
of additional shares, which would dilute a shareholder's existing ownership
interest in the Company. Furthermore, the issuance of any such shares to
persons other than the public would further reduce the amount of control in
the hands of the public.
1996 ANNUAL REPORT
The Company's Form 10-KSB for 1996 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission will serve as the Company's 1996 annual report. The 1996
Form 10-KSB is being mailed to each shareholder along with this proxy
statement. ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE 1996 FORM 10-KSB MAY BE OBTAINED BY
WRITING TO THE CORPORATION.
1998 ANNUAL MEETING
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the 1998 annual
meeting must be received by the Company for inclusion in Management's Proxy
Statement by March 31, 1998.

<PAGE>
OTHER BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors knows
of no other business to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any
other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the proxies
returned by the Company's shareholders confer discretionary authority on the
persons named therein. Those persons will vote or act in accordance with
their best judgement with respect to those matters.
