Record Date and Voting Rights
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on July
___, 1999 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any
continuation or adjournment thereof. On that date there were 6,749,068 shares of
the Company's Common Stock and 381,177 shares of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Common and Series A Preferred Stock
is entitled to one vote per share. Any share of Common or Series A Preferred
Stock held of record on June 30, 1999 shall be assumed, by the Board of
Directors, to be owned beneficially by the record holder thereof for the period
shown on the Company's stockholder records. The affirmative vote of a majority
of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required for the election of the
directors, to ratify the acquisition of a technology license and certain related
assets from UIT and approve the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and
two Warrants, each to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, to
UIT and to ratify the sale of the Limousine Reservation System business to GEN
O2, Inc., a newly organized company formed by Mark A. Kenny, a former director
and founder of the Company, to approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to netcruise.com, inc., to
approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to restate
the provisions of the Company's authorized Common and Preferred Stock to correct
certain inconsistencies and to ratify the appointment of auditors.
In the event that a stockholder does not designate his or her broker to
vote in their place, brokers may be precluded from exercising their voting
discretion with respect to certain matters to be acted upon and thus, in the
absence of specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, will
not be empowered to vote the shares on such matters and therefore will not be
counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval. Shares
represented by such broker non-votes will, however, be counted for the purpose
of determining whether there is a quorum. The brokers will only be allowed to
vote for the election of Directors and the ratification of the appointment of
independent auditors. Since broker non-votes are not counted, it could be more
difficult to obtain the required approval to ratify the acquisition of a
technology license and certain related assets from UIT and to approve the
issuance of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and two Warrants, each to purchase
800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, to UIT and to ratify the sale of
the Limousine Reservation System business to GEN O2, Inc., a newly organized
company formed by Mark A. Kenny, a former director and founder of the Company,
to approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to change
the name of the Company to netcruise.com, inc., and to approve an amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to restate the provisions of the
Company's authorized Common and Preferred Stock to correct certain
inconsistencies.
Directors and officers of the Company and certain other Shareholders holding
approximately 36.5% of the outstanding Common Stock (including UIT) and all of
the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company intend to vote "FOR" the slate of
directors, "FOR" the ratification of the sale of the Limousine Reservation
System business to GEN O2, Inc., a newly organized company formed by Mark A.
Kenny, a former director and founder of the Company, "FOR" the approval of an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of
the Company to netcruise.com, inc., "FOR" the approval of an amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to restate the provisions of the
Company's authorized Common and Preferred Stock to correct certain
inconsistencies and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of auditors.
Certain Directors and Officers of the Company and certain other shareholders
holding approximately 23.2% of the outstanding Common Stock (excluding UIT) and
all of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company intend to vote "FOR"the
ratification of the acquisition of a technology license and certain related
assets from UIT and the approval of the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of Common
Stock and two warrants, each to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, to UIT.
Forward Looking Statements
When used in this Proxy Statement, the words "may," "will,"
"expect," "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "project," "intend" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended regarding events, conditions
and financial trends that may affect the company's future plans of operations,
business strategy, operating results and financial position. Shareholders are
cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual results
may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements
as a result of various factors.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Approval of Proposals
Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the acquisition of a technology license and
certain related assets from United Internet Technologies, Inc. and approval of
the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and two stock purchase warrants
to United Internet Technologies, Inc.
The Company believes that the ratification of the acquisition of a technology
license and certain related assets from UIT and approval of the issuance of
1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and the two warrants to UIT is in the best
interest of the Company, as the expected growth rate of the internet travel
business is anticipated to be faster than that for the limousine reservations
systems business. Management is of the opinion that the costs to develop the new
line of business is less than the costs required to maintain the limousine
reservation business until such time as revenues will be able to cover the costs
of operation. Further, it is management's opinion that the internet travel
business will provide, on a long term basis, a greater return to shareholders.
Disadvantages to Proposal No. 2 include a lack of operating history with respect
to the software relating to the internet travel business. Although management
expects web-site development to continue through mid-1999, the internet web-site
is currently operational and independent travel consultants can view videos and
book car, air and hotel reservations directly through the web-site as well as
research vacation packages and cruise itineraries. The Company's independent
travel consultants are currently not able to book vacation and cruise packages
in an automated fashion through the web-site. In order to make these types of
reservations, the independent travel consultant is instructed to contact the
Company's service center, (operated through Sammy's Travel World, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company) via toll-free telephone, fax or e-mail, whereby a
live NetCruise Interactive, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
formed on July 21, 1998 for the purpose of operating an internet travel
business) ("NetCruise") travel agent will then make the vacation or cruise
reservation. The Company intends to continually enhance its technology to
automate the booking process for cruise and vacation reservations through its
web-site. There can be no assurance, though, that the Company will be able to
achieve the technological advancements necessary to automate the booking of
cruise and vacation reservations.
At the present time the Company only has a limited number of individuals who
have subscribed to be independent travel consultants. It is important to note
that the Company's customers consists of the independent travel consultants as
well as the clients of the independent travel consultants for whom travel is
booked. The Company initially acquired 280 independent travel consultants as a
result of the Company's acquisition of the assets of Sterling. The Company is
honoring the agreements the independent travel consultants made with Sterling
which were in place at the time the Company purchased Sterling's assets. The
subscription fees charged by the Company are significantly less than those which
had been charged by Sterling, although the renewal fees are the same. This is
true even though NetCruise will be providing additional services not offered by
Sterling, such as automated web-site booking capability and video technology. As
the independent travel consultants subscription agreements come up for renewal,
there is no guarantee that the independent travel consultants will renew their
agreements with the Company. Additionally, although the Company believes that
its national marketing campaign will be successful in the recruitment of new
independent travel consultants, there can be no assurance of the effectiveness
of the campaign.
The budgeted cost of launching the Company's marketing campaign, which
includes the development of a data base and networking capability, is expected
to be approximately $1,342,000. Of such amount, approximately $198,000 was
allocated to complete development of the web-site, which is currently
operational. The Company intends to use $75,000 of the $198,000 to continue to
enhance and upgrade the web-site. Such improvements will include providing
additional features to the site, such as personal web pages for the independent
travel consultants, chat capability, on-line accounting information for the
independent travel consultants as well as client profiling. The Company expects
to continue upgrading the web-site as appropriate. The remainder of the
$1,342,000 will be used to produce a television video infomercial and purchase
media time. The Company believes it will be able to finance such development
substantially from proceeds of a recent private placement in the amount of
$1,500,000, but there can be no assurance that such funds will be sufficient.
(The funds of the private placement were received by the Company as follows:
$200,000 in 1998, $510,000 between January, 1999 and March, 1999 and $790,000 in
June, 1999.) In the event the Company decides to purchase significant amounts of
media time for the television infomercial, it will need to raise additional
funds. No assurance can be made that the Company will be able to raise such
funds.
Initially, revenues from the web-site will be derived from
subscriptions from the independent travel consultants along with commissions
from bookings shared with the independent travel consultants. As the Company
develops it believes that the majority of the it's revenue will be derived from
commissions earned from the sale of travel through the independent travel
consultants. The Company's business model is built around the sharing of
commissions with the independent travel consultants generated from travel
industry vendors such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, resort
properties, tour operators and cruise lines. The Company believes that
commission sharing with the independent travel consultant, which ranges from 50%
to 60% of the commissions received by NetCruise is a key enticement for
individuals to subscribe to become independent travel consultants. The
subscription and annual renewal fee for all independent travel consultants,
including the former Sterling Travel Consultants, is currently $95.00. While the
Company believes it will benefit from its portion of the commission revenues
generated, it also believes that significant revenues will be derived from other
key areas such as annual subscription fees from its independent travel
consultants, advertising through its web-site and incentive arrangements with
travel vendors and travel related product vendors (in addition to its share of
the standard travel commissions). However, a significant change in the
prevailing commission structure in the travel industry could have a detrimental
effect on the Company's ability to attract and retain independent travel
consultants and to benefit from the other revenue sources listed above, which
are substantially created through this core distribution system.
In the event shareholders do not ratify the acquisition of a technology
license and certain related assets from UIT and approve the issuance of
1,100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to UIT and two warrants, each to
purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, the Company intends to
continue its entry into the internet travel business either by negotiating a
licensing agreement with UIT for the use of its technology license and certain
related assets or by utilizing alternative technologies. In the event that
Proposal No. 2 is not approved by the Shareholders and Proposal No. 3 is
approved by the Shareholders, the Company will not own the limousine reservation
business but will continue to expand into the internet travel business.
Proposal No. 3: Ratification of the sale of the limousine reservation system
business to GEN O2, Inc., a newly organized corporation formed by Mark A. Kenny,
a former director and founder of the Company.
Management of the Company set revenue objectives for the limousine
reservation business and made the decision to review the operation at the end of
the third quarter 1998 to determine the best approach to maximize utilization of
the Company's resources. The limousine reservation business did not meet its
revenue objectives and in early September 1998, the Company decided to seek a
buyer or joint venture partner for its limousine reservation business.
In addition, although the Company had begun to generate revenues, the Company
found that many limousine providers were resisting the payment of commissions or
fees in connection with bookings on the Company's system until such time as the
potential benefits of the Company's system could be better quantified. This
resulted in a much slower development of revenues for the Company than was
originally anticipated. Management estimated the cost of operations for a more
extended period of time and determined that the Company's available funds would
be better spent in other areas of the travel business. Management has determined
that the funds needed to develop the internet travel business would be less than
those required to bring the limousine business to full operation. It therefore
determined to expand into the internet travel business. As a result, if the
shareholders approve the acquisition of the technology license and certain
related assets from UIT and the sale of the limousine reservation business, the
effect to shareholders is a fundamental change in the nature of the business of
the Company from the limousine reservation business to an internet travel
business.
Disadvantages to ratification of Proposal No. 3 include the fact that
as part of the sale, the Company will be retaining a 32.66% interest in GEN 02,
Inc. and will be loaning to GEN 02, Inc. a $135,000 installment loan and a
$40,000 bridge loan. The TranspoNet Companies, Inc. ("TranspoNet") another
32.66% shareholder of GEN 02, Inc., is providing, commencing December 10, 1998,
$20,000 per month to GEN 02, Inc., for an aggregate of $240,000. TranspoNet is
not affiliated with the Company or any of its shareholders. The primary
capitalization of GEN 02, Inc., is being provided by the loans from the Company
and TranspoNet. In addition, the sole asset of GEN 02, Inc. is the limousine
reservation business. As a result, the Company will absorb all losses to the
extent of the assets transferred ($744,122). Although there are no minimum
contingent payments, the Company has begun to receive minimal contingent
payments from GEN 02, Inc., consisting of two payments totaling $3,656.20.
However, it is possible that the Company will not receive significant contingent
payments from GEN 02, Inc. over the 5 year period. Shareholders should note that
they are being asked to ratify the sale of the limousine business to GEN 02,
Inc., a company newly organized by Mark A. Kenny, who is a former director of
the Company. The sale of the limousine reservation business was negotiated with
GEN 02, Inc. while Mr. Kenny was still a director of the Company, although he
did not participate in the directors analysis and decision to sell the business
to GEN 02, Inc.
In the event that shareholders do not approve Proposal No. 3, the
Company will be required to either find another purchaser of the limousine
reservation business or raise additional capital to bring the limousine
reservation business to full operation. No assurance can be given that the
Company will be able to raise such funds.
Proposal No. 4: To amend Article First of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation.
Since the Company proposes to fundamentally change its business from
that of the limousine reservation business to an internet travel business, the
Company determined that it would be appropriate to change the name of the
Company to more properly reflect this. Management does not believe that there
are any significant disadvantages to changing the name to netcruise.com, inc.
The advantages to approving the amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to change the name of the Company to netcruise.com, inc. is that
the Company's name will be more identified with that of its operating business.
Proposal No. 5: To amend Article Fourth of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation.
The advantages of amending the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
to restate the provisions of the Company's authorized Common and Preferred Stock
as described in Proposal No. 5 is that the Certificate of Incorporation will
become clearer because certain inconsistencies existing in the previous revision
will be corrected.
If shareholders do not approve the change in the amended Certificate of
Incorporation, it may be difficult for the Company to utilize the authorized
preferred shares for acquisitions, financing, and other proper corporate
purposes.
If shareholders do not approve the name change or the amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporations restating the provisions of the common
and preferred stock, managements present intention is to leave the name of the
Company and the Certificate of Incorporation as they now are.

Notes, one in the principal amount of $475,000 and the other in

On August 11, 1995, Robotic Lasers, Inc. acquired Travel Link

the Company in exchange for the shares of the common stock of
Travel Link owned by Joseph Cutrona, Mark A. Kenny and Steven E.
Pollan, which represented all the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of Travel Link.
In August 1995 the Company granted Mr. Wasko a five (5) year
option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$0.60 per share, which option has been exercised. In November,
1996 the Company granted Mr. Wasko a five (5) year option to

share, and in March 1999 the Company granted Mr. Wasko a five
(5) year option to purchase an aggregate of 25,000 shares of
Common Stock at a price of $4.75 per share.
On September 5, 1995 the Company entered into a three year consulting and
investment banking agreement with Loeb Partners Corporation. Under the terms of
the agreement the Company pays Loeb Partners Corporation $3,000 per month. Loeb
Partners Corporation will also receive a fee for arranging private financing and
acquisitions. This banking agreement has been extended by the Company for three
(3) years on the same terms. Mr. Warren D. Bagatelle, a Director and Chairman of
the Company, is a Managing Director of Loeb Partners Corporation.
During December 1995, Loeb agreed to loan the Company $250,000
evidenced by a series of Convertible Promissory Notes. In
November 1996, Loeb converted the Convertible Promissory Notes
into (i) two Term Promissory Notes, one in the principal amount
of $237,500 and the other in the principal amount of $12,500
issued in December 1995 and discussed below and (ii) 420,728
shares of Common Stock of the Company, of which 420,000 shares
of Common Stock are owned by four unaffiliated parties. Loeb
Holding Corporation did not receive any shares of Common Stock
in this transaction.
In March 1998 the holder of two Term Convertible Promissory
Notes in the principal amounts of $475,000 and $237,500,
converted $400,000 of the principal amount of the former note
and $200,000 of the principal amount of the latter note into
188,235 shares and 94,118 shares respectively of the Series A
Preferred Stock of the Company at a price of $2.125 per share.
The holder of the term promissory notes is Loeb Holding
Corporation, as escrow agent for Warren D. Bagatelle, Managing
Director of Loeb Partners Corp., HSB Capital (of which Mr.
Bagatelle is a partner), trusts for the benefit of families of
two principals of Loeb Holding Corporation and three
unaffiliated persons. Loeb Holding Corporation disclaims any
beneficial interest in these shares. Warren D. Bagatelle is
Chairman of the Company.
The Term Promissory Note in the amount of $25,000 and the Term
Promissory Note in the amount of $12,500 issued in December 1995
were converted in March 1998 into 400,000 shares of the Common
Stock of the Company at a price of $0.09375 per share.
In August 1996, the Company gave notice to Mr. Pollan that it
was canceling the 333,216 shares of Common Stock which had been
issued to him in August of 1995. It is the Company's position
that the Common Stock should be canceled because, among other
reasons, Mr. Pollan failed to provide the services to the
Company which were to be the consideration for the issuance of
the shares. Mr. Pollan has commenced an action against the
Company and others in the New Jersey Federal Court which
contests the Company's effort to cancel the shares issued to
him, and which seeks monetary damages and other relief. The
action is in its preliminary stages, and no assurance can be
given as to its ultimate outcome.
During November and December 1996, the Company and Loeb Holding Corporation
signed four eighteen (18) month Convertible Promissory Notes whereby Loeb
Holding Corporation loaned the Company the sums of $75,000, $30,000, $10,000 and
$95,000 (totaling $210,000). The Promissory Notes which bear interest at 10%,
matured on May 11, 1998, May 25, 1998, June 2, 1998 and June 9, 1998. In March
1998, Loeb, converted the total principal amount of the four Convertible
Promissory Notes ($210,000) into 98,824 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
of the Company at a price of $2.125 per share.
In connection with the acquisition of the technology license
and the assets from UIT by NetCruise, Mr. Brian Shuster received
two warrants, each entitling him to purchase 200,000 shares of
the Common Stock of the Company. One warrant is exercisable for
200,000 shares at $2.50 per share and may be exercised between
April 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002, but only if NetCruise achieves
profits equal to or exceeding $5,000,000 for the years 1999,
2000 and 2001. The other Warrant is exercisable for 200,000
shares at $6.00 per share and may be exercised between April 1,
2002 and June 30, 2002, but only if NetCruise achieves profits
equal to or exceeding $10,000,000 for the years 1999, 2000 and
2001.
In November 1998 the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with a
company newly formed by a management group led by Mark A. Kenny, a Company
founder and former director. This new company was organized for the purpose of
this acquisition. Mr. Kenny is still a shareholder of the Company. The terms of
this sale are more fully discussed in Proposal No. 3.
For the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company paid to the
firm of McLaughlin & Stern, LLP the sum of $145,762 for legal
services. Mr. Sass, a director of the Company, is a member of
said firm.
The Company believes that each of these transactions was
entered into on terms at least as favorable to the Company as
could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
The transactions described above involve actual or potential
conflicts of interest between the Company and its officers or
directors. In order to reduce the potential for conflicts of
interest between the Company and its officers and directors,
prior to entering into any transaction in which a potential
material conflict of interest might exist, the Company's policy
has been and will continue to be, that the Company does not
enter into transactions with officers, directors or other
affiliates unless the terms of the transaction are at least as
favorable to the Company as those which would have been
obtainable from an unaffiliated source. As of the date hereof,
the Company has no plans to enter into any additional
transactions which involve actual or potential conflicts of
interest between the Company and its officers or directors.
Should the Company enter into any such transaction in the
future, it will not do so without first obtaining at least one
fairness opinion from, depending on the nature of the
transaction, either its own independent directors or from an
independent investment banking firm.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
RATIFICATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF A TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AND CERTAIN RELATED
ASSETS FROM UNITED INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF
1,100,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND TWO STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS TO UNITED
INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, NetCruise (a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company formed on July 21, 1998 for the
purpose of operating an internet travel business) acquired a
technology license and certain related assets from UIT in
consideration of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
and two warrants ("Warrants"), each entitling the holder to
purchase 800,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the
"UIT Transaction"). One warrant is exercisable for 800,000
shares at $2.50 per share and may be exercised between April 1,
2002 and June 30, 2002, but only if NetCruise achieves profits
equal to or exceeding $5,000,000 for the years 1999, 2000 and
2001. The other Warrant is exercisable for 800,000 shares at
$6.00 per share and may be exercised between April 1, 2002 and
June 30, 2002, but only if NetCruise achieves profits equal to
or exceeding $10,000,000 for the years 1999, 2000 and 2001. No
value has been placed on the warrants since the warrants are
each contingent upon future earnings. For a more detailed
description of the Company's Common Stock please see Proposal
No. 5.
The Company has since been advised that the issuance of such
securities has caused the Company to inadvertently be in
violation of a Nasdaq MarketPlace Rule because the issuance of
the 2,000,000 shares and Warrants amounted to more than 20% of
the issued and outstanding shares of the Company and were not
approved by Shareholders as required by such Rule. Nasdaq
advised the Company that the Company's Common Stock would be
delisted as a result of such violation. The Company requested a
hearing on the delisting which was held on November 20, 1998.
Nasdaq issued its written determination on January 12, 1999 to
continue listing the Company's securities on The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market pursuant to the following conditions: (i) the UIT
Transaction must be unwound in the event shareholders do not
ratify the acquisition of the technology license and certain
related assets from UIT and approve the issuance of 1,100,000
shares of Common Stock and two Stock Purchase Warrants to UIT;
(ii) the Company must file a Definitive Proxy Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq on or before
February 15, 1999; and (iii) the Company must submit
documentation to Nasdaq on or before March 15, 1999 evidencing
either the receipt of shareholder approval of the issuance of
additional shares to UIT or the unwinding of the issuance of
additional shares to UIT and purchase of a technology license
and certain related assets from UIT. The Company has requested
an extension from Nasdaq with respect to the deadlines to July
31, 1999.
The Company and UIT have restructured the transaction so that
UIT will return to the Company 1,100,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock (retaining 900,000 shares that are not in violation
of the Nasdaq MarketPlace Rule) and the Warrants. The Company
will issue to UIT 1,100,000 shares of Convertible Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), which Series B
Preferred Stock is automatically converted into 1,100,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock upon Shareholder approval of the
issuance of the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and the
Warrants. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting stock and
carries a mandatory dividend of $275,000, payable on September
30, 1999 and a mandatory quarterly dividend at the rate of
$68,750 commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 1999. No
dividend will be payable if the Shareholders approve the
issuance of the 1,100,000 shares Common Stock and Warrants prior
to the time that the dividend is payable. The Company was not
able to obtain such Shareholder approval, and will therefore be
required to pay the dividend. The total purchase price in the
UIT Transaction is 900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
and 1,100,000 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock. If shareholders ratify the acquisition, the
Series B Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into
1,100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and the Company
will issue two warrants, each to purchase 800,000 shares of
Common Stock, as outlined above.
In the event shareholders do not ratify the acquisition of the assets and
approve the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock and two stock purchase
warrants, the UIT Transaction will be unwound. In such event the Company
estimates that the cost to undo the transaction will not exceed $50,000. This
estimate includes accounting fees, legal fees, recording fees and employee
termination fees. In the event that the UIT Transaction must be unwound, the
following shall occur: (i) the Company shall reassign the technology license and
return the related assets to UIT; (ii) UIT will return to the Company all stock
certificates received pursuant to the UIT Transaction and (iii) Mr. Brian
Shuster will return the warrants issued to him by the Company; and (iv) Mr.
Brian Shuster will resign from any officer or director position held by him. In
addition, Mr. Brian Shuster's consulting fee shall be prorated to the date of
his resignation and shall cease as of such date. Reference should be made to Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 1998 for
the effect of undoing the UIT Transaction.
The Company determined to expand into the internet travel
business for several reasons. Although the Company had begun to
generate revenues, the Company found that many limousine
providers were resisting the payment of commissions or fees in
connection with bookings on the Company's system resulting in a
much slower development of revenues for the Company than was
originally anticipated. Management evaluated the cost of
operations for a more extended period of time and determined
that the Company's available funds would be better spent in
other areas of the travel business. It therefore determined to
expand into the internet travel business. As a result, if the
shareholders approve the acquisition of the technology license
and certain related assets and the sale of the limousine
reservation business, the effect to shareholders is a
fundamental change in the nature of the business of the Company
from the limousine reservation business to an internet travel
business.
Disadvantages to Proposal No. 2 include a lack of operating
history with respect to the software relating to the internet
travel business. Although management expects web-site
development to continue through mid-1999, the internet web-site
is currently operational and independent travel consultants can
view videos and book car, air and hotel reservations directly
through the web-site, as well as research vacation packages and
cruise itineraries. The Company's independent travel consultants
are currently unable to book vacation and cruise packages in an
automated fashion through the web-site. In order to make these
types of reservations, the independent travel consultants are
instructed to contact the Company's service center, (operated
through Sammy's Travel World, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company) via toll-free telephone, fax or e-mail, whereby a live
NetCruise travel agent will then make the vacation or cruise
reservation. The Company intends to continually enhance its
technology to automate the booking process for cruise and
vacation reservations through its web-site. There can be no
assurance, though, that the Company will be able to achieve the
technological advancements necessary to automate the booking of
cruise and vacation reservations.
In addition, at the present time the Company only has a limited number of
individuals who have subscribed to be independent travel consultants. It is
important to note that the Company's customers consist of the independent travel
consultants as well as the clients of the independent travel consultants for
whom travel is booked. The Company initially acquired 280 independent travel
consultants as a result of the Company's acquisition of the assets of Sterling.
The Company is honoring the agreements the independent travel consultants made
with Sterling which were in place at the time the Company purchased Sterling's
assets. The subscription fees charged by the Company are significantly less than
those which had been charged by Sterling, although the renewal fees are the
same. This is true even though NetCruise will be providing additional services
not offered by Sterling, such as automated web-site booking capability and video
technology. As the independent travel consultants subscription agreements come
up for renewal, there is no guarantee that the independent travel consultants
will renew their agreements with the Company. Additionally, although the Company
believes that its national marketing campaign will be successful in the
recruitment of new independent travel consultants, there can be no assurance of
the effectiveness of the campaign.
The budgeted cost of launching the Company's marketing
campaign, which includes the development of a data base and
networking capability, is expected to be approximately
$1,342,000. Of such amount, approximately $198,000 was allocated
to complete development of the web-site, which is currently
operational. The Company intends to use $75,000 of the $198,000
to continue to enhance and upgrade the web-site. Such
improvements will include providing additional features to the
site, such as personal web pages for the independent travel
consultants, chat capability, on-line accounting information for
the independent travel consultants as well as client profiling.
The Company expects to continue upgrading the web-site as
appropriate. The remainder of the $1,342,000 will be used to
produce a television video infomercial and purchase media time.
The Company believes it will be able to finance such development
substantially from proceeds of a recent private placement in the
amount of $1,500,000, but there can be no assurance that such
funds will be sufficient. (The funds of the private placement
were received by the Company as follows: $200,000 in 1998,
$510,000 between January, 1999 and March, 1999 and $790,000 in
June, 1999.) In the event the Company decides to purchase
significant amounts of media time for the television
infomercial, it will need to raise additional funds. No
assurance can be made that the Company will be able to raise
such funds.
Initially revenues from the web-site will be derived from subscriptions fees of
the independent travel consultants along with commissions received from bookings
shared with the independent travel consultants. As the Company develops
management believes that the majority of the Company's revenue will be derived
from commissions earned from the sale of travel through the independent travel
consultants. The Company's business model is built around the sharing of
commissions with the independent travel consultants generated from travel
industry vendors such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, resort
properties, tour operators and cruise lines. The Company believes that
commission sharing with the independent travel consultant, which ranges from 50%
to 60% of the commissions received by NetCruise is a key enticement for
individuals to subscribe to become independent travel consultants. The
subscription and annual renewal fee for all independent travel consultants,
including the former Sterling Travel Consultants, is currently $95.00. While the
Company believes it will benefit from its portion of the commission revenues
generated, it also believes that significant revenues will be derived from other
key areas such as annual subscription fees from its independent travel
consultants, advertising through its web-site and incentive arrangements with
travel vendors and travel related product vendors (in addition to its share of
the standard travel commissions). However, a significant change in the
prevailing commission structure in the travel industry could have a detrimental
effect on the Company's ability to attract and retain independent travel
consultants and to benefit from the other revenue sources listed above, which
are substantially created through this core distribution system.
As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired the
internet travel web site called "NetCruise" and a perpetual,
world-wide technology license for "Parallel Addressing Video
Technology" for all travel related applications, along with all
of the custom software, computer systems and intellectual
properties. No royalty payments are required under the licensing
agreement for the "Parallel Addressing Video Technology" and the
license is exclusive as it relates to the technology as applied
to the travel industry. UIT has retained the right to the
technology for all other uses outside of the travel industry.
The intellectual property acquired consists of a license for the
"Parallel Addressing Video Technology" which includes the
NetCruise name, logo, trade-marks and service-marks. The company
did not acquire the patent to the "Parallel Addressing Video
Technology." Also included as part of the intellectual property
was an agreement between UIT and Internet Travel Network of Palo
Alto, CA which UIT transferred to the Company. This agreement
provides for a "private label" site on the Internet Travel
Network "booking engine". The agreement expires in April, 1999
and automatically renews for successive one year periods unless
either party gives notice, no later than 30 days prior to the
end of the period, of its intent not to renew. The Company has
renewed this agreement under the terms and conditions of the
original agreement. There is no cost associated with renewing
the agreement. The ITN "booking engine" is essentially a world
wide web based graphical user interface to the airline owned
Apollo computerized reservation system. This technology allows a
layperson with access to the internet to access the databases
and pricing systems used by travel agents to research and
procure air, car rental and hotel reservations. By "private
labeling" this functionality, the Company is able to offer its
travel consultants access to a leading travel system, while not
having to expend the Company's capital resources which would be
required to create its own access. The custom software acquired
by the Company consists of a video player program (called a ULI
player) that permits the end user to view video files, a cruise
database, a CD- ROM video disc database containing video images
of travel-related information and miscellaneous commercially
purchased software. The technological feasibility of the custom
software was established at the time of the acquisition, as a
working model of the custom software had been completed at that
time. The Company formed NetCruise as a wholly owned subsidiary
for the purpose of operating an internet travel business
featuring the technology obtained through this acquisition.
Although the Company only has a limited number of individuals
who have subscribed to be independent travel consultants, and
therefore a limited number of customers, the Company intends to
launch, through television advertising, an aggressive marketing
campaign inviting the general public, along with existing travel
agents, to become NetCruise travel consultants. The goal of the
Company's marketing campaign is to encourage individuals to
enroll as independent travel consultants by paying an annual fee
to the Company. The independent travel consultants will then be
able to make reservations either through the password protected
section of the NetCruise web site or via telephone, fax or
e-mail bookings with travel agents who work directly for
NetCruise. Non-members who visit the non-password protected
section of the NetCruise web-site (the "Visitor's Section")
shall have access to a portion of the site which contains
general information about the Company, describes the independent
travel consultant program and allows the public to request
information or enroll as an independent travel consultant. To
date, the Visitor's Section of the web-site is being used for
demonstration to potential travel consultants. The password
protected section allows independent travel consultants to see
vacation and cruise destinations in full motion video and stereo
audio and to make hotel, air, car reservations, as well as
research vacation packages and cruise itineraries. The Company's
independent travel consultants are currently unable to book
vacation and cruise packages in an automated fashion through the
web-site. In order to make these types of reservations, the
independent travel consultant must contact the Company's service
center, (operated through Sammy's Travel World, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company) via toll-free telephone, fax or
e-mail, whereby a live NetCruise travel agent will then make the
cruise reservation. The password protected section is only
accessible by company personnel and independent travel
consultants using a password.
The Company believes it will be successful in encouraging people to pay the
subscription fee and sign up as independent travel consultants because as an
independent travel consultant individuals will have an opportunity to earn a
commission on all reservations made by them. Airlines, hotels, car rental
companies, cruise lines, tour operators and other travel vendors will pay the
Company commissions for all sales generated by the Company. Such commissions
will be shared with the independent travel consultants. The Company hopes to
enroll both the general public and existing travel agents. The Company believes
that there is an emerging trend in the travel industry, whereby individuals who
are presently travel agents are leaving their salaried positions and moving into
positions similar to that of an independent travel consultant with their own
home based travel business. The Company believes that existing travel agents
will be drawn to the opportunity to earn commissions, create their own flexible
hours, maintain their client base and utilize their existing skills. Other
advantages of a home based travel business are no commuting to an office, low
overhead, no need to rent expensive airline owned computer reservation system
equipment and personal travel benefits. However, there can be no assurance that
the Company's marketing strategy directed to existing travel agents will be
successful. The Company, through a combination of direct response TV, print,
radio, and web-based advertising, plans to offer individuals an opportunity to
join NetCruise as independent travel consultants. Each new independent travel
consultant will receive a start-up kit consisting of a CD ROM library of video
destinations; a marketing kit which includes a guide to marketing an at-home
business, a training manual describing the travel industry, a welcome letter
containing a password for the web site and an outline of NetCruise policies and
procedures and full-service support from the Company's live travel agents.
"Parallel Addressing Video Technology" allows the independent travel consultants
to see a destination in full motion video and stereo audio never before
available on the internet, without waiting for a lengthy file download.
Utilizing this proprietary technology the NetCruise web site will interact with
the individual's PC, find the requested video clip on its CD ROM, and play it
locally in a clear, full screen mode. Included in the assets acquired by
NetCruise is an extensive library of video clips complete with music and
narratives in stereo, which will bring views of cruise ships, hotels, and
destinations from around the world to the user in seconds. When the travel
consultant is ready, he or she will be able to make airline, hotel and car
rental reservations quickly and easily via NetCruise's reservation web site, as
well as research vacation packages and cruise itineraries. The Company's
independent travel consultants are currently unable to book vacation and cruise
packages in an automated fashion through the web-site. In order to make these
types of reservations, the independent travel consultant is instructed to
contact the Company's service center, (operated through Sammy's Travel World, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) via toll-free telephone, fax or e-mail,
whereby a live NetCruise travel agent will then make the cruise reservation.
"Parallel Addressing Video Technology" provides zero-wait time, full motion
video and stereo audio to the independent travel consultants interacting with
the Company's internet web-site. Unlike various forms of streaming video, live
media and internet video broadcasts, this technology does not rely on bandwidth
as the medium for delivery of video. UIT and its parent, ULC, developed this
technology and filed for patents in July 1997. Although the General public will
be able to access much of the site to obtain information and enroll as an
independent travel consultant, the Company intends that only participating
travel consultants who have paid a fee to the Company and received a password
will be able to access the reservation area of the site.
If at any point the individual requires additional expertise, a personal
NetCruise travel agent will be available by phone to guide them through the
process. On February 1, 1999 the Company acquired Sammy's Travel World, Inc., a
full-service travel agency specializing in leisure and corporate travel and
serving the New York City and northern New Jersey area ("Sammy's"), with annual
gross bookings of approximately $1,800,000. "Bookings" consists of the total
dollar amount of airline tickets sold, cruises sold, and hotel and car
reservations made. Sammy's will provide, when necessary, full service support
via telephone to the Company's independent travel consultants. Sammy's is now a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and has five (5) employees. The purchase
price for the acquisition was 36,600 shares of the Company's common stock which,
for accounting purposes is being valued at $1.50 per share or an aggregate of
$54,900. The Company acquired the following assets from Sammy's: telephones,
desks, chairs, fax and copy machines, filing cabinets, safe, shelves,
typewriters and computers.
Mr. Brian Shuster has been appointed the President of
NetCruise . Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Mr. Brian
Shuster will receive $5,000 per month for his services as a
consultant to the Company. In addition, Mr.Brian Shuster has
been serving as a director of the Company since the transaction
closed and has been nominated for election as a director of the
Company. Mr. Harry Shuster was also elected as a director of the
Company and the Chairman of NetCruise pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement, but has since resigned from both positions
due to personal reasons.
Management of the Company had been exploring a number of ways to more fully and
quickly develop its internet travel business, while still maintaining an
interest in the limousine reservation business, through its ownership interest
in GEN O2, Inc., but with a significant reduction in the resources the Company
had to commit to the reservation operation. Management of the Company believes
that the NetCruise internet travel business, which is not compatible with the
limousine reservation business, provides the Company's shareholders with a
potential for a greater return.
On November 5 , 1998, in order to augment the Company's entry
into the internet travel business, the Company entered into an
Asset Purchase Agreement with Sterling AKG Corp. d/b/a Sterling
Travel ("Sterling"), in which the Company purchased all the
assets relating to Sterling's network of independent travel
consultants ("Sterling Travel Consultants") for a total purchase
price of 25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock which, for
accounting purposes, is being valued at $1.50 per share for an
aggregate of $37,500. An additional 17,500 shares ("Escrow
Shares") will be held in escrow by counsel to the Company. If
the Company does not achieve $3,000,000 of gross sales from the
sale of travel services, including renewal fees from the
Sterling Travel Consultants, over the initial twelve month
period beginning on November 1, 1998 and ending on October 31,
1999, the Escrow Shares shall immediately be returned to the
Company. If the Company achieves $3,000,000 of gross sales from
Sterling Travel Consultants over the initial twelve month period
as described herein, the Escrow Shares will be released by the
Company.
Included in the assets purchased by the Company was a list of
Sterling Travel Consultants (both active and inactive) that had
done or were doing business with Sterling. Also included in the
assets purchased were contacts, files, correspondence, earning
records, a data base of former and current customers of Sterling
estimated at approximately 20,000 entries, property and
equipment, including desks, chairs, fax and copy machines,
filing cabinets, computers and miscellaneous office supplies.
The data base of former and current customers also included the
Sterling Travel Consultants, as they were considered customers,
not employees of Sterling and the names of travel agents who had
done business with Sterling as Sterling Travel Consultants. In
addition, included were agreements with such Sterling Travel
Consultants setting forth the commissions they could earn and
operational matters relating to their position as an independent
travel consultant.
The Company's current independent travel consultants are all former Sterling
Travel Consultants whose contracts were assigned to the Company from Sterling as
part of the acquisition and who paid their subscription fee to Sterling. In the
event the independent travel consultants (formerly the Sterling Travel
Consultants) desire to renew their contracts, a renewal subscription fee will be
paid to the Company.
Since on-line transactions can be faster, less expensive and more convenient
than transactions conducted via traditional means, a growing number of consumers
are transacting business over the World Wide Web. Examples of such transactions
include buying consumer goods, trading securities, purchasing airline tickets
and paying bills. Based upon its research and discussions with individuals
knowledgeable in electronic commerce on the World Wide Web, management believes
that 27% of adult World Wide Web users made on-line purchases in 1997 and that
50% of adult World Wide Web users will make on-line purchases in 2000.
Management believes that as electronic commerce expands, advertisers and direct
marketers will increasingly seek to use the World Wide Web to locate customers,
advertise their products and services and facilitate transactions.
The Company also believes that lodging and airline travel will be a major leader
in this market with total on-line travel revenues possibly reaching over $50
billion by 2001. With travel taking such a large portion of on-line sales,
management of the Company expects that the enhanced travel services offered by
NetCruise will attract a wide range of internet using consumers enabling
NetCruise to become a significant participant in internet travel. In the event
shareholders do not approve this Proposal No. 2 the Company intends to continue
its entry into the internet travel business either by negotiating a licensing
agreement with UIT for the use of its technology license and certain related
assets or by utilizing alternative technologies. In the event that Proposal No.
2 is not approved by the Shareholders and Proposal No. 3 is approved, the
Company will not own the limousine reservation business but will continue to
expand into the internet travel business.
Management of the Company is confident that there were no conflicts of interest
in negotiating the acquisition of the internet travel business and that all
negotiations with UIT were at "arms length".
Based upon the presently outstanding number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company (6,749,068), UIT would hold 3,600,000 shares (9,934,694
shares outstanding) or approximately 36.2% of the stock of the
Company, assuming issuance of the full 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock (consisting of 900,000 shares of Common Stock
currently held by UIT and an additional 1,100,000 shares of
Common Stock to be issued to UIT upon conversion of the Series B
Preferred stock in the event the Shareholders approve Proposal
No. 2) and exercise of the Warrants. One warrant is exercisable
for 800,000 shares at $2.50 per share and may be exercised
between April 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002, but only if NetCruise
achieves profits equal to or exceeding $5,000,000 for the years
1999, 2000 and 2001. The other Warrant is exercisable for
800,000 shares at $6.00 per share and may be exercised between
April 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002, but only if NetCruise achieves
profits equal to or exceeding $10,000,000 for the years 1999,
2000 and 2001.
The acquisition of the technology license and certain related
assets as described in this Proposal No. 2 will have no immediate tax effect on
the Company.
Ratification of the acquisition of the technology license and
certain related assets from UIT and the approval of the issuance
of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company and two
Warrants to UIT requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast at the meeting by holders of the Company's Common
and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon. Pursuant
to an Amendment Agreement made in connection with the Asset
Purchase Agreement, directors, officers and certain principal
shareholders of the Company, who in the aggregate hold
approximately 23.2% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock
and all of the Company's Preferred Stock, have agreed to vote
"FOR" Proposal No. 2. UIT will not vote on Proposal No. 2.
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" the
ratification of the acquisition of a technology license and certain related
assets from UIT and for the approval of the issuance of Common Stock and
Warrants to UIT and. (Item No. 2 on the proxy card).

PROPOSAL NO. 3
RATIFICATION OF THE SALE OF THE LIMOUSINE RESERVATION
SYSTEM BUSINESS TO GEN O2, INC., A NEWLY ORGANIZED
CORPORATION FORMED BY MARK A. KENNY, A FORMER DIRECTOR
AND FOUNDER OF THE COMPANY.
On November 6, 1998 the Company sold the limousine reservation system business
by entering into an Acquisition Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") by and between
the Company and Corporate Travel Link, Inc. ("Travel Link"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the sellers in the transaction) and TranspoNet (a
non-affiliated company), Mark A. Kenny, Paul Murray and GEN 02, Inc. (the
purchaser in the transaction), a newly organized corporation formed by Mark A.
Kenny, a former director and founder of the Company. This sale will allow the
Company to concentrate its resources and efforts on the continued build-up of
its internet travel business.
Prior to the current sale, the principal business of the
Company had been the development of a computerized reservation
and payment system known as "Genisys Reservation System". This
System accepts and processes reservations and payments for
ground transportation services made by its customers through
computerized reservations systems owned and operated by others,
using the trade name "Genisys Reservation System".
Management of the Company set revenue objectives for the
limousine reservation business and made the decision to review
the operation at the end of the third quarter to determine the
best approach to maximize utilization of the Company's
resources. The limousine reservation business did not meet its
revenue objectives and in early September 1998, the Company
decided to seek a buyer or joint venture partner for its
limousine reservation business.
In addition, although the Company has begun to generate
revenues, the Company found that many limousine providers were
resisting the payment of commissions or fees in connection with
bookings on the Company's system until such time as the
potential benefits of the Company's system could be better
qualified. This resulted in a much slower development of
revenues for the Company than was originally anticipated.
Management estimated the cost of operations for a more extended
period of time and determined that the Company's available funds
would be better spent in other areas of the travel business. It
therefore determined to expand into the internet travel
business. As a result of the shareholders approval, the
acquisition of the technology license and certain related assets
and the sale of the limousine reservation business the effect to
shareholders is a fundamental change in the nature of the
business of the Company from the limousine reservation business
to an internet travel business.
The Company does not believe that it will, through GEN O2, Inc., be exposed to
losses from continued resistance of payment of fees or commissions to GEN O2,
Inc. The Company believes that GEN O2, Inc. has a reasonable chance of success
in the future. This is because GEN O2, Inc., in response to market forces, has
recently altered its marketing approach by offering a tiered pricing model. This
pricing strategy provides a lower net cost for high volume limousine companies.
This approach has been met with a favorable response from the market to date.
GEN O2, Inc. has also reduced costs by reducing payroll, lowering operating and
development costs and lowering rent expenses. Additionally, GEN O2, Inc.'s
partnership with the computer reservation systems of the major airlines ("CRSs,"
consisting of SABRE, APOLLO and WORLDSPAN) made recent price concessions to GEN
O2, Inc. in an effort to capture market share through lowered transaction
pricing. This reduction in fees from the CRSs should support GEN O2 Inc.'s
efforts to increase the number of transactions flowing through the system by
reducing limousine transaction costs to the car and limousine service providers.
The Company cannot predict with certainty however, if the new marketing approach
will be effective or if the CRSs will continue to support the GEN O2, Inc.
pricing model.
Disadvantages to ratification of Proposal No. 3 include the
fact that as part of the sale, the Company will be retaining a
32.66% interest in GEN 02, Inc. and will be loaning to GEN 02,
Inc. a $135,000 installment loan and a $40,000 bridge loan. The
TranspoNet Companies, Inc. ("TranspoNet") another 32.66%
shareholder of GEN 02, Inc., is providing, commencing December
10, 1998, $20,000 per month to GEN 02, Inc., for an aggregate of
$240,000. TranspoNet is not affiliated with the Company or any
of its shareholders. The primary capitalization of GEN 02, Inc.,
is being provided by the loans from the Company and TranspoNet.
In addition, the sole asset of GEN 02, Inc. is the limousine
reservation business. As a result, the Company will absorb all
losses to the extent of the assets transferred ($744,122).
Although there are no minimum contingent payments, the Company
has begun to receive minimal contingent payments from GEN 02,
Inc., consisting of two payments totaling $3,656.20. However, it
is possible that the Company will not receive significant
contingent payments from GEN 02, Inc. over the 5 year period.
Shareholders should note that they are being asked to ratify the
sale of the limousine business to GEN 02, Inc., a company
organized by Mark A. Kenny, who is a former director of the
Company. The sale of the limousine reservation business was
negotiated with GEN 02, Inc. while Mr. Kenny was still a
director of the Company, although he did not participate in the
directors analysis and decision to sell the business to GEN 02,
Inc.
In the event that Shareholders do not approve Proposal No. 3,
the Company will be required to raise additional capital to
bring the limousine reservation business to full operation. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to raise
such funds. In the event shareholders do not ratify the
acquisition of a technology license and certain related assets
from UIT and approve the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to UIT, as described in Proposal No. 2,
the Company intends to continue to expand into the internet
travel business either by negotiating a licensing agreement with
UIT for the use of its technology license and certain related
assets or by utilizing alternative technologies. In the event
that Proposal No. 2 is not approved by the Shareholders and this
Proposal No. 3 is approved, the Company will not own the
limousine reservation business or the internet travel business
but will continue to expand into the internet travel business.
Management is of the opinion that the costs in developing the
new line of business is less than the costs required to maintain
the limousine reservation business until such time as revenues
will be able to cover the costs of operation. Further, it is
management's opinion that the internet travel business can be
brought to market sooner and will provide, on a long term basis,
a greater return to shareholders.
Under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the sellers will sell
and transfer certain contractual rights and obligations of the
Company, all of the assets of Travel Link which are utilized in
connection with the ownership, operation and marketing of the
Genisys Reservation System and its entire ownership interest in
ProSoft to the purchaser in the transaction, constituting
approximately 20% of the total assets of the Company. ProSoft is
an 80% owned subsidiary of the Company which was acquired by the
Company in June, 1997. ProSoft is a software development company
which developed the software for the Company's computerized
limousine reservation and payment system. Paul Murray, a former
employee of the Company and President and Shareholder of
ProSoft, is also a shareholder of GEN O2, Inc.
The Company sold these assets, which had a book value of
$744,122 at November 6, 1998, net of $83,000 of indebtedness
assumed by GEN O2, Inc. for (i) 2,450 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock of GEN O2, Inc., constituting a
32.66% interest in GEN O2, Inc., which the Company carries on
its balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 at an asset value of
$624,204 and (ii) certain contingent payments over a period of 5
years, totaling $1,080,000 if all payments to the Company are
realized, however, since there are no minimum contingent
payments, it is possible that the Company will receive no
significant contingent payments from GEN 02, Inc. The terms are
as follows:
a. For each completed limousine transaction through the current system from
corporate users, a payment of $0.20 per transaction with a $100,000 maximum
payment per year for five years.
b. For each completed limousine transaction through the Almost Real Time System
which was (the "ART System") under development by the sellers prior to the
execution of the sales agreement and is to be completed by GEN 02, Inc., that
will be directed toward leisure customers, a payment of $0.20 per transaction
with a $100,000 maximum payment in the first year and a $0.30 payment per
transaction with a $120,000 maximum payment per year thereafter.
c. If the system and the ART System are merged at any time in the future, the
sellers shall receive a payment of $0.25 per completed transaction with a
$200,000 maximum payment in the first year and a $220,000 maximum payment per
year thereafter.
d. If the payments are not reached in a particular year, the payments defined in
letters a-c above will have a carry-over to the following year.
e. In no event shall any payments defined in letters a-c above be due to the
sellers for transactions completed after December 10, 2003.
f. For the transfer of the assets by the sellers and the assumption of certain
liabilities of the sellers by the purchaser as described above along with the
agreement by the sellers to provide the purchaser with a series of loans, the
purchaser granted an equity interest to the sellers in GEN O2, Inc. equal to
32.66% of the equity of GEN O2, Inc. The loans provided by the sellers will
include a ninety day secured bridge loan in the amount of $40,000 secured by
22,857 shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by Mr. Kenny, a secured loan
of $135,000 payable commencing in the second year and secured by 77,143 shares
of Common Stock of the Company owned by Mr. Kenny. Mr. Kenny has also pledged
23,428 shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by him to secure the return of
a security deposit to the Company and 68,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock to secure minimum payments which are required to be made by the Company
under certain contracts which were transferred to the purchaser in connection
with the sale. g. A second 32.66% shareholder of GEN O2, Inc., TranspoNet, has
committed to provide funding for the purchaser of up to $240,000 in the form of
a series of loans. TranspoNet has a right to convert the unpaid principal of the
loans at any time into a maximum number of shares of common stock of the
purchaser not to exceed an additional 6% equity interest in the purchaser.
The Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Company and TranspoNet in accordance
with the transaction are part of a class of preferred stock of GEN O2, Inc.
designated as "Series A Preferred Convertible Stock" and the number of shares of
preferred stock constituting such class is 4,900. The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock issued to the Company together with the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock issued to TranspoNet constitute all of the authorized shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock of GEN O2, Inc. So long as any share of Series A
Preferred Stock remains outstanding, GEN O2, Inc. shall not authorize the
issuance or issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any
shares of any series or class of stock ranking senior to, or on a parity with,
the Series A Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of GEN O2, Inc. without the prior written consent of at least a
majority of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
The par value of the Series A Preferred Stock is $0.0001 per share and no
dividends shall be declared or paid on the Series A Preferred Stock. In the
event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
GEN O2, Inc., the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive out of the assets of GEN O2, Inc. available for distribution to
stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of any
other series or class of stock of GEN O2, Inc., a liquidating preferential
distribution in an amount equal to $400.00 per share of Series A Preferred
Stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on
all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of GEN O2, Inc. and shall be
entitled to one vote for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have cumulative voting rights. At any
time and from time to time, upon notice to GEN O2, Inc., the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert each share of Series A
Preferred Stock into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of
GEN O2, Inc. subject to adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends,
reverse stock splits or recapitalization.
Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into common
stock of GEN O2, , Inc. the Company and TranspoNet will each own
2,450 shares or 32.66%, respectively, of the issued and
outstanding common stock of GEN O2, Inc. It is anticipated that
the Purchaser will issue an additional 2,500 shares of common
stock in the near future, thereby diluting the ownership
interest of the Company and TranspoNet in GEN O2, Inc. to 24.5%.
The Company's influence in GEN O2, Inc. is limited to the right
to elect one member of a five (5) member Board of Directors.
In the event shareholders do not approve the sale of the
limousine reservation business as described in this Proposal No.
3 the Company intends to either find another purchaser of the
limousine reservation business or raise additional capital to
bring the limousine reservation business to full operation while
continuing its entry into the internet travel business. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to raise
such funds.
Shareholders are being asked to ratify the sale of the
Limousine Reservation System business since it represented the
primary focus of the Company. Since the Limousine Reservation
business did not meet its revenue objectives and would require
additional capital infusion, management decided it would be in
the best interest of the shareholders if the Company were to
concentrate its efforts on the NetCruise internet travel
business. Reference should be made to the Pro Forma Balance
Sheet as of September 30, 1998 and notes thereto contained in
the Company's Form 10-QSB, as amended, (which gives effect to
this transaction as of this date) and to the last paragraph of
Note 6 thereto.
Management of the Company believes that the sale of the limousine reservation
business to GEN O2, Inc. as described in this Proposal No. 3 will have no
material tax effect on the Company.
Ratification of the sale of the Limousine Reservation System business requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by the
holders of the Company's Common and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote
thereon.
The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote "FOR" the
ratification of the sale of the Limousine Reservation System business. (Item no.
3 on the Proxy Card).
PROPOSAL NO. 4
TO AMEND ARTICLE FIRST OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously adopted, subject to
stockholder approval, a resolution to amend Article FIRST of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Genisys
Reservation Systems, Inc. to netcruise.com, inc.
Reasons for the Proposal
With the acquisition of certain assets and the technology
license from UIT, the Company expanded its travel business such
that the current name is no longer descriptive of the Company's
business. Management is of the opinion that the proposed new
name is more descriptive. Through NetCruise the Company plans to
become a provider of Internet travel services and the Board of
Directors has determined that it is in the Company's best
interest to change its name to be more identified with that of
the Company's business, and has adopted a resolution amending
Article FIRST of the Certificate of Incorporation to reflect
this change. Management does not believe that there are any
significant disadvantages to changing the name to netcruise.com,
inc.
The resolution approved by the Board of Directors amending
Article FIRST is as follows:
"FIRST: The name of the Corporation is netcruise.com, inc."
Approval of the amendment to Article FIRST of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast at the meeting by holders of the
Company's Common and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote
thereon.
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" approval of
this Proposal No. 4.
PROPOSAL NO. 5
TO AMEND ARTICLE FOURTH OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously adopted,
subject to stockholder approval, a resolution to amend Article
FOURTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to amend
and restate the provisions of the Company's authorized Common
and Preferred Stock to correct certain inconsistencies.
Reasons for the Proposal
The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously adopted,
subject to stockholder approval, a resolution amending and
restating the first paragraph and paragraphs (a) and (b) of
Article FOURTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to
amend and restate the provisions of the Company's authorized
Preferred Stock to correct certain inconsistencies in such
provisions as they now exist. The prior version of the
Certificate of Incorporation does not describe the rights of the
holders of Common Stock. The restated version sets forth clearly
the voting, dividend, dissolution and liquidation of the Common
Stock consistent with the laws of the State of New Jersey. The
description of the Preferred Stock has also been amended to
correct certain inconsistencies found in the current version.
These included conflicting descriptions of the dividends.
Currently description of the dividend rights is contradictory,
as dividends are described as being both cumulative and
non-cumulative. The new provision eliminates both descriptions
and simply provides that the Board of Directors has the right to
determine if dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative.
Also, in the prior revision the Board of Directors has the right
to determine liquidation preferences in an amount equal to the
par value. This provision is eliminated in the amended version,
with the Board of Directors having the right to determine the
liquidation preference. These corrections are needed for the
Series B Preferred Stock to be issued to UIT as described in
Proposal No. 2. The amended version also differs from the
current Article of Incorporation in that it gives the Board of
Directors the power to determine and fix voting power, declare
dividend rights without limitation and to determine the rank of
any series of Preferred Stock issued. A disadvantage to amending
the Certificate of Incorporation to restate the provisions of
the Preferred and Common Stock of the Company is that it may be
difficult for the Company to utilize the authorized preferred
shares for acquisitions, financing and other proper corporate
purposes.
The resolution approved by the Board of Directors amending and
restating Article FOURTH is as follows:
"FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the
Corporation shall be authorized to issue shall be 100,000,000
shares consisting of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a
par value per share of $.000l ("Common Stock"), and 25,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock with a par value per share of $.0001
("Preferred Stock"). The following is a statement of the
designations and the powers, privileges, rights,
qualifications, limitations or restrictions in respect of each
class of capital stock of the Corporation:
(a) The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and
privileges of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and
qualified by any and all rights and privileges of the holders of
Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board
of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any
series. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders
(and written actions in lieu of meetings). There shall be no
cumulative voting of shares of the Common Stock. Dividends shall
be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds legally
available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation, all assets of the Company
available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock shall
be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock,
if any, and the holders of the Common Stock, subject to any
preferential rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock.
(b) Preferred Stock may be issued at any time from time to
time in one or more series, each of such series to have such
powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications,
limitations or restrictions as provided in this Certificate of
Incorporation or by law or in the resolution or resolutions
providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided.
Authority is hereby granted to the Board of Directors from time
to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and
in connection with the creation of any such series, by
resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of' the
shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting powers, full or
limited, or no voting powers, and such designations,
preferences, powers and relative participating, optional or
other special rights and qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, dividend
rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation
preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolution
or resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter
permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series
of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be
superior or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of
any other series to the extent permitted by law. The resolutions
providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may
provide that such resolutions may be amended by subsequent
resolutions adopted in the same manner as the preceding
resolutions. All shares of Preferred Stock of the same series
shall be identical with each other in all respects."
The Company is currently authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, having a par value of $.0001 per share of which
6,749,068 are outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles
the holder thereof to one vote on each matter submitted to the
stockholders of the Company for a vote thereon. The holders of
Common Stock: (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from
funds legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of
the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders
of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Company; (iii) do not have preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable thereto; and (iv) as noted above, are
entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters
submitted to stockholders for a vote at any meeting of
stockholders. The Company has not paid any dividends on its
Common Stock to date. The Company anticipates that, for the
foreseeable future, it will retain earnings, if any, to finance
the continuing operations of its business. The payment of
dividends will depend upon, among other things, capital
requirements and operating and financial conditions of the
Company.
Approval of the amendment to Article FOURTH of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast at the meeting by holders of the
Company's Common and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote
thereon.
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" approval of
this Proposal No. 5.
PROPOSAL NO. 6
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors has appointed Wiss & Company, LLP as
independent auditors to examine and report on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the year ending December
31, 1998 and 1999, subject to stockholder ratification.
During the year ending December 31, 1997 and 1998, Wiss &
Company, LLP provided the Company with audit services, including
examinations of and reporting on the Company's consolidated
financial statements, as well as those of its subsidiaries.
Audit services also included a review of filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB.
Ratification of the appointment of Wiss & Company, LLP as
independent auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority
of the votes cast at the meeting by holders of the Company's
Common and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon.
A representative of Wiss & Company, LLP will be present at the
Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if
he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond
to appropriate questions.
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote
"FOR" ratification of this appointment (Item No. 6 on the proxy card).
