Proxy Statement
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
December 22, 1997
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of Casdim
International Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in
connection with the Annual Meeting of the Company's Shareholders (the "Annual
Meeting") to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Monday, December 22, 1997, at
the offices of the Company, 150 East 58th Street, 17th floor, New York, New
York, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Board of Directors of
the Company is soliciting proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting.
This Proxy Statement and attached Notice of Annual Meeting, the enclosed
proxy card and the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are expected to
be first mailed to shareholders on December 1, 1997.
Proxy Procedure
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on November 26, 1997
(the "Record Date"), are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote in person or
by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof.
The Company's Board of Directors solicits proxies so that each shareholder
has the opportunity to vote on the proposals to be considered at the Annual
Meeting. Shareholders are urged to mark the boxes on the proxy card to indicate
how their shares are to be voted. When a proxy card is returned properly signed
and dated, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the
instructions marked on the proxy card. If a shareholder returns a signed and
dated proxy card but does not mark the appropriate boxes, the shares represented
by that proxy card will be voted for the election as directors of the five
persons nominated herein and for the other proposal described herein. The Board
of Directors is currently unaware of any other matters to be presented for
action at the Annual Meeting, but the proxy card gives the individuals named as
proxies discretionary authority to vote the shares represented on any other
matter that is properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting.
A shareholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time before it is voted
by: (i) giving notice of revocation in writing to the Secretary of the Company
at the address given above; (ii) submitting a proxy card bearing a later date;
or (iii) appearing in person and voting at the Annual Meeting. If a shareholder
attends the Annual Meeting, he or she may vote by ballot.
<PAGE>
Cost of Solicitation
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. Proxies may be
solicited in person or by telephone or other means by directors, officers or
other regular employees of the Company, who will not be specially compensated
therefor. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to the
beneficial owners of stock in accordance with the regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission concerning the forwarding of proxies and proxy material
to the beneficial owners of the stock.
Quorum and Voting
The outstanding voting stock of the Company as of the Record Date consisted
of 15,334,001 shares of Common Stock, each of which is entitled to one vote. A
majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, represented in person or
by proxy at the Annual Meeting, will constitute a quorum.
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, i.e., a shareholder
can vote all his or her shares for each of up to five persons, and the five
persons who receive the highest number of votes cast in favor of their election
will be elected to the Board of Directors. The proposal to approve the
appointment of Hocker, Lovelett, Hargens & Yennie, P.C., as the Company's
auditors for the year ending December 31, 1997 (the "Auditors Proposal") will
require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the Auditors
Proposal. Thus, shareholders who do not vote on, or who vote to abstain from,
the Auditors Proposal will not affect the outcome of the Auditors Proposal,
provided that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. A broker who holds
shares of Common Stock as nominee for a beneficial owner will have discretionary
authority to vote such shares for the election of directors and the Auditors
Proposal, if the broker has not received voting instructions from such
beneficial owner by the tenth day before the Annual Meeting, provided that this
Proxy Statement is transmitted to such beneficial owner at least 15 days before
the Annual Meeting.
Management has been advised by Yehuda Shimshon, the Company's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Cedarwood Trading & Investment Ltd.
("Cedarwood"), who together are the beneficial owners of approximately 53.8% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, that they presently intend to vote in
favor of all five of the nominees for director proposed below, and in favor of
the Auditors Proposal.

I. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the due election and qualification of
their successors. Duly executed and returned proxies will be voted, unless
otherwise specified, in favor of the election as directors of the five persons
hereinafter named. Should any of the nominees not be available for election, the
proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of
Directors. It is not expected that any of the nominees will be unavailable. All

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In October 1995, Casdim Israel, an Israeli wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, entered into an agreement with CSS Ltd., a company wholly-owned by Mr.
Yehuda Shimshon, who beneficially owns (directly and through his control of
Cedarwood) approximately 53.8% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock. Pursuant to this agreement, Casdim Israel paid CSS Ltd. $700,000
for services and products to be supplied by CSS Ltd. to Casdim Israel. These
products and services included: (i) adaptation of the Scope(TM) LIS system
operating in the 140 laboratories of Kupat Holim Klalit ("Kupat Holim"), Israel
largest health maintenance organization, to work with the medical kiosk; (ii)
development and implementation of a central data base for laboratory test
results; (iii) implementation of the "Laboratory Test Results Central Data Base"
to work with the 140 laboratories and 400 clinics of Kupat Holim; and (iv)
communication software and adaptation of various interfaces between CSS Ltd. and
Casdim Israel's products. The consideration was determined based upon actual
man-hours spent in providing the services. The agreement also provided that in
the event Kupat Holim or other companies purchased the above-mentioned products
from CSS Ltd., the proceeds, up to the sum of $700,000 would be repaid to Casdim
Israel. To date, CSS Ltd. has paid Casdim Israel $50,000. Mr. Yehuda Shimshon
has agreed to place 500,000 of his shares of Common Stock of the Company in
escrow to guarantee the performance of CSS Ltd. pursuant to the agreement with
Casdim Israel. Such shares will remain in escrow until the performance of the
obligation under the agreement is complete.
7
<PAGE>
Also in October 1995, Casdim Israel loaned CSS Ltd. $300,000 at a rate of
interest linked to the Israeli consumer price index, which loan was repaid in
1996. In January 1995, Casdim Israel purchased a pending patent from CSS Ltd.
relating to the medical multi-media kiosks for the sum of $500,000.
On November 21, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Casdim
Interactive Systems USA, Inc. ("Casdim USA") and Mr. Yehuda Shimshon. Mr.
Shimshon acted on behalf of himself and Cedarwood, a company in which he holds
the controlling interest. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the
Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Casdim USA, the owner
of 100% of the voting and equity shares of Casdim Israel, in exchange for
425,000,000 shares of the Company issued to Mr. Shimshon and Cedarwood in equal
amounts. At the time of the exchange, Mr. Shimshon and Cedarwood were each 50%
shareholders of Casdim USA. The Exchange Agreement, which became effective on
December 11, 1995, was approved at a special meeting of the shareholders of the
Company held on October 24, 1995 at which the shareholders also approved: (i)
renaming the Company Casdim International Systems, Inc.; (ii) the 50:1 stock
split of 76,700,000 shares, the then outstanding number of shares of the
Company, into 1,534,000 shares; (iii) the relocation of the Company's
headquarters from Colorado to Nevada; and (iv) the appointment of Mr. Shimshon
as President and Chairman of the Board. The exchange transaction resulted in a
change of control in the Company and as of December 31, 1995, the Company had
9,634,000 shares outstanding, of which 44.1% was owned by each of Mr. Shimshon
and Cedarwood.
In July 1996, the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement with
WEDA Consultants N.V. ("WEDA"), a project consulting firm with which David
Tamir, a director of the Company, is affiliated. Under the terms of the
consulting agreement, WEDA received a monthly retainer of $10,000 and was
granted options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, which were to vest
ratably over two years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant. The
agreement was terminated in April 1997 and no options are currently outstanding.
On June 1, 1997, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Medical
Visions, Inc. ("Medical Visions"), a New York corporation in which Mr. Yehuda
Shimshon has a controlling interest, pursuant to which Medical Visions subleased
approximately one third of the Company's executive offices at 150 East 58th
Street, New York, New York. The sublease has a term of four years and eleven
months expiring on May 2, 2002. The annual rent is calculated based on the
pro-rata usage of the space by Medical Visions, i.e., approximately $44,700.
Should Medical Vision occupy more or less space during the term of the sublease,
the rent will be adjusted.
II. APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The following resolution will be offered by the Board of Directors at the
Annual Meeting:
"RESOLVED, that the appointment of Hocker, Lovelett, Hargens & Yennie,
P.C. by the Board of Directors of the Company to conduct the annual
audit of the financial statements of Casdim International Systems,
Inc. for the year ending December 31, 1997, is ratified, confirmed and
approved."

<PAGE>
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing proposal for the
following reasons:
The Board of Directors of the Company first appointed Hocker, Lovelett,
Hargens & Yennie, P.C. as its auditors in 1995 and has reappointed the firm as
auditors since such time. Hocker, Lovelett, Hargens & Yennie, P.C. has no
relationship with the Company or with any affiliate of the Company except as
auditors. The Board of Directors is convinced that Hocker, Lovelett, Hargens &
Yennie, P.C. has the necessary knowledge of the Company's operations, personnel,
professional qualifications and independence to act as the Company's auditors.
The Board of Directors has again selected Hocker, Lovelett, Hargens & Yennie,
P.C. as the Company's auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997 and
recommends that the shareholders ratify and approve the selection.
A representative of Hocker, Lovelett, Hargens & Yennie, P.C. will not be
present at the Annual Meeting.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors does not intend to bring any matters before the
Annual Meeting other than those specifically set forth in the attached Notice of
the Annual Meeting and knows of no matters to be brought before the Annual
Meeting by others. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting,
it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote such
proxy in accordance with the judgment of the Board of Directors.
Shareholders of the Company may submit proposals for possible inclusion in
the proxy material distributed by the Company for future meetings of its
shareholders. In order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy material for
the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders, a shareholder's proposal must be
received not later than August 3, 1998 at the Company's headquarters, 150 East
58th Street, New York, New York 10155, Attention: Secretary.
