DESCRIPTION OF AGREEMENT
In December 1996, the Company entered into written Employee Stock Option
Plans whereby it has agreed to issue the following stock options to the
following individuals: Dan Rouse (500,000 shares); Mark Doskocil (50,000
shares); Deborah Murphy (100,000 shares); Jane Yennie (50,000 shares); Rich
Maier (50,000 shares); Teemu Kivviko (50,000 shares); Deborah Hill (2,000,000
shares) and Ronald J. Gelet (4,000,000). With the exception of Mr. Gelet, whose
option is exercisable at $0.12 per share, all the other options are exercisable
at a price of $0.10 per share. All the options will be exercisable at any time
after January 1, 1997; however, with respect to Dan Rouse, Mark Doskocil,
Deborah Murphy, Jane Yennie, Rich Maier and Teemu Kivviko the options are
exercisable at the rate of 40% in 1997 and 20% each year thereafter. Ms. Hill's
and Mr. Gelet's are exercisable in full at any time after January 1, 1997. In
addition, if any option holder ceases to be employed by the Company, any options
not vested terminate. With respect to vested options, the employee has two years
within which to exercise the warrants.
REGISTRATION OF THE SHARES
Pursuant to Employee Stock Option Plans, the Company has agreed to
register the Shares on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with their original issuance to the
consultants. This Prospectus relates to a Registration Statement on Form S-8
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof
and which became effective as of such filing.
RESALE OF THE SHARES
The Agreements do not impose any restrictions on the resale of the
Shares. However, if a recipient of Shares is or becomes an "affiliate" of the
Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act, at any such time, such person will be subject to the limitations on the
amount of securities which may be sold imposed under Rule 144(e)(1). Rule
144(e)(1) generally provides that the number of shares of Common Stock which may
be sold in any three month period may not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the
outstanding Common Stock as shown by the most recent published report of the
Company or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading in the Common
Stock, as reported through NASDAQ, for the four weeks preceding the filing of a
notice of proposed sale of the Common Stock, if required under Rule 144(b) under
the Securities Act, or preceding the date of receipt of the order to execute the
transaction by the broker or the date of execution directly with a market maker.
Additional information regarding the Agreements not set forth in this
Prospectus may be obtained obtained from the Company at 15415 Cabrito Avenue,
Suite A, Van Nuys, CA 91406.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
2
<PAGE>
At the time of issuance of the Shares, each of the consultants
recognized ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to
the then fair market value of the Shares received by such consultant. Each
consultant will recognize gain or loss on the subsequent sale of the Shares in
an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the tax basis
of such Shares, which will equal the amount included in the consultant's income
by reason of the issuance of the Shares. Provided such Shares are held as a
capital asset, such gain or loss will be long-term or short-term capital gain or
loss depending upon whether the Shares have been held for more than one year.
The Agreement is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and is not qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code.
This discussion is only a summary of certain significant federal income
tax consequences and each consultant should consult an independent tax adviser
as to all of the federal and state income tax consequences relating to the
receipt or sale of the Shares.

The documents incorporated by reference in Item 3 of Part II of the Form
S-8, and any other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 428(b),
promulgated under the Securities Act, are available from the Company, without
charge, upon written or oral request. Requests for documents should be directed

date of filing of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The authorized capital common stock of the Company consists of
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value. Holders of the Common Stock
do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or
other subscription fights. The Common Stock carries no conversion rights and is
not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of
Common Stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally
available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and, upon
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, to
share equally in the assets of the Company available for distribution to
stockholders. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and all shares to be sold and issued as
contemplated hereby, will be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares
of Common Stock, not to exceed the amount authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such
consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further stockholder
action. The above description concerning the Common Stock of the Company does
not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws which are available for inspection upon proper notice
at the
4
<PAGE>
Company's offices, as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of Florida
for a more complete description concerning the rights and liabilities of
stockholders. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on
all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of
Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50
percent of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the
directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the
remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No such interests.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
As permitted by the Nevada Corporation Law, under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, the Company shall to the fullest
extent permitted by Nevada Law, as the same shall be added and supplemented,
indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said
Section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other
matters referred to in or covered by said Section, and the indemnification
provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which
any person may be entitled under any By-Law, resolution of shareholders,
resolution of directors, agreement or otherwise, as permitted by said Article,
as to action in any capacity in which he served at the request of the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed
that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed n the Act and is therefore
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person, in connection with securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question as to whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

the Securities Act of 1933;

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona

Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be
filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about December
17, 1996. In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, of 6,800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,(exclusive of any
securities associated therewith, the "Stock") to be issued by the Company in
connection with said registration statement. As your counsel, we have examined
the proceedings relating to and action taken by you in connection with the
registration statement.
Based upon that examination, it is our opinion that the 6,800,000 shares of the
Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued and
sold in the manner provide in the Registration Statement, will be validly
issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration
Statement and any amendments thereto. In providing this consent, we do not
thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, or the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
