                                 PROXY STATEMENT

Solicitation and Revocability of Proxy.
--------------------------------------

         This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy/voting instruction card
(proxy card) are being mailed  beginning  July 29, 2000 to our  shareholders  in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Capital
Development  Group,  Inc. (the "Company") for the Special Meeting in lieu of the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders in Portland,  Oregon. The meeting will be held at
2:00 p.m.,  August 15, 2000,  at the Shilo Inn,  9900 SW Canyon Road,  Portland,
Oregon 97225.

         Only  stockholders  of record at the close of business on June 15, 2000
will be  entitled to vote at the  meeting.  At the close of business on June 15,
2000,  there were  8,410,335  outstanding  shares of the Company's  common stock
("Common Stock").  Each share of Common Stock not in the treasury is entitled to
one vote. There is no provision in the Company's  Articles of Incorporation,  as
amended, for cumulative voting.

         If shares are not voted in person,  they cannot be voted on your behalf
unless a signed proxy is given.  Even if you expect to attend the Annual Meeting
in person, in order to ensure your representation please complete, sign and date
the enclosed proxy and mail it promptly in the enclosed envelope.  A stockholder
giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation may revoke it at any time before it
is exercised by giving a subsequent  proxy or by  delivering to the Secretary of
the Company a written  notice of revocation  prior to the voting of the proxy at
the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting and inform the Secretary of
the Company that you wish to vote your shares in person,  your proxy will not be
used. If you receive two or more proxy cards,  please  complete,  sign, date and
return each to complete  your  representation.  All shares  represented  by each
properly  executed and unrevoked proxy, in the accompanying  form, will be voted
unless the proxy is mutilated or otherwise received in such form or at such time
as to render it unusable.

Voting at the Meeting.
---------------------

         Votes cast at the  Annual  Meeting  will be  tabulated  by the  persons
appointed  by the  Company  to act as  inspectors  of  election  for the  Annual
Meeting.  Shares  represented  by proxies  that reflect  abstentions  or "broker
non-votes"  (i.e.,  shares held by a broker or nominee which are  represented at
the meeting,  but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not  empowered
to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted as shares that are present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.  However,
for  purposes of  determining  the outcome of any  proposal as to which  proxies
reflect abstentions or broker non-votes, shares represented by such proxies will
be  treated  as not  present  and not  entitled  to vote  with  respect  to that
proposal.  No  dissenters'  rights  apply to any matter to be acted upon at this
meeting.

PAGE 1 - PROXY STATEMENT

<PAGE>

         The Company will bear the cost of this solicitation.  Solicitation will
be made by mail,  by telephone  and  personally  by our officers and  employees;
those persons will not receive additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

         The  purpose of the  meeting  and the  matters to be acted upon are set
forth in the foregoing  Notice of Meeting of Stockholders  that  accompanies the
Proxy Statement. As of the date of this Proxy Statement,  management knows of no
other business to be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. However,
if any such other business shall properly come before the meeting, votes will be
cast pursuant to the proxies in respect of any such other business in accordance
with the best judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.

Executive Officers of the Registrant.

The  names,  ages and  positions  of the  company's  executive  officers  are as
follows:

------------------ ----------------- ----------------------
       NAME               AGE           CURRENT POSITION
------------------ ----------------- ----------------------
Michael P. Vahl            40           President and CEO
------------------ ----------------- ----------------------

------------------ ----------------- ----------------------

------------------ ----------------- ----------------------

Executive Compensation.
----------------------

         Michael P. Vahl is the  President of CDG, but he currently  receives no
salary or other  benefits.  He bills CDG on an hourly basis of $100 per hour for
time he  spends  on behalf of CDG.  In the last  three  years,  CDG has paid the
following amounts to Mr. Vahl: 1996 - $0, 1997 - $0, 1998 - $17,300,  1999 - $0,
2000 - $0. CDG currently is indebted to him for approximately  $163,000 in loans
and  unpaid  services,  and  anticipates  that  this  indebtedness  will grow to
approximately  $200,000 by the end of fiscal year 2000. In addition, in December
1996, CDG issued  151,542 shares of preferred  stock to Mr. Vahl in exchange for
unpaid  salary and  accrued  benefits  of  $530,396  that dated from 1992.  This
preferred  stock was converted to 497,946 shares of CDG common stock in December
1998. If we are  successful at  implementing  our  operational  plan in 2000, we
expect to pay Mr. Vahl additional consulting fees, but we will not pay salary or
benefits to a CEO until we generate cash flow from MAR administration. Once cash
flow is generated,  we anticipate hiring a CEO to oversee CDG's operations.  CDG
has not  established  and does not  anticipate  establishing  any benefit plans,
option plans or other forms of alternative compensation.

         No officer,  director  or employee  was  beneficiary  of any  long-term
compensation or other  compensation in excess of the dollar values  reflected in
item 402(b)(2)(iii)(c) of Regulation S-B.

         There  were no other  compensatory  plans or  arrangements  that  would
result in a payment in excess of  $100,000 to any named  executive  officer as a
result of a change in control.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
----------------------------------------------

         There were no related transactions,  or series of similar transactions,
involving  the  Company  and its  directors  or  executive  officers  other than
compensation  arrangements set forth herein, and similar employment arrangements
described in other documents  filed with the SEC by the registrant.  The Company
has  no  relationship  with  its  independent  accountants  or  the  independent
accountants nominated herein, other than the service and compensation agreements
entered  into in the  ordinary  course  of a  Company's  relationship  with  its
accountants generally.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
-------------------------------------------------------

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the  "Exchange
Act") requires the Company's  executive  officers and Directors,  and person who
own  more  than ten  percent  of a  registered  class  of the  Company's  equity
securities  to file  reports of  ownership  and  changes in  ownership  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Based solely on its review of Forms
3 and 4 and amendments  thereto furnished to the registrant under Rule 16a-3 and
Forms 5 and amendments  thereto  furnished to the registrant with respect to its
most recent  fiscal  year,  management  is not aware that Gordon Root filed on a
timely basis the reports required by section 16(a) during the most recent fiscal
year.  The Company  believes  that Mr. Root should have filed a Form 3,  Initial
Report of Beneficial Ownership, but to the knowledge of the Company no such form
has been filed.  Other than with respect to the foregoing,  the Company believes
that,  for the fiscal year ended  December 31,  1999,  all  executive  officers,
Directors and greater than 10% shareholders  complied with all applicable filing
requirements.

                                   PROPOSAL 2

                  TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG, LLP
                            AS THE COMPANY'S AUDITORS

         The Board of  Directors  has  selected the firm of Ernst & Young LLP to
conduct an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards of the
Company's  consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December
31, 2000. A representative  of that firm is expected to be present at the annual
meeting to respond to appropriate  questions and will be given an opportunity to
make a  statement  if he or she so  desires.  Neither  the  firm  nor any of the
partners  has  any  direct  financial  interest  in  the  Company  or any of its
subsidiaries  other  than as  independent  auditors.  This  selection  is  being
submitted for ratification at the meeting. If not ratified,  this selection will
be  reconsidered  by the  Board,  although  the Board of  Directors  will not be
required  to select  different  independent  auditors  for the  Company.  UNLESS
OTHERWISE  INSTRUCTED,  PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF
ERNST & YOUNG LLP.

                                   PROPOSAL 3

      AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

         The  Board  of  Directors  has  approved  and   recommended   that  the
shareholders  approve  the  adoption  of  the  Company's  Restated  Articles  of
Incorporation  (the  "Restated  Articles"),  the form of which  is  attached  as
Exhibit A. The Restated Articles vary  substantially from the Company's existing
Articles of  Incorporation in a number of important  respects,  and we encourage
you to read the Restated  Articles in their entirety before deciding  whether to
vote in favor of approving them. The Restated Articles contain two modifications
that are of specific importance to shareholders.

o        Preferred Stock. The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as currently
         amended, authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
         stock, and permit the Board of Directors to designate and authorize the
         issuance of those shares in such classes, and having such limitations,
         preferences and relative rights as the Board determines from time to
         time. The Restated Articles maintain this authorization, while
         clarifying the Board's authority to designate and issue preferred
         stock.

o        Indemnification   and   Limitation  of   Liability.   The  Articles  of
         Incorporation,   as  currently   amended,   provide  only  for  partial
         limitation  of  liability  for  the  Company's   directors,   officers,
         employees and agents for their  actions  taken as directors,  officers,
         employees and agents,  respectively.  The Restated Articles provide for
         limitation of those persons' liability to the greatest extent permitted
         under  Oregon law,  but  specifically  exclude  liability  arising from
         breach of the duty of loyalty;  acts or omissions  not in good faith or
         which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; any
         unlawful  distribution  under ORS 60.367; or any transaction from which
         the director derives an improper personal benefit.

PAGE 6 - PROXY STATEMENT
<PAGE>

         The Articles of Incorporation  as currently  amended do not provide for
         indemnification of directors, officers, employees or agents for actions
         in those  capacities.  The  Restated  Articles  would  require that the
         Company  indemnify,  to the fullest extent  provided by Oregon law, any
         director  or officer who is,  becomes,  or is  threatened  to be made a
         party to any  litigation  or  similar  action  by  reason of his or her
         service  as a  director  or  officer  of the  Company.  The  Company is
         required to pay for or reimburse the reasonable  expenses incurred by a
         director or officer who is a party to a proceeding  in advance of final
         disposition  of the  proceeding  as  provided  in the  Oregon  Business
         Corporation Act. The indemnification  provided in the Restated Articles
         is in addition to, and not in limitation  of,  indemnification  arising
         under  any  statute,  rule  of law or  equity,  agreement,  vote of the
         shareholders or board of directors or otherwise.

                                 OTHER BUSINESS

         As of the date of this  Proxy  Statement  management  knows of no other
business,  which will be presented  for action at the  meeting.  If any business
requiring a vote of the stockholders should come before the meeting, the persons
named  in the  enclosed  form of proxy  will  vote or  refrain  from  voting  in
accordance with their best judgment.

                      INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS

         The Company's 1999 Annual Report is being mailed to  shareholders  with
this Proxy Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.  Additional copies
of the Annual Report may be obtained  without  charge from Mike Vahl,  President
and CEO,  Capital  Development  Group,  Inc.,  4333 Orange  Street,  Suite 3600,
Riverside,  CA 92501.  Also  included in the package is a copy of the  Company's
first quarter filing to the SEC.

                          PROPOSALS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Any  proposal of a security  holder  intended to be presented at the next annual
meeting of the Company  must be received  by the  Company for  inclusion  in the
