NOMINATION OF DIRECTOR CANDIDATES

     Nominees for election as Class II members of the Board of Directors are
selected by Class II members of our Board. A vacancy in the position of Class I
director is filled by appointment, as described in our bylaws. We do not have a
standing nominating committee or a charter with respect to the nominating
process. If we appointed such a committee, its membership would consist of the
directors, or a subset of them. To date, all director nominees have been
identified by current directors or management. We have never engaged a third
party (for a fee or otherwise) to identify candidates and we have never received
a proposed candidate from a source outside of the Company. However, the Board
would consider any candidate proposed in good faith by a shareholder. To do so,
a shareholder should send the candidate's name, credentials, contact
information, and his or her consent to be considered as a candidate to our chief
executive officer, Stephen C. Roberts. The proposing shareholder should also
include his or her contact information and a statement of his or her share
ownership (how many shares owned and for how long). The Board evaluates
candidates based on financial literacy, knowledge of the Company's industry or
other background relevant to the Company's needs, status as a stakeholder in the
Company, "independence" for purposes of compliance with the rules of the SEC and
Nasdaq, and willingness, ability, and availability for service.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD

     We do not have a formal procedure for shareholder communication with our
Board of Directors. In general, our officers are easily accessible by telephone
or mail. Any matter intended for the Board, or for any individual member or
members of the Board, should be directed to our chief executive officer or chief
financial officer at the Company address with a request to forward the same to
the intended recipient. All such communications will be forwarded unopened.

     We encourage all incumbent directors, as well as all nominees for election
as director, to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. Two of the three
incumbent directors attended the annual meeting in July 2003.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Under Section 302A.521, Minnesota Statutes, the Company is required to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents against liability under certain circumstances, including liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Company's Bylaws contain substantially similar provisions and, in addition, specifically authorize adoption of agreements for indemnification to the extent permitted by statute and purchase of insurance to meet the Company's indemnification obligation. The general effect of such provisions is to relieve the directors and officers of the Company from personal 7 liability that may be imposed for certain acts performed in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company, except where such persons have not acted in good faith. As permitted under Minnesota Statutes, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or to its shareholders for monetary damages arising from breach of the director's duty of care in the affairs of the Company. Minnesota Statutes do not permit elimination of liability for breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or with respect to certain enumerated matters, including payment of illegal dividends, acts not in good faith, and acts resulting in improper personal benefit to the director.

The former president then paid the balance of the note, plus the outstanding $20,863 of accrued interest, for the remaining 104,800 shares.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is currently composed of one independent director, as required by the listing standards of the BBX.two directors. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002,2003, the members of the Committee were Peter L. Hauser, (Chair)until his resignation from the Board, and Roger Schnobrich.then Stephen Roberts and Russell Mitchell. None of the directors who currently serve on the Audit Committee are "independent" as defined in rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Committee currently operates under a written charter adopted by the Board on June 2, 2003, and amended on October 15, 2003, a copy of which is included in this proxy statement as Appendix D.A. The Committee selects the Company's independent accountants. Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process; the independent accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally 10 accepted auditing standards and for issuing a report thereon. The Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent accountants. The Committee has received from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors' independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees," and has discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, and has satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Committee has discussed with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of the Company's internal controls and the internal audit function's organization, responsibilities, budget and staffing. The Committee has also reviewed with the independent auditors their audit plans, audit scope, and identification of audit risks. 9 In addition, the Committee has discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all communications required by generally accepted accounting standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committees" and, with and without management present, discussed and reviewed the results of the independent auditors' examination of the financial statements. Based upon the Committee's discussion with management and the independent accountants, the Committee's review of the representation of management, and the report of the independent accountants to the Committee, the Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2002.2003. Members of the Audit Committee: Peter L. Hauser Roger Schnobrich PROPOSALS 2 AND 3 ----------------- AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION A copy of the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is included in this proxy statement as Appendix A. CHANGE OF NAME The proposed change of name of the Company to "GelStat Corporation" is intended to reflect the Company's new business following acquisition of GelStat Corp. on April 30, 2003. INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL Currently, the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") authorize the issuance of 3,333,334 shares of Common Stock and 1,666,667 shares of undesignated stock. As of May 1, 2003, 11 2,560,885 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and an aggregate of 298,005 shares were reserved for issuance. No other classes of stock are issued or outstanding or reserved for issuance. On June 2, 2003, the Board approved an increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 3,333,334 to 50,000,000 and an increase in the authorized undesignated stock from 1,666,667 to 10,000,000. Such amendment will not take effect unless approved by the shareholders. The Company has no current plans to issue any additional shares of Common Stock or to create or issue any securities from the undesignated stock. The Board believes that it is necessary and desirable to increase the number of shares of capital stock and to allow the Board of Directors to establish one or more series of voting stock to give the Board additional flexibility to raise equity capital, reserve additional shares of Common Stock for issuance under employee benefit plans, and make acquisitions through the use of Common Stock and/or other classes of stock. The Board believes that adoption of the proposed amendments is desirable to avoid the delay and expense associated with a special shareholders' meeting in the future for the purpose of authorizing such changes if the Company decides to use its shares for one or more of such previously mentioned purposes. No additional action or authorization by the Company's shareholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of such additional shares, unless required by applicable law or regulation. POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL Although the Board of Directors has no present plans to do so, authorized and unissued Common Stock and undesignated stock could be issued in one or more transactions with terms, provisions and rights which would make more difficult and, therefore, less likely, a takeover of the Company. Any such issuance of additional shares could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing shares of common stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the share ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company. One effect of the adoption of the Proposal, therefore, could be to discourage unsolicited takeover attempts and to limit the possibility of change of control of the Company. By potentially discouraging initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempt, the proposed amendments may limit the opportunity for the Company's shareholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal. Adoption of the Proposal may also have the effect of permitting the Company's current management to retain its position and place it in a better position to resist changes that shareholders may wish to make if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company's business. The Proposal does not arise from any current effort to change the composition of the Board of Directors, gain control of the Company, or organize a proxy contest, and neither proposal is being presented as, nor is it part of, a plan to adopt a series of anti-takeover measures. The Board of Directors does not currently contemplate adopting, or recommending to the shareholders for their adoption, any further amendments to the Company's Articles that would affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company or which might be considered anti-takeover devices. However, the Board and its financial and legal advisers are aware that a number of corporations have adopted special "shareholders' rights plans" or "poison pills" with a view toward creating significant defensive mechanisms against the possibilities of hostile takeover actions. Whether or not the proposed amendment to the Articles is adopted by shareholders, the Board could determine to implement a shareholders' rights plan in the future. 12 Certain provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 302A could also have the effect of discouraging certain attempts to acquire the Company, including a hostile takeover, or remove incumbent management even if some or a majority of the Company's shareholders were to deem such an attempt to be in their best interest, including an attempt that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares of Common Stock held by the Company's shareholders. None of these provisions will be changed by the proposed amendment to the Articles. PROPOSAL 4 ---------- ADOPTION OF 2003 INCENTIVE PLAN GENERAL INFORMATION The Board of Directors believes that the Company's policy of encouraging stock ownership by certain of its employees and members of the Board of Directors through the granting of restricted stock awards, stock options and other sorts of stock-based compensation has been and will be a significant factor in its growth and success by enhancing the Company's ability to retain and attract qualified employees and directors. In June 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2003 Incentive Plan (the "2003 Plan") and reserved 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2003 Plan. The 2003 Plan will be implemented only if approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting. ADMINISTRATION The 2003 Plan is administered by a committee (the "Committee") of the Board. Until determined otherwise by the Board of Directors, the Committee will be comprised of the entire Board of Directors. The Committee has the authority: (i) to establish rules for the administration of the 2003 Plan; (ii) to select the participants in the 2003 Plan; (iii) to determine the types of grants and awards and the number of shares covered; (iv) to set the terms and conditions of such grants and awards; and (v) to determine under what circumstances grants and awards may be canceled or suspended. Determination and interpretations with respect to the 2003 Plan are in the sole discretion of the Committee, whose determination and interpretations are binding on all interested parties. TYPES OF AWARDS Options granted under the 2003 Plan may be either "incentive" options intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or non-qualified options. Awards granted under the 2003 Plan may be stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock or performance awards, as defined in the 2003 Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted to any full or part-time employee of the Company or any of its present and future subsidiary corporations. Options which do not qualify as incentive stock options, as well as SARs, restricted stock or performance awards under the 2003 Plan may be granted to both employees and non-employees who provide services to the Company (including consultants and members of the Board of Directors). As of June 10, 2003, less than 10 persons are eligible to participate in the 2003 Plan. Messrs.Stephen C. Roberts Russell W. Mitchell and Higgins (CEO/CFO, president, and executive vice president, respectively) will not be granted any options unless the terms of such options are approved by shareholders who are not officers, directors, or holders of more than 10% of the Company's stock. 13 Under the terms of the 2003 Plan, incentive stock options may not exceed ten years in duration and must be granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's stock on the day the option is granted, except that incentive stock options granted to persons owing 10% or more of the Company's stock must be granted at an option price which is at least 110% of fair market value and may not exceed five years in duration. Further, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of stock covered by all incentive stock options which are first exercisable by an individual in any year may not exceed $100,000. The term of options granted under the 2003 Plan which do not qualify as incentive stock options may not exceed more than 15 years from the date of granting of such option. The price for options and awards which do not qualify as incentive stock options may be more or less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or award. The Committee may grant options that are exercisable in full at any time or from time to time or in installments or upon the occurrence of specified events. Incentive stock options may not be transferred by the optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The agreements relating to options will contain restrictions on when an optionee may exercise options following termination of employment with the Company or a subsidiary. Under the 2003 Plan, the Committee may also grant SARs which shall confer on the holder a right to receive, upon exercise, the excess of (i) the fair market value of each share subject to the SAR on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the right as specified by the Committee, which shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the SAR (or, if the Committee so determines, in the case of any SAR granted in substitution for another award, on the date of grant of such other award). Subject to the terms of the 2003 Plan and any applicable award agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR shall be as determined by the Committee. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any SAR as it may deem appropriate. The Committee is also authorized to grant awards of restricted stock. Each restricted stock award granted under the 2003 Plan shall be for a number of shares determined by the Committee. The Committee, in its discretion, may establish performance, continued employment, vesting, or other conditions that must be satisfied in order for the restrictions to lapse. The Committee, in its discretion, may waive any restriction applicable to all or any portion of the shares subject to an outstanding restricted stock award. The Committee is authorized to grant such other stock-based awards (including performance awards) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, securities convertible into such shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the 2003 Plan. Performance awards provide the holder with rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by, the holder, in whole or in part, upon achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee may establish. Subject to the terms of the 2003 Plan and any applicable award agreement, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine the terms and conditions of other stock-based awards. TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK The resale of shares acquired upon receipt or exercise of options or awards is generally not restricted by the terms of the 2003 Plan. However, resales will be restricted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") unless the shares are registered under the 1933 Act or the transaction is exempt from registration. The Company intends to register the shares under the 1933 Act. 14 FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS The following is a general summary of the Company's understanding of the federal income tax consequences of the 2003 Plan. Incentive Stock Options. Options under the 2003 Plan granted to employees may be "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. In order to qualify as an incentive stock option, an option must meet certain conditions specified in the Code. The Company believes that under currently applicable provisions of the Code, if shares of Common Stock are acquired pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options, then: o At the time of exercise of the option, no income will be realized by the optionholder for purposes of the regular income tax. However, for purposes of the alternative minimum tax (the "AMT"), the option will be treated as an option which does not qualify as an incentive stock option. Accordingly, for purposes of the AMT, the optionholder will recognize ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise exceeds the option price. Furthermore, the recognition of such AMT income may not alter the amount of income to be recognized for purposes of the regular income tax at the time the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is sold or otherwise disposed of. As a result, an optionholder who has a substantial amount of AMT income upon exercise of an option in relation to his or her taxable income from wages and other sources may be subject to the AMT in the year the option is exercised. Each optionholder should consult his or her own tax counsel regarding the effect of the AMT and the desirability of selling or otherwise disposing of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option in the same calendar year in which such shares were acquired to avoid having the AMT apply in the year the option is exercised and the regular tax apply in the year the Common Stock acquired thereby is sold or otherwise disposed of. Each optionholder should also consult with his or her own tax counsel regarding the benefit which may be available from the tax credit for a prior year's AMT liability provided for in Section 53 of the Code. o If Common Stock is sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years from the date an option was granted to the optionholder and more than one year after the transfer of any shares of Common Stock to such optionholder upon the exercise of such option, then the difference between the option price paid for the shares and the sale price will result in long-term capital gain or loss to the optionholder if, as usually is the case, the Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands of the optionholder, and no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of such option. o If Common Stock is sold or otherwise disposed of before the holding period described above is satisfied, then the optionholder will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares at the time the option is exercised, and (b) the difference between the option price and the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares. Such optionholder will recognize short-term or long-term capital gain to the extent of any excess of the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares over the fair market value of the shares upon exercise of the option, and the Company will be allowed a tax deduction at the time and in the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the optionholder if and to the extent such amount satisfies the general rules concerning deductibility of compensation. The 15 Company may also be required to withhold income tax upon the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionholder. An acceleration of the exercisability of options upon a "change of control" of the Company as provided in certain option agreements may result in more than $100,000 of incentive stock options becoming exercisable for the first time during a single calendar year. In that event, all or some of the incentive stock options in question would become non-qualified (non-incentive) stock options. Other Options. Some options granted under the 2003 Plan are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code. The Company believes that under currently applicable provisions of the Code: o The non-incentive stock options do not have a "readily ascertainable fair market value" within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. Accordingly, at the time an option is granted, the optionholder will not recognize any taxable income. Upon the exercise of the option, the optionholder will recognize ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the Common Stock at such time exceeds the option price. o The Company will be allowed an income tax deduction in the amount that, and for its taxable year in which, the optionholder recognizes ordinary income, to the extent such amount satisfies the general rules concerning deductibility of compensation. The Company will be required to withhold or otherwise collect income tax upon such amount as required under Sections 83 and 3402 of the Code. o The optionholder's original tax basis in the shares received will be equal to the sum of the option exercise price for the shares plus the amount which the optionholder is required to recognize as income as a result of the exercise of the option. o When an optionholder sells shares acquired by the exercise of such a non-incentive option, the difference between the amount received and the adjusted tax basis of the shares will be gain or loss. o An optionholder's holding period for shares acquired by exercising such an option, for purposes of determining whether any capital gain or loss on their subsequent sale is long-term or short-term, shall begin at the time of the exercise of the option. Restricted Stock Awards. The tax consequences of the grant and vesting of restricted stock awards are also generally governed by Section 83 of the Code. Common Stock of the Company issued pursuant to a restricted stock award is intended to be non-vested property within the meaning of Section 83 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company believes that Common Stock issued to its employees pursuant to a restricted stock award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as required by the Code and the regulations for treatment as non-vested property. Except as noted below, no income will be realized by a grantee, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction, with respect to an award of restricted stock until the transfer prohibitions on the award have lapsed. At that time, the employee will be deemed to have received compensation taxable as ordinary income and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the sum of any cash received, plus the fair market value on the day such 16 prohibitions lapse with respect to the shares. The employee's tax basis for any shares received will be the fair market value on the day such prohibitions lapse. An employee who receives an award of restrictive stock may irrevocably elect under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to report ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. If such an election is made, no income would be recognized at the time the restrictions lapse and the tax basis for such shares (for purposes of determining the amount of any gain or loss realized on the subsequent sale of such shares) would be the fair market value on the date of grant of the stock. However, under current regulations of the Internal Revenue Service, if an employee makes such an election and subsequently all or part of the shares are forfeited under the terms and conditions set by the Committee at the date of grant, the employee will not be entitled to a deduction. If a Section 83(b) election is not made, appreciation in the value of the Common Stock during the period of time the Common Stock is subject to restrictions under the terms of the restricted stock award will be recognized as ordinary income when those restrictions lapse. If the election is made, appreciation in the value of the Common Stock during the period of time they are subject to restrictions will generally be recognized as capital gain only when the restrictions lapse and the Common Stock is sold or otherwise disposed of by the grantee. At the end of the restricted period, the grantee of a restricted stock award generally will be able to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the Common Stock issued to such grantee, subject to restrictions on transfer of unregistered securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. The holding period for shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award, for purposes of determining whether any capital gain or loss on their subsequent sale is long-term or short-term, shall begin when the grantee recognizes ordinary income. Subject to the general rules concerning deductibility of compensation, the Company will be allowed an income tax deduction in the amount that, and for its taxable year in which, the grantee recognizes ordinary income pursuant to a restricted stock award, but only if the Company withholds income tax upon such amount as required under Section 3402 of the Code. Dividends received by the grantee before the end of the restricted period will be taxed as ordinary income to the grantee and will also be deductible by the Company subject to the foregoing general rules concerning compensation. Stock Appreciation Rights. The tax consequences of the grant of an SAR are also generally governed by Section 83 of the Code. At the time an SAR is granted, the holder of the SAR will not recognize any taxable income. At the time of exercise of an SAR, the holder will recognize ordinary income equal to the cash or the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received at such time. The holder of the SAR will have a basis in any shares received equal to the fair market value thereof at the time the holder recognizes ordinary income as a result of exercising the SAR, and any additional gain recognized on a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares will not be compensation income but will qualify as a capital gain, if, as usually is the case, the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the holder. The holding period for shares acquired by exercising an SAR, for purposes of determining whether any capital gain or loss on their subsequent sale is long-term and short-term, shall begin at the time of the exercise of the SAR. At the time of exercise of an SAR, the holder will report as ordinary income the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any common stock which is issued. The Company will be entitled to take a deduction for such amount at the time of actual payment. A recipient of a performance award will not recognize any taxable income at the time of grant. When the award is paid, in cash or in common stock, the grantee will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the cash and the fair market value of the common stock received (which fair market value will be the employee's tax basis for the shares) and the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction for such amount. 17 Subject to the general rules concerning deductibility of compensation, the Company will be allowed an income tax deduction in the amount that, and for its taxable year in which, the holder of an SAR recognizes ordinary income upon the exercise of an SAR, but only if the Company withholds income tax upon such amount as required under Section 3402 of the Code. Performance Awards. The tax consequences of the grant and any payment with respect to a performance award are also governed by Section 83 of the Code. At the time a performance award is granted, the recipient will not recognize any taxable income. At the time a performance award matures, the holder will recognize ordinary income equal to the cash or fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received at such time, unless the holder is a person subject to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act. The holder will have a basis in any shares received equal to the fair market value thereof at the time the holder recognizes ordinary income as a result of the maturity of a performance award, and any additional gain recognized on a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares will not be compensation income but will qualify as a capital gain if, as usually is the case, the Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands of the holder. The holding period for shares acquired upon maturity of a performance award, for purposes of determining whether any capital gain or loss on their subsequent sale is long-term or short-term, shall begin upon the maturity thereof. Subject to the general rules concerning deductibility of compensation, the Company will be allowed an income tax deduction in the amount that, and for its taxable year in which, the holder recognizes ordinary income upon the maturity of a performance award, but only if the Company withholds income tax upon such amount as required under Section 3402 of the Code. Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2003 Plan also authorizes other stock-based awards, the terms of which are not specified. The federal income tax consequences to both recipients and the Company from the grant and exercise of such other stock-based awards will depend on the terms thereof. Change of Control. Payments or other benefits resulting from awards, including acceleration of the exercisability of options granted under the 2003 Plan as a result of "change of control" provisions in award agreements, may be compensatory payments which are contingent on a change of control and when made to certain defined individuals (such as the Company's executive officers) may be deemed to be "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 2806 of the Code. Section 2806 of the Code provides that if "parachute payments" to an individual equal or exceed three times such individual's "base amount" (average annual compensation over the five taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the change of control occurs), the excess of such "parachute payments" over such individual's "base amount" will (a) not be deductible by the Company and (b) be subject to an excise tax payable by the individual. Each holder of an award should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding his or her tax liability upon a change of control of the Company. PLAN BENEFITS Grants of options and awards under the 2003 Plan are discretionary. Accordingly, it is not possible for us to identify the recipients or specify the amounts to be received by any recipient. However, see "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Compensation of Directors" for a description of options which we have agreed to grant to Peter L. Hauser, a non-employee director. In general, the Board of Directors, as the Committee administering the 2003 Plan, will seek recommendations from management (as to non-executive employees) and from the Compensation Committee of the Board (as to executive employees) concerning the recipients of grants and awards, the appropriate amounts and types of awards, and the terms of exercise. Grants and awards may be made annually, or more frequently in the case of new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances. In general, the Committee's 18 compensation policy includes stock incentives for executive management as a significant component of total compensation. Messrs. Roberts, Mitchell, and Higgins (CEO, president, and executive vice president, respectively) will not be granted any options unless the terms of such options are approved by shareholders who are not officers, directors, or holders of more than 10% of the Company's stock. A copy of the 2003 Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B. PROPOSAL 5 ---------- AMENDMENTS TO BYLAWS The Company and GelStat agreed in connection with the Company's acquisition of GelStat that Peter L. Hauser or his designee would serve on the Board of Directors of the Company until 2007 as a representative of the pre-acquisition DTR shareholders. The proposed amendments to the Bylaws creates the special class of one director (Class I), initially Peter L. Hauser. Mr. Hauser shall appoint his replacement in the event he is unable or unwilling to continue to serve. All other directors will be Class II directors and will serve a one-year term (i.e. no change from current practice). The text of each section proposed to be amended is set forth in Appendix C to this Proxy Statement. The previous owners of GelStat, who own in the aggregate 60% of the Company, have entered into an agreement to vote their shares for this amendment and for the election of Peter Hauser to the 4-year term in Class I. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS CHANGE OFIN AUDITORS IN FISCAL 2002 On June 27, 2002, KPMG LLP, the principal independent accountants previously engaged by the Company to conduct an audit of its accounts for more than the past two years, resigned as the Company's auditors. The resignation of KPMG LLP was not sought, recommended or approved by the Audit Committee or Board of Directors of the Company. In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through June 27, 2002, (i) there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Developed Technology Resource, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, did not contain any adverse or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as follows: 19 KPMG LLP's independent auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements for the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, contained a separate paragraph stating that "the Company has a shareholders' deficit and has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty." Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements included in the Company's annual report on form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. AUDITOR FOR FISCAL 2002 On August 12, 2002, the Company engaged Gallogly, Fernandez and Riley, LLP ("GFR"), with offices in Orlando, Florida, to audit DTR's consolidated financial statements for 2002. Prior to August 12, 2002, DTR did not consult with GFR regarding the application of accounting principles to a 10 specific or contemplated transaction, regarding the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant's financial statements, or regarding any other matter. CHANGE IN AUDITOR IN FISCAL 2003 On January 6, 2004, GelStat Corporation ("GSC"), formally known as Developed Technology Resource, Inc., dismissed Gallogly, Fernandez & Riley, LLP ("GFR") as its independent auditor. The dismissal of GFR was recommended and adopted by our Audit Committee and approved by our Board of Directors. GFR audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by KPMG, LLP. GFR's report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the subsequent interim period ending January 6, 2004 (i) there were no disagreements between us and GFR on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GFR, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports and (ii) there were no "reportable events," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The decision to replace GFR was not the result of any disagreement between us and GFR on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or audit procedure. Concurrently, on January 6, 2004, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP ("VKCo") as our new independent accountant and auditor. VKCo will audit our financial statements to be included in the Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 and we intend to have VKCo continue to serve as our independent accounting and audit firm thereafter. We did not consult with VKCo on any matters related to accounting principles or practice, financial statement disclosures or audit procedures during our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods through January 6, 2004 prior to selecting and appointing VKCo as our auditor. FEES PAID TO AUDITORS FOR FISCAL 2003 Audit Fees During fiscal 2002 During 2002,and 2003, the Company accrued or paid $33,050fees for audit services of KPMG LLPGFR and Gallogly, Fernandez & Riley, LLP,VKCo, including its quarterly reviews and year-end audit fee.fees as follows: 2002 2003 ---- ---- GFR -0- $13,984 VKCo -0- $20,850 No leased personnel were utilized by GFR or KPMGVKCo in connection with any audit services provided to us.
