CHANGES IN CONTROL

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Corporation entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement whereby it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares Food and Culinary Technology Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("FACT Group"), in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Class C common stock. These shares are convertible into shares of the Company's Class A common stock upon the event of FACT achieving sales of $9,000,000, holders of the Class C common stock may convert one-third of their stockholdings; each share of Class C common stock being convertible into six shares of Class A common stock. Holders of the Class C shares may convert a further one-third of the Class C common stock upon FACT achieving cumulative sales of $27,500,000 and they may convert the final one-third of the Class C common stock upon FACT achieving cumulative sales of $56,150,000. If all of the 3 sales requirements are met, then the 2,000,000 shares would be converted into 12 million shares of Class A common stock. Such conversion would cause a change in control of the company as the total number of issued and outstanding shares from its present amount of 6,917,568 Class A common shares to nearly 20 million Class A common shares and 60% of such total would be held by 8 shareholders. The largest holder of the Class C shares is International Securities Group, Inc., whose sole shareholder is Mr. W. Scott Lawler, who is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and FACT Group. International Securities Group, Inc. holds 1,200,000 Class C shares. The second largest holder of the Class C shares is TMAmerican Holdings Ltd., with 265,000 shares, whose controlling shareholder is Mr. Thomas Murdoch, who is the CEO and a member of the Board of Directors of FACT Group. FACT Group's Chairman of the Board, Mr. Paul Niedermayr, and FACT Group's President, Susan Niedermayr, hold 105,000 and 165,000 shares of the Class C common stock, respectively.

Mr. Lawler provided funds to the Corporation in the amount of $167,842 to pay for the down payment and all closing costs associated with the purchase. The funds were provided in the form of a subscription for shares of the Corporation's Class A common stock at the purchase price of $1.00 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration found in Rule 506 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. The net proceeds to the Corporation realized from this offering was $167,842, as this offering was made without the use of any agent or salesman and was conducted without any costs, commissions or finders' fees. If Mr. Lawler's Consulting Agreement expires or is terminated, Mr. Lawler will have the option to purchase the property by assuming the mortgage and returning to the Corporation 167,842 shares of its Class A Common Stock. Such purchase must be completed within 120 days of termination of the Consulting Agreement. If Mr. Lawler does not exercise his option to purchase the property, the Corporation will be obligated for the mortgage payments and other costs associated with this property. If and when the property is sold, the Corporation will receive any and all gains (and/or losses) from such sale, less the cost of any pre-approved improvements to the property paid for by Mr. Lawler. However, Mr. Lawler has the option of acquiring title to the property (and thus all resulting gains or losses) by: (a) assuming or paying off the Corporation's mortgage; and (b) surrendering to the Corporation the 167,842 shares of Class A common stock obtained from the Corporation in a private placement.

During the fiscal year ended December 2000 the Corporation provided funds in the form of a loan in the amount of $293,500 to Ocean Exploration Ltd., a Belize corporation, and greater than 5% shareholder.

On December 20, 2001 as part of a Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between the Corporation, Texas T Petroleum Ltd. (a corporation which shares a common director with the Corporation and a common director with one of the Corporation's subsidiaries) and various other unrelated third parties, Texas T Petroleum Ltd. acquired 500,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation, the acquisition of which resulted in Texas T Petroleum Ltd. becoming a greater than 5% shareholder.

QUORUM AND VOTING

In an election of directors, that number of candidates equaling the number of directors to be elected having the highest number of votes cast in favor of their election, are elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"), provided a quorum is present. Votes may be cast or withheld with respect to the Proposal to elect three members of the Board of Directors for terms expiring at the Corporation's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2003. Votes that are withheld will be counted toward a quorum, but will be excluded entirely from the tabulation for such Proposal and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote on such Proposal.

Record holders of our Class A and Class C Common Stock may cast one vote for each director nominated for office and one vote for each other Proposal for each share held of record at the close of business on April 26, 2002.

Approval of the matters before the meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The current Board of Directors has fixed the number of authorized directors at three. Thus, there are three directors to be elected for terms expiring at the Corporation's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2003 or until their successors have been elected and qualified. It is intended that the names of the persons indicated in the following table will be placed in nomination. Each of the nominees has indicated his willingness to serve as a member of the Board of Directors if elected; however, if any nominee becomes unavailable for election to the Board of Directors for any reason not presently known or contemplated, a substitute may be nominated and elected.

The nominees, each of whom have served as a Director of the Corporation during 2001, are as follows:

TRANSFER OF ASSSETS

General

Management of the Corporation has determined that it is in the best interests of the Corporation that its business operations and resources be focused on the business of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Food and Culinary Technology Group, Inc. ("FACT Group"). As a result, the Corporation will be transferring all of its real estate and oil and gas properties into one of its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries during the second quarter of the current fiscal year. Following such transfers, such subsidiary will be spun-off via a distribution of its stock to the Corporation's then-current shareholders on a pro rata basis.

The Corporation expects that it will participate in or arrange for the spun-off company registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a public reporting company and then a listing of its shares on the Over-the-Counter/Bulletin Board quotation system.

It is anticipated that in the near future this spun-off corporation will be managed by most of the Corporation's existing management team, until such time that a new management group with the capability of taking the corporation to the next level of activity and profitability can be located.

The properties that will be transferred to this subsidiary are described below.

Description of Properties

Commercial Property #1

This property is a single story building on 1.68 acres and is comprised of 14,960 square feet of office space and 7,185 square feet of laboratory space.

The Corporation has agreed to allow Synergy to sublet the property subject to approval of the sub-lessee and with the agreement that any shortfall in the sublease rents would be guaranteed by Synergy and paid by Synergy either monthly or in a lump sum payment.

The third head lease agreement is with the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary Capital Canada for 2,822 square feet of office space and lab space for a term of 5 years, expiring on October 31, 2005. The lease generates $21,728 in annual rental payments. Capital Canada has subleased 2,409 square feet under a sublease agreement that expires in October 2005. This lease generates $24,904 in annual rental payments for the first two years of the lease with an increase in years three through five of the lease to $28,017 in annual rental payments. The remaining rentable area is currently on a short-term lease, renewable every three months and generates $1,278 monthly. The subleases are both to companies involved in the chemical industry.

All the leases and the sublease granted will expire during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The average effective annual rental is $10.09 per square foot. The property is depreciated over 25 years using the straight line method of depreciation which is the same method adopted for tax purposes. Annual property taxes are $18,288.

Oil and Gas Properties - Canadian Oil and Gas

Capital Canada has a 5% interest in six wells and a gathering facility in a producing oil and gas field known as Chestermere located in the Chestermere/Crossfield areas of the Province of Alberta, Canada. Compton Petroleum Corporation, a company located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada operates the property.

As at the fiscal year end there were five producing wells located on these properties that had produced a total of 46,200 bbls of oil, 51,840 BOE of gas and 220 bbls of other products. The average sales price per barrel of oil produced was $21.37 and the average sale price for gas produced was $3.24 per MCF. The average lifting cost per equivalent barrel of oil (gas volumes were converted to oil volumes assuming 6 MCF of gas equals 1 barrel of oil) during 2001 was $7.08. During the previous fiscal year there were four producing wells located on these properties that had produced a total of 39,626 bbls of oil, 46,676 BOE of gas and 5,032 bbls of other products. Average prices realized during 2000 were $21.82 per barrel for oil and $2.15 per MCF for gas.  The average lifting cost per equivalent barrel of oil (gas volumes were converted to oil volumes assuming 6 MCF of gas equals 1 barrel of oil) during 2000 was $7.37.

The cost of the acquisition of this field was $612,630, which was paid by way of $204,105 in cash and in 817,050 shares of common stock of the Corporation, at a deemed price of $0.50 per share. The cash payment was made from the draw down of $204,105 from a stand-by operating line of credit at an annual interest rate of the Bank of Canada of prime rate plus 1% provided to Capital Canada by the Alberta Treasury Branches. The line of credit was secured by a floating charge debenture over all of Capital Canada's assets. The line of credit was renegotiated in September 2001, to a term loan with payments of $6,287 per month. The outstanding balance on the loan at December 31, 2001 is $163,462. The maturity date of the loan is May 31, 2002. The Alberta Treasury Branches is an Agent of the Crown in right of the Province of Alberta, Canada and operates under the Alberta Treasury Branches Act, Statutes of Alberta, 1997. Under that Act, Alberta Treasury Branches was established as a provincial corporation. Management intends to approach the Alberta Treasury Branches in the second quarter of 2002 to extend the repayment date of the loan.

Capital Canada's average monthly net revenue from this interest for fiscal year 2001 was $475 (2000-$990). During fiscal year 2001, Capital Canada spent $32,060 on drilling one well, which was cased and shut in pending evaluation of alternative target zones and $26,017 on capital expenditures for workovers and re-completion of the wells. In the fiscal year 2000 Capital Canada spent $36,500 on capital expenditures for workovers and re-completion of the wells. Presently there is no drilling activity.

Oil and Gas Properties - U.S. Oil and Gas

The Corporation holds a 5% interest in shut-in wells located in Rosebud and Garfield Counties, Montana. During the fiscal year 2000 the Corporation expended a total of $36,555 on drilling two wells. Both wells were dry holes. The Corporation also has a 4% working interest in 54,237.57 acres. At present there is no development planned for this acreage.

 Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities

During fiscal 2000 the Corporation became interested in a heavy oil upgrading technology known as "CPJ". As a result of this interest, the Corporation made equity investments in Texas T Resources Inc. ("Resources"), a public reporting Alberta corporation whose shares are traded on the Canadian Venture Exchange under the symbol "TXT", and its private subsidiary, Texas T Petroleum Ltd. ("Petroleum"), a Colorado corporation. The proceeds of the investments were used by Resources and Petroleum to assist in the development of the technology. A summary of the investments is included below:

On August 1, 2000, in consideration of cash proceeds advanced to Resources, the Corporation entered into a private placement agreement and acquired 2,000,000 units of the common stock of Resources at a price of $0.0677 per unit, each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the Corporation to purchase one additional share at $0.088 per share for a period of two years from the date of issue.

Subsequently in the fiscal year 2000 the Corporation also completed a private placement with Petroleum and acquired 2,000,000 units at $0.50 per unit, each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the Corporation to purchase one additional share at $1.00 per share for a period of two years from the date of issue. On March 6, 2001 Petroleum completed a reverse split of its share capital at the rate of 10:1, which resulted in the Corporation's shareholdings in Petroleum being reduced from 2,000,000 units to 200,000 units. The Corporation's percentage ownership of Petroleum remained constant following the reverse split.

On July 3, 2001 the Corporation completed a Stock Exchange Agreement with an unrelated third party where the Corporation exchanged 652,252 units of Resources for 106,101 common shares of Petroleum.

On December 20, 2001, 300,000 shares of the common stock of Petroleum were returned to treasury increasing the Corporation's percentage ownership form 13.9% to 16.2%.

As of December 31, 2001 the Corporation owns 1,347,748 units (6.2%) of Resources which has been recorded on the financial statements with a value of $76,259 based on the quoted market price of the stock at that date.

As of December 31, 2001 the Corporation owns 306,101 common shares (16.2%) and a warrant to acquire an additional 200,000 common shares of Petroleum. These securities are non-marketable and as a result of the Corporation's analysis of Petroleum's divestiture of its interest in the heavy oil technology December 20, 2001, representing a divestiture of substantially all of Petroleum's assets, the Corporation has determined that this investment has a net realizable value of $400,000 as at December 31, 2001.

The Corporation's total combined investment in marketable and non-marketable securities as at December 31, 2001 is $476,259.
