VOTING RIGHTS AND VOTE REQUIRED
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2002 will be
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As of August 30, 2002, there were
99,999,903 shares of our Common Stock and no shares of our Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding. Each issued share of our Common Stock entitles its
record owner to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Special Meeting.
The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of our issued
and outstanding capital stock which are entitled to be voted at the Special
Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special
Meeting. If a quorum is present, ratification and approval of any and all
amendments to our Articles of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of
a majority of our issued and outstanding shares. Otherwise, a majority of the
shares represented at the meeting will be required for each remaining issue to
be voted upon at the Special Meeting.
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES
Information as to the name, address and holdings of each person known by us to
be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock as of August 30,
2002, is set forth below. Beneficial ownership of common stock has been
determined for purposes of this table according to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this
rule, a person is, in general, deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security
if the person has or shares voting power or investment power of such security or
has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of the security within sixty (60)
days.
As of August 30, 2002, we had a total of 99,999,903 shares issued and
outstanding.

CHANGE OF THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
We want to change our name to Scarab Systems, Inc. We have changed the focus of
our operations by acquiring Scarab Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The
Nevada corporation is now our subsidiary and provides marketing and payment
solution services with applications in e-commerce and point-of-sale purchasing.
This includes the distribution of the rechargeable stored value card-based
payments systems. We believe that the name change will better emphasize the
relationship to our operational entity. This resolution requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares. The Board of Directors
recommends that shareholders vote FOR the resolution.
AUTHORIZATION AND APPROVAL OF REVERSE SPLIT
As a part of the acquisition of Scarab Systems, Inc., the Nevada company, we
agreed in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to bring the issue of a
one-for-ten reverse split of our issued and outstanding common shares to a vote
of our shareholders. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole
number. The number of authorized shares will not be changed.
This reverse split is an important condition for the completion of our
acquisition of Scarab Systems, Inc., the Nevada corporation. Given the value
which has been put into the Company, we believe that the reallocation of the
ownership interests, which will take place as a result of the reverse split, is
fair. This resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our issued
and outstanding shares. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote
FOR the resolution.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the present time, our Board of Directors consists of two members, each of
whom are nominees for re-election to the Board of Directors at the Special
Meeting.
If elected, each nominee for the Board of Directors will serve until the next
annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor has been duly elected and
qualified, unless for some reason he should resign or be removed prior to such
time.
A shareholder using the enclosed form of Proxy may vote for all or any of the
nominees for election as directors set forth on the Proxy, or withhold voting
authority for all or any of such nominees. In the event any nominee shall be
unable or unwilling to serve as a director, proxies will be voted for such
substitute nominees, if any, as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.
Our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or
unwilling to serve as a director.
The following table sets forth the list of our present officers and directors,
including the name and age of each director nominee, the year in which he became
a director and his current position with us. Each of the nominees appearing
below is presently serving as a director.

Canada to develop their first fundraising program. He next assisted a California
company, Business and Industry Consultants of San Francisco, to pioneer the use

Vegas, Nevada. His success has led to a number of public speaking engagements at
world gaming conferences throughout North America.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act") requires our
officers and directors and persons owning more than ten percent of our Common
Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Additionally, Item 405 of Regulation
S-B under the 34 Act requires us to identify in its Form 10-KSB and
proxy statement those individuals for whom one of the above referenced reports
was not filed on a timely basis during the most recent fiscal year or prior
fiscal years. Given these requirements, we have the following report to make
under this section. All filing requirements were satisfied by our Officers,
Directors, and greater than ten percent shareholders.

No executive officer received greater than $100,000 in salary during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002.
The Board of Directors received no cash compensation during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2002. However, former Directors Dr. Robert Scott, Mr. Clifford
Thygesen, and Mr. Clifford L. Neuman (while he served on the Board), each
received 50,000 stock options at $0.12 in December 2000 and January 2001. These
options are exercisable for three years from the date of issuance.
2000 Equity Incentive Plan
In February 2000, the Board of Directors authorized, and in March 2000, our
stockholders approved, the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan for our executive and
other employees, plus a limited number of outside consultants and advisors.
Under the Equity Incentive Plan, our employees, outside consultants and advisors
may receive awards of non-qualified options and incentive options, stock
appreciation rights or restricted stock. A maximum of 3,000,000 shares of our
common stock are subject to the Equity Incentive Plan. As of the date of this
Memorandum, no stock appreciation rights or restricted stock has been granted
under the Equity Incentive Plan, and options to purchase 300,000 shares of our
common stock have been granted, including options to purchase 150,000 shares
which have been granted to our non-employee directors. To date, no restricted
shares have been issued pursuant to the Plan. The purpose of the Equity
Incentive Plan is to provide employees, including our officers and employee
directors, and non-employee consultants and advisors, with an increased
incentive to make significant and extraordinary contributions to our long-term
performance and growth, to join their interests with the interests of our
shareholders, and to facilitate attracting and retaining employees of
exceptional ability.
The Equity Incentive Plan may be administered by the Board, or in the Board's
sole discretion by the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other
committee as may be specified by the Board to perform the functions and duties
of the Committee under the Equity Incentive Plan. Subject to the provisions of
the Equity Incentive Plan, the Committee and the Board shall determine, from
those eligible to be participants in the Plan, the persons to be granted stock
options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock, the amount of stock or
rights to be optioned or granted to each such person, and the terms and
conditions of any stock option, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock.
Under the Equity Incentive Plan, with the change of control which recently
occurred, all outstanding and unexercised options granted to our key employees,
officers, directors and consultants became immediately vested and exercisable.
Board Committees
The Board appoints committees to help carry out its duties. In particular, board
committees work on key issues in greater detail than would be possible at full
board meetings. Each committee reviews the results of its meetings with the full
board. The board has established the following committees.
Audit Committee
The audit committee currently has no director members. The Board of Directors
has determined that the members of the audit committee should be "independent"
within the meaning of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s
listing standards. For this purpose, an audit committee member is deemed to be
independent if he does not possess any vested interests related to those of
management and does not have any financial, family or other material personal
ties to management.
The audit committee met on one occasion during fiscal 2000. The committee is
responsible for accounting and internal control matters. The audit committee:
- reviews with management, the internal auditors and the
independent auditors policies and procedures with respect to
internal controls;
- reviews significant accounting matters;
- approves the audited financial statements prior to public
distribution;
- approves any significant changes in accounting principles or
financial reporting practices;
- reviews independent auditor services; and
- recommends to the board of directors the firm of independent
auditors to audit our consolidated financial statements.
In addition to its regular activities, the committee is available to meet on all
of the independent accountants, controller or internal auditor whenever a
special situation arises.
Report of Audit Committee
In connection with the preparation of the annual report on Form 10-KSB of iRV,
Inc., the audit committee certified that it has:
- reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with
management;
- discussed with the Company's independent auditors the matters
required to be discussed by the Statements of Auditing
Standards 61;
- received the written disclosures and the letter from the
independent accountants required by the Independent Standards
Board Standard No. 1, and has discussed with the independent
accountant the independent account's independence; and
- based on the review and discussions referred to above, the
audit committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that
the audited financial statements be included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10KSB.
The former Audit Committee
Dr. Robert A. Scott
Mr. Clifford Thygesen
Compensation Advisory Committee
The compensation advisory committee currently has no member directors. This
committee recommends to the Board of directors the compensation and cash bonus
opportunities based on the achievement of objectives set by the compensation
advisory committee with respect to our chairman of the board and president, our
chief executive officer and the other executive officers;
- administers our compensation plans for the same executives;
- determines equity compensation for all employees;
- reviews and approves the cash compensation and bonus
objectives for the executive officers; and
- reviews various matters relating to employee compensation and
benefits
Board Compensation Advisory Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The compensation advisory committee of the board of directors consisted of two
directors, Dr. Scott and Mr. Thygesen. The committee has the responsibility to
recommend to the board guidelines for administrating our stock compensation
program, and the compensation for our executive officers. The primary function
of the committee is to ensure our compensation program is consistent with our
values and aligned with the business strategy and goals.
The committee believes the compensation levels of our executives, who provide
leadership and strategic direction, should consist of (1) base salaries that
are, at a minimum, commensurate with executives of other comparable public
companies and (2) periodic cash bonuses based on the achievement of specific
objectives. These objectives are usually tied to a percentage of our
profitability. The chief financial officer's cash bonus is at the discretion of
the board and, if awarded, will be a percentage of the executive's base salary.
The committee also believes it should provide executive officers with
significant stock-based incentive compensation, which increases in value in
direct correlation with improvement in our common stock price. Incentive or
non-qualified stock options are granted upon appoint of the executive as an
inducement for employment. Additional incentive or non-qualified stock options
are granted to the executive if specific goals are achieved.
Each of our executive officers are also eligible to participate in our benefit
plans offered to all employees.

Mr. Clifford Thygesen
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Through fiscal year 2001 The Rockies Fund, a business development company, as
defined by the SEC Act of 1940, loaned iRV, Inc. approximately $445,000,
including interest. This amount was converted into Class A Preferred Stock in
December 2000. The debt was exchanged for 100,000 shares of preferred stock that
was converted into 666,666 shares of common stock. In addition The Rockies Fund
deposited $100,000 in a CD at Vectra Bank, Colorado Springs, CO to obtain a
Letter of Credit on iRV's behalf. The Letter of Credit was necessary for iRV,
Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, iRV - Knoxville, Inc. to obtain wholesale floor
financing. That Letter of Credit was called and paid in full due to the
Company's default under its floor plan financing. In October 2001, in
recognition of all of the Company's indebtedness to The Rockies Fund, Inc., the
Company agreed to issue to The Rockies Fund a promissory note in the amount of
$180,000. The Rockies Fund assigned a portion of its interest in that note to
third parties. The Rockies Fund then converted its interest in that note into
500,000 shares of common stock.
Clifford L. Neuman, a former member of the Board of Directors, as well as iRV's
legal counsel loaned iRV, Inc. $55,000. This money was used in the employment
separation agreement between iRV, Inc. and John Deufel. The company only repaid
$25,000 of this loan. Mr. Neuman converted the remaining $30,000 due and its
associated interest into 21,200 shares of Class A Preferred Convertible Stock in
December 2000. Mr. Neuman, in a private transaction, sold the preferred stock
prior to the end of December 2000. In January of 2001 Mr. Neuman's law firm,
Neuman & Drennen, converted the unpaid portion, approximately $71,434, of its
legal bill into 595,286 shares of restricted common stock.
Mr. Thygesen has provided services as Interim President of iRV and Mr. Jennings
has provided services as Chief Financial Officer of iRV through their management
company, Gunpark Management, LLC. In compensation for those services, the
Company issued to Gunpark Management 400,000 shares of restricted common stock
in 2001.
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have appointed independent public accountants Moore Stephens Ellis Foster
Ltd., Chartered Accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This
appointment will be submitted to the shareholders for ratification at the
Meeting.
The submission of the appointment of Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd., Chartered
Accountants, is not required by law or the bylaws of the Company. The Board of
Directors is nevertheless submitting it to the shareholders to ascertain their
views. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the selection of other
independent public accountants will be considered by the Board of Directors. To
be adopted, the resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares voting at the meeting. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
resolution.
ACCOUNTANT'S FEES
Gerald R. Hendricks & Co., P.C., CPA's billed us the following fees for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2002:
Audit Fees: $12,000
Financial Information Systems
Design and Implementation Fees: $0
All Other Fees: $0
Our Board of Directors determined that Gerald R. Hendricks & Co., P.C., CPA's
provision for non-audit services is compatible with maintaining Gerald R.
Hendricks & Co., P.C., CPA's independence.
OTHER MATTERS
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, our Management has no knowledge of any
business, other than previously described herein, which should be presented for
consideration at the meeting. In the event that any other business is presented
at the meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will
have authority to vote such Proxy in accordance with their best judgment on such
business.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
The cost of solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokerage firms
and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred
by them in sending proxy material to the beneficial owners of common stock. In
addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and regular employees
may solicit Proxies personally or by telegraph or telephone, without additional
compensation.
NOTICE TO BANKS, BROKERS/DEALERS, VOTING TRUSTEES, AND THEIR NOMINEES
