Existing stockholders of SBI will own collectively 14% of the outstanding shares of common stock after the merger. As a result of the Reorganization, current SBI stockholders will incur substantial dilution with respect to their voting interests. * SBI will amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 100,000,000. SBI will not be able to issue the shares until the number of authorized shares of common stock is increased and an amendment to the certificate of incorporation is properly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. * SBI will amend its certificate of incorporation to change its name to ValCom, Inc., and SBI will primarily focus on operating the business of VEI. * Following the merger the Board of Directors of SBI will have 4 members consisting of 1 current director of the SBI and 3 members of VEI management.

ACTION 2 AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Board of Directors and the consenting stockholders unanimously adopted and approved an amendment to the SBI's certificate of incorporation to change the corporation's name to ValCom, Inc., which is referred to as the "Name Amendment". The Name Amendment will be implemented by filing a certificate of amendment to the certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. The text of the Name Amendment is attached as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by reference. In the judgment of the SBI Board of Directors, the change of the corporate name is desirable in view of the significant change in the SBI's character and strategic focus as a result of the merger with VEI. The Name Amendment will become effective upon the filing of the certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Under federal securities laws, SBI cannot file the certificate of amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement. ACTION 3 AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONTO CHANGE THE PAR - -------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE OF PREFERRED STOCK - ------------------------ The Board of Directors and the consenting stockholders unanimously adopted and approved an amendment to the SBI's certificate of incorporation to change the par value of its preferred stock which is referred to as the "Par Value Amendment". SBI's current capital structure authorizes 10,000,000 million shares of preferred stock at a par value of $5.00 per share. Delaware law computes the annual franchise tax based either on the authorized share method or the assumed par value capital method, but in no event is the annual franchise tax greater than $150,000. In order to reduce and minimize the annual franchise tax, the Board of Directors and the consenting stockholders unanimously adopted and approved an amendment to the SBI's certificate of incorporation to change the preferred stock par value from $5.00 to $.001 per share. The text of the Par Value Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit D and is incorporated herein by reference. The Par Value Amendment will become effective upon the filing of the certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Under federal securities laws, SBI cannot file the certificate of amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement. ACTION 4 AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION - --------------------------------------------- TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK - ---------------------------------------- The Board and the consenting stockholders unanimously adopted and approved an amendment to SBI's certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized common stock from 40,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares, which is referred to as the "Authorized Shares Amendment.". The terms of the merger will make VEI a wholly owned subsidiary of SBI and the principals of VEI will receive shares of SBI's common stock based upon an agreed upon fair market valuation of the net assets of VEI. According to the audited financial statements of VEI for the year ended December 31, 1999, VEI recorded $8,424,047 in net assets, which represents approximately 83% of the total net assets of VEI and SBI combined. A copy of VEI's audited financial statement is included in this Information Statement. In order to consummate the merger, SBI will be required to issue 75,709,965 shares of common stock to the principals of VEI. The shares of common stock do not have any preemption rights. The text of the Authorized Share's Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Currently, SBI has 40,000,000 shares of common stock authorized of which 12,324,878 shares are issued and outstanding. As a result, SBI will not be able to consummate the merger without first implementing the Authorized Shares Amendment. The Authorized Shares Amendment will be implemented by filing the certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Once SBI files the certificate of amendment, SBI will have 87,1675,122 shares of unissued shares of common stock available for issuance. SBI will immediately issue 75,709,965 shares to the principals of VEI and will cause the merger to be consummated. The shares will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be resold unless the shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The remaining unissued shares of common stock will be available for issuance from time to time as may be deemed advisable or required for various purposes, including the issuance of shares in connection with financing or acquisition transactions and the issuance or reservation of common stock for employee stock options. SBI's Board would be able to authorize the issuance of shares for these transactions without the necessity, and related costs and delays, of either calling a special stockholders' meeting or of waiting for the regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders in order to increase the authorized capital. If in a particular transaction shareholder approval were required by law or any stock exchanges or markets or were otherwise deemed advisable by the Board, then the matter would be referred to the stockholders for their approval notwithstanding that SBI may have the requisite number of voting shares to consummate the transaction. The issuance of the shares will cause a dilution to the existing SBI Stockholders. The 12,324,878 shares of common stock currently issued and outstanding will represent approximately 14% of the outstanding shares after the merger. The Authorized Share Amendment is not intended to have any anti-takeover effect and is not part of any series of anti-takeover measures contained in any debt instruments or the certificate of incorporation or the Bylaws of SBI in effect on the date of this Information Statement. However, SBI stockholders should note that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of common stock could make any attempt to gain control of SBI or the Board more difficult or time consuming and that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove management. Although the Board currently has no intention of doing so, shares of common stock could be issued by the Board to dilute the percentage of common stock owned by a significant shareholder and increase the cost of, or the number of, voting shares necessary to acquire control of the Board or to meet the voting requirements imposed by Delaware law with respect to a merger or other business combination involving SBI. SBI is not aware of any proposed attempt to take over the company or of any attempt to acquire a large block of SBI's common stock. SBI has no present intention to use the increased authorized common stock for anti-takeover purposes. The Authorized Shares Amendment will become effective upon the filing of the certificate of amendment. Under federal securities laws, SBI cannot file the certificate of amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement BACKGROUND OF TRANSACTION - -------------------------- SBI's reason for the merger - -------------------------- For the past several years, SBI sought unsuccessfully to raise capital or enter into a joint venture arrangement to fund its operations. To fund the administrative costs of operating a public corporation, SBI privately sold its common stock at a price of $.01 per share. The SBI Board concluded that the dilution caused by these private offerings coupled with SBI's lack of success in obtaining funding for its former business warranted exploring other strategic alternatives. Because of its public, but relatively dormant status, SBI had received numerous inquiries regarding whether it would be interested in effecting a reverse merger with a private operating company. The Board decided to explore this possibility. VEI's reason for the merger - --------------------------- VEI has been a private operating company since its inception in 1996. During its years of operations, VEI grew in size at a nominal pace. VEI was able to finance its expansion plans based upon current operations and through various credit facilities from financial institutions, however VEI was limited to the scale of its acquisitions and expansion plan. Over the past year, new opportunities were presented to VEI including acquisition of production content, acquisition of companies in similar industry, and expansion of its existing facilities. However, due to its private status and limited financing, VEI was not in the position to further explore these opportunities. The management decided that it was in VEI's best interest to become a publicly traded company and to leverage the advantages that comes with such as status. In addition, management believed that for VEI to effectively compete in the rapidly changing entertainment industry, it must have the tools and resources that would allow it to have ready access to affordable capital. Although the traditional initial public offering was appealing, the cost, time, and existing market conditions outweighed the benefits. Management of VEI explored the possibility of acquiring a public shell for purposes of a reverse merger. VEI management believed that a reverse merger into a public shell that is trading on a bulletin board and reporting with the SEC will allow VEI the ability to acquire other companies through the issuance of its trading stock and able VEI to readily attract private and public financing in the future. Contacts between VEI and SBI - ---------------------------- Vince Vellardita, is a current stockholder of SBI and a close business acquaintance of Ronald Foster since 1988. During 1988 to 1990, Mr. Vellardita performed advertising and promotional consulting services for SBI's products. In June 2000, Mr. Vellardita purchased 150,000 restricted shares of SBI's at a purchase price of $37,500 under a private placement exempt from registration, the proceeds were used to pay existing liabilities of SBI. During the second quarter of 2000, Mr. Vellardita and Mr. Foster began to have informal discussions regarding the possibility of merging SBI and VEI. In May 2000, numerous meetings were held between Mr. Vellardita and with members of the SBI Board to determine if, in fact, there were synergies between the two companies. Mr. Vellardita also had extensive discussions with the other members of VEI to consider the terms and conditions of a possible merger. VEI considered the price, the financial condition and compatibility of the businesses that VEI anticipates will result from the merger. The companies consulted with their financial and tax advisors, as well as their in-house and outside counsel regarding the financial terms and structure of a proposed merger. In August 2000, a meeting was held at the law firm of Pollet & Richardson who serves as outside counsel to SBI. Present at the meeting and representing VEI was Ms. Linda Layton, in-house counsel and Mr. Vellardita. Representing the interest of SBI was Mr. Ron Foster and Nimish Patel of Pollet & Richardson. The parties discussed the proposed merger including issues related to a tax-free reorganization, issuance of shares based upon formula of net assets, appointment of a new board, and the confirmatory of legal and accounting due diligence. On August 21, 2000, a letter of intent was executed between the principals of VEI and SBI. Through the month of September, both parties conducted due diligence and began the formal process of drafting the merger agreement. The SBI Board was satisfied with the exchange ratio based upon the net assets contributed by VEI and was satisfied by VEI's current audited financial statements and the management team. The SBI Board concluded that a merger with VEI was in the best interest of SBI's existing stockholders and submitted the information to the consenting stockholders for their input and recommendation. On October 16, 2000, the consenting stockholders executed a written shareholder resolution approving the action described in this Information Statement. On the same day, the parties to the merger executed a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger . The text of the Agreement, excluding the corresponding schedules and exhibits, is being furnished with this Information Statement. ABOUT SBI Description of Business - ------------------------ SBI was originally organized in the State of Utah on September 23, 1983, under the corporate name of Alpine Survival Products, Inc. Its name was subsequently changed to Justin Land and Development, Inc. during October, 1984, and then to Supermin, Inc. on November 20, 1985. On September 29, 1986, Satellite Bingo, Inc. was the surviving corporate entity in a statutory merger with Supermin, Inc., a Utah corporation. In connection with the merger, the former shareholders of Satellite Bingo, Inc. acquired control of the merged entity and changed the corporate name to Satellite Bingo, Inc. Through shareholder approval dated March 10, 1988, the name was changed to its current name of SBI Communications, Inc. On January 1, 1993, SBI executed a plan of merger that effectively changed the company's state of domicile from Utah to Delaware. In 1994, SBI acquired an 80,000 square foot facility on 2 acres of land located in Piedmont, Alabama in exchange for the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock valued at $5.00 per share for a total consideration price of $7,500,000. The value of the Piedmont property was determined by an independent appraisal. As part of the purchase transaction, SBI received, from the prior owner, a warranty on the Piedmont property that was free and clear from all liens, assessments, and encumbrances. Subsequently, it was discovered that the State of Alabama had a tax lien in the amount of $750,000 and there was a prior mortgage loan in the amount of $240,000. The total liability owed on the Piedmont property including the tax lien, mortgage loan and accrued interest totaled $1,050,000. SBI borrowed the outstanding amount from a private party and paid the State of Alabama and the mortgage holder. The loan amount borrowed was secured by a first priority lien on the Piedmont Property. Currently, SBI is delinquent on its loan payment, however, the private party lender has agreed to waive payment until December 31, 2001. SBI is working with a commercial lender to refinance the Piedmont Property and to pay off the existing loan. SBI has made a demand for the reimbursement of the $1,050,000 from the prior owner of the property and has placed a stop order on 1,500,000 shares of the preferred stock. From 1994 through 1996, SBI did not have significant operations and remained in dormant status. In 1997, SBI was engaged in leasing its 80,000 square foot facility to a charity organization for purposes of conducting bingo operations. During the fourth quarter of 1997, the charity organization defaulted on the lease agreement and was unable to make its monthly payments. SBI ceased its operations of leasing the facility in January 1998 and listed the Property for sale. In March 2000, SBI entered into a sales contract with a third party buyer for the sale of the Property for a net cash sale amount of $3,940,000. The sales contract was subject to financing by the buyer. The potential buyer was unable to obtain financing under favorable terms, and thus the contract was mutually cancelled by the parties. The Property continued to be held for sale until September 30, 2000, when SBI entered into a letter of intent to merge with VEI, at which time the Property was no longer listed for sale. In September 2000, SBI abandoned is planned sale of the Property and converted the 80,000 square foot facility as a venue for automobile and antique and collectible merchandise auctions. SBI has expended approximately $75,000 to modify the facility to accommodate the auction style format. The revenues from the auction is generated from a listing fee charged to those customers that seek to display their products in the auction and a buyer and seller fee that is assessed when the product is actually sold and purchased. Since its inception, the auction has not generated significant amount of revenues. SBI continues to market the auction through print and radio advertising in the Birmingham and Atlanta regions. SBI uses its on-site facility and the internet for the distribution of its auction services. Currently, SBI's competition is from Manheim Inc./Cox Communications, which hosts a weekly auto auction in Birmingham, Alabama. Due to the financial resources of Cox Communication, a fortune 500 company, SBI may not be able to effectively compete in the same region and therefore it may have a materially adverse effect on SBI's results of operations. SBI has a Automobile Dealers License issued by the State of Alabama and an Auction License issued by the City of Piedmont. No governmental approval for the auction is required. Except for the requirement that the auctioneer is licensed by the state, there are no other governmental regulations effecting the auction business. SBI uses license auctioneers and employs a total of 20 employees of whom 8 are full time. Legal Proceedings There are no legal proceedings instituted against SBI.

Changes in and disagreement with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure VEI has had only one independent auditing firm, which is the certified public accounting firm of Jay J. Shapiro, C.P.A., a professional corporation, in Encino, California. There were no disagreements with the accountant on accounting and financial disclosure matters. PRO FORMA SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) --------------------------------------------- In October 2000, SBI entered into an agreement to issue 75,709,965 shares of common stock to acquire 100% ownership VEI. This transaction will be treated as a reverse acquisition merger for accounting purposes. If the transaction had taken place as of January 1, 2000, SBI's pro forma consolidated net assets would have been $10,221,168 and the shares outstanding 88,034,843. The September 30, 2000 pro forma selected financial data was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of SBI and VEI. This interim period data does not included all disclosures provided in the annual audited financial statements or all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of SBI's management, the accompanying pro forma selected financial data contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. In August 2000 SBI effected a 2 for 1 split of its Common Stock. The financial data in these statements reflects the post-split basis.

NOTE: The reverse merger method of accounting is being applied whereby the financial statements of SBI and VEI are combined and re-capitalization takes place. Pursuant to the reverse merger, VEI becomes the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. The net book value of SBI as of September 30, 2000 has been determined to be its fair market value. The fair market value was based upon a negotiated offer to purchase SBI only assets, the land and building, by an independent third party. SBI and the third party entered into a written sales contract that was subject to financing that was ultimately never obtained. Subsequently, Management recorded the value of the assets to the negotiated price since the fair market amount was less than book value. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations: - ---------------------- SBI - --- Plan of Operation: - ------------------ During the next 12 months, SBI plans to continue to market and host its auction for automobiles and antique and collectible merchandise using its 80,000 square foot facility located in Piedmont, Alabama. For the next 12 months, the auction will require an additional $50,000 in capital improvement and approximately $150,000 for marketing and advertising. In addition, SBI is delinquent in its mortgage note payable in the amount of $1,050,000 plus accrued interest of $200,000, which the private party lender has agreed to extend until December 31, 2001. Since the implementation of the auction business plan, SBI has not generated significant revenues, thus in order for SBI to satisfy its cash requirement for the next 12 months, it will have to borrow or raise additional funds. Currently, management is in the process of looking into refinancing the existing Piedmont Property in the amount of $2,000,000. The funds will be used for the payment of the existing mortgage loan and for operating cash flow for the next 12 months. In the event SBI is unable to obtain favorable financing, VEI has agreed to provide any necessary financing for the next 12 months. For the next 12 months, SBI does not plan to purchase or sell any significant property or equipment and does not expect any significant changes in the number of employees. September 30, 2000 and 1999 SBI generated revenues of $-0- during its third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $-0- in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. SBI expects to generate revenue from its on-site auction in the Piedmont facility and through the use of its website beginning in 2001. General and administrative costs of SBI totaled $150,000 during the third quarter of 2000 versus $33,000 in the comparable 1999 quarter, which represents a 433% increase. Most of the current period's costs were comprised of the development of the SBI's web site, which are not fixed expenses. The balance is primarily comprised of professional cost. The nine months ended September 30, 2000 reflects $294,000 increase over the 1999 period due to website development cost and professional fees. Interest and financing cost totaled $35,000 during the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $40,000 in the comparable 1999 period, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, such costs were $100,000 versus $120,000 for 1999. SBI did not record any tax expense during the current quarter or comparable year-ago period due to tax loss carry forwards. SBI's tax loss carryforward balance at the end of fiscal 1999 was in excess of $9 million. Net loss for the nine months of 2000 was $492,826. The loss was primarily due to the development of SBI's web site and the renovation of the auction facility in Piedmont and professional fees. The sale of the property located in Piedmont, Alabama for net proceeds of $3,940,000, pending as of June 30, 2000 was subsequently cancelled because the purchaser was unable to obtain financing under favorable terms. SBI has decided to develop the property as a venue for auto and antique and collectible merchandise auction. SBI spent $75,000 for renovation of this property in September 2000. December 31, 1999 and 1998 Total assets as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $3,940,000. SBI had a working capital deficit of ($2,143,000) and ($1,854,000) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. SBI's excess of current liabilities over current assets was principally due to administrative expenses incurred during the development stage that have been funded by the majority stockholder in the form of advances due on demand. SBI has had some success in issuing stock for services, and accordingly has kept the working capital deficit to a minimum during these years. SBI continues to operate in the development stage with no significant cash flow being generated from operating activities in 1998 or 1999. SBI was not able to generate any revenues from operations in 1999 or 1998. Total revenues for calendar year ended December 31, 1997 were $544,662 earned primarily from rental fees collected from charities that sponsor bingo games. Rental fees collected from those entities ended in 1997. Since its inception, SBI's only significant sources of capital have been from the sale of common stock and loans from shareholders. See a discussion of these transactions under Related Party Transactions, and in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. SBI has also acquired significant assets through the sale of convertible preferred stock. Other operations are anticipated for the facility acquired in 1994 and SBI anticipates generation of revenues from this facility sufficient to cover administrative costs still being incurred as the SBI moves forward in its development stage. SBI's expenses can be summarized as follows: Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1999 1998 ----- ----- Salaries and related expenses $130,000 130,000 Other general and administrative expenses 0 $ 88,069 Interest expenses and finance charges $159,000 $ 40,000 VEI - ---- September 30, 2000 and 1999 As of September 30, 2000 VEI had negative working capital of $142,000. Total assets were $12,244,477 and total liabilities were $6,190,099. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 VEI had revenue of $1,194,282. All revenue earned during the period were from studio rental. Rental revenue increased from $910,628 to $1,194,282 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 versus the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $283,654 or 31%. The increase is due to increases in monthly rents per contract and increases in overhead costs charged to tenants. There was no production revenue earned for the nine month period ending September 30, 2000 since no production was undertaken by VEI. Production revenue was $195,000 for the same period last year. Subsequent to September 2000 $36,000 in production revenue has been earned. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles revenue has not been recognized until or unless a distribution contract is entered into. Several contracts are in the final stages of negotiation. Production revenue has in the past and will continue to vary from period to period depending on the timing of the completion of production and its successful marketing. Production costs for the comparable nine month periods have increased from $72,287 to $199,618 or $127,331 representing a 176% increase. Marketing and development costs accounted for most of the production costs. Management reviews production costs on a quarterly basis and records write-offs as needed. Production costs tend to fluctuate from period to period depending on the number of productions and the stages of the production cycle. Production costs have decreased subsequent to September. Interest expense was $412,496 for the nine month period compared with $219,441 for the comparable period. The 88% increase was due to increased mortgage interest. The mortgage on the facility was refinanced in December 1999 with an additional borrowing of approximately $2,700,000. The effective interest rate on the refinanced mortgage also increased from 8.6% to 10.3%. The $365,639 or 79% increase in administrative and general expense is due primarily to increases in four categories; (1) increase facility costs, largely offset by increases in costs billed to tenants discussed in relation to rental revenue above, (2) increase in rent expense discussed below, (3) increases in legal and accounting fees incurred in anticipation of the merger, and (4) compensation paid to company employees. In July 2000 VEI leased an additional building adjacent to its current facility for $29,000 per month. The building, which was leased as a studio rental property, had not been fully rented as of September 30, 2000. The planned use of the building was two sound stages and office space. One of the two stages was leased out commencing in July 2000 for $13,000 per month. The second sound stage has not been built out and is still not rented or leased. The office space was not rented until October 2000. Management's plan is to rent/lease the combined facility for approximately $50,000 per month. Trends events of uncertainties : The Screen Actors Guild and the Screen Writers Guild may go on strike starting May 2001. While not materially affecting the studio operation of VEI because of long-term contracts, the strike may affect VEI's plans for its own productions which could have a material affect on Valencia's projected income for 2001 and 2002. VEI's internal and external source of funding: VEI has obtained lines of credit from City National Bank for $400,000 and projects positive cash flow from its studio division. VEI has sufficient funds to operate for the next 12 months through its use of the credit facility and projected positive cash flow from its operation of business. December 31, 1999 and 1998 Working capital was $2,441,000 and ($177,000) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively. Total assets were $14,613,000 as of December 31, 1999 an increase of $2,694,000 from December 31, 1998 total assets of $11,919,000. As of year end 1999 total liabilities increased to $6,191,000. from 1998 year end of 3,415,000 The significant increase in total assets, total liabilities and working capital from 1998 to 1999 is a result of the refinancing of the Studio Facility in December 1999. This refinancing increased the mortgage payable by $3,087,000 and correspondingly increased Cash, Mortgage Escrow Holdback and Prepaid Loan Fees in total by $2,710,000. Subsequent to December 31, 1999 VEI distributed $2,000,000 to an affiliate. Such distribution reduced the respective ownership interest. For year ended December 31, 1999 VEI had revenue of $1,474,000, operating expenses of $780,717 and net income of $400,866. Income before depreciation and interest for the year was $828,830. Production revenue increased from $105,000 in 1998 to $260,000 for the year ended December 31, an increase of $155,000 or 148%. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles production revenue has not been recognized until or unless a distribution contract is entered into. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1,214,171 an increase of only $47,000 from the prior year due to minor rate changes. .In general, other income and expense accounts have not fluctuated significantly from the year ended December 31, 1998 to 1999.

SBI uses its 80,000 square foot facility in Piedmont, Alabama as its venue for the auction. Over the last several years, SBI did not have any material operations and remained dormant. VEI is a entertainment conglomerate that includes television production, for both network and syndicate, motion pictures, sports, internet and real estate holdings. VEI, which has 6 acres and a 120,000 square feet production facility in Valencia California, is the studio set for JAG produced by Paramount Pictures and Power Rangers produced by Saban Productions.

Terms of the Transaction: - --------------------------- Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement: (1) VEI will merge with and into SBI's wholly owned subsidiary, Valencia Acquisition, with VEI being the surviving limited liability company and becoming wholly owned subsidiary of SBI; (2) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Valencia Acquisition will be exchanged for all of the outstanding membership interests of VEI, with all of the outstanding Valencia Acquisition shares being cancelled concurrent with the Merger; and (3) SBI will issue 75,709,965 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock to the principals of VEI. The reason for engaging in the transaction is that the Board of Directors of SBI believes that the business engaged in by VEI has substantial growth potential, will compliment its existing business, and will enhance shareholder value in the future. A majority vote of the outstanding shares is required under SBI's Bylaws and under Delaware law. The consenting stockholders who represent 56.4% of the issued and outstanding shares have approved the transaction and the actions to be undertaken. As a result of the merger, the stockholders of SBI will suffer substantial dilution in their interests in SBI. Following the transaction, the current SBI stockholders will own approximately 14% of the outstanding common stock. Consequently, not only will the SBI stockholders' capital interest in SBI be reduced from 100% to 14%, but their voting power will be similarly reduced. Following the merger, the current members of VEI will own 86% of the outstanding common stock of SBI and will be able to control SBI's affairs, including the election of all members of the Board of Directors. The definitive merger agreement contains standard representations and warranties and provides for the mutual indemnification of the parties for breaches of such representations and warranties. The accounting treatment of this transaction will be under the requirements of a reverse merger which results in the legal acquirer, SBI, being the accounting acquiree under purchase accounting.

To the Board of Directors SBI Communications, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SBI Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (restated) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As indicated in Note 10, the stockholders' equity has been restated. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a $3.6 million provision for net realizable value regarding the cost basis of building and equipment as of January 1, 1998. As more specifically indicated in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's existence is dependent on the successful closing of this property held for sale and has no established commercial product or marketing channels at this time to generate future revenues. These factors raise a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to those matters are also described in Notes 1 and 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/JAY J.

INC AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 Organization and Signification Accounting Policies - --------------------------------------------------- SBI Communications, Inc. (the "Company"), was originally organized in the State of Utah on September 23, 1983, under the corporate name of Alpine Survival Products, Inc. Its name was subsequently changed to Supermin, Inc. on November 20, 1985. On September 29, 1986, Satellite Bingo, Inc. became the surviving corporate entity in a statutory merger with Supermin, Inc. In connection with the above merger, the former shareholders of Satellite Bingo, Inc. acquired control of the merged entity and changed the corporate name to Satellite Bingo, Inc. Through shareholder approval dated March 10, 1988, the name was changed to its current name of SBI Communications, Inc. On January 1, 1993, the Company executed a plan of merger that effectively changed the Company's state of domicile from Utah to Delaware. Although the Company is currently a Delaware corporation, on January 31, 1998 the stockholders and Board of Directors approved a plan to change the Company's corporate domicile to the State of Nevada. The Company owns approximately $25,000 for Delaware franchise taxes as of December 31, 1997 and such amount is included in Accounts Payable. The Company has developed a system that can be integrated into all standard communications channels including the World Wide Web for interactive bingo play. Currently, the Company is developing its website. The Alabama bingo hall lease was allowed to not be renewed in early 1998. The Company is establishing a website allowing individuals to become members in a shopping club with membership fees of $19.95 per month. The shopping club will provide a variety of products, services, bingo game sweepstakes related events and items, travel and consumer goods; No charge is made to participate in the bingo games. The website will be hosted by the Company's subsidiary, FrontierPalace.Com. and fulfillment will be provided by unrelated company.The Company will generate additional revenues by offering web page/site design/development, advertising, fulfillment and its web services to others. Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and four wholly-owned subsidiaries of which only SBI Communications, Inc. - Alabama has activity during the two-year period ended 12/31/99. Estimates and Assumptions - ------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The 1998 financial statements reflect $3,060,000 million change in the reporting amount of building and equipment. SBI COMMUNICATIONS. INC AND SUBSIDIARIES --------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------------------- NOTE 1 (Cont'd) Property and Equipment - ---------------------- Property and equipment were stated at the lower of cost or market. In March 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all its property and equipment for net cash sales price of $3,940,000 due at closing. Subsequently, this sale was cancelled (see Note 9a). The Company has placed a stop order on the 1,500,000 shares of its preferred stock (valued at $7.5 million) issued to former owner of this property due to non-performance relative to reimbursement of Company for payment of $750,000 in delinquent Alabama property taxes. This preferred stock remains recorded as issued pending return receipt of the certificates. Income Taxes - ------------- The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires the use of the asset and liability method and recognizes deferred income taxes for the consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Statements of Cash Flows - ------------------------ For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Related Party Transactions - -------------------------- From time to time, the Company's principal shareholder advances money to the Company for operations. All amounts owed to the shareholder ($12,968) are non-interest bearing advances. In addition to advances, the Company accrued salaries payable to the Company's principal shareholder totaling $130,000 for the years ended December 1999 and 1998, respectively. All amounts owed to the shareholder are payable on demand. In October, 1995, the Company borrowed $250,000 from a trust managed by a shareholder, in the form of a mortgage note. The note was payable in full on October 15, 1996, with interest payable quarterly at prime plus 3%, secured by a second mortgage on The Piedmont Property. Fifty thousand dollars of this note was repaid in 1996 when due, and an additional $50,000 was repaid during 1997. The note has been extended on a quarter to quarter basis, with $150,000 remaining outstanding at December 31, 1998 and 1999. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - ------------------------------- Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undisclosed future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets are based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell. The December 31, 1999 and 1998 basis of the Property reflects this accounting policy. SBI COMMUNICATIONS. INC. AND SUBSIDIARY -------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------- NOTE 2 Piedmont Property Taxes - ----------------------- On April 28, 1995 the State of Alabama placed a tax lien on the previous owner of the Piedmont Property, Cranberry-Magnetite/Broadway Gas Corporation for admission taxes, in the amount of $750,000 plus 12% interest. The Company received a warranty deed from Cranberry Magnetite. After a legal action by Cranberry Magnetite with the State of Alabama failed in 1998, the Company paid this tax liability on behalf of Cranberry Magnetite/Broadway Gas Corporation. The Company attempted to recover these funds. NOTE 3 Stockholders' Equity - -------------------- In January 1998 the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock to cover the cost of PandaAmerica software programming. Such cost was recognized at $.10 per share, its fair market value ($2,500) and expensed in 1998. The Company also converted 40,000 shares of preferred shares to 200,000 shares of the Company common stock. Such preferred stock pays no dividends, has a liquidation value of $5.00 per share, and is convertible at 5 shares common stock for 1 share of preferred. NOTE 4 Net Loss Per Share - -------------------- The Company's net loss per share was calculated using 4,970,439 and 6,182,000 weighted average shares outstanding for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Although convertible preferred stock is a common stock equivalent, with a conversion rate of approximately 10 shares of common stock (based upon an approximate market price for common stock of $0.50) for each share of preferred stock, preferred stock conversion has not been included in the calculation of earnings per share in that to do so would be antidilutive. SBI COMMUNICATIONS. INC AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------------------ NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ NOTE 5 Mortgage Note Payable - --------------------- The Company borrowed $1,050,000 to pay the State of Alabama, on behalf of Cranberry-Magnetite, the previous owner tax liability of $748,422 and to pay old mortgage loan with a balance of $239,701 plus accrued interest. The loan amount which was borrowed from a private party lender, is secured by a first priority interest in the Piedmont property. NOTE 6 Income Taxes - ------------- Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows at December 31,1999: Deferred tax assets attributable to operating loss carry forwards $3,500,000 Valuation allowance due to uncertainty surrounding realization of operating loss carry forwards ($ 3,500,000) ------------ Total deferred taxes $ 0 ============ The Company has available at December 31, 1999, unused operating loss carry forwards, which may be applied against future taxable income, that expire as follows: Amount of Unused Expiration During Operating Loss Year Ended Carry Forwards December 31 --------------- ---------------- $ 200,000 2001 $ 550,000 2002 $ 1,200,000 2003 $ 300,000 2004 $ 490,000 2007 $ 340,000 2008 $ 320,000 2009 $ 650,000 2010 $ 1,050,000 2011 $ 700,000 2012 $ 3,836,000 2013 $ 289,000 2014 ------------- $ 9,925,000 ------------- SBI COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES --------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------- NOTE 7 Commitments, Risks and Contingencies - ------------------------------------ The Company has developed bingo productions to be broadcast via satellite in English and Spanish to the television market and the Internet, into homes of viewers throughout the World. Should local, state, or federal laws change regarding bingo sweepstakes, such changes could have a material impact on the ability of the Company to generate future revenues. The Company is the owner of record on the Piedmont Property and is therefore, responsible for all amounts attributable or assessed by state tax authorities. Management believes that $100,000 paid at closing will satisfy all obligations. The Company has a history or issuing common stock for services difficult to value or yet to be provided. Approximately 3,000,000 (or 57%) of the common stock outstanding at December 31, 1998, is restricted in some fashion as a result of the above transactions. Furthermore, the Company has in prior years canceled common stock certificates due to non-performance of the third parties involved in certain of the above transactions. Although no party to such transactions has yet instigated litigation involving the Company for cancellation or restriction of related shares, due to the volume of such transactions, litigation relating to such activity remains a possibility. Management believes all actions it has taken to cancel or restrict common stock are with merit, and does not anticipate any material loss being incurred by the Company relating to future resolution of these matters. The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. Ron Foster, shareholder and president, which expires on December 31, 2001. Under the agreement, Mr. Foster is entitled to $130,000 in minimum annual salary, cash bonuses of the lesser of 10% of revenues or 5% of pre-tax profits, and stock bonuses equivalent to 10% of pre-tax profits before depreciation. NOTE 8 Property and equipment - ----------------------- Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 1999 1998 ---- ------ Land $832,500 $832,500 Building 3,107,500 3,107,500 ------------ ------------ $3,940,000 $3,940,000 ============ ============ These amounts reflect a $3,060,000 reduction to the net realizable value based on application of the Company's impairment of long-lived assets policy. The impairment has been apportioned to the land and building so that the amounts recorded are consistent with the 1997 property appraisal. NOTE 9 Subsequent Events - ----------------- a)The Company intended to sell its building in Alabama before March 2000. The net sales price was $6,000,000 with a 20% cash down payment and realestate contract for $4.8 million at 9.00% interest payable monthly with balloon payment of $4,695,000 in five years. The note will be acquired at closing for $4.1 million in cash. The financial statements reflect a $3,060,000 million provision for net realizable value of the Piedmont Property as of 12/31/99 and 12/31/98 and no depreciation has been recognized. Negotiations continued and the closing never took place. Upon merger discussions with Valencia Entertainment International, LLC in September 2000, the building was planned to be used for new purposes. A 1997 appraisal indicates a $7.1 million valuation for the Alabama building. b)The Company intended on using the proceeds of Piedmont property sales to settle the two outstanding mortgage obligations and the equipment notes payable. However, since the sale did not close, the Company anticipates to refinance the property. c)The Company placed a stop order on 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock issued to the former owner of the Piedmont property in March 2000. Pr The preferred shares will be cancelled upon receipt of the stock certificates. d)In January 2000, the Company intends to receive all 2,500 shares issued by a new company, FrontierPlace.Com, a Nevada corporation. This wholly-owned subsidiary will operate proprietary software and copyrighted bingo programs over the Internet. This company will also provide a television network with programs promoting the Internet bingo and shopping website and will be characterized as a broadcast Internet service company. e)In February 2000, they issued 200,000 shares of restricted stock for the origination of a $150,000 loan from two parties (the "Holder") which will bear interest at 10.00% per annum. Principal and interest payable on 2/7/01 or demand of the Holder and loan is secured by all Company assets. Note is repayable at the option of the Holder in cash or upon exercise of stock options granted in February 2000 for 300,000 shares at $.50 per share. f)On January 12, 2000, the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an individual in consideration of a $5,000 cash payment and financial marketing services valued at $7,500 ($.12 per share). g) On October 2000 the Company split its common stock on a 2 for 1 basis. h) In November 2000 the Company agreed to merge with Valencia Entertainment International, LLC (VEI) in a reverse acquisition transaction whereby 75,709,965 million new shares will be issued to VEI for its net assets which approximate $6 million. NOTE 10 Restatement of Financial Statements - ------------------------------------ The balance sheet and statement of stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1999 and for the 12 month then ended have been restated to reflect a reversal of preferred stock cancellation. Originally in 1998, 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $5.00 per share was issued in connection with the purchase of the Company's building and land in Piedmont, Alabama. The preferred shares were cancelled due to non-performance under the sales contract. It now has been determined that this cancellation should not be recorded unless or until the preferred stock certificates are surrendered to the Company. The reversal is necessary for the financial statement to be in conformity with general accepted accounting principles. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT - ------------------------------- We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, stockholders' equity (restated), and cash flows of SBI Communications, Inc., and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000, and for the three-months and nine-months period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such as opinion. As indicated in Note 7, the stockholders' equity has been restated. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Jay J.

SBI COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY ----------------------------------------------- NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND DECEMBER 31, 1999 ----------------------------------------- Note 1 - Selected disclosures - ----------------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are for interim periods, do not included all disclosures provided in the annual consolidated audited financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999 of SBI Communications, Inc. (the "Company"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The September 30, 2000 financial statement was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations and cash flow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In August 2000 the Company split its common stock 2 for 1. All financial data in these statements reflects the post-split basis. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on and estimate of undisclosed future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets are based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such policy has been applied to property prior to September 30, 2000. Note 2 - Related party transactions - ---------------------------------- The Company accrued salaries payable to the Company's principal shareholder totaling $97,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and no accrued salaries for 2000, respectively. All amounts owed to the shareholder are payable on demand. Note 3 - Net loss per share - ----------------------------- The Company's net loss per share was calculated using 13,770,878 weighted average shares outstanding for ended September 30, 2000 and 11,140,878 for September 30, 1999 on a post split basis. Although convertible preferred stock is a common stock equivalent, with a conversion rate of each specific series of preferred share to common, preferred stock conversion has not been included in the calculation of earnings per share in that to do so would be antidilutive. Note 4 - Mortgage - ----------------- The company borrowed $1,050,000 to pay State of Alabama, on behalf of Cranberry-Magnetite/Broadway Gas Company, the previous owner's tax liability. Note 5 - Property and equipment - -------------------------------- Property and equipment consists of the following at September 30, 2000 Land $ 832,500 Building 3,182,500 ------------- $ 4,015,000 --------------- NOTE 6 - Subsequent Events - -------------------------- In October 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to issue 75,710,000 shares of common stock to acquire 100% ownership Valencia Entertainment International LLC ("Valencia"). This transaction will be treated as a reverse acquisition merger for accounting purposes. If the transaction would have taken place as of January 1, 2000, the Company's proforma consolidated net assets would be $10,221,168 the shares outstanding 88,034,843 net loss for nine months ended September 30, 2000 of $861,495, and net loss per share of $0.00. NOTE 7 - Restatement of Financial Statements - --------------------------------------------- The balance sheet and statement of stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2000 and for the 9 month then ended have been restated to reflect a reversal of preferred stock cancellation. Originally in 1998, 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $5.00 per share was issued in connection with the purchase of the Company's building and land in Piedmont, Alabama. The preferred shares were cancelled due to non-performance under the sales contract. It now has been determined that this cancellation should not be recorded unless or until the preferred stock certificates are surrendered to the Company. The reversal is necessary for the financial statement to be in conformity with general accepted accounting principles.

For purposes of calculating any Losses suffered by an indemnified party pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, the amount of the Losses suffered by the indemnified party shall be the net amount of damage so suffered after giving effect to any insurance proceeds recovered with respect to such matter. 7.4NOTICE TO INDEMNIFYING PARTY. If any party (the "Indemnified Party") receives notice of any claim or other commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other party (or parties) (the "Indemnifying Party") is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof which notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the Losses arising therefrom. Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in Section 7.5 hereof. 7.5DEFENSE BY INDEMNIFYING PARTY.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party, in its sole reasonable discretion, determines that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party thereof) and the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnifying Party does not have sufficient financial resources to fully defend the proceeding or to pay the claim or judgment, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the costs and expenses of more than one such separate counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. 8.MISCELLANEOUS 8.1FURTHER ASSURANCES.
