III. CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS & EQUITY INTERESTS A. GENERAL OVERVIEW As required by the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan classifies claims and equity interests in various classes according to their right to priority. The Plan states whether each class of claims or equity interests is impaired or unimpaired. The Plan provides the treatment each class will receive. 1. UNCLASSIFIED CLAIMS Certain types of claims are not placed into voting classes; instead they are unclassified. They are not considered impaired and they do not vote on the Plan because they are automatically entitled to specific treatment provided for them in the Bankruptcy Code. As such, the Proponent has not placed the following claims in a class. 8 (a) Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses are claims for costs or expenses of administering the Debtor's Chapter 11 case which are allowed under Code section 507(a)(2). The Bankruptcy Code requires that all administrative claims be paid on the Effective Date of the Plan, unless a particular claimant agrees to a different treatment. The following chart lists all of the Debtor's ss. 507(a)(2) administrative claims and their treatment under the Plan: Name Amount Owed Treatment ---- ----------- --------- Administrative Up to To be paid on or before June 30, Lenders $50,000 2015, with interest at an annual (no more than if not converted rate of 6%, with the option to ten persons) convert the debt to Units (defined above) in the Reorganized Debtor and in each of the four Subsidiaries at a ratio of one Unit per five cents ($0.05) of loan principal within two years of the Effective Date of the Plan. Daniel C. Masters Subject to Court Subject to approval by the Court, Attorney for approval, an fee to be paid upon entry of a Debtor estimated fee of final order approving fee $40,000 (1) application. Clerk's Office Unknown Paid in full on Effective Date Fees Office of the $3,000 (estimated) Paid in full on Effective Date U.S. Trustee Fees TOTAL $43,000 (ESTIMATED) ---------- 1. This figure is an estimate. The amount paid will be based on an hourly fee of $400 and must be approved by the Court. Court Approval of Fees Required: The Court must rule on all fees paid to professionals employed by the estate before the professional will be entitled to receive such fees. (b) Priority Tax Claims Priority tax claims include certain unsecured income, employment and other taxes described by Code Section 507(a)(8). The Bankruptcy Code requires that 9 each holder of such a Section 507(a)(8) priority tax claim receive the present value of such claim in deferred cash payments, over a period not exceeding six years from the date of the assessment of such tax. The Debtor is not aware of any priority tax claims. 2. CLASSIFIED CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS (a) Classes of Secured Claims Secured Claims are claims secured by liens on property of the estate. The Debtor is not aware of any Secured Claims. (b) Classes of Priority Unsecured Claims Certain priority claims that are referred to in Code Sections 507(a)(1), (4), (5), (6), and (7) are required to be placed in classes. The Debtor is not aware of any claim that would qualify as an unsecured priority claim pursuant to Sections 507(a)(1), (4), (5), (6), or (7) of the Bankruptcy Code under this Plan. (c) Class of General Unsecured Claims General unsecured claims are unsecured claims not entitled to priority under Code Section 507(a). The Debtor has identified one class of holders of general unsecured claims. The following chart identifies this Plan's treatment of the class containing all of the Debtor's general unsecured creditor claims: IMPAIRED CLASS # DESCRIPTION (Y/N) TREATMENT ------- ----------- ----- --------- 1 General Yes In full satisfaction of their Unsecured respective Allowed Unsecured Claims, Claims of each Holder of an Allowed Class 1 Creditors Claim shall receive, immediately following the Effective Date: Total amount (A) the Holder's PRO RATA share of a of claims = cash pool of Forty Thousand Dollars $851,628 ($40,000); and (estimated) (B) the Holder's PRO RATA share of a pool of Eighty Thousand (80,000) Post-Consolidation Shares of Common Stock in the Reorganized Debtor; and 10 (C) the Holder's PRO RATA share of a pool of Eighty Thousand (80,000) Shares of Common Stock in each of the Debtor's Subsidiaries. (D) the Holder's PRO RATA share of 25% of gross profits (defined as gross sales minus the cost of goods sold) derived from all sales of spices and related products made by the Subsidiaries during the three years following confirmation of the Plan, or until aggregate distributions to Creditors made under the Plan (all cash payments and total value of Stock) shall equal the total amount of Creditor Claims, whichever occurs first. No fractional shares shall be issued. All calculations of shares in the Reorganized Debtor and its Subsidiaries to be issued to Holders of Unsecured Claims shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. (d) Class of Equity Interest Holders Equity Interest Holders are the parties who hold ownership interest (i.e., equity interest) in the Debtor. In this case the Debtor is a corporation, therefore entities holding preferred or common stock in the Debtor are equity interest holders. The following chart identifies the Plan's treatment of all equity interest holders: IMPAIRED CLASS # DESCRIPTION (Y/N) TREATMENT ------- ----------- ----- --------- 2 Equity Interest Yes This class consists of the Holders Pre-Consolidation Common Stock (holders of Interests in Debtor. This class holds, Shares of as of the date hereof, a total of Debtor's 1,000,000 shares of Debtor's common Common Stock) stock. Debtor's Common Stock will be consolidated such that Holders of Class 2 Equity Interests shall receive the following in full satisfaction of all Claims, Debts, Management Fees, Dividends and Interests: (A) The Holder's PRO RATA share of a pool of Five Thousand (5,000) Post-Consolidation Shares of Common Stock in the Reorganized Debtor; and 11 (B) Dinesh Perera, the principal shareholder of the Debtor, will receive 100,000 shares of Common Stock in each of the Debtor's Subsidiaries as partial compensation for his continued management of them. No fractional shares shall be issued. All calculations of shares in the Reorganized Debtor and its Subsidiaries shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. IV. MEANS OF EFFECTUATING THE PLAN A. FUNDING FOR THE PLAN The Debtor will file a Motion to borrow funds pursuant to Bankruptcy Code ss. 364(c) and (f). The Debtor's Motion to borrow funds is an integral part of this Plan. The Motion calls for authorization for the Debtor to borrow up to $50,000. These funds will be used to pay the administrative expenses of the bankruptcy. In return for these funds the Debtor will issue notes which shall be due and payable on June 30, 2015 and will bear interest at the rate of 6%, payable annually. The Notes will be issued to no more than ten persons. Anytime within two years after the Effective Date of the Plan, holders of the Debtor's Notes may elect to convert such notes to Units in the Debtor and in the Debtor's Subsidiaries at a ratio of one (1) Unit per five cents ($0.05) of loan principal. Each such Unit will consist of one (1) share of the Debtor's common stock and one (1) "A" Warrant allowing the holder to purchase one share of Debtor's common stock at an exercise price of $3.00, one (1) "B" Warrant allowing the holder to purchase one share of Debtor's common stock at an exercise price of $4.00, one (1) "C" Warrant allowing the holder to purchase one share of Debtor's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00, one (1) "D" Warrant allowing the holder to purchase one share of Debtor's common stock at an exercise price of $6.00, and one (1) "E" Warrant allowing the holder to purchase one share of Debtor's common stock at an exercise price of $7.00. All warrants 12 are exercisable at any time during the five year period immediately following the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any other provision governing the Warrants, if as of the date of exercise, the Debtor or one of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has registered its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a Warrant Holder may not exercise Warrants in that company to the extent that immediately following such exercise the Holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the registered company. For this purpose, a representation of the Holder that following such exercise it would not beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the company shall be conclusive and binding upon the company. The exercise price for a Warrant may be reduced, but not increased, by vote of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. All Warrants shall expire, if not previously exercised or cancelled, five years after the Effective Date, unless extended or called by vote of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. If called, the Directors shall give holders of the Warrants a period of not less than thirty (30) days following notice of the call during which they may exercise their Warrants. A holder of Warrants may convert the Warrants, in whole or in part, to Common Stock without paying the cash exercise price. In that case the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value, as of the date of conversion, of the shares of Common Stock of the Company which would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be converted minus the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price of the shares of Common Stock of the Company which would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by (b) the said fair market value of one share of the Common Stock of the Company. 13 Assuming the Motion to borrow funds is approved, the Debtor will have sufficient cash on hand on the Effective Date to make the payments required under the Plan. B. PROPOSED FUNDING BY YONJA Management of Yonja has agreed to provide additional funding, up to a maximum of $40,000, to supplement the Debtor's cash and to ensure that there will be sufficient funds on hand at the Effective Date to make the payments required under the Plan. Yonja earned a net profit of approximately $461,439 in the year ending December 31, 2009 and will provide the proposed $40,000 funding from its cash on hand. Because the Debtor will acquire Yonja, effectively merging Yonja's operations into the Debtor, no repayment of these funds by the Debtor to Yonja need be made. C. THE DEBTOR'S BUSINESS OPERATIONS & MANAGEMENT AFTER PLAN CONFIRMATION After the Effective Date of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor will continue its business and manage its affairs without the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtor will immediately acquire The Yonja Group, A.S. (hereafter "Yonja") by issuing to Yonja's owner, Yuksel Pisik, 4,000,000 shares of the Reorganized Debtor's Common Stock. The CEO and COO of Yonja, Yuksel Pisik and Okan Torun, will become the Directors and the CEO and COO respectively of the Reorganized Debtor. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtor will be managed by Mr. Pisik and Mr. Torun. The Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtor shall have all of the powers granted to any board of directors by the California codes and other applicable state or federal laws, and it may act pursuant to any and all powers granted to it under the California Corporation Code including entering into agreements to transfer, convey, encumber, use, license and lease any and all of its assets, issue securities, and/or acquire companies or assets for securities or debt. The Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtor may also reincorporate the Debtor 14 in another U.S. jurisdiction. Information concerning the background and qualifications of Mr. Pisik and Mr. Torun is set forth in the Disclosure Statement. To implement this Plan, the Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtor shall take all steps required by the Code and other state and federal laws and all steps desirable in furtherance of its business plan and, in order to perform such implementation in a cost effective manner, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to vary, alter or revise any of the steps outlined in this Plan or necessary to its business without shareholder approval so long as such change does not negatively affect any of the distributions provided for by the Plan. After implementing the proposed Plan of Reorganization, the Reorganized Debtor will have the following share structure: 80,000 Common Shares will be held, PRO RATA according to amount owed them by the Debtor, by the Class 1 Unsecured Creditors, and 5,000 Common Shares will be held, PRO RATA according to number of shares they now hold in the Debtor, by the Class 2 Equity Interest Holders / Shareholders. An additional 4,000,000 Common Shares will be held by the former owner of Yonja, Yuksel Pisik, paid to him in exchange for his interests in Yonja. Thus there will be a total of approximately 4,085,000 shares issued and outstanding in the Reorganized Debtor immediately after the Effective Date. In addition, up to 1,000,000 Units, including 1,000,000 Common Shares, will be held by administrative lenders if these lenders choose to convert their Notes to Units. In that event, there would be a total of approximately 5,085,000 shares issued and outstanding in the Debtor. Further, there would be 5,000,000 warrants outstanding convertible into an additional 5,000,000 Common Shares. Conversion of all of these Warrants at the stated exercise price would require 15 an investment totaling $25,000,000 and would increase the total number of shares issued and outstanding to 10,085,000. All securities issued to creditors (including administrative claimants) and equity interest holders under the Plan will be issued exempt from any and all state and federal securities registration requirements pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. D. THE DIVESTITURE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE SUBSIDIARIES AFTER CONFIRMATION In support of the Debtor's Plan of Reorganization, and in order to enhance the Debtor's distribution to its Creditors, all of the Debtor's Subsidiaries will become independent operating companies, owned by the Debtor's creditors and its President, Dinesh Perera, and, potentially, by its administrative lenders. The President of each Subsidiary will be Dinesh Perera, the current President of the Debtor and the Subsidiaries. Information concerning the background and qualifications of Mr. Perera is set forth in the Disclosure Statement. The Debtor will distribute Shares and Units in each of its Subsidiaries as follows: 80,000 Common Shares will be held, PRO RATA according to amount owed them by the Debtor, by the Class 1 General Unsecured Creditors, and 100,000 Common Shares will be held by Dinesh Perera, the President of each Subsidiary. Thus there will be a total of 180,000 shares issued and outstanding in each of the Subsidiaries. In addition, up to 1,000,000 Units (including 1,000,000 Common Shares) will be held by administrative lenders in each Subsidiary if these lenders choose to convert their Notes to Units. In that event, there would be a total of approximately 1,180,000 shares issued and outstanding in each of the Subsidiaries. Further, there would be 5,000,000 warrants outstanding convertible into an additional 5,000,000 Common Shares. Conversion of all of these Warrants 16 would require an investment totaling $25,000,000 in each Subsidiary in which the Warrants were exercised. Any shares held by the Reorganized Debtor in any of the Subsidiaries following the above distributions will be cancelled and there will be no further relationship between or among the Debtor and its former Subsidiaries. The Debtor's Subsidiaries will emerge from the proceedings as independent companies. The Directors of the Subsidiaries shall take all steps required or desirable in reorganizing and revitalizing the Subsidiaries, including incorporating or reincorporating them in another jurisdiction or under another name. E. DISBURSING AGENT AND METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION The Reorganized Debtor shall act as the Disbursing Agent for the purpose of making all distributions provided for under the Plan which are required to be made on or immediately following the Effective Date. This Disbursing Agent shall serve without bond and shall receive no compensation for distribution services rendered and expenses incurred pursuant to the Plan. The Reorganized Debtor shall hold any checks paid to Creditors by the Reorganized Debtor which are returned as undeliverable for a period of six months after the date the check was first mailed. Any checks not claimed or cashed after six months will revest in the Reorganized Debtor. One or more of the Subsidiaries shall act as the Disbursing Agent for the purpose of making all quarterly distributions from the gross profits on sales of spices and related products earned by the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiary shall hold any checks returned as undeliverable for a period of six months after the date the check was first mailed. Any checks not claimed or cashed after six months will be held by the Subsidiary. If funds are still owed to creditors three years after the Effective Date, funds from checks not previously claimed 17 or cashed will be distributed to the remaining creditors. However, if funds are not owed to creditors three years after the effective date, funds from checks not previously claimed or cashed will revest in the issuing Subsidiary. The Reorganized Debtor shall retain the services of a bonded stock transfer agent to prepare stock certificates and maintain records of stock ownership in the Reorganized Debtor and in each Subsidiary. Evidence of stock ownership will be distributed to all Class 1 general unsecured creditors and all Class 2 equity interest holders, and, if they convert their loans to equity, to the administrative lenders. All creditors and interest holders will be informed of the information they must provide to the transfer agent and the procedure they must follow to obtain their certificates. Any certificates not claimed after six months will revest in the issuer corporation. F. RETENTION OF CLAIMS The following claims shall be retained by the bankruptcy estate post-confirmation or, if owned by the Debtor's Subsidiaries, shall be vested in the bankruptcy estate on the Effective Date: (1) all avoidance actions arising under the Bankruptcy Code or under state law, (2) all claims by the Debtor and/or its Subsidiaries against officers, directors, or insiders, (3) all contract, tort or other claims of any kind held by the Debtor and/or its Subsidiaries against third parties, and (4) all claims for equitable subordination. Any net proceeds from the prosecution of such claims shall be deposited into a bank account for the benefit of Unsecured Creditors and shall be distributed PRO RATA to them. G. UNITED STATES TRUSTEE QUARTERLY FEES The Reorganized Debtor shall be responsible for timely payment of fees incurred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 1930(a)(6). After confirmation, the 18 Reorganized Debtor shall file with the Court and serve on the United States Trustee a quarterly financial report regarding all income and disbursements, including all plan payments, for each quarter (or portion thereof) the case remains open. H.

POST-CONFIRMATION QUARTERLY REPORTS Quarterly after entry of the order confirming the Plan, the Plan Proponent shall file Quarterly Post-Confirmation Reports with the Court and pay Trustee's fees in accordance with the United States Trustee's Operating and Reporting Requirements. The report shall be served on the United States Trustee, the members of the Official Committee of Creditors (if any), and those parties who have requested special notice. E. POST-CONFIRMATION CONVERSION/DISMISSAL A creditor or party in interest may bring a motion to convert or dismiss the case under ss. 1112(b), after the Plan is confirmed, if there is a default in performing the Plan. A default shall be deemed to have occurred if the Debtor 20 or any party in interest fails to take any action required of that party under the Plan or Confirmation Order. If the Court orders the case converted to Chapter 7 after the Plan is confirmed, then all property that had been property of the Chapter 11 estate, and that has not been disbursed pursuant to the Plan, will revest in the Chapter 7, estate. The automatic stay will be reimposed upon the revested property, but only to the extent that relief from stay was not previously authorized by the Court during this case. F. FINAL DECREE Once the estate has been fully administered as referred to in Bankruptcy Rule 3022, the Plan Proponent, or such other party as the Court shall designate in the Plan Confirmation Order, shall file a motion with the Court to obtain a final decree to close the case.
