LETTER OF INTENT WITH BRITISH LION MEDICAL, INC. LMU & Company, Inc. has signed a Letter of Intent with British Lion Medical, Inc. ("BLM") regarding a reverse acquisition by the Company of BLM. Legal counsel for the Company and BLM are currently preparing a definitive Share Exchange Agreement which will incorporate the provisions of the Letter of Intent. Management of the Company expects that the Share Exchange Agreement will be executed by both companies before the Shareholders meeting scheduled for February 2, 1999, but there is no assurance that an Exchange Agreement will be executed or that the transaction contemplated thereby will be consummated. Under the terms of the Letter of Intent and the draft Share Exchange Agreement, the Company is required to have its Shareholders approve (1) a 1 for 5 reverse stock split; (2) a change of the name of the Company to "Amerimmune Pharmaceuticals, Inc."; (3) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 6 billion to 50 million; and (4) an authorization of 10 million shares of Preferred Stock. If the Shareholders approve each of the four items above, the implementation of these changes will be contingent upon the closing of the proposed transaction with BLM. If this transaction closes, the current management and Board of Directors of BLM will become the management and Board of Directors of the Company. BRITISH LION MEDICAL, INC. The Company British Lion Medical, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in California in August 1997 and commenced operations in October 1998. The Company intends to engage in the pharmaceutical business with the primary purpose of developing Cytolin(R), a drug designed to protect the immune system, especially in patients suffering from Human Immunodeficiency Virus ("HIV"). The Company believes that Cytolin(R) is important for the growing number of patients who have become resistant to drugs currently used to treat the HIV/AIDS virus. The Company intends to use the proceeds from a private offering currently in process to seek governmental approval from the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its product, Cytolin(R). 2 In October 1998, the Company entered into a Patent and Trademark License Agreement with Three R Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("Three R") ("License Agreement"), to obtain an irrevocable, exclusive worldwide license to use the technology and all improvements, applications and patents for any improvement which may be acquired by Three R. Previously, Three R had entered into a Termination, Sale and Shareholder Agreement with Allen D. Allen ("Allen") and CytoDyn(R) of New Mexico, Inc., a New Mexico corporation ("CytoDyn(R)"), dated August 1, 1998 ("Purchase Agreement") whereby: (i) CytoDyn(R) would relinquish the exclusive license to use the technology and patents previously granted by Allen, and assign the trademark name to Three R in exchange for shares of the Company's stock; and (ii) Allen would convey all United States Patent rights, foreign patent rights, and all technological know-how underlying the drug, Cytolin(R), to Three R. The Purchase Agreement is subject to the following conditions: (i) Three R would grant an exclusive worldwide license to the patent rights and sublicense the trademark name to the Company; (ii) the Company would enter into an agreement with Western Center for Clinical Studies, Inc., a California corporation ("WCCS"), for purposes of assisting the Company in obtaining the approval of the FDA necessary to market the product for commercial use; and (iii) the Company would merge with and into a public company. The Company's offices are located at 21550 Oxnard Street, Suite 835, Woodland Hills, California 91367. Its telephone number is (818) 676-0404. The Company has not generated any revenue and its only material asset is the license agreement discussed above. Management of British Lion Medical, Inc.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT The Board of Directors has proposed, subject to Shareholder approval, a 1 for 5 reverse split of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. There are presently 1,284,116 shares outstanding, and the reverse split will therefore reduce this number to approximately 256,850 shares. No fractional shares will be issued and instead a whole share will be issued to any Shareholder entitled to a fraction of a share. The reverse split is being proposed because the Company has entered into a letter of intent to acquire BLM. One of the requirements of the letter of intent is that the Company do a 1 for 5 reverse split before the closing. Under the terms of the letter of intent, the Company will issue 8,304,820 shares (post split) to the shareholders of BLM. After the closing and the reverse split, there will be approximately 8,561,670 shares outstanding. A reverse stock split has no federal income tax consequences in that it is a non-taxable distribution of the Company's stock under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code. A shareholder's basis in each 5 shares before the reverse split will become the basis in one share after the reverse split. Voting and Board of Directors Recommendation An affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding will be required to approve the proposed 1 for 5 reverse split. The Board of Directors recommends approval of the proposed 1 for 5 reverse split. AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION CONCERNING THE NAME CHANGE The Board of Directors is proposing to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation by changing Article I of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to read as follows: "ARTICLE I NAME The name of the Corporation shall be Amerimmune Pharmaceuticals, Inc." The change is being proposed in order to reflect the name of the proposed new business of the Company as required by the Letter of Intent with BLM. 5 Voting and Board of Directors Recommendation An affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding will be required to approve the proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors recommends approval of this proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION CONCERNING A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND CHANGE IN PAR VALUE The Board of Directors is proposing to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation by reducing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 6 billion shares to 50 million shares and to reduce the par value from $.05 to $.01 per share. This change is being proposed in order to comply with the Letter of Intent and to better accommodate the capitalization needs of the new business. Voting and Board of Directors Recommendation An affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding will be required to approve the proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors recommends approval of this proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE PREFERRED STOCK The Company's Board of Directors has proposed an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation which would authorize the Company to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). If the proposed amendment is approved, the Board of Directors would be empowered, without the necessity of further action or authorization by the Company's stockholders (unless required in a specific case by applicable laws or regulations or stock exchange rules), to authorize the issuance of the Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series, and to fix by resolution or resolutions, designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of each of such series. Each series of Preferred Stock could, as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance, rank, with respect to dividends and redemption and liquidation rights, senior to the Company's common stock. No preferred stock is presently authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The amendment would authorize the Board of Directors to determine, among other things, with respect to each series of Preferred Stock which may be issued: (a) the distinctive designation and number of shares constituting such series; (b) the dividend rates, if any, on the shares of that series and whether dividends would be payable in cash, property, rights or securities; (c) whether dividends would be non-cumulative, cumulative to the extent earned, partially cumulative or cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the series would accumulate; (d) whether, and upon what terms and conditions, the shares of that series would be convertible into or exchangeable for other securities or cash or other property or rights; (e) 6 whether, and upon what terms and conditions, the shares of that series would be redeemable; (f) the rights and the preferences, if any, to which the shares of that series would be entitled in the event of voluntary or involuntary dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (g) whether a sinking fund would be provided for the redemption of the series and, if so, the terms of and amounts payable into such sinking fund; (h) whether the holders of such securities would have voting rights and the extent of those voting rights; (i) whether the issuance of any additional shares of such series, or of any other series, shall be subject to restrictions as to issuance or as to the powers, preferences or rights of any such other series; and (j) any other preferences, privileges and relative rights of such series as the Board of Directors may deem advisable. Holders of the Company's common stock have no preemptive right to purchase or otherwise acquire any Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. Reasons for and Possible Effects of Proposed Amendment The Board of Directors recommends the authorization of Preferred Stock to increase the Company's financial flexibility. The Board believes that the complexity of modern business financing and acquisition transactions requires greater flexibility in the Company's capital structure than now exists. The Preferred Stock would be available for issuance from time to time as determined by the Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes might include, without limitation, issuance in public or private sales for cash as a means of obtaining additional capital for use in the Company's business and operations, and issuance as part of all of the consideration required to be paid by the Company for acquisitions of other businesses or properties. It is not possible to state the precise effect of the authorization of the Preferred Stock upon the rights of holders of the Company's common stock until the Board of Directors determines the respective preferences, limitations and relative rights of the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock. However, such effect might include: (a) reduction in the amount otherwise available for payment of dividends on common stock, to the extent dividends are payable on any issued shares of Preferred Stock and restrictions on dividends on common stock if dividends on the Preferred Stock are in arrears; (b) dilution of the voting power of the common stock to the extent that the Preferred Stock has voting rights; and (c) the holders of common stock not being entitled to share in the Company's assets upon liquidation until satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the Preferred Stock. The amendment may be viewed as having the effect of discouraging an unsolicited attempt by another person or entity to acquire control of the Company. Issuance of authorized preferred shares can be implemented, and have been implemented by some companies in recent years, with voting or conversion privileges intended to make acquisition of a company more difficult or more costly. Such an issuance could discourage or limit stockholders' participation in certain types of transactions that might be proposed (such as a tender offer), whether or not such transactions were favored by the majority of the stockholders, and could enhance the ability of officers and directors to retain their positions. Vote Required and Board Recommendation The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding will be required to approve the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. 7 The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS The Board of Directors has not yet determined the date on which the next Annual Meeting of the Shareholders will be held. Any proposal by a Shareholder intended to be presented at the Company's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received at the offices of the Company a reasonable amount of time prior to the date on which the information or proxy statement for that meeting are mailed to Shareholders in order to be included in the Company's information or proxy statement relating to that meeting. OTHER BUSINESS As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management of the Company was not aware of any other matter to be presented at the Meeting other than as set forth herein.
