Letter of Intent to acquire the assets of Sea-Cam Productions, Inc., of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a 15 year-old media communications company who is a leader in
the Travel and Tourism Industry. The acquisition will lead to the development of a new world-class communications company.
Sea-Cam produces entertaining and informative videos, CD ROM's, multimedia productions and Web sites for resorts and other travel industry firms in the United

together, QuikBIZ's subsidiaries will provide Sea-Cam's existing clients with ''one-stop'' communication services. The broad-range of talent and resources available
through QuikBIZ, will provide us with an even greater competitive advantage in the marketplace,'' he said.
Mr. Monteiro has provided his services to ABC, CBS, NBC and TBS and is well known for his ''Sea-Cam Journal'' diving travel series, which ran daily on the
Travel Channel for more than 3 years. His ''Funniest Fish in the Sea'' for Nickelodeon earned him a Telly award. His commercials for Temptress Cruises earned

Tourism, Broward County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Coral Bay Cruises, Florida Keys Chamber of Commerce, Perry Ellis Fragrances, Temptress Cruises
and many diving resorts throughout the world.
David Bawarsky, president and CEO of QuikBIZ, said, ''As a result of this acquisition, we intend to create a new first-class media production facility. Having
George as part of our team also provides us with unmatched talent''.
