Your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with this action. Pursuant to Section 78.370 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, you are hereby being provided with notice of the approval by written consent of a majority of the eligible voting stockholders of the Company.

The attached Information Statement is being provided to you pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Information Statement contains a more detailed description of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. I encourage you to read the Information Statement thoroughly. BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, August __, 2003 Karl Douglas Co-Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND REGULATION 14C AND SCHEDULE 14C THEREUNDER We Are Not Asking You for a Proxy and You Are Requested Not To Send Us a Proxy This Information Statement is furnished by the board of directors of WARP Technology Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Company"), to the holders of record at the close of business on July 3, 2003 (the "Record Date") of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.00001 per share ("Common Stock"), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). The Company's board of directors have unanimously approved resolutions: (a) to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share, of the Company from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares; and (b) to authorize the creation of 50,000,000 shares of par value $.00001 per share blank check preferred stock whereby the board of directors, subject to limitations prescribed by law, is authorized to issue such shares of preferred stock in series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The Company has received the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company for the foregoing actions. The filing of a Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, which will effect the foregoing actions, will not be done until a date that is at least twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement. This Information Statement will be sent on or about August __, 2003 to the Company's stockholders of record who have not been solicited for their consent of this corporate action. OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS As of the Record Date, the Company's authorized capitalization consisted of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share, of which 67,064,826 were issued and outstanding as of such Record Date. Holders of Common Stock of the Company have no preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe to any of the additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders. However, because stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock as at the Record Date have voted in favor of the foregoing proposals by resolution dated July 7, 2003; and having sufficient voting power to approve such proposals through their ownership of capital stock, no other stockholder consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the proposals will not be adopted until a date at least 20 days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the stockholders. The Company anticipates that the actions contemplated herein will be effected on or about the close of business on August __, 2003. The Company has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material. This Information Statement will serve as written notice to stockholders pursuant to Section 78.370 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION The Company's board of directors and a majority of the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on the matter have approved an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and to authorize the creation of 50,000,000 shares of par value $.00001 per share blank check preferred stock. On the Record Date, the Company had authorized capital stock of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and approximately 67,064,826 of those shares were issued and outstanding. The board of directors believes that the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock will give the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company's capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financing and stock based acquisitions. Increase In Authorized Common Stock The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment will not alter the current number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or the percentage ownership of that Common Stock by our current stockholders and the relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this proposal. However, because holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by the Company will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock and could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share and book value per share of the Company. As of the Record Date, a total of 67,064,826 shares of the Company's currently authorized shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. Of the 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently authorized, 32,935,174 were authorized but unissued as of the Record Date. The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock resulting from the amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation will enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes. The Company currently depends on the sale of its equity securities to finance its ongoing operations. Therefore, the Company anticipates issuing additional shares of Common Stock, either through private or public sales or upon the conversion of as yet unissued convertible securities, to raise additional capital over the next twelve (12) month period. The Company, however, has no current commitments, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, relating to the sale of additional shares of its Common Stock. In April 2003, the Company executed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire iMimic Networking, Inc. ("iMimic"), a Texas corporation, through a share exchange transaction. Subject to the terms and conditions of the final documents, the Company intends to acquire iMimic through a share exchange between the Company and the holders of all the capital stock of iMimic. Under the current terms of the letter of intent, at the closing of the transaction the capital shareholders of iMimic will be issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of iMimic. The Company's proposed acquisition of iMimic is subject to certain conditions, including each party's due diligence review of the other party. Therefore, the Company cannot state with certainty that this transaction will close or, if it does close, that the final terms will be the same as those described above. The Company has no current plans or intent to issue additional shares of its Common Stock through stock splits or dividends, through present or future employee benefit programs or through other corporate programs. One of the effects of the amendment might be to enable the board of directors to render it more difficult to, or discourage an attempt to, obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of present management. The board of directors would, unless prohibited by applicable law, have additional shares of Common Stock available to effect transactions (such as private placements) in which the number of the Company's outstanding shares would be increased and would thereby dilute the interest of any party attempting to gain control of the Company. Such action could discourage an acquisition of the Company, which stockholders might view as desirable. The Company has no anti-takeover provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws or other corporate governance documents or in any of its other material agreements. The Company has no current plans or proposals to implement or adopt any anti-takeover provisions or enter into any agreements or arrangements that have anti-takeover consequences. However, the Company's management could use the additional shares of authorized capital stock to resist or frustrate a proposed third-party transaction that would give shareholders an above market premium for their shares even if that transaction were favored by a majority of the Company's independent shareholders. Creation Of Blank Check Preferred Stock The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will create 50,000,000 authorized shares of par value $.00001 per share "blank check" preferred stock. Article IV of the proposed Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation attached as Exhibit "A" to this Information Statement contains provisions related to the "blank check" preferred stock. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the proposed Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation as set forth in Exhibit "A." The term "blank check" refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by the stockholders and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by the board of directors of the Company upon issuance. The authorization of such blank check preferred stock will permit the board of directors to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. Subject to the provisions of the Company's Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the limitations prescribed by law, the board of directors will be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the Company's common stockholders. The board of directors will be required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company intends to issue shares of preferred stock in the future to help finance the operations of the Company. The authorization of the blank check preferred stock will allow the Company to proceed with a potential equity financing that is under discussion as of the date hereof. At this stage of the discussions, however, the Company does not know the amount, terms, rights, preferences or other features of any such preferred stock and cannot state with certainty that such discussions will result in the actual issuance of a series of preferred stock. In the event that current discussions do result in a series of preferred stock being issued by the Company, the amount, terms, rights, preferences or other features of any such preferred stock will be determined based upon, among other things, the general economic climate, the financial results and condition of the Company, the market value of the Company's Common Stock, the demands of prospective investors and the advice of the Company's financial advisers. As a result, the amount, terms, rights, preferences or other features of any series of preferred stock to be issued by the Company could not be stated or predicted with certainty at the date of filing of this Information Statement. It is not possible to state the effects of the proposed amendment upon the rights of holders of Common Stock until the board of directors determines the respective rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock. However, the issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of directors' authority described above may adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock. Specifically, the effects of such issuances of preferred stock could include (i) reduction of the amount of cash otherwise available for payment of dividends on Common Stock, if any, (ii) restrictions on dividends on Common Stock, (iii) dilution of the voting power of Common Stock, and (iv) restrictions on the rights of holders of Common Stock to share in the Company's assets on liquidation until satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of such subsequently designated series of preferred stock. For example, preferred stock issued by the Company may rank prior to the Common Stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preferences or both, may have full or limited voting rights, and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets allocable to or available for distribution to holders of Common Stock and adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights of the Common Stock, and may discourage bids for the Common Stock or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. The amendment will provide the Company with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security in addition to its Common Stock, as it will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by the board of directors for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes could include, without limitation, issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital for use by the Company, or issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by the Company for acquisitions of other businesses or assets. Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of the Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the board of directors to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the board of directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally. While the amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, the board of directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by the amendment outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the amendment may have anti-takeover effects, the amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire the Company to negotiate directly with the board of directors enabling the board of directors to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders' interests.
