LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2001--WWMP (OTCBB:WWMP) management today announced that a one-for-five stock combination (reverse stock split) of WWMP common stock will be effective on Dec. 18, 2001. WWMP's shareholders had previously authorized WWMP's board of directors to conduct the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of WWMP's common stock. As of Nov. 30, 2001, there were 50,628,652 shares of common stock outstanding. After the reverse stock split becomes effective, there will be approximately 10,125,730 shares outstanding.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Cusip No. for the common stock was 981536 10 5. After the Effective Date, the Cusip No. will be 981536 20 4. On December 18 and thereafter, all certificates that are issued will be for the adjusted number of "new" shares.

Paul Hancock, WWMP's president/CEO, stated that, "Management believes the reduction in the number of outstanding shares will increase the market value per share and make it easier to create a more active public market for our common stock."

Hancock added: "The end result of this action will be to create a substantial increase in per share book value, coupled with a considerably more manageable issued and outstanding number of common shares. This should be helpful in management's endeavors relative to any mergers, acquisitions, financings and stock exchange listings to be undertaken by the company."
