ABOUT NVID PRODUCTS

I am an investor in NVID. I never heard of NVID or its principals until about a year ago. I am also a business consultant and I have the privilege of seeing numerous businesses from "the inside." No, I am not a consultant to NVID.

I know what you mean about trying to separate fact from fiction. I have spoken with several individuals at NVID, some on several occasions. They have been very cordial and helpful. It is apparent that they have numerous avenues of opportunity to explore for their products.

And that's great! But it also poses the problem of determining exactly which avenue to pursue first. Some avenues require stringent licensing and long term testing, etc., while other avenues provide quicker entry into a market, thereby generating needed cash flow so the company can pursue the other avenues and markets available.

I suspect current sales are coming from the existing AQUA BIO TECH business. This income would provide current cash flow. AQUA BIO TECH is an existing viable business and has been for quite some time.

As for "Microsafe," my understanding is that the products that come under the basic "Microsafe line" are varied according to their specific application (there are currently around 20 applications). As each product is marketed, it will probably carry whatever name is best suited for the particular market and clearly distinguishes it from its competitors.

I don't know if an actual problem exists with the name Microsafe. But whether it is a "legal" issue or not, if there is any chance there might be confusion or questions in the marketplace, it would be best to NOT use that name. But it really doesn't matter at this point! The name is not needed yet because the products are not yet available for retail sale. When full scale marketing begins, then certainly the name itself, and the exclusivity of the name, will be very important. So...

Q: Is there a product?
MY OPINION: Yes, AQUA BIO TECHNOLOGIES sells existing systems.

Q: Is there a Microsafe product?
MY OPINION: I believe there are several effective formulas (suited to various applications) that do essentially what NVID says they will do. I don't believe they are yet available for retail sale. These formulas are in R&D until they actually go into full scale production. It is not unusual for a company to keep proprietary information confidential.

I would assume that in their previous tests of the formulas, they probably discovered ways to improve upon what they already had. Not surprising. In fact, that would be a good, sound business practice.

Currently, they are probably refining the formulas to make them as effective as possible. It slows the process up a bit, but it is the best thing to do from a business standpoint. Mr. Bunte has not told me this specifically. He is very guarded about what he says and having read how some people have chosen to interpret some of his previous statements, I can easily understand why.

I understand that ,yes, they would like to respond, but their attorney says not to at this time. But, Mr. Bunte, and the others at NVID with whom I spoke, all seem genuine in their approach and in their enthusiasm for the products. Their explanations, while vague at times, have provided me with an adequate picture to make filling in the blanks a little easier. I have never seen a business that didn't have obstacles of some kind along the way.

I think it is possible they are getting misguided advise from their attorney. The Internet is becoming a strong medium for investors. I think their attorney might assume that the Internet is "no big deal." I have not spoken with him, so, again, that is just my opinion. Perhaps he has other reasons. I don't know.

Of course, there have been some questions raised about the formulas that it would be inappropriate to answer right now because of the proprietary nature of the formulas. That is not unusual when products are still in the R&D phase. Especially when the products have such enormous potential. I say that based on my own experience in business. So I don't have a problem with that.

Mr. Bunte has stated that when they are fully prepared to announce news, they will do so. I would think that if they were simply looking to reap profits by selling off their own shares of stock, they would be making every effort to push the stock price as high as possible. But, as is obvious, their silence has only served to allow others to drive the price down, creating an opportunity for investors willing to accept the risks.

I don't profess to have all the answers. But, I certainly view NVID's position in a different light than some of the other viewpoints expressed here on the net. Short of getting a job at NVID, we may all have to wait until one of the products hits the retail shelf before we will be able to try it ourselves.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And typically, potential for a huge return carries a corresponding level of risk. I am convinced the products work... either because of the principals or in spite of them.

No, I don't believe everything I hear whether it comes from sources that are pro-NVID or anti-NVID. I'm sure the people that are not convinced have reasons that are equally justifiable to them. I can see where controversy can occur from pieces of information that seem quite understandable in one light, can seem completely unreasonable in another. Often, the side a person takes comes from their own perception of what is "reasonable risk." That is for each individual to decide. I say, "Go with what your gut instinct tells you." Is NVID for you? Only you can determine that. I understand that this a high risk investment. It's very high risk. But I'm in. I'm in because I think if this "hits," it will be enormous!!

I have read nearly every single posting on this thread and on the NVID INTERNATIONAL thread right from the very beginning. It all comes down to me. It's my money I'm investing. Is the potential return worth the risk?

A person should only invest wherein they are willing to accept the corresponding risk.

Best wishes to you, "bral."
Brad
