Janice, do you think the lawyers over at Steinhart might get a kick over how Pugs thought an affidavit by AZNT CEO Mike Sylver, written in response to a motion for contempt of court sanctions against, was actually an "appellate brief"! You don't think Mr. Sylver, as alleged by the AZNT stooges, really was trying to help BW with their case against us... do you? (gg)

AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL A. SYLVER STATE OF NEVADA ) ) ss: COUNTY OF CLARK )
MICHAEL A SYLVER, being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That I am a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada.
2. That I have full and accurate knowledge of the facts contained herein, save those items represented to be based upon information and belief and I am fully competent to testify to the same in a court of law.
3. Based upon information and belief, Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. is a victim of an ongoing stock shorting scare, which stems out of Vancouver, British Columbia. To this date, the SEC and the authorities have arrested 93 people in connection with illegal shorting and wrongdoing of various companies' stock. These perpetrators have gone as far as to try to extort a lady who did not comply with their demands. She was then murdered and found with two bullet holes in the back of her head.
4. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. is also a victim of these illegal shorters and stock perpetrators as duly noted in Civil Case No. CV-S-98-01247-LDG(RLH) and as a matter of court record, the mastermind behind the illegal shorting is Charles Kricfalusi. Working in concert with Charles Kricfalusi is:
- Michael Zappara - Greig Tiefer of Nextech, Inc. - Cary Cimino - James Noryian - Andy Mann - George Doumanis - Wellrich & Co. - First Concorde Securities, Ltd. - Whitecliffe Investment Fund Ltd. - Shoreline Securities Ltd. - Canaccord Capital Corp. - The Canadian Depository - The Depository Trust Company - and many other unnamed parties
5. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc.'s stock was shorted from a high of close to $4.00 to a low of $0.12. Therefore, not enabling Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. to raise any capital from their private placement. Over the past year, Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. has depleted all of their capital resources and is unable to pay any of their creditors nor buy supplies to run the day to day operation. On the average, Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. payables are running 180 - 200 days past due.
6. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. owns no material equipment that can be sold for cash. All Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc.'s equipment and vehicles are either leased or encumbered.
7. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. has received notification that it will become delisted from the stock market on September 6, 1999 if the 10K audit is not complete. At this point in time, Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. does not have any financial resources to pay the auditors.
8. From the miniscule amount of money that comes into the company from sales of products, the company is only able to set-up payment arrangements with the utility companies to keep the lights and telephones operational. Once the illegal shorters, namely Charles Kricfalusi and his subordinates are brought to justice, Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. will once again be able to function as a vibrant thriving company.
9. I have never received a paycheck or any other monies from Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. I have no other source of income. My savings have been depleted. My home is in foreclosure and is scheduled for sale in the near future. In order to prevent the utilities in my house from being shut off or foreclosure from happening I will either have to go on welfare or file bankruptcy.
My wife has not gone shopping for groceries in over three months. We are eating can goods from our cupboards and handouts from friends and family members.
I do not even have a bank account.
I have been shot at, ran off the road, harassed, intimidated, extorted all by Charles Kricfalusi and his illegal group of stock shorters and manipulators.
10. Henry W. Schlumpf, Special Agent FBI, Meredith Munroe of the Securities Exchange Commission along with Detective Hnatuick of the Las Vegas Metro Police have opened an investigation to bring Charles Kricfalusi and his illegal group of stock shorters and manipulators to justice.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has blue-slipped all the market makers of Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc.'s stock including Torrey Pines for shorting and wrongdoing.
