(OTC Bulletin Board: SEVU) (website: www.sevu.com) today released preliminary 2nd Quarter gross sales estimates totaling $1,496,518.79, an increase of 410% compared with Q2 1999 ($364,729.00). "Having product in the retail arena has paid off," stated Dan Mehosky, senior VP. "We're continuing a massive increase in Marine Division production to eliminate backorders, which are currently averaging about 800 units on a 2-week cycle." The Company's SecureView product is now being built entirely in its own housing of proprietary parts. "This is what we've been waiting for," said CEO Rich McBride. "To watch a year and a half of work come together -- perfectly -- is the reward we all deserve. We have them 'in the box,' and as soon as testing is completed, we intend to start shipping!" Col. Larry Hoffman, USA (ret), promised a full report on major accomplishments with government agencies as soon as approvals are granted for release of the information. "The SecureView system was tested and used in a classified assignment, and we have to wait for an approved press release," according to Jennifer Lawson, agency president of McBride & Associates. "We also have a major contract pending with a foreign government and scheduled meetings overseas." On a lighter note, the SeaView live video site at the Florida Aquarium should be up and running on the Internet shortly. The site is a cooperative effort between SeaView, the Florida Aquarium, and the St. Petersburg Times, and will be accessible 24 hours a day. SPECIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE Officials at the American Stock Exchange have contacted the Company regarding permission to release statements confirming the application to brokerage firms and individual callers. "It's the most common question we're being asked," McBride stated. "Several major brokerage firms have inquired. A few documents were lost in transit or misplaced; we are expediting copies today. I have assurances that, once reviews are complete, the percentages are very positive that we will be accepted. At that point we will work with our Representative to consider the issues of timing."
