Subject: BSR Group Status Update 12/22/98 Date: Sun, 20 Dec 1998 12:37:09 -0800 MESSAGE FROM: Rod Steel- Hi gang!
The following was the document filed with the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench on December 10th. The Justice's rulings (as I understand them) are inserted in square brackets. With respect to the shareholder advisory committee, I have been informed that our group is being seriously considered for membership through the person of myself. There were eleven applications, eight have made the "short list" for interview and five will be chosen. Target date for completion of the selection process is the end of January. I have been contacted by a shareholder who believes that the Diadem deal is a give-away (possibly several billion dollars worth). I am in the process of gathering as much factual data as possible concerning the value of our Indonesian properties and the viability/cost of their development. If any of you have useful information in this regard please call me at 1-800-334-4922. (if this e-mail gets truncated let me know).
