A research website on C.BOP by WALDO will be ready soon. geocities.com BOP:ASE SUITE #503, 1055 WEST BROADWAY VANCOUVER, BC V6H 1E2 (604) 730-6910 Fax: (604) 730-6930 e-mail: gdplc@ibm.net Shares Issued and Outstanding: 24,896,766 Float: Approx 10,000,000 Year High / Low:1.45 /.10 CDN Previous Close: 1.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE COMPANY Border is an interactive gaming systems company, with unique technology, protected by U.S. and International patents and patents pending. BOP is progressing under its agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of BingoNet, a Delaware corporation, for a cash purchase price of USD$6.5 Million. BingoNet's sole asset consists of certain contractual rights to patents for which Border currently holds exclusive North American rights. By acquiring BingoNet, Border will control exclusive worldwide rights to the BingoNet Patents and will effectively eliminate the cost of on-going payments of minimum annual royalties of USD $600,000 payable to BingoNet. The BingoNet Patents concern wide area bingo games, and other patternrecognition games of chance played in accordance with the methods and apparatus taught and claimed in three U.S. patents issued. The methods and apparatus allow players to participate in a bingo or similar interactive pattern recognition game without having to attend a specific location, such as a bingo hall. In addition, this proprietary technology enables players to play exciting interactive games that ''draw to a winner'', at home, on the Internet, or wherever the game is broadcast. The European Patent Office granted BingoNet Patents in 17 European countries. This brings the total patent registrations, which include Australia and the United States, to 19 countries. Additional international patent registrations are being advanced in Brazil, Canada, Finland, Japan, Korea, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation and throughout most of the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom together with 18 additional African and Asian countries. On August 6th, BOP announced the reaching of an agreement with the vendor of BingoNet, Inc. to extend the completion date for the acquisition from July 30th, 1999 to September 30th, 1999, subject to payment of $150,000 U.S. paid July 30, 1999 and two additional payments of $150,000 U.S. each prior to completion. Border is in the process of arranging a financing of $6.5 Million U.S., which is the acquisition price of BingoNet. SETTLEMENT WITH DION BOP has reported the signing of a settlement agreement with Dion Entertainment Corp. (TSE:DIO) and other parties which, when completed, will resolve all existing disputes between Border and the Dion Group. The resolution involves reorganization of the ownership and marketing of certain U.S. and International patents, and the operation of the St. Mary's gaming facility joint venture in New Brunswick. Upon acquiring sole ownership of the Patents and Trademark, Border and the Dion Group will each pursue complimentary worldwide marketing plans with respect to televised interactive bingo and other pattern recognition games. In particular, Border will grant the Dion Group a master license, permitting it to grant sub-licenses in respect of the Patents and Trademark on an unrestricted basis, subject to payment to Border of a royalty based on a standard industry percentage of net gaming revenues.

Morning Boolish! Well I was one of the fortunate ones who had purchased stock in this company just prior to its halt waaaaay back in April of this year. Throughout this time, I have watched as other firms have been scrambling to try to capture a piece of the "Bingo" related business. What was interesting to me was that while these other companies were scrambling to grab a piece of the pie, I was confident that the management at Border Capital were quietly building a business plan and establishing legal and patent agreements that would firmly establish them as a force in this arena. I believe that this company has spent these past number of months cleaning up their previous business arrangements so that it would not hinder them when they came back on to the market. I also believe that they used this time to build their business plan and contacts to a point where the company is a much stronger, and more focused company than they were 4 long months ago. I would be very surprised if we did not soon see evidence of their efforts. I look forward to seeing what this company can / will be doing. My bet is that it will be pretty good! Crazy Canuk
