.TECHNICALS

clearstation.com
i- Clearstation makes it simple by color coding the
trend, which is green, and that means uptrend and that is where the easiest
money is made. I ran a 6 month chart on EVIS is was so confident that the
technical were never better and I was right. The OBV, relates price to
volume, and tries to capture the buying and selling pressure in the market.
The OBV has never been stronger in 6 months which means the price should
keep acclerating(12-12-99). EVIS has steadingly increasing volume which is
one of the earliest buy indicators. The 13ema is well above the 20ema.
The macd is trending strong above the midline. The histogram shows the
strength of the movement and it is a surging tide.
Year 2000
The Company has continued working with third-party suppliers of
software and related services in resolving Year 2000 issues and anticipates
testing will be completed by August 31, 1999. No matters have come to the
attention of management of the Company which would indicate that the
estimated total cos of the program should be revised. The cost had been
estimated to be less than $50,000.

identification, evaluation and selection of small, emerging high tech

the organization of a Boulder-based Internet software company, Novazen

RENCENT NEWS/PENDING EVENTS/INDUSTRY
The following information was received from a prominent EVIS employee. Any
day now, the test site for "olbroker.com" should be up and running. This
will be primarily for Asian customers trading American Securities but, will
not exclude world wide trading. In Hong Kong, there are already 5 broker
relationships establsihed and 30 should be easily accomplished. EVIS has
very strong Hong Kong stock exchange affiliations since Online Credit is
based there. By mid january, the Ebroker should be a fully functional
trading website. EVIS will likely do IPO spinoffs of Ebanker and Ebroker
which will benefit current shareholders with some type of dividend. Ebanker
should be a reality in the 1st qtr of 2000. Eight webdevelopers have been
hired in Vancouver, BC to concentrate on the Ebanker and Ebroker. EVIS has
hired eight full time webdevelopers in the Vancouver, BC office. Online
Credit have hired 24 webdevelopers in Hong Kong and they are working 24
hours a day. EVIS will have a home website by the end of january. Q6 is
preparing for its first round of financing which investment bankers are very
anxious to participate. Q6 will announce its endeavors by the end of
january. It is rumored and there is some evidence that EVIS is going to
sign a large contract with an internet co to become an ISP(interrnet service
provider). Ecommerce is rumored to be in the newmaking also for EVIS.
But the payoff could be big and the prospect of clients trading at any
given moment from any point around the globe is simply too enticing to
ignore. Most analysts point to the Far East, including Japan and Hong Kong,
as the regions with the greatest potential for growth in online trading.
ragingbull.com
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd said it will sign an information sharing
agreement with the Nasdaq-Amex Market Group in New York on Monday, paving
the way for dual listings of stocks in the two exchanges.

COMPARISONS

To further your interest, one
company that EVIS is being compared to is HRCT because of a somewhat similar
business plan. Look at the HRCT chart. Of course, HRCT has had numerous news
releases.The amazing thing is that HRCT,a company with zero revenue 2
employees and a float of 6.5 million has a market cap of 374 million,(at a
stock price of 19) while EVIS, a company with 28.8 mil in revenues, 222
employees and a float of 3.6 mil has a market cap of 24 million. So for evis
to get to even 1/2 the market cap of HRCT, it would have to trade at around
10 dollars/share.
