Thought You Folks Might Find This Interesting. This was the News Release concerning the CDNX Index initial introduction.As highlighted,there will be a review at the end of March and I think CPT has a chance to make the cut. Being on the index has the advantage of greater exposure and possibly more interest from Venture Capital Funds, among others.Let's keep an eye open for those that are cut and those companies added to see where CPT stands at it's current market cap.Hopefully the company is aware of this quarterly review. ********************************************************* PS: Marcos RE: The Queen...Veddy Funny,eh?

Bill Hess, President and CEO of the Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX), today introduced IndexCDNX, a family of small cap indicators designed to track the venture market in Canada. Complementing the Exchange?s main venture capital index, three sector indices for technology, mining, and oil & gas were unveiled this afternoon. Initially set at 2000, the CDNX index has risen more than 65% since its November 29, 1999, launch, and nearly 45% this year. The sector indices ? also set at 2000 in November ? have escalated as well, with technology rising 107%, mining up 55% and oil & gas at a 18% increase in 2000. "IndexCDNX is designed to serve as Canada?s true small cap benchmark," explains Bill Hess. "It is a unique tool for tracking venture capital investments." A reflection of the small cap sector of companies, IndexCDNX is similar to indices such as the S&P/TSE Canadian Smallcap, the U.S.-based Russell 2000 and the FTSE Allsmall. As a benchmark for the venture market, it cannot be accurately compared to the S&P/TSE 300, the Nasdaq Composite or the Dow. The CDNX index and sub indices are comprised of the top 80% of companies by market capitalization. The technology sector index encompasses 31 companies that make up the top 80% of the technology sector. The CDNX technology sector, as a whole, includes 280 listings. More than 925 listings are included in the mining sector, while the top 80% comprising the mining sector index includes 170 companies. The top 80% of oil & gas companies in that sector?s index includes 30 companies out of a total of just over 335 listings. As of Monday, February 14, the CDNX index was up 44% for the year, closing at 3368.38. The technology sector index closed at 5857.89, the mining index at 3372.56 and oil & gas at 2197.51. IndexCDNX is rebalanced each quarter to account for changing market capitalization among listed companies. The first rebalance is scheduled for March 31, 2000.** Index data can be viewed in graph form from the CDNX homepage and website visitors can download index data directly from the market information section of the site.
