I've held TVIN for over 3 years. I purchased TVIN on the reccomendation of Buzz Schwarts, an investment advisor/radio owner in Pamona, California (AM 1600 in Southern California). TVIN's management gave Buzz false stories that pushed the stock over $1. Through this experience I learned what a market maker was. After I watched the stock fall below 10 Cents, I put it at the bottom of my portfolio. I planned keeping it as a tax hedge against profits in other companies. Your post has sparked a slight hope that there is some life left in the company. Do you know where I could get independant information on the company. Thank's Glenn

Afternoon, FYI: BW1457 APR 06,1999 12:05 PACIFIC 15:05 EASTERN ( BW)(MD-TVI)(TVIN) TVI Corporation Completes Litigation, Increases Ownership In Internet Service Provider Business Editors GLENN DALE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 1999--TVI Corporation announced Tuesday that it had successfully concluded the last two of its lawsuits, increasing its interest in an Internet Service Provider to about 25%. TVI had filed a total of five suits in recent years seeking to obtain ownership of assets purchased with funds embezzled from it by its former president. Three lawsuits had previously been compromised to the company=s satisfaction. In the settlement of one suit, TVI obtained an additional 160,000 common shares of USA Access, Inc., an Internet Service Provider in Las Vegas, Nevada. USA Access operates under the name Access Nevada with its Home Page at www.accessnv.com. This brings TVI=s ownership to 460,000 shares, or about 25% of the outstanding shares of USA Access. Since there is no market for the shares, TVI will carry them at no value and will recognize no gain from the settlement. In the second suit, TVI obtained ownership of $75,000 in promissory notes issued by USA Access. The notes bear interest at 9% and mature in September 1999. The company will record an extraordinary gain of about $103,000 from this settlement, and will accrue monthly interest income. TVI is seeking a buyer for its interests in USA Access. Additionally, TVI announced that it has recently received an order valued at about $194,000 for thermal targets from a large Army armor range. It has also received small orders from several other ranges. First quarter bookings for thermal targets have been at more normal levels after being down last year. TVI also noted that it had delivered a Portable Clean Room to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The enclosure is being used to house the Microwave Anistrophy Probe Spacecraft scheduled for launch in the year 2000. The Class 10,000 clean room had been evaluated and was purchased by ManTech Environmental. TVI has also developed an exterior clean room and contamination enclosure and will seek marketing arrangements for the products. TVI's common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol TVIN.
